A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1298

Just as the robotic arms were about to seize Robin, Scarface Man lowered his voice again, “Serpentine motion, now!”

Robin had no reason to doubt Scarface Man anymore. He gripped Eleanor’s hand, and with a swift serpentine movement, they bolted towards the exit of the

arcade.

The mechanical arms, besides moving in a straight line, could swerve. Under Robin’s quick zigzagging maneuvers, they extended endlessly and turned infinitely.

Blue’s programming was clear: it had to sever an arm before retracting. Otherwise, the relentless automaton would keep chasing him until its mission was accomplished.

The unfortunate one was Eleanor. Handcuffed to Robin, their fate was intertwined. While Robin was still able to run, Eleanor, frail and weak, was quickly running

out of breath.

She had considered using Blue’s metal blade to cut their handcuffs, hoping it might stop the robot. But the blade was too wide, and their cuffs were too close-it was too risky and could end in them losing their arms.

Considering that Blue’s programming required human contact to activate, Eleanor immediately dismissed the idea. Gritting her teeth, she kept running with Robin, racking her brain for a plan.

Seeing their dwindling energy, Scarface Man sprinted to the opposite game booth number three, snatched an arm from a loud-mouthed man, and rushed back to them. Just as Blue was about to grab Robin’s arm, Scarface Man swiftly shoved the severed limb into Blue’s clasp.
