Chapter 43 A Crude Escape Pass

"There's nothing more to say about the past. This game must have stolen my memories and used them as a blueprint to create levels. Let's begin the investigation."

Ji Yi stood up, and the Data Eye continuously displayed a large amount of information.

What puzzle-solving, what escape room?

His eyes are practically superhuman; isn't this exactly what I wanted?
But Ji Yi had no intention of revealing this to others; the secrecy surrounding this matter far exceeded that of the extreme point-addition incident.

Having to navigate through levels with X-ray vision while pretending to be a pro is quite a challenge for Ji Yi.

Start!
He walked quickly to the door of the room.

Turn the handle; the door is locked.

Remove the crowbar.

boom!
The swift blow slammed into the door panel without even scratching the paint.

"The door is locked and the interior scene cannot be destroyed. This is a pure puzzle level, similar to an escape room."

After saying that, Ji Yi turned her head and asked, "Has Miss Cat played with it before?"

Miss Cat nodded: "I've played the live-action version in real life."

"That's good, having experience makes things easier."

"Yes, I later escaped and reported it to the police, and both criminals were caught."

"."

Ji Yi wanted to slap herself twice.

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing, it happened a long time ago."

The two remained silent for the rest of the time, each searching for clues.

Ji Yi looked toward the corner of the room, where there was a locked safe.

What's inside the safe? How would I know? Why don't you open it and take a look?

The password is 049827. Don't say I didn't help you.

"."

Since entering the eleventh floor, the Eye of Data has started to act strangely.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that his eyes were no longer under his control.

The original sense of freedom to access and browse at will has now become: whatever it displays, I can only see.

[You're disgusted with me? This is the truly awakened, perfect state of the Data Eye; the original was just a basic version. For example, could the original Data Eye achieve something like the purple lining of Miss Cat's dress?]

"I don't want to know anything about that."

Ji Yi muttered to herself, glancing at Miss Cat.

The top is also purple, a matching set with lace trim.

"Damn it, can't you be serious for once?"

Ji Yi was very uncomfortable with the sudden change in her eyes.

He shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off the words in front of him.

“Ji Yi, there’s an octagonal indentation here.”

Miss Cat pointed to the floor next to the bedside table.

"Then I also discovered this."

She held up several tangram puzzle pieces in her hand:
"Looks like you have to collect them and then piece them together, it's a really boring game. Did you have one of these at home before?"

"No, it must be the work of the Magic Tower. I'll help you find the puzzle pieces."

"Ah."

The two began to rummage through the drawers.

Don't waste your time. Once you've pieced it together, a hidden compartment will pop out, containing a note with the safe's combination. I suggest you just go for it. Okay, so you're trying to hide the existence of my overpowered cheat code.

Remember to check the seams in the wall near the wardrobe; there's one that's hidden quite deep.

Ji Yi ignored it.

I carefully searched the bedside table, inside the lampshade, and under the carpet.

Next, he tried to communicate with his eyes:
"What do 'cultists of evil gods' and 'games of gods' mean? Does it refer to the dungeon settings of the Demon Tower, or does it involve the essence of hyperdimensional games?"

I prefer to interpret images, but since you're staring at the carpet, that's all I can give you:

[Having weathered many storms, it has many suspicious spots.]

Ji Yi abruptly withdrew her hand.

Who knows what kind of messy, dirty stuff is on this.

anyway.

This place is indeed just like the house in the real world.

Apart from some changes, most details were restored very realistically, even those that Ji Yi had never noticed before were exactly the same as the real situation.

Twenty minutes later, the two found all the tangram pieces.

It took another five minutes to fill the groove.

With a "click," the floor tile popped up, revealing a slip of paper with a six-digit number written on it.

"It's the safe's combination. I'll open it."

Picking up the note, Ji Yi walked to the safe, and with a few beeps, the safe opened.

It should have contained some valuable gold and silver, cash, and property deeds, etc.

At this moment, however, it has turned into a black invitation.

[The evil god's invitation: "Believe in Him, serve Him, and dedicate everything you have to Him."]

[Tip: This item will be used later in the game, but it is not related to the escape room segment.]

"Don't you have a key?"

Miss Cat asked.

She walked up and examined the somewhat eerie black invitation:

"This is a quest item, but it's strange that it can be taken out of the instance, which means it might not be an item for conquering the Magic Tower."

"Miss Cat, may I have this invitation?"

"Well, since it concerns your family, you can keep it."

Ji Yi put away the invitation: "Then let's continue looking for other clues."

"it is good."

Three minutes later.

This is a boring escape game, nothing more than a tedious time-killing exercise. The designers are truly incompetent; it's utterly devoid of fun.

Let me give you a hint: there's a hidden compartment on the second shelf of the bedside table in front of you. The key inside can open the drawers in the wardrobe.

Ji Yi didn't waste any time.

He quickly took out the key.

"Miss Cat, this key should be used to open the locked drawer in the wardrobe."

"It was hidden in a hidden compartment."

Open the drawer inside the wardrobe.

Inside is a spherical lock, and you can see the door key hidden inside.

[Don't doubt it, this is the key to unlocking the 11th floor.]

"Miss Cat, I feel that this level is designed very simply, as if it was set up temporarily."

"Hmm," Miss Cat pondered.

"Indeed, this is different from the Demon Tower levels I've encountered before. Was this created specifically for you? What exactly is that invitation?"

"I don't know either, I just have a vague guess. The evil god my mother worshipped back then seems to be related to this hyperdimensional game. Today's level feels like someone is deliberately telling me this information."

"Um"

Miss Cat seems to be thinking about something.

"Let's focus on clearing the game first; we're just one step away from finishing it."

Ji Yi had no experience with Kongming locks, but she spent half an hour figuring it out.

"It's so hard to untangle."

"Let me do it."

Miss Cat took it.

Click click click.

It was untied in no time.

Ji Yi: "No, I didn't know that."

"Yes."

"Then why don't you help me solve it?"
