Tiandi Baiju

No one spoke, Zhou Luoyang, Du Jing and Lu Zhongyu escaped from the prison and stood in the corridor.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Luoyang's voice trembled.

"This is a very good design," Du Jing said to himself, "four players were eliminated in the first level."

Lu Zhongyu looked around, and the other four fell silent.

The "professor" said: "You have done a good job, and the rest of you will be imprisoned here and starved to death."

Zhou Luoyang suddenly understood why Hong Hou repeatedly emphasized that he needed to be smart to play this game.As long as he doesn't say anything, no one will know that the unlocking cycle is interrupted by him, that is to say, if the botanist saves the first person, everyone except the "tourist" will be eliminated.

The next few steps when it was his turn decided how many people survived the first level.

"Think of a way," Zhou Luoyang said helplessly, "There must be a way."

"Not necessarily." Du Jing replied indifferently, "Let's go."

Du Jing came to the end of the prison corridor, pushed down one of the stone slabs, revealed the deep passage behind, and found the exit of the first level.

"No no," Zhou Luoyang turned his head and said, "I can't go, the next checkpoint still needs the things they carry."

Du Jing said: "After they die of starvation, we will come back and search the body, and that will be solved. Let's explore the road ahead first."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

The archaeologist in Cell No. [-] cursed and said, "They're all Chinese! They're all taken hostages! You're going to die like this!"

Lu Zhongyu said: "Don't scold people, let's go ahead and check the situation, and we will be back later."

Du Jing pushed Zhou Luoyang and said, "Listen to me, let's go."

Zhou Luoyang couldn't accept it anyway, and left the rest of the people here waiting to die, but Du Jing pulled his hand and pressed it on his dial. Zhou Luoyang immediately remembered, so he nodded and followed Du Jing into the narrow aisle.

After the break, Lu Zhongyu followed in, closed the stone door casually, and tried to push it again, wanting to confirm whether he could return to the cell.

"It can't be opened." Lu Zhongyu said.

Du Jing said: "Then let them resign themselves to their fate."

Zhou Luoyang still couldn't help looking back, and saw Lu Zhongyu's face in the dark.

He knew that Lu Zhongyu must have a lot to say, but he was afraid of the "punishment" in the earphones, so he didn't dare to speak casually.In fact, when Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing spoke, Lu Zhongyu should have recognized it.

He should be able to guess that the two of them came to rescue him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to open Zhou Luoyang's cell door as soon as he got the key.

"There is no water or food in the cell," Zhou Luoyang said. "They may really starve to death."

Du Jingyun replied calmly: "Four people will be eliminated in the first level. This game will only be refunded by bad reviews. If they guess correctly, someone will remind them soon that there is a spare key."

Zhou Luoyang fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the remaining cells, the "Professor" sighed and sat down.

"We still have a key," the botanist suddenly said in Cell No. [-], "but I don't know where it is, let's look for it?"

Several people stood up one after another as if they had hope.

"In No. [-]." In cell No. [-], the archaeologist pressed the headset and said to the opposite side, "No. [-], did you hear that? It's in your cell, check carefully."

"Professor" said, "Check everything out."

Cell No. [-] did not make a sound. After a while, there was the sound of tearing the sponge pad, followed by a soft sound, the crisp sound of the key falling on the ground.

"Open mine," said the botanist, "the key is in my lock!"

"We have all," said the professor, "and there will be no previous problems. Throw the key over, to whomever you want."

However, the player in cell door No. [-] used that key to open his own cell door, took the key given on the lock, and walked out.

Du Jing pushed open the second door and entered a vast hall.

The ground is quite cold, and there are blazing braziers around the hall, and a statue of a god—a monkey god with a strange appearance—is erected in the center.With eight hands and four sides, holding a copper hammer, the tail is extremely long, bent into a rugged shape behind the back.

The three of them saw their faces clearly. Zhou Luoyang glanced at Lu Zhongyu. Lu Zhongyu was wearing an off-road military uniform. He was already tall, but now he looked more like a mercenary captain.

Only compared to before, his face was a lot haggard, and now he looked at the two with a grateful expression.

Zhou Luoyang remembered that Lu Zhongyu said that he liked outdoor sports and hiking, and he was physically strong.

"What is this?" Lu Zhongyu said, "Monkey King?"

"Explain," Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang, "Do you know?"

"Hanuman," Zhou Luoyang took off his peaked cap. Although the underground space was well ventilated, the oppressive environment always made him feel a little tired. "The monkey god in Hinduism."

"The tail is movable." Lu Zhongyu tried to move it, but couldn't disassemble it, and said, "Find a lever, maybe you can pry open the iron bars of the previous cell."

Du Jing looked back at where he came from, then looked down at his watch, it was [-]:[-] noon.

"Are you hungry?" Du Jing asked Zhou Luoyang.

"A little bit." Zhou Luoyang said, "But I'm thirsty."

He didn't eat much for breakfast, and what's more, he didn't drink much water. After entering the underground world, he started to feel thirsty.

Du Jing said: "It should be arranged to eat, but I think that lunch can only be served if the mystery here is solved."

The headset said: "You have to go to the next secret room to drink water. The longer the delay, the worse it will be for you."

The earphones hadn't made a sound for a long time, Zhou Luoyang didn't pay attention at this moment, and was taken aback.

"Take a break first." Du Jing asked Zhou Luoyang to sit down beside him, turned his head to look, and saw Lu Zhongyu returned to the narrow and long secret passage.

"Where are you going?" Du Jing frowned.

Lu Zhongyu returned to the hall and said, "The door opened again."

Zhou Luoyang raised his head, and Lu Zhongyu said, "It turned out that they were locked in the cell, and everyone else disappeared."

Twelve o'clock sharp.

In Du Jing's hand, the hands of the Eye of Versailles overlapped and spread apart, like a mysterious lotus flower blooming in the deep space of the universe. The ripples of time spread heavily, bringing the two back to the noon of the previous day at the same time

"Du Jing." Zhou Luoyang said.

"Hmm." Du Jing was sitting by the window basking in the sun, and answered him.

"I'm so tired," Zhou Luoyang said, "I'll take a nap first."

The next day, Zhou Luoyang made enough preparations in advance and drank a lot of water, but this brought another problem: there seemed to be no toilet in the secret room, so what should I do if I pee?But since food and drink are prepared, there must be a place to go to the toilet.

Do it again in 24 hours, and when he was thrown into the secret room again, Zhou Luoyang was prepared. He covered his head with his hands and slid onto the sponge pad. Time went back and everything repeated itself, but this time, when the botanist asked: "First open whose prison door?" He did not speak.

"Open mine." The "Professor" said in the No. [-] cell door.

"Open number seven." Lu Zhongyu said.

"No," Zhou Luoyang said anxiously, "You can throw the key to whoever you want." He pointed to the opposite side: "Anyone is fine."

In the earphone, the electronic voice said: "Tha, what does your gesture mean? Tell him to open the bodyguard's door first, or I will punish you."

Zhou Luoyang didn't listen to the instructions from the earphones this time, he already understood roughly, and now there must be quite a few viewers watching them escape from the real-life escape room.Each side bets on them and issues instructions to them through headsets and translation software.

Then, Zhou Luoyang was shocked.

Zhou Luoyang yelled in pain. The current was more terrifying than he had imagined. The earphones were not big, but he didn't expect to be able to emit such a strong instantaneous current. When it was attached to the metal area behind the ear, it knocked him down. On the ground, the whole body twitched.

At that moment, Zhou Luoyang's strongest feeling was: I'm going to die.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang from the cell door No. [-] opposite!Zhou Luoyang was still lying on the ground panting, but he heard panicked shouts from several cells.

"Save your energy!"

"Do not impulse!"

"calm!"

Du Jing shouted: "Luoyang!"

In an instant, Du Jing slammed into the cell door like a beast. Zhou Luoyang knew that Du Jing's cry had frightened him, so he hurriedly said, "I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm fine..."

"I was shocked." Zhou Luoyang was out of breath, his heart convulsed by the electric current, and he finally calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, Du Jing was also shocked for calling out Zhou Luoyang's name. He did not fall down, but barely supported himself, with a look of hatred in his eyes. The electric current seemed to arouse his manic impulse. Du Jing turned around, and then He suddenly raised his foot and kicked hard on the prison door!

There was another deafening bang, the cell door was kicked loose, the concrete above the head shook, and dust fell.

Zhou Luoyang immediately said, "Don't be impulsive!"

"Warning," the announcement sounded in the corridor, "If you break the rules of the game, you will be punished by death."

Du Jing grabbed the fence and panted unwillingly like a fierce dog. Zhou Luoyang knew that he was stimulated by the electric shock, and said, "I'm fine! Go on... open the door, shall we? Come on, let's hurry up."

The botanist threw the key to cell door No. [-] on the opposite side. The professor opened his own iron door and came to check on Zhou Luoyang first.

"I was also electrocuted just now," said the professor, "I'll be fine in a while."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Open mine last, save them first."

The professor opened the door of Lu Zhongyu's cell. Lu Zhongyu got the key, opened door No. [-], and released the archaeologist. The archaeologist released the botanist No. [-]. Everyone went to the door of No. [-] and opened the door of No. [-] cell.

"It's you?" Lu Zhongyu said in the dark.

"Who is it?" Zhou Luoyang asked, full of surprise.

The man still didn't speak.After Lu Zhongyu opened the door, the professor quickly caught the key and came over to open Du Jing's cell door.Du Jing rushed out like a gust of wind and released Zhou Luoyang.

In this way, seven people were all out of trouble.The first thing Du Jing did was to press Zhou Luoyang's head and check his neck, which was quite rough.

"Easy." Zhou Luoyang whispered.

Du Jing confirmed that Zhou Luoyang was not injured, and withdrew his hand. Zhou Luoyang patted him on the shoulder, meaning don't worry.

"Let's go." Zhou Luoyang said, but when he turned around, he bumped into someone.

"It's me." Lu Zhongyu said beside him.

Everyone was groping forward in the dark, Du Jing just didn't speak, Zhou Luoyang was in a bad mood, don't get sick in the secret room, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

He held Du Jing's hand tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, based on his memory, he groped around the wall, found the stone door from yesterday, pushed it open, and said, "Let's go in and have a look first."

"Let me lead," said the archaeologist.

The professor didn't know who to tell: "You two go last, take care of each other."

The botanist responded.

Lu Zhongyu said, "Are you all okay?"

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer. When he pushed open the door of the hall, the hall was brightly lit, and everyone was a little blinded by the shaking.This next week, Luoyang saw everyone's faces clearly.

"Professor" he had seen before, it was Xiao Wu.Compared with the appearance after face-lifting on Douyin, the professor looks a little rough, with a haggard and tired face, and wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses.

Botanists and archaeologists are not in the missing persons photos.Next is Lu Zhongyu, and... Ruan Song.

When he saw Ruan Song, Zhou Luoyang didn't speak for a while, and Ruan Song also looked at them in silence, with obvious hatred in his eyes.

"You are a priest." Zhou Luoyang murmured.

"Yes," Ruan Song replied coldly, "I have a map."

Zhou Luoyang wanted to ask Ruan Song why he came in, but that didn't matter, he had already come, and if he mentioned something outside the scene, he would receive another electric shock.

Xiao Wu sat on the ground, stroked his hair, let out a sigh of relief, and looked up at everyone.

The seven began a long silence under the lights.

"Can we all go out?" Lu Zhongyu said suddenly.

The botanist was a tall and thin young man who said, "If you go out, you will definitely be able to go out. The only difference is whether you are alive or dead."

Zhou Luoyang suddenly found it very funny, even if it wasn't the time to make jokes.

The botanist showed them the words embroidered on his clothes, with English letters on it: "Kun".

"Call you Kun." Xiao Wu said, "I don't think we can all get out alive."

Ruan Song said calmly: "In this secret room, people will definitely die. It is impossible for none of them to die. In the end, only one person can get out alive. If you are lucky, at most two."

"Really?" Zhou Luoyang didn't know when the electric shock would be induced, and he was gradually probing, "Have you ever played?"

"I want to know." Ruan Song said indifferently.

"Your name is too difficult to pronounce." Lu Zhongyu said to Du Jing.

"Call him Groot." Zhou Luoyang finished his sentence without waiting for the second electric shock.

Everyone nodded, Du Jing didn't speak, just stood silently.

The archaeologist shows them his collar, which has "Denam" embroidered on it.

"'Deng' or 'De'an,'" the archaeologist said, "is fine."

A voice came from Zhou Luoyang's earphones: "Hurry up and crack the second level."

Zhou Luoyang observed the others, and everyone's expressions changed slightly. It was obvious that instructions came from the earphones. When he looked up again, he saw twelve surveillance cameras on the ceiling, facing different directions.

He glanced at Du Jing's watch, it was 24:[-] - this time he didn't go back to [-] hours ago.But Zhou Luoyang didn't worry, as long as they wanted, they could go back to midnight of this day first, start it again, and go back to noon of the previous day, so they could go back in time.

Now that seven people have passed the first level alive, there is no need to forcibly backtrack.

"Groot." Zhou Luoyang glanced at Du Jing.

Du Jing hummed and stood still.

"Go and think of a way," Zhou Luoyang said, "how to pass the second secret room."

Everyone took a brief rest for a while and dispersed to all corners of the secret room. Lu Zhongyu carefully inspected the statue, while others looked up at the wall.

"What is this?" Lu Zhongyu asked.

"The monkey god Hanuman," Zhou Luoyang explained, "is a god in the Hindu pantheon."

Xiao Wu was observing the two of them. As soon as Zhou Luoyang met his eyes, the other party immediately turned his head away.But after Du Jing was quiet for a while, he seemed to be getting better. He walked to the statue and began to solve the mystery seriously.
