The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

"is it?"

Wei Zixu looked at each of the photos. In the photos, he was wearing a short-sleeved sweater and posing in front of the glass corridor.

"It seems that Director Wei is right, the mechanism of this secret room really varies from person to person." Nian Weiji said and looked at Wei Zixu, only to find that his eyes were empty, as if he couldn't accept the status quo.

"How could it be my photo..." Wei Zixu couldn't believe it, he leaned forward and stared at the photo, then asked Nian Weiji: "Are you sure you took these on the first day?"

At the end of the year, he affirmed: "Every picture is. It is impossible for me to remember something so recent wrong. I uploaded it to the computer after I finished shooting that day." He turned to ask Wei Zixu: "But why are you so surprised, Director Wei? ? The photos I took appear here, indicating that our information can be called by the local area network. This is also expected, and it is not aimed at you, Director Wei. Eh? You put the photos back—”

The light spot from the laser light flashed across the photo, Nian Wei had pressed the photo back to its original place, and found that the light spot happened to hit a letter on Wei Zixu's sweater.

"r." Nian Wei has read out.

He found all the points of light in turn: "a." "e." "b." "v."

"Huh, is it 'brave'?" Nian Wei has turned around and entered the word into the combination lock, and the lock opened.

The safe was empty, except for a three-centimeter-diameter round badge, which was very inconspicuous.At the end of the year, he took out the badge, and saw a child's smiling face painted on the badge, and wrote a line of English around the smiling face: "Thebravestkid!"

"Director Wei, look, there's a 'brave kid' badge inside." Nian Weiji played with the badge, "It's just a simple decoration. We've already checked the secret room so thoroughly, we don't need this badge. Director Wei, do you think this badge is the proof of unlocking the hidden level?"

Wei Zixu answered absent-mindedly: "Maybe. Now that the safe is open, let's get out of here quickly."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zixu and Nian Wei ran towards the exit.

After leaving the door of the second secret room, Nian Wei already saw a light at the end of the tunnel from a distance, and walked towards the direction of the light.They didn't take a few steps when the door slammed shut behind them.Now the entire corridor was plunged into darkness, and the eyes were dark at the end of the year, so he instinctively went to find Wei Zixu.Then a hand grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the light.

"Huh...huh..." After running [-] meters, I couldn't bear it at the end of the year, and I couldn't stop panting.

"It's almost there, hold on."

The light was very faint, but the position was closer than imagined. Wei Zixu quickly slowed down because there was a dead end ahead.At the end of the year, they saw clearly that there was a brick wall in front of them, to be precise, they were surrounded by a circle of brick walls, and the light shone from above their heads.Nian Wei raised his head and looked at the ceiling more than ten meters high, which was blocked by a metal plate.There are several holes in the middle of the metal plate, and the light is coming from above.

Just when Nian Weiji looked up, there was a creaking sound behind him. He heard the sound and saw that the tunnel they came in had been automatically closed, and now there was only a cold brick wall left.

"What's going on here!" Wei Zixu slammed his fist on the brick wall, his voice was dull, which meant that there was no gap behind the wall.

"Could it be another secret room here?" Nian Weiji said in confusion, "But according to the 'Trinity' prompt, we have completed solving the riddles of the triple world, and even passed the hidden level, so this should be the exit. "

After punching the wall, Wei Zixu calmed down and looked around, and frowned when he saw the left side of the end of the year: "Look at the wall over there."

Nian Wei followed his line of sight, and saw a vertical row of blue bricks protruding from the surface of the brick wall, leading straight to the metal plate above the head.Nian Weixi went over to touch it, and found that the blue brick protruded about 4 cm from the wall, and the surface was smooth, like a ladder made on purpose.The end of the ladder was about one meter away from the metal plate. Looking into the distance at the end of the year, he raised his head with difficulty and said to Wei Zixu, "It's so high...it's narrow and deep here, like a well."

When Wei Zixu heard the analogy of "well", his expression was very uncomfortable, and he denied it: "There is no water, so it looks like a well. You should look around quickly to see if there is an exit."

"Like a dry well." Nian Weiji muttered.After reading the above, Nian Wei already squatted down to check the ground. "The ground seems to be the same as the top. It's made of metal. There's a semicircular gap here. Director Wei, let's see if we can lift it up."

Only one person can stand in the semicircular gap, so in fact only Wei Zixu can stand there and lift the metal plate, plus the weight of the young man standing on the metal plate.Wei Zixu tried his best, and the metal plate did not leave the ground.

"Can't you lift it?" Nian Weiji said regretfully, "It seems that we can only climb up."

Wei Zixu: "Yes. You climb first, and I will follow behind you."

Nian Weiji shook his head: "Impossible, I can't climb up, I can't even climb up rock climbing for children. And there is no safety rope here, and this ladder is not designed for normal people to climb, I still stay in the It's safer here."

Wei Zixu snorted: "But there is no other way out except this way."

"Hiss—it shouldn't be, such an anti-human ladder, and the gap in the ground, must have some meaning..." Nian Weiji squatted on the ground thinking, suddenly felt a cold on the tip of his nose, and a drop of water Dripping down his nose onto the ground.

"Hey, where did the water come from?"

Nian Wei raised his head, and more water dripped from it, wetting his face.

"Water is leaking from the metal plate." Wei Zixu also looked up, "And there is more and more water."

The water droplets not only became denser and denser, but also accelerated, and soon formed several water jets, spraying downward from the holes in the metal plate.Nian Weiji wiped his face, and smiled wryly: "It seems that we really can't walk on it. The pressure of the water on the metal plate has increased, and the water should be very deep. It is estimated that it is impossible for us to lift that plate."

The water level rises rapidly, and soon the Chinese New Year has not reached the shoulders.At the end of the year, seeing Wei Zixu's troubled face, remembering that he said he couldn't swim, he could only comfort him: "Hold on to these protruding bricks, kick your legs in the water casually, and you shouldn't be drowned." Die... but wait until the water fills up the well."

Wei Zixu nodded, grabbed the bump obediently, with a stiff expression.At the end of the year, Wei Zixu became more nervous than he imagined.

Then the water continued to rise, surpassing the height of both of them, and they floated, and the current showed no sign of stopping.

"Cough!" Nian Weiji choked on water, coughed heavily, and a bitter taste spread from his mouth.He smacked his lips: "It's so salty."

"Hey, look in the water."

Wei Zixu said eagerly: "The ground has also risen."

At the end of the year, his eyes lit up when he heard these words, and a thought appeared faintly.He looked under the water, and although the scene was somewhat distorted by the refraction, he could still clearly see that the metal plate on the bottom of the water floated up a little and was flush with the first raised stone brick.If the metal plate is lifted by the buoyancy of the water and suspended in the water, it should be easy to remove it at the end of the year.Nian Weiji thought so, plunged into the water, swam to the bottom, lifted the metal plate, but couldn't lift it, it seemed that something was still attached to the metal plate.

Nian Wei swam back to the surface and found that the position of the metal plate was higher than before. He realized that the metal plate may be pressure-sensitive and rises as the pressure increases.He looked up and saw that the water surface was still two-thirds away from the top, and finally understood the purpose of this mechanism.He looked at Wei Zixu in surprise, and found that Wei Zixu also had the same expression as him.

Wei Zixu said: "I just checked with my eyes. The height of the third stone brick is about half a meter. When the metal plate floats to the height of the third stone brick, it will be enough for us to drill down."

"Yeah. But the water has a high salinity, which irritates the cornea. We have to swim down with our eyes closed." Nian Weiji looked at the brick ladder Wei Zixu was holding on to, and said, "It turns out that this ladder is not for climbing. It actually made us climb down."

Wei Zixu has been paying attention to the height of the metal plate at the bottom of the water. It is not easy to see the depth of the water and the shaking of the water surface.The reticular patterns reflected by the water surface fluctuated on Wei Zixu's face, he pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, and took deeper and deeper breaths.Nian Wei has noticed that when Wei Zixu stares at the water, he will show a sense of tension as if he is facing an enemy, and lose his usual calmness.

"Director Wei, don't be nervous. You can grab the ladder and go down later, you can reach the bottom even if you don't know how to swim." Nian Weiji said to Wei Zixu.

"Huh?" Wei Zixu was startled awake, staring blankly at the end of the year. After a while, he finally came back to his senses and said impatiently, "I know."

The space here is small, the two of them have nothing to say, and there is only the echo of the water flow for a while, which echoes in the well many times, which sounds heart-wrenching.

At the end of the year, the whole body was soaked, and the part soaked in the water was so cold that it was numb.He brushed his wet hair back from his head, and kept patting all over his body to avoid stiffness.Wei Zixu's face was pale, and he was not very energetic. At the end of the year, he thought that his physical fitness was much better than his own, so he shouldn't be so cold-resistant.

"I think it's okay." Nian Weiji shook Wei Zixu's shoulder, "The water is almost full. When we swim down, I think the height should be high enough for us to get through."

Now the stagnant water is too deep, the light cannot penetrate, and the bottom is pitch black, and the situation at the bottom of the water cannot be seen.Wei Zixu looked up, and there was only a few meters of space left above, so it was useless to wait.So he took a deep breath and prepared to dive, when he suddenly thought of something, he asked Nian Weiji, "What is your lung capacity?"

The end of the year: "3300."

Wei Zixu was surprised: "Isn't that the vital capacity of a woman? The water is so deep, and it takes us about a minute to swim to the end. Can you hold your breath for that long?"

Nian Weiji said uncertainly: "I haven't tried...but there is no other way now, let's go."

At the end of the year, he tried his best to hold his breath and dived into the water.

As soon as he entered the water, there was a sudden silence around him, and there was a dead silence in his ears.With his eyes closed, Nian Wei was waving his limbs to swim in the water until the resistance was too great and he could only swim to the wall of the well, grab the ladder, and move down step by step.After moving a distance of more than a dozen bumps, Nian Wei gradually felt the oncoming resistance, which was less than half the distance, and the influence of buoyancy was far greater than he imagined.

He used to dive for a short distance and it was relatively easy, but now he dives for a long time, and the huge buoyancy makes him uncomfortable.

Nian Weiji moved with great effort and consumed a lot of oxygen. His vital capacity was really not enough, and the oxygen he held was exhausted quickly.At the end of the year, I was crawling mechanically, my brain was gradually deprived of oxygen, and I couldn't even remember which stone brick I moved to.After climbing one level, there is still another level, one level after another is endless, and even thought that I was retreating at the end of the year, otherwise how could I not reach the end.At the end of the year, my fingers were abraded yesterday, and my wrist was also torn from the game just now. Now it is soaked in concentrated salt water like a knife cut.His hands were shaking constantly, his eyes could not see, he only felt that his fingers had lost feeling, and he suspected that his blood was draining in the salt water.

When grabbing another rock, Nian Weiji's fingers slipped, and one arm was thrown behind him by the buoyancy.At the end of the year, he quickly stopped, grabbed the bump with the last bit of strength, and stuck his whole body on the ladder.After finishing this series of movements, he instinctively wanted to pant.He opened his mouth, and his heart suddenly tightened. He realized that he was underwater now. This breath would definitely choke on the water, and the salt water would enter the lung parenchyma, and he would be drowned immediately.And now the water surface must have filled the entire well, even if he went upstream, he would have no oxygen to replenish, and no matter whether he went up or down, he would be a dead end.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Nian Wei's mind, his chin was suddenly broken by a hand, two cold lips pressed against his, and a big mouthful of air was sent into his mouth, instead of being able to let him go. Deadly salt water.

Nian Wei has been relieved, and finally cleared his mind, he climbed down the ladder again, and this time he climbed to the bottom in one go.

He raised his hand to touch the position of the metal plate, found the gap, and then kicked his feet, holding the metal plate and drilling into the gap.

There was a hatch under the gap, and the year had already hit the glass, and a machine recognition sound could be vaguely heard in his ears.Then the glass door seemed to open, and the water pressure behind him pushed him into the glass door, and Nian Wei fell to the floor, feeling light on his body, and the surrounding environment had changed from the bottom of the water to the ground.Nian Weiji wiped his face carelessly, opened his mouth to breathe greedily.

He gasped several times before opening his eyes. He held his breath for too long, and it took him too long to see.He adjusted for a while, and his vision returned to normal.He looked up, and the first thing he saw was the transparent cabin in front of him, which was the one that scored their physical examination before the game started.He turned his head and saw Wei Zixu lying on his back, gasping for air with his mouth open.Wei Zixu's lips turned white, and he was weak. At the end of the year, he thought that he had taken a breath of oxygen for himself, so Wei Zixu himself must have been tortured by the lack of oxygen.

Not far behind him is the glass hatch through which they entered the game.Now the outside of the glass cabin is full of water. It turns out that the bottom of the well is connected to the hatch leading to the fifth floor.
