"I have a piece of paper here," said the youngest boy. "My role is... a descendant of a priest. My goal is... Oh, the mission prompt can't tell you."

The boy took out a piece of parchment with a simple map drawn on it.In this room escape project, each person has his own role to play, and the key props obtained by each person are different.Zhou Luoyang just remembered this, and glanced at the small package that the staff girl sent him when he came in.

Du Jing hung the bags of both of them on his body. While waiting, it was obvious that neither of them listened carefully.

"I'm the captain of the mercenaries," said the tall man, "and I have a Swiss Army knife in my bag."

Zhou Luoyang watched him casually play with the saber. Before he came in, the man had been looking at him from time to time.

The skinny young man in the shirt said: "I am a professor of theology at the university, and I have a flashlight."

The other students acted as Vietnamese overseas Chinese, botanists, and the initial prop in the bag was a kettle.

The student said, "I'm here to investigate the native plants, and..."

The mercenary captain waved his hand, indicating that the real purpose should not be told to others.

Zhou Luoyang said: "My avatar is... er, a tourist? This avatar is quite interesting, and I'm not given any props?"

Zhou Luoyang rummaged in the bag for a long time, turned upside down and shook it a few times, it was empty.

Du Jing said: "I am a local bodyguard hired by tourists."

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing and said, "Is the initial relationship between players allowed?"

"Of course," Du Jing said, "I chose it for both of us." But he didn't say what he packed in his bag.

"Let's find a way to open the door." The mercenary captain said.

"So now I'm an idiot tourist who can't do anything." Zhou Luoyang said seeing that everyone was trying to open the iron gate to get out.

Du Jing said politely: "Yes, you can sit down and rest for a while."

The tall and strong man who played the role of the mercenary captain gave a playful wink. After entering, he has been paying attention to Zhou Luoyang.

The "university professor" began to look down at the lock, saying, "I don't think this may be the door to get out, it's just for confusion."

Zhou Luoyang replied: "It's possible, what do you do?"

"Professor" said: "I'm a professor, and I have a broken flashlight." He took out the flashlight and shook it at Zhou Luoyang. Zhou Luoyang took it, but couldn't turn it on.

A college student and a high school student got together temporarily, and the botanist said: "Every brick has been pried, and there is no abnormality."

"There's a crack here," said the mercenary captain, "shall I use a tool to pry it open?"

"That's the door we came in." The youngest-looking boy reminded him kindly.

Everyone laughed, and Zhou Luoyang began to be able to tell who was who. This group of strangers didn't seem to care whether he could escape from the temple or not, and chatted casually. Everyone had known each other in the group before.

Only Zhou Luoyang hadn't joined their same-sex dating group, so he was confused and inexplicable.

After matching up, they began to call each other by the vests in the group, and soon separated into three small groups——Zhou Luoyang stood with the "professor" and studied the lock on the iron gate.

Du Jing stood with the mercenary captain and checked the walls of all areas.The two students rubbed their hands together and began to look at the ground.

"You were brought by Groot?" the "Professor" asked.

Zhou Luoyang wondered if he could pick the lock with a Swiss Army knife, and asked the professor when he was in a daze, "Who?"

"Professor" motioned him to look at Du Jing, and Zhou Luoyang nodded.

"Are you a couple?" the professor asked again.

Zhou Luoyang thought of Du Jing's previous arrangement, and showed a little embarrassment just right, but didn't answer.The professor stopped asking any more questions, and seemed to have lost interest in him, and turned around to look at the rest of the people.

"I think there is a problem here," the professor pointed to one of the places and said, "Only this area is a blind spot where the lights can't reach it at all."

"Let me see?" the mercenary captain said.

Everyone gathered around, and Du Jing said, "You won't be able to see even if you block it, give way a little bit." He asked Zhou Luoyang to stand behind him.

The botanist reached out to touch it, and said in the dark, "They are all ordinary iron railings, nothing strange."

"It's a little loose," Du Jing said with a little force, moving the iron railing up and down, "There must be a problem here."

Yes, Zhou Luoyang compared the other fences. All the fences were welded together, and only the iron rods in the dark made a sound.Everyone touched it in turn, and Du Jing said, "How about turning?"

The mercenary captain said, "I'll give it a try."

The mercenary captain turned around a few times, heard a sound, and pulled out the iron bar. The iron bar turned out to be a vertical latch, and then the iron fence in the dark was pulled inward.

Everyone applauded, and the young "priest" said: "It's not difficult."

The professor hummed, the atmosphere became a little more active, and the mercenary captain walked out first.After opening the first level, the surroundings became brighter, and everyone entered a wide room, with sixteen stone pillars totems, and a half-meter-high bronze statue in the center, and weird music was playing in the secret room, mixed with water. Voice.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing: "?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Luoyang thought that the secret room was too unprofessional. In the secret room of Khmer civilization, there was a Hindu Shiva inside.

"Are you attacking or receiving?" The "priest" boy suddenly appeared on the other side of the sculpture. Zhou Luoyang was concentrating on the bronze statue of Shiva, and was almost taken aback.

"Who are you in the group?" The teenager didn't wait for Zhou Luoyang to answer, he suddenly realized, and said, "It's Groot's friend."

"Yes." Zhou Luoyang nodded, "I didn't join your group."

"What do you do?" the boy asked again.

Zhou Luoyang smiled and said, "Tourists." Of course he understood what the boy meant, and he casually explained the additional content: "What about you, the shopkeeper?"

Zhou Luoyang noticed that his hands were white, slender, and beautiful.

The boy replied: "I play games, e-sports."

The mercenary captain also came over and joined their conversation: "Look what's under the Buddha statue."

"This is not a Buddhist sculpture," Zhou Luoyang said to the young man. "This is Shiva, the god of reproduction and destruction, one of the three major gods in Hinduism. It is said that the Ganges is the river formed by the confluence of his semen."

"You know a lot," said the captain. "You learned this?"

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer, but said, "Can this be moved? You have great strength, try it."

"Too heavy," said the priest.

"I'll do it." The captain rolled up his sleeves without missing the opportunity to show off.Zhou Luoyang observed for a moment, but immediately said: "No, no need."

team leader:"?"

Zhou Luoyang: "Generally, the mechanism that is too heavy and inconvenient to move is not an important object in the design of the secret room. They have to consider the comprehensive level of all players."

The captain nodded thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense."

The sculpture of Shiva looks like bronze, but it is actually made of cast iron with a layer of green paint on the surface.

Du Jing didn't know when he came over and stared at the two of them.

The captain smiled at Du Jing and said, "Groot?"

They had chatted in the group earlier, and they also knew that Du Jing would bring the goal of pursuit to the event today.

Du Jing nodded, and the captain stretched out his hand. The two didn't formally shake hands until then.Zhou Luoyang has been paying attention to him for a long time. This man has a masculine temperament, clean-shaven beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, always smiling, and friendly to others.

The figure is well managed, there should be a little muscle under the clothes, but it is not the type of fitness instructor.Looks handsome, very masculine.

Du Jing didn't avoid them either. When he arrived, he hugged Zhou Luoyang from behind and glanced at the little priest, who then left.

Du Jing whispered in his ear, "What did he say to you?"

"Hey, be careful," Zhou Luoyang said, "Escape from the secret room, and acting is also divided into occasions."

Du Jing's breath lingered in Zhou Luoyang's ears.

"Then tell me quickly." Du Jing ordered in an unquestionable tone.

Zhou Luoyang said in a low voice: "The professor asked about our relationship, and the priest asked who was above and who was below."

Du Jing: "Oh? How did you answer?"

Zhou Luoyang replied: "I said I don't know, I haven't slept with you yet. By the way, can I discuss the role if I have time?"

Du Jing said casually: "Is there a need to discuss this? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

"Hey," Zhou Luoyang felt that Du Jing was in danger, and said, "Calm down."

Du Jing said: "The original intention is to pick you up, why not restrain yourself? Come on, explain to me Shiva, where did the Ganges come from, why didn't you tell me?"

Zhou Luoyang: "Hey, hey...don't...they saw it!"

The two stood in front of Shiva, and Du Jing stood behind him, putting his arms around Zhou Luoyang, pulling his chin forcefully, and staring at his lips.

"They think we don't have a good relationship, so let's cooperate," Du Jing said blankly, "Be proactive, it's your turn today."

Many thoughts raced through Zhou Luoyang's mind. Knowing that Du Jing meant to let him kiss him, he said, "I don't."

"Get lost," Zhou Luoyang said again, "Go and solve the riddle."

Zhou Luoyang pushed him and told him to get out of here.I also saw the "professor" chatting with botanists and studying the stone pillar totem.So Du Jing walked over and joined their conversation.

Is the "professor" a suspect who is looking for a target?

Zhou Luoyang went to look at the bronze statue in the center.

"Handsome guy, look here."

As soon as Du Jing left, the "Captain" came again, patted Zhou Luoyang, and pointed to the back of the statue of Shiva, there was a very black hole on the pedestal.

"Hey!" Zhou Luoyang said to Du Jing, "Hey, come here."

After chatting with the botanist, the professor replied: "We found a stone pillar that can turn, it is very light, and it is made of wood."

"What's inside?" Du Jing asked.

The hole is very small, only allowing an adult's wrist to go in. The mercenary captain put his hand in. The botanist reminded: "Be careful of getting stuck."

"Ah!" The mercenary captain looked at Zhou Luoyang, and suddenly yelled exaggeratedly, which shocked everyone and hurried forward to help. Only Du Jing and the "professor" had calm expressions. At this moment, Zhou Luoyang Out of the corner of Luo Yang's eye, he caught a glimpse, and they looked at each other.

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Zhou Luoyang felt something unusual, but he didn't think about the meaning behind it, but the "priest" was taken aback, and quickly helped the man pull out his hand.

Sure enough, he was just teasing them, the captain pulled out his hand and patted the little priest's head by the way.

Du Jing said, "There must be a mechanism inside. Professor, can your flashlight work?"

"It can't be turned on." The "professor" adjusted the power supply with a non-lit flashlight, and the captain said, "What is your character set? This Buddha statue depends on you."

"I am a professor of theology." The "professor" replied, suddenly seemed to understand something, and said to the flashlight: "God said, let there be light."

The voice-activated flashlight lit up, and everyone applauded immediately. Zhou Luoyang was shocked.

"Let there be light." The "professor" tried again, and the flashlight went out. He realized that "there must be light" became the condition for voice control, so he took the flashlight and shone inwards. Looking at the bottom, it seems that there is indeed something, but I can't see it clearly.

Du Jing said: "This flashlight should be used in an iron cage."

"Yes," said the mercenary captain easily, "it just doesn't work."

Zhou Luoyang stood aside with the other two students, waiting for them to discuss the results, and found an interesting phenomenon, the escape room was divided into three attackers and three subjects.And Shou stood aside, watching the performance of Du Jing, "Professor" and "Mercenary Captain".

Escaping the secret room does not seem attractive to them. The most important thing is who among the three attacks is more suitable for them. After the game is over, they are interested in falling in love.

Looking at their current attitudes, the other two seem to be more interested in Du Jing, whose online name is "Groot".Because without counting the scars on his face, he was the most handsome of the three.And the imprint across the bridge of the nose after the disfigurement also made him appear more approachable.

The discussion came to a standstill. After a while, the mercenary captain said, "I don't know what will happen if I pour some water in it."

"I heard the sound of water," said the professor immediately, "I remember someone's prop was a kettle."

The botanist immediately took out the kettle. Du Jing said, "Listen to the sound to determine the water source nearby. The sound of water in the music may be a reminder."

Zhou Luoyang started to walk around, following the sound of water to find the source.

"Found it." Zhou Luoyang said.

Immediately afterwards, in a dark place, they found a small pool in a blind area of ​​sight, blocked by pillars.

There were about three liters of water in the pool. The mercenary captain took the kettle, filled it with water, and poured it into the hole. A wooden sign at the bottom floated up with a small key.

Just when the key floated up, all the lights in the secret room went out instantly, and it was pitch black.Several people suddenly shouted.

Zhou Luoyang immediately asked, "Where's the person?"

"Here." Du Jing replied, and took Zhou Luoyang's hand.

"God said, let there be light. God also said, don't be overly nervous." The professor's voice came from the darkness, and the voice-activated flashlight was turned on. The whole secret room became extremely scary, and then the music turned into a deep wind sound.

"Don't be afraid," the mercenary captain comforted, "it's part of the game."

Zhou Luoyang didn't know who was pretending to be afraid and who was really afraid, but it was obvious to the naked eye that this dark and unfamiliar dark room really promoted the sense of dependence between people.The flashlight flashed quickly, and Zhou Luoyang saw two people holding hands.

In just a split second, the light turned around.

"Take a picture behind you!" The botanist was obviously afraid of the dark.

"Farewell," Zhou Luoyang said, "The torch is dangling around, making my eyes uncomfortable."

"I, I, I... I'm a little afraid of the dark," said the botanist, "Can I go out? I give up and stop playing, can I?"

"It's all here," the "professor" said, "don't be afraid, I'll take you by the hand."

The mercenary captain said: "The key is in my hand, open the door, where is the door?"

There was a rumbling sound from the depths of the secret room. When looking for the door, the "Professor" glanced at the sculpture of Shiva inadvertently. Under the light of the flashlight, it revealed a strange feeling.

Zhou Luoyang felt that Du Jing was holding his hand a little tighter, and knew that he already knew it.

The mercenary captain took the youngest boy, the "professor" took the botanist, Du Jing took Zhou Luoyang, and they were divided into three groups.

Will the suspect be the "professor" or the "captain"?

"The door has been found," said the professor, "and there is a keyhole here."

The keyhole is hidden in the pattern, and the botanist asked, "Have you ever played in this secret room? I just looked for a long time and didn't find it."

The professor said, "No, that's pretty obvious, isn't it?"

"It's so obvious!" Zhou Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They had checked the walls several times. If it wasn't for the sound source from the secret room, no one would have noticed.Of course, he suspected that Du Jing had discovered it a long time ago, but he didn't want to make it too obvious. Maybe the whole secret room was as easy as kindergarten homework for him.

"The key," said the professor.

"I'm coming." The mercenary captain came over, unlocked the lock, and pushed the door. Inside was a long corridor separated by thin plates with multiple forks.

"I have a map," said the priest, using his props, "follow me."

The narrow passage was very dark, Du Jing glanced at the luminous pointer on the watch, and it had been a full hour and 10 minutes since he entered. The "professor" was still holding the college student by the hand, shining a flashlight on the map.

"This is the only way," said the priest.

Du Jing said, "Did you take down your map?"

Everyone laughed, and the priest turned the map around to find a way.

"What's written on the back?" Du Jing asked again.

"Groot, why are your eyes so sharp?" the priest laughed.

Du Jing didn't answer, but noticed that there were words on the back of the map.

"Stand with your chosen one," said the priest, "and the gods will send you where you are supposed to go."

Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang: "An ancient map of Khmer civilization, written in simplified Chinese characters, is very interesting."

Zhou Luoyang: "Does the King of Breaking Bad also operate as usual in the secret room?"

The professor said, "Let's take a look first."
