Chapter 33: Back to the first floor

The passage was unexpectedly long, and I almost sprinted at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, running forward as fast as I could, before the time was up, and I rushed into another door. org

- It was the elevator door, to be exact.

Because as soon as I entered the small room about 2 meters square, the electronic synthesis female voice rang out: "'Night' has fallen, and now we will go to your room." ”

Then the elevator doors closed, and I felt a sense of weightlessness - the elevator began to descend.

I carefully felt the weightlessness of the fall, and at the same time silently counted the time in my mind in order to roughly calculate the distance of the descent.

With a "ding", the elevator stopped going down, and the elevator door then opened-

The first thing that caught my eye was a scorched yellow light, and a table that was half-lit by the light—an old wooden square table, of unknown wood, covered with dark brown oil and gray dust spots, and emitting a suspicious smell.

Behind the table, there was a silent, dark space—I couldn't tell how big the room was for a moment, but I heard the echo of my own footsteps, and it seemed extremely empty.

There was only a black cardboard box on the square table, and nothing else.

Just as I was hesitating whether to open the box, a female voice sounded at the right time: "Your ID card is [Night Watch], please open the box to get the Night Watch prop." After 1 minute, the 'night' will swallow up all the light. ”

The contents of the box were surprisingly simple.

It turned out to be just a contact lens case, plus a bottle of contact lens care solution with the label removed.

Inside the contact lens case is a double case for storing lenses, and when you unscrew it, you can see that two light blue contact lenses are soaked in a clear care solution.

I was a little incredulous, could my props really be a pair of contact lenses?

Wait a minute!

I was reminded of the rules of the Night's Watch: whenever night falls, the Night's Watch will gain night vision, just like the Werewolves, but the Night's Watch will not have the right to speak or vote at the beginning of the trial.

Night vision...... Ability?

"There are still 30 seconds left before the 'night' completely falls."

The synthesized female voice pulled my thoughts back.

Luckily, as a detective, there are times when I need to disguise myself, and of course I've had experience wearing contact lenses – the easiest way to change the color of my pupils, and 30 seconds is a short time, but not so much that I was able to put them on just a few seconds before the cut-off time.

"All warning: 'Night' has fallen, and the werewolf has the right to kill."

As soon as the radio sounded, the elevator door behind me slammed shut, and the lights above me went out in an instant.

I closed my eyes to relieve the discomfort in my eyes, and when I opened them again, I couldn't help but say "huh" - because in the dark and lightless environment, I can still see, but the whole world in front of me is covered with a faint layer of red, as if I am observing the outside world through infrared night vision devices, but the scenes seen by infrared night vision devices are covered with green light, and now my eyes are pale red.

This pair of contact lenses really allowed me to gain night vision.

But I soon discovered that the contact lens I was wearing was not a black technology like the reduction of infrared night vision into contact lenses, because the square table in front of me, the chandelier and ceiling above my head, and the walls of the room in the distance were all just outlines - it was like the difference between looking at a photograph and looking at a sketch, and what I saw in front of me was a sketch, a sketch made of red-black lines that were darker than the background red.

Maybe everything in this building, all the walls, all the interiors, all the objects, was sprayed with some kind of special paint - even on the bodies of us players, this special paint is not usually visible, but in the dark, it can be seen through special contact lenses......

The "night vision" obtained in this way is naturally not as natural and real as a real night vision device, and it took me a few minutes to finally get used to this strange vision.

The first step is to check the elevator door to enter the room.

It was completely closed, couldn't be opened by brute force, and I couldn't find any control switches, so I had to give up.

I should be in the rooms on the first floor that were previously inaccessible, and the entrances and exits of these rooms are in the corridor on the first floor.

The reason why I am so sure is that, in addition to the previous inference, when the elevator is going down, I roughly calculate the downward distance of the elevator through the weightlessness of the fall and the running time of the elevator, which is almost the same distance as the distance we climbed from the first floor to the second floor.

Next, I spent about five minutes exploring the room.

I now finally know why that dimly lit room downstairs was so big.

Because the so-called "building" we are in is probably an underground structure!

After examining the room I am in, I found that this room is not boxy, but an irregular polygon, which is completely different from the previous dim room, and the size of the room is also very different, my room is only about 1/3 the size.

INTERVIEWER Why are there so many differences in the internal structure of rooms entering the same hallway?

Unless, the shape of the building itself is irregular.

So, what kind of buildings can be easily irregular?

Underground structures.

There are two other strong proofs: we never saw a window in the hallway, stairwell, or any room, and I went from the second floor to the first floor in a straight up and down elevator.

Naturally, underground structures cannot open windows, and the most convenient mode of transportation is also elevators.

Thanks to my night vision, I was able to quickly find the front door of the room, which was still a steel security door, with no doorknobs and no keyholes, and was an automatic electronic lock.

A line of words was written on the door: "Open door password: left 3 right 1".

I looked at both sides of the door, and sure enough, there was a square button installed three or four meters away from the gate - if I hadn't had night vision, I would have been able to open the door with the same chance as winning the lottery if I had just scratched around the wall by luck.

I didn't rush to open the door.

Outside the door is the hallway on the first floor, but it would be very dangerous to go out now.

According to the rules, werewolves will go out in the 'night' and kill a villager - presumably everyone is now sent to their own room, and the werewolf can come out of the room and enter one of the rooms and kill the villagers in the room.

So, I should wait for the werewolves to act first, and then I just need to hide around the corner of the hallway, wait for the werewolves to show up, and quietly remember their names.

And when werewolves first meet, there is always a process of deliberation and planning, so I should wait first.

Wait a minute!

Since I can also call the door myself, what if I go out now and pretend to be a werewolf too?

Once this thought appeared, it was like a magic spell, and I kept weighing the pros and cons in my mind, and the heavens and men were at war endlessly, so that my whole body became hot.

On the one hand, impersonating a werewolf is of course extremely risky, but on the other hand, the benefits are also huge!

I can even penetrate the werewolves, divide them and even break them down.

One glance at the Gurkha scimitar with its thick blade in my hand, I made up my mind.

"Click."

The automatic lock bracket is released.

I took a deep breath and the door slowly opened in front of me......
