Chapter 76: Extra: Trapped Beasts (8)

The majesty that the bald man had built up in the first room was challenged in the second.

Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up this time was the long-haired 'girl' who looked soft and weak.

"In the previous room, it was confirmed that some things are really not used when solving puzzles, and this room is the same, there is no need to try every pavilion, adding unnecessary sacrifices."

The long-haired 'girl' held up the paper and angrily expressed her opinion. And the bald man shook his head indifferently, indicating that he would not adopt it.

But this time, others also plucked up the courage to voice their opposition.

The punk 'girl' was always at the forefront of exploration, and this time she was the first to make it to the new exit, then took a quick look around the pavilion and came back and wrote: "It stands to reason that only the key is enough, and the rest is of little significance." ”

Although it is not directly pointed out, it can be seen that it is also on the side of the long-haired 'girl'.

The man in the vest offered support from another angle, and he tried to go back to the previous room, but found that there was no obstruction. In other words, even if you find something in this room that can be used in the next level of puzzle solving, it stands to reason that you can go back and get it. Even if there is a sacrifice, it is not too late to deal with it. He also gave his opinion.

The bald man didn't use that simple and crude method this time, he rarely looked at everyone's opinions calmly, and his eyes were 'confused', as if he was thinking about a countermeasure.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that at this time, they were obviously afraid that they would have to step on the trap themselves, so they all stood up to protest one by one. Although the bald man can still try to suppress with violence, but violence is only a means after all, not an end, cripple one or two, that is called killing the 'chicken' monkey, if everyone is disabled, when there is a puzzle that requires teamwork, who can he command?

The so-called law does not control the people, and this is the truth.

So the bald man could only blush at this time, pretending to be impatient and continuing to look at their nonsense. On the one hand, he maintained his majesty and showed that he was quite dissatisfied with their transgressions; On the other hand, although he is dissatisfied but makes concessions, this can buy people's hearts to some extent, which can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness.

As for Amano and the thick-eyebrow man...... Although they are all the result of the bald man's hand, one of them is a one-armed man, the other is a one-eyed lame, basically only the part of dragging the 'legs', the team does not abandon them is humane, and they still want to participate in the decision-making discussion? How can it be!

The thick-eyed man looked like he had resigned himself to his fate, and he moved to the second room with the help of Amano and the long-haired 'girl', and then sat down by the wall in a dejected manner, continuing to bury his head between his knees and remain motionless.

And Amano took advantage of the fact that the others were still arguing, and hurriedly toured the pavilion in this room. Having lost one arm and his entire shoulder, his balance was difficult to adjust for a while, and he stumbled at first, falling a few times in the middle, but fortunately, Amano learned things very quickly, and by the time he reached the third pavilion, his gait had gradually returned to normal, and when he came back from this lap, he was walking at almost the same speed as before the injury.

This time, the room is the same as the previous one, and there are seven pavilions, corresponding to the following items and sacrifices:

1. The hidden objects are still paper and pen, and the price is still to break the thumb of a certain hand;

2. The hidden object is a key, and the price is to cut off one of the ears;

3. The hidden object is a lifebuoy, and the price is to cut off one side of the small 'leg';

4. The hidden object is an iron wrench, and the price is to stab one side of the big 'leg';

5. The hidden object is a pair of frogman flippers, and the price is to cut off from one side of the shoulder;

6. The hidden object is a 'base' bat, and the price is a stab wound to the abdomen;

7. The hidden object is a crutch at the cost of pulling out the kneecap on one foot.

From the compiled information, it can be seen that most of the injuries in the second room are on the feet, which is different from the focus in the first room.

However, it still has two things in common with the first room, one being a pavilion where paper and pens can be exchanged.

There was still paper and pen available in this room, and the price was the same as in the first room. Amano went in and took a look, the paper and pen were at least the same in appearance as the ones they had now, but he couldn't try it this time, after all, his left hand had been cut off, and he wouldn't even be able to hold the pen if he lost the thumb of his right hand.

And the other similarity is in the frogman flippers here. Although they don't seem to have anything in common with the 'base' cap in the first room at first glance (but Amano reckons that both are supposed to be items that don't help to clear the level), they come at the same cost of cutting off one shoulder, and this similarity is accidental? Or is there some deeper meaning? Amano can't figure this out yet.

Seeing that the argument over there was not over, he went to the exit to take a look again. The punk 'girl' was right, there was clearly an opening on the 'door' for people to just put their hands in. Amano leaned down and saw that there was a keyhole inside, presumably meaning that the big 'door' could be opened by simply 'inserting' the key in.

Although it is possible that the key does not open the 'door', but is a trap. But look at what else is in this room? Buoy? Frogman flippers? 'Sticks' bats and crutches? Is there a room that can open the door? It's possible that the wrench has something to do with opening the 'door', but Amano looked up and down, left and right, and found nothing to use.

(There are more items that are not useful this time...... )

Seeing Amano over there, he was walking back and sorting out his thoughts.

Strictly speaking, according to the puzzle solving method in the first room, there are actually many items that are not needed. First of all, the newcomer's guide has nothing to do with escape rooms, it's just a bonus mission. The 'base' cap is not currently of any use. Paper and pen have nothing to do with solving puzzles, but they are still necessary materials for communication. The 'spotlight' switch, the vanity mirror, and the code paper are all essential things to solve the puzzle. Although the map of the secret room was used just now, to be honest, it is not as good as it.

Even if you don't have a map, if you think that the light is a clue, and look at the vanity mirror you have at hand, you can easily think about the reflection of the light. In the whole room, the path of light was only closer to the small pavilion, and it was only there to 'shoot', and with a little care, they could still find the hook on the edge of the pavilion to hang the vanity mirror.

The existence of the map only speeds up the process.

(So, what I paid for a hand was nothing more than a dispensable item, and the item was set to be reobtainable, unlike important items like vanity mirrors and code paper?) )

The more Amano thought about it, the more strange it became, that such damage appeared again in the second room, and it corresponded to an item that could not be used for the time being. Aside from the fact that it and the apparently useful pen and paper, the damage in the other pavilions in the two rooms did not overlap at all, which made the repetition of "cut off one arm" particularly abrupt. Especially since this level of serious injury corresponds to items of little significance, and the damage and clues are not equivalent at all.

(This presumably means that in order to get a clue, the player needs to make sacrifices.) However, the more you sacrifice, the more your health and mobility will be affected, which will reduce the certainty of clearing the level. So the most important thing in this game should be to pick out the necessities of solving the puzzle at a minimum and avoid unnecessary sacrifices! )

He glanced at his bare shoulders, which were covered only with a thin layer of ice. Compared to the thick-eyebrow man whose foot bones were kicked and broken, he could still move with the team with his own strength, so that he would not be abandoned too easily. But that's all, once they encounter a truly critical situation, these people will not remember that he once sacrificed himself to get the puzzle item for them.

Amano knew that from the time he was asked to pick up the items, he had been treated like an outcast. Whether it was the bald man or the few other people who didn't stand up, they had already decided at the time that they would leave him behind at a critical moment.

(Normally, should you be "depressed" at this time?) Should it be "angry"? )

Amano thought to himself, but shook his head helplessly.

Even if he realized this, he still couldn't have a little 'wave' in his heart.
