Cui Li took down the oil painting hanging on the wall, and the expressions of everyone present suddenly became solemn. There are no panic buttons on the wall. Just wrote a sentence: When you see it, it is already there.
"What does this mean? Tease us? Zhang Han said angrily.
"Are you telling us that Tyrannosaurus rex has existed for a long time?" Cui Li's associative ability is also different from ordinary people.
"When you see it, it's already there?" Lin Yun repeated the words on the wall while thinking.
Instead of looking for the panic button, everyone began to speculate about what the words on the wall meant.
"Forget it, maybe it's just a boring joke, or maybe it's a test set before, but now we don't have the heart to care about any tests, our first task now is to get out of here!" Xia Cheng said as he put the rest of the food in the refrigerator. "There's enough food here for three days, and even if there is no panic button, AEF people will come looking for us. I don't think there are too many rest areas, and they will always find us. ”
Xia Cheng is actually right, we just need to wait here for the AEF people to come to us, it is possible that they are already looking for us.
"Anyway, there should be enough food here for us to stay for many days. They will find us. Li Ruina's words gave us more confidence.
"My feet, can any of you hang this useless painting back on me? I can't even walk! Zhang Han accidentally kicked the oil painting that Cui Li put on the ground.
"I'll just put it back." Cui Li stepped on the chair again and put the oil painting back in its place. The painting just put it back. My head hurts again.
I looked at the oil painting that I put back. Suddenly I looked up at the ceiling again, wait, wait, wait. My mind was spinning.
"I see, I know where the panic button is!!" My voice startled everyone.
"You know where it is?" Cui Li stood in a chair and looked at me.
"Don't you think it's strange? When we first looked at this painting, we always thought there was nothing wrong. No one cares about the sun's rays. ”
"yes, I didn't see it. I think it's a good fit. Cui Li told the truth.
"That's right, I didn't think it was strange at first, and the reason was the -------------- overhead light!!" I pointed to the ceiling lamp on the ceiling and continued, "The ceiling lamp is on the left side of the painting, so it wouldn't be strange to see the brightness on the left side from a distance. The light from the overhead lamp made me lose sight of the position of the sun on the painting. However, if you look closely, you will find that this oil painting is not reasonable. ”
"What does that have to do with the panic button, and where the hell is the button?" Zhao Yuyu was eager to know the answer.
"Zhao Yuyu, do you remember how you found this rest area?" I looked at her and asked.
"How did you find it, it's very simple. I saw the light. "Zhao Yuyu looked confused by my question.
"That's right, the lights in the hall on the first floor are always on, and that's the crux of the matter." My voice grew louder and louder.
"Oh, I see, this overhead light is a continuous light (that is, a light that doesn't need to be switched on and off, it stays on), and when you see it, it's already there." Li Ruina suddenly realized.
"That's right, if the lights in the hall here are always on, why do you need a switch on the wall?" I pointed to the switch on the wall and said, "Obviously, it's not a ceiling light switch at all, it's the ------ panic button we've been looking for."
"So this button has been in front of us all along!" Cui Li jumped down from the chair, walked to the front of the switch, and pressed it hard.
Suddenly, an electronic voice voice came from the stereo on the ceiling:
"Hello members of the research team participating in the test, I am the test system administrator of AEF company, because you just pressed the panic button for this test, so it is judged that you have given up the test halfway, if you are sure, please press the panic button again, thank you."
Cui Li pressed hard again.
"Hello, confirmed, please be sure to wait in this rest area for our staff to come and take you out of the testing area, the staff has set off and is expected to arrive at the rest area you are in within twenty minutes, please don't leave, thank you."
"Great, we can finally get out of here." Cui Li's face showed a happy expression.
Everyone celebrates our successes with each other. Although we were not able to complete this test, it was not easy for us to leave this test area on our own. Thinking that he could leave here immediately, he could meet Arthur, Xiaoyu, dwarfs and Yan Xiaoyu. My heart was filled with indescribable joy.
September 17, 2021 at 21:50 p.m.
Everyone is sorting out their stuff. Waiting for the arrival of AEF staff. Minute by minute. But there was still no sign of the staff.
"Wait, it's probably already on the way." Li Ruina kept repeating this sentence. But everyone's face changed from happy to solemn.
September 17, 2021 at 22:23 p.m.
More than half an hour passed, and still no one came to take us away.
"Are you saying that no staff members have come to us at all? There's no way we're going back, are we? "It seems that Zhao Yuyu's patience has reached the limit.
"No one will come to us at all, we are like fools." Zhang Han was the second to lose confidence.
"AEF is definitely having a problem. They will come to us, please trust me. Li Ruina's tone was very sincere, but no one in the audience would believe her words anymore.
"Damn, hateful, hateful." Cui Li walked to the switch and kept pressing the switch.
"Hello members of the research team participating in the test, I am the test system administrator of AEF company, because you pressed the panic button of this test just now, so it is judged that you have given up the test halfway, if you are sure, please press the panic button again, thank you."
This phrase is repeated over and over again in the speaker.
Except for me, Li Ruina, and Cui Li, everyone left the table to rest.
"Do you believe me? They're coming, they're coming. Li Ruina looked me in the eye.
I nodded, and it wasn't long ago that we all ate together at this table. Now there are only a few of us left.
"Go and rest, maybe they'll find us tomorrow." I don't know what else I can say to make her happy.
I looked out the window at the night, and the stars were still shining.
