"Each contestant has a total of ten points. When the score reaches zero, they will be eliminated, and two points will be deducted for wrong answers. Five points will be deducted for the criminal who reveals his identity. If he is not found, he can directly enter the next level after 36 hours." The sound continued. Human voice, "Next, I will play a recording for everyone."

Ever since, the sound of the tape spinning was heard, and everyone breathed lightly unconsciously.

At first, there was an eerie silence, and then there was the sound of opening a glass window, so the sound of cicadas outside the window came in.

First of all, the time information is confirmed, Xia Tian.

There was another silence, with some knocking and knocking sounds in between.

Um?What's this, it's kind of like...the clang of metal.

Suddenly, after two crisp "ding" sounds, there was a burst of extremely heavy footsteps. At this moment, someone finally spoke, "Who are you?"

This voice sounds very strange, like an alien whose voice has been changed. It can only be vaguely discerned that it comes from a woman, and it makes people feel hairy when they speak.

In addition, there is such a trace of unusual sense of disharmony... Lin Rang always feels that this sense of disobedience seems familiar, but it is hard to explain.

The owner of the footsteps laughed "hehe" twice, and there was an indescribable aura inside.

Of course, this voice has also been tampered with, and it is still very strange.

"What are you doing!" The female voice sounded a little panicked, and at the same time there was the sound of a cup being smashed to the ground.

There was another burst of chaotic and dense footsteps, gradually drifting away, followed by the woman's cry for help and the sound of things scattered in the room.

It was messy, yet the scene was surprisingly vivid.

Many voices were mixed together, and finally there was an extremely heavy impact sound followed by a very crisp "ding--".

Everyone came back to their senses, and their faces became more and more ugly.

This is the first time I have heard the despair of others so clearly.

That's ridiculous... Lin Rang touched his head, "He means, among us, there are npcs?"

After hearing this, the original lifelessness slowed down a bit, yes, no matter how I think about it, it should be acting, it's just a little more realistic.

"No." Suddenly someone answered, drawing everyone's attention.

The one who spoke was a woman with curly hair, her face was extremely ugly, as if she was covered with a layer of gray under the pale light.She clenched her hands into fists, frowned, and clenched her teeth tightly.

Without waiting for others to ask questions, she continued on her own: "I am the woman who was raped in the tape."

"..."

There was a deathly silence in the stone room.

"It's fake..." Lin Rang said in disbelief.

"That, that is to say, there is really a prisoner among us?" The fat woman who was holding the notebook before said shyly.

Everyone began to look at the people around them at the same time, their eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

In this group of people, there are slovenly tramps, well-dressed white-collar workers, and wrinkled old monks... If it weren't for signing up for such a competition, they probably wouldn't be able to gather in this ghostly place from all over the world in their entire lives.

Most people's faces are not very good-looking like myself, only the young man in the black jacket has a calm face, and Fang Zhiyou is still nesting in the corner playing chess with Duke Zhou, as if "it's none of your business" hang high".

While looking at it, the woman with the disheveled hair closed her eyes again, looking extremely painful, "Ten days ago, I received an email saying that the prisoner would participate in this competition, and that's why I came here."

"Do you know who the prisoner is?" Lin Rang asked with a frown.

Unfortunately, the woman with curly hair shook her head, "He broke in through the window wearing a hood."

"Then this recording..." Lin Rang just felt a little confused.

In terms of IQ, he is a little confident.In the high school entrance examination, he entered the provincial key high school with the top ten results in the district. He was always among the best in the back-to-back examinations, and he won many awards in various competitions.To be honest, he really couldn't understand that the homeless man and the old monk actually came to play in this kind of competition that clearly relied on brains.

"This... I don't know either." The woman with curly hair also looked puzzled.

Lin Rang touched his chin, and carefully recalled the contents of the recording just now, "When you listened to the recording, did you find anything strange?"

So the rest of the people also looked contemplative.

"Echo." Suddenly there was a voice from the corner, and at some point, the elder brother who was recovering from sleep had already opened his eyes.

This man, just now looked like he was going to sleep till he was too old to be lazy, but now he was imposing, with just two words, it made people unable to react for a long time.

"Echo?" Lin Rang couldn't help repeating it, and then suddenly realized, "Yes! There is an echo!"

All of a sudden, the so-called sense of disobedience was resolved.Wait, so the man wasn't asleep even though his eyes were closed?

I saw Fang Zhiyou yawned again, lazily patted his buttocks and stood up, "Not only the echo, but also the sound of panting."

Wheezing?Lin Rang frowned, "You mean, there was a third person there?"

"Smart." Fang Zhiyou boasted very carelessly, "I guess he hid in the closet."

After hearing this, the pan-headed woman's complexion became a little worse, and the gray mist on her face almost turned into black mist.

"Among the thirteen people?" the fat woman asked.

However, Fang Zhiyou just shrugged and didn't speak again.

It was the man in the black jacket who answered, "Yes."

This is very strange.Lin Rang couldn't help raising his eyebrows and looked over, "How do you know?"

"Because." The man also turned to look at him with a calm expression, "He is also a prisoner."

At this time, the voice of the man in sunglasses came out from the broken speaker, "Exactly, our company also believes that ignoring death is tantamount to killing people."

Lin Rang was a little speechless. Among the thirteen people in total, there were two criminals?

"That monk over there, why hasn't he spoken?" Fatty's eyes fell on the monk who was sitting alone next to the wall in meditation. "I haven't seen him chant scriptures yet, so he must be a dumb monk, right?"

The eyes of everyone looked over, and the monk slowly opened his eyes, but he still didn't say a word.

After a while, he slowly raised his hand, his hands changed, and he made several gestures.

"Is he really dumb? What did he say?" The fat man scratched his head.

However, before Xiao Qianqian, who is proficient in sign language, could help translate, the monk opened his mouth, revealing an empty mouth.

This old monk has no tongue?Lin Rang's heart trembled when he saw it, and he took a step back subconsciously, and then felt that it was not appropriate, so he quickly restrained his expression.

"What did he just say?" The fat man asked, frowning.

Only then did Xiao Qianqian reply: "He just said that he has no tongue, and you have seen it now..."

"Monk, what are you doing...?" The homeless man was well-informed, and he was not frightened, so he even came forward to ask.

However, after asking, he couldn't understand the monk's gestures, so he could only turn his head and look at Xiao Qianqian helplessly.

"He said that it was cut by his brother in the temple..." Xiao Qianqian even wondered if she had read it wrong.

In the end, the old monk still nodded his head, and everyone immediately looked at each other in shock, not knowing what to say...

Lin Rang couldn't help but sighed, feeling that this topic shouldn't go any further, so he suggested, "Shall we all introduce ourselves first?"

Indeed, thirteen people spent a long time in a room, but they didn't even know the names of the people around them.

Xiao Qianqian was the first to agree, and immediately took a step forward, "My name is Xiao Qianqian, and I am 22 years old." As she spoke, she pulled her sister who was standing next to her, "Her name is Xiao Yingying, she is my twin sister. After a serious illness, I couldn't speak. We usually like to play escape rooms, so we signed up for this competition."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yingying also smiled and nodded to everyone.

"Twins?" Fatty exclaimed.

Seeing his suspicious expression, Xiao Qianqian was a little annoyed, "Why? Don't you believe me?"

Only then did the fat man realize his gaffe, so he waved his hands with a smirk, "No, no, no, I've never seen twins in my life, so I was so excited. My name is Guan Hong, and I usually do odd jobs around. Seeing that the bonus is rich , I just wanted to get some money. You can just call me Fatty."

Then Lin Rang scratched his head and continued, "My name is Lin Rang. This year, I will take the college entrance examination on the [-]th and next year. My first choice is Tsinghua University. I hope I can return to my hometown this time."

"Oh, Xueba." That Bai Xianxian boasted with a smile, "My name is Deng Zhou, an ordinary white-collar worker."

This man's hair has been combed meticulously with hairspray, his suit is also ironed to perfection, and his tie is very neatly tied. He looks very refined.

After a brief silence, a woman in a white shirt answered, "My name is Chu Xian, a...doctor."

Lin Rang frowned, why did he pause when talking about doctors?

However, before he could think about it, the unkempt homeless man said, "I'm just a homeless man. You can call me Lao Li. I have nothing else to say."

Standing next to Lao Li was the woman with the pan head, her face was still pale at the moment, so the introduction was very brief, "My name is Sun Ning, I am 27 years old."

As for the monk, Xiao Qianqian helped translate after making a few hand gestures, roughly speaking: "The poor monk's name is Rong Hai, a native of Yunnan."

Everyone subconsciously clapped their hands at him.

Then it was the fat woman's turn.She looks to be in her 30s, with a big round face, round and plump cheeks, small eyes and a round nose. She pursed her lips and smiled at everyone before she said, "I, my name is Wan Li. I'm a housewife. Writing novels, the most recent theme is escape rooms, so, that's why I came here."

It turns out that he is a realist writer, no wonder he always holds a notebook, probably to write down his inspiration.

At this moment, the man with shoulder-length hair next to Wan Li made a sound.

But he just popped out the word "I", and was interrupted by the fat man.

"You! I know you! You are the CCTV reporter, right? That! The one who reported the anti-drug case three years ago! What's his name?" Shen Si, "Call...Call...Jiang Chun, right? It is said that the drug dealer's den was in our area at that time, and everyone was in panic! Fearing that there would be some remnants of evil, they kept saying that they would protect you. Go!"

Jiang Chun smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "When we are a reporter, you have to risk your life."

"Awesome." Everyone boasted.

So far, there are only two people left who haven't introduced themselves, so their eyes drift towards them unconsciously.

Fang Zhiyou first turned his head to look at the man in the black jacket, and winked to signal him to come first, but he didn't say anything after most of the day, so he cleared his throat and said, "My name is Fang Zhiyou, I'm retired from the army." Soldiers, currently vagrants."

This man was tall, more than [-] by visual inspection, with a straight back, broad shoulders and narrow waist, a natural clothes hanger, and slender legs.The facial features are deep and three-dimensional yet harmonious, and the eyes are narrow and long. Even if he is standing lazily, there is always a domineering air.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the last person in unison.

"My name is Zhu Liang." His voice was not very loud, but it was clearly audible.

That's... okay?Lin Rang looked at him blankly.

"It's gone." Zhu Liang put a full stop bluntly.

As a result, the entire stone room fell into a strange silence.Suddenly, Fang Zhiyou seemed to have remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, about this bonus system..."
