Chapter Eighty-Six: A Fleeting Sense of Presence
The words of the fashionable man Jack seemed to give Monica some reminder, and she frowned and asked, "If nothing wrong, all of us have been in the Game of Death, right?" β
Miranda on the side was also frowning, as if frowning had become the norm, but it was not something to hide, and she nodded like the fashionable man Jack. Monica's memory is good, to be exact, the memory that the script loaded into her is good.
"Jack, who was forced to participate in the Death Game four years ago, was the only one who survived when all three people who participated in the game died.
Emily, eleven years ago, legend has it that John Kramer (the old man in jigsaw) was forced to participate in the death game, paid the price of serious injuries, and lay in the hospital for four months before he could save his life.
Maude, who was forced to participate in a death game ten years ago, suffered severe burns to her back, but managed to survive, and wanted to have tattoos all over her body to cover up those scars.
Rom, thirteen years ago, was brought into the game of death when jigsaws first appeared. All three people who participated in the death game survived, but they didn't say anything about what happened in the game. RΓΆm also paid the price for an eye and scars, and his whereabouts were suddenly unknown not long after the game. β
Every time one person's experience is mentioned, the faces of the other two people are gloomy, and that memory is definitely not something that I want to be mentioned by others at will. Finally, she looked meaningfully at Miranda, who claimed to have come to participate in the battle for the name of the jigsaw, and continued: "Miranda, also thirteen years ago, when the jigsaw first appeared, was forced to participate in a game of death. There were only two people forced to participate in that game of death, but you were the only one who survived in the end. Since then, he has been working as a general insurance salesman. It's just that I didn't expect that now it seems that you have not escaped from that shadow in the past ten years, but have fallen deeper and deeper. β
Monica's words made Miranda's face gloomy, but Jack standing next to the door was also not good-looking. Miranda said with a gloomy face, "What do you mean by that?" β
"Time, time is wrong." The fool who had been paddling for most of the day saw that his head still didn't get to the point, so he simply jumped out to brush his sense of existence. Seeing that the remaining three people put their eyes on themselves, he continued with a smirk: "The boss is one less person, I also participated in the death game, just ten days ago. There were three other people who participated in the death game at the same time, and I was the only one who survived. β
Seeing Hoffman tell his experience without any fuss, and even show a 'strange' smile, the remaining three were not only a little frightened, but even a little strange.
"Hoffman, what do you want to say?" Monica couldn't help but ask.
The fool still said with a smirk: "Before I explain, I want to confirm one thing. He looked at Miranda, "You said that you and Roma both walked into this room with their own collars, so can you tell me what kind of place is behind this door?" β
Miranda was stunned for a moment, but thinking that there seemed to be nothing worth hiding, she said honestly: "This may be an abandoned factory, and it has been abandoned outside for a long time. Behind the door is a corridor, nothing special. There were arrows leading us here, and the collar was placed on the table next to the door. But one thing is strange, there are three collars on the table. When I put it on, I walked in and found you all lying unconscious. Soon after, Rohm also came in. I was expecting an eighth person to come in, but Rohm just closed the door, and he said it was a 'jigsaw' order. β
When Miranda said this, the fool didn't react at all, but Monica's face next to him changed dramatically.
I heard the fool continue to ask: "So, in your conjecture, there should be an eighth person wearing a collar, but it is not right?" β
Seeing Miranda nodding in confirmation, the 'smirk' on the fool's face became even more strange: "So can you think that in fact, among the four of us, is there anyone who does not wear the so-called collar?" Or... Is the collar around the neck of one of us fake? You know, Jigsaw Disciples have a bad habit of observing the scene of the Death Game up close! β
As soon as the fool's words came out, the remaining three people suddenly looked nervous, looked at each other vigilantly, and opened a certain distance.
But as if he hadn't seen the expressions of the three of them, the fool suddenly turned his mouth and continued: "Let's continue to talk about the topic at the beginning, where is that keyhole?
From the very beginning, our goal was to set ourselves on these four walls, believing that the keyhole to get out of here was hidden inside the wall. And the mechanism and the key in the mechanism that Emily found later also shows that there seems to be nothing wrong with the direction we are looking for.
But we were able to realize this, and the designers of this game deliberately made us recognize. From Emily's death to designing Roma's mechanism, it's clear that the guys behind the game know a lot about the personalities of the two of them and what happened in the past.
Using a picture of Emily's daughter to lure her into putting her hand into the trap, Rom is wise to dismantle the trap and sets a chain trap. Grasp the psychological weaknesses and link one link at a time. It's not so much a test as it is the elimination of some unqualified guys. Even Jack would have gone to open the door, and if it weren't for Miranda's reminder, I'm afraid that it would be Jack and not Maud who would have died.
But all the while, we overlooked that it wasn't just the walls that could be found in this room. And from the very beginning, there was one thing in this room that was overlooked by all of us! β
Following the fool's gaze, the black box without any gaps came into the sight of the three of them.
"We've all checked this box, and it doesn't have any keyholes at all." Although the atmosphere in the room eased for a while, Monica's frown did not let go.
The fool shook his head, "Just looking for it, we subconsciously ignore that there is another side of this box that we didn't pay attention to, and you look at the ground!" β
I saw the fool slowly walk to the side of the black box, and the pool of blood oozing from Emily's body at his feet had reached the vicinity of the black box, but there was a distinct square mark there. There are four such traces!
The fool grabbed the edge of the box while keeping a smirk on his face: "The real keyhole is always underneath." Underneath this, not just under the floor, but also under the chest. The designers of this death game know our personalities and naturally can find the blind spots in our minds, but it's a pity that I met them! β
As he spoke, the fool pushed the box up with all his might!
Three muffled sounds in a row!! A figure flew out upside down!
