Volume 2: "The Secret House of the Dead" 01.

In a hall the size of an opera house.

Thousands of screens hang on the wall in the middle of the front, showing pictures of various complex terrains such as walkways, secret rooms, jungles, and caves. If you put all the scenes up there, you can see that they are exactly the same as the simulated topographic map below in the center of the hall.

To be precise, every picture on the screen is only a part of the details.

At the very center of the topographic map is a large, boxy, enclosed mansion, supported by many massive columns, with long walkways and massive chambers in all directions, with dense jungles, intricate caverns, crooked waterways, and secret chambers filled with moving mechanisms.

A little further afield, a fork in the road began to appear. They run through some of the rooms that are only medium in size compared to the former, and if you look closely, you can see that there are many living objects moving in them, as if waiting for the necessary way to the center. At the end, these branches branch off into branches that connect smaller rooms to terminate.

To use a figurative point metaphor, this topographic map resembles four forks with branching ends on a square dinner plate.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is on the mechanical sound that reverberates through the hall.

"Standby standby death secret room program starts, power supply from the minimum standard increased by 20%, 23%, 25%, cage open personnel in place, please pay attention to all departments, access to the main program, the program is connected, the last three minutes of the official operation, the countdown starts 2 minutes 59 seconds, 2 minutes 55 seconds"

As the countdown time became shorter and shorter, many men and women like scientific researchers were hurriedly making the last preparations.

In addition to the people above and below the rear stands, who basically adjusted the various instrument programs, in the hundreds of soundproof rooms that surround the central topographic map in a semicircle, a total of 120 followers have also connected the video footage in front of them to their respective small rooms, and began to test the microphone in advance for the recording.

"The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky are in the Beidou, hey, hey

After trying out the sound quality, the countdown was almost over.

Seeing that the body index represented on the left of the display screen had reached its peak, one hundred and twenty people put their mouths in front of the microphone in unison, and when they heard the bell ringing at the end of the day, they pressed a red button in front of them and said together: "Welcome to the cage of death, are you willing to hand over your fate to someone else, or be the most courageous and wise warrior!" ”

…………

"It's a brutal game that is struggling to the death, and when you sign those non-disclosure agreements, you become a gamer that we choose and are allowed to participate in."

"The room where you are trapped now is a confined space, there is only one closed exit, the oxygen in it can only keep you alive for an hour, you must find the magnetic card that can open that door during this time, of course, we have set a small difficulty for you, you need to think of a way to free yourself from the shackles on your body first, in order to find the only life that keeps you alive in this room."

The sound in the room continued, and Chen Xi opened his eyes and looked around.

After listening to two paragraphs, he made a small discovery. The sound was heard directly in the room, not from some connected device, or more accurately, it seemed to be transmitted by the silver-white metal wall itself. And behind this content is another problem, the other party has a way to see his movements.

"What do you use to monitor my movements?" Chen Xi asked suspiciously.

The room in front of him is actually very empty, the roof is eight meters high from the ground, and the length and width are six or seven meters, except for all kinds of furniture and appliances with a slightly futuristic technological style, it is almost unobstructed, and its light source is directly the walls themselves, and the brightness emitted is about the same as the afternoon sunlight shining obliquely from the sandy window, which is not dazzling but illuminates every part of the room, but he does not see obvious traces of probes.

"Do you know, very few people will ask me this question at the beginning, most of the participants are more confused and nervous, there are very few calm people like you, and a small number of smart people are mostly concerned about how to talk to me to untie the shackles on my body and find the magnetic card, as a very small special case, I think I can answer your question."

"Although the camera here has adopted the latest technology and can be integrated into the metal wall, it still has to follow the principle of refraction and focus in order to collect the image, so the position is in the diagonal center of the three walls, there are four in total. Also, as a foresight of your performance, I can attach an important piece of advice, if you want to live a little longer than others, or even survive to the last minute, then don't be clever, the best thing you should do is to let these cameras capture all your actions, and then perform better. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xi instinctively froze in his heart. From the change in the intonation of this voice and the accent of some words, he felt that the other party was not just talking casually, but really related to his life and death.

Chen Xi never simply relied on a certain ability, he felt that he could conquer the world, and after skillfully using the ability to check emotions, he also kept practicing another way to distinguish the emotions of others. He tried to compare the various changes in the voice of others when he spoke according to the type of emotion he saw, and after a long period of exercise, if it was not for the other party's deliberate control and concealment, he would be able to distinguish the other party's emotions when speaking.

And the man's reaction at the time was cautious and serious.

"Xie Lu Xie, then may I ask, can I move now?"

Chen Xi said with a smile, for people who are not hostile, he has always been reluctant to show his kindness, although as long as the people who have been with him don't think so, some are better than nothing. As long as it's not the kind of Long Aotian who wants to make countless enemies, everyone knows the way, and there is definitely no harm in being pretty.

"That's no problem, the high-activity nutrient solution injected into you has restored your physical condition to its peak, and it can last for twelve hours, you are completely free to start your survival journey In addition, if there are no other requirements and problems, I will not take the initiative to talk to you again, unless it is a key time to clear the customs and important things, now, good luck."

As soon as the sound in the room stopped, Chen Xi immediately tried to struggle a few times, and sure enough, he found that the state of his body had recovered to its best, and it was not stiff and numb after being frozen for a long time, but was full of explosive power.

"Such a nice thing"

Chen Xi was surprised. In order not to expose that he was not unconscious, he had not moved, but felt a stream of heat flowing in his body, soothing those paralyzed nerves and muscles. But he never imagined that in just a few minutes, his body would be intact.

Under normal circumstances, frostbite takes at least half an hour for the body to recover, and in advance, it is necessary to warm up, not to mention the miraculous thing of having recovered to peak condition and staying in it for twelve hours. If possible, he would definitely bring some back.

However, Chen Xi's attention now is still on how to get rid of these shackles that trapped him.

After all, for most people, an hour is not too short, but not too long, plus you have to find a small magnetic card in this large room, so this little time may not be enough.
