Chapter 10: Escape Room I
In the early morning of January 1st, I got up, stood on the balcony and looked down, and sure enough, as Gu Nanxing said, I couldn't find the paper airplane released late last night during the day, maybe it was really taken away by the gods. Suddenly a beautiful picture appeared in my head: countless chubby little angels sitting on white clouds, disassembling paper airplanes one by one, and then helping everyone fulfill their wishes. My fantasy was interrupted by the sound of my mother calling me to breakfast, the hot porridge, boiled with red dates, fragrant, and next to it was an omelette, fried crispy on the side.
Then came a call from Lin Chuanjin, she told me a happy new year, it sounded very good, I could guess that she must be smiling on the other end of the phone, chatting casually for a while, Lin Chuanjin suddenly said mysteriously: "I heard that the escape room shop on South Street is half price." "South Street ......" I thought for a while, and then I remembered that I did open one not long ago, and it was very popular, but I hadn't been there, but it was a fun event, so I laughed softly and said, "If you want to go, we'll go."
"But I'm afraid we can't do it either." Lin Chuanjin on the other end of the phone sighed, and then suddenly said happily: "Let's call a few classmates to go together." ”
"Okay, who's your name?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Chuanjin was silent for a while, and replied, "Just Shen Sirui and Gu Nanxing." ”
"And your Jingming?"
"He shouldn't be able to get out." Lin Chuanjin didn't sound particularly disappointed, and then said: "Then I'll call Shen Sirui, and you go to call Gu Nanxing?" ”
"Ah, I'll try."
After hanging up the phone, I fell into an inexplicable entanglement, I wanted to call Gu Nanxing, if I was rejected, it was estimated that I would be embarrassed by the invincible, but since I promised Lin Chuanjin, I still opened the conversation box hard.
Gu Nanxing, do you want to hang out together? Escape Room is awesome!
Ah, it seems too enthusiastic, it looks like I'm like an advertisement, and again, I deleted those words.
Lin Chuanjin said that she wanted to play escape room, but there were not enough people, so do you want to come along?
Uh, it seems like I'm nervous, and I moved Lin Chuanjin out, it's too cowardly, I want to be ridiculed, and I deleted it again.
Happy New Year, are you going out to play?
Ah, this still seems weird, but my mother pushed the door in, and I was shocked.
"Going out to play?" Mom asked while laughing and taking the dirty coat I brought back from school to the washing machine.
I nodded, my mother didn't say anything, just told me to come back early and pay attention to safety, and finally helped me close the door of the room, saying, "You should go out to have fun, and go out with Chuan Jin to rest assured." ”
When I picked up the phone again, I found that the message had been sent, I sighed, and at this time, Gu Nanxing's reply came: "Okay, where are you going?"
"Escape room? Go? ”
"Go, where?"
In my opinion, Gu Nanxing's words seem to shine, and I am in a good mood. At the same time, Lin Chuanjin also sent me a sentence: "It's done." ”
The excitement of going out quickly defeated the cold, I casually put on a thick long sweater, and put on a fat black down jacket, and the pants were also thick, and when I looked at my glasses, I realized that I was round and round, if it weren't for the smooth outside of the down jacket, I would have lived like a big black bear.
I was in distress again.
I dug into the closet, managed to pull out a pair of leggings that weren't so rustic, and put them on right away. Then I realized that it wouldn't be as ugly if I only wore that thick sweater without a down jacket, so I took off my down jacket and put it on the bed. I walked out of the room by chance, but was blasted back the next second.
"Wear a down jacket, or you'll catch a cold!"
Alas, okay, it looks like I can't get rid of this down jacket.
When I went out, I found out that my mother's decision was wise, the wind was very strong, and the small ponds in the community were frozen, and it was really cold.
When I arrived at the agreed place, I saw another person wearing a thick black down jacket, he was standing at the door of the store, wearing a hat and scarf, wrapped tightly, I walked over, only to find that it was Gu Nanxing, we glanced at each other, and smiled helplessly. It didn't take long for Shen Sirui to arrive, but Lin Chuanjin, who was the organizer, was the last to arrive.
We went up a narrow staircase, the second floor was a café, and the third floor was the escape room. As soon as you enter the door, there are many, many post-it notes on the wall, colorful and colorful, all of which are messages from people who have come to play.
The owner was a girl about 20 years old, and there was a girl about the same age next to her, who was playing with her mobile phone and didn't look up.
The owner let us choose between four themes: War, Hospital, Murder House, and School. I originally wanted to choose the murder house, but unfortunately someone was playing that theme and we needed to line up, and finally the four of us discussed it for a long time and decided on the hospital, and the shopkeeper briefly explained the rules while leading us inside.
I thought it would be a small room, but it was a big place, and as soon as we entered, the owner closed the door, but the surroundings were very bright, and there was no dark feeling like a haunted house, so I became bolder.
Suddenly, I heard several screams, probably the ones who were playing the theme of the murderous house were being frightened, Gu Nanxing and I glanced at each other, and whispered in my ear, "Don't be like that later." I only felt the heat in my ears, and my face suddenly turned red, but I said unconvinced: "I won't!" Gu Nanxing smiled lowly, alas, even if I have no ambition, but I must admit that it sounds good.
Looking around, we seem to be in a simple office, the kind of office where doctors see patients, a desk, which looks quite old, with a lot of scratches, in stark contrast to the not worn out computer on it, the computer screen is on, but it is the interface for entering the password, and the password should be here to find clues. The chair in the back is also very worn, probably because the people who came here to play before didn't think about sitting on this chair, and there is dust on it. Next to it was a white curtain, half-open and half-closed, and you could see a white hospital bed inside, and the infusion stand stood at the end of the bed. There is a picture hanging on the wall of a middle-aged man, smiling.
"You say, will there be a person lying there?" Shen Sirui's words made the terrifying atmosphere even higher, he pointed to the white hospital bed, Lin Chuanjin grabbed my hand tightly, and his hand was very cold. I looked back at Gu Nanxing, who was staring at the photo on the wall, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
