Chapter 4: The Dark Dungeon
When Lin Yuanzheng woke up, he found himself lying in a dark room, which was damp and stuffy, and there was a foul smell. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info still had a faint pain in his head, but he jumped up immediately, because he remembered something: today is October 28th, and he is going to attend Tianshu's Super League! If he is absent, not only will he not be able to get 50,000 yuan, but he will also have to compensate Tianshu 500,000 yuan!
500,000! Huge sums of money! Sell both of his kidneys for less than 500,000!
But when he jumped, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over his body: for he found himself wearing heavy shackles around his neck, hands, and feet!
"What the hell is going on?!" Lin Yuanzheng was angry and flustered in his heart.
Today's events are slowly starting to be recalled-
He remembered that he got up at six o'clock today, and then went for a walk. Seven o'clock, breakfast. At 7:40, I went back to my room and read the news. At nine o'clock, he simply packed up a little thing and went downstairs to take a taxi to the airport, which was the first time he had taken a plane in his life, so he deliberately advanced it an hour earlier. At half past nine, we officially arrived at the airport. Because of the delay, the plane didn't take off until eleven o'clock.
It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon when the plane arrived in S City. As soon as he got off the plane, under the organization of the reception staff, he and several other guests of the event went to the conference room of Tianshu Group for a meeting, which was presided over by a manager, and talked endlessly for more than an hour, introducing them to Tianshu Group and various products, and finally mysteriously announced that Tianshu would launch a game to the market early next year that was "as revolutionary as nuclear energy". I don't want to say much about what this game is like, and I don't even pick out the name.
However, although the manager would be very verbose, in the end, he called Lin Yuanzheng's name in public, saying that his idea was very interesting, and their planning director wanted to meet him, which made the guests who came with him look at him with admiration.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the hungry Lin Yuanzheng and other guests had lunch at a nearby hotel. Since the event officially started at seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Yuanzheng, who had nothing to do, just wandered around the Tianshu Building. While wandering around, he is fascinated by a live-action escape room game next to a building, where the head of a cosplay wizard in gray robe declares that "the secret room has never been cracked, and if anyone manages to escape, they will receive a mysterious gift".
With great curiosity, Lin Yuanzheng signed up, but he found that the difficulty of the secret room was not as great as he imagined, and everything went very smoothly. After the final level was solved, the front door slowly opened, and he sat in a device made like a "time machine" and drove forward, and then the "time machine" seemed to hit something, and with a "boom", he fainted.
Then, when he woke up, he found that he was already here......
Are you still in an escape room game? Lin Yuanzheng shook his head that was about to crack in pain.
This can't be the so-called "mystery reward", right?
He groped in the dark a few times, and soon found something, and by the dim starlight outside the window, he found that he was holding a hand, a severed hand of a man!
"Is anyone there? Let me out! I'm not playing, let me out! I'm not playing! This severed hand made Lin Yuanzheng feel infinite panic in his heart, and he immediately shouted loudly.
"What a noise! I'm so annoyed, I have to go to work tomorrow! ”
Lin Yuanzheng was taken aback, only to find that there were still people in the corner of the dark room.
"Excuse me, this old man......" Lin Yuanzheng cautiously probed.
"Disturb Lao Tzu's rest again, Lao Tzu will break your neck now!" The man cursed viciously.
Lin Yuanzheng really didn't dare to make a sound, and not long after, he heard a thunderous snoring sound in the corner, which shook his eardrums.
"Alas—" In the dark, Lin Yuanzheng heard someone sigh, the voice was low, but he still heard it clearly.
"Is there anyone else?" Lin Yuanzheng asked softly.
"Yes." A voice replied softly, a little hoarse.
"Where are we?" Lin Yuanzheng asked eagerly.
It was a long time before he heard the man reply, "Sneak into the dungeon." ”
Lin Yuanzheng chuckled in his heart and continued to speak: "My name is Lin Yuanzheng, I was originally playing an escape room game, and then I suddenly found out that I was here. How did you get here? ”
"I'm also because of a game." The man's voice was dejected.
"****** Tianshu! Sure enough, there is a conspiracy! Lin Yuanzheng finally couldn't control himself and shouted, "I also said how could such a good thing fall on my head!" Damn it! I'm ****** stupid! Tomorrow they can call me 500,000 in compensation! I'm such a pig's head! Vile! Shameless! It's so mean! ”
"What half a million?" The man was puzzled.
"Despicable! Damn it! I'm going to have to fight a lawsuit with them! They will not be allowed to succeed! Lin Yuanzheng was emotionally out of control and was already close to hysteria.
"This idiot! Shut up yet! The snorer was woken up and immediately roared in a low voice. However, it was already late, and there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then, only to hear the sound of "dangchang", the door of the black room was opened, and four big men with black cloth covering their faces and shirtless broke in. These big men were holding torches in one hand and a big knife in the other, and their upper arms were tattooed with small black dragons with teeth and claws, which were particularly dazzling.
"Who's making noise?" The first big man asked, with a fierce light in his eyes.
The man who was roaring in the corner just now wilted under the majesty of this big man, and stretched out a hand to point at Lin Yuanzheng.
"Isn't this the one-eyed red-haired day of war torture? Hey, weren't you crazy before? Why have you become well-behaved now? The big man glanced at the man, coldly sarcastic, and several big men behind him laughed. The face of the war torture day was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
"Take it away!" The leader of the big man pointed at Lin Yuanzheng, Lin Yuanzheng realized that the situation was not good at this time, but he had no room for resistance, the two big men sandwiched him left and right, and he immediately left his feet off the ground, like a big doll was set out of the black room.
"Who are you? Where are you going to take me? Lin Yuanzheng was about to ask these big men, but his mouth opened, but he couldn't make a sound. With the wailing, screaming, and crying of all kinds of people coming from the depths of the corridor, as well as the roars and roars of some strange large animals, Lin Yuanzheng's heart was firmly occupied by fear and fear.
"It seems that the matter is by no means as simple as fraud, and it is likely to be pyramid schemes, kidnapping, organ trafficking, ****** scientific experiments, terrorist ......" At that moment, countless thoughts popped up in Lin Yuanzheng's head, and he suddenly felt weak, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
A few big men carried him out of a few iron gates without saying a word, and turned a lot of corners, and his eyes suddenly brightened, and Lin Yuanzheng was completely shocked by the scene in front of him: in front of him was a huge circular cave, and many huge torches hung on the walls of the cave, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day. Inside the cave were many kneeling people, all wrapped in turbans and black robes, with their upper bodies pressed against the ground, as if they were praying for something.
In front of the cave stood a tall pyramid-shaped platform made of wood, on which stood what appeared to be a wizard, who was short in stature, with two looped legs, and a short staff in his hand, on which he was dancing a strange dance, and what seemed to be chanting something. He wore a robe of an indescribable color, adorned with many black feathers; With a skull necklace around his neck, he looks indescribably mysterious and eerie.
Lin Yuanzheng suddenly understood: this was some kind of religious ceremony.
I saw that the wizard had finished dancing, and then stood still, and recited a series of prayers solemnly with his back to the crowd, and the people who knelt below suddenly boiled, some kept shouting for joy, and some kowtowed desperately. The wizard raised his short staff and danced in the air a few times, and several huge oil lamps on the stone wall in front of him exploded a few times, and the flames became very bright.
As the light gradually brightened, Lin Yuanzheng realized that there was a bottomless, black rumbling abyss in front of the wizard, and the sound of a "whine" gale was constantly coming from below.
The frantic crowd suddenly became quiet, and made way in an orderly manner. The two big men pushed a wooden cage and slowly walked along the path to the front of the abyss, and Lin Yuanzheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat - because there was clearly a person in the cage! A living person! A living man trapped in a cage struggling desperately to escape!
Sure enough, as the wizard sang a few words, the big men mercilessly pushed the cage down the abyss!
The people in the cave also became very nervous at this time, stretching their necks as if waiting for something, and the air and atmosphere in the cave became extremely oppressive.
After a long time, I heard the sound of wood breaking and the screams of people coming from below the abyss. The sound also seemed to wake up some kind of animal sleeping beneath the abyss, and the ground shook violently a few times, as if some animal was about to climb up from below.
The wizard also became excited, waving his short staff and screaming. Soon the big men pushed up the second cage, the third cage, the fourth ...... from behind Without exception, each of these cages contained a living person, and then the living person was pushed down into the abyss along with the cage. With each push down, those in the middle of the cave become more excited, and the fire in the cave becomes brighter. By the time the seventh cage went down, the atmosphere inside had reached its climax.
The monsters below the abyss are also climbing higher and higher, and they are almost coming to the top. By the light of the fire, you could already see the huge shadow cast by the monster on the stone wall, which was something that looked like both a super python and a dragon. It is said to be like a dragon, because the monster python-like shadow has two horns on it. A strong fishy smell began to fill the air.
The man behind Lin Yuanzheng muttered something, and the two men on the left and right immediately carried Lin Yuanzheng towards the abyss! Lin Yuanzheng was taken aback, and immediately shouted desperately: "Let go of me!" Let go! What exactly are you going to do? I'll just do it, don't ......."
Perhaps it was his shouts that caught the wizard's attention, and the wizard looked back at him. Lin Yuanzheng found out that the wizard was still wearing a mask, and there was a flash of light in the two eyes under the mask, and Lin Yuanzheng immediately seemed to be frozen, unable to move, and couldn't even make a sound out of his mouth. The two men who were carrying Lin Yuanzheng also stopped.
The wizard raised his short staff and said a few words to Lin Yuanzheng, Lin Yuanzheng felt an invisible force coming from the wizard's staff, that power was very strange, and it walked along Lin Yuanzheng's whole body and then immediately dissipated without a trace. That feeling, as if the whole body was being touched all over the body, made Lin Yuanzheng feel very disgusting.
The wizard withdrew his staff, seemed to be very angry, jumped to his feet, and said a lot of words—but Lin Yuanzheng couldn't understand a word—and several big men around Lin Yuanzheng immediately knelt on the ground in unison, looking like they were waiting to be punished.
The wizard reprimanded him severely, and the leader replied with the same strange words, and the wizard waved his hand and motioned for them to get out of here. Several men hurriedly pulled Lin Yuanzheng out of the cave in front of them, and everyone didn't dare to look back, only to hear a tsunami-like cheer from behind them and a strange whining sound that seemed to be made by a musical instrument.
After walking a long way, several big men breathed a sigh of relief, and the leader scolded: "I was going to take you to worship the gods, damn, who knew that you were still a white cloth!" What a piece of rubbish! Fortunately, the high priest found out just in time! Damn, I almost got a few of us brothers! It's also thanks to Lao Tzu's quick response, otherwise even our brothers would have suffered! ”
Lin Yuanzheng escaped death and went back and forth at the Ghost Gate, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, but he felt that his legs were so weak that he didn't answer anything.
A big man asked, "Big brother, what should this kid do now?" ”
"What else can I do? Just throw it into the cell next to it, it's really cheap for him! Those parasite veterans of the Criminal Law Department make such low-level mistakes! Damn it! The leader scolded and scolded.
So Lin Yuanzheng was thrown into a prison again, but this cell seemed to be better than the original, at least it was not so damp, and there was a thin layer of straw on the ground. After tossing all night, Lin Yuanzheng was still trying his best to be vigilant, but maybe he was too frightened, but now that he suddenly relaxed, his two eyelids couldn't help but fight.
