13. Add fuel to the fire

"It's a plot similar to an escape room......"

Bai Ye thought it was necessary to do a detailed inspection of the surrounding environment first.

He got up from the iron chair he was sitting on, and first shook the chair with his hand, and found that all four legs of the chair were screwed in place, and he did not move at all.

Then I went to the glass mirror and the TV and looked at it, but nothing came of it.

The surrounding concrete walls are poured in one piece, so it should be impossible to hide anything in the walls.

The searchlight overhead is also hung at a height of four or five meters, which is impossible to reach even if you put your foot on a chair.

"Looks like the only way to get out of here first."

He walked over to the iron door, reached out and grabbed the doorknob, and pushed it forward.

The iron door clicked open with a stutter that had not been oiled for a long time.

Outside, a dimly lit passage looks like a patchwork of shipping containers.

Bai Ye switched to an active stance.

After the beep, his body began to heat up gradually, and his hands and feet were infused with more strength.

According to the puppet's description and the description of the mission objective, he will intersect with 3 people who 'have the same experience' in this game.

Then, before meeting those 3 people, there should be no danger in the surrounding unrelated environment.

The mission time limit is only 10 minutes, and there is no telling what kind of situation will be encountered in front of us.

For the sake of saving time, it is better to run forward.

……

Bai Ye ran forward along the passage, and after turning two corners, an iron gate appeared in front of him.

Push the door in, and behind it is a large space, which looks like a corner of an abandoned factory, with a simple internal structure.

The windows on all sides are welded with iron bars, which are airtight, and the indoor temperature is slightly high.

Overhead, there is a dazzling fluorescent lamp, and a monitor hangs in the upper right corner.

In the very center of the space, a large, strangely shaped installation is erected.

At first glance, the device looks like an overturned T-shaped iron pillar, with a transparent plastic bucket filled with a colorless liquid hanging upside down from the top of the pillar, labeled 'fuel' on the barrel, with the barrel mouth downwards and plugged by a wooden stopper.

The wooden stopper is connected to an iron wire, which leads to a geared chronograph that displays a five-minute countdown...... This means that after 5 minutes, the gears on it will twist, the wire will pull the wooden stopper of the 'fuel' barrel, and the liquid fuel inside will be poured out.

On the iron pillar directly below the fuel barrel, a young man in a shirt and trousers was tied at this time.

He raised his hands above his head, was restrained to the iron ring of the pillar, stepped on the iron pillar platform with his bare feet, and when he saw Bai Ye enter the door, he immediately shouted 'HELP'.

The iron pillar platform is about a meter above the ground, and the bottom is hollowed out into a bowl, and the inside is filled with red-hot charcoal fire.

At this time, the pillar was baked hot by charcoal, and the young man tried to shrink his feet and struggle to support himself.

……

Near the strange contraption was a low square table with a stack of paper printed with text on it, and a small silver tape recorder pressed on the paper.

Bai Ye first switched to a contemplative posture, and after finding no other hints, he picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button.

Rustling...... Rustling......

"Hello, John, I want to play a game with you."

A deep, deep voice came from the tape recorder.

Bai Ye glanced back at the person on the pillar, John was obviously this person's name.

"In recent years, adding fuel to the fire and fanning the flames on the Internet has become your daily work, and the so-called Internet trolls, Wumao parties, and trolls refer to people like you.

You never delve into the truth behind the incident, and you never consider how what you do will contribute to the development of the incident, you only look at the money to do this, because of your existence, the cost of rumor-mongering and slander has become extremely low......"

The deep voice paused, and continued:

"The device you're standing on now has a name that fits your style very well - adding fuel to the fire.

It consists of a charcoal fire and fuel mounted on top, and when the lid on the fuel drum is opened, the flame that gets the fuel to burn you will burn you to ashes in an instant. ”

"Oh no, no, no...... Oh my God......"

John, who was tied to the iron post, shook his head a little in a broken way when he heard this.

"On the 100 pieces of paper on this table, there are some 'classic quotes' that you have said, and the code to turn off this device is hidden in these 'quotes'.

All you can do is pray that fellow sympathetic friend will help you find the code before the device boots up.

What do you think? It feels very uncomfortable to have your life in the hands of others, right?

However, many times, your malicious rumors and slanders are not playing with other people's lives......

This is your only hope.

Let's start the game! ”

This is the end of the muffled sound playback in the tape recorder.

The 5-minute countdown on the 'adding fuel to the fire' device also followed.

……

Bai Ye lowered his head and looked at the thick stack of papers pressed under the tape recorder.

The paper was printed with words that looked like negative comments about something:

This book is so badly written, just seeing the title of the book has no desire to read it, the author took advantage of the early eunuch to calculate. ’

The food in this restaurant is so bad that the chef is not as good as my 80-year-old grandmother. ’

"The Alliance of the Rich 3" is a big bad movie, and the people who go to see it are all dogs raised by the American imperialists. ’

“……”

This John is really a typical troll.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze? There's no time, help me! ”

John was already shouting in a hurry:

"Damn, my feet are getting burned."

Bai Ye frowned slightly.

Is this the attitude you should have when asking for help from others?

There were only 10 minutes to save people, and now about 3 minutes have passed. ’

It's almost impossible to save all 3 people in this time, right?

'Unless...... Will there be an overtime reward after a successful rescue? ’

Bai Ye had a 'jaw ripper' on his head, and he couldn't communicate with John.

He could only make a 'calm and easy' gesture at the other party, and then ignored John's various trash words, and hurried to look through the 100 sheets of paper with 'troll quotes' written on them.

"There is only one 'quote' on each piece of paper, and I don't know how many pieces of paper in it are related to hidden passwords?"

Bai Ye's hand quickly flipped through the pieces of paper, and his eyes swept over the 'quotations'.

"It's more than 5 minutes just to read these 100 pieces of paper sentence by sentence? You have to speed it up......

Could there be any other hint on the piece of paper with the password...... Well?! ”

He suddenly stopped what he was doing, and pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of papers, which was obviously different in size and texture.

On the piece of paper, only a pen was handwritten, and a distinctive sentence was written:

'No one can survive, follow the direction of the heart to find, X is the hope of life! ’
