Nan Xiangwan had never played room escape games, but because he had read a lot of books, he had dabbled in suspenseful reasoning. Just like everything in the world has rules to be found, escape rooms also have their own routines. For example, when you see a lock, you have to find a way to open it. When you see a laser, you have to think about whether to use a mirror to reflect it. When you see a bunch of the same items, you have to think about whether you need to sort them.
In a sense, the escape room is very similar to the exam. They both find out the question in the complicated information, infer the intention of the person who made the question, and then mobilize their own knowledge to solve the question.
But no matter how well thought out, he was still a little confused after actually entering the game. Fortunately, Liu Yubai had a clear mind and quickly assigned tasks to everyone. Some were responsible for finding the exit on the wall, and some were responsible for looking through the furnishings to find clues. After finding the problem, two people stayed to solve the problem, and the other two continued to search for valuable things in the secret room.
The first two levels are very simple. It is nothing more than finding the pattern from a pile of numbers on the wall to open the combination lock, and put the tableware out of order back to its original position. One of the plates is equipped with a magnet, which can trigger the mechanism to open the door.
The third level is more troublesome, not only because the room is full of things, messy and confusing, but more importantly, the scene of this level is a vampire dungeon, all kinds of instruments of torture, blood, severed hands and feet can be seen as scalp Numb.
Under Liu Yubai's instruction, everyone dispersed to find clues.
Nan Xiangwan picked up a flashlight casually, tried to turn it on, and then took photos of other places, but found nothing special, so he put the flashlight back to its original place.
She was quickly attracted by a wooden sword. Is there any point in putting this sword here? Is it possible to trigger the mechanism by inserting it somewhere? Nan Xiangwan held the sword in one hand while looking for a small hole to insert it into.
Others were quietly researching clues, but Lin Xiaoran kept on rambling on, saying that the painting was strange for a while and didn't know what it meant, and then said that this torture device could sit on it? How about tying him up and trying, maybe something will happen. Nan Xiangwan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and concentrated on looking for a hole where he could insert the wooden sword.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoran would not let her go and come over to pull her. She turned her head impatiently, "Didn't you see that I was busy? You yourself..."
After seeing the appearance of the person behind him clearly, Nan Xiangwan's half-open mouth stopped immediately, his throat seemed to be choked suddenly, and he couldn't make a sound.
Because the person standing behind her was not Lin Xiaoran, but a vampire with a ferocious face, Nan Xiangwan's hairs stood on end in an instant, and he screamed belatedly.
At the same time, Chen Shiyun also screamed. She tried her best to open a box, but instead of the expected clue, a strangely smiling skeleton popped out.
Liu Yubai hurried over to check on her situation, unexpectedly only took two steps, and suddenly stretched out two hands with only bones left, and grabbed his ankle with incomparable precision. Liu Yubai cried out in fright and fell to the ground.
It turns out that there are many intentionally scary parts in this level. In addition to using props disguised as clues to clear the level to scare people, there are also clerks wearing hooded gloves to scare people.
After the clerk in charge of scaring left, everyone continued to look for clues. Lin Xiaoran didn't find anything of value, so bored, he picked up the flashlight that Nan Xiangwan had dropped earlier, and turned it on and off.
"Boring." Nan Xiangwan rolled his eyes at him, wanting to continue looking for a small hole into which the wooden sword could be inserted. Suddenly, she discovered an unusual phenomenon.
After turning on and off the flashlight in Lin Xiaoran's hand three times, the warm white light suddenly turned purple.
"Wait a minute, show me." She took the flashlight, turned on the purple color, and took a picture around the secret room, only to find that there was nothing visible to the naked eye. Those were the twenty buttons that Liu Yubai couldn't figure out after thinking hard. He tried many methods but failed to trigger the mechanism. Nan Xiangwan finally discovered the secret of the button with the help of the flashlight. It turns out that with a purple beam of light, you can find numbers written on each button.
Liu Yubai suddenly realized, "Just press the buttons in this numerical order to pass the level?"
"should be."
Nan Xiangwan asked Lin Xiaoran to hold the flashlight, and went over to press the buttons one by one.
Time passed by, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and wait for the result.
Sure enough, there was a sound above the head, followed by a "click", the mechanism was triggered! Nan Xiangwan jumped for a moment, and the next second, the ceiling opened, and a huge bat fell on Nan Xiangwan's head.
"..."
Another scary false clue.
Nan Xiangwan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
In desperation, everyone had to use the walkie-talkie to ask the clerk for help. Unexpectedly, the clue was as Lin Xiaoran guessed. It required a person to sit on the torture device, lock the iron chain, and light up the glass plate next to it through the conduction of the human body.
There were some strange symbols on the glass plate, all made up of dots and horizontal lines. Several people said in unison, "It's Morse code."
Others, while somewhat familiar with Morse code, were unsure how letters corresponded to codes.
Liu Yubai was the first to react, "Find the password book first."
"No need." Nan Xiangwan waved his hand, indicating that she could try it, "I have taken this course." The teacher of this course is extremely strict. During the final exam, the teachers of other elective courses will ask students to submit a report. Or open-book exams, only Morse code teachers not only require closed-book exams, but also require oral exams. The purpose of doing this is only one, that is, to let students memorize the code table.
The Morse code table looks complicated, but it is actually regular, so even if many years have passed, as long as you recall this law, you can memorize the complete code table.
Nan Xiangwan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought for a while. Soon, the letters and codes corresponded one by one in her mind. Nan Xiangwan didn't even need a pen and paper, and typed the code with confidence. However, a minute passed and nothing happened.
She decisively changed her mind, "Try English."
This time the mechanism finally opened. But what was opened was not the door, but a hole in the ground with a box inside. Everyone needed to get into the box and pass through the tunnel to enter the next secret room.
I don't know if there is a gravity sensing device under the box. The things inside must weigh more than 55 kilograms to move.
Chen Shiyun made a difficult mistake this time, "I don't have 55 kg." She won't be left here because of her lack of weight. Chen Shiyun glanced at Nan Xiangwan while talking. Probably because he was afraid that Nan Xiangwan would also be left behind.
"I… "
Before Nan Xiangwan could speak, Lin Xiaoran said first, "Don't look at her, she's definitely enough."
"..." Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but give him a hard look. Angry to angry, she quickly thought of a way and suggested to everyone: "I think the box is big enough, why don't I go with Chen Shiyun."
"Okay." Chen Shiyun nodded.
Several people quickly made a plan, Lin Xiaoran went over to check the situation there first, the two girls were in the middle, and Liu Yubai was in charge of the rear.
Although Nan Xiangwan didn't suffer from claustrophobia, it was still a bit uncomfortable to be put into a box with another person. Especially when the box was closed, there was darkness in front of my eyes, no matter how wide my eyes were, I couldn't find any light, and there was obviously enough air in the space, but it seemed that I was about to suffocate.
When the box was not moving, Nan Xiangwan wondered if the box was stuck. If it got stuck in the tunnel, wouldn't the box not open? When the box was moving, Nan Xiangwan wondered if the speed of the box would suddenly increase, what if it couldn't stop? What if you hit a wall? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her mind was full of bad thoughts.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by someone, it was Chen Shiyun.
"Are you afraid?" Chen Shiyun's sweet voice sounded, trembling imperceptibly.
"It's okay." Nan Xiangwan said so, but her voice betrayed her.
"Actually, I'm also quite scared. I knew I wouldn't come."
Nan Xiangwan also regretted it very much, especially the bat that suddenly fell on her head, which scared her so much that she would probably have nightmares these days.
Chen Shiyun added: "Did we know each other before? I always have a very familiar feeling when I look at you."
Nan Xiangwan smiled wryly, "How come..." Now they have nothing to do with each other. Although they were in the same class in the past, they were competitors with the same excellent grades, so they were not very familiar with each other.
At that time, she studied English hard under the stimulation of Chen Shiyun, and finally surpassed Chen Shiyun in an exam to take the first place in the whole grade. She was overjoyed and thought she could be proud in front of Chen Shiyun. Even the teacher was overjoyed, and used the two of them as an example when making sentences with English phrases, saying that since Nan Xiangwan worked hard to learn English, Chen Shiyun was no longer the number one.
She still remembers Chen Shiyun's expression when she heard this sentence. At that time, she might have felt a little happy, but now, she only has sympathy in her heart. Only when the same thing happened to her, can she realize what it means to be heartbroken.
In the dark, she couldn't see Chen Shiyun's expression clearly, but she could imagine her smiling. Chen Shiyun said: "Actually, I quite envy you."
"Envy me?" Nan Xiangwan asked in surprise, what is there for her to envy
Before she had time to ask, the box had already stopped. The lid opened quickly, and besides the light that he couldn't get used to for a while, there was also Lin Xiaoran's smiling face, "Come out quickly."
Chen Shiyun instinctively stretched out her hand, then seemed to realize something, and humbly said: "You go first."
Nan Xiangwan blushed, "You go first."
Lin Xiaoran smiled, "There's nothing to give in to, hurry up, Liu Yubai is still waiting."
Nan Xiangwan stood up and supported Lin Xiaoran to jump out. Chen Shiyun was afraid that she would fall, so she supported her from behind. After Nan Xiangwan came out, he pulled Chen Shiyun out together with Lin Xiaoran.
The four quickly assembled in the last secret room, where the vampire played by the staff issued the ultimate mission. Four people enter the four rooms respectively, and they can pass the level after solving the puzzles of the four rooms correctly. In addition, there is a strict time limit for this level. The ceiling will gradually move down over time, and players who fail to escape in the end will be "dead" below.
Hearing this sentence, everyone couldn't help but gasped. It was okay for everyone to decipher together before, but now they are separated and have to face the pressure of the ceiling, it is difficult to keep calm. No matter what happens now, you can only face it alone.
Fortunately, the sound insulation in the secret room is not good, and everyone can communicate with each other by shouting loudly.
Chen Shiyun was inspired by Liu Yubai to solve the puzzle. It turns out that there is a musical instrument in her secret room, and she needs to touch the instrument to make a sound through prompts. Chen Shiyun is good at dancing, but she is not familiar with music theory. Under Liu Yubai's guidance, she quickly mastered the rules and opened the lock in front of her smoothly.
In the secret room next to it, the things in front of Nan Xiangwan were very simple, a medicine bottle and a combination lock, which meant that the medicine bottle represented a series of numbers, but what exactly was it
Nan Xiangwan didn't panic, she tried every possibility step by step. The ceiling was already pressing on top of their heads, and everyone had to bend down, then change to a squatting position, and finally simply lie on the ground.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, Lin Xiaoran yelled, "Open it!"
Then, there was another sound of unlocking, and Liu Yubai's puzzle was also solved.
"Why hasn't the door been opened yet? Has anyone else unlocked it?"
When Lin Xiaoran's voice came, Nan Xiangwan didn't have time to answer. There was air conditioning in the secret room, but her face was covered with sweat. When she learned that other people's locks had been opened, her hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"Why not?" The ceiling was getting lower and lower, and Nan Xiangwan was about to collapse.
She tried the strokes and pinyin of the drug name, and the numbers represented by the chemical elements in the periodic table. She tried all the possibilities that came to her mind, but it still didn't work.
Is it necessary to use the exhaustive method? In normal times, Nan Xiangwan would not mind even using the most stupid method, as long as she could solve the problem, she would pay any price, but now, the ceiling that was so close at hand didn't give her this chance.
The ceiling finally stopped, and they failed to escape the secret room at the last moment, and the game was over.
The staff restored the ceiling, and the sweaty Nan Xiangwan turned over and lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Everything just now seemed like a dream, and Nan Xiangwan hadn't woken up from the dream yet.
Why, why is this happening. Why did everyone else figure it out, but she didn't. Where is the problem
"It's finally over." Chen Shiyun patted her chest like the rest of her life.
Lin Xiaoran and Liu Yubai exchanged puzzles, only Nan Xiangwan lay on the ground, motionless.
