On April 15th, it was time for the performers of "Peach Blossom Spring" to enter each "world".
Ji Thrush and four teammates met, came to the door of the Hourglass Cube, and waited in line to enter the "world".
While queuing up, Ji Thump found that Fan Luming put his hands behind his back several times, secretly rubbing the corners of his clothes, looking a little unconsciously nervous, so he couldn't help reaching out to rub his hair, and comforted him in a low voice:
"Don't be afraid, haven't we analyzed it? After all, we still have to choose the poker face. We definitely won't be at the scene of the ghost talk when we open our eyes."
Being patted and killed by a child who was five years younger than him, the younger brother of the Fan family did not feel comforted at all.
"That's what it says..."
Fan Luming grabbed Ji Thrush's paws, puffed his cheeks, "But we're going to be in various senses of hell soon, everyone will be nervous, okay?"
A middle-aged man who didn't know him standing in front of Ji Thrush heard Fan's younger brother's complaint, and couldn't help but look back at the two of them, his expression was shocked with sympathy, and his eyes were full of pity that they were about to face the supernatural "world" .
Just after the two of them said these two sentences, it was their turn to enter the Hourglass Cube.
"Okay, I'm going in."
As the captain of the five-member team, Ji Thrush was the first to walk into the long corridor.
Before turning around, he waved to his four teammates, "See you later."
...
…
Ji Thrush's "see you later" came true quickly.
He felt that just by opening and closing his eyes, he had already entered another "world" from "Peach Blossom Spring". When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on a carpet, Mo Tiangen, Fan Hemian and Fan Luming's two siblings were sleeping next to him, but Ren Jianmo was nowhere to be seen.
With a grunt, Ji Thrush got up from the carpet and looked around.
Unlike the previous two rounds, this time, no additional background information was implanted in his mind. "Peach Blossom Spring" did not tell them in advance what kind of "world" they were experiencing.
Ji Xiaoniao observed for a while, and the place she was in now looked like the living room of a villa.
There is a set of warm brown fabric sofa and a long glass coffee table. There is a set of TV cabinet on the wall facing the sofa, and a huge 65-inch TV screen is embedded on the wall.
Next to the living room is the dining room, which is separated by a set of beautiful combination wine cabinets, and a mica stone dining table with six chairs in the center.
In the corner of the restaurant there is a staircase with a spiral rail that apparently leads to the second floor.
After confirming that the surrounding environment is safe, Ji Thrush woke up several companions one by one.
Mo Tiangen, Fan Hemian, and Fan Luming opened their eyes, at first they were happy to see their companions' faces immediately, but after searching their memory, they found that everyone knew nothing about the current situation, and they were very confused.
Mo Tiangen looked around and found that there was one person missing, "By the way, where is Mr. Ren?"
Ji Xiaoniao shook his head, "I just woke up too, and I didn't see him when I woke up."
"I am here."
At this time, Ren Jianmo's voice came from the second floor. Everyone looked up and saw Ren Jianmo's upper body protruding from the handrail of the spiral staircase. His waist-length hair also fell down as he bent down, like a waterfall. Draped over the shoulders.
Ji Thrush smiled and asked, "What did you find on it?"
"Well, there are some discoveries."
As Ren Jianmo said, he walked down the stairs and at the same time waved a small card in his hand.
The five of them sat down on the sofa and had an impromptu meeting.
"I found this on the coffee table in the entrance."
Ren Jianmo woke up a little earlier than the others, and while the others were still asleep, he had already roughly checked the villa they were in.
Then he found a card in the entrance, with a message, or should I say, an instruction, written on it by someone who didn't know.
Ji Thrush and the others got closer and saw clearly the line of beautiful handwritten cursive characters on the light beige card.
"At seven o'clock in the morning, please go to the basement to attend the game presentation."
Fan Hemian turned to look at Ren Jianmo: "The basement?"
"Ok."
Ren Jianmo pointed in the direction of the escalator, and everyone noticed that there was a small walnut-colored door hidden behind the stairs.
"There should be the basement over there, but I can't get in now."
As he said, he raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the TV wall, "The door is equipped with a lock with a timing function, just as the card says, the door lock can only be opened after seven o'clock."
There is a clock tall enough for a person in the corner, and the time displayed on it is 6:20.
"I see."
Ji Thrush looked down at the watch on his wrist, and found that the upper right corner really showed the time, and the reading was accurate to the second, which was exactly the same as the clock, while the progress bar stopped at the far left, and the color of the pointer was green representing safety.
"It seems that we won't really start to enter the plot until after the game explanation meeting."
"okay then!"
Fan Hemian stood up, "While there is still time, let's go around the house and find out the situation first!"
&&& &&& &&&
This is a two-story villa.
On the ground floor are the living and dining rooms, and a fairly spacious kitchen.
The kitchen has a stove, pots and pans, and a triple-height refrigerator next to the cupboards, stuffed with enough food for five of them for a week.
In addition to the basement door, which is still inaccessible, there is another large room on the first floor.
Judging from the layout, this room is roughly a study room. There is not only a large desk with a computer in it, but also bookcases covering three walls. The cabinets are densely packed with books and magazines of various colors.
Because they didn't have enough time, they only took a cursory glance, and found that most of them were related to history, religion, and mysticism, as well as local newspapers for fifty years.
Everyone also found that although this is a very ordinary villa in terms of structure and layout, the main entrance is locked, and unless the door panel is destroyed by violence, it is impossible to get out at all.
And the windows everywhere on the first floor cannot be opened.
Not only the glass is locked, but also a grid-like iron fence is nailed, obviously meaning that you can't expect to come in and out through the window.
"Look, there is another villa over there."
Mo Tiangen opened the curtain of the living room window and saw the scenery outside.
What they are in now should be a garden villa real estate. Outside the window is a beautiful courtyard full of lush flowers and green plants. There are two six-seater SUVs parked in the courtyard, one black and one white.
Fifty meters away is another villa.
It is also the height of two floors, and there is also a beautiful big garden, and there are also two cars parked in the backyard, which looks very similar to the room they live in.
"so… "
Fan Luming opened the window screen and carefully observed the situation opposite, "Does this mean that there is likely to be another group of participants next door?"
As she said that, she frowned, "Could it be that this is not only '24 o'clock', but also a game that requires each other to compete for playing cards?"
As soon as the girl said this conjecture, everyone's expressions became serious.
If they are the only team collecting poker cards, then everyone has already imagined several point collection plans during the preparation period, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation at any time.
But if there really is another rival team, the nature of the problem changes entirely.
They not only have to consider their own plans, but also how the other party will act.
After all, there are only thirteen strange talk locations and thirteen cards. If they drag each other down, it is very likely that both sides will fight each other in the end, and no one can collect twenty-four points.
"Don't worry, we'll know what's going on in twenty minutes."
Ji thrush patted the shoulders of the Fan family siblings one by one.
"Soldiers will come to block the water and cover them with soil, and they will always find a way."
After checking the first floor, they went up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor, two large and one small.
The small room is filled with girls' things, from clothes, shoes and socks to make-up and skin care products. The two big rooms are men's things, and they are prepared for them at first glance.
"Oh shit!"
Fan Luming opened the cabinet, looked at the clothes he bought according to his figure, and laughed: "It seems that we have to live in this house for a while."
"Okay, now comes the problem."
Mo Tiangen got out from a bedroom opposite, stuck his head out by the door:
"There are only three bedrooms, the single room must be given to Xiaohe, so how do we allocate the remaining two rooms?"
Apart from Fan Hemian, Mo Tiangen, Fan Luming and Ren Jianmo all turned their attention to Ji Thrush.
Ji Xiaoniao: "???"
— Could it be that they meant to let him decide
— When did I become so popular
His eyes flicked back and forth twice on the three of them with some embarrassment, and then he took a small step in Ren Jianmo's direction silently with a very honest body, and his ears felt a little hot:
"I'll live with him."
Ji Thrush knows that Ren Jianmo's personality is not very gregarious, especially he doesn't like to be alone with other people.
Maybe a little self-righteous, but if he had to choose, he felt that the other party might be more acceptable to live in the same room with him.
Sure enough, the corners of Ren Damei's lips curved slightly, as if she was very satisfied with Ji Xiaoniao's choice.
The rest, Fan Luming and Mo Tiangen, looked at each other, and they both read the faint dislike in each other's eyes.
Mr. Dagen was obviously hurt. He shook his head and grunted and complained: "Tsk, you value sex and despise friends, this is the bright color that despises friends..."
Then, before Ji Xuan and Ren Jianmo recovered, he rushed out like an arrow, ran into the next room, kicked off his slippers, jumped onto one of the beds, and beat several people on it. roll.
"Okay, this room belongs to me and Xiaolu!"
Like a brown bear scrambling to occupy the territory, he made a mess of the bed, "Little Bird, you and Mr. Ren should sleep in another room, wow!"
Yes, two large rooms, one with two 1.5-meter beds, and the other with a 2.2-meter double bed.
Teacher Dagen feels that since he has lost his roommate Ji Xiaoniao, he must never lose his right to sleep in a bed!
