Since Lu Yu said that he wanted to simulate the actions of the imprisoned, Catherine obediently squatted down next to the secret passage, raised her head and blinked her eyes and asked, "And then?" ”

"Then you'll have to observe for yourself."

Lu Yu couldn't cry or laugh. He closed his eyes and imagined that the person who was crouching there now was himself, and said what was in his heart in a very soothing tone: "Imagine that you have been locked up here for a long, long time. One day, you happened to find a metal lid under the 'bed', you knocked on it, and found that it was empty underneath, so you judged that it was a secret passage, and your heart rekindled hope...... Come on, knock it. ”

"Do you really want to knock?" Catherine frowned, "It feels so stupid. ”

"Knock." Lu Yu did not give in, like a strict director.

Catherine was helpless, clenched her fist and gently tapped the metal lid a few times. Sure enough, the lid made an empty 'sway' sound, indicating the fact that there was nothing underneath, and of course it could just be a storage compartment, but for a person who has been locked up for a long time, he will only think that this is the exit to the free world. Catherine was startled, stood up, looked left and right, first at the 'door', and then at the monitor.

She hesitated, then carefully moved the bed back to its original position, covering the entrance to the secret passage.

"Well done." Lu Yu appreciated. He hadn't expected Catherine to get into the groove so quickly. What she had just done was exactly what a prisoner would have done. After discovering the secret passage, her first reaction was not to continue to study how to unlock the combination lock, but to see if her actions had been discovered, and reset the 'bed' before thinking about it. Catherine just played this process from surprise to panic to calmness.

"And then?" Catherine said coldly, "I don't think I'll know what to do next." ”

Lu Yu also substituted himself into the horn 'color' at this time...... After discovering the secret passage and resetting the 'bed', what questions would you think about if it were you......

"Why is there a secret passage here...... bar. Lu Yu came to a conclusion.

It's nice to have a secret passage in a place where you're imprisoned, but when you calm down and think about it, you can't help but wonder why. The biggest doubt is, could this so-called secret passage be a tool used by "that person" to test himself? Didn't you find this 'hole' when you set up the cell?

Lu Yu jumped out of the prisoner's horn 'color', turned around and jumped into the horn 'color' on the other side.

"Now I'm the bad guy, yes, I'm sure I know the secret way, after all, I set up the room. But this secret passage may not have been dug by me, or it may have been there when I took over the room, and at most I just added a combination lock and made it my own. ”

Lu Yu decided not to dwell on the issue of the secret passage. The conclusion is nothing more than a way to the outside or to a room inside, and from the point of view, either way, the situation must be moved.

"Then, 'I' used the combination lock to play games on the imprisoned person, and naturally I also anticipated the doubts that the other party might have. If I think like that, the other person will probably not take action, and I won't be able to achieve my goals. What will I do to prevent this......"

Lu Yu's fingers tapped lightly on his forehead a few times: "The key is to let the other party focus on where he wants." ”

"What do you mean?" Catherine was puzzled.

"When you focus on one thing, it's easy to lose sight of something else, and it's easy to believe what you want to believe. Therefore, if he has developed trust in the first step of what is in front of him, he is likely to go all the way in this direction without doubting anything else. So the key to this design is how to hook his trust in the first step. ”

Lu Yu stood in the murderer's horn 'color' at this time, and then jumped forward, using this horn 'color' to speculate on the prisoner's thoughts.

"For a lonely prisoner, a sympathetic character can undoubtedly break his psychological defense, which is why many military agents will use undercover agents to break into their prisons to obtain information. Here, the murderer himself can neither nor be willing to play such a role, nor can he find someone who meets the requirements and is loyal enough. So, he needed to rely on something else......"

Catherine's eyes lit up: "It's a message!" ”

"Yes," Lu Yu nodded, "The most convenient thing is to forge a message from the previous victim, which can not only give the other party hope of survival, but also dispel his suspicions." The most important message of this message is to explain the reason for the existence of the secret passage in a preconceived notion, and at the same time give a hint of finding the password. ”

Catherine nodded excitedly, but then frowned again: "But going around and around, it's not back to the question of 'finding'." We couldn't find the password, and we didn't know where the message would be......"

Lu Yu said confidently: "No, the password is really clueless now, but I probably have an idea of where to leave a message." Come, you go to bed. ”

"That's it? It's dirty, it's stinking! ”

"Isn't this about escaping...... Come, lie down first. Lu Yu persuaded with good words.

When Catherine was lying down, he instructed the other side to look inside the wall. It didn't matter what she looked at, Catherine had closed her eyes with bated breath, but as soon as her eyes opened, she immediately let out an exclamation, and she was not afraid of inhaling a little sour air again.

"The message is here!" Catherine exclaimed.

"Yes, you see, I didn't lie to you."

"Just tell me no......"

Lu Yu shook his head: "If you point it out directly, you don't have to lie down to see it." If I'm not mistaken, this message should have been written in the form of lying down, and the whole text should be deflected by 90 degrees. ”

Catherine turned her head and glared at the monitor fiercely, and said angrily, "Yes, you are really clever. ”

"Whatever is written, read it slowly, and try to read the words clearly."

"Okay, listen to your ......," Catherine squinted at the writing on the wall. The messages were all written in pencil, and there was a small section of pencil hidden in the inner slit of the 'bed', the tip of which had been written very blunt, and most of it was used. In order to convince the imprisoned that this was what the previous victim had left behind, the killer deliberately put a little blood on the pencil pen to increase its persuasiveness. Coupled with the shallow text on the wall, if it weren't for Lu Yu's previous analysis, Catherine felt that she would not hesitate to accept what the other party wanted her to think of.

And that passage goes like this:

If you read this, please don't behave abnormally, as this is the only way you can get out of here.

I'm Dominic McGuire, the original owner of this house. I was about to retire but was attacked by political opponents, and I had to retire from politics and build a villa in this wilderness to live a secluded life. A year ago, I hired a young man, Antonio Williams, to act as my servant, helping me with chores, buying basic supplies, etc. He looked like a simple and reliable young man, a talent I had found in a nearby town, and although he hadn't read much, he had a very smart mind and kept his daily life in order. But I didn't expect that it was this person who hurt me in the end!

For several months, I played the role of an ordinary retired old man in front of him. I have no job, I have some savings, my children and grandchildren are far away from me, and I live on regular monthly remittances, and I have 'handed over' most of this remittance to Antonio to take care of, and I don't seem to have anything else to dig into. However, he was more observant than I could have imagined, and despite my good disguise, he detected something and finally managed to find out who I really was.

In order to find my hidden wealth, he transformed my basement into a torture room, and every day he tried to pry something out of my mouth in various ways. Because I've been living in seclusion, I don't think anyone in the neighborhood will find out about my disappearance, and I'll have to rely on myself if I want to escape. Thankfully, he added something to the basement when he renovated it, but he didn't touch the 'bed', and naturally he didn't know that there was a secret passage under the 'bed'.

In the process of imprisoning me, I felt that his 'sexuality' personality gradually changed. His beatings and brutality were no longer just to ask me about his wealth, but more to satisfy his own 'lust' for blood. Maybe I'm witnessing the birth of a perverted murderer, and if this continues, there will be other victims.

But I couldn't do anything about it.

Recently, my injured foot is finally healing and I can finally do some simple climbing movements or jump in pain. In the past few days, I have vaguely heard the sound of him frequently driving out, probably thinking about something. I don't know, but it's my best chance to escape. If there are really latecomers, when you see this paragraph, please run, run! Don't stay! It's dangerous here!

Finally, if you see this line. Antonio Williams! I curse you! I will curse you with all the time of the rest of my life! Burned to ashes in the karmic fires of hell!
