The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

At the end of the year, he only slept for three hours.Now the weather is warm, the dawn is early, the sun shines into the room, and it is the end of the year and I have no mood to sleep.

What do the names written on the ground mean?Why are the positions of the names different, why do some have dates and others don't?What do these names have to do with this facility?

Sitting up at the end of the year, "Xu Huifang" and "Zhou Tong" were very close to each other, with a horizontal distance of no more than ten meters. If the names of people are so dense, how could no one else notice?Did Qin Guican really inform others about this, or was it just her tricks?

But if she had done something wrong, the bait thrown should be able to lead Nian Weiji somewhere, it would not do her any good to be as confused as she is now.At the end of the year, he thought that "Xu Huifang" was hidden under the merry-go-round, and "Zhou Tong" was hidden in the cracks of bricks and stones. They are not easy to find. Maybe he missed many other names unintentionally.

At the end of the year, I can't sit still.He started to turn over the quilts, quilts, pillows, bedside tables and bookshelves, and opened everything that could be opened, and turned everything that could be turned over, until he turned the well-organized room into a mess.The misalignment of things made Nian Weiji's heart tremble, and he rarely felt sullen.Nian Wei had piled things up in the center of the room and began to move the furniture. Just as he moved the bed an arm's width away, he saw a name written on the wall inside the bed with sharp eyes.

"Wei Zixu."

Nian Wei was lying on the bed, reached in and touched the name.There is nothing special about the name, and there is no date.Nian Wei has tapped the wall with his knuckles, the sound is duller than the normal wall, like a cavity, but the cavity seems to be some distance away from the wall.Nian Weiji put his ear against the wall, moved while testing, and found that the cavity had a fixed range.He marked with a pen and traced the outline of the cavity bit by bit.

The cavity turned out to be a humanoid.

[Please gather at the elevator on the first floor, and the game will start in half an hour. 】

The broadcast interrupted Nian Weiji's train of thought, he immediately covered the outline of the cavity and Wei Zixu's name with wallpaper, and then walked out the door.

At 07:30 in the morning, the sunlight coming in from the glass corridor is golden, prolonging the shadow of the end of the year.Half of his face was bathed in warm sunlight, and he walked into the cold first-floor hall.Several people were already waiting in front of the elevator.Chen Luyao and Qin Guican were standing closest to the elevator, talking in low voices. Mick listened to them with a frown, and Jin sat on the bench, catching up on sleep as if nothing had happened.And Ms. Zhou was a few meters away from them, and she nodded awkwardly.

At the end of the year, he couldn't find his teammates, so he stood in front of Wei Zixu's room and waited for him to come out.

"Brother, did you find your hat? Where did you find it?"

Marquis Jin and Jin Jue passed by from Nian Wei, and Jin Jue was wearing a black jazz hat on his head. "It's weird, I opened the door this morning and my hat was hanging on my balcony railing, I don't remember when I hung it up."

Marquis Jin comforted: "Fortunately, I found it. Brother likes this hat so much, it's a pity to lose it."

"Hmm." Jin Jue pressed the brim of his hat down, and when he walked behind Nian Weiyi, he gave him a suspicious look.

At the end of the year, while waiting for Wei Zixu, he held the tablet and played Sudoku. After a few rounds, Wei Zixu finally walked out of the room.

Wei Zixu was uncharacteristically, wearing a polo shirt with a stand-up collar, the hem was straightly tucked into the trousers, and his hair was curled up from sleep. He yawned and walked down the stairs.Nian Wei looked up at him, losing his composure, Wei Zixu's attire was trying to compete with his aesthetics.

"Ah, good morning." Wei Zixu greeted him.

"Good morning, cough cough." Nian Wei already cleared his throat, stroked his hair artificially, and pointed his delicate silver cufflinks to Wei Zixu, wanting to set an example to remind Wei Zixu to pay attention to his image.

Wei Zixu walked straight past him.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Wei Zixu followed Ni Shang and Xu Qixiang, and asked Ni Shang with a smile.

Ni Shang turned to look at him, his expression returned from astonishment to normal, and he also greeted Wei Zixu: "It's okay, how about you?"

"I didn't sleep well, I was upset, I couldn't sleep until late at night, you can see my eyes are red." Wei Zixu said helplessly, lowering his eyes to look at Ni Shang: "It's good that you have a good rest, we will work hard for today's game .”

"Oh...then you can take a good rest after the game is over." Ni Shang said.

Xu Qixiang walked on the other side of Ni Shang, and couldn't see Ni Shang's expression on Wei Zixu, so he could only look back and forth between the two of them in confusion.

Nian Wei had been left aside by Wei Zixu, and followed them dejectedly.Speaking of which, straight men's polo shirts are Xu Qixiang's standard equipment, and Wei Zixu also wears them like this. Just looking at the back looks very similar to Xu Qixiang.

When they walked to the elevator before the end of the year, Chen Luyao terminated the conversation with Qin Guican, and looked at the others: "Is everyone here?"

"No...no." A very low voice sounded from the corner.

Zeng Xu said timidly: "Zhou Tong has not arrived."

"Zhou Tong?" Chen Luyao looked around and asked doubtfully, "Indeed. Where did she go? Have you looked for her in her room?"

Zeng promised to shake his head.So Chen Luyao asked the others to wait in place first, and he and Zeng Xu went to Zhou Tong's room to check.After a while, the two of them came back, and Chen Luyao said, "There is no one in her room, and it doesn't look like there was a fight. I didn't see her when I came here with this Miss Zeng. Has anyone seen her last night?"

No one said a word.

Qin Guican snorted softly: "She won't disappear by herself, I know who did what."

At the end of the year, Wei Zixu inadvertently glanced at Wei Zixu, who was pulling out the hem of his polo shirt with his mouth curled, hesitating about how to wear it to make it more pleasing to the eye.

[It is now eight o'clock sharp, please go to the fourth floor to start today's game "Digital Age".The rules of the game will be explained on the fourth floor. 】

"Fourth floor?" Nian Weiji wondered, "Is the fourth floor open?"

He opened the elevator door and looked in. The light on the fourth floor was on, indicating that the elevator could go to the fourth floor. "Really! Come in quickly." Nian Weiji waved to everyone in the elevator.

"Brother, isn't this person really Tuo?" Jin Hou asked Jin Jue in a low voice.Jinjue didn't take it seriously: "You have to rely on your life, you must be too dedicated to your work."

While the twins were whispering to each other, Wei Zixu had passed the others and walked into the elevator.

"Are you nervous? Today's DEATHSHOW is about to start." Wei Zixu walked up to Nian Weiyi and asked.

Nian Wei already leaned against the elevator wall, staring straight at the outside: "I'm nervous, so I'm looking at the lobby on the first floor."

"What are you doing in the lobby on the first floor?"

Nian Wei looked at the hall: "Because this may be the last time I see the hall on the first floor."

The others did not move for a long time. Wei Zixu looked out of the elevator and reminded softly: "I think it is better to follow the director's instructions. Yesterday, Song He's fingers were cut off, and then we were almost crushed to death. Being watched by him and obeying him is the safest thing to do."

"Of course the No.1 team wants to continue the game, that's in your best interest." Jin Jue said looking at the end of the year.

"Mr. Jin, what you said makes me feel very uncomfortable. After all, it is not our fault that we are ranked high." Mick spoke before Wei Zixu, "Playing the game is a last resort, but we don't want conflicts outside of the game. Otherwise, it will fall into the arms of the director."

Jinjue: "You don't need to remind me that your ranking is safe."

"Be quiet," Chen Luyao interrupted them: "You all calm down. Jinjue, you don't want to play the game, so do you have any way to escape the game?"

Just as Jin Jue was about to speak, he was suddenly pushed aside, and a figure flew past Jin Jue.Jin Hou hurriedly supported Jin Jue's shoulders to prevent him from falling to the ground.Jin Jue stood firm, and looked dissatisfied at the man who squeezed him away—Jin had already run into the elevator, sweating on his brow, and was staring nervously at the lobby on the first floor.

Mick asked suspiciously, "Jin? What happened...what happened to your ankle?"

Others heard the sound and noticed Jin's ankle. Her exposed skin had been corroded, and tissue fluid was still oozing out, giving off a slight smell of burnt protein. Jin didn't answer Mick, she pressed the door close button decisively, but Wei Zixu grabbed her hand: "Wait, no one else has come in yet."

Nian Weiji glanced at her curiously, thinking that she could use the elevator.

"Ah! Qixiang, what is this!" Ni Shang exclaimed, pointing to the ground.

A layer of white mist rises from the ground on the first floor, covering Ni Shang's knee socks, and the thin stockings are immediately corroded with holes.The fog spread from the lobby on the first floor to the elevator entrance. Jin was sitting on the bench farthest from the elevator to catch up on sleep. When she woke up, her ankle was severely corroded. She jumped up and ran into the elevator.

"Damn it!" Mick followed, also entering the elevator.

Sudden changes occurred, and the others rushed into the elevator without further delay.Jin Jue had nothing to say, and followed the crowd to the elevator.

The elevator doors closed slowly, and Nian Weixi took one last look at the uneven walls and floor in the hall, and repeatedly adjusted his cuff buttons with his fingers, looking a little fidgety.

After the elevator door closed, Jinjue said: "Looking at the current situation, the director will not allow anyone to be absent from the game. Since it is inevitable, I have a kind proposal. Yesterday's card game implied rules , You can find clues by doing some calculations, there may be rules to follow in today's game, I remind you, be prepared."

Xu Qixiang: "Hey, that's it, the game hasn't started yet, how do you want us to prepare?"

"For example, that." Jin Jue pointed to Nian Weiji who was hiding behind Wei Zixu: "The things he holds are at least very helpful for calculation."

Nian Wei was just taking out the tablet from his jacket pocket, when Jinjue mentioned it, he lifted the tablet and shook it cooperatively: "It has the function of a scientific calculator."

"Yes." Jinjue said, "There are many computers in the 'recreation room', and there is also this portable tablet computer, which means that the use of computers is not prohibited in the game, and it will definitely help to bring one."

Wei Zixu: "However, when the game started yesterday, we didn't have the opportunity to enter the 'entertainment room'. We are not sure whether the use of computers is prohibited. We can try it first. So let's go to the second floor now?"

The others defaulted, and Wei Zixu pressed the button for the second floor.After reaching the second floor, most people went to the 'entertainment room' and came back with a tablet computer.When Jinjue returned to the elevator, he saw Chen Luyao waiting alone, so he asked him, "Aren't you going to get the computer?"

Chen Luyao smiled, and took out a palm-sized notepad: "I can just use this. The tablet is inconvenient to use, and I'm used to writing on the notebook."

"Oh, then don't regret it." Jin Jue turned his back to Chen Luyao, with a cold light in his eyes.

As the elevator ascended, there was only a strange silence in the elevator.

Ding-dong-

Get to the fourth floor.After the elevator came to a complete stop, deafening electronic music could be heard through the elevator door.

[Welcome to the "Digital Age" game site, please enter the waiting area to prepare. 】

The space on the fourth floor is narrower than other floors. The entire space is like an arc passage. The elevator exit is located in the middle of the arc passage. Both ends of the passage are locked. There is no other way out. shaped channel.

When he got out of the elevator at the end of the year, as soon as his foot stepped on the floor, the floor boards lit up, showing his progress, and it would show different colors according to the pressure and time.It was only at the end of the year that I discovered that all surfaces on this floor are display screens. Countless square screens make up the walls, and the images spread like a mosaic one by one.

At the end of the arc there was a man waiting.Zhou Tong sat on the ground with his back against the display screen, his whole body drenched in sweat.Her trousers were soaked in blood, and her knees were torn, revealing dense stitches.She saw the end of the year, struggling to crawl over, her lips were moving, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Zhou Tong? When did she come here?" Marquis Jin's question was immediately covered by the background music.No one cared about his problem or Zhou Tong's injury, and everyone started to be vigilant when they got off the elevator.

The background music suddenly became smaller, and a series of numbers "1" lit up on the walls on both sides, alternating positive and negative, and all went out after converging, displaying a 25X25 grid table.

["Digital Age" requires each team to send one person into the game area, and the rest watch the game in the waiting area.Players who enter the game area will face a 25X25 grid area like this. Every time they step on a grid, the grid floor will display numbers in the surrounding 8 grids, and the numbers represent the number of nearby "traps".All grids show the content that the game is over, and the shorter the time, the higher the ranking. 】

[Now, each team member is asked to decide the player to play the game. 】
