After Zhen Shifeng opened his eyes, a sense of coolness and horror arose. The dimly lit room was filled with an inexplicable stench, the crumbling old-fashioned chandelier made a creaking and rattling sound, and the surroundings were all dark, and only the dim yellow light was barely comforting.

"It's a strange place." Zhen Shifeng sighed helplessly, but a series of words suddenly appeared in front of him, and a mechanical and dull female voice sounded in his ears.

[Game ID: It's crazy; Game Level: Temporarily locked; Game Title: None]

[HP: 500; Stamina: 1000; Natural Attribute Value: Temporarily Locked】

[Welcome to the "Hall of Spooky" beginner mode, you can choose to continue the game or return to the previous menu]

"Nonsense, I've come here, how can I have a reason to retreat?" As soon as Zhen Shifeng's consciousness moved, the option of 'continue to play' lit up with a red light.

[Neural coordination is in progress, holographic scanning projection begins, and the script is expanding, please be patient and wait for ......]

With the advancement of the rotating progress bar, Zhen Shifeng saw that his body gradually transformed from the original translucent state into an entity, and the sense of smell and the five senses of the human body were also generated through the neural coordination system, in other words, in addition to the sense of pain, the senses of taste, touch, smell and other senses in the game will be 100% simulated the real situation of the human body in reality. Sure enough, after the scanning projection ended, the stench in the room instantly became more pungent, and although Zhen Shifeng covered his mouth and nose for the first time, he was still choked coldly. It didn't matter, the number in the health column suddenly dropped from 500 to 450, and there was a yellow warning for chronic poisoning attached to it.

[The script generation is over, and you have entered the beginner's entry script "Escape Room"]

【Cutscene CG Yet】

[Main Quest: Survive and Escape the Secret Room]

[Poison Reminder: Chronic poisoning will reduce your health by 5% per minute, you can choose to use an antidote or a panacea for detoxification]

[The tip is over, good luck next]

"Why is 'good luck' used here full of malice?" After the system prompt ended, Zhen Shifeng couldn't help but spit out, and at the same time carefully observed the whole room.

It was a very ordinary brick and stone house, and if there was anything out of the ordinary, it was only the fact that the entire wall on the right side was made into a mirror that reflected the whole house. Aside from the mirrored walls and chandeliers, there was a pink handkerchief and a small vanity mirror on the empty floor.

Mirrored walls, chandeliers, handkerchiefs, vanity mirrors, these are all the items given in this script, but these things are not the 'keys' that can be used to leave this secret room, not to mention that this secret room does not even have doors and windows or other exits, in other words, even if the script gives you a real key, you can't use it, because you can't find the corresponding keyhole in the room.

Of course, Zhen Shifeng, who was affected by occupational diseases, would not limit his vision to this, and he instantly came up with dozens of possibilities to leave the secret room in his mind. For example, if you smash a mirror wall, there may be a door behind the mirror, or if you touch all the walls around you with your hand, you may be able to find a mechanism to leave the room, etc.

Although the above conjectures have a certain possibility, combined with the characteristics of puzzle games, if you want to successfully leave the secret room, I am afraid you must use the handkerchiefs and vanity mirrors provided by the script.

Thinking of this, Zhen Shifeng decisively picked up the pink handkerchief on the ground, and a string of explanatory text also emerged:

[Item Name: Pink Handkerchief]

[Grade: Normal]

[Function: Covering your mouth and nose can reduce the interference of a certain smell]

[Is it possible to bring out the script: No]

[Notes: There is no doubt that the owner of this handkerchief must be a quiet beautiful man.] Thinking of the beauty Lori or something, quickly give me a face to the wall to think about it. 】

"You should have thought about it on the wall, this note is simply ruined." Zhen Shifeng directly ignored this remark of ruining the discipline, and at the same time tied the handkerchief tightly around his neck and on his face, just enough to cover his mouth and nose, so that he could free up one hand and find things more conveniently. It's just that the chronic poison warning next to his survival value has not been removed, and his health is still decreasing at a rate of 5% per minute. As a result, if Zhen Shifeng can't complete the task within twenty minutes, then this novice training will be declared a failure, which is undoubtedly a huge irony for a detective whose purpose is to 'solve puzzles and answer questions, be fearless, clear the fog, and find the truth'.

That's right, 25-year-old Zhen Shifeng is a well-known and well-known private detective in real life. But this is not because of his case-solving skills and investigation skills, but because of his extremely strange and elusive behavior, he has been in the limelight, and even in the newspapers.

For example, when he saw a little Lori with ice cream in his hand in the park, Zhen Shifeng did not hesitate to talk to him, and the ice cream would fall into his hand ten seconds later. Or maybe you're sitting on a park bench drinking a can of coffee, and this weirdo will not hesitate to snatch the can from your hand and throw it in the trash.

Don't believe it, these things did happen. When questioned by the park security guards, Zhen Shifeng also put on a very casual appearance, explaining his behavior as "I need to replenish sugar all the time" and "I hate coffee".

There are countless such strange behaviors, in the words of Zhen Shifeng, that is, "Why should life be restrictive, you should learn to be casual".

However, what is the reason why such an unrestrained weird detective does not solve his 'lollipop theft' case, but instead comes to play such a suspenseful puzzle action game that is still in closed beta?

This thing is also strange, just two days ago one night, just when Zhen Shifeng was worried about the food expenses for the next week, a strange email was inexplicably sent to his email. The reason why it is weird is that there are only 12 big words in this email: "Entrust delivery, accept gifts, meet and talk". As for the 'gift' mentioned in the email, it was delivered by courier the next day, that is, the latest game pod produced by Sky, and it is also a limited edition exclusive to "Hall of Spooks". Zhen Shifeng deliberately checked the sender on the express delivery list, but it turned out to be a strange name called 'vodka'.

People who work as detectives have one thing in common, that is, they are very curious, and Zhen Shifeng is no exception. In order to be able to understand this rather mysterious commission in advance, he decided to experience the holographic projection virtual game developed by Sky in 2025.

More on the game and Sky later, so let's get back to the game.

As time passed, Zhen Shifeng's health had lost nearly 20%, but he was still fiddling with the beautifully decorated vanity mirror, as if he wanted to find some valuable clues from it.

[Item Name: Vanity Mirror]

[Grade: Normal]

[Function: You can shine on something you didn't expect]

[Is it possible to bring out the script: No]

[Note: Do you want to be a quiet beautiful man?] Do you want to be pampered all in one? Red diamond vanity mirror, you deserve it]

"Don't 1000, don't 2000, just 998, and the red diamond vanity mirror can be taken home." Zhen Shifeng added a sentence to this undisciplined note in time, but the functional description of the item suddenly caught his attention, "I have seen something unexpected, is it ......" As he spoke, he looked back at the huge mirror wall, and couldn't help but wonder: "Since there is a big mirror in this room, why do you prepare this small vanity mirror for me?" ”

At this time, a strange conjecture suddenly popped up in Zhen Shifeng's head, to say that the use of two mirrors is also common in daily life, which is nothing more than to observe the blind spots behind him that are difficult to look at directly through the images reflected between the two mirrors. Thinking of this, he stood under the chandelier with his back to the mirror wall, holding the dressing mirror in front of him, so that he could observe the situation of his back through the mirror reflected in the mirror wall. However, unexpectedly, the self that appeared in the vanity mirror showed a strange translucent state, and directly opposite himself was the phantom of half of the safe.

"Sure enough, there's something wrong." Zhen Shifeng excitedly tilted the vanity mirror to the right slightly, and the image of the entire safe was undoubtedly revealed in the mirror, not only that, but in the actual room, a safe that was exactly the same as in the mirror suddenly appeared, and through the dim light, the box was covered with a large number of brown blood stains.

For a while, Zhen Shifeng gradually changed from excitement just now to nervousness, not because he was afraid of these terrible blood stains, but because his boring brain made up the scene that there was a terrifying human head inside after opening the safe, and anyone else couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"It seems that these two mirrors can reflect objects in the room that didn't exist originally, and I don't know if there are other things in the room." Although Zhen Shifeng wanted to use the vanity mirror to carefully explore the entire room, the remaining 50% of his health forced him to suppress his curiosity. For now, finding a way to open this safe is the priority.

But at this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of metal colliding above the room, although the sound was small, but it could be infinitely amplified in this empty and silent secret room, and the crumbling old-fashioned chandelier began to shake violently after the sound, and puffs of dust fell to the ground.

"Hehe, is this a precursor to a haunting?" The corners of Zhen Shifeng's mouth twitched suddenly, and the dressing mirror in his hand tilted slightly upward.

A woman's face with a pale face, hollow eyes, rotten lips, and exposed gums was suddenly reflected in the red-blooded vanity mirror at the corner.
