Chapter 568: Determining the Location
Everyone thought that the first phase of the knockout round should be held in Paris, after all, there is a terrifying place here, the human bone cave in Paris, but what everyone didn't expect was that the meeting would be held for half a month...... When the venue for the competition was finally determined, it was not in Paris, but in the Oriental State Prison in the United States.
Mr. Lang brought back the news tiredly, Wang Xiaobai's jaw of surprise was about to drop, because he had been in Paris for too long, he and the little madman not only visited all the attractions and taverns in Paris, as well as the streets, but even had time to study the horrors of the various places that were pre-selected for the competition.
Of all the fields, the least famous and featureless of them is the Eastern State Penitentiary, which was built in 1829 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and was the first prison to be held in solitary confinement. The prisoners here live alone, eat alone, and can even move around in their own yards. When a prisoner leaves his cell, the jailer covers his head with a hood, leaving him in a state of "isolation" from other prisoners. The prison was later abandoned due to overcrowding......
After it was abandoned, it became a tourist attraction, although many tourists said that it was haunted, but there was no evidence, and there were not many people who came to visit, it was in a semi-deserted state, and the program team must be very cheap to rent here, and the prison would be very happy.
There's not much to say, the question is, even if this prison is haunted, how fierce can it be? How rare can it be? Compared to the Parisian Bone Cave, Mexico Doll Island, the Ossuary Church, the Turkish underground city...... Not only are there many fewer gimmicks, but they are also much less dangerous and visible, and they are not even as interesting as Japan's suicide forests.
Why did you choose such a place? Wang Xiaobai, the little madman, Mingyue, and even Li Yiling looked at Mr. Lang in surprise, Mr. Lang smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "So many people in charge gathered together to quarrel, quarreled, and all hoped that the first episode of the program would be held in their own country, and then someone came up with the idea of drawing lots, but everyone is a psychic person, and they don't need to smoke to know what is in the box.
I don't know if there are people to do it, but in front of everyone's eyes, three people were selected to the state prison, and the first episode of the program is set here! ”
After two years of investing in such a big show, six masters from six continents were selected to conduct a world-class psychic competition, and the process was so child's play, the venue of the show had to quarrel, and finally it was decided to modify a slot machine...... Wang Xiaobai was not only speechless, but even helpless.
After Mr. Lang finished speaking, Li Yiling asked: "A place where the danger is not high and there are no gimmicks, it is impossible to naturally eliminate the three players, Mr. Lang, what are the rules?" ”
Speaking of rules, Mr. Lang became serious, and said in a deep voice: "The program team said that after the live broadcast for a week, during this period, the program team will add some material to the prison, and as for what material, let the contestants explore it by themselves." The rules, the rules are to enter the prison at nine o'clock in the evening, and if you can stay until six in the morning, even if you win, the most important thing is that the players can attack each other......"
"So the rules of this period are that they will naturally eliminate each other and attack each other, and the rest will move on to the next round."
After Mr. Lang finished speaking, Wang Xiaobai said in a loud voice: "No, Mr. Lang, what I said before was that three people were eliminated in the first phase of the knockout round, and the remaining three people would be eliminated in the second round of the competition, and one more person would be eliminated, and the remaining two would decide the champion."
According to this logic, it is of course best to have three people left in the first knockout game, but what if there are two people left, four people, five people, or six people left? ”
Although Wang Xiaobai felt that the possibility of one person left, two people, or six people was extremely small, small did not mean that there was, and this question was very critical, so he couldn't wait to ask it. Mr. Lang said hey: "The program team said, if there is only one person left, then this person is the champion, if there are two people left, then the next issue is the finals, if it is four people, the next phase will eliminate two, the remaining five, the next phase will eliminate three, if the six have persisted until dawn, then great, continue the slot machine to choose the place of the game, continue to play ......"
After Mr. Lang finished talking about the regulations of the program group, Wang Xiaobai's brows furrowed, the program team was a bit of a joke, but if you think about it carefully, if there is really such a rule, there is no flaw, especially ...... Thinking of Rogrides who was hidden, Wang Xiaobai believed what he said more and more, nodded and did not speak again.
The next thing is to discuss the next episode of the show, who will be the assistant of Wang Xiaobai in the first issue, in such a complicated situation, if you want to maintain a certain qualification, then you have to be a little madman, after all, the illusion of the little madman can be defended and attacked, although Mingyue is not bad, but it is still incomparable with the little madman.
Wang Xiaobai proposed to let the little madman be his assistant, Mr. Lang agreed, Mingyue didn't have any opinion, Xiao Mingyue has experienced so much, she is sensible a lot, she knows that it is not nonsense, let alone him, so many masters in China are waiting for Mr. Lang's order, as long as he says a word, anyone can follow Wang Xiaobai as an assistant, and he is still a lot worse.
After the discussion, they also prepared their luggage, prepared to fly to the United States, and rushed to the battlefield, the people were still them, and the remaining Alan and they were Sange, Chen Deqing, Bai Susu, and Mr. Lang asked them to stay in the country temporarily, and invited them to come when needed......
Everything is worried about Mr. Lang and his team, Wang Xiaobai and the little madman are concerned about this prison, and they collected a lot of information and began to study, this prison that has long been abandoned is specially used to hold felons, many prisoners have been tortured inhumanely here, and countless people have died in this prison.
During their incarceration, most of the prisoners lived in cramped cells with thick doors, in a state of complete isolation from the outside world, and the cells were very dark, with the only source of light coming from a small skylight called the "Eye of God". No matter how insensitive a criminal is when he comes in, he will be driven insane. But some people are in a worse situation than that, with windowless solitary cells next to death rows, and in isolated dungeons, some prisoners can become insane.
The state prison was abandoned in 1971, and since then there have been numerous rumors of a series of strange things happening in the prison. Today, the Eastern State Penitentiary is a museum and Halloween haunted house, and many visitors report hearing the sounds of people walking around the cell, mysterious and eerie noises, and the occasional wailing of cold, dark corridors. The most famous of these are Cell 12, where laughter is often heard but not a single figure is visible, and one of the guard towers, where the shadow of an illusion continues to monitor the empty prison.
As for the reason for the haunting of the Eastern State Prison, most people believe that although the prison is abandoned, the ghosts of those inmates are still imprisoned in the high walls forever, and until now, those ghosts still think they are alive and are still trying to escape; A small percentage of people think of these hypes; A very small percentage of people think it is a delusion; Scientists, on the other hand, believe that it is psychological suggestion at work.
In addition to the reduction of words, there are also a lot of prison photos, photos of cells, photos of the internal environment, and a bird's-eye view. The eleven long prison buildings converge on the central hub, and on the outside are the towers of the prison's tallest building, with all corners of the prison visible as far as the eye can see.
The graphics of the whole prison are a bit like the Ecstasy Array, speaking of the Ecstasy Array, it has a great origin, basically each dynasty has an improved version, it was used for military affairs in ancient times, it was used for sect formations, and it was also used to fight fish...... There is also a maze array in the spell, and the thirteenth chapter of the "Book of Yin" says that the eight-legged horse, seven pregnant women, is buried under the banner of the sun and the moon, and the yin is yang. This is the Ecstasy.
More ecstasy array is used in the military, there is such a maze array in Yanggu County, the legend is that Sun Bin and Pang Juan Zhidou left, the northern folk fishing also often uses the maze array, first sharpen two or three hundred slender red willow branches, and then use the layout of the maze array to insert it underwater, leaving only a small exit with a diameter of one or twenty centimeters, the fish can not find a way out after entering, and then put some bait in the maze of the layout, and the fish see the bait swimming into the formation. When the fish are harvested, simply block the exit and stir it back and forth in the red willow array with a long stick to drive the fish into the prepared net.
The whole prison is a complex of buildings similar to this ecstasy array, but there are still some differences, if you look closely, it seems that there is a six-pointed star, for feng shui, Wang Xiaobai doesn't know much, and handed it to the little madman on the side and said: "Brother madman, the overall appearance of the prison looks like a maze array, and if you look closely, you can see the shadow of the six-pointed star, what do you think?" ”
The little madman is an illusionist, he has a very unique place for the five elements of yin and yang, and he is Wang Xiaobai's assistant this time, of course, I have to ask his opinion, the little madman is not polite, he took all the photos in Wang Xiaobai's hand, looked at them one by one, and was a little lazy at first, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he was in good spirits, obviously he saw that the door was coming, and he looked at it for seven or eight minutes, muttering to himself, and then he raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaobai and said: "I have to take these photos and send them to Geng Jianyang, he is a master of Qimen Dunjia, I need him to give us advice......"
