Tiandi Baiju

The moment the helicopter crashed, Du Jing resisted the impact for Zhou Luoyang and suffered two broken ribs.When he woke up the next day, Zhou Luoyang began to realize that something was wrong, because when Du Jing spoke, there was an obvious gap in his breathing.

Imprisoned in the KCR casino, there is really no condition for inspection.Fortunately, the fracture was in the ribs, and Du Jing had also learned how to deal with it, so he asked the bodyguard for an elastic chest strap, which went over the shoulders and back, and was simply tied on. After everything was over, he went to use X-rays for investigation.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Luoyang asked worriedly.

Du Jing inspected the box sent by KCR, and replied casually: "There will be no problem."

This morning, the rare rain stopped and the sun was shining brightly.Under the supervision of the bodyguards, the staff delivered the equipment for the two of them—Du Jing got a brand new knuckle, and Honghou thought that the original knuckle had an anesthetic on it, so he couldn't return it to him.

In addition, it is a suit tailored according to his figure, and a pair of sunglasses without electronic equipment.

"For the balance of the game," Hong Hou explained to them through the hands-free intercom phone in the room, "I made a small modification to the equipment of the two of you."

On the collar of Du Jing's shirt, there is an English name embroidered with gold thread: Hyp.

Zhou Luoyang got a set of tourist attire, white shirt, black shorts, and white sports shoes for easy movement.His code name is also embroidered in gold thread on the shirt: Tha.

Just as he was thinking about what these two names represented, Du Jing opened the box and let him take a look.

Inside was the lipstick gun.

Zhou Luoyang understood, and carefully put the lipstick gun into his trouser pocket.

"Please go when you are ready." Hong Hou's voice said on the phone, "I hope you have had enough rest these few days, so you won't be too nervous to fall asleep."

Zhou Luoyang said lightly, "It's okay."

Du Jing put on the Eye of Versailles.

"It seems that you cherish this watch very much," Hong Hou said.

Du Jing said casually: "If I die in the game, please let it be buried for me."

"I will definitely." Hong Hou replied relaxedly, "But don't underestimate yourself too much, even if you are injured and unable to move, your strength assessment is still very strong."

The bodyguard made a "please" gesture and took the two of them out.

They first passed a long corridor. Zhou Luoyang didn't ask him about Huang Ting's arrangements, and Du Jing didn't say anything. He just turned his head slightly, as if looking at the surrounding environment of this hidden casino through dark glasses.

Zhou Luoyang thought he was about to go out from the ground, just like when he was captured, he didn't expect that after entering the underground garage, there was a cement passage deep in the garage, and a sightseeing car was parked on the platform, and the bodyguard asked them to get in the car and go , but did not keep up with the car.

The sightseeing car started by itself and drove them into the darkness.

There was no light in the darkness, and there was a gust of wind ahead.

Zhou Luoyang's heart beat wildly. He finally understood why Marquis Hong was so overbearing. Once he entered this cement-sealed area, all communication instruments would completely lose their signal.

He held Du Jing's hand subconsciously, and Du Jing turned over his palm, his fingers tightened slightly, indicating that there is no need to worry.

The sightseeing car was entered into the automatic driving program, turned several times, and traveled for 15 minutes. The length of the underground cement tunnel has far exceeded one kilometer.Every time he passed a fork in the road, Zhou Luoyang wondered if he could escape by jumping off the car now?But presumably, since Hong Hou let them ride the sightseeing car alone in the dark, he had already prepared for it.Running around, only to end up starving to death in the dark.

Zhou Luoyang couldn't help but wonder, how much manpower and money would it take to dig such a tunnel in the mountains of Cambodia?Just to hold a competition is obviously not realistic.

Perhaps using an old underground site or catacomb for renovation?No, what underground ruins can stretch so long?

"It's too far away," Zhou Luoyang murmured in the dark, "Like an ant's nest."

Du Jing said: "I guess this used to be a mining area."

Zhou Luoyang immediately understood, and Du Jing added: "It later became one of the guerrilla bases of the Khmer Rouge."

After many twists and turns, the sightseeing car finally stopped at another platform with lights on. Hong Hou's voice came from the car: "You can get off now."

Du Jing glanced at his watch, and said to Zhou Luoyang, "It's been driving for 10 minutes."

The sightseeing car drove away, and the loudspeaker on the platform sounded Hong Hou's voice again: "Go forward, each enter a door, and your respective names have been written on the door."

Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang held hands and stood in front of the eight doors, which were named Tha, Hyp, and several other players. The eighth door on the far side had no name.

"That's it for now," Zhou Luoyang whispered, "We'll meet later."

Du Jing hesitated for a moment, then hooked his finger towards Zhou Luoyang, and Zhou Luoyang moved a little closer.

Du Jing lowered his head, kissed the corner of his mouth, gently shook off his sunglasses and put them on, and said, "Go."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

He knew that there were surveillance everywhere here, maybe at this moment, the live broadcast on the dark web had already started, and the audience was watching their every move.

The doors with the names of Hyp and Tha opened on both sides, and Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang entered separately.

The door closed, shutting Zhou Luoyang into a small room.

"Please pick up the wireless headset on your left and wear it all the time. This is one of your most important communication tools. Don't lose it." Hong Hou said, "Next, I wish you good luck."

Zhou Luoyang picked up the small headset on the table and put it on. This time the headset was replaced with another synthesized female electronic voice.

"Hello, Thanatos."

When Zhou Luoyang heard the name, he immediately understood what his and Du Jing's respective code names symbolized.Du Jing's "Hyp" is the abbreviation of "Hypnos", and his "Tha" is "Thanatos" - representing the god of sleep and death in Greek mythology!

These two gods are a pair of twin brothers, does it have anything to do with him being the only weapon that can kill people?

"It seems that I want to faithfully play a god of death." Zhou Luoyang looked around the furnishings in the room, there was nothing but the table, which was still welded to the ground, and there was a surveillance camera on the ceiling.

The electronic voice didn't answer at first, but replied after a few seconds: "Yes. Next, please don't be distracted and listen to your game mission carefully. The prompt information is only played once, which is related to the final game outcome."

Zhou Luoyang frowned slightly, thinking whether the voice came from artificial intelligence, or the human voice had been processed, it seemed neither.The electronic voice can obviously judge his inquiry and give an answer, but the speed will be delayed. Is it because of the problem of data transmission?

"Wait for other players to be ready." The electronic voice said again.

Zhou Luoyang fell silent, and a few minutes later, the electronic voice sounded again: "All players are ready."

"You are a tourist who yearned for Khmer culture since childhood, and was obsessed with the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat. You quit your job, saved a fortune, and came to this strange country to fulfill your childhood dream."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Oh, this is too bullying. I have worked so hard to save a fortune, and the final destination is Angkor Wat? I would rather go to Rome. The cultural confidence of your Cambodians is even more exaggerated than that of Koreans... ..."

"You're hiring locally... ha, ha, ha... please don't interrupt."

"Search the text list, go back to the beginning of the sentence."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

The sentence "Search the text list, return to the beginning of the sentence" was pronounced in English, but Zhou Luoyang immediately judged the truth of the electronic sound!This is manipulative!The embarrassing simulated laughter showed that someone entered text, and then converted it into voice through a translator, communicating with Zhou Luoyang, the contestant!

The explanation of the game rules is a copy and paste text entered in advance, which will be completely recounted without being interrupted.

In other words, behind this electronic sound, there is a controller inputting instructions.

Knowing this may seem useless, but it may be of great help to Zhou Luoyang at certain critical moments.

"...a young man in the local area is living in poverty after his mercenary career. He keeps asking to be your bodyguard and get a sum of money to bury his comrades."

"In the end, you agreed to let him accompany you into the Angkor Wat ruins because he lacked the necessary identification. You didn't suspect it, but before entering Angkor Wat, you picked up a dropped weapon at the entrance of the ruins... ..."

At the same time, the room shook violently and roared!

Amidst the deafening voice, Zhou Luoyang was almost unable to stand still, barely holding on to the table, and the electronic voice without any emotional fluctuations continued: "You entered the ruins, started to explore, and accidentally broke through the mechanism of Angkor, in a Fell into the ground in the dark alley..."

"Wait!" Zhou Luoyang shouted.

That room was indeed an elevator, and the elevator fell rapidly like a jumping machine, Zhou Luoyang's heart couldn't bear it.

"...In the dark underground world, you must find a way to leave here alive and meet the bodyguards as soon as possible..."

The room suddenly turned over, the door opened, and Zhou Luoyang was thrown with that force, and Zhou Luoyang immediately fell into a slope-like passage, shouting: "Wait!"

"Remind again, please wear the earphones at all times during the expedition. Losing the earphones will result in death penalty..."

"Do not exchange any real-world content with any player in the arena, including but not limited to name and other identity information, otherwise you will be punished. After three punishments, your game will end. You only have one life, please be careful. "

"The relationship between the characters in the qualifiers has been adjusted, please do not apply the hatred mode in the qualifiers."

"For the sake of caution, don't trust anyone, including teammates who have the same short-term goals as you, and don't tell anyone about your belongings."

Zhou Luoyang slid through the entire tunnel and bumped into a movable secret door. With a loud shout, he smashed open the secret door and fell into the darkness.

Fortunately, there was a cushion in the darkness. After Zhou Luoyang fell, he was immediately caught by a soft mass.

That's a big sponge.

"I wish you a smooth customs clearance." After the electronic voice finished the last sentence, it fell into silence.

Holding the sponge, Zhou Luoyang stood up slowly, surrounded by darkness.

He didn't speak, but heard a voice not far away, "Is anyone there?"

"Yes!" said another voice immediately, "let me out!"

Zhou Luoyang got up, but accidentally bumped into the iron fence, making a loud noise.

"How many people are here?" Another man's voice asked.

"Don't move around," Du Jing's patient voice sounded in the darkness, "I'll find a way to come out after my eyes get used to the darkness."

Hearing Du Jing's voice, Zhou Luoyang felt relieved a lot. He groped around in the dark, and all he touched were brick and stone walls. This was an extremely small prison cell, with only a fence in front of it, and a lock was hung on the fence.

His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he saw the fluorescent dial on Du Jing's wrist not far away.

Unlike the first time, they were locked in the same cell.Instead, there are one, two, three... seven, seven cells in total.

The seven contestants were detained separately.

"light."

Someone turned on the light and shone towards them. The pale light was extremely dazzling. Du Jing immediately said: "Don't turn on the light, save the battery."

Zhou Luoyang quickly regained his composure, and tried to move the lock on the prison door. It was heavier than the escape room in Wanshi, and it seemed harder to break.

"I am your ruler, now, the key clue to successfully escape is related to Cell No. [-]," at this time, the electronic voice came from the earphone, saying, "But now, don't tell the contestants in Cell No. [-]. "

Zhou Luoyang was startled, as expected, someone issued an order to the player!Who are they?Is it the audience?

"Don't open your mouth to answer. Next, you have to find a way to convince the No. [-] contestant to open the cell door for you and rescue you." The electronic voice said again.

Through the faint light, Zhou Luoyang saw several people in the cell, all subconsciously raised their hands, and pressed the earphones.

Only in cell No. [-], there was no movement. The player didn't seem to have received any instructions, or maybe the "manipulator" behind him was missing key clues.

"Let's count first," said a familiar voice, "How many people are there in total? Can you understand what I'm saying?"

That was Lu Zhongyu's voice!Finally met him!

"Yes," said another strange voice from the previously brightly lit cell, "from the very inside, you are all Chinese..."

Immediately afterwards, an English warning came from the cell corridor.

"Violation of the rules, light punishment, your remaining punishment times: 2."

Suddenly, there was a scream in the cell!

The corridor fell into silence, no one spoke.

"Damn it," said the strange voice panting after a while, "the earphones have power!"

"Don't take it off." Du Jing said.

After another moment of silence, Du Jing said, "Is it better? Be careful and report the number."

"One," someone said, "am I number one?"

Lu Zhongyu said, "Two."

A strange voice said: "Three."

"Four." Someone in Cell No. [-] replied.

There was a moment of silence, and no one spoke in the fifth cell.

Du Jing said: "I am the sixth, there is someone opposite me, but he doesn't speak, I heard the voice."

Zhou Luoyang was in the innermost cell and said, "I should be the seventh."

"It's 25:[-]." Du Jing's voice said.

"This tour..." said the person in Cell No. [-], "This adventure is unlimited in time."

"Damn it," the man was still talking to himself in the cell No. [-] that was electrocuted, "Damn it! I'm like a beast!"

"What do you guys do?" Zhou Luoyang said suddenly, "I'm a tourist, and in the other cell are my hired bodyguards."

Du Jing kicked the cell door lightly and made a soft noise, indicating that I am the bodyguard and I am here.

"I'm a botanist," said the person in cell No. [-], "overseas Chinese."

"I am the captain of the mercenary," said Lu Zhongyu's voice in the No. [-] cell, "come in to investigate the underground ruins."

"I'm a professor, a professor of theology." In cell No. [-], the man who was electrocuted obviously still felt a little pain, and said, "I'm here to investigate."

"I'm Vietnamese, an archaeologist," said the man in cell four.

The cell group fell into silence again. At this moment, Zhou Luoyang's earphone issued an order.

"Among these people, there is a killer," the headset said, "extremely dangerous. Once you find out the other person's identity during the process, you must try to kill him as soon as possible, but don't use a gun. Remember that you only have one bullet and save it for last. "

Everyone stopped talking at the same time, Zhou Luoyang thought that they must also be listening to the instructions in the earphones at this time, and the instructions must be quite different, after all, others don't have a gun like him.

Compared with the previous Chamber of Secrets entertainment, this game has one more archaeologist, and it is obvious that everyone in the scene has become more serious and talks less.

Lu Zhongyu said: "Let's think of a way to get out first."

"The lock can't be opened," the botanist said with a clattering sound in Cell No. [-], "this lock cannot be broken by violence, hello! Look at the lock? There is still a key locked in the lock."

Zhou Luoyang touched the lock and said, "Wait? What do you mean?"

The headset said right away: "Don't tell them you don't have a key in your lock."

"The lock in each cell passes through the hole of another key, and a key is locked." Lu Zhongyu replied.

But Zhou Luoyang didn't touch the key to the lock.

"Need the first one," Du Jing said, "outside the wall of one of our cells. Hey, number five, are you still alive?"

If there were no accidents in Cell No. [-], it should be the priest, but he never said a word.

Lu Zhongyu: "Who told you about the key?"

Du Jing didn't answer, and the archaeologist said, "Who has the lamp? Turn on the lamp and see?"

"Professor?" Zhou Luoyang said.

The professor replied, "I don't want to turn on the light right now."

Zhou Luoyang thought about it, suspecting that the "professor" gave him instructions through his earphones.

"Tell him, you know where the clues are." The headset said again, "After you get the key, let him open the door of your bodyguard first, and then let your bodyguard open the door of your cell."

"I know where it is," Zhou Luoyang said immediately, "There is a key on the wall to your left, botanist."

The person in Cell No. [-] immediately turned around and said, "I can't see."

"I saw it," Lu Zhongyu said, "click on the left."

Everyone stared at the "Botanist", he reached out to reach it, but the difference was still less than ten centimeters.

"Look for tools," Du Jing said again, "there must be tools in the cell."

Everyone began to grope around in the dark cell, and finally Zhou Luoyang found a detachable iron rod on his iron gate with a ring on the head.

"Come on, use this!" Zhou Luoyang rolled the iron rod along the ground.

The botanist took off the key, reached out tremblingly, and tried to open his own lock.

"Don't be nervous." Everyone comforted.

"It can't be opened." The botanist's heavy breathing came from the darkness, and then he said to himself, "This key can only open the door of other people's cells."

Zhou Luoyang immediately understood that the key's opening mechanism was all designed.

"Let him open the bodyguard's door first." Said in the headset.

Zhou Luoyang said, "Open the door of Cell No. [-] first."

Du Jing said, "Throw over the key."

The botanist made no move.

"Open mine first." In cell No. [-], the "professor" said immediately.

In Cell No. [-], the archaeologist also said, "Open mine first."

Du Jingdao: "Open mine, this is a chain key, open a cell door, other people can be opened."

The botanist said, "Who should I listen to?"

Zhou Luoyang replied, "You decide for yourself."

Lu Zhongyu said: "Vote, I vote for number six."

"Do you know each other?" "Professor" No. [-] asked suspiciously.

No one answered, and after a while, the botanist said, "Three votes for number six."

"Then I'll vote for number six too," said the "professor" in cell number three.

After finishing speaking, he threw the key to Du Jing.Du Jing tried to unlock the lock and opened it, but the moment the lock was unscrewed, the key was stuck in the lock hole and could not be pulled out again. Du Jing twisted it hard a few times, trying to get the key out by locking it again , however fails.

The other key that was locked in the lock came out, so Du Jing also had a key in his hand.

"Let your bodyguard open yours first." An instruction came from the headset.

However, Zhou Luoyang didn't say a word. Seeing Du Jing walk out of the cell, he walked towards him without any hesitation.

"Go drive someone else's." Zhou Luoyang said to Du Jing, "Look at what's in cell No. [-]."

Du Jing reached out his hand to touch the lock, and immediately understood, with a low "hush", he turned and walked towards Lu Zhongyu's cell.

"Open mine," said the botanist, shaking the fence.

The electronic voice said to Zhou Luoyang: "Why didn't you obey my order?"

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer, and the electronic voice said seriously: "I can punish you, but now I don't think it's necessary. You'd better obey me honestly."

Zhou Luoyang still didn't answer. Hearing the sound of the cell door, Du Jing released Lu Zhongyu.

After Lu Zhongyu got his key, he also walked towards Zhou Luoyang. Zhou Luoyang said in a low voice, "Go open someone else's, I should be the last one..."

Du Jing: "Are you sure?"

Lu Zhongyu didn't answer, and opened the door of Zhou Luoyang's cell. Then he was shocked, yelled, and fell to the ground twitching continuously.

"Wait!" Zhou Luoyang said, "What's wrong with you?"

"I violated the order..." Lu Zhongyu took a while to recover, struggled to get up, and said, "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

"Boss, come out." Du Jing said.

The cell door was opened, and Du Jing took Zhou Luoyang's hand and led him out.

Zhou Luoyang was the only one. He didn't get the next key, and he got stuck at this point in the mission.The remaining people were locked in the remaining four cells, and no one spoke, watching the three of them.

All of a sudden, Zhou Luoyang felt that the scene was extremely terrifying. Just like that, the remaining cells could no longer be opened.
