Undercover Games 1. Closed chambers

Next Chapter

A dimly lit room, an oppressive atmosphere, and a suffocating smell of disinfectant.

The crumbling broken incandescent lamps on the roof still glowed, stubbornly illuminating every corner of the room.

Pain!

A man clutched his head in sharp pain and staggered to his feet, unaware of what had happened.

"What is this place?"

Now he only felt that his eyes were dark as if they were disjointed, his head was still throbbing, and the hand covering the pain also felt a trace of stickiness.

"It's... Blood? ”

The sticky glue-like feeling on his hand made him feel more and more nauseous, and when he endured the pain and saw the blood on his hand, this disgusting feeling became even stronger, and it made him kneel directly on the ground and retch.

Finally suppressing the disgusting feeling, the man slowly raised his head, and the originally dark eyes finally gradually returned to brightness, which allowed him to slowly observe his surroundings.

As far as the eye can see, the first thing you see is the white square floor tiles that are not too clean, and the black dirt can be clearly seen in the gaps between the floor tiles, which may have been cleaned for a long time.

When I looked up, I saw an ordinary plywood door in front of me, and when I pushed it lightly with my hand, it didn't seem to be particularly strong.

In addition to a bare shelf bed, there is a locked toilet in the room.

On the wall next to the toilet is a strange white number 7, circled in red, and next to it is a line of twisted and oblique small letters.

'If you want to live, find a way to get out of here!' ’

For some reason, the man seemed to read the deep fear of the writer from this small line.

"What the hell is this place? Why am I here? ”

The man lost his memory, even his name, until he saw a dusty mirror above the toilet.

Gently wiped it on the mirror with his hand, and only then could he see his appearance in the mirror.

His face was haggard and pale, and he had short black spiritual hair, although it had now become a mess, and the almost dry blood left from his sideburns, and his bloodshot eyes, made him feel more and more terrifying.

It's all so weird, why is he here? And what about the blood stains around the sideburns? Also, who are you?

The man's head slowly lowered, the pain in the back of his head not seeming to go away, but the pain was now starting to make him feel more and more awake.

Suddenly, the man saw that he was actually wearing a prison uniform.

The black and white stripes made him forget his reaction for a while, and he was stunned for a while.

"I'm not going to be a prisoner, am I? But what about the writing on the wall? ”

At this time, the name tag attached to his chest attracted his attention, which also made him finally know his identity.

"Player No. 7, Chen Xiao. What do you mean? ”

Chen Xiao was confused, but now he seemed to have finally understood something.

"Players? Gamers? ”

Chen Xiao slowly moved to the front of the shelf bed and sat on the lower floor.

"Judging from the words on the name plate, my name is Chen Xiao, player No. 7, it should indicate that I was involved in a game, but what game needs to knock me out and bring me here?"

Chen Xiao's emotions began to collapse, and he couldn't help but start howling loudly around the empty surroundings.

"Anyone? Let me out! I don't want to play games, I don't want to be a player! ”

But all the hysteria was in vain, and after howling for a while, Chen Xiao finally collapsed on the shelf next to the bed with some exhaustion.

Turning his head to look around, Chen Xiao's gaze finally stopped on the wall.

"If you want to live, you have to find a way to get out of here? Could it be that this is an escape game? But why me? What is the significance of this game? ”

The pain in his body gradually subsided, and the fear of the unknown began to entrench beside Chen Xiao, making him unable to sit still anymore and came to the wooden door.

"Isn't this door unlocked?" Chen Xiao slowly opened the plywood door. "Oh, there's another one behind this..."

Behind the plywood door, there is also an iron door with a four-digit combination lock from 0 to 9.

"Looks like this is a secret room? Could it be that the so-called game is an escape room? ”

As if he had decided that he had discovered the secret of the environment, Chen Xiao began to actively look for clues, even if his mind was still a little chaotic, but he no longer had the panic and fear before, instead of absolute calm, and even some excitement.

He didn't know why his mood changed so quickly, it didn't matter to him anymore, the most important thing now was to get out of this hellish place.

"Generally, there will be certain clues to follow up in the escape room, and the player will not be confused to look for it, but there is no trace on the combination lock, and it may even be deliberately cleaned up, so basically nothing will be found..."

Chen Xiao looked around the room, and finally fixed on the words on the wall.

"So, the clue must be in this room, perhaps, hidden in this sentence..."

Standing up tremblingly, Chen Xiao slowly came to the wall where the words were written, and began to carefully observe the line of words.

"There's nothing strange about the font, and the paint has dried up, so could it be a stroke?"

Chen Xiao counted the strokes of these twelve characters one by one, but did not find any patterns, which also made him a little discouraged and wanted to search elsewhere.

Suddenly, there was a tremor on the ground, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but an explosion that followed forced him to turn his head and look at where the sound came from.

I saw that the sink on the toilet bowl that was originally locked had exploded at this time, and debris flew everywhere, and the most terrifying thing was that there was a large amount of water gushing out of it, and after a while, it accumulated all over the ground.

"Damn it!"

Chen Xiao hurriedly came to the toilet and tried to forcibly block the leak, but the water column was too big and urgent, and there were no tools available beside him, so that he had no way to block it.

"What should I do? There doesn't seem to be any gaps in this room, it's a sealed space..."

The danger came quickly, which also made Chen Xiao fall into pressure again, the weight of death was enough to make a person lose his calm thinking, but he surprisingly did not lose his mind, but quickly came to the password door and studied the password lock.

"Four-digit combination lock, there are a total of 10,000 solutions, it is obviously impossible to try one by one, and the calligraphy and painting are obviously not quite right, is it related to other things in the room?"

Chen Xiao quickly glanced at the things in the room, a double bed, a toilet, and a mirror.

"Could it be that it has something to do with this number? But what is the last number? ”

Looking at the rising water level in the room, Chen Xiao noticed the name tag on his body and couldn't help shouting.

"Number 7! Why didn't I think of that?! ”

The water level had already reached Chen Xiao's waist, and after taking the combination lock, he hurriedly tried all the combinations of the four numbers, but contrary to his wishes, this did not open the combination lock.

The sound of rushing water was endless, which also made Chen Xiao, who should have been excited, nervous again.

The water level is slowly rising, and it is now past the position of the combination lock, and Chen Xiao's height is not enough to support him to stand steadily in the room, he can only become floating, thinking about the password while stabilizing his body.

Four-digit password...

Twelve words...

Player Seven...

"What the hell is the password?!"

Chen Xiao's head began to hurt again, but this time it was not because of the external wound, but because of the internal entanglement.

But time waits for no one, and in the face of real death, the potential of some people will always be stimulated, and the same is true for Chen Xiao.

"Calm down, Chen Xiao, you have to be calm, the more anxious you are at this time, the more you can't think of a way out..."

Chen Xiao paddled his hands on the surface of the water to keep himself from drowning in the water, and at the same time looked around the room again.

"Since the number of items is wrong, then the clue can only exist in those twelve words, is it 1207?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao plunged into the water, quickly swam to the combination lock, and tried the password.

But to his surprise, the password was still wrong, which also puzzled him.

"There are only a few things in the room, and if this is not a password, then what are the details?"

The water sprayed out had filled the room completely, and Chen Xiao was already in a state of being completely submerged and holding his breath, but his mind was still very clear, his eyes had been staring at the words on the wall, and he had been reading those words silently in his heart.

"The total number of words is wrong... But there is no punctuation, is there a problem with logic? ”

Two minutes have passed since the room was flooded, and an adult male, if he didn't train regularly, would be able to hold it for about five minutes at most, and Chen Xiao's current situation was the same.

The long-term breath-holding made his brain gradually dizzy, and the pressure of the combination lock made him even more uneasy.

"There's no time..."Chen Xiao struggled to swim to the side of the iron door, picked up the combination lock, and kept thinking in his head.

"I want to live... Just find a way to get out of here..."Chen Xiao spat out bubbles. "It's not a total, is it a clause?"

Chen Xiao slowly lifted the combination lock, his eyesight in the water was much weaker than that outside, and his movements were much slower.

“4...8...0...”

Just when he was about to press the last number, there was a sudden vibration in the room, although the room had been filled with water, but this still made Chen Xiao hit the door, he didn't hold his breath, and choked on a mouthful of water.

Don't look at it as just a mouthful of water, but it could kill a person.

“7!”

At this moment of crisis, the door was finally opened, and the rushing water also rushed out frantically along the open door, and Chen Xiao, who was almost drowning.
