Get teased by AI in escape game [Unlimited]

Opening the old and yellowed diary, the first thing Xu Yang saw was a pencil drawing with childish and cute lines.

Two round-headed little people stood side by side, one tall and one short.The two held hands, and under their feet, there were a few crooked short lines, which were counted as the ground.

Above the heads of the two villains, a square blue sun is drawn, and curly wavy lines are drawn around the sun with blue colored lead, symbolizing the radiating light.

He carefully observed the stick figure, frowned after a while, took out the photo he just obtained, and compared it.

The two villains in this painting should correspond to the man and the puppet in the frame.

"The boy with a childlike innocence, and his beloved...doll toys that may have some kind of problem?" Xu Yang frowned, and whispered the most obvious guess.

However, there was no prompt from the system related to the level of plot analysis.

Obviously, he guessed wrong.

Xu Yang pondered for a moment, then continued to turn backwards.

The content on the second page has changed a bit.

On this page, the black pencil outlines large and small wells, filling the entire page.In the nine-grid space divided by the tic-tac-toe, different numbers of "O" and "X" are drawn with red and blue colored pencils respectively.

"Tic-tac-toe..." Xu Yang guessed.

Tic-tac-toe is a simple chess game. Players against each other have to take turns making moves in a 3x3 grid, and the player who first connects three pieces to form a line in any direction, horizontally, vertically, or obliquely, wins.

In the lower right corner of the page, a series of small numbers "37-365" are written.

The thin man came to him at some point, and said in a low voice: "This page is tic-tac-toe, and there will be many different games in the future, and there is a tendency to become more and more complicated."

Hearing this, Xu Yang quickly turned the page backwards, and sure enough, he saw more and more different chess pieces, some of which he couldn't even recognize.

The immature and clumsy brushstrokes gradually become mature and sharp, and every time the pen is written, it begins to contain a casual and arrogant spirit.

At the same time, the number in the lower right corner is getting smaller and smaller.

Xu Yang stared at the row of numbers, and suddenly turned back to the first page of the diary, clenched the spine of the book with his left hand, held the edge of the page with his right hand, and flipped through dozens of pages in an instant.

The string of numbers, like flipping a book, instantly reflected changing images in his pupils.

+36-260

+36-245

+36-177

+35-364

……

+34-183

+34-76

……

Xu Yang: "A countdown calculated in terms of 'year-day'... the owner of the diary has been counting down one thing since the day he first learned how to use a paintbrush."

Possibly, earlier.

[Hidden plot analysis level: 6%]

He squinted—

This truth only accounts for 1%?

Then the hidden plot of this dungeon is too huge.

The thin man thought for a moment: "While counting down the clock, he drew different kinds of chess games. Is this kid trying to kill boredom? Or... counting the days when he grows up... Not right, 37 years is beyond adulthood." too long."

Yin Chi glanced at Xu Yang with a half-smile: "From the day he knew how to hold a paintbrush, he knew how to count down hundreds of digits of time. This is not like a child from an ordinary human family."

When Xu Yang heard this sentence, he felt something clamoring in his mind for a moment, ready to come out.

But something was missing.

"I've been thinking about what the 'Ark' in the title refers to." Xu Yang said in a low voice, and after a while, he looked up and glanced at the people in front of him, "What do you think?"

"The ark refers to 'Noah's Ark'. In the Bible, before the great flood, God asked Noah and his wife to build a boat. They took chickens, ducks and other animals, one male and one female, and various plants. put the seeds on the boat, so that they can wait for the day when the great flood passes, and return to the earth to multiply." The man with glasses suddenly said.

Xu Yang nodded, a little surprised that the man with glasses actually got involved, and continued following his train of thought:

"Indeed, the most well-known mythical 'Ark' is the Noah's Ark. But other than that, there are actually more than one kind of human ark. For example, in the primitive myths of many ethnic groups and regions in China, the great flood flooded the world. At that time, a human couple got into a half-floating gourd, survived, and multiplied the population..."

Wait... Gourd Ark?

Before the words came out, his body froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and took out his card again.

【Chessboard Number: #03】

【Construction value: 87】

[Identity: Phase]

It seems that the last time he checked the card, the original construction value was -15?

What happened to it to increase its construction value so much in a short period of time?

Could it be because... With the increase of dead players in the dungeon, "fuel" also increased?

Xu Yang took a breath, and murmured: "So, this chessboard, maybe it's...a chessboard ark?"

[Hidden plot analysis level: 9%]

"Chessboard... Ark?" The man with glasses chewed these words carefully.

Xu Yang nodded.

In this way, the different grids they have experienced can also be explained.

In each grid that I stepped on just now, there are different geographical features of mountains and rivers, and various creatures are active, as if they were artificially preserved to maintain the geographical diversity on this "ark".

If the concept of the chessboard ark is anchored, then he can almost immediately determine where they are at this moment.

——In the historical process of this dungeon, the world has come to the end.

Therefore, it can be used as a bridge to completely connect the red envelope dungeon world with the real world he lives in.

"In this way, the reason why the owner of the diary has been counting down is that he is waiting... for the day when the end of the world will come? He has been imagining what the final ark will look like?" The thin man immediately thought of the answer.

The second he spoke, a reminder popped up in front of Xu Yang——

[Hidden plot analysis level: 10%]

Po Gong's voice was staggering, he turned his head to stare at the smiling man in the photo, took a breath, and sighed: "Tsk, this brother has been unfathomable since he was a child."

Xu Yang frowned when he heard the words, glanced back and forth between the man and the puppet, and answered absently: "Maybe."

There were still other doubts in his mind.

Although it was confirmed that the chessboard was an ark, so far, he had not seen any living people from this world in the ark.

—Except for the weird old man who was imprisoned in the prison cell.

However, he was alone, and his age was approaching the end of his life, so he obviously didn't have the ability to reproduce that human couples should have in any of the "Ark" myths.

So, what is the significance of this ark?

No, it seems to be thinking too far.

Xu Yang immediately pulled back his overly divergent thoughts.

As a matter of urgency, they must first reach the correct target point and complete the main content.

He closed his eyes and recalled the road sign he had carried on his shoulders when he landed, and was followed by the bearded and the others.

The road sign is probably also a team flag that can be formed, but it has an additional function to indicate the direction.

The direction it pointed was [-] or [-] degrees oblique to the direction he was traveling.

That should be exactly the center of the board.

They are not far from there.

The faint light brightened up little by little, reflecting the snow-white walls blue.

Two familiar dice hang coldly and mercilessly above the white space.

It obviously looks higher than the ceiling, but it covers the closer white ceiling, which is strangely and completely presented in everyone's field of vision.

"Ah—it's time to roll the dice again." Po Gong screamed in a miserable voice.

The thin man's cheeks twitched, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand: "Understood, don't howl."

——【Please roll the dice!Let's go now. 】

Xu Yang took a step forward.

He turned around, exchanged glances with the four people solemnly, and after seeing them nodding one by one, he looked up at the dice.

"Throwing." He opened his lips and whispered.

[It has been detected that you have a prop [a small regiment flag], have you selected your teammates and threw them together? 】

【Yes. 】

He quickly framed several teammates around him.

The two dice spun simultaneously at high speed.

Xu Yang pursed his lips, took a deep breath, took out the [Lucky Rat] from the inventory, and squeezed its tail.

"Squeak—" the squirrel gritted its teeth, showing two neat front teeth, and bit Xu Yang fiercely.

[Do you want to pray to [Rat of Luck] for a chance to get closer to the right direction? 】

This time, Xu Yang didn't have any hesitation.

【Yes. 】

[Please confirm again!After the confirmation is successful, you and the [Lucky Rat] will become an endless hostile relationship~]

【confirm. 】

The next moment, the little mouse in his hand seemed to sense something, curled up, and stiffened into a small stone, with familiar ripples rippling again.

As the ripples spread layer by layer, the four-sided dice slowly stopped.

On the triangular face facing them, [North] is engraved.

——【North】【Six】

——【Please set off immediately! 】

When this prompt came out, Xu Yang waited quietly for a while.

With the disappearance of the air ripples, the tuxedo squirrel in his hand twisted its body and grew a little bit bigger.

Soon, it returned to the height of more than two meters when it was first seen, and its two hind legs landed firmly on the ground, standing upright like a human.

"Hey! It turns out! So it's that stinky mouse! I just said why the clothes look so familiar..." Po Gong's voice suddenly realized.

It turns out that the lucky mouse has been running to each grid of the chessboard to check its "spare fuel" like patrolling the territory.

All players have seen it.

No one thought that this huge mouse was a key prop to reverse the direction of travel...

"I still need to confirm one thing." Xu Yang said in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" The thin man asked seriously.

Xu Yang shook his head.

"Squeak—Xu Yang! You! You will definitely die in my hands later!" The squirrel turned around, its furry cheeks were close to Xu Yang, its cheek pouches were bulging, and the muscles on its face were twisted and deformed, with a vicious look on it. .

"I'm looking forward to it." Seeing the way it was jumping, Xu Yang showed a polite smile: "But, aren't you in a hurry? It's already too late, right?"

"Squeak!!!—" The squirrel seemed to react suddenly, screamed, landed on all fours, turned around and jumped out toward the north.

Visually, it seems as if it is about to hit the white wall.

Xu Yang didn't move, but squeezed the things in his hands tightly.

The squirrel didn't notice that the end of its tail was still pinched in someone else's hand, and the movement was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

When Yin Chi saw this scene clearly, his face darkened instantly.

Xu Yang felt a great pulling force coming from his hand.

Even his strengthened body after going through two dungeons is still difficult to control.

His whole body was driven by that pulling force, and he slammed into the white wall in front of him.

The mouse's huge body has already penetrated the white wall, and disappeared outside the pure white space, obviously going to another grid.

——It can do this, but it doesn't mean that Xu Yang's body can also pass through this way.

Too bad, it seems like he shouldn't have done such a risky thing.

Seeing the white wall rapidly approaching, Xu Yang felt a rare feeling of regret in a thousand years in his heart.

After a moment, he heard a slight sigh.

The voice was very familiar, with a warm breath, gently brushing over the top of his head.

The next second, his hand was covered by another big warm hand.

Yin Chi moved in front of him at some point, grasped the rat tail he was holding, and exerted a huge and ingenious force with his palm to resolve the rapid pulling force, allowing the end of the rat tail to stay in place smoothly.

His legs stood firmly on the ground, and his breathing was not disturbed at all.

Quietly--

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Click, click——

A crisp cracking sound resounded from the palm of his hand.

The squirrel kept moving forward quickly. Although the whole mouse ran away, a small piece of its tail remained in the hands of Xu Yang and Yin Chi.

Yin Chi waited for Xu Yang to stabilize his figure, paused for a moment, and then slowly let go.

"Thank you." Xu Yang smiled at him, looking down at the rat tail in his palm.

There was no blood gushing out from the break.

Instead, there are a few dull metallic reflections.

"Machine, robot mouse? How many... Doraemons?" Po Gong looked at the half of the thing in Xu Yang's hand with his broken voice, and scratched his head in confusion.

I saw that under the soft and delicate silicone skin covered with gray fluff, densely packed mechanical parts.

Xu Yang tentatively stuffed the tail into the inventory and read its information.

Item Name: [Useless Docked Tail]

Item function: no

Item description: Useless thing, but it seems to barely reveal some kind of truth?

Xu Yang sighed softly.

Yes ah, but really reluctantly.

However, the information he needs to verify is enough.

The blue dice seemed to become more impatient seeing that everyone hadn't acted for a long time, and flickered frequently to urge them.

- Six steps.

Xu Yang, Yin Chi and the thin man walked six steps towards the north.

Every time you take a step, the temperature around your body, the speed of the wind, and even the light reflected in your eyes will undergo earth-shaking changes.Although Xu Yang has seen it many times, a strange feeling will still sprout in his heart.

In the last second, they were on the island in the middle of the lake with lush water and grass, and the breeze was blowing, and fish and shrimps were jumping in the waves under the sun;

It's hard to imagine what kind of world this is, so many scenery can be collected on a chessboard, and you can reach it just by rolling the dice.

If you put it in reality, it must be a famous scenic spot crowded with people every day.

Xu Yang's thoughts were wandering wildly, while counting the steps under his feet.

When the sixth step fell, the light went out, and they suddenly fell into darkness.

"Wow, what's going on?" the broken gong exclaimed.

[Congratulations on successfully reaching the center of the chessboard!Bonus points +20. 】

【Please remember your board number: #03】

There was a soft click, and the light illuminated the small space. Xu Yang found that the five of them were standing in a transparent elevator, with a light blue glass plate under their feet, which was so transparent that they could see the sky below them.

The elevator ascended rapidly, and the scenery under the feet gradually became smaller.

They gradually saw the whole picture of the chessboard.

A pair of 19*19 Go chess boards exuding light blue light, engraved in the mid-air of the gray city, with a thick golden line on the outermost edge.

The gentle man pushed his glasses, and looked at Xu Yang without leaving any traces: "Indeed...it's a Go board..."

Po Gong covered his heart with his throat: "I'm really afraid of heights for this broken dungeon."

The thin man supported him speechlessly, and patted his vest.

Xu Yang stood on the edge of the elevator, looking down at the chessboard and the city below with a blank expression.

It seems that nothing is thinking.

After a while, he felt a tall figure walking over and standing beside him.
