Chapter 256: Free Exploration Mode
Sitting in front of the computer, Zhang Yan seemed to be leisurely scrolling through the web pages and news.
But in fact, the real Zhang Yan's consciousness was hiding in this shell at this time, quietly observing the entire room with her eyes.
Zhang Yan didn't find anything dangerous from this small one-bedroom apartment.
So she guessed that the danger she would encounter in the next eight hours should still come from outside.
Zhang Yan'an quietly scrolled through the web page for more than an hour, and then it was dinner time.
When Zhang Yan rubbed her stomach and glanced at the kitchen, several options also appeared in front of her eyes-
[1, order takeout] [2, eat cereal] [3, boil porridge] [4, go out to eat]
Zhang Yan secretly pondered whether these options were dangerous.
Ordering takeaway will contact the delivery person, and going out to eat will encounter more uncertainties, and boiling porridge may cause gas explosion.
In the end, Zhang Yan chose the safest "2, eat cereal".
Turning on the hot water from the water dispenser, Zhang Yan poured the cereal into the bowl and waited quietly for the hot water to boil.
Just when Zhang Yan heard that the water in the water dispenser had begun to tumble, the lights in the room suddenly went out with a "pop".
Zhang Yan took the bowl of cereal and walked to the window in confusion.
It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not yet time to turn on the street lights, and most people's homes won't turn on the lights, and Zhang Yan can't tell if other people's homes have a power outage.
Multiple choice questions come up again –
[1. Go out and see the electric switch] [2. Call the property to ask] [3. Turn out the candles and flashlights] [4. Do nothing]
This should be regarded as a reasoning question, Zhang Yan didn't feel any crisis, so she chose "2, call and ask about the property" according to the reasoning question.
As a result, Zhang Yan found out that she had chosen the wrong one.
The phone at the property went through, but no one answered.
When she was on the phone, Zhang Yan had actually been listening to the situation outside the door, and she didn't dare to slack off at all.
She noticed a strange thing: during the two minutes of the call, there was no sound of the neighbor opening and closing the door.
It stands to reason that the current time period is when people have just returned home, and it is the time when electricity consumption is at its peak.
If there is a power outage, even if it is just no internet access, someone will rush out of the house to check on the situation within a minute.
Since the neighbors have not moved, it can only prove one problem - only her house has a power outage!
As soon as this inference was reached, Zhang Yan heard someone knock on the door of her house.
Zhang Yan looked out the door vigilantly.
The knocking continued, but no one said a word.
Four options appeared in front of her again -
[1. Pretend not to be at home] [2. Pretend to be busy] [3. Open the door and ask] [4. Check the cat's eye]
And Zhang Yan can only use the premonition of crisis this time, she keenly captures the sense of crisis, and captures the slightest fluctuation from 1, 2, and 4.
The premonition of this crisis made Zhang Yan wonder.
Why is it that opening the door directly to ask is the least sense of crisis?
Should she trust her instincts, or should she trust common sense?
In the end, Zhang Yan still chose to trust her intuition, gritted her teeth, and chose "3, open the door and ask".
Zhang Yan opened the door through a crack, exposing herself to the door, she frowned and looked at the door, only to see a man in takeaway overalls pointing to his backpack and asking Zhang Yan:
"The takeout you ordered."
Zhang Yan looked dazed:
"I didn't order takeout."
The delivery man took another closer look at the door mark, and then said apologetically:
"Oh, sorry, I found the wrong floor."
After speaking, the delivery man walked to the elevator with a large bag on his back.
Seeing the courier enter the elevator, Zhang Yan felt creepy.
Because she found out that there was a small problem with this courier.
The bag on the delivery man's back is a pure black non-watermark backpack for "Everyday Takeaway", but the courier suit on this courier shows that he is an employee of "Rice Takeaway"!
Zhang Yan has never heard of the two takeaways "Rice No Takeaway" and "Everyday Takeaway" in reality, but today she was hanging out for a day, and she saw a lot of takeaways on the road, and she has observed the difference in the dress of the two takeaways.
The takeaway backpacks of "Everyday Takeaway" and "Rice No Takeaway" look very similar at first glance, but "Rice Takeaway" has reflective strips and hidden reflective watermarks, while "Everyday Takeaway" is just a simple black bag!
So, why is it safer for her to open the door?
After thinking about it, Zhang Yan felt that there was only one possibility - this person was a burglary disguised as a delivery person.
Theft is different from robbery, the theft generally does not harm people's lives, pull the electric switch, confirm that there is someone in the house, he will change the target.
However, if the occupants are hiding in the house, when the two meet, it will arouse the thief's desire to kill, and there is a possibility of excesses.
If Zhang Yan chose to pretend not to be at home just now, the other party might have directly unlocked the lock and entered the house to commit murder.
If she chooses to pretend that she is busy, the other party may not hear her busy voice and will still have the courage to pick the lock.
If she chooses to look at cat's eyes...... It is very likely that Zhang Yan just happened to find that the gangster was also looking at her through the cat's eyes.
After another catastrophe, Zhang Yan jumped out of the option to continue-
[1. Open the electric switch and go home] [2. Call a friend for protection] [3. Call the police] [4. Go downstairs]
Joke!
If all the inferences she made just now were true, and she made the first three moves, she would definitely arouse the suspicion of the gangsters!
According to the dangerous and unreliable nature of this world, it is very likely that the gangsters will return to kill people.
But for the fourth one, you can also disguise yourself as if you just want to go out to eat.
Zhang Yan chose "4, go downstairs", picked up her wallet, and left the house calmly.
Passing by the corner of the stairwell, Zhang Yan actually ran into the delivery man who was suspected of being a gangster again.
Didn't this delivery man take the elevator and leave just now? How can you stand at the top of the stairs?
However, this time, Zhang Yan did not receive any option prompts.
Zhang Yan's body automatically greeted the delivery man, and asked with a smile:
"Went to the wrong floor again? The elevators in this building sometimes break down and stop on the wrong floor. ”
The delivery man smiled and nodded, and the two passed by.
Zhang Yan watched herself walk into the elevator room, and a strong sense of insecurity rose from her heart.
Is this dialogue useless?
No, in Zhang Yan's opinion, this is clearly reminding her of something!
When Zhang Yan watched the elevator door close, her heart sank: as mentioned in the sentence just now, the elevator would break down.
Just when Zhang Yan was thinking so, the elevator fell suddenly, the floor flashed rapidly, and she fell directly from the 22nd floor to the 12th floor!
After falling ten floors in a row, the elevator suddenly pulled back hard again and stopped at the number "12".
Zhang Yan held on to the handrail in the elevator, moved her steps carefully, and hurriedly pressed the door button.
But unfortunately, the elevator was stuck between the 12th and 11th floors, and a half-meter-thick compartment blocked the center of the door, and half of the two floors were exposed in front of Zhang Yan.
The option is also coming -
[1, go to the 12th floor] [2, go to the 11th floor] [3, call the police] [4, call for help on the spot]
It's certainly not a common-sense reasoning question.
According to normal logic, Zhang Yan must choose 3 and then 4 first, and by the way, press the keys on all floors.
But when Zhang Yan's eyes fell on the options of 3 and 4, goosebumps rose all over her body.
Choosing these two can be dangerous.
However, the 1 and 2 options do not have the slightest sense of crisis, and even if Zhang Yan calms down and judges, she can't capture the slightest crisis fluctuation.
She can now only choose the two most dangerous paths in theory, climb up, or jump down.
According to common sense, the elevator may continue to rise or fall, and the chance of being stuck and caught when you go out is still very high.
Whether the elevator will go up or down is unknown.
Jumping down is definitely faster than climbing up, but it's easy to fall into the elevator shaft.
After a few seconds of thinking, Zhang Yan chosen: climb up.
Zhang Yan made a choice, and began to climb up the compartment with her hands and feet neatly and drill to the 12th floor.
Just when half of her body was stuck inside and outside the elevator, the elevator suddenly shook with a "click" and moved!
The elevator fell dozens of centimeters, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to Zhang Yan's waist.
Zhang Yan thought that she would be caught alive like this, but when the top of the elevator was only three centimeters away from her waist, the elevator stopped in time.
Then, the falling elevator suddenly shook and began to rise slowly.
Zhang Yan took the opportunity to climb into the 12th floor, sat down in front of the elevator door, gasping for breath.
If she had chosen to go down just now, she might have been cut in two.
Before she could recover her senses, suddenly, Zhang Yan heard another friction, she saw the rapid change of the elevator number, and then there was a loud noise in the elevator shaft!
The elevator that had just risen up actually broke down again, falling directly from the thirteenth floor to the negative floor!
Judging from the sound, if Zhang Yan was still inside just now, she would definitely die thoroughly.
Since the elevator has gone out with such a big thing, Zhang Yan must have no choice but to take the stairs downstairs.
Walking down the stairs to the first floor, Zhang Yan walked out of the entire building and came to the garden of the community.
At this time, a choice also appeared in front of her-
[1. Enter the free exploration mode] [2. Maintain the answering mode]
This option is asking her if she still wants to follow the plot set by the world.
Zhang Yan was silent.
According to the setting of this world, she has been cheated in various ways from the beginning.
During the day, she encountered electric shocks, falling objects, dog bites, bus arson, subway maniacs, failed escape room killings, group fights, robbers, construction site accidents, missing manhole covers, burglars coming to the door, elevator accidents......
Most people don't have to touch a single thing in their lifetime, and she saved it all in one day.
If you continue to follow the plot, I don't know what else you will be pitted.
Zhang Yan's premonition of crisis also felt that it was more dangerous to follow the plot, so she decisively chose "1. Enter the free exploration mode".
After the selection, Zhang Yan regained control of her body.
A countdown appeared in the sky, indicating that she still had six hours to live.
Six hours.
The question of how to spend the six hours at night is a question of having more to do during the day and much less at night.
Zhang Yan made a rough plan for herself.
In these six hours, she first went to a café to drink coffee for two hours, then went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then went to the regular KTV box to hide for two hours.
After the planning was completed, Zhang Yan began to set off.
This time, she not only has to see and listen to all directions, but also controls her body, finds her own way, and talks to people by herself.
Based on the results observed during the day, Zhang Yan knew that there was a large café across the park.
She strode across the park to the café.
The free exploration mode is also not that easy.
Everything around you has the potential to become something that kills.
Zhang Yan had not walked a few steps in the park when she tripped over a raised pebble on the road, and when she fell, she saw a broken, sharp branch directly opposite her head.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan is flexible and agile, and she can quickly adjust her body movements after falling.
Zhang Yan, who would have fallen to the ground on her stomach, changed her posture to a kneeling position after adjusting her posture, and her hands were propped up on both sides of the broken branches.
After stabilizing her posture, Zhang Yan's eyes were only a few centimeters away from the branch.
Zhang Yan was just about to get up, but the child who was playing football nearby kicked the football to Zhang Yan's ass and pushed her a few centimeters in the direction of the branch!
The eyeball is only a few millimeters away from the broken branch.
Zhang Yan was afraid that there would be other dangers, so she hurriedly rolled on her side and rolled into the grass next to her.
After rolling into the grass, Zhang Yan was unlucky and rolled onto a bubble of dog shit.
Her tracksuit jacket was stained with dog poop and smelled foul.
Zhang Yan took off her coat and only wore short sleeves, the spring night was still a little cold, and Zhang Yan felt a little cool.
There was a spurt of water from the music fountain next to it, and Zhang Yan looked at the water, and always felt as if it was specially prepared for herself and asked her to clean the shit.
And Zhang Yan didn't want to wash off the shit at all, she rolled up the shit-stained coat and threw it into the trash, turned around and left.
And a few seconds after she left, a child went to play with the water, and only to hear a scream, the child cried "electricity" and ran away.
Musical fountain leakage.
Zhang Yan can be sure that it was because it was a passer-by who was electrocuted that the child was not electrocuted, and if she had passed, she would have been electrocuted directly.
She continued to walk silently.
Along the way, she dodged the middle-aged man who practiced the nine-section whip, two young men with slingshots to hit trees, and a collapsed billboard.
Maybe it was because she was used to disasters wherever she went, Zhang Yan looked at everything indifferently, as if the things that could kill her had nothing to do with her.
When passing by a small stall in a dark corner, Zhang Yan found that this was a young man who secretly sold knives, and her premonition of crisis did not react to the stall owner, so she bought a good imitation of cold steel 26S on the stall for 50 yuan, put the folding knife in her pocket, and then walked to the café with confidence.
But just when she wanted to cross the road and wait for the green light, a runaway bus suddenly crashed into her!
With her agile style, Zhang Yan hurriedly rushed to a green belt more than 30 centimeters deep next to her and lay down close to the ground.
The runaway bus flew past her scalp and rushed down the fence of the green belt, without hurting half of Zhang Yan's hair.
Zhang Yan calmly got up, dusted off the soil on her body, turned around and continued walking.
She had already made a plan, she wouldn't change it, she said she was going to the café, she was going to the café.
Taking advantage of the green light, Zhang Yan quickly crossed the road and came to the café across the road.
After ordering a cup of black coffee, Zhang Yan sat in the corner and drank black coffee as unpleasant as Chinese herbal soup, planning to use this cup of coffee to refresh herself and support herself through this night.
The music in the café was soothing, the atmosphere was quiet, Zhang Yan was sipping black coffee, and her eyes were always checking in the café.
Zhang Yan drank a cup of coffee for more than half an hour, and there was no danger during the period.
But Zhang Yan has not let her guard down.
The table knives at the next table, the sound of various machines at the bar, and the woman sitting in the corner crying...... Everything made Zhang Yan feel dangerous.
After a while, the woman who was crying got up to settle the bill, and Zhang Yan withdrew her surveillance gaze and ruled out the woman's danger.
Just when Zhang Yan had just relaxed her vigilance against the woman, she heard a sudden "creak" from the metal grid ceiling above her head, and the sound was very small.
Zhang Yan immediately felt that something was wrong, her body shrank, and the whole person got under the sturdy solid wood table.
As soon as she got under the table, the metal grid ceiling fell apart and fell from the ceiling, just smashing on Zhang Yan's desktop!
The dust was thick and the guests exclaimed.
The waiter at the café came over in horror to help Zhang Yan remove the metal mesh weighing more than ten catties, and asked Zhang Yan if she was injured.
Zhang Yan probed to check whether the other ceilings would be loose, and at the same time handed the waiter a bill from under the table:
"Checkout."
She couldn't stay at this café, so she had to leave early.
If you stay in the same place for too long, the next step will only get more and more difficult.
It's better to change places and experience some minor dangers again.
Leaving the café in a hurry, Zhang Yan still had four and a half hours left to spend.
According to the previous plan, Zhang Yan still walked along the sidewalk to a nearby movie theater, bought a ticket for the nearest time in the movie theater, and Zhang Yan began to wait for admission.
She didn't dare to buy popcorn and Coke for fear she would choke or choke to death.
The movie still has ten minutes to start, and there is nothing to do, Zhang Yan walked to the crane machine, exchanged coins and began to clip the doll to consume time.
The clamp of the crane machine was set very loosely, and Zhang Yan couldn't catch one of them even after clamping it dozens of times.
Finally, a rabbit was caught by Zhang Yan and fell into the exit with a shaking.
As soon as the doll fell, Zhang Yan felt that the crane machine was shaking for some reason, Zhang Yan should have squatted to pick up the doll in the clip, but her premonition of crisis made her instinctively jump to the left, and escaped two meters away in the blink of an eye.
The next second she jumped out, the crane machine that was still standing there just now suddenly overturned and almost smashed on Zhang Yan!
The staff of the cinema came to check Zhang Yan's situation, and someone adjusted the monitoring to see if Zhang Yan deliberately sabotage, and after tossing for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yan was released.
Being so suspicious and interrogated by them, Zhang Yan felt very relaxed, at least, it could consume time and not cause danger to her life.
The movie has already started, Zhang Yan checked in and found her seat in the dark.
There's no danger in watching a movie, right?
Zhang Yan really couldn't think of what risks would be encountered when watching a movie, and looked up to see that this movie theater also had no ceiling.
However, maybe the plot of the movie will also become a reality?
Zhang Yan vigilantly stared at the plot of the romance in the movie and fell into deep thought......
Fortunately, this time it was safer, and Zhang Yan didn't wait for any danger until the end was near.
At the end, the feelings of the hero and heroine were sublimated, the two kissed together, romantic music also sounded, and many audience members in the screening room yawned and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Zhang Yan suddenly smelled a burnt smell in the movie theater.
I don't know who lit a fire at the only entrance and exit of the movie theater, and the flames ignited the carpet, and the fire quickly spread along the carpet to the screening room!
The crowd was frightened, and Zhang Yan groped in the dark movie theater to find the fire extinguisher, calmly turned on the fire extinguisher, and held her breath to extinguish the fire.
The flames were still small, and Zhang Yan took action to stop the development of the fire in time.
But the burning pungent gas still filled the entire screening room, choking people from opening their eyes.
With a piece of ash in her nose, Zhang Yan and the other audience members quickly evacuated and left the screening room.
Now, Zhang Yan has two hours left to pass.
According to her plan, Zhang Yan washed her face and went to the KTV next to the movie theater.
ordered a small box, and Zhang Yan followed the waiter into the small box.
She has no interest in singing, she is simply here to kill time, so she doesn't plan to touch it, so she asks the waiter to set up an automatic listening mode for herself.
The waiter seemed to have seen all kinds of people, and he didn't think Zhang Yan was weird, so he left the box after getting everything for Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan thought she could stay up at least half an hour in this KTV, right?
But what she didn't expect was that before she could finish listening to a song, there was a sound of fighting in the hallway!
The sound of messy footsteps was accompanied by screams and swearing, and those chaotic sounds were getting closer and closer to her box!
Then, the men stopped at the door of her box and began to curse.
Zhang Yan felt bad, and quickly got up to lock the door.
But before she could touch the lock, her door was slammed open by a man.
The two middle-aged men were like crazy, hugging each other and pulling, wrestling with each other awkwardly, and rolled in front of Zhang Yan in the blink of an eye.
The box is very small, and the two of them are so in the way that Zhang Yan can't leave the box at all.
She could only stand in the innermost, across a coffee table, indifferently watching two middle-aged men fight.
From the moment the two of them entered her box, Zhang Yan smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
After a while, they decided the winner, one of the balding middle-aged men won, and the other was beaten and fainted.
This victorious drunk man seemed to be in a state of war, and when he saw Zhang Yan staring at them all the time, he didn't know where his temper came from, so he pointed at Zhang Yan and scolded:
"Little girl, what are you watching?! Be careful that I fight you together! ”
Saying that, the middle-aged man was still ruthless towards Zhang Yan, and waved his fist, making a gesture that he really wanted to hit Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan frowned, she didn't care so much, she directly took out the knife she bought in the park and stabbed it into the thigh of the man in front of her.
Seeing Zhang Yan so fierce, this troublesome drunk man was stunned, crying and shouting to call the police, threatening her not to run around.
Seeing the blood, the troublemakers were cowardly, which Zhang Yan did not expect.
She thought she was going to fight this time with this drunk.
As a result, this person immediately dragged one leg and ran away, and asked his relatives and friends to block the door to prevent Zhang Yan from going out, and then called the police.
Zhang Yan didn't bother to care so much.
She sat on the sofa in the box and took a sip of mineral water.
Call the police, call the police.
What better place to be safer than a police station?
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the police arrived and took Zhang Yan and the accomplices of the drunken man who made trouble into the police car, and the drunk who was stabbed by Zhang Yan was sent to the hospital.
Zhang Yan was very calm all the way.
There's no more danger with the police, right?
And just when Zhang Yan was sitting in the police car and comforting herself like this, a loud explosion suddenly came from the front!
The air wave of the explosion shook the police car, and the light of the explosion also made Zhang Yan's eyes narrow.
Covering her buzzing ears, Zhang Yan looked indifferent.
Seemingly...... It's also not safe to follow the police.
There was still an hour and ten minutes, and she still had to grit her teeth and persevere.
……
