Chapter 36: Suffocation
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures." Yan introspectively blocked her ears and turned her back.
I don't know when the wall clock was hanging there intact. And began to move. And the faster and faster it turns, it has long exceeded the speed that should have been at the original time. It's like a high-speed racing car, spinning tirelessly around the track.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Wei has difficulty understanding such a phenomenon.
It's just that as time keeps turning, he feels a hint of stuffiness. The rest of his eyes looked at the flowers on the side. Unexpectedly, it gradually withered and lost moisture.
"Race against time......" Xu Wei kept reading these four words.
Yan Zizi stood up and said, "Why do you feel more and more stuffy, you have to be out of breath." ”
"Gas? Breathe? Breathe the air! Xu Wei shouted.
"Breathe the air! Our room was a closed room, and now the clock was running fast to indicate that time was running by, and the flower was starting to lose moisture and dry up. The air in this room is running fast! So what this picture is trying to tell us is, will time pass faster than we think? In this case, we would suffocate to death in a practical situation of about ten minutes of normal time! After Xu Wei said this, he found that he began to sweat.
Yan Zizhi suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the analysis is reasonable, but then what?" There's no way to crack it, so it's better to stop talking, save some effort and think more about how to get out! There are only ten minutes left. ”
Xu Wei frowned, thinking about his way out. Judging from the current situation, this room must be indestructible, so the method of destroying the escape is definitely not feasible. Yan Zijiu has also tried this before, and the decorations are only this clock, flowers and a word. I can't figure out how to get out! Could there be any mechanism in these three things?
Xu Yiyi picked it up and tried it, looking left and right, but he didn't find anything that could be called a mechanism. Shook his head helplessly, sure enough, this is not the case.
Yan Zizhi impatiently raised the gun and was about to smash the wall clock again, but was stopped by Xu Wei.
Xu Wei hurriedly said: "Uncle, your gun is now an air bullet, and the compressed air needs a huge amount of air support, and now the air in this house is not enough, you will only speed up our death." ”
Yan introspectively said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I hate the secret room!" Don't think I'm in a cramped room! ”
Xu Wei smashed the vase without giving up, tore the calligraphy and paintings, and threw the clock down and smashed it. But after a few seconds, the things will return to their original positions again, and the only thing that will not change is that the clock will still spin.
Xu Wei even turned the tatami mats of the entire room upside down, hoping that there would be some secret passages. But all this is in vain, wasting their physical strength and thin air.
After a while, Xu Wei sat down sweating profusely and panting.
Yan Zizhi sat aside and said, "You should think of a way, you have been tossing for so long, and there is no way at all." ”
Xu Wei said angrily: "What can I do?" I've tried everything I can, and I can't help it. It's a big deal, it's better to hug and die together. ”
Yan Zijiu looked at Xu Wei's thunderous appearance and was very funny: "Don't be angry, it's a lot of anger." Don't worry, we still have half the time to toss. I have an idea that I don't know if it's feasible or not. ”
"Say it, say it." Xu Wei hurriedly said.
"Don't you think we're still stuck in a misconception? From the beginning, we were all just trying to get out of this room. But the truth is that no matter what we do, we can't get out of this room, what should we do to make the right decision when we can't get out of the room? Yan introspection guided Xu Wei.
"What do we need to do if we can't get out of the room?" Xu Wei muttered to himself and chewed on this sentence repeatedly.
"Since not being able to leave the room is already a given, what we need most right now is what we need the most. Air is what we lack the most, and we have to find a way to get it? Xu Wei immediately said with doubts: "Uncle, aren't you talking nonsense, how can we get air in a confined space?" ”
Yan introspected: "Why does the air pass so fast? It's not because the two of us consume a lot! It's because time is compressed here! ”
Xu Wei suddenly realized: "So, the most important thing we should do is to stop time!" Right? Uncle. ”
Yan introspected: "Yes, everything you do is to escape from the room, the so-called distant water does not quench the thirst of the near." If time stops, or if the flow rate is the same as the flow rate of our own world, then is it relatively less urgent to escape the room? Yan looked at Xu Wei with a smile.
Xu Weiwei patted his head and said, "Yes! Right! But how exactly should this time be manipulated? ”
"Isn't the answer already explained? Race against time. You just have to compete with that clock. Yan Zizhi pointed to the high-speed rotating wall clock.
"How to grab it?" Xu Wei was puzzled.
"You're a person, and you say you have to use your brains. What brains! You have to complicate the simplest of problems. How to rob? Of course, it's the minute hand and the hour hand pulling of the clock! Yan Zizi glanced at Xu Wei and said angrily.
Xu Weiwei said with a skeptical face: "Can this work?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's okay or not, anyway, there's only a minute or two left, and it's a big deal to hold on to death." Yan's introspective voice had begun to weaken. A lot of air is lost, and the bodily functions of the two have begun to decline.
Xu Wei weakly took down the clock and turned it to the back in his hand, and sure enough, there was a knob for adjustment.
He flicked the knob hard. Turn in a counterclockwise direction. Time begins to recede, and the air fills up!
Xu Wei dialed it three times, and sure enough, the two of them felt the suffocation in their chests disappear immediately. The air in the room is no longer cloudy and enough for people to breathe easily.
"Uncle, how did you come up with it?" Xu Wei asked Yan excitedly for self-reflection.
Yan Zizhi smiled and said, "Actually, I started thinking about it since you smashed these three things. Leave these things alone, they will recover on their own. But they don't heal themselves when you touch them, and the flow of time doesn't affect us, so I think the wall clock can affect the things in this house, like the flowers. But it doesn't affect us. ”
Yan Zizi paused and said, "The best explanation is that we have not become old or tired. The speed of this clock must have passed for several days, but the fact that we were neither tired nor hungry proved that we ourselves could not be controlled by it, so I wondered if we could also use ourselves to influence it. Now I can prove that my reasoning is correct. ”
"As long as you keep rotating this bell, the door will open by itself."
Sure enough, with Xu Wei's unremitting efforts, the door of the room opened. The two hurried out, and Xu Wei was still holding the wall clock in his hand.
"If you lose it, it's probably useless." Yan introspected casually.
Xu Wei looked at the wall clock in his arms, which was already tattered, which was what Yan looked like after he was broken.
