Chapter 191 The Hourglass Elevator┃"Couldn't this be really a...buried alive trap?"
"Hourglass elevator?" Lianhua Qingyi walked in front of the huge hourglass, walked around the transparent hourglass wall, and found no signs of the elevator at all, "There are no floors, no buttons, and no doors. Are you sure this thing is an elevator? "
In fact, you don’t need to go that close. Most of the passers-by can see clearly from where they stand now. It is a giant hourglass enlarged one by one. The transparent glass cover and the fine sand that keeps falling are its entire structure. element.
"Huh?" Qing Yise, who was groping on the outer wall of the hourglass, suddenly found that as long as the palm of the hand was in contact with the wall of the hourglass, purple light would appear from the contact surface.
When he raised his hand, the purple light disappeared, and when he touched it again, the purple light appeared again.
After repeating it several times, he tentatively patted the wall of the hourglass hard. Unexpectedly, the moment he slapped it, his hand passed through the transparent wall strangely in the purple light.
Qing Yise was caught off guard, with a flash of his body, half of his body passed through the transparent wall and entered the hourglass, and he was still standing outside the hourglass from the waist down, looking like a person who had penetrated halfway through the wall.
Qing Yishi was startled and didn't dare to move for a long time.
Edogawa, who was rising every step of the way, understood a little bit, and joked happily: "Aren't you looking for the door? Congratulations, you succeeded."
At this time, all of them also realized that this [hourglass elevator] should belong to the "sensing traversal type".
No time to pay attention to Edogawa, he took a step forward and finally entered the hourglass.
A steady stream of fine sand fell from above, hitting him all over his head and face.All of them spat out the sand in their mouths with a "peh peh" and quickly moved to the side of the hourglass, avoiding the center.As soon as I stood up again, I heard a "ding——"
<Cheat Sheet>: Welcome to [Hourglass Elevator].This is the 6/10 checkpoint. Every time you enter, you need to deduct <[Special] I am a VIP>. Quantity: 1.After this deduction, your <[Special] I am a VIP>, the remaining quantity: 9.
"Hurry up and come in," Qingyi waved the <cheat sheet> on his arm, and greeted everyone who was still watching, "It is indeed a checkpoint, not a trap, I have already been detained as 'I am a VIP'—"
With the first one to eat crabs, everyone is completely relieved, but the 6/10 admission ticket <[Special] I am a VIP> is nothing to look at, but when the six words "I am a VIP" are shouted out, I always feel that I am surrendering to an organization.
Many unspeakable gazes were cast on the six VIPs tacitly.
The name of this organization is so wicked.
The VIPs are in a good mood.
Tang Lin led his companions and became the second group of people to enter the elevator after Qing Yise.
After that, there are all the lotus comrades in arms, thirteen Yao, right against each other, big four happy.
Then Baizu, Shishe, Kongming Lantern, Donuts, Iron Blood Camp, etc. came one after another.
The time limit given by <cheat sheet> for entering the checkpoint is "before the hourglass stops", but the upper part of the hourglass is hidden in the ceiling, and no one can see how much sand is left. There are many, and it is inevitable that there is a sense of urgency in time.
So in just two to three minutes, most of the 3 passers-by got into the elevator.
The internal capacity of the hourglass is beyond everyone's imagination.With so many people crammed in, there was no difficulty in breathing. Everyone could still stand upright, but shoulders brushing shoulders and backs touching chests were always unavoidable.
The scene of deja vu brought back some not-so-good memories of the passersby——
"In fact, I haven't taken the elevator for a long time, and I don't take it when I return to reality," the tiger descending every step of the way, while fluttering the sand on his head, said in a low voice, "After the elevator in the dungeon, I have a shadow. "
"As if no one had it, I still dream about it now." The skeleton bride next to her let the sand pile up in her hair resignedly.
The Buddha pattern was speechless: "What a good thing, this is also a comparison."
"How many people died in your [elevator screening]?" Someone asked, obviously wanting to compare their own experience horizontally to see who was worse.
Someone spoke to him, but more passers-by fell into silence just like Bubugaosheng.
[Elevator screening] was the cruelest blow to them when they first entered the last ten levels, when they were most ignorant and ignorant.
Some people were lucky enough to persevere, overcame obstacles all the way, and stood here today.
Some people never get out of that elevator.
Such a "welcome ceremony" was so painful that they couldn't talk about it.
Gradually, the person who spoke to him also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and stopped talking.
There was complete silence in the hourglass.
Since the passers-by almost fill up the space of the hourglass, the fine sand can no longer be piled up into hills, but can only accumulate in the gaps between the passers-by's feet.
Inadvertently, the accumulated sand layer spread to everyone's knees.
The sand grains are too fine and the sand layer is too soft. Some people try to step on it and stand on it, but they fail in the end.Because one foot fell, it sank deeply, like stepping on snow, and after a while, the sole of the foot hit the ground again.
All the passers-by were struggling with the annoying sand, Zheng Luozhu suddenly found that there were four people outside the hourglass who hadn't come in, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted without thinking: "What are you waiting for, come here—"
The four people still outside the hourglass elevator belonged to the same medium-sized organization.In fact, all three team members wanted to move, but the captain didn't move, so they could only wait with them.
"Look again." The team leader responded to Zheng Luozhu.
Zheng Luozhu was convinced: "What are you looking at, when the hourglass stops, you won't be able to get in even if you want to!"
The team leader asked back, eyes full of vigilance: "What if it doesn't stop?"
Zheng Luozhu was baffled, and wanted to ask "what do you mean", but when he opened his mouth, he took a mouthful of sand, and suddenly he was enlightened.Looking up at the sand that was still falling continuously, and then looking down at the layer of sand that had begun to pile up to my thighs, my heart suddenly felt a little hairy.
He wasn't the only one who felt bad.
"I said, isn't this really... a trap for burying alive?" Someone couldn't hold back, and said anxiously, the word "buried alive" was extremely difficult to say.
Someone had already passed half an arm through the hourglass, and returned to the outside of the hourglass, muttering hesitantly: "It's too late to retreat now, should we retreat?"
Many people were disturbed.
If the hourglass does not stop, it will be a matter of time before they are buried alive. I am afraid that if they want to run away until then, the owl system will not give them a chance.
And this thing is said to be an elevator, but they have been in for a long time, and there is no sign of starting to take them into 6/10.The longer the delay, the more doubtful people will be.
The fatter he was, the more wobbly he was, and his questioning eyes kept going to Tang Lin.
Tang Lin shook his head, whispered but firmly: "It's here."
Nan Ge also agreed: "The <Small Copy Paper> has been reminded, and <[Special] I am a VIP> has also been deducted, so there is no reason to doubt it."
"But the No. 5 hunter who guarded 10/7 lied, and he lied to us as a guide," Cong Yue said, "Since the gatekeepers have started to lie, I'm afraid <small note> can't be trusted, right?"
"It's different." Tang Lin said calmly, "<Cheat Sheet> is the operation process, and the gatekeeper is the executor above the process. The executor can have deviations, but the process cannot. Once the process is no longer credible, then All the foundations that maintain the operation here will collapse, and those of us who break through the barriers will no longer follow the established trajectory they hoped for, which is not what they want to see."
The fatter and fatter asked in a daze, "Who are they?"
"The people above." Tang Lin raised his head and watched the fine sand keep falling, "Or, something hidden behind this level world."
The sand layer has spread to everyone's waist.
The world seemed to quiet down.
Time passed by every minute and every second, waiting inside and outside the hourglass, different thoughts, but the same torment.
The sand layer spread to everyone's chest.
At this time, the height advantage is reflected.According to the average, the height of the sand layer is at the chest, but for Fan Peiyang, Leon, Tang Lin, Zheng Luozhu, and Huo Xu, it is actually slightly lower than the chest; and for the fatter, it is almost at the neck.
As for the shortest Guan Lan...
I'm sorry, Team Leader Guan was carried on the shoulders by the monk and Quanmai hand in hand, and now he seems to be at ease.
No one persuaded the remaining four outside.
Because as the sand layer rose, except for the team leader, the original wavering in the eyes of the other three team members was slowly disappearing.
Finally, the sand layer did not reach most people's necks.
Although there is still some distance from the mouth and nose, the pressure of the sand on the chest has already made it difficult to breathe.
The hourglass shows no sign of stopping.
Some people began to regret it, but the sand was imprisoned from the neck down, and they couldn't move even if they wanted to.
The more difficult their situation, the more rejoicing the free men outside the hourglass, with a faint look of having escaped.
Just then, the hourglass stopped.
The fine hourglass is finished, no more, no less, and it just stops at the jaw of most people.
Everyone looked up one after another, but before they could see the depth of the gap, a violent explosion suddenly sounded outside the hourglass.
Everyone turned around in astonishment.
In the thick gunpowder smoke, four clusters of purple light and shadow slowly rose.
This is the second time Tang Rin has witnessed "non-combat death".
The first time was in 1/10 of the subway stations. Those who did not get on the subway were also "handled" in this way.
This kind of death is more terrifying than all other deaths.
Because this has nothing to do with your combat power, and it is not something you can fight to survive. It may just be your suspicion, a wrong choice, or even a flash of hesitation, which came cruelly like this.
It clearly tells those who are still alive how weak and powerless the passers-by are in this level world.
Purple light penetrated into the ceiling.
The hourglass elevator suddenly began to flip quickly, as if an invisible big hand turned the hourglass upside down again, the lower part turned to the upper part, and the part hidden in the ceiling turned to the lower part.
Everyone flipped along with the hourglass, and immediately flew into the air, with their heads down.
The sand that was originally buried under the body also fell down with gravity, this time it really completely buried them alive.
The air was taken away in an instant, and all the passers-by felt dizzy, as if their eyes, ears, mouth and nose were tightly covered.
"Whoa-"
The half of the hourglass carrying all the passers-by suddenly shattered, and the fine sand spread out, and 41 people rolled all over the ground.
"Bahhhh-"
"Huchi-huchi-"
The sound of spitting sand and panting, intertwined into chaos.
Tang Lin had already held his breath when the hourglass started to flip, and he was still awake at the moment, so he quickly got up from the ground and looked around first.
total darkness.
The voices of my partners are all around my ears, but no one can see anyone.
He raised his hand again to click on the <cheat sheet>, but he couldn't even figure out the owl pattern.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Lin read the "cheat sheet" in his mind, and the interface quickly appeared in his mind.
<Cheat Sheet>: You have entered the 6/10 checkpoint area.
Just such a sentence?
This is equivalent to no hint at all.
Tang Lin looked left and right, but still could only see darkness.But the checkpoint area is in the upper half of the castle, which means they have been sent to the fourth floor by the hourglass elevator?
Just as he was about to look back, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulders forcefully.
Tang Lin slammed into a chest, and then heard Fan Peiyang's voice above his head: "Don't move around, we'll talk later."
...Can you recognize it in this environment?
Tang Lin's eyes widened, and he strongly suspected that Mr. Fan was equipped with an invisible infrared detector.
"I declare that the 6/10 checkpoint surpasses the 2/10 water world, and tops the list of the most insane checkpoints." Zhou Yunhui complained in the dark, apparently also finished reading the "cheat sheet" in his mind.
Hao Siwen from Ten Club asked Cui Zhan, his team leader: "What should we do now, it's so dark that we can't see anything clearly."
Before Team Leader Cui could respond, Zhou Yunhui was happy: "Don't make things difficult for your team leader. He's just an errand runner, but he can still run out? At this time, you have to find someone like me who can bring fire..."
Zhou Huohuo, the team leader of Kongming Lantern, the current five stationery trees are [Single Fire], [Alcohol Lamp], [Flame Spray Gun], [Starry Fire], and [Starry Fire II]. Flammable... no, just the most flammable.
The most explosive laurels, please return Mr. Fan's [Advanced Destroyer].
After a few seconds.
Darkness is still darkness.
Cui Zhan asked in confusion, "Where's your kindling?"
Zhou Yunhui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tried a few more times in disbelief, his heart gradually sank to the bottom: "I can't use the stationery tree anymore."
These words were so familiar, the passers-by immediately felt overwhelmed: "Damn, it won't come again..."
On the way to the top of the mountain on 5/10, they couldn't use the stationery tree to climb the mountain, so they could only climb the steps on foot.What's the matter, it's already 6/10, why don't you still come to this set?
wrong.
As time passed, everyone gradually realized that this was not the same as it was on 5/10.
5/10 just can't use the stationery tree for mountain climbing, but those stationery trees that don't help mountain climbing can still be activated.But now—
"I can't use mine either."
"Me too."
"Fuck, same..."
Everyone can no longer establish a connection with their own stationery tree.
A sense of panic began to grow and spread in the darkness.
They came here through overcoming obstacles and fighting bloody battles. They should have built up enough will and courage, but until now, they had to admit that at least half of those will and courage were built on the foundation of the stationery tree.
The stationery tree is their weapon, their armor, and the absolute support for them to get here.
Without the stationery tree, they are just ordinary people who cannot be more fragile.
Ordinary people can climb mountains.
But in the dark castle where the future is uncertain for ordinary people, there are many dangers.
"Shh!"
There was a clean rubbing sound, and a cluster of small flames lit up in the darkness.
Everyone looked over immediately.
The flames reflected Da Sixi's face.
"Don't ask why I have a match," Da Sixi said innocently, "I got up from the ground, and it was in my hand."
"Hi~~Dear friend, I can grant you a wish~~" A projection screen suddenly popped up above the flame, with a cool backlight, which made the little owl on the projection screen very clear, but the light seemed to be sealed in In the projection screen, the surrounding darkness was not dispelled at all
Darkness, matches, and an owl version of Aladdin's lamp.
All the passers-by calmed down, knowing that their suspicions a few days ago had been confirmed—the bad story option game they played when they first entered the castle three days ago was becoming a reality.
In the first option of the story, they were already in the dark corridor of the castle, and they chose matches among lighters, candlesticks and other items.
For the story to begin, the owl system must randomly select a passer-by to put a match in it. It seems that Da Sixi is lucky to win the lottery.
But if they wished, what did they want at that time?
Daggers with tranquilizers, guns with six bullets, ice cream cones...
"So you want a map of the castle, no problem~~" The projection screen switched silently, the little owl flew away, and a detailed floor plan of each floor of the castle slowly unfolded.
All passers-by: "..."
Sure enough, without their cooperation, the system can perform a complete set based on the options three days ago.
"Ding--"
As the map was fully unfolded, the same copy was also sent to the <cheat sheet> of all the passers-by.
There are corridors, living rooms, servant rooms, kitchens, and even a straight up and down dish conveyor.Tang Lin stared at the map that was so detailed beyond imagination, thinking about what role it would play in the level.The high probability is to help them hide and escape.
Candles on the walls hula lit up.
The long, narrow and dark corridor finally revealed the whole picture before everyone's eyes.
On the wall at the end of the corridor, there is a huge oil painting.
Everything is going according to the script they chose. This kind of God's perspective somewhat makes up for everyone's anxiety about losing the stationery tree.
"Do you think the stationery tree will be temporarily unavailable?"
"Lend your auspicious words."
"But I think it's better to prepare for the worst..."
Along the corridor, 41 people marched in front of the oil painting.
The painting is a portrait of a man, with heavy oil paint outlining his thin and stern facial features. Even with glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man's sharp gaze still breaks through the canvas, staring at everyone in front of the painting like a hook.
All the passers-by fell silent, turned their heads silently, and looked at the door on the right.
When the stationery tree will come back, they don't know.
But they clearly remembered that the man in the portrait was inside this door, and according to the plot, after taking a comfortable bath, he would attack them inhumanely.
Chapter 192 Guest.013┃【Honorable Guest.013, your level has been opened, please prepare to enter. 】
Half an hour ago, the VIP room.
This is an area divided on the top floor of the trial area.The fully enclosed space has good privacy and is completely isolated from the working area on the lower floor. Even the entrance and exit are independent passages.
All guests who have submitted the application and signed the "Safety Information Form" will be arranged to wait here so that they can enter each checkpoint in time.
In order to provide the guests with a relatively quiet waiting environment, there are more than 20 VIP rooms, and no more than ten people are waiting in each room, and most of them are around six to eight people.
In VIP room No. 013 where Guest.2 is located, there are currently eight people, numbered from Guest.009 to Guest.016.
I don't know whether the natural or artificial sunlight is very dazzling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Fortunately, a light sheer curtain is placed in front of the windows to make the light entering the room mottled and soft.
Guest.013 took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.
According to the evaluation of the trial area, the most suitable "entertainment range" for the people in this room is 1/10-6/10.This is not a suggestion, but an evaluation result that they must abide by. That is to say, no matter which one or several of them can enter the checkpoint, they can only go to one of the first six checkpoints.
Guest.013 is not too happy with this.
What he really wants to go to is the last four levels, because I heard that it is the most fun place, but the places in the trial area are very popular right now. It is not easy for him to apply in a typical seller's market. No matter how dissatisfied he is, I can only bear it.
After thinking about it calmly, he put on his glasses again, only to find that a peeled orange was handed to him.
Guest.013 turned his head inexplicably, looking at the man handing the orange.
It was Guest.014 sitting on the same sofa with him. Although there was a distance of one person between them, they were considered close in this huge VIP room.But since they came in, they haven't talked to each other. What does it mean to give an orange suddenly?
Still peeled.
From the corner of the eye, Guest.013 looked at the plump orange petals and the fingers of Guest.014 pinching them, feeling nauseated.
He is obsessed with cleanliness, even if the orange has not been peeled, if Guest.014 touches it, he would not be willing to take it, let alone eat it directly after peeling it.
"You're welcome." Seeing that he was still moving, Guest.014 smiled kindly, narrowing his slender eyes.
He already had some feminine looks, but this smile made him even more charming.
Guest.013's forehead was throbbing, and his endurance was on the verge of limit.
He is obsessed with cleanliness, he hates men and women, and he doesn't like this kind of familiarity. No. 14 is very capable, and he is sure to step on his minefield every step of the way.
But good self-cultivation allowed Guest.013 to hide all of this behind the glasses. On the surface, he nodded politely to the other party, took the orange, and said: "Thank you."
Picking up is picking up, eating is absolutely impossible, and holding it in his hands while enduring the discomfort is already the greatest courtesy he can give.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it over here, the corners of No. 14's lips curled up, and he turned his head and raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Guest.016 who was sitting diagonally opposite.
Guest.016 shrugged, a little unwillingly: "You won."
Number 14 blew a whistle of pleasure.
Guest.013, holding an orange, narrowed his eyes behind the glasses: "Why don't you explain?"
"It's really boring to wait, I'll make a bet on you." No. 14 Dafang looked at him, with a smile in his eyes, almost charming.
Guest.013 was speechless: "Bet on whether I will pick up oranges?"
"I bet you will leave this sofa immediately." Guest.014 leaned back lazily, resting his hand on the back of the sofa to support his slightly tilted head, and looked at Guest.013 with satisfaction, "You not only Didn't leave, and even accepted the oranges, which really gave me face."
Guest.013: "..."
So, not only did he bet against him, but he deliberately offended him after seeing that he had a cleanliness fetish.
Taking a deep breath, Guest.013 took off his glasses again.
The world fell back into obscurity, and it was the most effective way he could think of to stop himself from attacking those two guys.
He didn't know these people before, and he was on a third-party site, so he didn't want to cause trouble.
Of course, this is under the condition that he is not continued to be offended. If someone continues to die, he doesn't mind letting them...
[Honorable Guest.013, your checkpoint has been opened, please prepare to enter. 】
A notification sound suddenly sounded in the VIP room, stopping the rising anger of Guest.013.
The long wait finally ushered in the result.
Guest.013 immediately felt refreshed.Ignoring the messy guys around him, he got up quickly and walked to the huge French windows.
An owl pattern is drawn on the ground in front of the window, which is the logo of the level transfer point.
He was happy here, and most of the other seven people who were not selected frowned.Although I didn't say that entering the checkpoints will be in the order of number, but I heard that the 001-007 next door is entered according to the number. When I arrived at them, I suddenly jumped directly to Guest.013. depressed.
Guest.014 was even more depressed.
When the room is full, he is pleasing to the eyes of No. 13. He is planning to annoy each other step by step. The two of them played a real game, but No. 13 is called away. Who can accompany him to pass this boring waiting The long time?
9号?10号?11号……15号?16号?
Looking around the room with slender and slender eyes, Guest.014 didn't find a second person with eyes, feeling that every one of them was vulnerable, and he couldn't arouse his interest in doing it at all.
Guest.013 doesn't care about behind him.
He is dressed in a casual gentlemanly style, standing on the teleportation point sign, looking out the window, imagining the happy time ahead.
【Hope you enjoy your time. 】
With warm wishes, Guest.013's eyes dimmed.
After a while, the vision re-lighted, and he was already in a... bathroom?
Guest.013 looks around blankly.
Showers, bathtubs, washing racks, storage racks, bathrobes, etc., everything is available, and even the water in the bathtub is placed.After a while, warm water vapor engulfed his lenses.
Guest.013 froze there, even forgot to wipe his glasses.
He came to the checkpoint for entertainment, not to take a bath for vacation. Are you sure there is no problem with the arrangement of any link? ?
[You have entered 6/10, Hourglass Castle...]
The notification sounded again, this time it was in his ear, and only he could hear it.
Different from the notification tone in the VIP room, the tone of the notification tone at this moment is completely business-like, and even vaguely has a hint of command.
Guest.013 was prepared for this, because he was informed in advance when he applied.
Although the trial area has been transformed into an entertainment area and is open to the outside world, the operating basis is still the same owl system. Guests enter the checkpoints instead of gatekeepers, but the owl system will not change. So what they hear now is still the same as before. Communication mode of gatekeepers.
But unexpectedly it will come to 6/10, Guest.013 sighed with some headache.
The entertainment range of his application was finally evaluated from 1/10 to 6/10. Among them, the content of the first five levels was notified after signing the safety notice.From the setting of the level to the process of the level, from the rules to follow to the maximum that can be freely played, it is almost comprehensive, and even the details are so detailed that he feels overly cautious.
6/10 happens to be a mysterious exception.
There is only one sentence about the content of this level: please follow the prompts in the level.
Unfortunately, Guest.013 hates surprises the most, and he likes to take everything into his own hands as thoroughly as possible, preferably with not a single detail derailed.
[Please strictly follow the prompts to complete your task.Once you fail to complete or violate the task requirements, you will be directly expelled from the level, and the remaining tasks will be taken over by other gatekeepers.Next comes the first task: taking a shower. 】
Guest.013: "..."
Very good, now not only is it derailed, but even the clothes have to be taken off.
……
Hourglass Castle, at the end of a corridor on the fifth floor.
Forty pairs of eyes looked at Shisanyao's hand on the doorknob, and urged in a very low voice: "You should open it."
Volunteering to open the door, holding the doorknob but not moving, can make everyone panic to death.
"Wait a minute," Thirteen Yao was not a thoughtful person, but the moment he touched the doorknob, he suddenly opened his mind, "Let's take a look, what options do we have after we enter the house?"
He Lv, who was closer to him, said sternly: "A man is taking a shower, we chose to read the diary on the table, and then..."
"No," Thirteen Yao interrupted him and said, "I mean, besides reading the diary, what other options are there?"
He Lu was questioned, he vaguely remembered stealing a man's clothes, peeping at a man taking a shower, the other one was a bit vague.
When it comes to memory, his eyes subconsciously look for Donut Tanhua.
Thirteen Yao sensed his intention and curled his lips: "It's useless to ask him. You forgot? You can't use the stationery tree now, and his [Photographic Memory] and [Memory Playback] are all out of order."
Tan Hua gritted his teeth: "But I still have a brain." In order to justify his IQ, he immediately reported the options clearly, "I found a secret passage under the bed, found a diary on the table, peeked at the man taking a shower, stole the man's clothes, four choices One, we choose to read the diary."
"Yes, that's it," Thirteen Yao looked at the crowd cautiously, and said, "I don't think that just because we have chosen one, we have to follow this path. If conditions permit, we can use multiple approaches, and there might be unexpected surprises. "
All the passers-by nodded without hesitation: "It can be done."
So 40 people were divided into four groups, and it was agreed that after entering the room, each group was responsible for one option.
The division of labor was quickly determined, and Thirteen Yao finally opened the door little by little.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of bathing water could be heard faintly.
Sure enough, he was taking a shower.
God's perspective once again confirmed that everyone was a little more at ease and tiptoed into the room one by one.
This is a room that is much larger than the living space of the passers-by. Although it is only a bedroom, it is very spacious and has a high ceiling. After accommodating 41 of them, it seems that there are slightly more people, but it is not crowded and cramped.
The sound of water in the bathroom continued.
The crowd quickly divided into four groups.
Tie Xueying led the way to find secret passages under the bed; Donuts and Backgammon led the way to peek at men taking a bath; VIP led the way to steal men's clothes; finally Shishe and Kongming Lantern led the way to look through the diary.
However, Shishe and the Kongming Lantern did not move for the time being.
Because the diary in the shape of a leather letter is placed on the table, it is so eye-catching with its "props light", it is difficult to see it.And if everything develops strictly according to the plot, then when the diary is opened, the man will come out, so they have to wait first to give the other three teams time.
But soon, they realized their innocence.
He Lu came out from under the bed and shook his head regretfully—there was no seam on the ground under the bed, and there was no secret passage at all.
Donut and Bu Bu Gao Sheng, who secretly opened the gap in the bathroom door, also looked back with disappointed faces—no matter how they looked in, there were only clouds of white hot air hitting their faces, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Tang Lin led the team around the room, focusing on the bathroom door, and even searched along the open door with Donuts and Bu Bu Gao Sheng, but they didn't even find any clothes.
After some fruitless tossing, the answer couldn't be more clear-the plot of the level will only proceed in the direction they chose, and those options that were abandoned by them will no longer be possible to become a reality.
At the same time, in the bathroom.
Guest.013, who was washing his hair slowly, heard a new mission in his ears——
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
Guest.013 froze in the water flow of the shower.
How can this state be "immediately"? !
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
The same mechanical sound was repeated a second time in the ears.
Obviously there is no change in tone or content, but it just brings people great pressure and a sense of urgency.
Guest.013 wanted to curse, but in the end he just gave a "tsk", and quickly washed the foam off his head. He didn't care to wipe it, and immediately reached for his clothes.
But he changed his mind halfway, and finally pulled back the bathrobe, put it on his body, and tied it around his waist, which was much faster than putting on clothes.
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
The prompt was repeated a third time.
Guest.013 retrieved his glasses with the last sliver of rationality, and then hurried to the bathroom door.
Outside the bathroom, inside the room.
Cui Zhan, who was still guarding the table, pointed to the shining diary on it, and asked with his mouth: "Have I opened it?"
All groups of people have regrouped and silently gathered around the table.
Zhou Yunhui gave Cui Zhan a "let's start" look.
Cui Zhanzao couldn't wait, and immediately opened the dark leather handbook engraved with exquisite patterns.
The first page of the diary came into view.
The messy blood-red handwriting was more impactful than they imagined: Peepers, die.
"call out--"
The diary soared into the sky, drawing a straight line in the air at high speed.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the trajectory.
A gentle man wearing glasses and a bathrobe was standing at the door of the bathroom.
The diary flew into his hand with a "snap".
The man grasped it, and the diary closed in response.
The 41 people were tense. At this moment when the stationery tree could not be used, even if they had a large number of people, they were still facing a formidable enemy.
Guest.013 raised his hand to hold the diary, his mind went blank.
The prompt only said to get him out of the bathroom immediately, but it never said that there was a room full of people waiting for him outside.
This bath welcome ceremony... is too enthusiastic.
After a long silent confrontation, someone finally broke the silence——
Monk: "Tanhua, does the story say that he came out wearing a bathrobe?"
Tanhua: "Let me think about it..."
Edogawa: "Put on your own clothes. I remember taking out my glasses from my pocket."
Fowen: "Then how did the plot details change?"
Fifty-five points: "It is estimated that the actors are free to play."
Guest.013: "..."
The author has something to say: Guest.013: Can I get a full refund if I give up now...
Chapter 193 Suffocation┃In the suddenly silent dead world, the passers-by saw each other's faces distorted by lack of oxygen.
Forty men and one woman.
Guest.013 calmly counted the number of his opponents, and became more and more suspicious that the so-called "entertainment" was a scam.
He paid a lot of money to come, but the service he received was "41 dozen 41".No, from the most realistic description, I am afraid that "[-] against one" is more appropriate.
Guest.001-007 in the lounge next door was dispatched by seven people. Even with such a large number of people, they still went out and never came back.Now, Guest.013 feels that he might go to a place where the wounded are treated, and join them...
[Let these people jump out of the castle...]
In fact, you don’t need to go that close. Most of the passers-by can see clearly from where they stand now. It is a giant hourglass enlarged one by one. The transparent glass cover and the fine sand that keeps falling are its entire structure. element.
"Huh?" Qing Yise, who was groping on the outer wall of the hourglass, suddenly found that as long as the palm of the hand was in contact with the wall of the hourglass, purple light would appear from the contact surface.
When he raised his hand, the purple light disappeared, and when he touched it again, the purple light appeared again.
After repeating it several times, he tentatively patted the wall of the hourglass hard. Unexpectedly, the moment he slapped it, his hand passed through the transparent wall strangely in the purple light.
Qing Yise was caught off guard, with a flash of his body, half of his body passed through the transparent wall and entered the hourglass, and he was still standing outside the hourglass from the waist down, looking like a person who had penetrated halfway through the wall.
Qing Yishi was startled and didn't dare to move for a long time.
Edogawa, who was rising every step of the way, understood a little bit, and joked happily: "Aren't you looking for the door? Congratulations, you succeeded."
At this time, all of them also realized that this [hourglass elevator] should belong to the "sensing traversal type".
No time to pay attention to Edogawa, he took a step forward and finally entered the hourglass.
A steady stream of fine sand fell from above, hitting him all over his head and face.All of them spat out the sand in their mouths with a "peh peh" and quickly moved to the side of the hourglass, avoiding the center.As soon as I stood up again, I heard a "ding——"
<Cheat Sheet>: Welcome to [Hourglass Elevator].This is the 6/10 checkpoint. Every time you enter, you need to deduct <[Special] I am a VIP>. Quantity: 1.After this deduction, your <[Special] I am a VIP>, the remaining quantity: 9.
"Hurry up and come in," Qingyi waved the <cheat sheet> on his arm, and greeted everyone who was still watching, "It is indeed a checkpoint, not a trap, I have already been detained as 'I am a VIP'—"
With the first one to eat crabs, everyone is completely relieved, but the 6/10 admission ticket <[Special] I am a VIP> is nothing to look at, but when the six words "I am a VIP" are shouted out, I always feel that I am surrendering to an organization.
Many unspeakable gazes were cast on the six VIPs tacitly.
The name of this organization is so wicked.
The VIPs are in a good mood.
Tang Lin led his companions and became the second group of people to enter the elevator after Qing Yise.
After that, there are all the lotus comrades in arms, thirteen Yao, right against each other, big four happy.
Then Baizu, Shishe, Kongming Lantern, Donuts, Iron Blood Camp, etc. came one after another.
The time limit given by <cheat sheet> for entering the checkpoint is "before the hourglass stops", but the upper part of the hourglass is hidden in the ceiling, and no one can see how much sand is left. There are many, and it is inevitable that there is a sense of urgency in time.
So in just two to three minutes, most of the 3 passers-by got into the elevator.
The internal capacity of the hourglass is beyond everyone's imagination.With so many people crammed in, there was no difficulty in breathing. Everyone could still stand upright, but shoulders brushing shoulders and backs touching chests were always unavoidable.
The scene of deja vu brought back some not-so-good memories of the passersby——
"In fact, I haven't taken the elevator for a long time, and I don't take it when I return to reality," the tiger descending every step of the way, while fluttering the sand on his head, said in a low voice, "After the elevator in the dungeon, I have a shadow. "
"As if no one had it, I still dream about it now." The skeleton bride next to her let the sand pile up in her hair resignedly.
The Buddha pattern was speechless: "What a good thing, this is also a comparison."
"How many people died in your [elevator screening]?" Someone asked, obviously wanting to compare their own experience horizontally to see who was worse.
Someone spoke to him, but more passers-by fell into silence just like Bubugaosheng.
[Elevator screening] was the cruelest blow to them when they first entered the last ten levels, when they were most ignorant and ignorant.
Some people were lucky enough to persevere, overcame obstacles all the way, and stood here today.
Some people never get out of that elevator.
Such a "welcome ceremony" was so painful that they couldn't talk about it.
Gradually, the person who spoke to him also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and stopped talking.
There was complete silence in the hourglass.
Since the passers-by almost fill up the space of the hourglass, the fine sand can no longer be piled up into hills, but can only accumulate in the gaps between the passers-by's feet.
Inadvertently, the accumulated sand layer spread to everyone's knees.
The sand grains are too fine and the sand layer is too soft. Some people try to step on it and stand on it, but they fail in the end.Because one foot fell, it sank deeply, like stepping on snow, and after a while, the sole of the foot hit the ground again.
All the passers-by were struggling with the annoying sand, Zheng Luozhu suddenly found that there were four people outside the hourglass who hadn't come in, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted without thinking: "What are you waiting for, come here—"
The four people still outside the hourglass elevator belonged to the same medium-sized organization.In fact, all three team members wanted to move, but the captain didn't move, so they could only wait with them.
"Look again." The team leader responded to Zheng Luozhu.
Zheng Luozhu was convinced: "What are you looking at, when the hourglass stops, you won't be able to get in even if you want to!"
The team leader asked back, eyes full of vigilance: "What if it doesn't stop?"
Zheng Luozhu was baffled, and wanted to ask "what do you mean", but when he opened his mouth, he took a mouthful of sand, and suddenly he was enlightened.Looking up at the sand that was still falling continuously, and then looking down at the layer of sand that had begun to pile up to my thighs, my heart suddenly felt a little hairy.
He wasn't the only one who felt bad.
"I said, isn't this really... a trap for burying alive?" Someone couldn't hold back, and said anxiously, the word "buried alive" was extremely difficult to say.
Someone had already passed half an arm through the hourglass, and returned to the outside of the hourglass, muttering hesitantly: "It's too late to retreat now, should we retreat?"
Many people were disturbed.
If the hourglass does not stop, it will be a matter of time before they are buried alive. I am afraid that if they want to run away until then, the owl system will not give them a chance.
And this thing is said to be an elevator, but they have been in for a long time, and there is no sign of starting to take them into 6/10.The longer the delay, the more doubtful people will be.
The fatter he was, the more wobbly he was, and his questioning eyes kept going to Tang Lin.
Tang Lin shook his head, whispered but firmly: "It's here."
Nan Ge also agreed: "The <Small Copy Paper> has been reminded, and <[Special] I am a VIP> has also been deducted, so there is no reason to doubt it."
"But the No. 5 hunter who guarded 10/7 lied, and he lied to us as a guide," Cong Yue said, "Since the gatekeepers have started to lie, I'm afraid <small note> can't be trusted, right?"
"It's different." Tang Lin said calmly, "<Cheat Sheet> is the operation process, and the gatekeeper is the executor above the process. The executor can have deviations, but the process cannot. Once the process is no longer credible, then All the foundations that maintain the operation here will collapse, and those of us who break through the barriers will no longer follow the established trajectory they hoped for, which is not what they want to see."
The fatter and fatter asked in a daze, "Who are they?"
"The people above." Tang Lin raised his head and watched the fine sand keep falling, "Or, something hidden behind this level world."
The sand layer has spread to everyone's waist.
The world seemed to quiet down.
Time passed by every minute and every second, waiting inside and outside the hourglass, different thoughts, but the same torment.
The sand layer spread to everyone's chest.
At this time, the height advantage is reflected.According to the average, the height of the sand layer is at the chest, but for Fan Peiyang, Leon, Tang Lin, Zheng Luozhu, and Huo Xu, it is actually slightly lower than the chest; and for the fatter, it is almost at the neck.
As for the shortest Guan Lan...
I'm sorry, Team Leader Guan was carried on the shoulders by the monk and Quanmai hand in hand, and now he seems to be at ease.
No one persuaded the remaining four outside.
Because as the sand layer rose, except for the team leader, the original wavering in the eyes of the other three team members was slowly disappearing.
Finally, the sand layer did not reach most people's necks.
Although there is still some distance from the mouth and nose, the pressure of the sand on the chest has already made it difficult to breathe.
The hourglass shows no sign of stopping.
Some people began to regret it, but the sand was imprisoned from the neck down, and they couldn't move even if they wanted to.
The more difficult their situation, the more rejoicing the free men outside the hourglass, with a faint look of having escaped.
Just then, the hourglass stopped.
The fine hourglass is finished, no more, no less, and it just stops at the jaw of most people.
Everyone looked up one after another, but before they could see the depth of the gap, a violent explosion suddenly sounded outside the hourglass.
Everyone turned around in astonishment.
In the thick gunpowder smoke, four clusters of purple light and shadow slowly rose.
This is the second time Tang Rin has witnessed "non-combat death".
The first time was in 1/10 of the subway stations. Those who did not get on the subway were also "handled" in this way.
This kind of death is more terrifying than all other deaths.
Because this has nothing to do with your combat power, and it is not something you can fight to survive. It may just be your suspicion, a wrong choice, or even a flash of hesitation, which came cruelly like this.
It clearly tells those who are still alive how weak and powerless the passers-by are in this level world.
Purple light penetrated into the ceiling.
The hourglass elevator suddenly began to flip quickly, as if an invisible big hand turned the hourglass upside down again, the lower part turned to the upper part, and the part hidden in the ceiling turned to the lower part.
Everyone flipped along with the hourglass, and immediately flew into the air, with their heads down.
The sand that was originally buried under the body also fell down with gravity, this time it really completely buried them alive.
The air was taken away in an instant, and all the passers-by felt dizzy, as if their eyes, ears, mouth and nose were tightly covered.
"Whoa-"
The half of the hourglass carrying all the passers-by suddenly shattered, and the fine sand spread out, and 41 people rolled all over the ground.
"Bahhhh-"
"Huchi-huchi-"
The sound of spitting sand and panting, intertwined into chaos.
Tang Lin had already held his breath when the hourglass started to flip, and he was still awake at the moment, so he quickly got up from the ground and looked around first.
total darkness.
The voices of my partners are all around my ears, but no one can see anyone.
He raised his hand again to click on the <cheat sheet>, but he couldn't even figure out the owl pattern.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Lin read the "cheat sheet" in his mind, and the interface quickly appeared in his mind.
<Cheat Sheet>: You have entered the 6/10 checkpoint area.
Just such a sentence?
This is equivalent to no hint at all.
Tang Lin looked left and right, but still could only see darkness.But the checkpoint area is in the upper half of the castle, which means they have been sent to the fourth floor by the hourglass elevator?
Just as he was about to look back, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulders forcefully.
Tang Lin slammed into a chest, and then heard Fan Peiyang's voice above his head: "Don't move around, we'll talk later."
...Can you recognize it in this environment?
Tang Lin's eyes widened, and he strongly suspected that Mr. Fan was equipped with an invisible infrared detector.
"I declare that the 6/10 checkpoint surpasses the 2/10 water world, and tops the list of the most insane checkpoints." Zhou Yunhui complained in the dark, apparently also finished reading the "cheat sheet" in his mind.
Hao Siwen from Ten Club asked Cui Zhan, his team leader: "What should we do now, it's so dark that we can't see anything clearly."
Before Team Leader Cui could respond, Zhou Yunhui was happy: "Don't make things difficult for your team leader. He's just an errand runner, but he can still run out? At this time, you have to find someone like me who can bring fire..."
Zhou Huohuo, the team leader of Kongming Lantern, the current five stationery trees are [Single Fire], [Alcohol Lamp], [Flame Spray Gun], [Starry Fire], and [Starry Fire II]. Flammable... no, just the most flammable.
The most explosive laurels, please return Mr. Fan's [Advanced Destroyer].
After a few seconds.
Darkness is still darkness.
Cui Zhan asked in confusion, "Where's your kindling?"
Zhou Yunhui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tried a few more times in disbelief, his heart gradually sank to the bottom: "I can't use the stationery tree anymore."
These words were so familiar, the passers-by immediately felt overwhelmed: "Damn, it won't come again..."
On the way to the top of the mountain on 5/10, they couldn't use the stationery tree to climb the mountain, so they could only climb the steps on foot.What's the matter, it's already 6/10, why don't you still come to this set?
wrong.
As time passed, everyone gradually realized that this was not the same as it was on 5/10.
5/10 just can't use the stationery tree for mountain climbing, but those stationery trees that don't help mountain climbing can still be activated.But now—
"I can't use mine either."
"Me too."
"Fuck, same..."
Everyone can no longer establish a connection with their own stationery tree.
A sense of panic began to grow and spread in the darkness.
They came here through overcoming obstacles and fighting bloody battles. They should have built up enough will and courage, but until now, they had to admit that at least half of those will and courage were built on the foundation of the stationery tree.
The stationery tree is their weapon, their armor, and the absolute support for them to get here.
Without the stationery tree, they are just ordinary people who cannot be more fragile.
Ordinary people can climb mountains.
But in the dark castle where the future is uncertain for ordinary people, there are many dangers.
"Shh!"
There was a clean rubbing sound, and a cluster of small flames lit up in the darkness.
Everyone looked over immediately.
The flames reflected Da Sixi's face.
"Don't ask why I have a match," Da Sixi said innocently, "I got up from the ground, and it was in my hand."
"Hi~~Dear friend, I can grant you a wish~~" A projection screen suddenly popped up above the flame, with a cool backlight, which made the little owl on the projection screen very clear, but the light seemed to be sealed in In the projection screen, the surrounding darkness was not dispelled at all
Darkness, matches, and an owl version of Aladdin's lamp.
All the passers-by calmed down, knowing that their suspicions a few days ago had been confirmed—the bad story option game they played when they first entered the castle three days ago was becoming a reality.
In the first option of the story, they were already in the dark corridor of the castle, and they chose matches among lighters, candlesticks and other items.
For the story to begin, the owl system must randomly select a passer-by to put a match in it. It seems that Da Sixi is lucky to win the lottery.
But if they wished, what did they want at that time?
Daggers with tranquilizers, guns with six bullets, ice cream cones...
"So you want a map of the castle, no problem~~" The projection screen switched silently, the little owl flew away, and a detailed floor plan of each floor of the castle slowly unfolded.
All passers-by: "..."
Sure enough, without their cooperation, the system can perform a complete set based on the options three days ago.
"Ding--"
As the map was fully unfolded, the same copy was also sent to the <cheat sheet> of all the passers-by.
There are corridors, living rooms, servant rooms, kitchens, and even a straight up and down dish conveyor.Tang Lin stared at the map that was so detailed beyond imagination, thinking about what role it would play in the level.The high probability is to help them hide and escape.
Candles on the walls hula lit up.
The long, narrow and dark corridor finally revealed the whole picture before everyone's eyes.
On the wall at the end of the corridor, there is a huge oil painting.
Everything is going according to the script they chose. This kind of God's perspective somewhat makes up for everyone's anxiety about losing the stationery tree.
"Do you think the stationery tree will be temporarily unavailable?"
"Lend your auspicious words."
"But I think it's better to prepare for the worst..."
Along the corridor, 41 people marched in front of the oil painting.
The painting is a portrait of a man, with heavy oil paint outlining his thin and stern facial features. Even with glasses on the bridge of his nose, the man's sharp gaze still breaks through the canvas, staring at everyone in front of the painting like a hook.
All the passers-by fell silent, turned their heads silently, and looked at the door on the right.
When the stationery tree will come back, they don't know.
But they clearly remembered that the man in the portrait was inside this door, and according to the plot, after taking a comfortable bath, he would attack them inhumanely.
Chapter 192 Guest.013┃【Honorable Guest.013, your level has been opened, please prepare to enter. 】
Half an hour ago, the VIP room.
This is an area divided on the top floor of the trial area.The fully enclosed space has good privacy and is completely isolated from the working area on the lower floor. Even the entrance and exit are independent passages.
All guests who have submitted the application and signed the "Safety Information Form" will be arranged to wait here so that they can enter each checkpoint in time.
In order to provide the guests with a relatively quiet waiting environment, there are more than 20 VIP rooms, and no more than ten people are waiting in each room, and most of them are around six to eight people.
In VIP room No. 013 where Guest.2 is located, there are currently eight people, numbered from Guest.009 to Guest.016.
I don't know whether the natural or artificial sunlight is very dazzling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Fortunately, a light sheer curtain is placed in front of the windows to make the light entering the room mottled and soft.
Guest.013 took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.
According to the evaluation of the trial area, the most suitable "entertainment range" for the people in this room is 1/10-6/10.This is not a suggestion, but an evaluation result that they must abide by. That is to say, no matter which one or several of them can enter the checkpoint, they can only go to one of the first six checkpoints.
Guest.013 is not too happy with this.
What he really wants to go to is the last four levels, because I heard that it is the most fun place, but the places in the trial area are very popular right now. It is not easy for him to apply in a typical seller's market. No matter how dissatisfied he is, I can only bear it.
After thinking about it calmly, he put on his glasses again, only to find that a peeled orange was handed to him.
Guest.013 turned his head inexplicably, looking at the man handing the orange.
It was Guest.014 sitting on the same sofa with him. Although there was a distance of one person between them, they were considered close in this huge VIP room.But since they came in, they haven't talked to each other. What does it mean to give an orange suddenly?
Still peeled.
From the corner of the eye, Guest.013 looked at the plump orange petals and the fingers of Guest.014 pinching them, feeling nauseated.
He is obsessed with cleanliness, even if the orange has not been peeled, if Guest.014 touches it, he would not be willing to take it, let alone eat it directly after peeling it.
"You're welcome." Seeing that he was still moving, Guest.014 smiled kindly, narrowing his slender eyes.
He already had some feminine looks, but this smile made him even more charming.
Guest.013's forehead was throbbing, and his endurance was on the verge of limit.
He is obsessed with cleanliness, he hates men and women, and he doesn't like this kind of familiarity. No. 14 is very capable, and he is sure to step on his minefield every step of the way.
But good self-cultivation allowed Guest.013 to hide all of this behind the glasses. On the surface, he nodded politely to the other party, took the orange, and said: "Thank you."
Picking up is picking up, eating is absolutely impossible, and holding it in his hands while enduring the discomfort is already the greatest courtesy he can give.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it over here, the corners of No. 14's lips curled up, and he turned his head and raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Guest.016 who was sitting diagonally opposite.
Guest.016 shrugged, a little unwillingly: "You won."
Number 14 blew a whistle of pleasure.
Guest.013, holding an orange, narrowed his eyes behind the glasses: "Why don't you explain?"
"It's really boring to wait, I'll make a bet on you." No. 14 Dafang looked at him, with a smile in his eyes, almost charming.
Guest.013 was speechless: "Bet on whether I will pick up oranges?"
"I bet you will leave this sofa immediately." Guest.014 leaned back lazily, resting his hand on the back of the sofa to support his slightly tilted head, and looked at Guest.013 with satisfaction, "You not only Didn't leave, and even accepted the oranges, which really gave me face."
Guest.013: "..."
So, not only did he bet against him, but he deliberately offended him after seeing that he had a cleanliness fetish.
Taking a deep breath, Guest.013 took off his glasses again.
The world fell back into obscurity, and it was the most effective way he could think of to stop himself from attacking those two guys.
He didn't know these people before, and he was on a third-party site, so he didn't want to cause trouble.
Of course, this is under the condition that he is not continued to be offended. If someone continues to die, he doesn't mind letting them...
[Honorable Guest.013, your checkpoint has been opened, please prepare to enter. 】
A notification sound suddenly sounded in the VIP room, stopping the rising anger of Guest.013.
The long wait finally ushered in the result.
Guest.013 immediately felt refreshed.Ignoring the messy guys around him, he got up quickly and walked to the huge French windows.
An owl pattern is drawn on the ground in front of the window, which is the logo of the level transfer point.
He was happy here, and most of the other seven people who were not selected frowned.Although I didn't say that entering the checkpoints will be in the order of number, but I heard that the 001-007 next door is entered according to the number. When I arrived at them, I suddenly jumped directly to Guest.013. depressed.
Guest.014 was even more depressed.
When the room is full, he is pleasing to the eyes of No. 13. He is planning to annoy each other step by step. The two of them played a real game, but No. 13 is called away. Who can accompany him to pass this boring waiting The long time?
9号?10号?11号……15号?16号?
Looking around the room with slender and slender eyes, Guest.014 didn't find a second person with eyes, feeling that every one of them was vulnerable, and he couldn't arouse his interest in doing it at all.
Guest.013 doesn't care about behind him.
He is dressed in a casual gentlemanly style, standing on the teleportation point sign, looking out the window, imagining the happy time ahead.
【Hope you enjoy your time. 】
With warm wishes, Guest.013's eyes dimmed.
After a while, the vision re-lighted, and he was already in a... bathroom?
Guest.013 looks around blankly.
Showers, bathtubs, washing racks, storage racks, bathrobes, etc., everything is available, and even the water in the bathtub is placed.After a while, warm water vapor engulfed his lenses.
Guest.013 froze there, even forgot to wipe his glasses.
He came to the checkpoint for entertainment, not to take a bath for vacation. Are you sure there is no problem with the arrangement of any link? ?
[You have entered 6/10, Hourglass Castle...]
The notification sounded again, this time it was in his ear, and only he could hear it.
Different from the notification tone in the VIP room, the tone of the notification tone at this moment is completely business-like, and even vaguely has a hint of command.
Guest.013 was prepared for this, because he was informed in advance when he applied.
Although the trial area has been transformed into an entertainment area and is open to the outside world, the operating basis is still the same owl system. Guests enter the checkpoints instead of gatekeepers, but the owl system will not change. So what they hear now is still the same as before. Communication mode of gatekeepers.
But unexpectedly it will come to 6/10, Guest.013 sighed with some headache.
The entertainment range of his application was finally evaluated from 1/10 to 6/10. Among them, the content of the first five levels was notified after signing the safety notice.From the setting of the level to the process of the level, from the rules to follow to the maximum that can be freely played, it is almost comprehensive, and even the details are so detailed that he feels overly cautious.
6/10 happens to be a mysterious exception.
There is only one sentence about the content of this level: please follow the prompts in the level.
Unfortunately, Guest.013 hates surprises the most, and he likes to take everything into his own hands as thoroughly as possible, preferably with not a single detail derailed.
[Please strictly follow the prompts to complete your task.Once you fail to complete or violate the task requirements, you will be directly expelled from the level, and the remaining tasks will be taken over by other gatekeepers.Next comes the first task: taking a shower. 】
Guest.013: "..."
Very good, now not only is it derailed, but even the clothes have to be taken off.
……
Hourglass Castle, at the end of a corridor on the fifth floor.
Forty pairs of eyes looked at Shisanyao's hand on the doorknob, and urged in a very low voice: "You should open it."
Volunteering to open the door, holding the doorknob but not moving, can make everyone panic to death.
"Wait a minute," Thirteen Yao was not a thoughtful person, but the moment he touched the doorknob, he suddenly opened his mind, "Let's take a look, what options do we have after we enter the house?"
He Lv, who was closer to him, said sternly: "A man is taking a shower, we chose to read the diary on the table, and then..."
"No," Thirteen Yao interrupted him and said, "I mean, besides reading the diary, what other options are there?"
He Lu was questioned, he vaguely remembered stealing a man's clothes, peeping at a man taking a shower, the other one was a bit vague.
When it comes to memory, his eyes subconsciously look for Donut Tanhua.
Thirteen Yao sensed his intention and curled his lips: "It's useless to ask him. You forgot? You can't use the stationery tree now, and his [Photographic Memory] and [Memory Playback] are all out of order."
Tan Hua gritted his teeth: "But I still have a brain." In order to justify his IQ, he immediately reported the options clearly, "I found a secret passage under the bed, found a diary on the table, peeked at the man taking a shower, stole the man's clothes, four choices One, we choose to read the diary."
"Yes, that's it," Thirteen Yao looked at the crowd cautiously, and said, "I don't think that just because we have chosen one, we have to follow this path. If conditions permit, we can use multiple approaches, and there might be unexpected surprises. "
All the passers-by nodded without hesitation: "It can be done."
So 40 people were divided into four groups, and it was agreed that after entering the room, each group was responsible for one option.
The division of labor was quickly determined, and Thirteen Yao finally opened the door little by little.
As soon as the door opened, the sound of bathing water could be heard faintly.
Sure enough, he was taking a shower.
God's perspective once again confirmed that everyone was a little more at ease and tiptoed into the room one by one.
This is a room that is much larger than the living space of the passers-by. Although it is only a bedroom, it is very spacious and has a high ceiling. After accommodating 41 of them, it seems that there are slightly more people, but it is not crowded and cramped.
The sound of water in the bathroom continued.
The crowd quickly divided into four groups.
Tie Xueying led the way to find secret passages under the bed; Donuts and Backgammon led the way to peek at men taking a bath; VIP led the way to steal men's clothes; finally Shishe and Kongming Lantern led the way to look through the diary.
However, Shishe and the Kongming Lantern did not move for the time being.
Because the diary in the shape of a leather letter is placed on the table, it is so eye-catching with its "props light", it is difficult to see it.And if everything develops strictly according to the plot, then when the diary is opened, the man will come out, so they have to wait first to give the other three teams time.
But soon, they realized their innocence.
He Lu came out from under the bed and shook his head regretfully—there was no seam on the ground under the bed, and there was no secret passage at all.
Donut and Bu Bu Gao Sheng, who secretly opened the gap in the bathroom door, also looked back with disappointed faces—no matter how they looked in, there were only clouds of white hot air hitting their faces, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Tang Lin led the team around the room, focusing on the bathroom door, and even searched along the open door with Donuts and Bu Bu Gao Sheng, but they didn't even find any clothes.
After some fruitless tossing, the answer couldn't be more clear-the plot of the level will only proceed in the direction they chose, and those options that were abandoned by them will no longer be possible to become a reality.
At the same time, in the bathroom.
Guest.013, who was washing his hair slowly, heard a new mission in his ears——
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
Guest.013 froze in the water flow of the shower.
How can this state be "immediately"? !
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
The same mechanical sound was repeated a second time in the ears.
Obviously there is no change in tone or content, but it just brings people great pressure and a sense of urgency.
Guest.013 wanted to curse, but in the end he just gave a "tsk", and quickly washed the foam off his head. He didn't care to wipe it, and immediately reached for his clothes.
But he changed his mind halfway, and finally pulled back the bathrobe, put it on his body, and tied it around his waist, which was much faster than putting on clothes.
[Leave the bathroom immediately. 】
The prompt was repeated a third time.
Guest.013 retrieved his glasses with the last sliver of rationality, and then hurried to the bathroom door.
Outside the bathroom, inside the room.
Cui Zhan, who was still guarding the table, pointed to the shining diary on it, and asked with his mouth: "Have I opened it?"
All groups of people have regrouped and silently gathered around the table.
Zhou Yunhui gave Cui Zhan a "let's start" look.
Cui Zhanzao couldn't wait, and immediately opened the dark leather handbook engraved with exquisite patterns.
The first page of the diary came into view.
The messy blood-red handwriting was more impactful than they imagined: Peepers, die.
"call out--"
The diary soared into the sky, drawing a straight line in the air at high speed.
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the trajectory.
A gentle man wearing glasses and a bathrobe was standing at the door of the bathroom.
The diary flew into his hand with a "snap".
The man grasped it, and the diary closed in response.
The 41 people were tense. At this moment when the stationery tree could not be used, even if they had a large number of people, they were still facing a formidable enemy.
Guest.013 raised his hand to hold the diary, his mind went blank.
The prompt only said to get him out of the bathroom immediately, but it never said that there was a room full of people waiting for him outside.
This bath welcome ceremony... is too enthusiastic.
After a long silent confrontation, someone finally broke the silence——
Monk: "Tanhua, does the story say that he came out wearing a bathrobe?"
Tanhua: "Let me think about it..."
Edogawa: "Put on your own clothes. I remember taking out my glasses from my pocket."
Fowen: "Then how did the plot details change?"
Fifty-five points: "It is estimated that the actors are free to play."
Guest.013: "..."
The author has something to say: Guest.013: Can I get a full refund if I give up now...
Chapter 193 Suffocation┃In the suddenly silent dead world, the passers-by saw each other's faces distorted by lack of oxygen.
Forty men and one woman.
Guest.013 calmly counted the number of his opponents, and became more and more suspicious that the so-called "entertainment" was a scam.
He paid a lot of money to come, but the service he received was "41 dozen 41".No, from the most realistic description, I am afraid that "[-] against one" is more appropriate.
Guest.001-007 in the lounge next door was dispatched by seven people. Even with such a large number of people, they still went out and never came back.Now, Guest.013 feels that he might go to a place where the wounded are treated, and join them...
[Let these people jump out of the castle...]
