"Hey, what's going ......on at this time?"

The first thing I noticed was Saiguang, who was originally standing next to the LCD screen. He pointed to the LCD screen, his brows furrowed deeply: "Why did you jump so much at once?" And go fast? ”

As soon as he reminded him, even a few people who hadn't noticed it saw it. Perhaps the moment the door closed, the LCD screen here changed, and the words "0:01:50" were directly displayed on it, and it was still rapidly decreasing. Compared to the one minute they had just jumped, it was so fast that it was hard for them to get used to it.

"It's not fast." Xiang Nanxing sighed, "This is the right flow of time." ”

At this time, he had thoroughly understood the method used by the other party, but what it brought was not joy or relief, but deep despair. The others around were still confused, and Chris looked up curiously and asked, "So, now it's countdown?" But what kind of event is this countdown? ”

"I'm afraid we're seeing the last minute of two hours now." Xiang Nanxing replied, "If I'm not mistaken, this iron door just now should be designed to close and lock automatically when there are two minutes left before the time limit. I think that since this has been achieved, this door must not be able to be pushed open by the combined strength of six people. ”

Saiwei frowned: "Wait, you said the two-hour countdown?" But our two hours passed early, but the host didn't show up, and the exit didn't open, did he? ”

"Nope."

Xiang Nanxing shook his head: "That's just a little trick to make us misjudge, it's not profound." Actually, when the countdown is over, the two hours will officially end, and if we stay in the same room, we'll see the entrance open in a moment, and we'll be able to get out. ”

"But that countdown ......," Ye Hua said.

"I told you about it, it's just a little trick." Xiang Nanxing said, "One jump is equal to one minute, this is not the content of the countdown prompt, but we roughly estimate it according to its speed." In fact, unless you are a person with a particularly keen sense of time, the average person cannot perfectly count the length of a minute by himself, but can only grasp it approximately. And the boring wait itself has the effect of making people feel longer. The original countdown took advantage of this weakness of ours and instilled us the wrong time - I guess it should be about fifty-five seconds at intervals between each number minus one. ”

He broke a little, and everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, this is a little trick, the original countdown does not indicate that it is in the format of "day:hour:minute", and even Matsumoto himself never said that there is a countdown in the room, so no matter how it is displayed, it does not actually carry an authoritative meaning in itself. If, as Xiang Nanxing said, the interval between each beating is fifty-five seconds, and they regard it as one minute, then when they think that two hours have passed, the actual time has passed is only one hour and fifty minutes.

So no matter how they knocked on the door at that time, the outside staff would not come in because the agreed time had not yet arrived.

Ye Hua and Chris glanced at each other and saw that each other's moods were complicated. If the truth of the matter was indeed as Xiang Nanxing reasoned, then they shouldn't have bothered with that door just now, nor should they rush in before the door closed, it would have been best to stay there. But in that case just now, you must choose the side with more people to feel safe, with their character, is there any other choice?

Xiang Nanxing was also silent at this time, thinking about something else. Matsumoto's trick on the countdown was not brilliant in retrospect, but if one of them was more sensitive to time, or if one of them thought that the countdown might not be accurate, the trick would fail. However, people value the result, and some people may say, you don't care if his plan is clever or not, as long as it succeeds, it is right.

No, it would be nice if that was the case. Xiang Nanxing thought of this and was worried.

This kind of black cat and white cat statement seems to be objective, but in fact, it only uses the result of the hero, and vaguely acquiesces that part of the success of the other party's strategy may be attributed to luck. However, Xiang Nanxing vaguely felt that in fact, in the situation just now, Matsumoto's plan would be almost 100% successful. First of all, from the current point of view, there are really no people among them who feel good enough, and secondly, in the atmosphere of mutual wariness just now, not too many people can spare the energy to think further about the situation in front of them, or even make a little doubt.

If Matsumoto just played a trick and then got lucky, that's fine. He knew that they would crack the meaning of the countdown according to the set idea, and then they would fall into confusion when they thought it was time, and finally they would push open the door and enter another room in the few minutes they had freed.

Ye Hua and Chris's stay may be surprising, but it doesn't matter, staying behind is a cautious move, they will definitely stay by the door in case the door closes like an entrance, and when the door really starts to close, they will definitely choose to be with their teammates out of their cautious nature. Although Xiang Nanxing couldn't confirm it, he felt that Matsumoto Makoto must have seen through this.

Before this, Xiang Nanxing had only guessed at most that he would try to provoke conflicts between people and make them infighting, but it was hard to imagine how he would rely on such means to kill people for fun. But at this time, he finally saw through all the means that Matsumoto had arranged in the first room was to allow them to pass through the door spontaneously in order to enter the so-called "trial game" he had designed.

But what if you see through it? It's late. They're already here. At this time, the six people could only stand in place and look at the beating numbers on the LCD screen, waiting for the real deadline to arrive.

Three, two, one.

It's time.

Through the iron door, they pricked up their ears and heard a small sound from the other side, which made everyone's faces instantly turn to ashes. The door opened, and there was nothing like this to support Xiang Nanxing's reasoning just now, and in the end, all of them were played by Makoto Matsumoto.

"Damn it!" Sai Wei angrily slammed on the iron door, "He actually resorted to such a deplorable method!" ”

Sukhoi said quietly, "I advise you to save a little effort." I don't know what's going to happen next. ”

His face was not good-looking, but he still quickly focused on the next thing, which also showed that he had a higher experience and judgment than the others: "We walked through the door by ourselves just now, and no one forced us, so even if we protested, it was invalid, and there was no need to dwell on the mistakes that had been made." The key problem now is that the staff brought us in directly to the room and indicated that it was used to enforce punishments, so it was necessary to ensure our safety, but now this is not necessarily, he can set up a mechanism, or use other means, such as ......"

"Like poison gas."

Suddenly, a voice sounded somewhere in the room, and everyone's faces changed instantly. This voice doesn't belong to any of them, but it was heard not long ago - it's the voice of the host Makoto Matsumoto!

At this point, his voice was apparently emitted through a device such as a loudspeaker, but the horn seemed to be hidden in the mezzanine of the wall, and there were several other distributions, making it sound like it was everywhere and everywhere, which made people feel very unpleasant.

And he continued.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you to the playground this time. As you can see, this will be a trial game, but as a rule, I'm going to make sure you want to participate first. ”

He paused. But everyone's faces were still the same ugly, and after a while, Sukhoi said coldly: "What else is there to talk about, I don't know what to confirm, before that, answer me a question, is the poison gas you just said true or false?" ”

"Poison gas is real." Matsumoto's voice still sounded so sincere, "Actually, from an hour after the start of the meeting—ah, this time you can trust the countdown on the LCD screen—in short, an hour later, this room will begin to be filled with deadly gas, and no one will survive in an environment full of that gas." The only way out is to join this game I designed, find a way to solve the puzzle, and then find a way to press the red button on the side of the door to open the door and escape. ”

"Understood, I'm participating." Sukhoi said immediately. After all, it's not something to think about. After him, everyone also expressed their attitudes, which was considered to be a sign up, only Xiang Nanxing was thinking with his chin in one hand, but he was not in a hurry to reply.

"Holy!" After replying, Saiwei scolded one more sentence fiercely, as if it was not enough to vent the anger in his heart. Matsumoto's current approach is actually to trap people in a closed room, and then announce that poison gas will be released in an hour, and then ask the other party if they want to participate in the game...... That's not nonsense! In this case, if you don't participate, you will wait for death, and if you participate, you will have a chance to open the door and escape, who would say not to participate. But this has nothing to do with the will or anything, it's purely about survival!

He was furious, but Matsumoto Makoto even humored: "If you say something foul, I will agree to it." ”

"You bastard!" Saiwei was so angry that he cursed again. However, at this moment, Xiang Nanxing's face changed slightly.

Matsumoto's answer may sound fine at first glance, but it's not accurate. Because Saiwei had already replied before the explosion. What's even more strange is that he hasn't replied yet, but the other party never mentions it.

If it weren't for Xiang Nanxing's constant attention to this "worst possibility", I am afraid that he would not have noticed the difference between the two. At this time, he wanted to try to test it, and suddenly remembered Liang Jingmo's seemingly crazy actions. He sighed in his heart: I didn't expect that he would also be able to use the Fa.

"Host, have you eaten?" Suddenly, he said something nonsensical. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and everyone's faces were full of neurotic expressions: What guy would say such stupid things at this time!

Surprisingly, however, Matsumoto did not behave in any unusual manner. He seemed to ignore Xiang Nanxing's provocation, and just said in that warm voice to himself: "Since this is the case, then everyone can start solving the mystery happily!" ”

This strange reaction stunned everyone.

And Xiang Nanxing's face suddenly became very ugly, and his confidence fell to the bottom.

It turned out that the enemy they were going to face next was such a well-known guy!
