The lights in the corridor jumped and flickered.
Mrs. Qin frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said apologetically, "The circuit system of the villa was just overhauled a few days ago, and it's not very stable. I'll go downstairs and take a look."
"You are busy, I can do it myself." Jian Jing waved her hand.
Mrs. Qin left in a hurry.
Jian Jing thought, since she was already out, she might as well go to the toilet first.
The bathroom in the villa is designed like that in a five-star hotel, with three compartments, a sealed solid wood door, and a marble washbasin with hand soap, fragrances, and hand creams on it.
There was a faint scent of famous perfume in the air.
All three rooms were empty. Jian Jing randomly picked one and went in. There was a smart toilet inside.
Boom! Another thunder sounded.
The warm-toned ceiling light flickered, dimming for several seconds before coming on again.
The smart toilet starts playing light music, mi la mi la…, to cover up the indecent sounds.
Jian Jing: There are quite a lot of variations.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The light bulb made an unpleasant noise, and then, accompanied by a loud thunder, all the lights in the bathroom went out and fell into darkness in an instant.
Jian Jing thought the light would come back on soon, but after waiting for half an hour, there was no change.
The power circuit breaker tripped
She quickly finished the last step and tried to push the door open to go out.
No push.
Push again.
The solid wood door panels are firmly fixed in place and do not move at all.
My finger touched the touch screen behind the door panel, and a line of text popped up: [Security system has been restarted, please enter the emergency password]
The toilet lock is an intelligent sensor lock. When no one is inside, it can be opened at will from the outside. The door will automatically lock when you enter, and will automatically unlock when relevant movements are detected when you go out.
But now no matter how she poked, the image on the display did not change.
When it rains, it pours; the system finally comes out after much anticipation.
[System: New task has been released]
[Mission Name: Escape from Yuhui Villa]
[Mission Description: Thunderstorm weather has caused circuit failure. The security system of Yuhui Villa has been activated. You must escape from here before the villa releases deadly gas. Countdown 10 hours]
[Task rewards and penalties: Success will reward you 30 courage points, failure will make you die]
Release of deadly gas
Are you kidding me? How can a private exhibition hall’s security system have something like this
Jian Jing couldn't believe it. For a moment she didn't know whether there was something wrong with the system or she just didn't have enough common sense. She sat on the toilet in confusion, doubting her life.
To be honest, she thought this kind of escape mission would only happen after her rebirth, but who would have thought that she would encounter it again.
This is much more difficult than finding the murderer.
To escape from the villa, you must first escape from the toilet. To escape from the toilet, you must first leave the cubicle.
The problem is the password. What the hell does she know about the password
Jian Jing had never encountered such a situation before, so she was at a loss and had to randomly enter 123456 to try.
[wrong password]
[There are 9 more chances. If you enter all wrong, you will be locked out completely.]
Help, there is a limit on the number of times
Jian Jing held her forehead and said, "System, I want to draw a card, a normal card."
Last time, she got 15 points of courage and 10 points of contribution, and she can draw 3+1 times. It takes a thousand days to save money, but it only takes one day to spend it. It's time to change your fate by spending money.
[Normal card extraction]
She drew an [Enhancement Card·Burst (1 point)] and an [Enhancement Card·Agility (1 point)] and used them immediately.
So her personal data became like this:
Physical fitness: 5 (the consequence of staying up late all year round)
Strength: 4 (You can't carry a bucket of water)
Agility: 7 (You are slightly more agile than an average person)
Burst: 4 (You only know the pain when you are running for your life)
Stamina: 5 (Your stamina is clearly not that great)
This result undoubtedly made Jian Jing very worried, but fortunately she got the next card.
[Name: Knowledge Card: Cryptography (Elementary)]
[Content Description: Using this card will give you entry-level password knowledge]
[Note: There are always some people who don’t speak properly, password, oh, damn password]
She used the card immediately.
It's mysterious, but after using the password card, she got a little idea of how to crack the password.
It is definitely not okay to try randomly.
Is the security system built by Mrs. Qin related to her
Jian Jing unlocked her phone and wanted to search for her personal information, but the small grid on the top of the screen disappeared and there was only a huge x in the area representing the signal.
No signal.
She cursed under her breath and thought hard.
Could it be the opening date of the pavilion
She quickly entered today's time 20200506.
[wrong password]
Jian Jing sighed and used her cell phone to illuminate the surroundings to see if there was any emergency call for help.
There were few things in the cubicle, a hook on each side, a trash can in the corner, and a small cabinet on the partition on the back wall, which contained a few sanitary napkins and tampons.
She searched very carefully but found no valuable clues.
All that was left was the toilet.
The toilet has lost power and cannot be used, and there are no written instructions.
Am I really going to be trapped here to death
No, think again.
I don’t know if it was the flash of inspiration brought by the password card, or the instinctive consciousness of the observation card, but at a certain moment, a melody passed through my mind.
"Dangdangdangdangdangdang..." She hummed it unconsciously and suddenly remembered, isn't this the classic song "Für Alice"
When I was in high school, the school used it as the school bell.
Could it be a music score
Jian Jing pondered: "Do-la-do-la... No, la-la-la-la?"
She fell into a cycle of "Ma Dongmei", "Ma whatmei?", "Ma Dongmei", "Ma Dong what?"
Three minutes later, 1212pass.
Two minutes later, 6262 passes.
6 more times left.
6565 Error.
8686 Error.
Ten minutes later, 323237216.
The answer is: Mi-la-mi-la-mi-si-la-dora.
[Password is correct]
The toilet door opened.
Jian Jing walked out with heavy steps, feeling that she would never forget Alice again.
When I got to the door, I pulled hard on the women's restroom door.
Very good, it is also locked, the same nine-grid combination lock.
It's just going to the toilet, is it that serious
Is this a trapped thief or a trapped Kaito Kidd?
Jian Jing was only prepared to solve the case, but she never expected to encounter this and she felt a little overwhelmed.
"System, is this world really so dangerous?" she asked, "If I can't escape, will I die?"
[System: Host, please trust the system's judgment and try your best to escape]
She was helpless. Now that things had come to this, she could only continue looking for clues.
The entire women's restroom was much larger. She pushed the doors of each cubicle one by one to check, and also searched the cabinets behind the sink. Finally, she set her sights on the decorative paintings hanging on the wall.
In the painting, a girl is sitting with her arms crossed and a wreath of leaves on her head.
This is an imitation of the famous painting "The Pearl Girl".
Although there are no numbers on the painting, passwords sometimes do not necessarily have to be numbers directly.
Jian Jing, who had mastered the entry-level knowledge, quickly thought of the keyboard password.
The nine-grid digital code disk is very similar to the nine-grid input method.
Pearl Lady… Initials? She tried 9(z)9(z)6(n)5(l).
Display error.
Is it the full name of Pearl Lady, "zhenzhunvlang"? It's a bit long, but let's try.
mistake.
Sure enough, it is not right. Then, will it be a more old-fashioned keyboard setting
z is the fourth number on key 9, 9999
If so, it would be 9999(z)9999(z)66(n)555(l).
Still error.
Could it be that her thinking was wrong and it had nothing to do with the portrait? Jian Jing couldn't help but doubt her thinking, but when she looked left and right, she saw that they were all necessary bathroom items, and only the oil painting was the most suspicious.
Maybe the nine-square grid cannot be used as an input keyboard, but rather a keyboard format to derive numbers.
z is not 9999, it’s 94
She changed her thinking and deduced a new password: 94946253.
enter.
Click, it opened.
"Ah!" Jian Jing felt a strong burst of joy in her heart. She didn't expect that it would actually work. But she was also a little scared. If she didn't try to the end and gave up at the last minute, she would really vomit blood.
She grumbled to herself and walked quickly to the corridor outside.
She reached the staircase in the dark, only to find that the staircase had become a wall, with no passage at either end of the corridor. She didn't bother to look closely and headed straight for the small cinema.
As expected, the door here was also locked.
"Boss Kang, Screenwriter Xu." She knocked on the door. "Are you in there?"
"Yes." The soundproofing was so good that the voice inside was a little muffled. "Is that Jingjing?"
Jian Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss Kang, you guys are okay, right?"
"It's okay." Kang Mucheng said calmly, "Are you okay? What happened?"
Jian Jing said: "There's a power outage. Maybe the security system has automatically activated and locked us all in here. You must come out quickly. Let's leave here."
"Ah, can't we just cancel it after we start it?" Screenwriter Xu interrupted the conversation, asking in confusion, "We'll be in trouble if we run into anything while wandering around."
Jian Jing was not so optimistic.
The countdown was 10 hours, and it was clear that Mrs. Qin had not cancelled the alert. It was hard to say whether she could not do so or had some other purpose. But no matter what, she could not trust her life to this.
She said, "There was a thunderstorm before, and there was a problem with the circuit. Mrs. Qin said she would go check it out, but she never came back. She might be trapped there too."
Screenwriter Xu was shocked: "What?"
"Come out first, we'll go find her." After solving two puzzles, Jian Jing was already in the right state. "There's only a keyhole outside the door, but no key. What's going on inside?"
Kang Mucheng said: "It also uses a key."
Jian Jing thought: "Look inside, maybe there is a spare key."
"No way." Screenwriter Xu was skeptical. "If I put a spare key in there, wouldn't the person just run away?"
Jian Jing also found it unbelievable, but she said from her own experience: "I was locked in the toilet just now, and there was a clue."
"Toilet?" Kang Mucheng frowned deeply on the other side of the door, realizing the weirdness of the situation. "Writer Xu, let's look for it."
Screenwriter Xu had no objection since he had nothing to do anyway.
The two used their cell phones to illuminate and searched separately.
There weren't many things in the theater, except for the eight seats arranged in rows of four and a curtain hanging in front. On the highest step at the back was a projector, and next to it was a row of shelves filled with film reels.
The two searched around for a while but found no trace of the key.
"No." Screenwriter Xu scratched his head and shouted, "Go find Mr. Qin or Mrs. Qin and ask them to open the door."
"The mechanism has been activated, and we can't find the way out." Jian Jing said succinctly, "Look carefully to see if there are any hidden compartments or secret doors."
Secret compartment? Kang Mucheng's expression became more and more strange. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Writer Xu, do you think there might be something behind this shelf?"
Screenwriter Xu walked over, put his shoulder against the shelf, and tried to push it, but it didn't move: "No, it's too heavy."
"I mean, is there a trap?" Kang Mucheng recalled, "Mrs. Qin specifically reminded us not to mess up the order."
Screenwriter Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That makes sense. Let me take a look."
There were a lot of films in boxes on the shelf, all carefully placed in boxes. The side of the box was labeled with the name of the movie, which was easy to see at a glance.
"Hey, look, the movies here are arranged according to time. Avanti was released in 1980, The Deer with Nine Colors was released in 1981, The Wanderings of Sanmao was released in 1984..." Screenwriter Xu, who is a film industry insider, quickly noticed something was wrong. "But Not One Less from 1999 is placed here. The time is wrong."
Kang Mucheng immediately said: "Let's find out the ones with wrong time."
One of them has worked in the film industry for more than ten years, and the other has recently been preparing for the film and television department. They both have more or less knowledge of classic films and quickly picked out several films that were in the wrong order.
In order, the list is as follows:
"No One Less", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Justice, My Foot", "Empty Room", "One Life, One Love", "Seven Swords", "Nine Dimensions of Space", "3 Idiots", "A Separation", "Empty Room", "One Step Away", "The Hateful Eight", "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", "Empty Room", "Three Watches", "A Good Show", "Seven Samurai", "Nine", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The Six-Fingered Demon", "Empty Room", "A Separation", "Seven Chances", "Nine Time Travels", and "Fork in the Crossroads".
