Seeing such an image and hearing such a sentence, Lin You immediately understood what she was facing.
Chainsaw horror.
When it comes to this, we have to mention "jigsaw".
Movies have always revolved around him and his disciples, and "Jigsaw" is naturally the soul of this series.
His real name was John, and he had a happy and prosperous life. But since his wife had a miscarriage in an accident, he was also diagnosed with cancer, and the insurance company refused to insure him during the treatment.
It was full of hopeless unsatisfaction. The elderly man wanted to commit suicide in despair, but he survived the fatal injury by accident. So, John deeply felt that this was the choice of fate, and he began to choose those who he considered guilty or disregarded life to participate in his game.
—or rather, trials.
Regardless of this idea, John used his extraordinary mind and rich knowledge reserves to tailor various levels for these people.
The content is often unimaginable and cruel puzzles. He lays sophisticated traps and devices, and only through these puzzles and traps can he survive.
For those who failed to complete the trial, he would cut off a puzzle-shaped piece of skin after death. Police who found the bodies dubbed him "Jigsaw," aka "Jigsaw."
Lin You observed the current situation.
She has some pre-memory given by the system in her mind. Since this copy doesn't require her to remember anything, Lin You just has a vague memory.
The "Susie" he was talking about was on the way home, as usual, he took a detour into an alley, and before he had gone far, he was beaten unconscious with a club from behind. After waking up again, the player finds himself locked in this room.
Lin Youxin said that maybe she should be thankful that she was not put on any murder mask or helmet, and her head would not be torn in half. The sitting area is narrow and hard, but at least a normal chair.
The clothes were still the ones she kept by default, and she tried to move her hands and feet. When Lin You felt the icy cold coming from her ankles, Lin You lowered her head and saw the iron chain tied there, and the iron ball dragging behind the chain.
She also felt a little strange on her neck. Lin You stretched out her hand and touched a ring of metal.
Can only feel it if you can't see it, and she held it, realizing that it was a bulky necklace.
One, two... three, touch three small holes from left to right. The hole was long and she suspected it was for a key.
Lin You tried to break it, and the device was naturally fastened tightly, and it was impossible to tear it apart easily.
If it was destroyed forcibly, something might happen, so she let go decisively.
"Susie."
On the old TV directly opposite, the mouth of the weird puppet moved up and down.
He called her the name given by the system in this dungeon, and continued.
"You have a great mind and are enthusiastic about public welfare. You have never been used to behaviors that harm others and benefit yourself. You are a well-deserved leader in the eyes of many people in the school. However, you who always call on people to do something for the victims hide behind that friendly mask What are your thoughts?"
… According to him, she was set up to be a hypocrite
"It seems that you have realized your situation."
He said.
"The necklace around your neck has three layers, and a small amount of TTX toxin is stored inside. What you have to do is to find the keys that can unlock the three layers of locks within the specified time, otherwise, once the countdown is over, it will be destroyed. into your body."
"You have done this subject before, and you must also understand that blood injection will lead to paralysis and death in a short period of time."
"Life or death, make your choice."
Come, come, classic lines.
Lin You looked at the puppet on the TV screen.
Jigsaw lost his only son in the miscarriage of his wife, so he took this puppet made by himself as a memorial to his son. At the same time, he will also use this to endorse his trial, appearing in front of the subjects in his place.
The puppet's name happened to be Billy too.
… She suspected that Jigsaw and Mary Shaw would have a lot in common.
She was silent for too long when she was lost in thought, but she didn't look like she was panicking at all, which made the whole atmosphere weird.
"..."
On the TV, Billy was silent for a moment, opening and closing his mouth.
"Why is there no response?"
"Yes, yes." Lin You coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, I was in a daze just now."
The real culprit who heard these words choked on the answer very rarely.
daze? ? ?
"If you don't act anymore," said the white-faced puppet on the TV, "I'll treat you as giving up the game."
According to the rules of the jigsaw, if you give up the game, of course there is only one death.
"Don't worry."
Lin You said, "I never said no to playing."
"I just want to ask if there is any reward if I pass." She said, "For example, I have an acquaintance who likes to collect puppets—"
She remembered that Billy could still ride a bicycle, Mary Shaw should be very interested.
"No."
Interrupting her jigsaw has already regretted this active communication, how good it is to use video and walkman recordings as before, and being bargained like this is not in line with his original intention.
"Puppets won't work, so get another one," Lin You compromised, "I think you—"
"No," Jigsaw repeated somehow, feeling that he couldn't let her go any further, "you can only win your life back."
Then I heard the other party "cut", "Stingy."
Jigsaw: "..."
"Forget it." Lin You said, "Let's start the game."
... Isn't that his line? ?
Before the other party could say anything else, Lin You looked around.
The small space is cold and damp, and there are large areas of mildew in the gap between the wall and the floor. In the whole room, there are only her chair and the TV opposite, and there are no other mechanisms.
Obviously, Jigsaw probably didn't intend to use this place as a venue.
There is a wooden door on the left.
The dribbling chain she was dragging weighed at least ten kilograms.
Lin You didn't know what this was for, if she wanted to prevent her from escaping, just find a pipe and tie it to it.
This made it a little difficult for her to walk over, and she managed to get to the wooden door with great difficulty. Like the moldy corners, the dirty door looked like it had been neglected for some time.
She unscrewed the doorknob.
As soon as the door was opened, the moisture rushed in.
Looking over there, Lin You realized what the shackles were for.
In front of you is a square pool with a length of six meters.
I don't know if it was the function of the mechanism, but after the iron ball was dragged in with a heavy muffled sound, the wooden door behind her also slowly closed by itself.
Jigsaw likes to observe his game scene at a close distance. I don't know if he has it this time. Thinking of this, Lin You glanced over, but didn't see any windows or holes.
It seems not.
Also, he is controlling the puppet this time, maybe monitoring or something.
The space here is much larger than the one just now. There was a TV set on a cabinet in the corner, and the screen that was originally black turned on at this moment.
Billy's white-painted face was on it again.
No one interrupted, he calmed down, and finally he was able to carry out his trial properly.
"Since you have decided to accept this game, the countdown begins. You have forty minutes to find all three keys."
"Susie, in front of you is a pool two meters deep, and the first key is at the bottom of the water."
he said.
"You need to go down with the shackles. It restricts your movement to a certain extent, and the length is not enough to make you breathless. By the way, its keys are also together."
"But I will keep heating the water in the pool."
"From the moment you enter the water until the pool is completely boiling, you have three minutes and thirty seconds. If you can't find it, it means that you missed the opportunity to open the outermost layer of locks, and the game will directly fail."
"Go, Susie, and see if you can find your own chance to live."
Lin You: "..."
She squatted down by the pool, the water inside was a little cloudy, but the red number flashing in the middle of the necklace around her neck could be vaguely reflected - minus the time it took for the jigsaw to describe the rules, there were still thirty-nine minutes .
However, there are so many impurities in the water, I don't know if I can see things clearly after diving in.
"Let me ask one more question," Lin You said, "Is there no restriction on the method?"
Behind the monitoring screen, Jigsaw looked at the huge room that was empty except for a TV.
There is no other way.
"tell him.
"Anything is fine?"
"As long as you can get the key."
"Very good," Lin You said, "Then I can rest assured."
As soon as she turned her wrist, there was an extra card in her hand. With another wave, the card disappeared, replaced by an unknown object that suddenly splashed a splash of water.
Surveillance cameras captured everything clearly. Just across from Lin You, with long hair floating on the water, a swollen and green face, and a figure that can be seen as a woman, but this—
"There is a key at the bottom of the water," Lin You immediately ordered before he could react, "find it for me."
Looking back at the TV, the puppet on the screen has completely frozen.
What the hell is this? ?
Finally, the puppet's mouth finally moved.
Billy: "Wait..."
With a "crash", the water ghost's swollen face emerged from the water. It hadn't been twenty seconds since she entered the water, but at this moment, she was already holding a bunch of keys tied together high in her hand.
At this moment, she still raised her head and smiled provocatively at the TV.
The world is quiet.
"This is what you said yourself, there is no limit."
In the eerie silence, Lin You took the key and shook the water droplets on it. She tried them one by one, and successfully inserted the small key into the innermost hole, turned it half a turn, and heard the crisp sound of unlocking.
She bent down again, and inserted the other key that was hanging in the lock. This time it was a little harder, but also accompanied by a "click", the shackles on the wrists fell off to the left and right.
The action is a bit of a long-lost looseness.
"Okay," Lin You asked briskly, "What's the next level?"
