"I have a piece of paper here," said the youngest boy. "My role is... the offspring of a priest. My goal is... oh, the quest prompt can't tell you."
The teenager took out a piece of parchment with a simple map drawn on it. In this room escape project, everyone has their own role to play, and everyone gets different key props. Zhou Luoyang only remembered this, and glanced at a small packet sent to him by the staff girl when he came in.
Du Jing hung the bags of the two of them on his body, and while waiting, it was obvious that neither of them listened carefully.
"I'm the mercenary captain," said the tall man, "and I have a Swiss Army Knife in my bag."
Zhou Luoyang watched him play with the saber casually, and before he came in, the man looked at him from time to time.
The thin young man in the shirt said, "I am a professor of theology at the university, and I have a flashlight."
Another student plays the role of a Vietnamese overseas Chinese, a botanist, and the initial item in the bag is a water bottle.
The student said: "I came to investigate native plants and..."
The mercenary captain waved his hand, indicating that the real purpose should not be told to others.
Zhou Luoyang said, "My character is... uh, a tourist? This character is quite interesting. Didn't he give me any props?"
Zhou Luoyang rummaged in the bag for a long time, then shook it upside down, it was empty.
"I am a local bodyguard hired by tourists," Du Jing said.
Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing and said, "Is the initial relationship between players allowed?"
"Of course," Du Jing said, "I chose it for us." But he didn't say what was in his bag.
"Find a way to open the door," said the mercenary captain.
"So now I'm a fool tourist who can't do anything." Zhou Luoyang said, seeing that everyone was trying to open the iron gate to get out.
Du Jing said politely, "Yes, you can sit down and rest for a while."
The tall man who played the mercenary captain gave him a playful wink. After he came in, he had been paying attention to Zhou Luoyang.
The "University Professor" began to look down at the lock and said, "I think this may not be an exit door, it's just used for confusion."
Zhou Luoyang replied, "It's possible, what are you doing?"
"Professor" said, "I'm a professor, and I have a broken flashlight." He took out the flashlight and shook it towards Zhou Luoyang. Zhou Luoyang took it and couldn't turn it on.
A college student and a high school student, the two were temporarily together. The botanist said: "Every brick has been pried, and there is no abnormality."
"There's a seam here," said the mercenary captain. "I'll pry it open with a tool?"
"That's the door we came in." The youngest-looking boy reminded kindly.
Everyone laughed, and Zhou Luoyang began to be able to distinguish who was who. This group of strangers didn't seem to care whether they could escape the temple or not, and they chatted casually. Everyone knew each other in the group before.
Only Zhou Luoyang didn't join their same-sex dating group, so he was confused and inexplicable.
After meeting the numbers, they began to call each other by the vests in the group, and soon separated into three small groups - Zhou Luoyang and "Professor" stood together to study the lock on the iron door.
Du Jing stood with the mercenary captain and looked at the walls in all areas. The two students rubbed together and started to look at the ground.
"You brought it with Groot?" the "Professor" asked.
Zhou Luoyang wondered if he could open the lock with a Swiss Army knife, and asked the professor, "Who?"
"Professor" motioned him to look at Du Jing, and Zhou Luoyang nodded.
"Are you a couple?" the professor asked again.
Zhou Luoyang remembered Du Jing's previous arrangement, showing a little embarrassment just right, and did not answer. The professor didn't ask any more questions. He seemed to have lost interest in him, and turned to look at the rest of the people.
"I think there is a problem here," the professor said, pointing to one of the places. "Only this area is a blind spot that is completely invisible to the light."
"Let me see?" said the mercenary captain.
Everyone gathered around, and Du Jing said, "I can't see it anymore after I block it, so give it a little bit." He asked Zhou Luoyang to stand behind him.
The botanist reached out to touch it, and said in the dark, "It's all ordinary iron railings, nothing strange."
"It's a little loose," Du Jing said with a little force, moving the iron railing up and down, "There must be a problem here."
Yes, Zhou Luoyang compared other fences, all the fences were welded and cast, only the iron rod in the dark made a sound. Everyone took turns to feel around, and Du Jing said, "What about the rotation?"
The mercenary captain said, "I'll give it a try."
The mercenary captain turned a few times, sounded a voice, and pulled out the iron rod. The iron rod was actually a vertical bolt, and then the iron fence in the dark was pulled open.
Everyone applauded, and the young "priest" said, "It's not difficult."
The professor hummed, the atmosphere became a little more active, and the mercenary captain walked out first. The first level was opened, and the surroundings became brighter. Everyone entered a spacious room with sixteen stone pillar totems and a half-meter-high bronze statue in the center. There was also a strange music in the secret room, and the music was mixed with water. Voice.
Zhou Luoyang: "…"
Du Jing: "?"
"It's nothing." Zhou Luoyang thought that this secret room was too unprofessional. In the secret room of Khmer civilization, there was a Hindu Shiva in it.
"Are you attacking or accepting?" The "priest" boy suddenly appeared on the other side of the sculpture. Zhou Luoyang was looking at the bronze statue of Shiva with all his attention, and was almost taken aback.
"Who are you in the group?" The boy didn't wait for Zhou Luoyang to answer, but he suddenly realized, "It's Groot's friend."
"Yes." Zhou Luoyang nodded, "I didn't join your group."
"What do you do?" the boy asked again.
Zhou Luoyang smiled and said, "Tourist." Of course he understood what the young man meant, and he explained the additional content casually: "How about you, the shop owner?"
Zhou Luoyang noticed that his hands were very white and slender, and they were also very good-looking.
The teenager replied: "I play games, e-sports."
The mercenary captain also came and joined their conversation: "Look at what's under the Buddha statue."
"This is not a Buddhist sculpture," Zhou Luoyang said to the young man. "This is Shiva, the god of reproduction and destruction, one of the three major gods in Hinduism. According to legend, the Ganges is the river where his semen converged."
"You know a lot," the captain said. "Learn this?"
Zhou Luoyang didn't answer, and said, "Can this be moved? You are strong, you can try it."
"Too heavy," said the priest.
"I'm coming." The captain did not miss the opportunity to perform, and rolled up his sleeves. Zhou Luoyang observed for a moment, but immediately said, "No, no need."
team leader:"?"
Zhou Luoyang: "Generally, organs that are too heavy and inconvenient to move are not important objects in the design of the secret room. They have to take into account the comprehensive level of all players."
The captain nodded thoughtfully and said, "That makes sense."
The Shiva sculpture looks bronze, but it is actually cast iron with a layer of green paint on the surface.
Du Jing didn't know when he came over and watched the two of them.
The captain smiled at Du Jing and said, "Groot?"
They had chatted in the group earlier, and they knew that Du Jing would come to the event today with the pursuit of goals.
Du Jing nodded, and the captain stretched out his hand, and the two didn't officially shake hands until then. Zhou Luoyang has been paying attention to him for a long time. This man has a very masculine temperament, clean-shaven stubble, thick eyebrows and big eyes, always smiling, and very friendly to people.
The figure is well managed, and there should be a little muscle under the clothes, but it is not the type of fitness trainer. He looks handsome and manly.
Du Jing also did not avoid them. After he came, he hugged Zhou Luoyang from behind, raised his eyes and glanced at the little priest, and the priest left.
Du Jing whispered in his ear, "What did he say to you?"
"Hey, pay attention," Zhou Luoyang said. "As for the escape room, there are also occasions for acting."
Du Jing's breath lingered in Zhou Luoyang's ears.
"Then tell me quickly." Du Jing ordered in an unquestionable tone.
Zhou Luoyang said in a low voice: "The professor asked about our relationship, and the priest asked us who was above and who was below."
Du Jing: "Oh? How did you answer?"
Zhou Luoyang replied: "I said I don't know, I haven't slept with you yet. If you have time, can you discuss the role?"
Du Jing said casually: "This still needs to be discussed? Do you want to rebel?"
Zhou Luoyang: "…"
"Hey," Zhou Luoyang felt that Du Jing was a little dangerous and said, "Be restrained."
Du Jing said: "The original intention is to soak you, what to restrain? Come, explain to me Shiva, where did the Ganges come from, why didn't you tell me?"
Zhou Luoyang: "Hey hey hey... don't... they saw it!"
The two stood in front of Shiva, Du Jing stood behind him, hugged Zhou Luoyang, pulled his chin firmly, and stared at his lips.
"They don't think we have a similar relationship. Let's cooperate," Du Jing said with a blank expression, "Be proactive, it's your turn today."
Zhou Luoyang quickly passed many thoughts in his mind, knowing that Du Jing meant to let him kiss him, he said, "I don't."
"Go away," Zhou Luoyang said again, "go and solve the riddle."
Zhou Luoyang pushed him down and told him to get out of the way. I saw the "Professor" chatting with botanists and studying the stone pillar totem. So Du Jing walked over and joined their conversation.
Is "Professor" the suspect who is looking for the target
Zhou Luoyang went to see the bronze statue in the center.
"Handsome guy, look here."
As soon as Du Jing left, the "captain" came again, patted Zhou Luoyang, and pointed to the back of the Shiva sculpture, there was a very black hole on the pedestal.
"Hey!" Zhou Luoyang said to Du Jing, "Hey, come over here."
After chatting with the botanist, the professor replied: "We found a stone pillar that can be turned, very light, and made of wood."
"What's in it?" Du Jing asked.
The hole is so small that it can only fit an adult's wrist. The mercenary captain put his hand in, and the botanist reminded: "Be careful of getting stuck."
"Ah!" The mercenary captain looked at Zhou Luoyang, and shouted in a cold and exaggerated manner, startling everyone, and quickly stepped forward to help, only Du Jing and the "professor" had a calm expression. At this moment, the corner of Zhou Luoyang's eyes Out of the corner of the eye, they looked at each other.
Zhou Luoyang: "…"
Zhou Luoyang felt a little unusual, but he didn't think about the meaning behind it, but the "priest" was startled and quickly pulled out the man's hand.
Sure enough, just to tease them, the captain pulled out his hand and touched the head of the little priest by the way.
Du Jing said, "There must be a mechanism inside. Professor, can your flashlight work?"
"Can't turn it on." "Professor" took the flashlight that didn't light up and adjusted the power supply. The captain said, "What is your personality? This Buddha statue depends on you."
"I'm a professor of theology." The "professor" replied, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and said to the flashlight: "God said, let there be light."
The voice-activated flashlight lit up, and everyone applauded suddenly, and Zhou Luoyang was shocked.
"Let there be light." "Professor" tried again, the flashlight went out, and realizing that "there must be light" became a condition for voice control, he took the flashlight and shone inward, and together with Du Jing and the mercenary captain struggled to get to the hole At the bottom of the screen, there seems to be something, but can't see clearly.
Du Jing said, "This flashlight should be used in an iron cage."
"Yes," said the mercenary captain lightly, "it's just useless."
Zhou Luoyang stood aside with the other two students, waiting for them to discuss the results, and found an interesting phenomenon. The escape room was divided into three attackers and three recipients. Shou, on the other hand, stood by, watching the performances of Du Jing, "Professor" and "Captain of Mercenaries".
Escape room does not seem attractive to them. The most important thing is who of these three attacks is more suitable for them, and they are interested in falling in love after the game is over.
At present, the other two seem to be more interested in Du Jing, whose online name is "Groot". Because if you don't count the scars on his face, he is the most handsome of the three. And the mark across the bridge of the nose after the phase-break also made him appear more approachable.
The discussion came to a standstill, and after a while, the mercenary captain said, "I don't know what will happen if I pour some water in."
"I heard the sound of water," the professor said immediately. "I remember someone's prop was a kettle."
The botanist immediately took out the kettle, and Du Jing said, "Listen to the sound and judge the nearby water source. The sound of water in the music may be a reminder."
Zhou Luoyang began to walk around, following the sound of water to find the source.
"I found it." Zhou Luoyang said.
Immediately afterwards, they were in a dark place and found a small pool blocked by a pillar in the blind area of sight.
There was about three liters of water in the pool. The mercenary captain took the kettle, filled it with water, and poured it into the hole. A wooden sign at the bottom with a small key floated up.
Just when the key came up, all the lights in the entire secret room instantly went out, and it was pitch black. Several people suddenly shouted.
Zhou Luoyang immediately said, "Where are the people?"
"Here." Du Jing replied, holding Zhou Luoyang's hand.
"God said, there should be light. God also said, don't be too nervous." The professor's voice came from the darkness, the voice-activated flashlight was lit, and the whole secret room became extremely terrifying, and then the music turned into a deep sound of wind.
"Don't be afraid," the mercenary captain comforted, "it's part of the game."
Zhou Luoyang didn't know who was pretending to be afraid and who was really afraid, but it was obvious to the naked eye that this dark and unfamiliar dark room really promoted the sense of dependence between people. The flashlight flashed quickly, and Zhou Luoyang saw two people holding hands.
In just a moment, the light turned around.
"Look behind you!" The botanist was obviously a little afraid of the dark.
"Stop," said Zhou Luoyang, "the flashlight is dangling, and my eyes are uncomfortable."
"I-I-I-I'm a little afraid of the dark," the botanist said. "Can I go out? I can give up and stop playing?"
"It's coming," the "professor" said, "don't be afraid, I'll hold you."
The mercenary captain said, "The key is in my hand. Open the door. Where is the door?"
There was a rumbling sound from the depths of the secret room. When looking for the door, the "Professor" glanced at the Shiva sculpture inadvertently. Under the light of the torch, it showed a strange feeling.
Zhou Luoyang felt that Du Jing was holding his hand a little tighter, knowing that he had already made up his mind.
The mercenary captain led the youngest boy, while the "professor" led the botanist, and Du Jing led Zhou Luoyang, and divided into three groups.
Will the suspect be a "professor" or a "captain"
"I found the door," said the professor. "There's actually a keyhole here."
The keyhole is hidden in the pattern, and the botanist asked: "Have you played this secret room? I just looked for a long time and didn't find it."
The professor said, "No, that's pretty obvious isn't it?"
"This is so obvious!" Zhou Luoyang couldn't help laughing. They had checked the walls several times. If it wasn't for the constant reminder of the sound source in the secret room, no one would have noticed. Of course, he suspected that Du Jing had discovered it long ago, but he just didn't want to make it too obvious. Maybe the whole secret room would be as simple as kindergarten homework for him.
"The key," said the professor.
"I'm coming." The mercenary captain came over, opened the lock, and pushed the door. Inside was a long corridor with multiple forks separated by thin boards.
"I have a map," said the priest's prop, which also came in handy. "Follow me."
The narrow passage was very dark. Du Jing glanced at the luminous pointer on his watch. It had been an hour and 20 minutes before he entered. The "Professor" still held the college student in one hand, flashing a flashlight at the map.
"It's the only way," said the priest.
Du Jing said, "Did you take down your map?"
Everyone laughed, and the priest turned the map and found the way.
"What's written on the back?" Du Jing said again.
"Groot, why are your eyes so sharp?" the priest laughed.
Du Jing didn't answer, but noticed that there were words behind the map.
"Stand with those you choose," said the priest, "and the gods will send you where you should go."
Du Jingchao Zhou Luoyang said: "An ancient map of Khmer civilization, written in simplified Chinese characters, is very interesting."
Zhou Luoyang: "Will the King of Broken Stems also do business as usual in the secret room?"
The professor said, "Let's take a look first."
