Fanservice Paradox

I really didn't expect it.He actually got a special role in the first issue.

Fang Juexia glanced at the camera set up in front of her.

Could it be that the director temporarily handed out the hole cards based on the performance of all of them just now?But in the first episode, if you give out this kind of role cards to newcomers, are you really not afraid of messing up the whole episode?

He glanced across and saw that Pei Tingsong seemed to have finished checking. He put the phone back in his pocket and looked up at him.

"Why are you frowning?" Pei Tingsong raised the corners of his lips, "Did you get the killer?"

Fang Juexia raised his eyebrows, this way of deceiving his identity was useless to him, "That's right, you were with Killer in the first game, what do you think?"

Pei Tingsong, who was handcuffed, leaned forward, half-folded on the table, looked at Fang Juexia with his eyes, and made a pitiful and innocent expression, "I'm very scared."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he laughed.

This really looks like a perverted murderer, Fang Juexia thought.

Could it be that Pei Tingsong is the killer?

The thought flashed through his mind.If it is really two newcomers who take the role cards together, the program team may really go crazy.

He thought about it again, and remembered that when the senior brother participated in the first episode of the first season, he was also a newcomer, with a blank sheet of paper, but the first time he got the role of the killer, it showed that the program team didn't think too much when handing out the hole cards.The only possible consideration should be the correspondence between the killer and the script.

But even so, he couldn't rule out the possibility of Pei Tingsong taking the killer card.

The table just covered the movement of his hands. Fang Juexia clicked on the card on the screen. After choosing the faction he was playing for, he pretended to put his head down and stuffed his phone. Then he raised his hand expressionlessly and continued to bite the rope with his teeth. Knot.

Although he was sure that there must be a tool to cut the rope hidden in a corner here, but he was too lazy to find it. Anyway, as long as the goal is achieved, there is no difference between good and bad.

"This is considered brute force." Pei Tingsong teased, "The program team should give me the rope and handcuffs to you, so that nothing will go wrong." Speaking of this, he suddenly found that there was a letter printed on his handcuffs B, the color is very light and difficult to detect.

There must be something wrong with something marked.

Pei Tingsong had very little room for movement. He could only see if there were any other clues on the table. Now that the hood was off, he saw the square he had embedded on the table just now, with a capital letter A written on it.

Intuition told him that this A is always problematic.

Looking up at Fang Juexia, Pei Tingsong wanted to tell him the letters he had discovered, but unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a small card strung on the rope wrapped around Fang Juexia's arm, and the card kept shaking with his movements.

"You don't move yet."

Hearing Pei Tingsong's words, Fang Juexia stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"You have a sign on your left arm."

After listening to his words, Fang Juexia turned his head to look, and it turned out to be a small wooden sign with the letter α written on it.Pei Tingsong finally saw clearly.

A and α.

"So it's not an English letter." Pei Tingsong smiled, he didn't expect him to find the correspondence of the letter so quickly.

"What English alphabet?" Fang Juexia asked.

"The sign on your arm corresponds to the metal block I just inserted into the table." Pei Tingsong took out the block and showed the side with the letters printed on it to Fang Juexia, "They are all Greek letters, one in uppercase and one in uppercase." It's lowercase."

Fang Juexia understood that this was probably the tool used by the program crew to untie the rope, but how could a square cut the rope.

Pei Tingsong held the cube with both hands, tried to knock and twist it, but nothing changed.

Is it possible that it is not deformed?

He took a closer look, only to find that there was a hard-to-find horizontal line near the edge of the cube, like a small drawer hidden in the cube.Pei Tingsong tried to push it with his fingers, but the strip was too narrow and his fingers couldn't do it at all.

Fang Juexia felt that it was useless, even if Pei Tingsong found a solution, he would still give it to him, so he might as well solve it by himself, and he might just bite it off.

"I see." Pei Tingsong quickly thought of a new method. He used his handcuffed hands to remove the badge on his shirt. It was a thin rectangular piece of metal with the words [Doctor Tian] three words.

Is his character really a doctor?

Pei Tingsong put the corner of the metal badge on the metal square marked with A just now, and pushed the small strip into it.Sure enough, he pushed out the square piece, like a pulled out building block!

The bottom of this square piece is the long strip on the previous metal block, and the pushed out front end is as thin as a blade.

"Here, I found it." Pei Tingsong held the square "blade" and shook it at Fang Juexia.

Fang Juexia was not very happy in his heart, because past experience told him what was about to happen.He can only hope that Pei Tingsong will not say when recording the show...

"Please, I'll give it to you." Pei Tingsong didn't even bother to pretend.

Sure enough, she still said it... Fang Juexia sighed in her heart.

"No need." He still chose to bite open himself.

Looking down and biting the rope, Pei Tingsong glanced at the gloves he was wearing.

It's really funny.

"Just kidding." Looking at Fang Juexia and Pei Tingsong, he was embarrassed, "I know you have good teeth, but the program team carefully arranged for us to escape together, and you let me perform."

"Here," he pressed the blade on the table, pushed it towards Fang Juexia, and pushed it to the opposite side, "The greatness of human beings lies in the use of tools."

Fang Juexia glanced at the blade being pushed over.

Pei Tingsong's cooperation today was so high that he doubted it. Fang Juexia wondered in his heart, could it be that he wanted to show his favor and win his vote?

Forget it, I found out the blade anyway, so it’s useless.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw Pei Tingsong propping his elbows on the table, holding his face in two handcuffed hands, one hand was gloved, the other was bare, his face was full of loneliness and pity, He also sighed a long time, "Oh, I miss my Lily."

Fang Juexia forcibly calmed down in her heart.

He knew that Pei Tingsong would never let him down.

"You can bring her to China."

Pei Tingsong shook his head, "Forget it, I can't afford two dogs."

Faced with Pei Tingsong's insinuations, Fang Juexia tried his best to calm down his emotions. He could almost imagine that after the show was broadcast, fans would swipe their screens and ask if they had a puppy in the dormitory.

He shouldn't have talked to this little devil in the first place.

In order to move freely, Fang Juexia still picked up the "blade".Although this has no real blade, it is enough to cut the rope.He tried back and forth several times, and the rope really broke.

Suddenly, the narration sounded again, "Attention all players, the double-faced knight has already made a choice. During this period, the black and white sides of the knight will be temporarily hidden. Waiting for the plot clues to be completed, we will select a time point and announce it. Announcing the knight camp."

Pei Tingsong was lying comfortably on the sofa, slacking off at work, "I really know how to play."

During this time of not disclosing whether the Cavaliers are good or bad, it is the best time to fish in troubled waters.Everyone has only a small amount of information, and everyone doesn't trust each other, but they have to communicate and cooperate in order to piece together a complete plot. What they say when everyone is in the dark may affect the direction of the entire game.

Hearing the narration, Fang Juexia secretly rejoiced. He was worried that he would be exposed just after choosing the camp. It seems that the program team wanted to give players and audience more suspense.Despite the turmoil in his heart, Fang Juexia's expression remained calm, and he still focused on the knot on his wrist.

This period is his golden time as a knight, he must escape as soon as possible, collect information and control the rhythm.

Seeing Fang Juexia working so hard to get out, Pei Tingsong was no longer idle.Although it's his first time playing, the logic is clear. If both of them are stuck in the designated position after initialization, the cracked props must be hidden nearby.

The closest is this table.

He glanced hastily at the table, there were not many things on it, in front of him was a blank notebook with a pen on it, there was a desk lamp on his side, covered by an oval spherical lampshade, and there was another in front of Fang Juexia on the opposite side.

"Why did you only turn on the light on your side..." Pei Tingsong said to himself.If only one of the two lights is turned on, there must be a problem.He stretched out his handcuffed hands and tried hard to get close to the desk lamp on the upper left corner of the table. At this moment, he accidentally discovered that there was a letter printed on the base of the lamp.

is beta.

found it.

Pei Tingsong tried his best to finally touch the switch, and turned on the light with a snap.

After persisting in cutting for a long time, the rope finally broke. Fang Juexia touched his red wrist, rolled the rope and put it on the table.He saw Pei Tingsong observing something by the light of the desk lamp, so he stood up and walked to him.

A shape looms on the lampshade.

It is the shape of a key.

Pei Tingsong was about to take off the lampshade, but Fang Juexia, who was more flexible in his hands and feet, took the opportunity.After peeling off the lampshade, there is only a lonely bulb left in this table lamp, and the small key is hidden in the transparent bulb.

"You really just throw it away when you're done using it." Pei Tingsong, who had lost the initiative, still smiled, "Am I your tool man?"

Fang Juexia smashed the light bulb and took out the small key from the shards.The metal key is very small, and I'm afraid it can't open other things except handcuffs. He played with it in his hand for a while, then leaned against the table, facing Pei Tingsong, with a calm face, "Isn't this kind of game like this? Everyone Suspicion, but also to take advantage of each other."

The eyes under the lens were calm. Under the dark law of the game, Fang Juexia said such words to someone for the first time in his life.

"Is it your turn to beg me now?"

Pei Tingsong leaned his head back on the sofa chair, the cynical smile on his face remained unchanged.

In his eyes, Fang Juexia's wrists and neck at this moment still have red marks left by the binding, the collar of his shirt is spread out, and he is wearing a pair of gentle glasses, which looks more than the usual Fang Juexia A little fragile bookishness, but also an inviolable sense of taboo.Even if he said threatening words, but with this face, such a cold temperament revealed in his bones, it didn't sound like much deterrence.

Instead, it became a provocation.

Like an invitation to welcome a prisoner.

So the more threatening Fang Juexia was, the more he stood on the opposite side to fight, the more excited Pei Tingsong felt.

It's not normal, but adrenaline doesn't lie.Maybe he just has a little perverted gene in his bones.

Pei Tingsong crouched on the sofa looking at him and smiling, once the corners of his eyes and brows were gone, his face still looked youthful.

"Brother Jue Xia," he said obediently, like a real old man in front of the camera, "you will not help me, right?"

"What can I get for you?" Fang Juexia held the key in his hand, scratched the table expressionlessly, and the table whined softly.

"If you are a killer, or a black knight, what should I do?"

The way he said what I should do is really cute, Pei Tingsong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Well, as long as you help me uncuff my handcuffs and ankles, I promise you and form an alliance with you."

Fang Juexia glanced at him, eyes intertwined.Pei Tingsong looked calm and composed, as if he was not the one who was at a disadvantage at this time.

He calculated Pei Tingsong's sincerity in forming an alliance in his heart.

If Pei Tingsong was an ordinary player, it would be harmless to form an alliance.If he is a killer, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.Anyway, for the double-faced knight, gaining anyone's trust is beneficial.

But what he was facing was a guy who had no bottom line, what he did or said was completely unpredictable, and these premises and assumptions were meaningless.Even if an alliance is formed at this time, Fang Juexia will not be surprised if Pei Tingsong votes to execute him the next moment.Aligning with a Bomb always predicts the tragic end in advance.

but……

In this kind of game of fish in troubled waters, those who have no bottom line have a better chance of winning.

Fang Juexia took his hand and lowered his eyes to observe the keyhole on his handcuffs, "How does it count as an alliance?"

Pei Tingsong sat up and approached him with a sincere tone, "In the first round, I will accept your ticket unconditionally, and I will try my best to take you out of this room with me." His tone was suggestive, "You always have When you need me."

Fang Juexia said nothing, and quietly uncuffed him.

"It's too uncomfortable." Pei Tingsong's hands were finally able to move flexibly. He stretched his waist and moved his wrist joints.He lowered his head to confirm the shackles below.These two shackles do not have keys, but are four-digit combination locks, and there is also a character on the combination lock——δ

In the next step, he should find the corresponding uppercase Greek letters.

Fang Juexia was observing the room as a whole. Their table was in the center of the room. On the right hand side was a row of five-story bookshelves against the wall, which were full of books, most of which were related to psychology, occasionally mixed with some books. Humanities and social science books, and even a few popular science books on astronomy, mathematics and physics.There are very few decorations on the wall, only one painting, which is still placed next to the door. The width is almost as wide as the door frame, but it is much shorter.

The only door in the entire room was facing their desk.Fang Juexia approached, but was surprised to find that the door had neither a keyhole nor a combination lock, only a display screen embedded in the door panel.He tried to touch it, and the display screen turned on, and an electronically synthesized prompt sound came out.

[Your appointment is not over yet, please do not leave. ]

"See a doctor?" Fang Juexia was puzzled.

Could it be that this house is actually the consulting room of a psychiatrist, and he is the patient who comes to see the doctor?

After the beep ended, the screen went black, and a gamma letter glowing white appeared in the middle.

The third Greek letter appeared, but what does it correspond to?

Just when he was puzzled, a man's voice suddenly came from the stereo in the room.

[I will hypnotize you below:]

"Hypnosis?" Pei Tingsong felt weird, "Where did you move just now?"

Fang Juexia stepped aside, pointed to the display screen on the door panel, "here."

Pei Tingsong saw the letters on the display screen, which did not match the δ printed on his anklets, and were in lowercase, but his intuition told him that the following words must have deep meaning.

"Brother Jue Xia, help me find if there is anything in the house with a triangle or the letter Δ printed on it, it may be a clue to unlock the code of my shackles."

"Ah."

The male voice in the room continued, with a slow and peaceful tone, as if he was really hypnotizing someone.

[Now, try to relax all the muscles in your body.Try to empty your mind into the void.The mind stretches as far as it can reach.Emotions return to the outside world that created them...]

According to what Pei Tingsong said, Fang Juexia looked for the item with the letter Δ written on it.

According to the idea of ​​the game designer, he must consider the worst possibility that the two people in the same secret room did not reach a cooperation. In this way, Pei Tingsong, who was trapped in limbs, was isolated and helpless, and there must be some clues that could restore his freedom. It is where he can reach it through his own efforts.

The hypnotic words echoed throughout the room, faintly carrying the power to soothe emotions and heal anxiety.

[Imagine that depression and resentment never bothered you.Feel the glorious temple built by consciousness.Step up the steps and go to the deepest part.The tranquility there is the home of the soul...]

Items within reach.

Fang Juexia's eyes fixed on the table.What is Pei Tingsong writing at the desk? There are very few items on the table, lamp?No, it has been used.Pei Tingsong is using the pen and paper, he should have checked it out.Nothing else.

According to inertial thinking, if the desktop does not have...

under the table.

Fang Juexia immediately squatted down and moved under the big table.However, this move did not distract Pei Tingsong's attention.

There was very little space under the table, so Fang Juexia simply knelt down and looked under the table as much as possible.Sure enough, there was another raised triangle on the top, which couldn't be pressed, so it didn't seem to be a button.

He changed his mind, tried to grab the triangular piece of wood, and pulled it out.

Sure enough, he pulled the wooden block and pulled out a wooden triangular prism with a piece of paper stuffed inside. Fang Juexia took it out and spread it on the floor.

This piece of paper is very similar to the Sudoku paper he usually plays, but there are no numbers in the grid, it is more like an ordinary draft paper, and a line of numbers has been scribbled in the middle: 258, 321456987, 12369, 12369874

What does it mean.Fang Juexia knelt on the ground, lost in thought.

The "hypnotic sounds" in the room continued.

[Look, the blue sea is in this pure land.Don't be afraid, the howling wind will never reach you.Stretch out in the warm sunshine...]

The sound was so loud that he couldn't think because of the noise.

[Slowly open the door of your subconscious mind, waiting to open the memory and the real self. ]

Fang Juexia held the piece of paper tightly, his eyes scanned each number, trying to find any pattern from it, could it be that the next number in the sequence is a four-digit number, which can be filled into Pei Tingsong's shackles?

But he couldn't see the pattern of the previous numbers.

At this moment, Pei Tingsong suddenly slapped the table, causing Fang Juexia to tremble under the table.

"Juexia, go to the bookcase. The first row of blue books on the shelf! Bring it here."

what?

Fang Juexia looked puzzled, and crawled forward with the arithmetic paper in his hand. He came to the edge of the desk, and even helped the knee of the person in front of him. He looked up at Pei Tingsong, "Bookcase?"

At this time, the two players who were obsessed with deciphering finally realized how ambiguous and embarrassing the pose they formed together. Fang Juexia had almost got between Pei Tingsong's knees, and she still used a very simple expression looking up at him.

Fortunately, the shirt was wrapped in a knitted vest, otherwise Pei Tingsong's perspective would be more clear.He suddenly got a little stuck in his speech, "You, you come out first, go to the bookshelf and look for blue books on the first floor."

Fang Juexia let out a groan, and ran away from under the desk like a gray-faced little mouse, temporarily put the paper with numbers on the table, and touched his hot ears.Unknowingly, his knees became sore and numb, and he stood up abruptly, but he couldn't hold it up, so he had to support the table, and after recovering from his strength, he walked quickly towards the bookcase.

Although he really didn't know how Pei Tingsong got the clue, the tone just now didn't seem like a lie.

Fortunately, the bookshelves are not high, and Fang Juexia, who is 1.8 meters tall, can easily reach the books on the first floor.Only then did he realize that there was a small ukulele on the top of the bookshelf.

There are so many books that fill up the entire five floors. If there are no clues, they will probably spend the whole day here.Fang Juexia looked carefully from left to right, pulling out one book at a time, and finally found one.

"The show is so sinister, the spine of this book is white, but the front and back are blue."

Pei Tingsong, who successfully cracked the clue, was very excited, "Show me."

"Yeah." Fang Juexia took out the book, opened it, and there was a piece of paper inside, with a few large characters written on the top—appointment registration form.

Fill in some names at the bottom of the form.

"Teacher Yan, early..."

Just as he was reciting his name and walking in the direction of Pei Tingsong, there was a loud noise behind him.

He also heard Pei Tingsong's unbelievable voice.

"I go……"

Fang Juexia turned around and just watched helplessly as the bookcase behind her slowly moved to the left along the wall, and a door appeared on the exposed blank wall!

[Congratulations, the unlock is successful. ]

It wasn't the sound from their room, but the sound from the next door.

The next second, the door that appeared suddenly was opened, and the long and narrow shadow that fell on the ground appeared one step ahead of the owner.Fang Juexia saw a familiar face, and had to admit that at this moment, goosebumps popped up all over his body.

"Huh? There are two children in this room." The visitor was wearing a high school uniform, a white shirt and black trousers, with a school badge and badge pinned to his chest.He smiled and said in a playful tone, "I'm sorry, I was so busy looking at the handsome guy that I forgot to introduce myself."

He took a step forward, stepping into their chamber territory.

"Hello, I'm Xia Xiqing."

The author has something to say: Let me explain first, Xia Xiqing is the protagonist of the previous book (with CP), and there is no supplementary text, and he only appears as a guest in the reality show part.

[I understand everyone's feelings, but really please don't scroll the screen anymore, so as not to affect readers who only read the paradox, please focus on the plot, focus on the plot, thank you. 】

I am afraid that everyone will be a little dizzy when looking at the Greek letters, so I put the few groups that appear here:

Αα: Alpha Alpha

Ββ: Beta Beta

Γγ: Gamma Gamma

Δδ: Delta Delta

In Escape [-], I will focus more on restoring the step-by-step reality of escape from the secret room, so that everyone can feel more like playing a game.
