"Do you want to?" Shi Qi turned to look at him, "If you think about it, you can do it without a bed."

Xuan Mu's movements paused, although he still had some expectations, he hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, next time... next time."

Shi Qi chuckled, rolled up the quilt together with him, and carried them back to the original room.

After laying the floor, the two made do with a rest for the night, ate a dumpling breakfast together, and returned to the corridor to search again.

They searched all the rooms one by one, and found a locked reference room at the end of one of the forked roads. They tried to insert the blue key they found yesterday into the lock, but they couldn't open it. They had to go back to the initial room to play flying chess.

Near noon, another plane entered the warehouse, and the number of food supplies changed from '0' to '5', before Li Kuangyu and Xia Yue returned to the room after exploring.

"There are many paintings on the wall of the corridor." Li Kuangyu slumped onto a chair and took a sip of warm water. "There is a small locked room with a large bronze door at the end, which cannot be opened."

"I found this in the wine tank in the corridor." Ling Luo turned around and rummaged through her backpack, and handed over a screwdriver, and the tangy aroma of rice wine spread into the air immediately.

Shi Qi took it over, looked at it carefully for a while, and thought for a while, "Try to remove the electric meter in that statue's room later."

"Okay," Xuan Mu nodded, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, "This smell...is a bit sweet."

His alcohol consumption ranged from a few drops to half a glass, and he would get drunk when he touched the wine, and he would become dizzy after smelling it for a long time.

Shi Qi hurriedly put away the screwdriver, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and realized that it was already lunch time, "Shall we go after dinner?"

Xuanmu responded, got up and pressed the button, and the number of food supplies changed from '5' to '3'.

According to the understanding of the game mechanism, the clues that Shi Qi and Xuan Mu got may be the props that the other teammate needs, so they handed over the blue key they found.

After eating, the two got a new key from the electric meter and used it to open the door of the reference room in the corridor.

It was pitch black inside, and the cabinets on the floor were covered with a thick layer of dust. Xuan Mu coughed a few times due to the dust, and raised his hand to wave in front of his eyes.

Shi Qi took out the flashlight, and opened the side cabinet. Most of it contained some business documents, and a small part was about the information and history of the circus.

He then opened the drawer on the desk, looked in through the light, and squinted his eyes at the dazzling reflection.

Xuan Mu got closer and saw that it was full of diamonds of excellent quality and purity. He was stunned for a few seconds, "... so many?"

Shi Qi tried to pick up a diamond, and observed it for a while with the light of the flashlight.

"Do you want to take it away?" Xuan Mu asked him.

Shi Qi thought for a while, then asked, "What does your intuition say?"

"Hmm..." Xuanmu tried to use his intuition skills, and guessed, "It feels...it shouldn't be so many diamonds here casually."

"Then just take some, it's hard to run if it's heavy." Shi Qi said.

Xuan Mu nodded.

He glanced at Shi Qi's open pocket, stopped the opponent's movement, grabbed the diamond and put it in the bag beside him, at the same time he seemed to find something buried under the pile of diamonds.

He frowned, reached out to sweep the diamond away, and found a velvet box hidden inside.

Shi Qi took the box out and opened it, "It's a tape."

"Tape?" Xuan Mu was stunned, "Is this a sign that we need to find a phonograph?"

"It's possible," Shi Qi put the thing in his pocket, "It's not big anyway, so take it with you first."

Xuan Mu responded, and followed Shi Qi to continue searching, and finally found a sharp chainsaw in the corner of the room.

"Do you want to bring this?" He weighed it. "This is a bit heavy. Will it be inconvenient to carry it?"

Shi Qi took it and tried to push the switch, and the chainsaw immediately started to run violently, making a "sizzling" sound.

"I suspect...we'll be fighting monsters later," Shi Qi turned off the switch, "otherwise he wouldn't have sent us such a large piece of equipment."

"?? Really..." Xuan Mu was taken aback, "Fighting those things in the corridor?"

Shi Qi: "It's possible."

Xuan Mu nodded: "Then...then you should take it with you."

After confirming that there were no other clues, Xuan Mu took out his notebook from his bag, glanced at the map, "Where shall we go next?"

Now the clues at hand include a tape, a chainsaw and some diamonds. According to Li Kuangyu's description, the layout of the room opposite is simpler than this side, and there are not many clues and props.

"Our floor has almost been searched, only the bronze gate is left unopened," Shi Qi speculated uncertainly, "If there is anything left to search, it should be the paintings on the walls. gone."

Xuan Mu immediately reacted, "Are you looking for a groove?"

"No," Shi Qi said, "Take apart those picture frames and have a look."

Xuan Mu thought for a while, agreed to Shi Qi's proposal, and walked to those picture frames.

Those portraits were still staring at the two people outside, Xuan Mu met his eyes, and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

The movements of the nearby children became imperceptibly more sensitive, and they conscientiously patrolled around. Shi Qi didn't waste any time and started to remove the picture frame. Xuan Mu paid attention to the movement around him.

A dozen or so picture frames were hung in a short distance, and the workload was huge. The two of them took turns to remove them one by one. Finally, when their wrists became sore and limp, they found something different.

"There's a note."

Xuan Mu leaned the picture frame against the wall, and pulled out a thin piece of parchment from inside.

Shi Qi took it over, and saw some Arabic numerals written on it, with dotted lines drawn in different arrangements beside the numerals, and a sense of familiarity immediately came to mind.

But before he could say anything, the surrounding environment suddenly became a little noisy.

He immediately grabbed the chainsaw tightly, pulled up Xuan Mu with the other hand, and took a few steps back with concentration.

A few seconds later, there was a loud "pop" in the air, and the two reacted quickly and ran back.

The portrait in the picture frame shattered the glass and rushed towards the corridor. The NPCs who were patrolling nearby also stopped and rushed towards them frantically.

"Hmm... which way to go?!" Xuan Mu tried hard to recall the layout of the map, breathing a little short of breath.

"Go back to the next room!" Shi Qi raised his finger and pointed in one of the directions, leading Xuan Mu to go there. At the moment of turning the corner, he almost bumped into the masked ghost child.

The two quickly hid to the side, then ran forward.

The two soon reached the end of the corridor, and found that the passage formed by stacked chairs had collapsed. Looking back, the ghost and the child in the picture frame were only a few meters away from them.

"Tsk!" Shi Qi pushed the switch of the chainsaw, and decisively swept the ghost that rushed up.

"Ahhh-!"

The ghost let out a miserable scream, and the green liquid sprayed out from its body. After a few seconds, it disappeared in place as if it had evaporated.

Shi Qi held up the chainsaw to cut a path, and the two walked around in the direction they remembered, only to find that the layout features in their memory seemed to have changed.

"Is it my illusion!" Xuan Mu kept shouting, "I feel that the road has changed!"

"It's not an illusion, it's really changed," Shi Qi forced himself to calm down, thinking quickly, "Look for the Bronze Gate!"

Xuan Mu responded, raised his leg to sweep away the pounced ghosts, turned left and right on the fork road with his intuition, and threw away the chasing thing behind him for a certain distance.

Shi Qi's chainsaw was already covered with strange liquids of various colors, and Xuan Mu was almost out of strength, and finally slammed into the bronze door at the end of the corridor by mistake.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise behind them, and a few rolling gates suddenly fell from the surrounding ceiling, sealing the fork in the road, and the wall behind them turned into the gears of a screw meat grinder, slowly approaching them.

Xuan Mu's eyes narrowed suddenly, he hastily pushed the bronze door, raised his hand and thumped it hard, "Fuck...it can't be opened!"

Shi Qi broke out in a cold sweat, looked around, and found that there seemed to be a red valve three meters above the bronze door.

"Ah Xuan," Shi Qi Shen breathed out and squatted down, "Come up, turn the valve."

Xuan Mu reacted, and quickly rode on Shi Qi's shoulder.

Shi Qi stabilized his figure and lifted him up. Xuan Mu restrained his trembling hands, and twisted suddenly in the direction of the mark on the valve, but did not twist.

"It can't be screwed..." Xuan Mu closed his eyes, and twisted the valve with all his strength, but he still didn't move at all, "What to do...fuck, what to do?"

Shi Qi gritted his teeth and thought anxiously for a few seconds, "Lubricant! Hurry up!"

The voice behind them was only two meters away from them, Xuan Mu gasped, hurriedly took out the lubricant from the bag, squeezed it onto the valve, and twisted it clockwise violently.

The valve slowly moved a few centimeters, the bronze door made a "click", and the gears of the meat grinder behind him spun endlessly, and then stopped.

Only then did Xuan Mu loosen the valve as if he lost his strength.

The meat grinder slowly moved in the original direction, and after a while, the bronze door opened a small crack.

"Damn it..." Xuan Mu gasped for a few breaths while leaning on the wall in fear, "Almost...almost got chopped into pieces..."

Shi Qi put Xuan Mu off his shoulders, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that the rolling gate beside him shrank upwards with a "squeak", and the ghosts and children who had been chasing them chased after them again.

"Come again??" Shi Qi clicked his tongue, picked up the chainsaw, and led Xuan Mu to the bronze door.

Xuan Mu closed the door back with his backhand, and after a while, those noisy roars came through the crack of the door, trying to knock the bronze door open.
