Oral period

The escape room that was entrusted and invited them to go is indeed a horror theme. There are no real NPCs. The background story revolves around the souls who died of hatred. It is composed of three rooms separated by screens. When you open the door, you will see the first room. It looks the same.

Xia Jingzhe was hiding something in his heart, and he didn't feel terrible when the staff led him in. He lowered his eyes and remained expressionless. He didn't turn back until the door behind him was closed and the commentary mixed with crying sounded on the radio. Suddenly, he took a step back subconsciously and bumped into Zhenxiao.

"I didn't respond for a long time, I thought you had a sex change." Zhen Xiao supported him, teasing with a half-smile.

Xia Jingzhe took a deep breath and managed to stabilize his mind, but his hand was still clasped on his shoulder, refusing to let go like grabbing a life-saving straw.

There was some pain, but Zhen Xiao didn't notice it. After adapting to the dim light in the room, she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked around, and found the jewelry box that the previous staff reminded them to explore first.

There is a bronze mirror on the top of the box, and the other hangs far away in the corner of the ceiling, and they were given a lamp with the function of a flashlight before entering the door... If you guessed correctly, it is probably using the principle of reflection to illuminate the two mirrors at the same time When it arrives, the jewelry box will open.

There is a person hanging on his body, and Zhen Xiao is not in a hurry to try it, thinking aimlessly "why the game with the background of the ancient house is decrypted with a flashlight", his thoughts turned, and he went back to Xia Jingzhe's sentence last night "in that environment "Being alone is good for cultivating relationships."

It does fit well.He looked at the person who was clinging to him to adjust his breathing, curled the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly, and thought silently.

After all, the decryption was done by the students themselves. The plot was not perfect, and the quality of the dubbing was also low. In addition, Xia Jingzhe was so frightened that he lost his mind. After listening to it for a long time, Xia Jingzhe didn't understand what the plot was. House, it seems that ghosts will come out at any time.

"There are no real NPCs, and there is no scary link, but the arrangement is horrible." Zhen Xiao seemed to understand what he was thinking, and comforted him at the right time, "I'm afraid I'll just sit here and let me go for a walk?"

He was referring to a wooden chair at the door. Xia Jingzhe glanced at it, and happened to meet the portrait behind the chair. Looking at the white-eyed female ghost in the painting, she shivered, and couldn't help but swear.

This time Zhenxiao really didn't want to tease him, but simply didn't see it—he got a paw at himself, and he couldn't complain, so he turned the light to the other side, and changed the subject: "Do you think there is surveillance here?"

Xia Jingzhe was still a little startled, closed his eyes tightly, and took two seconds to understand his words: "...Yes."

"Then people have seen your appearance now," Zhen Xiao touched the hand on his shoulder, pointing out, "Aren't you afraid of embarrassment?"

The female ghost's inhuman face was still recurring in his mind, Xia Jingzhe stuck to him, it was the first time that he hated his imagination so much, the word "shame" only had time to shake, before being swallowed up by more real fear - "It doesn't matter..."

Zhen Xiao couldn't help laughing, she didn't have the position to reach out to hug him, so she could only stroke his hair, and then asked if she wasn't going forward.

"If you go forward, I should be able to take you out within 10 minutes, but if you keep stopping here... I heard that if you take too long, you will be punished. I don't know—well, it hurts."

Xia Jingzhe was really afraid of these gods and ghosts, and when he noticed the teasing in his words, he became a little furious, and subconsciously pinched his arm, and refused to let go after grabbing it, as if he was clinging to someone's arm and acting coquettishly— —Zhen Xiao was agitated by her own imagination, and her heart softened, and her tone became gentle: "Stop making trouble, let's go."

Being held on the shoulder with one hand, and the arm with the other hand, close to each other... This posture is actually very similar to a hug, so much so that when Xia Jingzhe let go of her hand, Zhenxiao was still subtly lost for a second.

He really wanted to ask, "Do I need to lead you?", but he was afraid of revealing the clues. In the end, he just silently picked up the lamp, switched to flashlight mode, and illuminated the two mirrors according to his previous guess—the next second jewelry The box opened in response, and an old-fashioned brass key popped out, held by a hand-shaped bone model. He took out the key and closed the jewelry box again before Xia Jingzhe saw it.

Some plot seemed to be triggered, and the background music became noisy, and a woman's cry came.

Probably found material from the Internet, crying and talking are not well integrated, it is much easier to distinguish than before, Zhen Xiao listened intently to the woman's cry, and soon noticed the hidden location information, followed the clues After looking around, there are indeed two low cabinets in the two obliquely opposite corners of the room.

"Choose one of the two. If you open it correctly, you can get the key clues, and if you open it wrong, you will be punished," he turned to Xia Jingzhe, and said softly, "I can't tell, which one is the southeast corner?"

Xia Jingzhe lowered her head, her lips were tightly pursed, and she still looked anxious, but her face looked much better. Hearing this, she thought for a moment, then pointed to the corner near her: "This way."

"You know that too?" Zhen Xiao wanted to talk to him.

"Sense of direction," Xia Jingzhe stood on the spot, watching him go to the cabinet and squat down, inserting the key in the dim light, recalling the expression on the man when he stuffed the lamp into his hand not long ago, his heart moved, and suddenly felt The surrounding darkness is not so scary anymore, "How much longer do you think...?"

Sure enough, he was pointing in the right direction. Zhen Xiao took out a book from the open low cabinet, ignored the unidentified object that was implicated and rolled out, walked to him, and flipped through the notebook he got page by page: "It should be This room has finally been deciphered—it seems to be the protagonist’s diary, and these symbols correspond to those on the wall, wait a minute, I’ll go and have a look.”

Xia Jingzhe was holding the lamp, but he couldn't draw much comfort from the dim cold light. Seeing that he was going to follow up subconsciously, he staggered, as if he was tripped by something, and his balance was unstable in a panic. This time, he threw himself on Zhenxiao in embarrassment.

It was a rare opportunity to laugh at him severely, but Zhen Xiao looked surprisingly calm, patient almost gentle, kept his "backstab" posture and looked down, reassuringly said: "It's just a wire, don't be afraid."

"...Who's scared, I just didn't see it."

Even though he was trembling with his breathing, he still wanted to die—Zixiao didn’t let go, quietly waiting for the person behind him to let go of his hand, and calmly took him by the hem of his clothes. He felt that this scene seemed familiar. For some reason, she clings to Xia Jingzhe, following every step and refusing to let go.

But at that time, he was probably pretending, but now the other party's fingers are cold, it can be seen that he is really frightened.

He took the people two steps forward, looked at the pattern on the wall, translated it into a series of numbers according to the explanation in the diary, added, subtracted and subtracted according to the prompts, and finally obtained the final code—the box with the code lock is in the corner , he raised his hand to input one by one, and after a short pause, the lid of the box popped open with a "click", and there was indeed a house key inside.

Xia Jingzhe came over and took a look: "You're pretty good."

Zhen Xiao has actually heard a lot of similar affirmations, but for some reason, Xia Jingzhe said the same words, which seemed to be more pleasant, and even gave him a fresh desire to show off: "Yes, I took the exam for three years. No. [-] in the whole school, in No. [-] Middle School."

"Give some sunshine and it will be brilliant..." Xia Jingzhe didn't feel sour as he said the words on his mouth - as a mid-level bastard who had never been first in any exams when he grew up, such a result was too much for him. It's too far away, not to mention that Zhenxiao's score is not only related to talent, but also the result of being harshly demanded by his biological mother for decades. Sometimes he even feels that if this person is not so smart, maybe he can't get used to his fucking neurotic problems , will not be sent to the hospital because of a ridiculous score of 148, and life may be very different...

"What are you thinking about?" Zhen Xiao figured out the way to open the door, and turned to see him with a calm face. Not only did he not panic, but he was engrossed in his thoughts, a little surprised, "Come here, we want to cooperate here, do you want to insert the key or pull the spring?" ?”

Xia Jingzhe looked up blankly: "What do you mean?"

"It means that there are upper and lower keyholes here." Zhen Xiao pointed to the lower third of the door, and then pointed to the center of the door. "The wooden block in front of the keyhole can be removed, but there is a spring. Once you let go, it will reset, that is, it will return to zero. If I am not mistaken, the number and order of inserting the keys in these two lockholes are specific, corresponding to the number of people in the photo on the wall behind you...Forget it, don’t look back Now, you'd be scared—in general, it's going to be someone pulling two pieces of wood to keep it from coming back together, and another guy picking the locks in sequence, get it?"

Xia Jingzhe frowned slightly, and looked at him with a complicated expression: "You...have you read the script in advance?"

"Do I seem to like talking to strangers?" Zhen Xiao smiled, taking it as a compliment, "The hints given are obvious, and there is no redundant information. If it's not a horror theme, it's the same for you to explain."

Maybe it's because I've been here for a long time, and maybe the stern background sound hasn't sounded for a long time. Xia Jingzhe gradually adapted to the surrounding environment. Hearing the words, he nodded suspiciously, let go of the hand that had been holding his clothes, walked to the door, and pushed the door away. The two blocking blocks: "Then you open the door."

It's just that he forgot a word called the calm before the storm.

The long metal key was inserted into the lock hole, and there was a tooth-piercing sound as it was turned. He watched Zhen Xiao alternately turn three or four times between the two lock holes until the latch popped open, and the door opened a crack. Before he let go of his stiff fingers, before he could say anything, a bad premonition suddenly crossed his mind.

Some people can perceive the subtle changes around them, and then perceive the imminent danger, such as the stick or other things that will fall on them in the next second - Xia Jingzhe just belongs to this type of people, but the accidents happen too fast, even if there is From what he perceived, he only had time to take a step back by grabbing Zhenxiao, but failed to hold the open door.

In the next second, something fell on its head. It was soft and its hair was tangled. It was vaguely a simulated "corpse".

The author says:

I don't know much about the secret room, so I wrote it casually based on my imagination. Any similarities are purely coincidental. If there are bugs, please discuss them.

But in reality, there shouldn't be such a simple decryption, right...

Let me emphasize that there are no ghosts in the world, I hope everyone will not have nightmares (like me because I watched horror movies)!Good night.
