After all, the four doors in this rotunda have exactly the same appearance, and there are no particularly obvious markings. After walking around the hall for a while, you will get confused between the doors.
Therefore, for this reason, it is necessary for them to make relevant signs on the door.
The situation at the east gate was similar to that at the south gate. When the heavy security door was opened with a key, the first thing that appeared in front of him was a long corridor. The layout was basically the same as the previous south gate.
But after walking forward for about ten meters, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
There is a library with a large area, a gym with solid wood floors filled with various fitness equipment, a large private theater equipped with VR glasses, an amusement hall with all kinds of dancing machines and arcade machines, and the counters are piled with various items. The bar with fine wines... has everything you need.
The most important point is that the area of these entertainment buildings is quite large. The cramped feeling that had been accumulated before was swept away, even after walking along this wide corridor to the innermost part. , there is even a small indoor swimming pool...
It is no exaggeration to say that this place is completely paradise.
"I feel like I could stay here for a few months..."
Looking at the bright lights in front of him, Shenwu Tianxie murmured to himself.
"Yes, me too, I can stay here for a year..."
Meng Qixia also spoke in a daze.
"... Don't you feel weird when you face these empty shops?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Zheng Gu and Ming felt a little headache and stretched out their hands to press their foreheads.
"Let's go, let's go to Ximen to have a look."
The initial entrance on the west side is the same as the entrances of the other two gates. It is also a passage that is more than ten meters long. However, the difference between this side and the east gate is that almost all of them are shopping malls.
You can find famous brand-name clothes or bags from all over the world here. However, in addition to shops selling brand-name clothes, shoes or bags, there are also some hand-made shops that specialize in selling hand-made figures. The skills and gadgets are placed randomly here, and you can take them as you please.
"Damn it, my wife's figure!! This is mine, don't take it from me!!"
At first glance, he took a fancy to the life-size Saber figure placed in a certain figure store, and Shenwu Tianxie immediately screamed with excitement.
"What do you call your wife? That's my wife!! You shameless person... Damn it, limited edition knight's belt!!!"
Meng Qixia, who looked unwilling to be outdone, had not yet finished speaking. His eyes accidentally turned to somewhere and he immediately screamed excitedly.
"So you two are sharing a wife, right... Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart."
Seeing the two live treasures starting to argue again, Zhenggu Heming couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Uh... can you take whatever you want here?"
Looking at the dazzling array of products around him, Night Owl also spoke weakly.
"If you want to commit suicide, go ahead and get it. Didn't you see that the two of them were only talking verbally?"
Sensing the movement of the girl next to him, Bai Zhi pressed his forehead slightly with his hand. Bai Zhi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
When he left the stairwell before, he controlled the shadow guard he summoned to go to the stairwell to find out what was going on. But when he entered the east door, the contact from the shadow guard was inexplicable. It was broken, and at this time, less than ten seconds had passed since he sent the shadow guard into the stairwell.
This was the first time that the shadow guard he summoned was killed in a real sense. Since he had no relevant experience at all before, when the shadow cut off contact with him, a faint tingling feeling came from his mind. .
Inside that dark stairwell... what exactly exists
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 143 Chapter 140 The Switched Paper
Say it, say it, do it.
Compared with one's own wealth and life, everyone can still clearly distinguish the importance of some external possessions.
Do you really think this is a good place for vacation? Can they spend seven days happily here? Forget it.
After roughly exploring all the places on this floor, everyone returned to the circular hall in the center and sat down around the table. The paper that Bai Zhi had previously pressed with a cup was still laid out. Place it in the center of the table.
Everything is unclear right now, and they must proceed with caution.
The round table in this rotunda is large enough and there are enough chairs, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sit down.
"I don't think this is a place where we can have fun in peace."
Because he had witnessed the charlatanism and unreliability of his teammates before, Zhenggu Heming was the first to speak.
"I think it's better to go to places like those less often."
"That's not possible. Without those things for entertainment, how boring would these seven days be?"
Shenwu Tianxie was the first to express his objections.
"I think you can still go to places like game arcades and gyms. After all, these things are already written in the rules."
"I agree with my predecessor."
Meng Qixia raised her hand.
"Seconded."
Bai Zhi nodded very reservedly.
"Uh... I listen to him."
Seeing Zheng Gu and Ming looking at him and shrinking his neck slightly, Night Owl pointed at Bai Zhi next to him.
-Fear of the dark will always be her biggest weakness.
"... You can tell yourselves what arrangements will be made next."
Really unable to complain, Zheng Gu and Ming simply gave up treatment completely.
"Danger may appear at night."
He coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, put his hands together on his chin, and Meng Qixia spoke deeply.
Since the sunglasses he wore on his face before have not been taken off, the pose he is wearing now looks a little more stylish.
"That's right, and it's still after nine o'clock in the evening."
Similarly, he followed the other person's example and put his hands together on his chin. Shenwu Tianxie took the words seriously.
The zither and drums chime in harmony: "..."
"Forget it, let me say a few words."
After sighing and scanning the extra chairs around the round table, Bai Zhi began to speak.
"When you go out on weekdays, remember to bring your keys. Without your keys, you will not only be unable to return to your room, but you may also be trapped in a certain area."
As he spoke, Bai Zhi glanced at the heavy security doors on the side.
"You have also seen before that these doors will automatically close after being opened. At the same time, these doors are quite thick and the sound insulation effect is also quite good. If you are locked behind the door without the key, I will not be responsible for the consequences. Say more?"
"Can't the key be stored in the backpack?"
The night owl on the side couldn't help but speak.
"You can give it a try, but I can tell you that it's not just the keys that can't be put in, but everything in this apartment that we can't fit into a backpack."
Bai Zhi glanced at the night owl next to him and emphasized in his mouth.
"We must keep those essential things with us at all times and never lose them somewhere."
"That's true...what else?"
After trying it silently, Zhenggu Heming nodded.
Looking at someone talking eloquently in front of her, the fire of hope in her heart ignited again.
"What else? Another thing is that I'm hungry. This mission comes in such a hurry, and I haven't even had time to eat breakfast..."
Stretching out his head and touching his belly, Bai Zhi spoke seriously.
"Does any of you know how to cook? I only know how to make instant noodles, and it's impossible to order takeout here."
—The fire of hope in Zhenggu Heming's heart quickly extinguished.
"I can cook... but is the food here really okay?"
Raising his hand weakly, the night owl couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't matter, don't forget that this is a role-playing mode. The food here should be edible, including those at the amusement park. Otherwise, these people would have been here before we started this mission. Can’t live anymore.”
Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced at Night Owl in surprise, and Bai Zhi shook his head slightly.
"I think you have more or less experienced this type of role-playing mission before, right? These should be common sense."
"Well... Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry too."
He also reached out and touched his belly, and Meng Qixia nodded in agreement.
"Okay, it's still early anyway, why don't we go back to the room to eat first? I remember that there are all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator... But let me declare in advance that I can't cook, I can only eat."
"That's such a coincidence, I can't cook either."
With a bright smile on his face, Shenwu Tianxie glanced at Meng Qixia with a sympathetic expression.
"When I was cooking, I almost burned down the entire kitchen. From that time on, my family never let me enter the kitchen again."
"I'm the same, but I'm a little better than you. I just blew up a few kitchens."
Bai Zhi also showed a smile on his face.
"Only a few kitchens were bombed... Are you making elixirs in the kitchen?"
Seeing the scene in front of the three grown men who couldn't cook, showing sympathy to each other, Zhenggu Heming stood up from the chair feebly after making some speechless remarks.
"In that case, let's eat together. Night Owl and I will make the food."
Although his teammates are all idiots, Zhenggu Heming cannot deny that such a team is the most united and makes people feel quite at ease. They are either indifferent or not close to those in the last mission they experienced. Compared with his teammates who are self-centered, Zhenggu Heming prefers the current atmosphere in the team.
After finding the security door with the word "Accommodation Area" on it, Zhenggu Heming took out the key from his pocket.
In order to make it easy to distinguish, the names of Zhenggu and Ming have been carefully written on white paper and pasted on the four doors of this rotunda.
[Accommodation Area], [Stairwell], [Entertainment Venue], and [Super Shopping Mall], the instructions posted on the door lead to four areas respectively, which seem to be clear at a glance.
Among the six keys held by each player, five keys have been found to be used to open which places, but the last key is not known to be used to open where, and the appearance of these keys is all They are all basically the same, and most of them are difficult to distinguish.
But there are only six keys in total, so it’s always okay to try them one by one.
But when Zhenggu Heming tried out the key and opened the door in front of him, everyone's expressions, including Bai Zhi's, suddenly changed.
—After the door was opened, what appeared in front of them was a dark stairwell.
Volume 1: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 144 Chapter 141: The Neglected Key Factor
Looking at the dark stairwell in front of them, Zhenggu Heming couldn't help but take a step back, and there was a hint of disbelief in his words.
"How is that possible? This door is obviously..."
Although there is no very conspicuous identification mark in this rotunda, not to mention that they have used paper to mark in detail where each door leads to, and it took less than ten minutes. With all the effort, they wouldn't be able to go to the wrong door.
"Three possibilities."
After closing the security door in front of him again, Bai Zhi frowned slightly as he looked at the paper with the three characters "Accommodation Area" written on it.
"The first one is that when we entered other areas, someone in the rotunda came in and replaced the logo on the door."
"This possibility can probably be ruled out."
After stepping forward to check the paper on the door, Meng Qixia shook her head.
"The paper that was glued here has no trace of being torn and re-attached... Of course, if it was the work of something like a ghost, we probably wouldn't be able to tell."
“The second possibility is that the area behind the door will change randomly. For example, if you open the door one second, it will lead to the stairwell, and the next second you open the door, it may lead to an entertainment venue. "
Bai Zhi shrugged nonchalantly and came up with his second guess.
"Report, there is still a stairwell behind the door."
After trying to open the door with the key again, Shenwu Tianxie raised his hand.
"Of course, there may be a specific time interval before the change occurs."
"...So you two are just here to cause trouble, right?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi said his third theory angrily.
"The third possibility is that this is an apartment with a rotating layout, and the rotunda is the center of the circle. This can also be used to explain why the sticker on the door has no trace of being changed privately, but the door leading to But the phenomenon is different in other places.”
"spiral… "
Walking to the door corresponding to the door leading to the stairwell in front of him, Zhenggu Heming found the key and opened the door marked leading to the stairwell.
