Chapter 172: Escape Room (1)

"Have you ever played an escape room?" Ah Chuan suddenly spoke.

I shook my head: "No, I've only seen it on TV." ”

"Then you can play today, but this is different from an ordinary escape room, you don't need to solve the puzzle, you just need to find the key, there is a key in every room, rest assured, there will be no mechanism, it is hidden in a place that can be reached as long as you grope around, isn't it very simple?"

I was stunned: "This is the exam?" ”

"That's right," Ah Chuan nodded, and casually took the crutches from Ah Qing's hand, "There may be a very narrow place inside, you can't use a wheelchair, you have to use this." ”

"There's really no danger inside?"

I took my crutches, stood up and walked a few steps, and I felt fine, much easier to move around than in a wheelchair.

"Next time, don't ask this kind of boring nonsense, I said I didn't believe you? I said yes, what else can you do but be scared? ”

Ah Chuan said, making a look at Ah Qing, Ah Qing stepped forward and opened the door, and I saw that it was a two-square-meter hut with two doors in the house.

Ah Chuan pointed to the one on the left: "You need to go in from here, come out from the right, the door can't be opened after it is unlocked and closed, so there is no turning back, don't try to be clever, it will automatically close after you walk over, you can only move forward, huh...... Also, it's impossible to quit in the middle, and there is only one key, so get out before you die of thirst. ”

"Die of thirst?" I was shocked, "How big is it in there?" ”

Ah Chuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's big or big, it's small and small, it's up to you." ”

I still want to ask again, but Ah Chuan showed an impatient look, Ah Qing could only smile helplessly, stepped forward and opened the door on the left, the door was very dark, I didn't see anything and was pushed in by Ah Chuan, "click", the door was closed.

I was almost pushed down by Achuan, and when I hit my body to the left, I hit the hard wall, and I stood up straight with my cane, standing by the door in a daze, not knowing what to do.

It was so dark that I couldn't even see it when I put my hand in front of me, and the air had a faint smell of dampness, it was very quiet, and there was not a sound except for my breathing and heartbeat.

Standing upright like this, it was like being in an infinite space, and I was at a loss for myself, and I raised my hand to the left and touched the wall I had just hit.

I leaned over to the wall, and it seemed like there was nothing here, just an empty house, where would the keys be?

I just had to fumble for it, and I had nothing to touch but the wall now, and I raised my hand and scratched it on the wall, and right above my chest, I felt some depressions.

I opened my palm and touched it again, and it was indeed indentated, there were six rows from top to bottom, and it was a small round hole, slightly wider than my index finger, and could only fit into one finger, and the interval between the holes was about the width of a fingertip.

What does that mean?

I raised my arm again and felt over the little holes, which were just smooth walls and down as well, and they were opened in easy reach, without having to tiptoe or crouch.

I understood that the key must be hidden in a certain hole, which is actually a very simple thing, just troublesome, I don't know where it is, I can only touch these holes one by one.

It was so much trouble that I didn't touch it, but groped the whole room along the walls, and I wanted to see how big it was.

The truth is desperate, it was a long and narrow room, I walked more than twenty steps to the end, I touched the door and the keyhole at the end, the keyhole is very small, which means that the key is also very small, it seems that the key is indeed hidden in that small hole.

I touched the wall on the right and came back, and there were six rows of small holes at the same height as the left, and there were so many holes that I had to touch them one by one, and I don't know what year or month I could touch.

There is no light, no sound, just being depressed is enough to drive people crazy, not to mention being tempted again and again, this room is like fishing, and it is my patience that is tested.

I don't feel heavy in my heart, I'm not afraid of trouble, no danger is the best environment for me, it's just a temptation again and again, who is afraid of whom?

I went back to the left and put my index finger into the hole from top to bottom, it was not deep, only half a finger long, and if there was a key, it was easy to touch.

I calmed down and counted the columns as I reached into my fingers one by one, but I kept it simple, and when my index finger reached into the hole in the third column of the second row, I touched something soft.

It was alive, squirming under my hands, I was defenseless, and the force of insertion was not small, only a slight "poof" was heard, and it was poked by me, and I felt the thick juice stain my fingers.

I was startled, retracted my hand like an electric shock, and subconsciously rubbed my finger against the wall, and the feeling of that moment was still in my mind, soft, squirming touch, and I felt goosebumps pop up on my body suddenly.

I couldn't help but stick my finger under my nose, it was the strange smell of bugs, a worm that was not the slightest bit aggressive, and its defenses were pitifully weak, and its only characteristic was disgusting.

The Mo family is really perverted!

I was so disgusted that I didn't want to put my finger in again, so I rubbed my index finger again and again, and the worm was gone, but the smell was still there.

This strange smell makes me unconsciously think of the ghost spider, the huge Gu worm is also soft, and the taste is very similar, I don't dare to think about it anymore, I originally thought that this room was very clean, but now as long as I think that there may be countless insects in the small holes around, I feel sick for a while.

I put down my hand and began to think about the possibility of finding the key, since some have bugs and some don't, it means that bugs are a reminder, with the urine nature of the Mo family, it is more likely that the key is placed in a hole with bugs, these bugs almost fill the entire hole, and if you want to take out the key, you have to poke them one by one.

I feel like I'm going crazy when I think about it, where is this exam, it's a punishment at all, and it won't work to just find a hole with bugs, it's so dark here that you can't see anything, and if you want to know which one has bugs, you have to reach out and probe.

I felt like I was going to collapse, this was only the first room, I couldn't imagine how hard it was without experiencing it myself, and there was nothing I could do except stretch out my fingers, and my armor couldn't get in.

I don't know how long I stood there, my left foot started to get sore, I hated the thought that the wall was full of bugs, I was disgusted to even rest on it, time was passing little by little, I listened to my own heartbeat and began to panic, I don't know how many rooms there are in the back, I don't have time to waste here.

Do you still have to explore them one by one?

I hesitated for a while, then stretched out my finger again, after all, I had already touched a hand of insect fluid, as long as I crossed the hurdle in my heart, nothing else was a problem.

The problem is that it's really hard for me to get through, I probed six more columns, and poked two worms to death, and I didn't even bother to wipe off the worms, but they still got on it, and I couldn't waste my time.

There are so many holes here, if I tried them all, I would have died of thirst, what is the meaning of this test? Overcoming Psychological Barriers and Exercising Patience?

It shouldn't be that simple, but I couldn't think of it, so I had to try it one by one, and I put my finger in it as I thought, and it would be nice if I could find the key before I could figure out what to do.

After a lot of times, I also developed resistance to these bugs, I was in a race against time, and soon I didn't even want to think about countermeasures, I had already tried a hundred columns, six hundred holes.

I couldn't count the time, I just knew it was a long time, but I had only advanced a few meters, and I was going crazy to explore all the holes on both sides.

I stopped, and one finger was still in the hole, and I couldn't tell with my eyes, I could only use my fingers to determine where I had reached, and I began to think back to the hole I had just explored, and there were bugs, and there were no bugs, they didn't seem to have a pattern.

I don't remember exactly, so I hesitated and continued to explore, just use my fingers to remember where I was looking, counting was redundant.

I changed my approach and started to memorize the numbers that appeared in the bugs, hoping to find some kind of pattern, but after trying dozens of columns, it started to get confused, and there was no pattern to follow.

I was really desperate, and suddenly remembered what Ah Chuan said, I don't need to solve the puzzle, and I don't have a mechanism.

My heart was half cold, and I didn't react until now, how can things be so complicated, he said that if there is no, there must be none, this is just to test my patience, I actually thought so much.

I cleared my mind and began to explore the cave mechanically, and I poked worm after worm, and I didn't feel sick anymore, the worm formed a hard shell on my fingers, and the outside was sticky, and it seemed that when pulled out of the hole, it would pull out the silk.

My left foot was very sore, and I could only move a little against the wall, even if the insect fluid that flowed out of it rubbed against my clothes, I was not afraid of it, but this simple temptation made me a lot faster, and I had already explored the left half of the wall.

No, or no, I couldn't help but wonder if the keys were in these holes at all, no one told me the keys were inside, it was just a matter of assumption.

My movements stopped, and my heart tightened, could this really be just a trick, I often do this kind of stupid thing that I take for granted, could the Mo family just use my psychology to make me do some useless work?

I quickly gave up on this idea, anyway, there is no way but to continue now, my suspicions are unfounded, and I will practice them when I really finish these holes, if I give up now, I will not be sure where I will go.

I don't know how long it took, I probed all the holes in the left half of the wall, and I didn't despair without the key, I thought it was impossible to explore all these holes, but half of them were completed before I knew it, and it didn't seem difficult to think about it.
