"I can't hear what you said." The voice of the translator in the headset said, "But we can find a way together to solve this mystery, don't disobey my orders, I want you to survive more than anyone else, after all I I have placed a lot of bets on you."

Zhou Luoyang speculated that the Dominator might be able to see the layout of the room through the camera, which meant that he could see the key hanging on the wall that was blocked in the blind corner of his line of sight before.

But after arriving in the second room, the position seen by the ruler from the monitoring angle is similar to the area in the player's line of sight, and they can't get more effective clues.

This is an interesting match, as long as it doesn't cost lives - Zhou Luoyang thought to himself.

The intricate identities of the contestants and the mutual distrust between people are like the Tower of Babel separating them. Every link uses a pre-designed mechanism to cause mutual suspicion among the contestants.In addition, behind each contestant, there is a ruler who is giving them instructions.

But this order is not [-]% executed, and the player cannot communicate directly with the ruler behind it.

The player's voice was cut off midway, and the rulers could only judge whether he had faithfully executed the order through the images sent back.

But the monitoring is still there. Zhou Luoyang judged intuitively that there must be another monitoring party in the dark, who is watching their movements closely, and all the sounds and images will be transmitted to them intact, that is, Honghou's. team.

Each Dominator has three punishment chances, once they are used up, the player may be electrocuted directly, or may be out of the game.So the ruler must also carefully consider how to make the player obedient without electrocuting him prematurely.

But the ruler's instructions are not completely wise, and some places require players to judge by themselves, which forms a game.

There are deceptions and games everywhere, big and small, between players, between players and secret rooms, between players and rulers... Zhou Luoyang thought to himself, if Le Yao knew that he had participated in this kind of competition, he didn't know what he would think.

I hope that Du Jing has made arrangements before coming in. Zhou Luoyang doesn't want to see anyone die. If everyone is alive and passes the final test together, what will the result be?

This is a difficult but challenging idea.

"Groot?" Thinking of this, Zhou Luoyang said anxiously, "How's the situation?"

"Why don't you come closer?" the Dominator said in the headset.

Zhou Luoyang still didn't take any action. He didn't want to cooperate too much with the ruler behind him. He stood five meters away from the statue and observed Du Jing.

Hanuman, the gilded monkey god, hides half of his face in the shadows, creating a strange atmosphere.

"The monkey god's tail can turn." Lu Zhongyu said.

"Try." Xiao Wu and Lu Zhongyu worked together to shake Hanuman's tail, and the pedestal made a dull sound. The monkey god turned towards the center and began to rotate. After a circle, it returned to its original position.

Du Jing raised his head to check the monkey god's face, Lu Zhongyu shook off the Swiss Army knife provided by the game, and pried the joint between Hanuman's tail and body.

"Don't brute force," Kun said, "If you break it, you will be electrocuted."

This must be the cue from the earphones.Du Jing, Kun, Lu Zhongyu, Xiao Wu and De'an gathered around the sculpture, only Zhou Luoyang and Ruan Song stood aside.

Zhou Luoyang glanced at Ruan Song, but Ruan Song avoided his gaze.

The Dominator said in the headset, "Look at its eyes, or its weapon, or whatever."

The ruler of Zhou Luoyang's group obviously had some experience.

"Let me take a look." Zhou Luoyang finally came to the sculpture and stared at the monkey god, who looked at the opposite wall with his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the wall, but there was nothing unusual.

The ruler said, "Where is the rotation?"

Zhou Luoyang said, "Turn again?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Luoyang, and Lu Zhongyu shook the monkey god's tail and turned it around again. At this moment, Xiao Wu immediately said, "Wait a minute."

Xiao Wu pressed the headset, thought for a while, and said, "I think the monkey god's eyes can shine."

"What do you think this is?" Kun said. "Like a sink."

Kun pointed to the back of the monkey god, and everyone went to look at it. There was a small hole for water injection behind the monkey god's raised tail.

Du Jing took a closer look, and saw that there seemed to be holes in Hanuman's gem-set, one red and one green eyes, and he turned to look at the brazier.

"It's very hot." Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, and bowed to push the brazier, but there was no movement.

"Use this." Kun took out a glass bottle with a screw cap, unscrewed the cap, and walked to the brazier, under which was burning fire oil.

"It will explode." Lu Zhongyu said.

"It should be heat resistant," Kun said.

Xiao Wu said: "Try, don't break it."

Xiao Wu and Du Jing worked together to gently push the brazier to tilt it, and the kerosene in the brazier was slowly poured into the glass bottle.The flames were still burning, Zhou Luoyang said: "Enough! The ground is about to grow!"

The kerosene burned the ground immediately, but there was only a small puddle, and it would extinguish itself after being allowed to burn for a while.Then they poured oil into Hanuman's tail, and when the oil was lit, the flames flew up and surrounded the whole body of the monkey god, sending out a puff of smoke.

Du Jing took off his suit, covered Zhou Luoyang's mouth and nose, and told him to back off a little.

Flames shot up behind the monkey god, and the light projected from the eyes, and the two lights in the eyes projected on the wall.

"Nothing." Ruan Song finally spoke.

Zhou Luoyang followed the order of the ruler and said, "Turn it around again, and slow down."

Everyone started to rotate the monkey god statue again, and the light swept across the wall. When it was facing northeast, a small window appeared on the wall, reflecting the light.The windows were fastened to the walls and were of the same color, only the reflections made them visible.

"What's inside?" Everyone began to study the small glass window.

"I can't see it," Du Jing said, "One-way glass."

Everyone reached out and touched it, not knowing how to open it, and after solving the first mystery, the process got stuck again.

The archaeologist De'an suddenly stood up and said, "Try using brute force?"

Du Jing seldom spoke since Zhou Luoyang was shocked. Zhou Luoyang was afraid that he would turn depressed at this time, but he didn't dare to say more.

"Brute force cracking will result in electricity." Lu Zhongyu said.

"Let's go electric," De'an said, "I haven't been shocked yet, so I'll accompany you once."

Zhou Luoyang's ruler suddenly said in the headset: "Don't get close to it."

At this time, Du Jing got up, put on the knuckles, and wrapped his fists with a suit jacket.Zhou Luoyang held Du Jing back. At this moment, he decided to listen to the ruler.

But there are always people who want to try. The archaeologist Dean said: "Give me the weapon, and I will do it."

Du Jing glanced at De'an and handed him the things.De'an said, "Give way." After everyone retreated a little, he punched the small glass window with his knuckles. The glass window made a soft sound, shattered inward, and flew away.

"Hey," Dean said, trying his knuckles again, "good stuff."

Du Jing looked at De'an, and De'an finally returned the knuckles to him. He reached into the glass window cabinet and touched it, saying, "There should be a key... hey!"

Just when everyone calmed down.

De'an yelled instantly, and everyone yelled suddenly, only to see him drag a snake out from the glass window!

The snake bit the back of his hand, and instantly entangled his right hand. Zhou Luoyang immediately stepped forward to save him, but Kun shouted, "Take him to the fire! Be careful not to splash it!"

Zhou Luoyang immediately brought De'an to the brazier. The snake was roasted and fell into the brazier, covered in kerosene, and then flew out in an instant, rolling and struggling on the ground with the flames.

The snake was burned to death, but De'an had already been bitten on the back of his hand.

In an instant, his face turned pale, and Zhou Luoyang immediately bit the hem of his shirt, tore a strip of cloth, and quickly wrapped it around his wrist to stop the blood flow.

"Squeeze down and have a look." Xiao Wu also panicked.

De'an began to suck the back of his hand hard, spitting out poisonous blood.

The Dominator said to Zhou Luoyang through the headset: "He's dead, don't worry about him, go check the cabinet."

Du Jing suddenly said, "What did you find in the cabinet?"

De'an said, "No...only this snake!"

"I'm talking about you," Du Jing said indifferently, "priest."

In an instant, everyone looked at Ruan Song who was standing aside, and Zhou Luoyang immediately understood—when De'an was poisoned, Ruan Song took advantage of the confusion and touched the glass cabinet.

"This." Ruan Song took out his hand from his pocket, spread it open, and a brass key appeared in his hand.

"Find the keyhole," Lu Zhongyu said, "find a place for De'an to rest."

"How are you?" Zhou Luoyang asked De'an anxiously.

De'an shook his head, sweat profusely on his forehead.The snake was already dead, and they didn't even have time to identify what kind of snake it was and whether it was poisonous, but in this kind of place, they probably wouldn't prepare serum to save their lives.

"Can you take care of him?" Professor Xiao Wu said to Zhou Luoyang.

"Okay," Zhou Luoyang said, "I can't help you much, so leave it to me."

De'an reluctantly said: "I'm fine, I'm fine... Maybe this snake isn't poisonous, look, the blood is red."

He kept sucking the back of his hand and spitting out bright red blood. Zhou Luoyang couldn't judge for a while, so he could only help him up.

Du Jing quickly found the keyhole, and said to Ruan Song, "Come here."

Du Jing signaled Ruan Song to insert the key into the lock, and the second stone door was opened.

"Enter." Du Jingyan said concisely.

Zhou Luoyang picked up De'an's arm, put it on his shoulder, and led him into the stone gate.Before leaving, Lu Zhongyu went to the glass cabinet and felt around to make sure there was nothing left inside.

Behind the second gate is a winding corridor. De'an said, "I can walk by myself."

A room with a strange shape appeared in front of him. After opening the door, there was a pedestal at hand, and a simple lounge suddenly appeared inside.There is a long table and seven chairs in the lounge. On the long table is a long Vietnamese French bread stick with paper under it.

"You can rest inside for two hours," said the ruler, "to replenish your strength."

Zhou Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the ruler was going to rest too. According to Du Jing's watch, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"How are you?" Zhou Luoyang looked at De'an worriedly.

De'an reluctantly nodded and said, "Let me sit for a while, it will be fine in a while."

His breathing became heavier and his face was pale at the same time. Everyone looked at him, but no one spoke.

There was a shower curtain hanging in the room, Lu Zhongyu lifted the curtain and took a look, there was a toilet inside.

At the same time, an English broadcast came from a corner of the room: "All contestants, please take off your earphones and put them on the pedestal at the entrance for charging."

Zhou Luoyang took off his and De'an's earphones, and everyone stepped forward and put the earphones in one by one.When all the earphones were inserted into the pedestal, Hong Hou's voice sounded.

"It's very surprising," Hong Hou said. "It seems that the Chinese have excellent team awareness. After leaving the second round, all the members survived. It seems that our season will be very exciting."

No one spoke. Zhou Luoyang raised his head and looked around the room, but found no surveillance cameras.

"Here, you can rest to your heart's content." Hong Hou said, "Two hours later, the lights of the safe house will be turned off, and then we will set off with earphones on. Don't worry, there is no surveillance in the safe house, and you can also have free conversations. No more eavesdropping on your conversations, Big Brother keeps his word."

Under the pale light, everyone was exhausted, and each sat down, looking at the baguette on the table, but no one moved.

"Eat something?" Xiao Wu glanced at the botanist Kun and said.

Kun shook his head, took off his scholar's hat, and bowed to stroke his hair.

"Not hungry," said Kun, "very thirsty."

Zhou Luoyang was much better than the last time he came in. He knew that being in the secret room was highly tense, people would sweat non-stop, and thirst faster than usual.

"There's no water." Zhou Luoyang checked once, and saw that there was only food in the safe house but a lack of water. It was presumably intentional, and they might fight for drinking water later.

"Take a break," Lu Zhongyu said, "When you leave later, just take the bread with you."

Du Jing didn't talk very much today, and Lu Zhongyu also noticed it. He glanced at Du Jing and asked, "Groot, are you feeling well?"

"He doesn't like being in a closed scene very much," Zhou Luoyang replied for Du Jing, "It will be fine later."

Du Jing took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine."

"You know each other?" Professor Xiao Wu finally asked out his doubts.

They sat at the long table, no matter what they said at this time, they would not be punished, and they could finally chat.

Zhou Luoyang's heart is more than acquaintance?Du Jing and I came here for you.

Kun turned his head and glanced, said: "This is a safe house, there are no cameras."

Xiao Wu said: "But I guess there are still monitors, I can't trust them."

Du Jing said: "It doesn't matter, we are in the same situation as each of you."

At this moment, Du Jing finally started to speak.He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and said, "Next, listen carefully, I'll only say it once."

Zhou Luoyang suddenly noticed something unusual. Kun, Xiao Wu, Ruan Song, De'an, and Lu Zhongyu all looked at Du Jing with serious expressions at the same time.

"I will do my best to keep each of you alive." Du Jing said to everyone.

what happened?Was Du Jing's silence just pretending?Why did his condition recover as soon as he came to the safe house?Zhou Luoyang immediately glanced at Du Jing, and Du Jing made a simple gesture to signal him not to speak.

"Who are you?" Xiao Wu asked suspiciously.

Lu Zhongyu seemed to understand, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you next."

"Don't interrupt me." Du Jing lowered his head, glanced at his watch, and said, "There is not much time, but if not everyone can live, I will give priority to ensuring that we both can live."

With that said, Du Jing pointed at Zhou Luoyang and expressed his attitude towards the rest of the people.

No one spoke, Du Jing said again: "But as long as I pass the last test alive and get on the car back, I'm sure that everyone will survive."

"At that time, you will have already won. If you win, you will survive. This is nonsense." Ruan Song said rudely.

Zhou Luoyang asked back: "Do you really think so? Do you think that after participating in this game and knowing where they are, they will let you go?"

Lu Zhongyu said to Ruan Song, "Why did you appear here?"

Zhou Luoyang became suspicious, did Lu Zhongyu really know Ruan Song's identity?He and Ruan Song came to Vietnam, and when they left the scenic spot, Lu Zhongyu was abducted. It stands to reason that he didn't know what Ruan Song would become next.Ordinary people would only think that Ruan Song was also a victim.

But Lu Zhongyu seems to be smarter than he imagined.

Kun looked at Lu Zhongyu, smiled helplessly, and said, "What's the situation with you two?"

Ruan Song said, "I don't know him."

The dinner fell silent again, Xiao Wu looked at Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing, then at Lu Zhongyu and Ruan Song.

At this moment, De'an's breathing became heavier and he asked, "Is there any water?"

"No," Zhou Luoyang said in a low voice, "Hold on for a while, maybe you can find water after you leave the safe house."

"Either go first?" Du Jing asked the crowd.

"Take a break," Xiao Wu said tiredly, "I can't keep up physically."

At 04:30 in the afternoon, they have been in continuous operation for six hours, and judging from the situation, the following link seems to be very long.

"Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly remembered, and said, "Maybe there is water in the toilet, I'll go and see."

Zhou Luoyang checked the toilet, but found that it was a vacuum type, which meant that there was no sewage pipe underground, so he had to give up.

When he came out, Du Jing stepped on the long table and looked up at the lights on the ceiling.

Behind the shower curtain, De'an didn't care about the place, and lay down on the side of the toilet, with his feet hanging on the ground, and whispered to Zhou Luoyang, "You...what's your name? Are you...Chinese? ?”

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang knelt beside him, put his ear close, and replied, "I am."

"Where are you from?" De'an said in a weak voice, "I ask you one thing."

Zhou Luoyang felt that De'an had indeed been poisoned, and it was quite serious.

"Don't talk," Zhou Luoyang replied, "You will be fine."

Zhou Luoyang tested his forehead and said, "Groot!"

"Yeah." Du Jing replied outside the bathroom.

"He has a fever," Zhou Luoyang said, "De'an has a fever."

"Here...for you." De'an said, "Leave me alone later."

De'an took out a black leather notebook, and Zhou Luoyang flipped it through, and saw that most of the area was blank. On the first ten pages, there were staff drawn and many musical notes.

"If you get out alive..." De'an whispered, "tell my sister, she..."

"How old are you?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

"22." De'an whispered, "Not long after I quit my job, I hardly contacted my family...I studied computer, I... used to like to gamble, it was not a good habit, and it cost my family a lot of money. Later, I came to Myanmar..."

"This is Cambodia." Zhou Luoyang reminded.

"Cambodia?" De'an said with a wry smile, "Oh, it's Cambodia... I don't know."

De'an was apparently also arrested, and said, "My real name is Jiang Yupeng."

He said intermittently: "I wanted... to win some money, and I won more than 200 million yuan. As a result, when I wanted to wash my hands for the last time, I was caught by the casino. Tell my sister, I... I'm sorry for her, do you have a pen? Yes... I'll give you a phone number, can you remember it?"

"Du Jing!" Zhou Luoyang finally said.

Du Jing opened the shower curtain, took a look, and saw that De'an's face was pale, he couldn't help panting, he knelt on one knee, propped up De'an's eyelids with his fingers, and looked into his pupils.

De'an suddenly grabbed Zhou Luoyang's wrist and said, "It's easy to remember, easy to remember, don't forget..."

The back of his hand was swollen purple and black after being bitten by the snake, and he gave out a series of phone numbers.

"I remember." Du Jing said calmly, then turned and went out.

Dean nodded wearily and smiled.

Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to comfort him: "You rest for a while, you'll be fine."

"Luoyang, come out." Du Jing said outside.

When Zhou Luoyang went out, Lu Zhongyu was dividing the bread with his Swiss army knife, and said, "Each one, eat when you're hungry."

Everyone got a piece each, and Ruan Song looked at the bread expressionlessly.Lu Zhongyu gave De'an's share to Zhou Luoyang and said, "The archaeologists, you keep it for him."

Zhou Luoyang let out a tired breath and lay down on the table. Du Jing glanced at his watch. An hour had passed.They were thirsty and tired, and the key point was that there was no water, so everyone had to talk less to maintain their strength.

"He's lying to you." Ruan Song said suddenly.

"Who?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously.

"Du Jing." Ruan Song finally said Du Jing's real name, and said to Du Jing, "Your name is Du Jing, isn't it?"

Du Jing put on his knuckles and didn't answer.

Zhou Luoyang said: "Little priest, we don't understand, what exactly offended you?"

"You didn't offend me." Ruan Song said, "This game has been explained very clearly in advance. If you want to keep yourself alive, you have to find a way to kill other people."

Lu Zhongyu didn't answer, but stared at Ruan Song.

Xiao Wu remained silent.

"Yes," Kun said, "this is a hint from the ruler."

Ruan Song said: "If I were an audience, I would definitely not want to see the contestants enjoying themselves, working together in harmony and working together to reach the finale."

"Of course," Du Jing put on his knuckles and said casually, "It's only interesting if you fight to the death, isn't it?"

"So the two of them are together," Ruan Song ignored Du Jing and said, "He only wants to gain our trust so that we can follow their arrangements in the future."

But then, Du Jing turned around and punched Ruan Song hard on the side.

"Don't hit people!" Xiao Wu shouted suddenly.

Kun Ze stood up and said displeasedly: "Speak up if you have something to say! Don't fucking do it!"

"Don't hit anyone," Lu Zhongyu said slowly, without getting up, "He's not your opponent, a casual punch is enough."
