Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Ke Yuxiao's words seemed to make sense.

After listening to his narration, Li Buhui stopped his movements immediately.

He said: "But this is very strange. If the little girl who traps us is an evil spirit, if we don't help her, we won't be able to get out. If we help her...it may cause other problems. What, what should we do?"

After hearing his words, Yin Jiujiu said, "It's useless to guess now. Let's not open the door in a daze, let's look for clues first."

·

5 minute later.

Zhou Qian didn't find any clues, but pulled Wu Ren to sit in the corner near the window and muttered.

He ended by saying, "So you get it? Those of us in the odd numbers should actually band together."

“你就扯吧。你讲的我根本听不懂。”吴仁道，“按战力排名的1、3、5、7的奇数位联合起来？但第3和第5，本来就是你的人。2、4、6里面，那个第2的司徒晴，好像也是你带来的吧。”

"Time will pass, and everyone's points will be less and less. It's really the last step. What I'm talking about is the most likely situation. First of all, it's really the last moment. In order to win points, there is a high probability that everyone will not cooperate , but on their own. This is one of them.

"Secondly, the core issue. Once a powerful person has no mana, there is a high probability that he will be killed by a less powerful person first, because the latter's motivation is stronger than competing for points. So——

"At that point, there is a high probability that people with an even number will attack me first."

Wu Ren narrowed his small eyes and asked him, "They attacked you, what does that have to do with me?"

Zhou Qian whispered: "If you kill me, you will definitely be killed. Why does this have nothing to do with you? In fact, when we are two people ranked first and last, we are both equally unlucky."

Wu Ren didn't even want to figure out what Zhou Qian said just now.

He felt like his brain had exploded.

But he took a look at his watch and found the message from his gambler.

[He is right; but that is just the result of excluding various special cases and abstracting complex situations into simple models. Even in the end, there are still huge variables; in addition, your focus is to obtain life points. What does Qian want to do?]

Seeing this, Wu Ren coughed lightly, and asked Zhou Qian, "All right. You talk to me so much... What do you want me to do?"

"There is a solution to the series of problems I mentioned just now." Zhou Qian said with a smile, "You are the most powerful person...then you come to command us by force."

Wu Ren gave Zhou Qian a very surprised look.

Zhou Qian said: "Everyone is fighting, no one can be alone. But forming a team can break all the logic I just said. And when all seven of us form a team, we can completely break the situation."

After a short pause, Zhou Qian stared at Wu Ren with those dark pupils, and said, "Take this dungeon as a kingdom, and now I and my people will support you as the king. We will serve as your guards together, and everyone Anyone who resists us, we will eliminate them all.

"As a king, you need to read this sentence out—'Whoever dares to do anything to another person, you will kill him directly.'"

"Angkor, only you who are the most powerful are qualified to be king, and only you who say this can have a real deterrent effect.

"After that, you can ask your guards, such as me, to collect all the life points hidden in this dungeon for you. We will all be errands for you..."

In the end, Zhou Qian concluded in a very deceptive tone: "Angkor, think carefully. As long as you say this sentence, the world is yours."

Wu Ren glanced at his watch again, and then said to Zhou Qian: "The world is mine? Oh, but I will be controlled by you, right? I am a bullshit king. I am a puppet controlled by you!"

"Wrong. We are in a relationship of mutual restraint." Zhou Qian said seriously, "Of all people, you are the easiest to kill me. But I am also the person you dare not kill. Therefore, in fact, the relationship between the two of us Cooperation is the most reliable and stable. We can completely trust each other."

Wu Ren, and even his gamblers, have not been able to find any logical loopholes in Zhou Qian's words for the time being.

Zhou Qian was indeed the person he dared not kill the most.

If he killed Situ Qing, who was the second strongest, maybe he wouldn't be afraid.The rest of the people were weaker than Situ Qing.After leaving this room, everyone's actions may be scattered.Even if he ran out of mana, bumped into someone with weak attack power, and relied on a protective gear to recover blood medicine or something, he might still be able to barely survive.

On the contrary, if he kills the weakest Zhou Qian, the probability of meeting someone with strong attack power will be much higher when he has no mana. The worst case is that he bumps into Situ Qing, then maybe he really has no way out.

At the end of the day, on the other hand, if you look at it this way, the one Wu Ren should kill the most is not Zhou Qian, but of course Situ Qing who poses the greatest threat to him.But now Situ Qing's life points may not be much more than his, so it's not worthwhile to kill her rashly.

How to choose?

Should we really follow what Zhou Qian said?

After thinking for a long time, Wu Ren chose to stand up, and temporarily chose to stay away from Zhou Qian, as if he felt that he was some kind of terrible poison that could confuse people too much. "I'll look for clues first."

Looking at Wu Ren's back, Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled, and finally got up to explore.

Zhou Qian first glanced at the busy people in this not too big study, then turned around and looked at the window sill.

The window sill was covered by extremely thick curtains, and no light from outside could come in.

There was no clock in the study, and for a while, everyone didn't even know what time it was in the dungeon.

When he stepped forward to open the curtain, Zhou Qian heard Qi Liuxing's private chat coming from the earphone. "What are you talking about with Wu Ren?"

After hearing Zhou Qian's reply, Qi Liuxing asked slightly surprised: "You really want to support him as a 'king'?"

"of course."

"?"

"I think he'll be very useful."

"..."

"However—" Zhou Qian's pupils sank slightly where the rest of the people couldn't see, "I mainly want to try him."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Qi Liuxing didn't understand. "

I only heard Zhou Qian say: "Someone wants to attack me. The goal was not achieved last time. This time they...will they do nothing?"

Qi Liuxing couldn't help being serious. "Do you suspect...among the rainy man Wu Ren, the female warrior Yin Jiujiu, and the mediocre Li Buhui, one of them will belong to the Pink Army?"

"Of course." Zhou Qian said, "And you are wrong. What if there are all three of them?"

Qi Liuxing: "This..."

"However, even if it is a member of the Pink Legion, the primary purpose is to keep him alive. Therefore, there is no rush. Let's support Wu Ren as the 'king' first, and let him cover us. From the perspective of the game, it is beneficial. In addition, Regardless of whether he is Taohong or not, this is a move that can be taken."

When Zhou Qian finished speaking, he raised his hand and pulled the curtains open.

The moment the velvet curtains were pulled back, the dust accumulated over the years immediately rose up.

Zhou Qian covered his mouth and nose and stepped back half a step. While the dust was slowly falling, he looked at the window—the outside of the glass window was nailed to death with wooden strips, and it was impossible to see the situation outside the window from the inside of the room.

But what is quite strange is that there is a circular hole in the glass, and there are many cracks in the surrounding glass, which may be completely broken into pieces at any time. It is not yet known what caused the hole.

He raised his hand and tried to push the window, but after failing to push it open, Zhou Qian directly took out a hammer from his luggage, as if intending to forcibly pry open or smash the window.

At this time, he received a reminder from Li Xuehai: [Since it is an escape room, such a simple and rough escape method is definitely not allowed, be careful of traps].

"You are so old-fashioned, you know how to escape from the secret room?"

Zhou Qian said something to the void, then raised the hammer and smashed it down without hesitation.

Then he received a series of […] from Li Xuehai.

"I smashed the window for a reason. One piece of glass is cracked and I can't see it clearly, but there seems to be something in the gap between it and the wooden bar outside. I have to take it out to see. Also-"

Zhou Qian said this, on the one hand, he was explaining to Qi Liuxing through the hidden earphone props, and on the other hand, he was explaining it to Li Xuehai.

"Aren't everyone struggling with a few questions just now? Is the little girl an evil spirit? Should we tell her who killed her? Where should we stand? Who is the person who killed her?"

"Leave aside these temporarily uncertain issues. One fact is basically certain. The little girl and her witch mother are on opposite sides. There is a high probability that the little girl is trapped by her mother."

"When Li Buhui went to open the door, he didn't feel that the door was stuck or sealed, he just felt that when he opened the door, the little girl was holding the doorknob, preventing him from opening the door.

"Then it can be speculated...the witch mother didn't seal the study door. Otherwise, the little girl wouldn't have to do it herself."

"So, the witch mother may have sealed the little girl, but what she targeted was not the study, but the whole house, such as the gate of the house, and all the windows and balconies.

"But the door leading from the study to the living room, or the corridor, was not sealed by the witch mother, it's just that the little girl didn't let us go out."

With a sound of "clang", Zhou Qian had already smashed the glass, and began to move the glass shards out one by one.

At the same time, he said: "If you make a move that doesn't satisfy the little girl, your life points will be lost. But what if... you try to break the seal set by the witch mother who is on the opposite side of her?"

After cleaning up the debris, Zhou Qian took out a pair of protective gloves to wear, one is to avoid risks, and the other is to avoid touching things that he hates, such as blood.

Then he held the hammer first, and tried to hit the wooden stick again.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhou Qian smashed the wooden stick with two "bang bang".

But there was something outside the wooden strip—it was a large piece of iron sheet.

When the hammer hit the iron sheet, it made a loud noise.But at this time, the iron sheet did not move at all, and the thick and strong iron sheet seemed to be completely welded to the window.

There are wooden strips outside the glass window, and the wooden strips are pried open, and the outside is iron sheets. I don't know if there is anything outside the iron sheets.

At this moment, Qiliu walked over, frowning maturely: "It's like nesting dolls. Layer after layer. It's so strange. Why don't you just weld the iron sheet to death? The wooden strips inside are meaningless .”

"It's actually not surprising." Zhou Qian asked him: "Boldly guess, why did this happen?"

Qi Liuxing frowned, as if thinking.

He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and found that Ke Yuxiao was also walking over.

Meeting Qi Liuxing's gaze, Ke Yuxiao smiled at him.

This gaze is quite gentle, with a sense of wisdom of an elder, as if he has seen everything through.

Qi Liuxing was a little unhappy immediately, but he tried his best to keep a sullen face. "The two of you knew the answer, but didn't tell me. You both acted like you wanted to test me? How could this happen?"

Zhou Qian smiled and looked at Ke Yuxiao, then he stretched out his gloved hand.

Before he suspected that there was something hidden between the wooden strip and the glass.Halfway through, as he knocked on the glass to remove the wooden bars, the thing fell and fell into the gap under the window.

Now, with the help of gloves, Zhou Qian took out that thing.

Everyone can see what it is.

It seemed to be a hand, but it was really a too weird hand.

- There are only four fingers in the hand, the index finger is missing, the skin of the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are all connected together, the skin is green and wrinkled, covered with red spots, and white-gray hair grows in some places, very Disgusting.

He raised the strange hand indifferently, Zhou Qian handed it to Qi Liuxing and shook it.

Qi Liuxing was not afraid of ghosts, but he really felt that this thing was a bit disgusting, and his face turned pale immediately.

Seeing this, Ke Yuxiao grabbed Qi Liuxing's shoulders, pulled him back a step, and then gave Zhou Qian a look of disapproval.

Zhou Qian glanced at him thoughtfully, then raised his eyebrows, and asked Qi Liuxing: "Why did this hand break between the glass and the wooden strip, do you want to use your imagination?"

Qi Liuxing thought for a while and thought of it.This will no longer be for the purpose of pretending to be old-fashioned, he really frowned seriously.

"The witch locked up the little girl. At first, she just sealed the window with wooden strips. But the little girl was able to break the glass with her bare hands and stretch out her hand, broke the wooden strip, and stretched out her hand——

"Her hand was sticking out of the window, and she was likely to attack someone, so someone or her mother cut off her hand directly.

"Afterwards...her mother, that is, the witch, found new wooden strips outside the house and nailed the windows. Not only that...she also added a layer of iron sheet and welded the window completely! That's why there are iron sheets and There's a real reason for the slats!"

"Yes. And she didn't just lose her mind and smash the window randomly, she used it very skillfully." Zhou Qian added, "Before I smashed the window, I saw that there was a hole in the glass. Now it seems that it is exactly the size of her fist .”

"Is this little girl really an evil spirit? From this point of view, her body has been corrupted by evil spirits, and she has become some kind of monster." Qi Liuxing said, "Her mother is the one with good intentions?"

At this moment, everyone received a system prompt.

[The player tried to smash the glass, triggering the protection of the "Guardian Seal", and everyone's life points increased by 1 point; at the same time, the monitoring of this house will be stricter]

Zhou Qian glanced at his card and found that the number "24" had not changed in any way.

But the countdown below it changed back to [59:59].

After everyone looked at each other for a while, it was the female soldier Yin Jiujiu who spoke.

She first pointed to several places in the house. "A large mirror was broken, a small mirror was blackened, and the small round mirror in the foundation box was also broken...We didn't know the reason at the time. But I'm afraid I know more or less now."

Holding up a photo album, Yin Jiujiu said: "You can find out that the little girl was very cute when she was a child. At that time, she should be human. But there is a photo in the back... her face was blackened with ink.

"I tried to wash off the ink with props and saw her face. She really... looked like a monster."

"Everyone still speculated at the time whether her evil spirit would be similar to a vampire and dare not look in the mirror. But now I have discovered another possibility——

From the photos, from the mirror, the little girl knew that she had become a monster.But she couldn't accept it, so she destroyed all the mirrors in the house and blacked out the recent photos of herself. "

The author has something to say:

Li Xuehai: Can you stop being so rebellious?

Zhou Qian: Can you be so rigid?
