"The only rule: live here until four in the morning. Finish. ”

After Fick said this, he humorously spread his hands and gestured so far. However, the four people on the opposite side all sank in their hearts and couldn't laugh.

The reward of the game is likely to be to survive, but the goal of the game itself is to survive, which means that the process of the game may not be as peaceful as they just thought, and there is a high probability that some very dangerous situations will appear, such as deadly traps, bombs, real people to kill, etc. The point is that Fick's announcement of such a sentence means that their previous psychological preparations and pre-war predictions have all failed. This rule is equivalent to saying nothing.

No, it's worse than saying nothing. At this moment, there are even doubts about whether to explore the depths of the corridor, maybe the danger itself is hidden at the other end of the corridor, and it is safest to stay patiently in the lobby and wait for the time to pass. Or you can stay where you are, and you have to move forward to find a way to survive. When the importance of survival is once again emphasized, they will have to show more courage than before if they want to explore.

This is a big problem for them.

And Fick himself walked out of the scene after saying the rules, as if the next thing had nothing to do with him. Even with his back to them, the host's unique sense of coercion remained heavily in place. Everyone watched him walk to the corridor on the other side, and for a while, no one dared to move.

It wasn't until his figure was about to completely disappear into the depths of the dim corridor that Xiang Nanxing finally mustered up the courage to take a step forward and shouted, "What will happen after the game is cleared?" ”

The level of this question is really not very good, but in normal times, Xiang Nanxing is confident that he can ask a question that can lead to more clues. But under the pressure of the other party, even he could only find nothing to say, and tried to stay with the host first.

Fick's footsteps stopped. He turned his head slowly, and the mask on his face had changed to an expressionless face at some point. He just looked at Xiang Nanxing so directly, and saw that the latter's heart was furious, so he said slowly: "Just wait after four o'clock, there will be a guard to pick you up in the room." ”

After a pause, he added: "It's all about this, please don't let me down." ”

With a wave of his hand, he strode again around the corner of the hallway, completely out of sight. Lorraine and Ma You looked at each other in disbelief as they clenched their fists hard. If Fike hadn't left yet, they would almost have wanted to jump up immediately and give Xiang Nanxing a big hug. No one expected that Xiang Nanxing's seemingly ordinary question would bring them what they need most at the moment - the next clue!

Of course, there is more or less an element of Fike's own intention to release water, after all, the latter has already finished talking about the rules, and he can completely ignore it and leave. But in the atmosphere just now, Xiang Nanxing was able to withstand the psychological pressure to catch up and ask questions, which led to Fike's answer later. Although the old one-eyed did not appear to be as happy as the other two, he raised his hand and patted the young man's back vigorously, which was also approving.

"In terms of the rules of the game, the host doesn't lie to the players, right?" Lorraine looked at Old One-Eye as he said this, and when he saw the latter's jaw in confirmation, he continued: "Then what this masked man said just now revealed at least two important information. ”

He held up two fingers: "First, the guards will pick us up in the 'room', which means that under normal circumstances, when the game time is over, the surviving person should stay in the room. This solves the question of where we are going - there is no doubt that it will be dangerous for us to stay here, and we must explore and find a room to enter. ”

And the second point can be seen as an emphasis on the point just now. The focus is on time. ”

Ma You followed his friend's thoughts and said: "Even if the game is cleared, you can't walk around, you have to wait for someone to pick it up, and the time of picking it up is not the exact time when the game ends, but 'after that'." I guess this is also a hint that something might be wrong in the area outside of the room, and even the guards have to wait until after four o'clock before they can start moving. In order to survive, we must hide in the room in time. He added: "Also, the host just said that the game will lose its meaning if it is midnight zero, and I guess this is also emphasizing the problem of time, between zero and four o'clock in the morning, staying outside is probably a problem." ”

All four looked at the clock hanging on the wall at the same time. At this point, the time had come to eleven and fifteen, and it was only forty-five minutes before midnight, and if their guess was correct, there was not much time left for them to explore and find a safe room.

"From the nearest room, it uses an electronic lock, and the door should be opened with something like a room key. There are so many rooms in this row of corridors, it is impossible for all of them to be safe, maybe some of the rooms do hide dangers......"

Lorraine said as the four of them quickly turned the counter around the counter upside down. Ten minutes passed, and they were even sweating slightly, but they couldn't find anything like a key or a key card.

The old one-eyed coughed lightly: "It seems that before considering whether it is safe inside, it is better to find a way to open the lock of the door, if you don't have a room card, it is better to try to break the door violently......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Nanxing suddenly exclaimed: "You guys come and see this!" ”

He pointed to the bulletin board on the wall. I wrote a check-in policy for a regular hotel, but of course it makes no sense here. However, Xiang Nanxing noticed that under this sprinkling of nonsense, there were still very important clues hidden.

"Note: 1. All doors in the hotel have an absolute barrier effect."

"2. Hotel rooms are for designated guests only."

"3. In order to ensure safety at night, from 0:00 to 4:00 a.m., the hotel will spread lethal gas in open areas, please stay in your room and do not go out. The ventilation operation will be performed on time at 4 a.m., so please try not to leave the room during this period for safety, thank you for your cooperation. ”

These three prompts are connected to the bottom of the text, in a slightly smaller font, which is difficult for those who don't care to see the end. Everyone was focused on finding the key card just now, and although their eyes stayed on the billboard one after another, most of them skipped after looking at two lines. Only Xiang Nanxing noticed the important information below.

Lorraine gave him a deep look, then stared at the three hints in deep thought. After a few seconds, he spoke.

"That's a really important clue. One and three confirm the possibility that Ma Yu just said. The corridor after twelve o'clock is indeed dangerous, but this danger is not the kind that is visible to the naked eye, but poisonous gas, this is indeed the ultimate move of 'all killing', and the time also corresponds to the prompt of the host just now. Lorraine's face was solemn, "But the most important thing is the second one, the room is only for designated guests." There are too many hidden possibilities for this sentence. What counts as a designated guest? ”

His gaze slowly swept over the doors of several rooms in the hallway, then took a few steps forward, trying to hold the handle and push it a few times—it looked useless, the door didn't move.

"I think that's it, the soldiers are divided into two ways." Lorraine said, "My group with Ma You, Brother Yan and Brother Xiang walked to the fork in the corridor and moved separately to speed up the exploration. You can try to see if each door can be opened. If my assumption is correct, there are probably only four rooms with unlocked doors that were specially arranged for us. After all, games aren't designed to be unbeatable. ”

He took one last look at the clock, which was exactly half past eleven.

"And what we're going to do is find them before the gas comes out! Run! ”

He rushed out first, pushing and pulling every door quickly along the way. Ma You was stunned for a moment, but he also followed. Xiang Nanxing and Lao One-Eye's reactions were both a beat slower, but looking at the movements of Lorraine and Ma You, both of them came back to their senses.

Pressed for time, Lorraine decisively opted for brute-force hacking. However, contrary to Old One-Eye's assertion, he did not break down the door violently, but tried to find the four unlocked doors in all the rooms.

"It's not a low chance." Xiang Nanxing took a deep breath, "How is it, old one-eyed, do you still have the strength to run?" ”

Old One-Eye smiled with difficulty: "In order to survive, I have to run with back pain." ”

The two men followed and ran into the hallway. There were only thirty minutes left before midnight, and Xiang Nanxing saw that the room number on the far left was 0104, and the number on the right was 1224, and the number seemed to be irregular, but judging from the four-digit point alone, the number of rooms in this area might be an astonishing number.

"Where did you get such a big place in prison?" He muttered.

Lorraine and Ma You, who had gone first, had already pushed through all the doors of this section. Xiang Nanxing saw them running to the right after running to the end, so he took the old one-eyed to the left. Along the way, they pushed and pulled the doors quickly, but each door did not move. Around a certain corner, they also found a fire axe. So the desperate old one-eyed picked up the axe and tried to break the door violently, but after smashing it a few times, he found that this door was really not something that ordinary people could smash open.

"Hell yes!" Lao Duyan panted with an axe, "Lao Tzu has used all the strength to eat milk, and he can't smash it open, so don't make the door as hard as the door of the prison cell!" ”

He said that he used very moderation in his strength. As a veteran prison resident, Lao Duyan saw that these door locks had a rather ingenious design, and once they encountered external damage exceeding a certain limit, they would automatically lock and no one could open them.

Since they couldn't break down the door, they had to continue looking for the unlocked room. When the old one-eyed smashed the door, Xiang Nanxing continued to try to open the door, but there was one less person who tried, after all, it slowed down their speed. Some time has passed, and there is no end in sight to the corridor, and there may be a long way to go.

However, at this moment, Xiang Nanxing looked at the room number in front of him and suddenly fell into deep thought. After a few moments, he slowly pressed his hand to the handle, trying to fumble with the doorknob. An inaudible beep sounded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Old one-eyed, I see."

He raised his hand and slowly pushed the door open.
