sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo gradually woke up, and when he opened his eyes, it was completely dark around him.

He calmed down after touching the light meter, and took out the flashlight relying on the faint light.

The prolonged lethargy made his body a little sore, and he couldn't stretch it for a while, but the nausea caused by palpitations and fears in the dark did not rise again. He thought it should be the same as Miao Wu. The transaction went live.

There was a brightly lit door a few steps away, but pushing hard did nothing.He lay down on his stomach and listened carefully for a while, there was silence outside the door, the only sound in his ears was from the jeans he rubbed against from time to time, but after he moved his nose, he smelled an unpleasant smell, like no food. Promptly clean up while rot fermented.

Since the door does not move at all, there is no need to waste too much time and energy on it.He turned around and began to look for other passages or prompts to leave.

The range of exposure of the flashlight was just enough to cover all four corners of the room. The floor was ordinary and there were no strange bloodstains, but it was not spotless either.There are no windows here, only a ventilation duct less than half a meter above the head, but directly opposite is a wooden desk that is more than one person long.

He visually measured the height of the chair, and he could barely reach the edge of the ventilation pipe by standing on it, but that was all. Said to find a fulcrum to drill in.

After crossing this idea, Xia Zhuo went to the desk and opened the row of drawers, only to find an envelope in the end.

There were no coats of arms or special patterns on the wax paint, so he tore open the opening two or three times, and unfolded the letter paper inside.

[Dear Mr. Xia, Hello:

Welcome to the Xu family mansion as one of the contenders for the inheritance. As the private property consultant of the old owner of the mansion and the issuer of the rules of the game, I would like to express my praise and appreciation for your positive attitude on this matter.

When you open this letter and see this, it means you are determined to see this race through.

Sorry to bring you into the "room" without permission, but as a test for the old house owner, you need to complete this warm-up game to prove your ability to participate in the final part.

The Xu family has been researching and developing drugs for many years, and now the family has a big business. Besides you, there are nine other players who are the same as you.But the old Patriarch stipulated that only eight people at most can participate in the next session.

Therefore, in order not to be sent back, please leave the "room" as soon as possible.

Then I'm at the door, looking forward to meeting you.

——Old Patriarch’s Private Property Consultant]

Xia Zhuo roughly figured out the general background of this dream through the few first paragraphs of the letter.

This time, they want to participate in some game in this Xu family's mansion, and then share a sum of money.

It is written in the repatriation that it is estimated that the end will be cold. It seems that there are eight out of ten, and two participants will be eliminated from the beginning.

It was the first time he came in and faced a life-and-death situation, stretched eagerly, put the letter into his pocket casually, touched his neck to make sure the white rabbit necklace was still there, and then carefully searched for the exit.

With limited time, unnecessary surveys would only waste energy. He quickly analyzed three directions.

First, look for the key to that door.

Second, investigate the vent pipe further.

Third, seek another way.

The first two items are already clearly on the table, and most people should do the same in their first reaction.But he noticed the phrase "I'm outside the door" mentioned in the letter. If the consultant was in a place where he could see the door as soon as he opened it, then the door in front of him was definitely a fake.

Regardless of the fact that there was no sound outside the door, the disgusting smell also indicated that there was probably a garbage dump outside.

However, as far as the eye could see, there was no opening other than the door that could allow one person to enter and exit.Xia Zhuo thought for a while, knocking along the wall, trying to find the secret passage buried behind the tiles, but the attempt was fruitless, and it was a useless effort.

The loudspeaker hidden next to the ventilation pipe buzzed, and a slightly weird frog voice came: "There are still seven players left to compete for the inheritance quota, please hurry up, players."

Why are there only seven left?

Xia Zhuo was taken aback, and realized that someone had successfully left the room while he was touching the wall.

Regardless of other things, the speed of the first one going out is too fast.

He pouted, turned from the wall back to the table, and searched through the drawers carefully, but still found nothing.

He rearranged his thoughts. There were only a few things in the room. He opened the letter and read it repeatedly, but he didn't find anything strange. The drawer on the table was gone, but the table itself was ignored.

Two meters wide, enough to hide an exit the size of a person.

Xia Zhuo reached out and tried to push the table. The weight of the table should not be underestimated, but it was not completely impossible to shake.However, following his movements, there was a slight wind sound from behind the table, and a slight air current passed over his fingertips, stirring the hair hanging on his forehead.

It seems to be here.

After making up his mind, he threw the table on its side and knocked it to the ground in one go.

The rumbling sound of falling to the ground shook his ears, and before the lingering sound subsided, he had already kicked open a thin layer of wall covering, revealing the big hole hidden behind.

As soon as the flashlight shines in, the end is reached, and the road still has a bend.He couldn't see what was around the corner, and after getting in, he crawled forward vigilantly but not at a slow speed.He prayed that there wouldn't be anything that shouldn't be there, in such a narrow place where he couldn't walk upright, running away would be nonsense.

The tortuous passage is like a maze, but there are not as many forks in the maze, and the participants do not need to choose left or right.After climbing like this for nearly 2 minutes, the surroundings were still calm. Xia Zhuo felt a little relieved, and stopped to rub his aching knee. He thought that it was a good thing he was not wearing ripped jeans. If two big holes were cut in front of the knee Come out, now it is estimated that a layer of skin can be worn off.

The sound of the wind became louder, and the exit should be not far away.

After resting, he was about to move on, but his hand touching the ground felt slippery water stains.The cold temperature caused him to sound the alarm in his brain again. When he looked down, during the short ten seconds of his rest, the ground in front of him was covered with a series of bloodstains. Something invisible was taking a step forward. He bent over and leaned on the wall to move forward.

He realized instantly that if he hadn't stopped just now, then this thing would have followed closely behind him, moving forward with him.

The bloody smell in the air was diluted a lot by the airflow, so that it would not make people feel uncomfortable.He felt his heart beat a lot faster, and after swallowing his saliva, he relaxed and followed.

This feeling of following a ghost is not too bad, but the pants that absorb moisture and gradually stick to the skin make him goose bumps, and he can't help but regret why he didn't go all out just now—as long as he walks fast enough, the ghost will chase him Do not come up!

The footprints ahead suddenly stopped moving.

Xia Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he is still waiting for him to go to the front, right?He really doesn't want to experience this kind of humble virtue now.

"Dah, da——"

The big round hard ball with fingernails fell to the ground, rolled a few more times, and finally hit the wall.

He took a closer look, and it looked like a marble, but it didn't have the glass material of a marble. The surface was smooth but opaque, and a little light pink shell was knocked off, revealing the white inner flesh inside.

It seemed that a hand had picked it up, but at the next moment it was slammed back to the ground again. The fragile shell cracked like a dry and cracked soil surface, and it fell to the ground in pieces.All of this happened in a short time, and when everything returned to tranquility, only the trace of the crushed bead remained, and all the blood stains that crisscrossed and crisscrossed disappeared.

After confirming that it was gone, Xia Zhuonuo picked up the bead and squeezed it, but the shape changed with a little force on the fingers, and there was still a faint sweet smell, it was a sugar ball.

At this time, the same frog sounded in the distance: "There are still six people left to compete for the inheritance quota. Please hurry up, players."

This strange voice brought a little popularity, and weakened the gloomy atmosphere a little.Xia Zhuo stuffed the candy into the warehouse, bent over to support the wall from side to side, and rushed forward in small steps. Not far away, his palm hurt, and he touched something sharp.

There was no blood in the faintly stinging area, only a scratch on the surface of the skin.

He frowned and stopped again, and held up the flashlight to shine on the wall. There were messy knife marks where the light touched, and some patterns were vaguely engraved, but the haphazard lines made the recognition greatly reduced. It's really hard to see what the specific content is. unclear.

"There are still five left to compete for the inheritance quota, please hurry up, players."

In the contest of time, he resolutely gave up the research. If everyone took the same path, it would be a big deal to ask Guan Yuzhou after going out.

Properly relying on one's own man is justified.

After turning two more corners, the space becomes much more spacious.The road can accommodate a person walking upright. After removing the flashlight, he can see the outline of a door not far away. The milky white halo penetrates the small crack of the door, which undoubtedly becomes the dawn of hope at this time.

He lifted his legs and ran over, and there was a scream a few meters away.

The ghost didn't scare him just now, but now the earth-shattering "ah" made him tremble all over, and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

A person also sprang out from the right side of him, also holding a flashlight in his hand, with a shocked expression, he was obviously relieved after seeing him clearly, and said softly to himself: "It's a person, what do I think? something came out..."

This man had a clear voice, was well dressed, and was about his height.

Xia Zhuo took a quick look at him, and quickly made an evaluation in his heart - he is a handsome guy, but not as handsome as him.

He is extremely narcissistic and destined to be irreversible. No one can compare to him except Guan Yuzhou.

Even if he surpassed it, he would never admit it.

Xia Zhuo withdrew his gaze, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked out first.

The author says:

Xia Zhuo: The sky is big and the earth is big, Guan Yuzhou is the biggest!Big in every sense~ (not)
