Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

When he walked into the room, Chi Xiaochi felt that the floor under his feet was strange.

The lights in the room had not been turned on for a long time. When everyone was suspicious, the lights all around suddenly turned on at the same time. The surroundings were bright and bright, as bright as a snowfield.

Meng Gan gasped, covered his eyes and cursed, "Fuck!"

But Chi Xiaochi adapted well.

The moment the light came on, he saw a palm that was vaguely blocking his eyes.

That hand blocked most of the light for him, it was thin and slender, and the light penetrating from the edge of the palm illuminated the curves of his palm lines.

It was Gan Yu's hand.

He has been standing by Chi Xiaochi's side, raising his hand for an unknown how long in the dark, just to help him block the bright light that might suddenly shine on.

When the human eyes are almost able to adapt to the light, the hand is withdrawn from Chi Xiaochi's eyes, and he naturally picks up the gold-rimmed glasses that are stuck in the shirt pocket on his chest, puts them on calmly, and becomes a gentle and gorgeous gentleman again.

The countdown has already started, there is no time to be distracted, Chi Xiaochi cut off other thoughts and prepared to observe the situation.

Looking over, Chi Xiaochi frowned.

The eight people were in a huge, empty rectangular glass room of about a hundred square meters. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all made of transparent glass.

And Chi Xiaochi clearly remembered that the two waves of people walked into the same corridor.

...but they are not in the same room now.

To be precise, there is a thick glass curtain wall running from east to west, which divides the complete room into two from the central position,

Chi Xiaochi and the others are on the left, and Meng Gan and the others are on the right.

Qiao Yun was startled and said, "What's going on?"

Chi Xiaochi remembered that amidst the clown's laughter, he walked from the corridor into another dark corridor, surrounded by true silence, and the air was extremely smelly. He only held a piece of Gan Yu's clothes by his hand. Lead to the end of the corridor and go straight into a room.

Immediately, the heavy door slammed shut behind him.

Yuan Benshan said, "We entered the door at the end of the corridor."

Qiao Yun: "...there is no door at the end of the corridor. We found the entrance on the right hand side at the end of the corridor."

At this point in the exchange of information, Chi Xiaochi's heart became much clearer.

It seems that the clown deliberately divided them into two groups.

This is also one of the usual routines of escape from the secret room. The players participating in the game are divided into two groups, and certain obstacles are set up, so that the two groups of players can search for clues and find a way to leave the room and enter the next room by exchanging information.

Sure enough, after observation, a hole about 20 cm long and 10 cm wide was opened at the east end of the glass curtain wall, which was probably used by the two parties to transmit information.

Chi Xiaochi felt a little weird.

In general escape rooms, the walls in the middle are all solid bunkers, the purpose of which is to hinder the smooth communication between the two parties, thereby prolonging the game time.

The glass is completely transparent, so what is the significance of pulling up this curtain wall?

He wanted to investigate the glass wall, but as soon as he took a step, there was a creaking sound under his feet.

He immediately noticed something was wrong, the back of his neck went numb, and he immediately leaned forward and fell to the ground.

Meng Gan also felt something strange, and shouted: "No, don't stand up, get down!"

Gan Yu leaned down, touched the glass surface on the floor with his hand, bent his knuckles and knocked on it, his face was not very good-looking: "...It's not tempered glass."

This is just the most ordinary glass, just thicker than ordinary glass.If an adult man walks around on it, he will step on the floor if he is not careful.

"Remember what the clown said just now?" Meng Gan shouted, "We can't destroy anything here!"

The price of destruction, none of them want to try.

But he quickly figured out a way: "Men all get down and don't move. Women are responsible for finding clues."

Gan Tang acted according to the words, straightened his waist, moved as lightly as a cat, and began to look for clues to clear the level.

Chi Xiaochi, on the other hand, was lying on the ground with his feet upturned like a bastard, looking around, collecting information as much as possible.

The theme of this level was written on a wooden sign with colored paint, hanging on the door of the gate they had just entered.

The theme is called "The Man in the Crack", and below it is a crooked copy of "Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes" in children's round fonts:

A crooked person, walking a crooked path.

With a twisted sixpence in hand, step up the twisted steps.

Buy a crooked cat that catches a crooked mouse.

They lived together in a crooked hut.

What echoes this song is the silhouettes of countless villains inlaid in the transparent glass walls.

These small figures are like the handiwork of kindergarten children. They are folded out of cardboard, cut out with huge heads and slender bodies, and they hold small hands one by one.

As if... at any moment, he would approach with a song.

Chi Xiaochi tried to find out the corresponding number rules from the arrangement of the villains, but after many years of graduation, his knowledge of mathematics was returned to the teacher hundreds of years earlier.

He turned to Yuan Benshan for help: "Old Yuan, look at these people..."

"There is no pattern." Gan Yu on the side took up the words, "All the villains are not arranged according to any kind of sequence, and there is no special color. Some of the villains connected together exceed ten. As for the possibility of cipher numbers, I tend to think it's more of a hint."

Chi Xiaochi looked at him: "Or some kind of warning of danger."

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

This inexplicable sense of tacit understanding made Yuan Benshan, who had watched all this from the sidelines, very depressed.

He interrupted the two, and said forcefully: "Don't focus on studying the villain, it is very likely to be a disturbing factor."

Gan Yu also agreed with Yuan Benshan's statement: "There is a wooden cabinet in the corner. Tangtang, open it."

When Gan Tang stretched out his hand to open the cabinet, there was a sharp whistling sound inside and it exploded. Jia Siyuan, who was separated from them by a wall, was so frightened that he almost dropped the wall clock he took off from his hand.

What jumped out was a toy monkey with a strange face beating gongs and drums.

The drum under its hands was broken, and its eyes shot out mechanical purple light from time to time. Half of its face was painted off, revealing white wooden shards.

Every few drum beats, it makes a distorted high-pitched sound: "Only—oh, only—one chance."

Surrounded by the faceless people in silence, Meng Gan's forehead gradually became sweaty, and now he heard the harsh and strange sounds of toys resounding through the room, making him even more impatient.

"Shut that thing off!"

Gan Tang replied in a good-tempered manner, "I can't find the spring for it."

But she didn't throw away the obvious bluffing toy.

Time passed by, Meng Gan saw that she was only concentrating on holding a prop monkey, and couldn't help accusing him harshly: "That woman over there! ... Yes, it's you, don't look at the monkey, look for more!" Elsewhere! There are so many villains on the wall in your place, calculate the rules, why are you trying so hard to catch a distracting item?! Can you play, you rookie?!"

Gan Tang walked briskly to the glass curtain wall and showed him the toy in his hand.

Meng Gan took a closer look, his face felt as if he had been slapped, and he had a burning fever.

The inner surface of the monkey's broken drum is inlaid with a small mechanical dial with extremely exquisite workmanship. The hour and minute hands are now pointing to the twelve o'clock direction.

The monkey faced him and let out a treacherous squeal: "Only—one time, only—one chance."

Gan Tang didn't talk nonsense with Meng Gan, and turned to Qiao Yun and Jia Siyuan who were searching: "What did you find?"

Jia Siyuan raised the clock in his hand.

Half of the wall on their side was covered with clocks, some were broken, and some were running normally. The two of them were taking off the clocks one by one to see if there was any information hidden in the dial and the surface.

...But according to their way of finding things like a bear breaking a stick, they have to stay in this room for at least 20 minutes.

Chi Xiaochi looked sideways at the clocks that had not been removed from the wall, observed them one by one, and pointed at one of the clocks: "That one."

It is true that Jia Siyuan has no opinions, but he is obedient.

She took off the clock that was fixed at [-]:[-] as promised, and asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about this clock?"

Chi Xiaochi reminded her a little helplessly: "...a monkey."

…that clock is the only one with a cartoon of a monkey picking peaches printed on the dial.

Jia Siyuan stuck out his tongue embarrassingly: "Sorry. I... am not very good at this."

She hugged the watch near the glass curtain wall so that Gantang and the others could see the numbers on the surface more clearly.

Twenty past three, that's right.

Meng Gan had a panoramic view of Jia Siyuan's clumsy actions, and felt that he was really humiliated as the "captain", and his subordinates didn't want to compete with him, so he said coldly: "It seems that the puzzle is not difficult."

Gan Tang took off the hairpin from his temples, and carefully inserted it through the crack in the drum, preparing to adjust the pointer hidden inside the drum to [-]:[-].

The monkey's voice was as piercing as scratching a blackboard with its long fingernails, "Only—one time, only—one chance."

Gan Yu suddenly said, "Wait."

Gan Tang also stopped moving at the same time.

After the two looked at each other, Gan Tang nodded knowingly, and looked at Chi Xiaochi in a blink of an eye.

I don't know if it's because they have been brushing the secret room together for the past half month, Chi Xiaochi already understands what the brother and sister think without too much words.

He took a hundred-dollar bill out of his pocket.

Before coming in, the clown had asked them to put all the communication tools and tools capable of violent demolition outside, but the clown didn't care too much about some scattered small objects.

He handed the money to Gan Tang, and Gan Tang aimed the monkey's purple eyes at the coin.

Sure enough, a faint watermark appeared on the coin.

...Sure enough, there are traps.

Gan Tang walked to the medium-sized envelope-sized communication port at the east end of the glass curtain wall, and said to Jia Siyuan, "Please put the watch over and point the face at me."

Jia Siyuan complied in a daze.

Just when the dark purple light projected from the monkey's eyes shone through the communication port on the opposite dial, Jia Siyuan took a breath of air.

Contrary to the pointing of the pointer, two bloody pointers with mottled flesh appeared on the dial.

The blood pointer pointed exactly at 4:44.

And this is the real time.

No one knows what will happen if the clock is set the wrong time.

Of course, no one wants to test the consequences for themselves.

When Gan Tang accurately moved the minute hand to 44 minutes without shaking his hands, all eight people heard a faint mechanical roar.

"What's the sound?" Meng Gan happily got up half of his body from the ground, and asked, "Did the door open?"

"……no."

Xu Jiayi, who seldom expressed his opinion since he came in, said, "It's the wall that's moving."

His tone of voice was very flat, with a creepy smell.

And he was right.

The glass curtain wall in the middle was automatically divided into two, and began to move slowly to the two sides.

Meng Gan's face changed drastically: "Back! Back up quickly!!"

His emotions succeeded in motivating the timid Jia Siyuan, who backed away in panic while holding the bell, and almost fell into Xu Jiayi's arms.

Xu Jiayi picked her up, frowned and said, "Return what?"

He pointed to the glass curtain wall and said, "Isn't it already stopped?"

The huge glass curtain wall was originally two walls that were held together like magnets. Now they opened the mechanism in the monkey, and the two walls moved about ten centimeters to the two sides, extending a covenant inside. Passage for one person.

A small door was opened on the west curtain wall facing the communication port, which successfully opened up the two rooms and gave everyone a chance to explore the corridor.

Before everyone was happy, they realized that they had only taken a small step forward, and how to leave this room was still unknown.

There are few clues outside, and they have been explored almost, so it is imperative to enter this newly opened glass corridor.

Meng Gan felt that he had lost face just now, but he didn't dare to move easily, so he ordered Jia Siyuan to say: "You, go in and have a look."

Jia Siyuan let out an "ah" and cringed a bit: "I..."

Meng Gan said impatiently: "You are the thinnest here. Go in quickly."

This is not bad, Jia Siyuan is indeed too thin, like a hairtail, but he can handle it with ease, if Gan Tang goes in, he might get stuck in the slit.

Jia Siyuan was obedient as always, and walked into the extremely narrow glass corridor through the newly opened small door.

Holding on to the walls on both sides, she tentatively moved forward step by step, and her palms printed balls of sweat on the glass.

Meng Gan asked, "Did you see anything?"

Jia Siyuan shook his head: "No."

The corridor was empty, and the lights at the top were bright, illuminating everything clearly.

There are neither special marks nor items dropped here.

In just a few short steps, she walked in fear, looking back frequently, for fear that a little paper figure would come out from somewhere and tear her to pieces in this cramped place.

If she was attacked here, she would not even be able to escape.

She walked from the west end to the east end step by step with fear but in extreme stability.

Just when she walked under the communication window, a very soft electronic sound came from her ear.

"drop--"

A strange circular fluorescent device was automatically triggered under her feet.

Just when she stepped on this mechanism, two square fluorescent light circles also appeared on both sides of the glass curtain wall parallel to the window.

Jia Siyuan took a step back, and the circle of light disappeared.

It is a human body heat sensor device!

She yelled "Yeah", and looked at Qiao Yun and the others in surprise: "I, I found it!"

Yuan Benshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the answer: "It's a villain!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts proved that what Gan Yu said just now was right.

The villain on the wall is some kind of hint.

It requires a person to enter the glass channel to trigger the mechanism, and the people in the two divided rooms only need to follow the instructions of the mechanism, stand in the light circle, pass through the communication port on the wall, and imitate holding hands on the wall. The posture of a person should be able to trigger the next mechanism, even...

Open the next door!

What he thought of, everyone else thought of too.

Time was running out, Qiao Yun almost couldn't wait to stand on the right aperture, and motioned for Gan Tang to come over quickly.

Gan Tang stood up according to his words, but an electronic voice prompt sounded: "The weight is less than 55 kg, the weight is less than 55 kg. Please change, please change."

... Qiao Yun had a nasty look on her face, and she really wanted to kill the system.

Gan Tang could only leave with a little regret, and replaced Yuan Benshan who was closest to the communication window.

Yuan Benshan moved lightly to the center of the aperture, spreading his legs as far as possible to disperse his weight, for fear of crushing the floor.

When they tried it for the first time, they didn't hold hands, they just stood in the aperture, waiting for any changes.

Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Jia Siyuan in the glass corridor stretched out his hand and handed it to the people on both sides.

The three of them clasped their hands like little men on the wall.

And just after the three of them stood still for a moment, they heard the roar of the machine as they wished.

Jia Siyuan looked up.

The corridor divides the room evenly into left and right. She is at the east end of the corridor, holding hands with her companions.

And at the west end of the corridor, a gap is splitting from the center of the corridor, moving to both sides, like two slowly opening glass lips.

Jia Siyuan cried with joy: "It's done! We did it—huh?"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

In the next second, her voice was out of tune in panic: "The corridor... the corridor, is it getting narrower?"

The corridor, which was originally quite spacious for her figure, gradually shrunk with the opening of the opposite glass door, reaching her shoulders!

This ominous development made her turn pale and instinctively run away.

But as soon as her feet left the sensor's aperture, the door that had been opened a little bit closed again and suddenly closed!

What happened so suddenly, Chi Xiaochi, who was lying on the ground, was dumbfounded, but his heart suddenly brightened and became icy cold.

... Dead end!

...it's a downright dead end!

Seeing that the hope had come to an end, and the door of life was about to close again, Qiao Yun was so anxious that she didn't let go of Jia Siyuan's hand immediately.

But at this moment, the monkey beating the drum squealed again, laughing in a distorted childish voice: "Only—one time, only—one chance."

Qiao Yun's expression changed suddenly, and she subconsciously grabbed Jia Siyuan's hand!

Jia Siyuan couldn't break free, and when he turned around, his face was pale: "Xiaoyun! What are you doing!! Let go!"

And Yuan Benshan also failed to let go due to a sudden change.

Qiao Yun held onto Jia Siyuan's hand as hard as she could, and shouted at Yuan Benshan, "'Only one chance'! Don't you understand!? If she ran away, who would want to go in? Step on the mechanism and open the door for us?! Are you?"

Yuan Benshan's Adam's apple rolled up and down violently, without hesitation, he firmly wedged Jia Siyuan's hand, and even dragged her branch-like arm out of the communication port, turned it over, and pulled it down hard!

Jia Siyuan's arm hurt and he was dragged back to the original place.

The mechanism starts up again.

The corridor could no longer be entered, and Meng Gan crawled to the open door like a four-legged snake, and tried his best to stuff his arms and head into the small gap that was opened little by little. Xu Jiayi was also mutated by this. Startled, he looked back and forth, and chose to go up with Meng Gan, trying to open the door.

"Not enough! Not enough!"

Meng Gan tried to speed up the opening of the door with brute force, but the door remained motionless, only opening at the speed of the compressed corridor.

Everyone's door to life opened, and Jia Siyuan's door to death also opened accordingly.

In the corridor, Jia Siyuan's body was squeezed so that her shoulders were deformed. She screamed and kicked her feet desperately, but because she was too frightened and the space was limited, she couldn't use her strength at all.

She wailed: "Let go of me, please!! Please!!"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Gan Tang rushed forward and punched Yuan Benshan in the face.

However, Yuan Benshan's adrenaline surged violently at this time, and he forcibly withstood the punch.

He spit out the blood in his mouth, and continued to drag her arm with a bruised nose and face.

Gan Tang turned around and shouted, "Brother!!"

But Chi Xiaochi had already been one step ahead of them, rolled a few times, turned over to the open door, and together with Meng Gan, opened the door to both sides.

Gan Yu also came behind him and pushed the door together with him.

But none of them dared to exert too much force on their feet, for fear that they would directly crush the floor.

Chi Xiaochi's fingertips turned white from scratching, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, just to find a critical point.

Maybe it's okay, maybe it can be saved! !

Jia Siyuan rolled his eyes under the heavy pressure, his bones creaked and brittle, blood was bubbling from the corner of his mouth.

Gan Tang gritted his teeth and stared intently at Chi Xiaochi, waiting for his judgment on the situation.

Chi Xiaochi turned his head and shook his head at her.

The opening gap is too small!I can't even pass my head!

Seeing that Jia Siyuan was about to die, Gan Tang didn't think about it, and kicked the glass hard.

It should still be saved, it should be——

The glass is indeed fragile, and it shattered when kicked, but the glass wall suddenly accelerated at the moment of shattering, and stuck together!

After a scream, bright red meat sauce splashed out from the completely closed glass corridor, and two bloody arms fell straight from the hands of the two holding her to the ground.

She became a real "crack in the cracks".

There was even a complete handprint of sweat that she had just printed on the inside of the glass.

And Gan Tang couldn't help but fell to the ground.

The moment she raised her right leg and kicked the broken glass, her right leg also turned into glass and shattered to the ground.

... This is the penalty for destruction.

It took them 15 minutes to pass this level, as well as a human life and a team member's leg.

With such a mutation, all lose the ability to speak for a short period of time.

Only the monkey was still beating its broken drum, happily playing an elegy for the dead Jia Siyuan: "Only—one time, only—one chance."
