Chapter 255: Two Yan Zhuo
Standing in the dimly lit real-life escape room hall, the boss explained to Zhang Yan and the four of them the theme of escape that they would face next.
They play a theme called "Death Puzzle", where they need to find all kinds of traps in a large room, collect a total of nine corpse pieces, piece together the victim's body, and use the code on the corpse to open the door to the room.
Zhang Yan and the four of them were very interested in the theme of this game with a bit of horror, and after the boss explained some small details and precautions, he sent Zhang Yan and the four into the room blindfolded, and then left alone.
Under an electronic prompt, Zhang Yan and the four of them got the instruction to unhook the blindfold and opened the blindfold one after another.
But what made Zhang Yan feel helpless was that when she opened her eyes, what she saw was actually an information prompt from the reincarnation world-
You have entered the simulated real copy. 】
[In this dungeon, any mechanism you touch will cause real death.] 】
[If you fail to complete the task after the time is up, you will die.] 】
[The number of times that can be rolled back at present: 1.] 】
Unexpectedly, this escape room game, which seems to be the least likely to harm people, actually hides such a tricky link!
The other three colleagues began to move, and Zhang Yan's body began to rummage uncontrollably for clues in the secret room.
At first, it was relatively easy to find clues, and the other three soon found a piece of corpse each.
When Zhang Yan's hand touched the semicircular switch on a certain table, she saw such a choice prompt-
[1, turn left] [2, press] [3, pull up] [4, double click]
Zhang Yan stared at the white semicircular switch, it was slippery, it was a raised hemisphere, and it was impossible to see how it should operate from the outside.
She stared at the flowers in her hemisphere, not sure what to do, and she couldn't find any crevices, scuffs, or scratches......
However, since there are no scratches and abrasions, Zhang Yan can at least be sure of one thing - it is not pressed.
The press type will definitely leave some friction marks on the bottom circle.
So...... According to the several fingerprints left on the hemisphere, Zhang Yan began to carefully observe the texture of the fingerprints.
Finally, upon closer examination, she found that the lower half of the fingerprint was blurred.
The lower half of the fingerprint is blurred, which proves that the power is upward, and the fingerprint is blurred.
Zhang Yan determined her reasoning and chose "3, pull up".
She reached out and pinched the hemisphere with her fingers, then gently lifted it up.
The hemisphere was pulled out of the mechanism, revealing a full white orb.
The white ball was taken out, triggering a weight trap, and a small door opened from the cabinet, and Zhang Yan's trophy rolled out of it, a corpse of an arm.
The other three saw the corpses of plush toys with a relatively fake texture.
And because Zhang Yan entered the simulated real copy, the corpse parts she saw were bloody, the skin was ulcerated, and maggots were wriggling in the rotten holes.
Enduring the disgust in her heart, Zhang Yan's body was uncontrollable, and she automatically grabbed the bloody corpse piece and pieced it together with the three corpse pieces found by others.
At present, they have a total of head, chest, left lower arm, and right calf.
The rest of the few need to be a little more difficult to find, and the four of them got together and studied for a long time, turning the entire secret room upside down, and only found a piece of corpse in the abdomen.
Seeing that the two-hour time limit was still half an hour away, everyone was still four pieces short and couldn't find it.
Zhang Yan was anxious, in fact, she had seen through several mechanisms, but because she couldn't control her body, she couldn't do anything.
Just when there were only twenty minutes left, a prompt appeared in front of Zhang Yan's eyes-
You are given five minutes to explore freely. 】
After this line of words, Zhang Yan suddenly found that she had regained control of her body!
In front of her, the five-minute countdown was beating mercilessly, and Zhang Yan hurriedly began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find the corpse.
The Tao that has been found is: a flashlight, dental floss, a candlestick, seven crystal balls, a vase, and a telephone book.
She snatched the flashlight from the female colleague's hand, pressed the switch twice, and the ordinary flashlight actually switched to the laser mode, and under the irradiation of the laser, there was an extra line of puzzle solving on the wall without any clues.
The puzzle was simple, Zhang Yan quickly calculated a number "6580", and then her hand clicked a few times in the crack of a wall to find a combination lock hidden in the wall.
The password of this combination lock is four digits, and when she wants to enter the four-digit password she just found, the choice information pops up in front of her eyes again-
[1. Enter the password normally] [2. Enter the password upside down] [3. Don't enter the password] [4. Shuffle the order of "1234" and enter the password in the "1324" mode]
Zhang Yan carefully observed the numbers on the combination lock, trying to see the wear and tear from it, but unfortunately, the combination lock was very new, and she couldn't see any flaws.
Isn't this choice a reasoning problem at all?
Then let the premonition of crisis complete this question!
Because the body is free, the multiple-choice questions this time will not lock the time, and the time that Zhang Yan feels is still in a fluid state.
Zhang Yan tried her best to ignore the passage of time, not to put too much pressure on herself, and carefully sensed which of the four options made her feel more in crisis.
But this time I don't know why, it's very unclear, as if I'm playing hide and seek with her.
Under the feeling of emptiness and fluttering, Zhang Yan eliminated the three options of 4, 3, and 1 one by one.
In the end, she chose "2, enter the password backwards" in disbelief.
Typing "6580" upside down and becoming "0856", Zhang Yan nervously pressed the "OK" button.
And a second before pressing the button, Zhang Yan's crisis warning suddenly became clear!
The crisis warning gave goosebumps all over her body, and she realized that she had chosen the wrong one! Wrong!
But it was too late for her to stop her hand.
Pressing the OK button, Zhang Yan heard a series of alarms from the combination lock.
Then, Zhang Yan was blown up by the exploding combination lock and lost consciousness, and her eyes went black.
When she woke up again, a line of information appeared in front of Zhang Yan's eyes-
[The number of rollbacks has been exhausted.] 】
Her premonition of crisis was actually wrong?!
Is the world really exercising her sense of crisis?
Just because she didn't seriously feel the crisis in a hurry just now, she chose the wrong one.
Zhang Yan sorted out the information she had just gotten in the secret room in her mind, and then helplessly carried out the multiple-choice questions one by one.
She left the house safely, boarded the subway safely, safely escaped the gangster attack, safely drank the cold drink, and safely entered the last half hour of the escape room.
This time, when Zhang Yan regained the free control time of her body, she immediately followed the content of the previous serious reasoning along the way, and got several other mechanisms that needed to be reasoned separately.
Slipped the dental floss into the gap between the table drawers, opened the lock of the drawer, and from the drawer, Zhang Yan found the entire right arm.
Pulling out the candles of the candlestick, in the hollow candlestick, there is a small code scanning note, in the mezzanine of the vase, Zhang Yan found a code scanner, after scanning the note, a secret door was automatically opened, inside which the victim's right thigh and right upper arm were placed.
Stepping on the stool, Zhang Yan put seven metal balls on the roof, there is actually an attic on the ordinary roof, which is driven by magnets, and the magnets firmly absorb the seven metal balls, forming the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, the door of the attic was opened, Zhang Yan climbed into the attic and found out the abdomen.
Now, only the lower right arm is missing.
Zhang Yan has now understood the rules of this world.
Problems that can be solved with reasoning skills are not mortal problems.
The topics that require the judgment of crisis premonition are all mortal questions.
Well, she had to feel it seriously.
Now, she already knew that there must be her lower right arm behind the combination lock, and she had a one-in-three chance of survival.
And the remaining time, there are only eight minutes left.
In the state of physical freedom, when the option appears, time is also flowing, and last time I suffered this loss, and there is no way to calm down.
This time, Zhang Yan squatted in front of the combination lock, calmly feeling which option could trigger her sense of crisis.
She forgot the time, stopped being impatient, stopped being superstitious about her reasoning abilities, and seriously gave everything to her intuition.
Zhang Yan felt that she had entered a very mysterious state, everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her, time flowed quietly, and she didn't feel a trace of panic and confusion.
Her erratic instincts began to react.
Without warning, option 1 suddenly gave her a feeling of hair standing on end, which was only for a moment, and quickly disappeared, and she would not have realized it if she was not careful.
And because Zhang Yan was calm enough, she captured this fleeting fluctuation.
After that, it was another moment of intuition fluctuation, and she caught the risk of option 4 again!
Knowing that option 2 would definitely die, Zhang Yan calmly chose option 3-
[3. Do not enter the password]
After choosing, Zhang Yan squatted in front of the combination lock and waited quietly.
This time, she didn't have any apprehension in her heart, because she already knew how to feel and use her intuition, and this time, she trusted her intuition.
After waiting for 30 seconds, the combination lock suddenly lit up with a green light, which automatically opened the door of a safe, and the safe was hidden behind the wallpaper, and the wallpaper was torn directly when the door opened.
Zhang Yan found the last piece of corpse in her lower right arm in the safe.
At the last minute, Zhang Yan and the four of them quickly put the body together, found the longest nine-digit password, entered the password, and opened the door to the room.
Zhang Yan's performance surprised the other three fictional colleagues in the reincarnation world, and they praised Zhang Yan's ability, and then left the real-life escape room shop with satisfaction.
Zhang Yan felt exhausted.
But she still can't let her guard down, because the world will still test her most basic reasoning skills, and she still has to pay attention to all the details that come her way.
After escaping from the escape room, it was time for lunch, and the four of them discussed and decided to go to a well-known restaurant nearby to eat stir-fried food.
In the restaurant, the male colleague named Zhang Ye ordered a dry pot dish, the solid alcohol in the restaurant was probably used up, and it was liquid alcohol, and after igniting, the waiter was clumsy and knocked over the alcohol stove.
And Zhang Yan made the right choice at the critical moment, covered the alcohol stove with a coat, and evacuated in time with three colleagues, so that it was not burned.
After experiencing this danger, the four of them didn't dare to eat in this restaurant, and the four of them reasoned with the boss and asked for mental damages, but the clumsy waiter refused to apologize and sneered, Zhang Yan's female colleague was angry for a while and fought with the waiter.
Several other waiters were also involved, and someone called the police, but they still couldn't stop the dispute between several of them.
During the fight, Zhang Yan used her familiarity with the battle to choose the right option and minimize the losses on her side.
When Option asked her how to end the fight, Zhang Yan also chose the right way in time and quickly ended the farce.
This option also relies on the premonition of crisis, and Zhang Yan's premonition of crisis has become more and more proficient, more sensitive and accurate.
After a few exercises, Zhang Yan found that she seemed to understand for the first time what her premonition of crisis was.
This kind of premonition is like the primitive instinct of a beast, and it needs to be constantly exercised in order to use it more accurately and conveniently.
Now that she has known the tricks of this world, Zhang Yan has never felt anxious again.
Even if she doesn't have a chance to pull back now, she is extraordinarily quiet.
After the farce in the hotel ended, Zhang Yan and her three colleagues separated and took a taxi home.
Of course, the world still has a lot of obstacles for her.
On the way home alone, Zhang Yan encountered robbers, construction site accidents, broken manhole covers, and car loss of control......
These accidents can kill Zhang Yan in minutes, and Zhang Yan relied on her premonition of crisis to avoid these fatal options.
It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when she returned home smoothly, and Zhang Yan still had eight hours of dangerous time to pass.
But Zhang Yan has completely mastered the control method of crisis premonition, and she is more confident, and she is not worried about the danger of the next eight hours.
Let's make the storm more violent!
……
The blood-colored sunset covered Yan Zhuo's handsome face with an ambiguous soft light.
And what didn't match this soft light was the corpse at Yan Zhuo's feet.
The golden spear was stained red with blood, Yan Zhuo smiled calmly, cut through the skin of a human corpse with the tip of the spear, dug out the heart of the corpse, and skillfully hung the still warm heart on a rope.
In this alien tribe he is in, someone will collect corpses for every hunt, and whoever hunts a human with his own hands can dig out the most precious heart as a trophy.
And the more loot, the higher the status in the tribe.
The day's hunt was over, and Yan Zhuo rode the sound of the horn to return, his steps were steady, his smile was gentle, he carried a spear in one hand and dragged five ropes in the other.
Each of the five ropes was five meters long and covered with human hearts, which dragged on the ground, leaving several lines of deep and shallow blood marks.
Yan Zhuo's strength is to use mental power to control others, seize other people's memories and learn the experience in other people's minds.
But that doesn't mean he's weak in hand-to-hand combat.
As a small minion of the combat race in this world, his physical fitness is three times higher than that of humans, and with the fighting skills and combat experience in his mind, he is not afraid to fight with seven or eight ordinary people at the same time.
Of course, only for ordinary people.
He hasn't been able to kill any of the reincarnators yet, and he hasn't really attacked them.
However, Yan Zhuo is not discouraged, anyway, there is no time limit in the multiplayer world, and he can grind with this group of reincarnators infinitely.
As long as none of the reincarnators die, he can afford to wait.
Now, he wants to return to the tribe with these two hundred and thirty-six hearts, and strive to get a few young people of the same clan to be his subordinates.
The group he lived in was a society of the jungle, and whoever had the biggest fist would speak loudly.
For such a bloody society with its own rules, Yan Zhuo is very satisfied.
These rules suit him very well.
……
In another multiplayer world, the puppet Yan Zhuo is adapting to the rules of the game.
The puppet Yan Zhuo wanders around Central Park in the form of a zombie.
This zombie's body is really weak, and the puppet Yan Zhuo is very dissatisfied with his body.
This zombie's body is sluggish and unresponsive, its strength is several times stronger than that of humans, and its brain is not damaged, but his body can't keep up with the speed of his brain at all.
The system prompts him that he is now hungry, and as long as he is replenished with meat, his reaction will no longer be so sluggish, and he will become as flexible as an ordinary person.
But the question is, how is he going to catch the first stupid human?!
With his rotten appearance, ordinary people ran away when they saw him.
He has managed to scare off three dog walkers, four runners, and six walkers.
The most infuriating thing is that his zombie body is very slow because of hunger, and he can't catch up with his prey at all.
Until the puppet Yan Zhuo found another competitor of his kind, he couldn't catch a living person to eat.
Because the zombies in this world are all emotional, and they can simply socialize, the female zombie who also failed to hunt walked towards the puppet Yan Zhuo and wanted to join forces with him to hunt prey.
And after the puppet Yan Zhuo heard the female zombie's proposal, his eyes lit up.
Hunting humans together? Good idea.
But...... The puppet Yan Zhuo didn't want to do that.
He pretended to be happy and accepted the female zombie's proposal, and then when the female zombie turned around, the puppet Yan Zhuo pounced on the female zombie and bit off the female zombie's neck!
The female zombie struggled a few times, and then was bitten by the crazy puppet Yan Zhuo, and the female zombie's aggressive arms were also torn apart by the puppet Yan Zhuo.
The puppet Yan Zhuo wiped the rotten flesh from the corner of his mouth, tore open the chest of the female zombie with force, crushed the heart of the female zombie, and ended the life of the female zombie.
Since he can't catch humans for food, wouldn't it be better for him to hunt and kill his own kind?!
In the chest of the female zombie, the puppet Yan Zhuo found a crystal nucleus.
Swallowing the crystal nucleus, the puppet Yan Zhuo felt that his physical strength had been relieved a little.
He's not so sluggish, and although he's only slightly more agile, it's much better than he's been sluggish.
At his current speed, he still can't catch up with ordinary humans, but he can already hunt down zombies of the same kind.
The puppet Yan Zhuo put the next target on his compatriots.
He hunted his fellow citizens all day, from morning till night.
And because of the outbreak of the end times, there are more and more of his compatriots, and he is more and more experienced in killing lonely zombies.
As the sun set, the whole of Manhattan was already in chaos.
The puppet Yan Zhuo hunted another of his kind, he squatted on the corpse there, skillfully pulled out the crystal nucleus in the corpse, and swallowed it in one gulp.
When a zombie minion? He doesn't have any psychological pressure.
Anyway, no matter what his identity is, he still does the thing of killing zombies.
The zombie setting in this world is not the same as the one Yan Zhuo and they experienced before, all zombies are first-level zombies, and they can have crystal nuclei without eating their own kind.
This group of zombies also has the same feelings as people, and then the combat effectiveness is slightly inferior, and it will not be upgraded, but it will fight in groups, and there is even the concept of family and team.
But the puppet Yan Zhuo betrayed his zombie camp and became a zombie killer who terrified zombies!
Although devouring the zombie crystal nucleus does not allow him to increase his level, it can strengthen his body, although the level of enhancement is very low, but it adds up to a lot.
He had already killed more than 600 of his own compatriots in a single day, and his current level of enhancement was that he could kill four zombies with his bare hands without blinking an eye.
He was still very satisfied with the level of reinforcement.
And the reincarnators have not died yet, he can rest assured that he will continue to strengthen himself until he has enough combat power to face the reincarnators.
The puppet Yan Zhuo didn't feel that he could only consign to the background, he felt that the level of going directly to the battlefield was also very high.
As long as he has enough combat power, he prefers to be a fighter fighting on the front line.
