CHAPTER XXII

The person in the room was Wang Zi.

Wang Zi seemed to have just woken up from his slumber, and at this time he was leaning over, shaking his head from side to side, as if he wanted to wake up faster.

"Wang Zi?" Xiao Mo called him at this time, and when he heard Xiao Mo's voice, Wang Zi also looked over here, and when he saw the familiar figure, he immediately stood up from the ground.

"Captain!" Seeing Xiao Mo, Wang Zi seemed very excited and happy, and walked over with his feet dragging the chains.

"It's great you're okay, by the way, why are you here?" Xiao Mo couldn't wait to ask.

Wang Zi scratched his head, as if he suddenly thought of something, and saw that his originally excited face suddenly became very ugly. Seeing this, Xiao Mo asked suspiciously:

"What, is something wrong?"

Wang Zi gritted his teeth and hesitated, and finally explained to Xiao Mo what happened to him and Mu Xue in the previous room.

After hearing this, Xiao Mo's body shook suddenly, and he retreated several steps backwards uncontrollably, if Wang Zi hadn't stopped him in time, he would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Don't be kidding, how can Mu Xue be in trouble."

Xiao Mo didn't quite believe Wang Zi's words, or that he didn't dare to accept this reality, he looked at Wang Zi with an ugly smile, praying in his heart that Wang Zi could say to him that Mu Xue didn't have anything, and what he said just now was just a joke.

It's just that things are not as beautiful as he imagined, Wang Zi lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes:

"I'm sorry Captain, I know this news is very cruel to you, but that's what it is...... Mu Xue, she is no more. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Mo's face immediately disappeared, and his eyes instantly turned red, and he wanted to confirm it with Wang Zi again, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say them because he was choked.

Wang Zi knew the relationship between Xiao Mo and Mu Xue, and also knew that the old people at that time were only Mu Xue and Li Shuai. Therefore, it was difficult for him to say any words of comfort, not only that, but he was also afraid that Xiao Mo would be angry with him because of Mu Xue's death. After all, if you say it strictly, he has a certain responsibility for Mu Xue's death.

"Team...... Captain, I am also very sad for Mu Xue's death. She died to save me, and I had the power to survive with her, but I didn't. ”

Xiao Mo put his hands on his knees and eased for a long time, and then asked Wang Zi a little weakly:

"I want to know the details of this!"

Wang Zi nodded guiltily, and described what happened to Xiao Mo at that time, when Xiao Mo heard Mu Xue's last words. Xiao Mo's tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

Mu Xue is actually very good in his heart, although sometimes she is very willful, but her person is really good and considerate to everyone. In fact, he didn't blame Mu Xue at all for her treatment of Xinyan, because he knew in his heart that if it were him and Li Shuai, Mu Xue would be the same, or even worse.

Other than that. She and Li Shuai are still the pistachios among them, although every time she and Li Shuai quarrel, he yells that he is annoying, but he is extremely happy in his heart. It can even make him forget for a short time, which is in the curse.

And now, that lively and cheerful girl has died here in vain, this damn curse!

He really regretted it. I'm sorry too, he had promised her to live together and get out of here together.

"Mu Xue ......"

Mu Xue's sweet and kind face. Still stuck in his mind, clearly visible.

Compared with himself, I'm afraid the most difficult thing to accept will be Li Shuai, for Mu Xue's feelings, to be honest, he is far inferior to Li Shuai. This is not his delusion, Li Shuai does have extraordinary feelings for Mu Xue, maybe that kind of feeling is called - like.

Because once in private, he half-jokingly asked Li Shuai if he really liked Mu Xue. At that time, Li Shuai's answer was a little ambiguous, because he said that Mu Xue was very similar to his dead fiancée in terms of appearance and personality.

He didn't know if he had a good impression of Mu Xue because of this, or if he was simply attracted to Mu Xue as a person, in short, he had to protect her even if he risked his life.

Xiao Mo didn't have any friends, and his only Fa Xiao died in that incident, so Li Shuai was his only friend in the world, and he could even be said to be a brother. He is suspicious and his personality is not so good, but Li Shuai has been born and died for him many times without asking for anything in return, so he has the right to protect the people that Li Shuai values.

Because of this, he will be very special to Mu Xue, and try to protect her with the abilities they can make. But in the end, they still failed to protect her properly.

"Whew...... Call......! ”

Xiao Mo took a few deep breaths with difficulty, and he tried his best to suppress the sadness in his heart. Because he knew in his heart that the loss of his friend was certainly worth grieving, but it was not now, but later, when he escaped from here completely.

And now all he has to do is get out of here with all his might. He will not let Mu Xue die in vain, he will take Mu Xue's hope, live tenaciously with Li Shuai and them, and then find a way...... Completely crush this damn curse!

Xiao Mo waved his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then regained his previous composure. Seeing that Xiao Mo suppressed his sadness in time, Wang Zi was happy and admired Xiao Mo's perseverance even more.

And at this time, the puppet's terrifying face was once again revealed on the TV:

"I'm glad you're here in Room 1, where you're going to be put to the test, and you'll need to open your chains within the time limit to survive.

When the chains are opened, the hidden door will open on its own, and if after fifteen minutes the chains are not opened, then the mechanism in the center of the chains will open on its own, and the arrows fired from it will turn your body into a sieve.

Right now...... The countdown begins. ”

The TV screen fell into darkness again, Xiao Mo and Wang Zi both subconsciously glanced at the timer on their wrists, and the fifteen-minute countdown had begun.

Xiao Mo did not panic because of this, but focused his attention on the observation of this room again, as the puppet said, he did not find the door at any end of the room. In the room, apart from the iron mesh that stretched upwards at one end and spread over their heads, there was only a rusty table that was placed in the corner of the wall. On this table, there are two handsaws that glow with cold light.

After seeing this, Xiao Mo said to himself:

"It seems that the puppet wanted us to cut off our hands and feet so that we could free ourselves from the chains."

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo looked up at the layer of barbed wire that shrouded them, and in that layer of barbed wire there was a key faintly hanging:

"Or maybe it's for us to climb up the wire and get the key to it.

Choose one of two options to either die or maim you. ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wang Zi looked up ugly, and sure enough, he saw a key in the barbed wire. In addition, he also noticed the saw mentioned by Xiao Mo earlier, and it seems that this is indeed a dilemma.

"This may just be a trap, like the one Mu Xue and I encountered in the last room."

The so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom, after being a pawn once, Wang Zi also learned to be smart this time to try to use brute force to open the lock, and called Xiao Mo to help him together. But unfortunately, the two of them spent a lot of effort, it can be said that they used all the strength of milk, but they still failed to shake the iron chain.

It seems that if the lock on the iron bar does not use a key, I am afraid that it will not be opened at all.

Wang Zi began to circle around the room unconvinced, trying to find other opportunities to open the lock, he was well aware of the puppet's cunning, maybe it was another false hint to their habits of thought.

Xiao Mo also felt that whether it was self-harm with a handsaw or climbing on those iron nets covered with sharp triangular thorns, his behavior was no different from sending him to death, so he also felt that maybe this was not the way.

He had already learned that the puppet would use his habitual thinking to make false hints, and at that time, the puppet had hinted at letting him kill the man in the cage next door with the button. Fortunately, he was in control at the time, otherwise the three people in the cage next door would die, then the double lock of the cage was destined to only be opened once, and his fate would be self-evident.

And the situation brought by Wang Zi is also roughly the same as his experience, so it can be seen from these that the puppet's hint is not a hint in the real sense, but a malicious hint and misleading.

Capture the habits of the human mind, use the environment it deliberately creates, and then give some highly suggestive reminders and, of course, a timer that can confuse people's minds.

I have to say that it is really easy to combine these to induce one person, or several people. It's really scary, and it's hard to prevent it.

However, he and Wang Zi both belong to the rational category, and Wang Zi has also experienced a painful lesson before, so it is difficult for puppets to achieve any effect by playing with them again.

Provided that it doesn't change its way this time. (To be continued......)
