Force shutdown
"Now that we've confirmed that there's no poison gas, let's do as planned?" Sukhoi proposed, "You two stay here and hold the door against it, and the rest of us explore here together to see if there is a way to get out." ”
What he said was actually a bit redundant, and in the final analysis, it was probably just to take the opportunity to brush up on his leadership feelings. Because when he spoke, several people, including Xiang Nanxing, had already passed through the door and came to this other room, and Ye Hua and Chris, who wanted to stay in the previous room, were originally his people, so they naturally obeyed him.
The only thing of value is probably "blocking the door". Listening to his reminder, many people couldn't help but remember the way the door was forcibly closed just now, and then nodded silently. Indeed, although there is nothing to explore in the previous room, it is not a comfortable thing to think about if you are cut off here.
As for "explore this side and see if there's anything you can get out...... When he said this, everyone said "nonsense" in unison, and then they all looked in the same direction.
There's another door there.
Unlike the iron door they had just walked through, the one that appeared in front of them was more modern in design, with two flat steel plates that split to the left and right when opened, like a normal elevator. Unlike the elevator, however, the gear-like bite at the joints seemed to tell them that it would not be easy to pry the door open with violence.
The room here is not big, more than half smaller than the one they just stayed in, and this door is located directly opposite the one they just walked through, and they will see it in a conspicuous position as soon as they enter the door, and the furnishings in the room are also invisibly revealing a feeling of "stars holding the moon" - this is a very mysterious feeling, in short, when you walk into this room, even if the first thing you look at is the side or the ceiling or floor, The things that are placed there will also naturally direct your gaze to the opposite door.
But that doesn't mean the room is simply decorated. On the contrary, there are a few paintings hanging on the wall here, and the walls are also painted, which looks quite neat. There was also a three-person sofa on each side of the room, and even if all six of them were here, this sofa would be enough for them to rest together. Similar to the previous room, there is also an aluminum sliding window on the wall, so you don't have to look to know that the same tempered glass must be used here
In the same way as the previous room, there was an LCD screen on one side of the room, which was still faithfully displaying the same numbers as before. Only a minute has passed since they walked in, and the numbers have jumped, showing that even the units of measurement are as strange as before, and they are not the traditional "hours:minutes:seconds" structure.
However, there are some different things in this room, for example, Xiang Nanxing noticed that there is a dark green safe in the corner here. The safe was small in size, forty centimeters square, and on the top of the box was an electronic cipher disc that shimmered with metallic luster. This sudden sense of technology doesn't match its old color scheme.
Xiang Nanxing couldn't help but take a few more glances at this safe. Even a fool can tell that there must be something important hidden in this one, and the code is probably hidden somewhere in this room, waiting for them to unearth.
Then he turned his gaze back to the most important door.
Unlike the previous door, this time the door is obviously locked, so there will be a way to unlock it. He noticed that there was a small square recess on the wall to the left of the door, about one and a half meters above the ground, which was the height of the average person's outstretched hand. Inside the recess was something like a button, red, about the size of a fist, that seemed to open the door by pressing hard. However, a closer look reveals that the area is enclosed by a piece of glass, making it impossible to reach the buttons.
The aggressive Saiwei tried to smash a few punches hard, but there was not even a crack in the glass, but his own fist ached. It seems that as they expected, the glass has also been strengthened, and it is impossible to break it with bare hands, and it may not be possible to use tools. I'm afraid that I have to use a firearm to penetrate it.
However, even if it can't be broken, this glass should be able to open by itself, Xiang Nanxing thought, looking at the five small indicators above the button. These lights are just above the buttons, and they're all dim, so it's not hard to imagine what will happen when they're all on.
The most logical consideration is undoubtedly that the glass below opens, allowing the player to press a button to open the door.
"I paid a little attention to the size and shape of the villa before I entered it." Xiang Nanxing said, "To put it simply, excluding the external decoration, its shape is a bit like a 'convex' character. The first room we were in just now was a rectangle under the word, which was basically close to eighty percent of the size of the first floor of the villa, and the only thing that was missing was the protruding piece on it. So I wasn't surprised to see that there was a door in that location, and when the door opened, it was another room. ”
"But this time, the back of the door should be outside the villa?" Sukhoi was the first to grasp what he meant.
"That's what I thought." Xiang Nanxing responded. He tried to look away, but he kept unconsciously looking at the row of lights above the buttons. Five, does this have any special meaning? Is the meaning behind this really what he just speculated? Xiang Nanxing looked at the three people in front of him, and then thought about the two on the other side of the door, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Sukhoi heard his answer and nodded. "I noticed that too." "At the same time, I noticed these lights. According to my reasoning, this should indicate that there are five hidden puzzles in the room, and if you solve one of them, the light will turn on, and when you solve all of them, you can press the button and open the door to leave. ”
He clapped his palms vigorously: "Everyone, get moving!" ”
"Having said all this, it's not nonsense." The outspoken Saiwei pursed his lips disdainfully, "It's not like I haven't played that kind of trial-type game. Seeing this kind of obvious clue, how stupid people have to be to react. ”
As he spoke, he hobbled towards the safe in the corner. Xiang Nanxing stood beside him, and suddenly the whole person froze.
Trials?
Xiang Nanxing's back was cold. He suddenly realized that this was the crux of the matter.
But why didn't I notice until then!
Saiwei said casually, after all, this is not a new term. It's just that when he heard it, Xiang Nanxing remembered the unforgettable gamble he had experienced at that time. At that time, it was the host who sat in the bank, and several of them were selected to complete the challenge assigned by the banker, and only by winning could they live.
Compared to the situation of solving the puzzle and escaping the room at this time, it is indeed somewhat similar.
Thinking about the strange murderous aura that Xiang Nanxing felt in the host Makoto Matsumoto before, if it were him, it would indeed be possible to design a trial-type game to kill a few people here openly.
But wait, they're only being asked to stay in the room for two hours? At most, it's just a punishment after the game ends. Why did it somehow become a trial-type game?
Recall that even Fick, the "masked man" who went to great lengths to lay a "sleepover" trap for them, knew that at that time they had no way out but to participate in the game, but he had to ask the player to confirm his participation before starting the game. From this point of view, this set of processes seems to be one of the rules and regulations of the hosts, and they must complete it.
Therefore, the punishment cannot be directly converted into a trial-type game, unless ......
"Go back!"
Xiang Nanxing shouted, and at the same time turned around and ran towards the door where he came, but at this moment, he saw a scene that was enough to make him fall into despair. Ye Hua and Chris originally chose to stay in the previous room and block the door according to Sukhoi's request, but in just a few seconds, the door suddenly changed its state and was closing quickly and forcefully. And Ye Hua tried their best to hold it with their hands, but they couldn't even kick their feet, and in the end they just passively followed the door.
When Xiang Nanxing shouted, they also began to call for help.
"Come and help push it!" Ye Hua's always calm face was rarely a little flustered, "The force of this door closure is too strong, and I can't hold it at all...... I can't hold on anymore! ”
By this time the door was about to close, and in order to avoid being left alone, they had gone from pulling at the beginning to now squeezing through the door panel, and pushing this side. Although it was only a few steps away from the door, when Xiang Nanxing arrived in a hurry, the door had almost closed, leaving only the last fist-wide gap.
"Hold on!" Xiang Nanxing pounced without hesitation, and slammed his shoulders from the middle of the two of them to the door panel with the momentum of rushing forward.
But it's only for a moment.
The moment he leaned on his shoulder, Xiang Nanxing immediately felt the irresistible push on the door, and then his feet couldn't stop slipping. It was by no means a thrust that could be held up by human manpower, and he almost immediately set his sights in the direction of the door shaft, where the gears could be faintly seen turning, if they could be stuck with something hard......
But that's just a matter of thinking. Before the others had time to lend a hand, the strength of the three of them alone was no longer enough to stop it from closing. Xiang Nanxing's addition only delayed the process for a moment.
There was a muffled "bang", and the iron door slammed shut, accompanied by the sound of a clatter. Ye Hua and Chris were already out of breath at this time, while Xiang Nanxing leaned against the door even lower, slowly slid down, and sat on the ground.
Sukhoi, who was a step late, was silent for a moment at the closed door, and then, as if to alleviate the frustrating atmosphere, he tried to put a smile on his face, and said to Ye Hua and Chris: "No matter what, at least we are not separated, as long as everyone is united, we will definitely find ......"
"You're wrong."
Xiang Nanxing rarely interrupted others' words. He struggled to his feet against the door, his face solemn.
"That means the game is about to begin."
As if to verify his words, the LCD screen in the room changed at this time.
