Be the king in the infinite escape game

[We have each other. 】

Seeing this line of words, Gu Runan frowned - the intimacy revealed in these words is a bit too much to describe parents, relatives and friends.

I am afraid that such an inseparable relationship can only exist between twins, lovers, or different personalities of the same person.

Could it be that the person who wrote this sentence was Tao Baimeng's brother who had never appeared before?Or, is it some paranoid personality of his?

If it’s the elder brother, it’s easy to deal with, just look for him later, but if it’s the personality, it’s not easy, because now Tao Baimeng’s personality has been replaced by a few of them, and the original personality is probably gone.

Gu Runan felt that his mind was a little confused, shook his head, and focused on the matter in front of him - he had to put the photos back in place, and then look for clues to the next step.

He stitched the pieces of winter into the frame, and four photos filled the board.The next moment, the nails on the right side of the photo frame loosened and fell off with a jingle, and the nails on the other side could not bear the weight of the photo frame, and the whole board fell down.

A complete floor plan of Tao’s house layout is revealed on the interlayer of wooden boards, which is the professional one drawn by the designer.There is also an iron key with the words "Attic chimney cap" on white cloth tape.

So the key corresponds to the chimney cap in the attic?

Gu Runan carefully studied the floor plan of Tao's house: the first floor of Tao's house has living room, dining room, Tao Baimeng's room, Tao's parents' room, bathroom, kitchen, and balcony.Except for Tao Baimeng's room and Tao's parents' room, Gu Runan can reach all others.

On the wall in the middle of the living room of "Winter World", a new fireplace was built, and the attic is directly above the fireplace.

Why don't you go to the attic and have a look.Gu Runan walked towards the side stairs, and noticed Meng Liushen's long hook made of umbrella handles and clothes poles by the seats in the restaurant.

I don't know if I can use it later, so I just hold it and forget it. Gu Runan picked it up, and it was quite convenient.

As Meng Jingshui said, the attic was really dusty, and once he entered, his throat would itch, and Gu Runan was so choked that he just wanted to cough.The sloping roof compresses more than half of the height and space. It is only suitable for children to play here, and it is difficult for adults to straighten their bodies.

Gu Runan saw the protruding wall mentioned by Meng Jingshui, but it was actually not a red brick, but a pasted wallpaper. Behind the wallpaper was actually a cold iron door with an iron lock hanging on it.

Gu Runan unlocked the lock with a key and pulled open the iron door.Perhaps because the fireplace had just been repaired and hadn't been used a few times, it didn't smell like smoke.This is the pipe of the chimney, leading up to the roof of Tao's house.The waste gas in the fireplace rises from here and is then discharged.

This decoration style is a bit like the European Middle Ages, it is not environmentally friendly, and it can even be said to be backward.He thought that a family like the Tao family would definitely install some kind of gas purifier and put it at the chimney.

However, the cyberpunk world has already been seriously polluted. Maybe everyone has broken their jars and don't care about what is polluted or not.

What message is in this chimney?

Gu Runan poked his head in to have a look, but at first he saw nothing, but after searching for a long time, he finally found something shining on the chimney wall, which looked like another key.

How do you put the key in such a hidden place, is it just to prank people?

Gu Runan thought: Is this thing going to be hooked with a long hook?

Gu Runan stretched down the long hook and tried his best to catch it, but the length of the long hook was just enough to touch it, and he had to go down a little more to hook it.

But his body was already tilted at a big angle, half of his body was in the chimney, and if he went down, he would lose his center of gravity and fall down.

He straightened his body, gritted his teeth and picked it down hard, but the key was disobedient and fell down together with the long hook.

Gu Runan subconsciously felt that there was a mistake: it's over!Now the key is gone!But suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he remembered the layout drawn in the floor plan.

yes!Under the chimney pipe in the attic is the fireplace!Now there is no fire in the fireplace, just go down and get it!

Gu Runan ran down again, making heavy noises on the wooden side stairs, and sure enough, she saw the long hook and the fallen key in the fireplace.

I was dumbfounded in the barrage:

[This design is too mean (mean)! 】

[Who is the designer, let's discuss who would hide the keys of his house in such a corner? (pat the table)

[Don't use your own thinking to compare with those who are neurotic hhh]

[First of all, I can't think of how to make a long hook to touch it, and secondly, I don't know where to get the key if it is dropped. 】

【I just lie in the room and wait for my teammates to work hard】

[Taking advantage of the spatial relationship between the upper and lower floors, the fireplace only appears in winter, which is actually quite wonderful]

Gu Runan picked up the key and took a look, it was marked with Tao Baimeng's bedroom key.

Finally touched the core area, Gu Runan sighed.He has always thought about how to leave this house, the most likely way is to open the combination lock at the door.

It is not a fingerprint lock or a face-swiping lock. You must enter a 6-digit password correctly to open the door and leave.But apart from the clock, there are no other places with numbers in this living room, and the time of the clock keeps changing, so it is obviously impossible to use it as a password.

Therefore, to unlock the door, one must know the relevant information of the little master Tao Baimeng, such as ID number, student number, date of birth and other numbers.

This kind of information must be searched in Tao Baimeng's personal belongings. Although it is wrong to search other people's things, this is just a copy game, there is no escape, and life is at stake. He doesn't care about being polite or impolite.

Gu Runan opened the door with the key and went in. The inside was cleaned very cleanly, and there was even a strong fragrance of flowers.

He walked to the bed and saw a pot of purple hyacinths on the bedside table. The smell was so offensive that even he, who was not allergic to pollen, couldn't help sneezing.

Hyacinth is a kind of flower that most people can't resist, and its fragrance is like some people's crazy and paranoid love.

A brief introduction was posted on the flowerpot:

[Purple hyacinth flower language: apology, jealousy, melancholy love. 】

Apologize?Who does Tao Baimeng need to apologize to?From the beginning to the end, it seemed that he was the more miserable one, and it should be others who apologized to him.

Did he mean to say that he was sorry for his parents?But he didn't get sick on purpose.

Gu Runan put the flowers down and started looking through the drawers.

There is a photo album on the upper level of the drawer. On the first page is a cute little boy lying on the bed. It says:

[Baiye Era, May 18747, 5, our baby son was born!I hope Tao Baimeng children can grow up healthily and be happy every day!As parents, we don't ask him to do a big career, we just hope he can find someone who loves him wholeheartedly.When we are gone, someone can replace us and take good care of him. 】

May 18747, 5, Tao Baimeng's birthday.Gu Runan memorized this string of numbers, and said "15" over and over again, afraid that he would forget, ran to the code lock outside, and pressed the six-digit number 18747515.

However, the system issued two ear-piercing warnings, and the red text displayed [Password input error, remaining attempts: two times.If the input is still incorrect three times, the machine will sleep for 24 hours. 】

The 24 hours here should refer to the time in the dream world, not the real app time, which is a day in the dream.Although it was within an acceptable range, Gu Runan still wanted to succeed as soon as possible.

He went back to the bedroom and continued to flip through the photos, trying to find other clues from them.

In the back are some photos of Tao Baimeng winning awards, participating in volunteer activities, and charity bazaars, just like those in the living room.Tao Baimeng really invented many useful things, such as a constant temperature incubator, where frog eggs can be put in, and frogs can pop out after a few weeks; there is also a vegetable nutrition hydroponic device, where peanuts, mung beans, peanuts and other seeds are put in , or rhizomes such as cabbage bang, which can grow gratifying vegetables in a few days; he even has a technical essay on artificial wombs.

Unlike those cyberpunk products that use machinery to replace life, Tao Baimeng has the opposite idea of ​​invention.All his inventions bred life from machinery, and it can be seen that he has an extraordinary love for life and tenderness for species.

Consistent with his gentle and kind appearance, Tao Baimeng's personality is like a little angel when he is in a normal state.

There are also some photos of him and his parents, all of which stayed in childhood, and later his parents died, and he was the only one left.

Turning to the last page, a strange face appeared.

In the photo, Tao Baimeng is holding hands and smiling shyly. On the other side, there is a boy half a head taller than him, standing close to him.High nose, thin lips.The eyes are full of indifference, but there is a smile on the corner of the mouth.

Under the photo was written: [Brother Chu and I];

Brother Chu?This is Tao Baimeng's brother?

What is his name?Tao Baichu? "Meng" and "Chu" both start with the prefix Lin and have the same radicals, which fits the characteristics of the names of rich children.

But at the same time, a nerve in Gu Runan's brain jumped sharply. He recalled that when he first entered White Night City, the chaebol who used a crane to cover up the ruins of the city seemed to be called the Chu Group, right? ?

What does the Chu family have to do with this brother Chu?

If the Tao family really had two children, why is there only a photo of Tao Baimeng on the first page, and Tao Baichu never appeared?

The two don't look like twins, and their facial features don't even look like brothers.Gu Runan felt that the relationship between the two of them was more like friends.

He continued to rummage, and found a box in the lower drawer.

On the front of the box, there are two buttons on the left and right. The left button says "Dream" and the right button says "Chu".

There is an instruction on the box: "Press the right button to open the box mechanism, and press the wrong button to risk injury."

Which one should I press?The name was written on it, and Gu Runan guessed that it was the memory of Tao Baimeng and Tao Baichu (let's call him that) who used to play with toys.

The one with the word "Dream" must have been the button that Tao Baimeng pressed at that time, and the one with the word "Chu" was the button that Tao Baichu had pressed at that time.

This kind of toy is actually very common. It is the same as guessing the rope. Guess the right switch, and you will be punished if you guess wrong.

For some reason, Gu Runan always felt that this Tao Baichu would not hurt Tao Baimeng. He pressed the button with the word "Meng" written on it, and the mechanism opened safely.

As soon as the box was opened, Gu Runan saw something on the other side, and his temple twitched: under the switch on the right was an extremely sharp thick iron mousetrap.

If he presses it wrong, the mousetrap will pop out and pinch his hand, maybe the bones of his hand will be broken off, not to mention whether the flesh on the back of the hand will be stabbed and bloody.

Who invented this toy?Isn't it dangerous for children to play with it?

On this side of the box, Gu Runan found another note.

[The bad uncle locked me up.I feel a new "I" appearing in my brain.I have intermittent memory loss and often "wake up" suddenly while cleaning, and I can't remember how I got there.Now, I only wake up one day a week, and the rest of the time I don't know what I'm doing, and I think some other "me" is waking up instead of me.

Today is Saturday.The bad uncle asked me to write to my parents, asking them to redeem me with money. I said my mother was dead and my father was performing magic tricks on tour. He didn’t believe me. He said lying was not a good boy, and he wanted to punish me.

He took a toy for me to play with Chu, I was very scared, I didn't want my hand to be pinched.Chu asked me to press the one on the left, and he pressed the one on the right.He guessed really accurately, the one I pressed was really not in danger, but his hand was bleeding a lot because of my injury.

Chu didn't blame me, he even touched my head and asked me if I was scared, he was so kind.I asked what his birthday was, and he said he was born on April 4st, more than a month older than me, and asked me to call him brother.

Did I have a new friend? 】

Gu Runan understood, the two children met when they were kidnapped, they were probably both sons of a rich family, the two of them saw their true feelings through adversity, and became friends because of a game.And this young master Chu is very manly, so he blocked it for Tao Baimeng.

Tao Baimeng had split personality disease before, and his condition worsened after being kidnapped, and Saturday—that is, the one he is playing now, is his master personality.

Chu's birthday, April 4st.

Gu Runan ran to the door and tried "470401", but the password was still wrong.

He rubbed his chin, looked sideways at the clock, there were 2 minutes left before he fell asleep.

There is only one last chance left for the combination lock, how about taking a gamble?Combine their birthdays together?

Gu Runan took a deep breath, and slowly pressed the button:

【940916】
