Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

About 7 minutes ago.

He Xiaowei shouted, saying that he had found two bullets. After Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong searched in 701 to no avail, they went to the corridor to check, leaving Zhou Qian to search alone in the room.

After looking at the bullets, Gao Shan noticed that Situ Qing raised her hand and held the bell, and walked near the door of No. 3 room.

She seems to have been knocking here and there in this hallway. After checking every floor tile, she is now probing the gap between every two rooms. Finally, she has her eyes on the door itself of the 12 rooms. .

Approaching the door of Room 3, Situ Qing smelled it, and then asked, "Did you smell anything special?"

He Xiaowei was the first to answer: "Ah? What's the smell? I only have the smell of corpses and detergent in my mouth... It's too choking. I won't do this job in the future. I really want to vomit now!"

Door 701 is facing rooms 12, 1, and 2.

Three corpses walked into these three rooms and died separately, and the corpses were all piled up in this half of the circular space.

So Situ Qing turned around and walked to the other half of the corridor.

"I found that there is a strange smell on the doors of the 12 rooms. There are corpses here. If you can't smell it, then go with me and smell it. Actually, the clue I found... should be related to the branch line. Related. Although I don’t want to do math problems, I can give up the branch at any time. But now I seem to have found a way to clear the branch, so I just try it.”

He Xiaowei wiped his hands, didn't pay attention, and walked over with Situ Qing.

At this moment, Lu Mengmeng stood up, followed Situ Qing's example just now, and walked to No. 3 gate.

Raising his hand to gently hold the door, Lu Mengmeng put his hand over it carefully. Lu Mengmeng made a sniffing motion, and then he said: "The detergent on the floor is really pungent, and it will affect our smell. But my nose is very pungent. Sensitive, the smell here is indeed a little different."

After leaving Room 3, Lu Mengmeng went to the door of Room 4 and 5 to try and smell the smell.

At this time, the fog in the corridor became slightly thicker, Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong wanted to see Lu Mengmeng's exploration more clearly, so they clasped their hands and followed.

During those 2 minutes, the corridor hadn't become as long as it was later. The five people divided into two groups, and quickly walked around 701, and then all returned to meet at the door of Room 701.

He Xiaowei blinked and said, "It does seem to have a smell, but it's quite different from detergent or something. What do you think?"

Lu Mengmeng replied affirmatively: "It has a smell. All the doors have a strange smell."

After a few people discussed a few more words, the dense fog began to get heavier and heavier, and the corridor was gradually getting longer, so that the entire circular space was getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, footsteps were faintly heard from the door of Room 701, and He Xiaowei immediately asked if Zhou Qian had come out.

Zhou Qian responded, saying that he was going to check the door of Room 7.

He Xiaowei immediately followed after hearing this.

When the two left the door of Room 701 one after another, Gao Shan found that he could no longer see them.

This mist will obscure the line of sight, and it is always difficult to rest assured.

Thinking of this, Gao Shan clenched Yun Xiangrong's fingers beside him even more. "Rongrong, be careful."

The two were so close, but it was difficult for him to see her clearly, so he had to hold her tightly in his hand to feel at ease.

After a while, Gao Shan discussed with Yun Xiangrong, and the two followed Zhou Qian in the direction of Zhou Qian, wanting to see the result of his entry into Room 7.

During this period, they could hear two kinds of footsteps faintly behind them.Lu Mengmeng and Situ Qing must have followed.

In this way, Zhou Qian is at the front, He Xiaowei follows closely, Gao, Yun, Lu, and Si are at the end, and the six players are all walking in the same direction, towards Room 7.

Because the fog is too thick, although they know it is safe and harmless, the psychological burden of Gaoshan and others has become very heavy.

No one dared to take it lightly, they all slowed down their pace.

A moment later, on the way to rooms 6 and 7, Gao Shan heard Situ Qing's voice.

The strange dense fog in the corridor seemed to have the effect of isolating the sound, so that Situ Qing was only a few steps away, but Gao Shan had to concentrate carefully to hear her voice clearly.

It stands to reason that Zhou Qian is not far away at the moment, but Gao Shan doesn't know whether he has opened the door of Room 7 or whether he has entered the room, because he really can't hear any movement from Zhou Qian's place.

I only heard Situ Qing's voice very faintly: "This is just the first branch of the second-level dungeon. In fact, it is very simple to break the so-called 'law'. I think the whole floor is a mystery - I guess, In fact, the customs clearance method is directly written on the door."

Yun Xiangrong's voice rang in Gao Shan's ear. "Don't you mean... every door is marked with some kind of chemical reagent, and when the temperature rises or falls, words will be displayed on it?"

"This floor seems to be some kind of spiritual space related to Jiang Yuqing. Isn't Jiang Yuqing a scientist? I think the guess of the chemical reagent can correspond to his identity.

"Besides, have you ever played escape rooms? In fact, this is a very common routine. I can help you.

After Situ Qing's cold words fell, Gao Shan could feel the ringing of crisp bells.

"Jingle Bell……"

"Jingle Bell--"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

Light snow suddenly fell in the corridor out of thin air. Gao Shan spread his hand, and he could see a snowflake falling into his palm and then melting away.

But he couldn't see the rest of the snowflakes all over the sky.

Because once they fall, they are submerged in the mist.

The temperature dropped rapidly, and after that, Lu Mengmeng's voice was faintly heard from the direction of the No. 6 door.

He was obviously not far away, but because of this weird fog, the voice seemed to come from the clouds.

Gao Shan held Yun Xiangrong's hand, followed the sound and walked over, and then saw Lu Mengmeng standing at the door of a certain room not far away.

Due to the thick fog, when he got close to the door of the room, Gao Shan discovered that there was a symbol that hadn't appeared on the door before.

— that's an "S".

"I'm an assassin, my speed is very fast, save time, I'll help you to look through all the rooms."

After Lu Mengmeng said this, she took out a handful of short spikes and held them in her hand, and then disappeared in front of Gao Shan with a flash of his figure.

"His speed is really fast enough." Yun Xiangrong couldn't help sighing.

Not long after she finished speaking, a black shadow approached and stopped, but Lu Mengmeng had already appeared again.

He doesn't seem to have strong attack power, and his defense seems to be quite weak.

But he is worthy of being an assassin who comes and goes without a trace, holding the short thorn in his hand, his speed is faster than Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong's imagination.

Lu Mengmeng's voice rang out immediately: "I found it! There are 12 doors, and there is something hidden on each door! 34567, there is an 'S' hidden on the doors of the five rooms, and the other seven rooms are hidden. There are '7' on the door of the room. So, so...

"I see! Although we haven't found the exact clues and plot stories related to status, we can find the answer from the personal demonstration of the three cleaners!"

"First of all, the two rooms 6 and 7 must be safe! Didn't Zhou Qian say just now that No. 7 is safe, and he will go to No. 7! By the way, I just searched around just now, but I didn't see him. It means that he has already entered room 7, and has started looking for evidence. But he is not dead! Therefore, number 7 is safe, and number 6 must be safe too!"

Lu Mengmeng's voice was a little excited and agitated, his voice was slender, and in the state of excitement at the moment, it seemed a little sharp. "6 and 7 are safe, the doors of 6 and 7 are engraved with 'S'... 34567 has 'S', but the other rooms are '7'. We can infer from this that the troop numbered S has a higher status than Troop number 7 low!

"So 34567 is all safe rooms! Zhou Qian has already entered Room 7, let's go to Room 6 to have a look now!"

After finishing speaking, in the mist, Gao Shan could be seen faintly. Lu Mengmeng turned around and walked directly to Room 6.

He put his hand straight up on it, as if intending to push it away.

It's just that he didn't act immediately, he paused, and seemed to turn his head away.

Gao Shan couldn't see clearly, but he could feel that he seemed to be looking at himself. "I, I'm a bit too afraid to be alone, or we—"

"No, stop!"

This sound was Yun Xiangrong's voice.She said seriously: "No, the symbol on this door is wrong, this is definitely a trap!"

Unable to understand what his girlfriend meant, Gao Shan immediately asked her: "What's going on?"

Yun Xiangrong then explained to Gao Shan the clearance conditions that the system sent to players before. "...So, Brother Shan, the safe room will change. They can't be constant. We have to find out what will make the gunman's status decline, so we can solve the problem."

"So that's how it is..." Gao Shan frowned, then immediately took a step towards the door of Room 6, and said sharply, "Lu Mengmeng, stop! Don't go in!"

"Ah, ah, oh... well... so that's how it is..."

There was a voice like Lu Mengmeng's in front of No. 6 door.

Then Takayama couldn't hear anything.

Gao Shan felt that Lu Mengmeng's words were very strange.

It stands to reason that he almost died after entering gate 6. It stands to reason that his voice should be full of joy after the disaster, or it should be fear and fear.But for some reason, Gao Shan could hear some disappointment and hesitation in his words.

After that, Gao Shan didn't hear Lu Mengmeng speak for a long time.

Somewhat worried about his condition, Gao Shan took Yun Xiangrong's hand and walked a few steps forward, and he was relieved when he saw the thin figure in front of No. 6 gate was still there.He raised his voice and said, "Lu Mengmeng, are you okay?"

"Ahem..." After a long while, Lu Mengmeng's voice came, "I'm fine! I was just thinking about a problem... If, if everything I just said is a trap, then someone will plot against us? Could it be that these S and 7, who painted them?"

Hearing this, Gao Shan bent his head sideways, almost touching Yun Xiangrong's forehead.

In the dense fog, such a short distance allowed them to see each other's eyes.

The two had a perfect understanding, and Gao Shan understood Yun Xiangrong's meaning - the person who plotted against everyone could only be Situ Qing.

After all, from the beginning to not long ago, she had been wandering in the corridor, had enough time to forge clues, and the first person who claimed that the door smelled of chemical reagents was her.

Gao Shan replied: "It should be like this. Someone wants us to die."

Then he heard Lu Mengmeng say suspiciously: "But... who is it? Who would do this? What is his purpose? But... no matter what, let me look for clues.

"This space is getting bigger and bigger. You are too slow to investigate. I still have skill points, so leave it to me. I will run around the corridor quickly and check all 12 doors to see if there are any Leaving any traces can reveal the identity of the scheming person. This person has such sinister intentions...I must find him!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Mengmeng used his skills again, his shadow flickered and disappeared in front of Gao Shan in an instant.

Holding Yun Xiangrong's hand tightly, Gao Shan frowned and said, "This is really weird. Situ Qing...why does she want to kill us? Killing everyone, what's good for her?"

At this moment, the two heard some movement from the side.

But because the entire space is constantly expanding, they standing at the door of Room 6 couldn't tell for a while whether the sound came from Room 7 next to it, or whether it was from a place farther away.

Yun Xiangrong subconsciously noticed something, took Gao Shan's hand, quietly walked a few steps in the direction where the strangeness came, and then whispered to him: "There is no point in killing us, maybe Situ Qing is here for Zhou Qian. "

Gao Shan frowned: "Why?"

Yun Xiangrong said: "Our game videos can be seen by S-level players and high-level gamblers. I don't think we have done anything. I don't know He Xiaowei and Lu Mengmeng, so let's not talk about it for now. But Dong Xiang's death had something to do with Zhou Qian. Maybe someone hired C-level Situ Qing just to kill Zhou Qian and avenge Dong Xiang.

"Otherwise, she is a C-level player, and she also claims that she is not interested in hidden dungeons...Since that is the case, why is she here for this dungeon?"

"Yes! I'm afraid it's true! She wants to kill Zhou Qian!"

Gao Shan couldn't help becoming serious, and immediately took out his shield. "Zhou Qian was not able to fall for the traps she made on the door, so she might have to be tough. Now... now that the fog is so thick, it's a good time for her to do it!"

"Jingle Bell……"

"Jingle Bell--"

The bell rang again.

Gao Shan felt his hand being further tightened by Yun Xiangrong. "The previous ice and snow...is also Situ Qing's blindfold. Based on her previous actions, we would mistakenly think that her bell is continuing to use skills to lower the temperature. But her real intention is to use skills to kill people. It can kill people Bell!"

Listening to his girlfriend's words in his ears, Gao Shan could feel the sound of bells ringing far and near, and the continuous "jingling" sound was so disturbing that it almost completely messed up people's minds.

At the same time, the ice and snow seemed to be gathering faintly, so that it seemed to gradually gather into a ball-shaped black shadow in the thick fog.

Looking at Yun Xiangrong, Gao Shan took her hand, and together they chased the ringtones and the wind and snow, walking through the thick fog.

After traveling an unknown distance, the overwhelming ice and snow landed, spun, and gathered into a huge ice ball, which slammed into a door.

Stepping forward immediately, Gao Shan noticed a "7" engraved on the door.

That's Zhou Qian's room!

He should be looking for physical evidence inside at this moment.

Situ Qing, the snow girl, used a big move on him, intending to kill him!

Thinking of this, Gao Shan let go of Yun Xiangrong's hand, and raised the shield with both hands. "I'll zoom into the room and help Zhou Qian block it!"

"Wait, Brother Shan, I..."

Yun Xiangrong subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but her thoughts came after her conscious actions, and she couldn't translate her concerns into appropriate words for a while.

In fact, she really didn't want to understand what was wrong.

——Regardless of whether other rooms can be entered or not, Zhou Qian just said that he entered door 7, and door 7 should indeed be safe...

"Rongrong, we need to save him. Firstly, my character does not allow me to ignore death; secondly, if we want to move forward, we really need his help."

Looking back towards Yun Xiangrong, Gao Shan said, "I'm sorry, I'm not smart enough. I alone can't take you all the way to the end. But luckily we met Zhou Qian. I think he can take us all the way. Take hidden achievements, earn gold coins, and finally... in exchange for what you want most."

"Brother Shan..."

Yun Xiangrong opened his eyes wide.

The next moment, the puck slammed into the door of Room 7.

Gao Shan was afraid that Xue Nu's big move would affect Yun Xiangrong, so he pushed her away, then quickly picked up the shield and rushed into the door of No. 7 room first——

"boom!"

It was the sound of bullets firing.

·

Time goes back to this moment.

Zhou Qian quickly opened the door and looked to the side.

In the dense fog, he vaguely saw a figure rushing out. The situation was exactly the same as that of the three cleaners before. The figure jumped forward and fell heavily on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a female voice cried out in despair, almost piercing through the eardrums to the heart, making people tremble along with her sadness...

In this way, it was too late to recognize the face of that shadow, through his figure, and the desperate cries that could almost pierce all the thick fog in the corridor, Zhou Qian's eyelids twitched violently, and he had probably guessed what happened.

He reacted quickly, and the first thing he did was to take out the [God's Rib] and use the unique skill of this weapon.

Yun Xiangrong's cries suddenly became infinitely longer, but her steps towards the high mountain were delayed.

The circular corridor, walls, and ceiling all suddenly appeared distorted in the dense fog, and the speed at which the corridor grew longer and the dense fog thickened became very, very slow.

——Zhou Qian slowed down the flow of time.

All progress is infinitely slowed down, including the death of Gao Shan who fell to the ground.

The blood flow to the shot site in his chest had almost stopped.

In this space, the only one who was not affected, as if standing outside of time, was Zhou Qian himself.

His first move was to raise his left hand, enter the system trading house, and try to contact Qi Liuxing.

He needs Qi Liuxing to send the [Tick Tock Clock] with resurrection power to save Gao Shan.

But after waiting for a while, Qi Liuxing didn't reply to the message, and the skill effect of the divine bone has a time limit, so Zhou Qian didn't look at the system for the time being, instead, he clenched the white bone in his hand and walked quickly to In front of Gaoshan.

Squatting down in front of Gao Shan, Zhou Qian held one end of the divine bone, and put the other end of the divine bone into Gao Shan's hand.

In this way, Zhou Qian also temporarily pulled Gao Shan out of the regular timeline.

Everything around has infinitely approached stillness.

The only ones who can move and talk are Zhou Qian and Gao Shan.

Lowering his head, through the fog, what Zhou Qian saw at a glance was the blood flowing from Gao Shan's body.This color he hated so much, mixed with a strong fishy smell, made his temples throb.

Some kind of restless element that made him irritable and hidden deep in his blood, after seeing blood continuously, especially after discovering that it came from Gao Shan's body... finally seemed to be unable to hold back.

All the dense fog in front of me is no longer white, but seems to have turned bright red.

Zhou Qian didn't feel angry or sad, he just felt irritable.

It was as if a million ants had crawled into his blood, throbbing, eager to get out, so that every nerve in his body was aching.He had to vent hard to dispel this rage.

When he fell ill in reality, every time Li Xuehai rushed over to give him a tranquilizer.

But now that he is in the game, he does not have such a tranquilizer.

He can only rely on himself.

Closing his eyes and forcing himself to exhale a long breath that almost smelled like blood rust, Zhou Qian managed to suppress the dryness.

Then he quickly said to Gao Shan: "I'm sorry, I didn't let you die happily, and you have to endure the pain to talk to me. But I need to know what happened to you. You tell me everything. I will To avenge you."

Opening his mouth and exhaling slowly, Gao Shan lay on the ground, weakly holding the divine bone that allowed him to stand beyond time in one hand, he spoke softly, and told Zhou Qian everything that happened just now.

Then he said: "I, I should go to Room 7, why..."

Zhou Qian quickly raised his head and looked behind Gao Shan.

The door there has been closed again, and there is a "7" written on the door plate.

But Zhou Qian knew that what he entered was the real room "7".

The room that Gao Shan entered was actually room "6" where people would die.

Someone switched the house numbers of these two rooms!

The moment he retracted his gaze, Zhou Qian immediately understood what happened.

He guessed that Situ Qing was teaming up with others.

Now it seems that that person can only be Lu Mengmeng.

Situ Qing and Lu Mengmeng conspired to trick Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong into going to the so-called 34567 five safe houses.

But Yun Xiangrong was clever and was not fooled.

So the two quickly changed their tactics.

——Using the dense fog that can block sight and affect hearing, as well as those rooms whose positions are not fixed because the corridors are getting longer and longer, they changed the house numbers of the adjacent rooms 6 and 7, and induced Gao Shan to enter Room 6 where the shooter will shoot.

The sound of "jingle bell" that was suddenly distant and near was made by Situ Qing.

Yun Xiangrong judged before that Situ Qing rang the bell to kill Zhou Qian.

But she was wrong.

Situ Qing's real purpose was to interfere with Gao and Yun's judgment on the distance.

Room 6 and Room 7 are adjacent to each other. The thick fog and the long corridor, coupled with the interference of bells near and far, made Gao and Yun walk a similar distance in the dense fog by feeling, and saw a hanging " 7" room, he will not suspect him at all, and really treat it as room 7.

As for the person who can quickly exchange these two room number plates, it can only be the assassin Lu Mengmeng.

His speed is very fast, using the cover of thick fog to move quickly and exchange number plates, it is too difficult for people to spot.

In the end, the two men succeeded.

They successfully induced Takayama to break into what he thought was room 7, causing him to actually enter room 6, where he was shot.

But originally Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong would not be fooled.

Investigating the root cause, Zhou Qian knew that the reason why Gao Shan went to Room 7 was to save himself.

His eyes froze briefly, Zhou Qian seemed to see someone else through the bloody mountain.

Afterwards, in a squatting position, looking deeply into Gao Shan's eyes, Zhou Qian's expression was extremely serious.He said in a very indifferent voice: "Do you know that I hate to owe someone's life the most."

Reluctantly looking up at Zhou Qian, Gao Shan sighed, and then said: "Zhou Qian, you just said...you want to avenge me, but I don't need it. I was fooled in this matter. It has nothing to do with you .”

Zhou Qian looked at him coldly: "What? You still have to be a good person, right?"

I couldn't hold back the dryness in my heart.

Zhou Qian's feelings of grief, love and hatred are still very light, but now he can feel a wave of irritability and anger.

No, if this goes on like this, he may have another illness.

Staring into Gao Shan's eyes, Zhou Qian almost gritted his teeth and said, "Most people in this world are villains, and there are very few good people. I have only met two purely good people in my life, one is Bai Zhou. , one is you."

——Before, Zhou Qian said something to Qi Liuxing, which was wrong.

During the copy of "Apple Paradise", he did try to threaten Gao Shan and Yun Xiangrong through the trading company. If they didn't come to help, he would lure the believers over and let everyone die together.

But before he sent that message, he first received a message from Gao Shan.

Gao Shan said that he was worried, he persuaded Yun Xiangrong to come and help, and they would arrive immediately.

At this moment, in the static time and space, even death seems to be static.

But Zhou Qian knew it was fake, it was just like a dream.

This momentary stillness before him will eventually disappear.

And the death that should come will come after all.

Looking at Gao Shan, Zhou Qian said in a very hoarse and deep tone: "I have only seen you two good people. But Gao Shan, Bai Zhou is dead, and now you are going to die too. It can be seen that in this world, good people don't live long, only evil people live." Millennia. So I—”

Gao Shan accepted his words with a wry smile. "So, you want to make yourself a scourge?"

"Yes." Zhou Qian squeezed Shengu's fingers so hard that his veins almost burst out, "So I want to be a bad guy, a villain. I..."

Gao Shan shook his head, and immediately interrupted him: "Zhou Qian, I don't need you to avenge me. I don't want Rong Rong to avenge me either.

"Thank you for buying me some time. Using this time, I will leave some of my gold coins and props to you, and leave the rest to Rongrong..."

Sighing deeply again, Gao Shan said: "I give you these gold coins and props to ask you for one thing. Rongrong looks gentle on the outside, but her personality is more stubborn than anyone else. You must persuade her not to do it for me. Revenge. Otherwise, I'm afraid that she will go astray..."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian's pupils were so dark that they bottomed out.

After a while, he looked at the mountain with these eyes without any emotion. "I'm afraid I can't persuade you. You are right. She is very stubborn in her bones. She will definitely not listen to my advice. She will definitely embark on the road of revenge."

Facing his own death, Gao Shan was not in a hurry.

But now he is in a hurry.

Enduring the severe pain, he stretched out his other hand and clasped Zhou Qian's wrist tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you can persuade her for me. I know you are good at persuading people, you are very good at persuading people. There is a set..."

"It's impossible for someone like Yun Xiangrong to persuade her to let go of revenge for you. Then—"

Before Gao Shan interrupted him, Zhou Qian changed the subject and said something that completely stunned Gao Shan.

——"Then, let her hate me."

When Zhou Qian said this, there was no emotion in his eyes.

He said very calmly: "You and Yun Xiangrong's analysis is wrong. A scum like Dong Xiang, I don't think anyone would set up such a battle to avenge him. Or, a person of his level... I can't afford Situ Qing at all.

"The two people, Situ Qing and Lu Mengmeng, cooperate so well that it's unimaginable, and there's probably someone controlling them behind the scenes.

"So behind this matter, there may even be a difficult organization involved."

"Of course, no matter what the truth is, the killer must be after me.

"You and Yun Xiangrong suffered because of me. If Yun Xiangrong confronts such an organization alone in order to avenge you, it is indeed very dangerous, so I promise you, I will not let her get involved in the crisis .”

"Gao Shan, first of all, I will find a way to contact Qi Liuxing and get [Tick Tock Clock] to save you."

"If this path doesn't work, please sleep a little longer and wait for me for a while. I will definitely go to the end of this game and find a way to save you. And before that—"

With a nonchalant tone, as if it had nothing to do with him, Zhou Qian said, "Let Yun Xiangrong hate me and come after me."

After half an hour.

The role of the god bone disappears.

Time flow returns to normal.

In a pool of blood, Gao Shan closed his eyes forever.

And the moment Zhou Qian withdrew his hand and pulled out the divine bone from the mountain——

A looming white shadow floated out from Gao Shan's body, and was sucked into the bones again.
