Imagine you're in a quiet room, reading a novel intently.

Suddenly, the locked door to the room was opened, but the dark hallway outside the door was empty.

Or rather, the pen on the table that had not been moving for a long time suddenly rolled to the ground with a loud noise.

Or, the lights in the room start to flicker more than once.

Fear.

There is no doubt that fear arises when people encounter things that they cannot understand, and phenomena that are difficult to explain with common sense.

Fear, on the other hand, can make people lose their minds.

However, none of the above can be compared to the sudden collapse of the water glass, the water in the cup coincidentally spilled on the computer, and the manuscript in the computer was not saved, the screen was black, and there were less than two hours left before the deadline, which was terrifying!

Yu Zhao looked at the handwriting on the note.

The first sentence is: "Remember, you're the only one in the room!" 】

Stifling a smile, he looked down.

[No matter who you are, be sure to follow the instructions above after seeing this piece of paper, because then it is possible to escape!] 】

[1. It is forbidden to speculate on the time, there are clocks everywhere in the house, if you want to know the time, please look up at it, the time on the clock is accurate. Never speculate on the time, don't speculate, even if you've just looked at the clock! 】

[2. It is useless to send information to the outside world, all information will only be intercepted by it (red marked) and seen! ] 】

[3. The time to enter the kitchen is from 6 to 7 in the morning, from 12 to 1 at noon, and from 5 to 6 in the evening. Don't go into the kitchen at any other time, or you'll hear a knock on your door at night! 】

[4. When there is a knock on the door at night in violation of Article 3, please ██ be sure to open the door!] 】

[5. It's safe in bed!] 】

[6. It is dangerous to go to bed during the day! 】

[7. If you find that the door has just closed/opened, the state changes, or the static item suddenly moves, be sure to lie down on the bed immediately! Pretend to sleep with your back to the door! Don't turn around no matter what happens! 】

[8. Don't care about those anomalies! 】

[9. After an abnormality occurs, please be sure to put all items back in place as much as possible!] 】

[10. The TV can be turned on, but never watch it for more than an hour!] 】

……

[17. The time of the clock in each room should be the same, with three hands, which are hours, minutes, and seconds, and never four or two! 】

[18. In all rooms, there should be only 60 scales on each clock! 】

[19. There is only one clock in each room! 】

[20. If there is an incident that violates Articles 17, 18, and 19, be sure to find a corner where you can see two clocks, crouch down and look at the two clocks, and wait for them to become one again! 】

Twenty recommendations, of which the third, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth of them all stipulate the time to enter the different rooms.

Once violated, something will knock on the door at night!

Time is of the essence in this room!

"It's a very shoddy trick, but it's very useful."

Yu Zhao took a sip of orange juice to suppress his urge to laugh.

When he calmly read the above twenty suggestions, he judged with great certainty that these so-called suggestions were written by the "it" on the note, that is, the virtual monster.

Disguised as the advice of the predecessors, to mislead and deceive the people who came to this space into falling into the deep space, and finally make people completely out of control.

The reason is very simple, this false monster is exposed from the first sentence.

What does it mean that I am the only one in the house?

There were at least four people in the room, although I couldn't see any of them.

But this is precisely to set the stage for recommendations 8 and 9.

Anomaly.

What is an anomaly?

Just like the sound of the refrigerator just now, from the perspective of a normal person, it is undoubtedly an abnormal situation, the refrigerator will not make such a noise in the normal world, let alone the neatly stacked food, which only becomes chaotic after a short time, and even a lot less.

However, for myself who knows the truth, this is not abnormal, I just can't see those people.

But these suggestions do not prove them wrong.

Some of the recommendations are accurate, such as the time limit for each room.

But as the saying goes, the most clever deception is to mix a little falsehood in the myriad of truths.

These falsehoods are the key!

"It's too easy to tell the difference, and deliberately left such an obvious clue!"

This is what Yu Zhao thinks is inferior, and this is the IQ of the virtual monster.

As for being easy to use, it is because it cleverly exploits the human psyche.

As far as the eye can see, the whole rule emphasizes two words - time.

Both the time allowed to enter the various rooms and the clock as a carrier of time are emphasized several times.

Yu Zhao thinks that all of the above are in the service of the first rule, that is, [don't speculate on time]!

This is supposed to be a behavior that will really make people lose their minds, gradually fall into madness, and fall into deep space.

Many people have the habit of speculating on the time in reality, for example, when cooking rice and stir-frying, they will estimate the time, and what steps to take in about a few minutes.

Or look at your phone in the morning and think about getting a few more minutes of sleep.

Although they don't care, in fact these actions fall into the realm of time speculation.

Acting naturally, it is difficult to restrain yourself.

Moreover, humanity is a race that the more emphasis is placed, the more it has to be violated. Things you don't know you don't know abound.

Among them, one of the most classic cases...... Don't put the bulb in your mouth!

As a light-emitting object whose role is not to enter, it was not considered that someone would be idle enough to stuff it into its mouth at the beginning of development, probably because of this reason, there was no design that could be pulled out.

But the reality is that there are countless people who want to try the consequences.

What's more, they sniffed out business opportunities and made a light bulb for people to try.

[Don't speculate on the time]

Yu Zhao thought that he could get used to it, but he didn't need to deliberately follow it.

Taking a sip of orange juice, he put the note in his pocket.

In the future, Yu Zhao has also personally dealt with many such incidents.

According to the summary, although the loss of control will inevitably lead to entering the deep space created by the virtual monster, the necessary condition for entering the deep space is not the loss of control.

It's about breaking those rules.

The deep space is even more abundant. Time and space can be distorted, and the Void will also take advantage of the weakness of human will to create illusions, using fear to continue to affect reason. Many investigators get lost in the depths of space

But Yu Zhao's reason, this level of virtual monster can't be shaken.

"Now, just wait for the virtual monster to knock on my door at night!"
