0713: You who shine in the parallel world

After being given a warning at the beginning of the game, the seven people calmed down and began to explore the surrounding environment.

Zhang Yuan is now very sure that although Yu Yu has never played an escape room or been to a haunted house, he is an iron tank like Su Xing, who has a high-energy warning function, so he is now sticking to Yu Yu's side all the time.

This room that can accommodate seven people is surprisingly large. The weak light of the handheld night lamp on the table cannot illuminate every corner of the room, and it cannot even illuminate the entire table for eight people.

"What kind of micro-horror show is this? Whose micro-horror show has a female ghost sticking to your face right at the start, and there's only one light for seven people." Lu Hu complained, feeling that he had given his true feelings to the program crew in vain.

Due to limited light sources, the seven people temporarily gathered at the corner of the table where Yu Yu and Su Xing were sitting and began to discuss what to do next.

According to the introduction of this psychiatric nursing home, this private nursing home is quite famous locally. Many only children are busy working and have no time to take care of the elderly at home with hidden illnesses or Alzheimer's disease, so most of them are willing to send their parents here.

It was originally a high-end welfare institution, but there were unknown secrets hidden behind it. The elderly who were sent in never appeared again.

"The core mission is that we have to escape from here successfully. This is a consensus, right?" Su Xing quickly sorted out the logic. "If we can discover the secret behind this nursing home while ensuring that everyone survives and escapes, that would be even better. This is the main mission."

The others nodded. After all, escape from a secret room is inseparable from the "secret room" and "escape", and everything else is just to embellish the plot.

"Now, we have to find a way to leave this room, right? The iron door must be locked. The normal development is that we have to find the puzzle to decipher and unlock it."

Wang Yuexin raised his glasses which served as a decoration for his appearance. It's no wonder that with his appearance and glasses, he had the temperament of an intellectual but a beast in human clothing.

Chen Qisheng suddenly had an idea and took an unconventional approach: "No, why do we have to solve puzzles? Yu, did you see where the female ghost retreated from just now?"

"I know, it's right there, there is a secret door." Yu Yu pointed casually, with such a casual attitude as if he was answering an old man asking which way to the vegetable market.

The director team who had been staring at the surveillance camera: Huh?

"Hahahahahaha!" In this eerie atmosphere, the other five people laughed so hard that it almost made people think this was a talk show instead of a haunted house.

"Can you please respect the director team's arrangements and designs? That's an employee channel, not a player channel!" Su Xing slammed the table angrily, scolding the two table-turning players who were trying to take a shortcut.

"It's fine if you two don't understand the rules of the game, but one of you actually dares to ask and the other dares to answer, hahahaha!" Wang Yuexin laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. "Let's just walk out of the employee passage and quickly pass through Mi Tao Mental Nursing Home. It's over as soon as we start."

"In fact, I think we can indeed remember the location of each secret door, so that we can infer where monsters will spawn in the future."

Wang Zhengliang, a veteran console game player, thinks that Yu Yu’s “night vision” skill is very useful. If they can remember all the secret doors, they won’t have to worry about monsters appearing in their faces.

"And if you can't go any further and end up in a dead end, you can open a secret door and take a shortcut, right?" Su Xing said with a smile.

Lu Hu shook his head quickly: "No, this door cannot be opened casually. The employee passage is full of NPC teachers. If you open the door, wow, seven or eight teachers will all look up at you behind the door..."

"No, no, I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry. I was wrong, wrong, wrong." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan immediately waved his hands and apologized in the direction of the secret door that Yu Yu had just pointed to.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I'll kowtow to you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Hu also bowed to the secret door with him.

It seems that the person who carries this game has not appeared yet, but sorry, all the players have already appeared, and there are two of them.

The method of taking the secret door to find another way out didn't work, so they could only start searching the room according to the rules of the game.

"Brothers, there is only one night light at the moment. I think this light should be in the hands of someone who is brave, careful, and steady, so as to avoid being startled and breaking the light, or turning around and running away with the light. That would definitely not be appropriate, right? So I'll take this light first."

Su Xing picked up the night light.

"Are you sure that if you hold it, you won't be excited to approach and chat with an NPC dressed as a ghost if you meet him?" Yu Yuxu looked at him with a frown.

"He will, this guy will for sure, Yuyu, if I were you I would grab the light."

Zhang Yuan said that he could even imagine the scene where after the NPC teacher appeared, Su Xing would move forward alone with a lamp, while a group of them would frantically retreat into the darkness and hide behind Yu Yu and Sheng Ge.

"Hey, don't fight over who owns the lamp. Take the lamp over here and have a look. There's something here. It looks like an iron cage. I can't see it clearly."

While others were still deciding who owned the night light, Wang Yuexin had already explored the edge of the light and touched an iron cage half a person's height, but without light, he could not see clearly what it was.

Su Xing walked forward with the lamp, and as the yellow light dispelled the darkness, the full picture of the iron cage appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at what was in front of them, everyone's face changed.

It was an iron bed with dirty-looking sheets and quilt covers, and straps and bed links that had been used for who knows how long and had turned rusty and yellow. These straps, used to tie people to beds, were common in mental hospitals.

The cold, mottled iron railings covered the entire bed from head to toe. The iron cage was welded shut at the head and foot of the bed, leaving only a sliding door on the side for people to get in.

Once people go in, the iron railings outside will be completely locked.

It is difficult to tell whether this is an iron cage built on the bed or a hard bed placed in the iron cage.

But what is certain is that this is the accommodation environment of this nursing home.

It is curfew time now and they are in the dormitory. If nothing goes wrong, there are still six such "beds".

For a moment, everyone felt uncomfortable.

"No wonder we have to flee from here. If my children spent a lot of money to send me to a private nursing home, but in fact I lived in a seven-person room instead of a single room, and the bed was not ergonomically designed but an iron cage like this, I would definitely fly over the insane asylum overnight."

Su Xing suddenly joked, easing the atmosphere at the right time.

"The case has been solved. The old guys in our dormitory were dissatisfied with their accommodation conditions and decided to escape collectively to ask the nursing home to return their money. However, the black-hearted director did not want us to expose the incident or return the money, so he asked the employees whose hobbies were dancing to dress up as female ghosts to scare us. We, a group of old guys with weak hearts, were frightened to death and he could directly blame it on mental illness."

Yu Yu also added as he did.

The production team likes to do some clever things. They set the air conditioning temperature to the lowest at the beginning, and then create some atmosphere and give some psychological hints.

People tend to get nervous in a cold, silent and dark environment, so Su Xing and Yu Yu acted like a double act to liven up the atmosphere for the group of brothers.

"Then in order to expose the evil deeds, we should escape as soon as possible." Wang Zhengliang said. He had already accepted Yu Yu's nonsense story background. It was better than thinking about other horror aspects.

"Actually..." Chen Hesheng, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly said, "Is this an eight-person room? There was a chair next to me just now."

Seven people, eight chairs, eight beds.

"So we have another roommate in this room?" Wang Yuexin looked around. After getting used to the dimness, her eyes could see the vague shapes in the darkness farther away.

"No, no, no, don't be such a pessimist. Even if it's an eight-person room, no one says that one bed can't be empty." Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu's faces were filled with rejection of their roommates. They were very loners, and a dormitory for seven people was just right. One more person wouldn't do!

"Or maybe that bed actually belongs to the dancing girl?" Yu Yu tilted his head.

"Shut up!" Zhang Yuan got furious.

In fact, it is very simple to prove this point. You will know it after taking a walk around.

The seven of them gathered together, and Su Xing held the lamp and walked slowly around. Although the room was large, there was no furniture, except for the table in the middle, and there were only eight iron cage beds against the walls.

The eighth bed was facing the first bed they found, and there was a shadowy figure sleeping on it.

When Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu saw the ups and downs in the iron cage bed, their minds went blank and they stood there as if they were about to break.

They really had a roommate, and no one knew how long that roommate had been lying there.

Su Xing and Wang Yuexin took the lamp and decided to go forward to take a look, while Yu Yu stayed where he was to look after the other brothers.

The two of them took a closer look, and Yu Yudu saw Su Xing patting the other person, but the other person did not move at all. So they had to give up and return to their brothers.

The person lying on the bed is a real person, also an "old man" - an NPC wearing a white wig and beard and dressed up as an old man. But he seems to be asleep, or it's not the plot trigger point yet, so there is no response when calling him now.

Yu Yu touched his chin and said, "Actually, there is one thing that I am quite concerned about. Just now, when we came in, the radio said that it was curfew time and that we should not make noise and disturb others. What did that mean?"

"They can't just give us a bunch of crap."

Wang Zhengliang thought for a moment: "But from the time we saw the ghost girl until now, we have been shouting and laughing, and have been making a lot of noise, right? But nothing has been triggered? Are we missing some key point?"

"The thing that was missed should be in this room. It's either on the bed, the table, or on the wall. There is no other furniture here." Yu Yu nodded.

After hearing this, Chen Xiansheng began to look around and searched. On the wall in front of him, he vaguely saw something.

"Xing, fish, this way."

Su Xing and Yu Yu came to him with light sources.

On the wall, there is a bulletin board with the "Mitao Psychiatric Nursing Home Admission Rules" posted on it.

"To ensure your safe and comfortable living environment, please keep the following instructions in mind and strictly abide by them.

The following guidelines are absolutely correct guidelines summarized based on the experience of several generations of Mi Tao Psychiatric Nursing Home.

1、米涛精神病养老院宵禁时间为22：00-6：00，为照顾部分精神衰弱的客人，请勿大声喧哗。

2、早中晚三餐时间固定为6：30、12：00、17：30，供应时间均为90分钟，请合理分配用餐时间。

3. A single room can only accommodate one person, a double room must accommodate two people, a triple room must not accommodate more than three people, a quadruple room must not accommodate less than two people, a sextuple room must accommodate less than six people, and an occupant room must have eight people.

4. There are no elderly people in Mitao Psychiatric Nursing Home. If you find any elderly people, please remain calm and contact the nearest medical staff for treatment.

... "

The content behind was torn off manually.

Several people were confused by this so-called code of conduct, especially the fourth rule. There were no elderly people in the nursing home, so how come their roommate was an elderly person who appeared in front of them?

And why did he stay calm and inform the medical staff? Would there be any bad consequences if he knew that they discovered he was an elderly person?

"Ahem, hey, what are you guys doing gathered there so late at night instead of sleeping?" An old voice came from the roommate's bed.

Zhang Yuan, who was originally immersed in his own imagination, almost cried out when he heard the voice, but fortunately he held it back.

He hugged Land Rover together and quickly retreated behind the two iron tanks, Yumao and Mao, trembling.
