Chapter 177: Escape Room (6)
I finally realized the seriousness of the matter, the dirty environment is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is the injury, my hand must be bleeding, the wound is stained with these filth, it will definitely be infected, I must get out as soon as possible, the treatment is early and maybe there will be salvation.
I didn't expect the biggest threat here, it was unbearable enough to dig without entering the sewage, and now it is a problem to dig with peace of mind, and these prickly things are the biggest obstacle.
I stood up, hesitated and took off my underwear, tearing it in half and wrapping it around my hand, I didn't dare to wrap it too thickly, I might miss the key if I didn't feel sensitive to the touch, and if it was too thin, it would be pricked, so I could only find a suitable critical point.
I didn't expect this room to be the biggest difficulty, I really underestimated it, I took a breath again, quickly sank down and dug several times, the surprise came too suddenly, I touched a key.
I stood up, stunned for a few seconds, my heart was filled with ecstasy, I didn't expect that this time I was like a divine help, and I actually found the right place at once!
I was ecstatic, and strode against the wall towards the small door, and I felt the keyhole, and I raised my hand to insert it, but I couldn't get it in.
I couldn't see anything in the dark, and it was normal that I couldn't plug it in for a while, I carefully touched the lock hole, but it still couldn't be inserted, and I flipped the key over again, and it still didn't work.
What's going on?
I was a little anxious, I touched the keyhole, and then I touched the key, and I could feel that the key was significantly larger than the keyhole.
My heart was half chilled at once, how happy I had been before, how desperate I was now, I underestimated the difficulty of this room, and it was greatly underestimated, it not only caused me many difficulties, but even the keys were confused.
How many keys will be hidden in the mud here? Where is the real one? The room was small, but I was more desperate than ever, and it was simply impossible.
I slapped the surface of the water hard, depressed for a long time or returned to my position and half-squatted, the cold water soaked my whole body, I will not die of thirst, more likely to freeze to death first.
I cursed and dug in the mud, and soon I dug up another key, which seemed to be about the same size, but I lost my excitement and limped to the door to try it.
Sure enough, no, I was about to throw the key into the water, and then I realized that if I threw it away while digging, wouldn't it be endless.
I quickly retracted my hand and stuffed it into my trouser pocket like a baby, the previous one had long been thrown by me somewhere, but fortunately I noticed it early, and if I found it later, I don't know how to regret it.
There was everything in the mud, even tiny pieces of broken glass, and I felt a lot of clumps of floating things, which seemed to be long hair, and I squatted down again and again, and stood up again and again, and I had already touched seven or eight keys, and none of them could open the door.
My left leg was already numb, I don't know if it was tired or blistered in cold water, and the injury on my right foot became more and more painful, it seemed to be swollen by the soak, I began to feel dizzy, and I almost fell into the water several times, and my feet fluttered like stepping on cotton.
I raised my hand and touched my forehead, it didn't seem to be hot, I really wanted to find a place to sit down and rest, but as long as I sat down, I would sink into the water, and I didn't even have a chance to rest.
The difficulty is getting higher and higher, I used to feel lucky, but now I miss the last room, no matter how disgusting it is, I can sit down and rest, this place is like an airtight water prison, let my body and mind rot here.
I was really a little overwhelmed, and the speed of movement was getting slower and slower, and every time I squatted down and stood up, it took several times as much strength, and I was very hungry and thirsty, and I had long been accustomed to one meal a day, and this hunger had not been present for a long time, which meant that I had been here for more than twenty-four hours.
Ah Qing, they can't wait for me outside all the time, and if they don't let me out, they really won't let me go, I didn't expect that I had experienced so many difficulties and would be dragged down by an exam.
I leaned against the wall, unaware of my body slipping into the water, until the sewage overflowed my mouth and I came to my senses.
I almost fell asleep, I struggled to get up, my spirit worsened, I started to get scared, I realized that I might actually die here.
The hunger had receded, I sank into the water, digging into the mud under my feet like crazy, I gave up on using my clothes for protection, it made my touch less sensitive, my movements slowed down a lot, I needed to rest now, whatever was behind that little door, I had to rest inside, my body couldn't support me to continue.
Sharp debris streaked across my hands, tingling pains between palms and fingers, I could feel them bleeding, but I didn't care anymore, I would only die here instead of dying of infection.
Another key, I wanted to go over and try it, but I could barely get up from the water, I dug along the wall, and now I was in the middle of the room, and I had no support, and it was so difficult to even get up.
I tried to stand up on crutches, but my arms were so sore, I felt like I was about to faint, I couldn't hold my breath, the sewage suddenly sucked into my nostrils, I came to my senses, sneezed, and stood up violently.
It was a feeling that was worse than death, not even when I fell off a cliff in the tomb, and I staggered to the small door, and sure enough, the key was still wrong.
My trouser pockets were already bulging, and I leaned against the little door and looked up into the darkness, how cruel they were to arrange such a room when I was most tired and hungry, and their purpose was to keep me from resting, or going out or dying.
This is the real exam, and what I want to challenge is my own limit, which is in all aspects, both physical and psychological.
The wound on my hand began to hurt again, I took my hand out of the sewage, and when I came into contact with the air, the pain became worse and worse, and I could feel the uneven wounds and dead skin on my palm, and the wound had already been soaked in the sewage and swollen, and if I could see it, it would definitely scare me.
The blood seemed to be gone, and I couldn't tell the difference between the wet hands and my hands, and I clenched my fists like grasping a cactus ball with my bare hands, and pierced my mind very clearly.
My mind is full of people I used to know, and the one I think about the most is my father, has he been through the same exams as me before, and has also struggled in darkness and despair?
When I think of my father, I have the fighting spirit again, this is the path I have chosen, I still remember the ambition when I made the decision, I was to break the blood curse, so that my father would not have to worry about me in the other world, now it is just a little difficult, how can I give up.
A is still on my wrist, it doesn't seem to be afraid of the sewage at all, it is soaked in water all the time, it doesn't need to breathe, I always feel like I've grabbed something.
I remembered, when I was in Taixing, it was A who entered the coffin and took out the jade, and it was following Ah Chuan's instructions, so wouldn't I be able to rely on A to find the key?
I felt numb all over my body, and I stood up straight in an instant, how could I forget this stubble, I had been stupidly groping by myself, completely forgetting the existence of A.
My mind was very clear, and I quickly gave A instructions to find the key, but it didn't move, and I was beaten back to the bottom of the valley from the top of the mountain, and I gave another order, but it still didn't move.
Why is this happening?
I'm confused, I tried to use the armor here once, but at that time, it was because the hanging corpse was dead, it didn't react, it's different to find the key, I've seen Ah Chuan use it with my own eyes, which means that it has this ability, why can't I?
It's true that I haven't practiced before, but the use of A is very simple, you just need to calm down and give orders, and if it is disobedient, it means that I must have done something wrong.
I can't think of anything wrong, it seems that there is no way to solve it here except to go out and ask Ah Chuan, there seems to be a fire burning in my heart, if the purpose of the exam is really to exercise my limit, using a nail is like cheating, they are to avoid, didn't they teach me?
That's really a strict guard, these people's thinking is so meticulous that it's terrifying, I held my breath and began to explore again, I now think that these are useless, only when I go out, can I know the result.
At first, there was a dull pain in my hand, but later it was gone, and the nerves in the wound seemed to be dead, so there was no pain, but it made me feel much more relaxed.
One key, another key, I tried again and again, but none of them matched, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was no right key here at all, or if my hands were so shaky that even if I found the right one, I couldn't insert it in.
My trouser pockets were full of keys, and the groping range was getting closer to the center of the room, and there was not much mud left for me to fumble with, and I was unlucky enough to touch it until the end.
I touched a few more, but none of them, I could feel only a small patch of mud in the center of the room, and I suddenly became annoyed, in the darkness, I would definitely prioritize exploring the place near the wall, did they take advantage of my mentality, and deliberately hid the key in the center?
If that's the case, then I'm a big fool, I'm too much of a failure, obviously after practicing for so long, I will still fall into the trap, I'm like a student who does math multiple-choice questions, I don't know how to solve the problem at all, I can only substitute the options one by one to try.
The last little piece of mud was also tested by me, and there were two keys inside, and I trembled with them to the little door, these were the last two, and there was always one that was right.
I really touched the end, I can't tell what mood it is, I didn't complain anymore, now as long as I can get out, all the previous efforts have passed.
This one wasn't, the other wasn't, I stared wide in the dark, and tried a few more times, but they wouldn't fit into the keyhole at all.
