Chapter 16: What clues?
Thinking back to everything that the Death Subway experienced, Lin You didn't need to deliberately reason, and immediately knew the trigger location of the next weird journey.
But in order not to be surprised, he still had to ask Nanako some questions.
"How did the last weird trip you went through triggered?"
Nanako replied: "I was reading a novel in the dormitory at night, and suddenly that weird novel appeared, I clicked in and read it, and then I started a weird journey and appeared in a dormitory building that I couldn't escape. β
"And what clues did you use to guess where the next weird trip would be triggered?"
"It's the subway map! I found a map of the subway in my dorm building with a date and time on it, which happened to be the time of today's eerie journey. β
Lin You then asked, "When you first received the task reward, did you also want to participate in the next weird journey by default?" β
"Yes!" Nanako secretly said in her heart, isn't this nonsense? Then he took a silent sip of coffee.
"Once you claim your reward, you have to participate in the next weird trip, so even if you don't know how to trigger the next weird trip, you'll be forced to take it in."
Lin You was stuck at this point, puzzled: "When you entered the Death Metro, did you also read novels in the subway?" β
Nanako said truthfully: "That's right! Before starting the next weird journey, the novel suddenly appeared on the phone, saying that the next weird journey was about to be updated, indicating that the clues to actively trigger the next weird journey were hidden in the previous weird journey, and if you can't actively trigger the start of a new weird journey, it will increase the difficulty of survival or something. β
As soon as he said this, Lin You immediately understood!
"It seems that this spooky tour is not friendly to regular readers! If you hadn't been reading a novel in the subway to start this spooky journey, you would have been forced into the Death Subway and given your true murderer identity! β
I see!
Nanako reacted at this time, if she appeared in the death subway as a murderer, then it would be very difficult for her to survive to the end and win!
But correspondingly, the rewards are also relatively attractive!
Because as long as the murderer reaches the terminal, he can win the million-dollar prize alone, and he does not need to share it equally with his teammates.
Lin You understood the routine of that weird novel, he had a hint of disdain in IQ, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Fortunately, I am more careful and cautious, and I have observed almost the entire subway car, otherwise when I start the next weird journey, if I can't rush to the cinema in advance to trigger it, once the difficulty increases, the chance of death will also increase!" This thing is really playing with life! β
Nanako Koda was suddenly stunned.
"Cinema? What cinema? Shouldn't the place to trigger the next spooky trip be a public toilet? β
Lin You was also stunned: "How do you guess the public toilet?" β
Nanako reasoned and said: "Because the subway is a public place, and then there are three readers who pee in it, this is obviously a hint that the place to trigger the next weird trip is a public toilet!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Lin You was speechless, he didn't expect this reasoning that sounded stupid to be unexpectedly somewhat reasonable......
But he still decided on the cinema!
"Didn't you notice a worn-out movie poster in that subway car?"
"Huh? Have it? β
Nanako's reaction was a little cute, and then she firmly believed in her toilet judgment and retorted, "What can a movie poster say?" None of my public toilets are more convincing! β
Lin You took a sip of coffee and said, "Well, a movie poster really doesn't mean anything, but there is one most important clue!" β
Nanako was curious: "What clue?" β
"Black tentacles!"
Lin You asked, "In the weird journey you experienced last time, did you ever have the kind of black tentacles in the death subway?" β
Nanako shook her head.
Lin You bowed slightly: "Then my guess is not far from ten!" Don't you think those black tentacles are projections of human hands? β
Nanako smiled in disgust: "How can someone's hands be so long and so exaggerated!" β
"That's it!"
Lin You used the flashlight on his mobile phone to shine on his left hand at an oblique angle, only to see a thick and long black hand shadow appear on the table.
Nanako said more seriously: "Those tentacles are not so big!" It's like that kind of long, long black baby hand, okay! β
Lin You raised the mobile phone, the hand shadow shrank a lot, and explained like a teacher: "If the light is close, the hand shadow will appear larger." If you want to see black tentacles about the same size as in the subway, I can project them with props, but they don't have the weird reality and horror effect. β
Nanako reacted at this time: "Oh, I understand! You mean there's a movie poster in the subway, and those black tentacles are like the shadows of the audience raising their hands to block the projection screen when a movie is shown in a movie theater! So with these two points, you feel that the trigger for your next spooky trip is the movie theater! β
"It's not stupid."
Lin You made an objective evaluation, knocked on the table and said, "In addition, there is another place that reveals that the trigger location for the next weird journey is the cinema. β
Nanako became a curious baby again: "What place?" β
Lin You said succinctly: "Time." β
How does time have to do with the cinema?
Nanako wondered if she had suddenly lost her intelligence?
Lin You took another sip of coffee and said, "The mission statement says that this is a one-hour death subway, and it will stop at one stop every ten minutes.
According to the mission description, if you deduct the 10 minutes to the first station, the one-hour subway trip is only five stops at most, and that's not counting the 30 seconds you spend at each station.
Counting all that time, until we arrived at the terminal, I did a rough calculation and we ended up in the Death Metro for about 90 minutes! And the duration of a movie is about 90 minutes under normal circumstances! β
Nanako was dumbfounded: "This can also have something to do with movies?" β
Lin You asked rhetorically: "Why can't you?" β
Nanako complained: "Then I want to say that a person who is constipated can spend 90 minutes on the toilet!" β
"You're a barb!"
Lin You shook his head speechlessly.
"Nani?"
Nanako couldn't understand it, because Lin Yu's sentence was not in Japanese.
"I praise your IQ as if you are constipated!"
Lin You still has to translate, and in order to let the other party understand the meaning he wants to express, the words and sentences can't be too profound.
"What do you mean?"
Nanako always felt that it was cursing, but she couldn't find evidence.
"Doesn't this mean that your IQ is like constipation, and you can't squeeze it out with all your strength to feed?"
Lin You humiliated unceremoniously.
He looked at his watch, it was not early, and he had to hurry to dinner with the customer.
So pick up the coffee, don't give Nanako a chance to come back, and say fatally with one blow:
"It's like we're in a movie in the subway, and the invisible darkness outside the subway is like an auditorium that hides countless pairs of eyes.
If you don't think the movie theater is right, then you can go to the public toilet where you think it's right and read a novel while being constipated! β
