After making sure that there were no other players in the corridor, Lin Chi sneaked out, stared at the brown walls on both sides, and began to look for other clues.

To find a distress text in the huge ark that I don't know exists, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, Lin Chi looked left and right for a long time, and before he saw a new distress message, a line of kill prompts suddenly popped up in front of him:

The player "died in the street" was killed by the player "Moon Shadow Chie"!

As the kill prompt appeared, a figure suddenly flashed in the corridor ahead. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi immediately dodged and hid in a small cabin next to him, avoiding the female player who was full of hostility towards him.

As before, he had just entered the cabin, and it smelled like a sweet and greasy spirit, and an indescribable strange smell came to his face again.

The walls were pure brown, hard as iron and smooth as ice, and I couldn't tell what material they were made of. In the round portholes embedded in the walls, an unfathomable darkness hangs.

Looking at the milky white light wafting in the room, Lin Chi lay on the ground without any image, checked under the single bed, and found no secret doors or anything like that.

However, in the drawer of the brown wood bedside table next to him, he finally found something strange-looking:

It was an empty matchbox, with a red cross pattern painted on the box, Lin Chi tore open the box casually, and saw a line of small characters written in a black water-based pen inside:

"Help, don't open the door."

- Is this really a distress signal?

Looking at the contents of the matchbox, Lin Chi couldn't help frowning slightly.

Although this kind of code hidden in the corners is often seen in detective and puzzle games, if it is really a call for help, no one will bother to write it in a matchbox.

After all, there is too much chance that a message hidden in such a place will be overlooked. But if it's not a distress signal, that is......

This game seems to be a duel between players, but in fact there is a puzzle game hidden?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also immediately became interested, casually put the matchbox into his pocket, and continued to look for possible information in the house.

He was looking around when he heard heavy footsteps in the hallway outside the cabin again.

The sound of footsteps coming from both sides, rhythmically approaching, finally at the door of the cabin where he was...... Stopped.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Lin Chi held his breath and stared at the dark purple door panel of the cabin with fine lines engraved without blinking. After a moment of silence, a voice finally sounded in front of the door:

"Woman, you have four chips in your hand, right?" A rough male voice came from the left.

"Just kill you, and you'll have six chips." This is the voice of Chiju Tsukikage.

"Ha, then don't talk nonsense, let's go head-to-head."

After the man finished speaking, there was an eerie clicking sound in the hallway again.

It wasn't until the voices of the two of them completely disappeared that Lin Chi finally relaxed again, stood in front of the door panel, and observed the pattern on the door with great interest.

The last time he left, he didn't pay attention to the door of the cabin, only that the pattern on the door was extremely delicate. But this time, the prompt message in the matchbox caught his attention:

- Don't open the door.

Although there is also a saying for "open the door" in the language of some places, it is more convenient to write "open the door" when writing on paper. The reason why we need to write an extra word "open" may be the crux of the problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi stared at the intricate pattern on the door for a while, then stretched out his translucent right hand to hold the doorknob, slammed open the purple hatch in front of him, and then slammed the door slammed shut.

Bang!

At the moment when the door that had just been opened was closed, Lin Chi opened the door again, and his vision suddenly dimmed, and the corridor that was supposed to appear disappeared, replaced by a black metal door that looked heavy.

"Hah, that's true." Lin Chi smiled.

As he had guessed, "open the door twice in a row" was what the hint in the matchbox was trying to say.

Facing the metal door that had just appeared, Lin Chi smirked, focused his eyes on the metal door, reached out and grabbed the cold doorknob, and tugged hard.

The door seemed to be fixed to the space, and it didn't move at all. But in the center of the door, there is a skull that is also black, and the jaw is slightly open, as if something is hidden inside.

- Do you want to put your hand in?

Looking at the sharp teeth of the skeleton that were flashing with cold light, he looked down at his translucent "projection" body. Lin Chi didn't think about it for too long, so he straightened his right hand into the skeleton's mouth and began to fumble.

The cold touch of his fingertips made him realize that he should have touched a key, and just as Lin Chi was just grasping the key and trying to take it out, he heard a soft sound from inside the skull.

- Ding!

The trap has been triggered!

Between the lightning and flint, Lin Chi instantly turned on the limit state, pulled out his right hand at lightning speed, the skull's jaw closed heavily in front of his eyes, and the two rows of teeth collided with a string of sparks, cutting off the nail of Lin Chi's middle finger by the way.

"Hoo ......"

Lin Chi, who almost had his fingers amputated, let out a long breath, opened his palm with palpitations, and looked at the key he took out at the risk of his life.

It was a small silver key, not so long as it looked like it was used to open doors, but more like something used for miniature locks, and on the key hung a key chain in the shape of a cross, painted a dangerous dark red, like congealed blood.

- Does this sign have any meaning?

Looking at the red cross on the outside of the matchbox, Lin Chi thought for a moment and put the key in his pocket along with the matchbox. Gazing at the black metal door in front of him.

As much as he would love to open the door with a key, this puzzle game is obviously not that simple - the black metal door doesn't even have a keyhole on it, and it can't be opened with the key he just used.

In this case, the key should have been used somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi checked the black metal door again to make sure that no clues had been missed, and then slowly closed the original purple door of the cabin.

When he opened the cabin door again, he saw the corridor outside, and the strange black door just now, as if it had never appeared, had completely disappeared.

"So, the red cross is the clue, right......" Lin Chi muttered.

He had just left the cabin, intending to look for the place where the red cross was painted, when a kill prompt lit up again:

Player "Big Banana" was killed by player "Moon Shadow Chiju"!
