0713: You who shine in the parallel world

The sound of the broadcast made the brothers hesitate about what to do now and whether they should continue to move forward.

Su Xing looked around at everyone with confused or thoughtful eyes. As the captain, he asked his brothers to retreat to the entrance of the secret passage so that they could run directly back to the secret passage at the slightest sign of trouble.

Then, he helped his team members sort out their thoughts:

"First, we have come to a work area that we are not supposed to be in. The hospital will send security guards to catch us. If we are caught, we will most likely be put in solitary confinement or have other bad consequences. We will not know until we are caught. So we have to avoid the sight of the staff here and find a way to leave here."

"Secondly, the 'rat' mentioned in the broadcast, no matter which one of us it is, his position should be against this nursing home. Our goal is to escape from the nursing home and expose everything here. So, he is actually on our side, and we should protect his identity."

"As for why we need to protect each other, it should be related to the third point. I got a piece of information in the previous game, that is, among us, there is a 'non-human' existence that is not recognized by Rule 3."

According to Su Xing, the "admission" rules they discovered in the early stage were set for all "patients" admitted to the nursing home, and were also written for players like them, so the rules described in the rules only apply to patients like them.

If patients are considered “people” in the eyes of the code, then what is considered “non-human”?

The answer is obvious: the nursing home staff.

At this time, Zhang Yuan also remembered a clue that he had forgotten to share with everyone before. That was the female ghost who played the hide-and-seek game with them and appeared in the ward at the beginning. She just hid but did not leave the room.

"So there were nine people in our eight-person room, but the caregiver was not triggered because there was a 'non-human' existence among us that was ignored by the rules?" Lu Hu suddenly felt that his brain was working again, "Just like what I said before, he is not a human!"

Su Xing nodded and patted Lu Hu's shoulder solemnly: "Hu Zi, you hit the jackpot by accident, which requires a lot of skills. Most people can't do it like you."

"I didn't stumble upon this by accident," Lu Hu poked his temple with his index finger, pretending to think hard. "In fact, I reasoned about it in my mind at the time, and the reasoning process was similar to what you just said, and I came to the conclusion that it was not a human."

"Haha, as long as you're happy." Su Xing smiled fakely.

Wang Zhengliang also thought of the clues they got during the mission, but he only selectively said the second half of the sentence: "We also got the same information at the time, saying 'they are not human'."

Of course Wang Yuexin knew what the complete words on the paper looked like. Seeing that Brother Xiaoliang had hidden the first half of the sentence, Wang Yuexin knew exactly what he was worried about, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Zhengliang looked at him trying to hold back his laughter and glared at the silly boy in confusion, "What are you laughing at? Isn't it? According to this statement, 'they' refers to the staff, or it could mean that there is someone from the nursing home lurking among us, right?"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Wang Yuexin nodded repeatedly. He didn't want to expose them, but seeing his familiar brothers trying so hard to play tricks was like watching acquaintances acting, and it was easy to laugh.

Seeing that everyone was gathered together and no one was paying attention to whether anyone was coming around, he decided to run to the corner to keep watch for his brothers.

Yu Yu and Zhang Yuan leaned against the wall side by side, as if the issues the adults were discussing had nothing to do with them.

"These are too complicated. These are not issues I should consider." Zhang Yuan shook his head and called Lu Hu, his half-brained brother who had sneaked into the adult group, to come over and wait for the results together.

It's enough to just guess it by luck. Brother, do you really think that people like us who share the same brain can join the Brainpower Bureau?

"Then Yu Yu, why are you hanging on the wall with us?" Lu Hu looked at Yu Yu in confusion.

"Anyone with brains should go over there." Zhang Yuan pulled Yu Yu and tried to get him to stand up.

Yu Yu turned over in disbelief: "Forget it, let them doubt each other and mess around with the time and materials. The director likes this and wants to see us tear each other apart. The ready-made program effect is here, and the editor will definitely be very happy to see it."

Director: ...cut out all the words that say Yu Yu at the beginning.

"Go ahead and guess. No one says a word. 'Rat' may not be good or bad. In the end, all the guesses may be in vain." Yu Yu shook his head, not knowing whether he was sighing or muttering to himself.

Chen Tansheng, who was standing in front of him, happened to hear these words.

As if inspired by something, Chen Qisheng suddenly thought of something and expressed his different views:

"What if that 'rat' is actually a 'non-human'? This possibility should exist."

Sure enough, although my eldest brother didn’t seem to be very interested in playing the escape room for the first time, he was very sharp. He could always see the essence of the problem and his mind worked very quickly.

This pillow, this wind blowing in my ear, I can immediately capture the deep information and draw inferences from it. It’s great to have a big brother around, thumbs up.jpg.

As a "non-human", Yu Yu knew that the "rat" was definitely not him, but other people didn't know. It was estimated that after hearing Chen Qisheng's alternative point of view, the "rat" himself became a little unconfident.

After all, the broadcast only revealed the existence of the "rats" and did not mention any information about the nursing home's own people. As a nursing home employee, it is reasonable for him to collect evidence and expose the nursing home's behavior because he felt guilty and could not stand it, right?

Of course, these are just Yu Yu’s guesses, he doesn’t know the specific identity and background of the “rat”.

The reason why he led Chen Xinsheng to draw such a conclusion was because it was not difficult to see from Su Xing's inference that he had no evidence to prove that the "rat" and the "non-human" were not the same person.

That's easy to handle. There's no need to find someone to take the blame. Just guide them in this direction.

While confusing the public, it can also whitewash the "non-human" identity by tying it to the "rat", killing two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, after Chen Qisheng made this guess, Su Xing and Wang Zhengliang fell into deep thought again.

Wang Yuexin, who was watching the surroundings and listening with one ear, couldn't help but break the deadlock when she heard this:

"Brothers, why bother about this? This is simple. Where are we now? The work area, not the patient area."

He raised his decorative glasses and grinned, "There is only one truth. Let's go collect evidence. There must be an archive room or something like that inside the nursing home, right? If there's someone from the nursing home among us, his file must be in the database."

"You're right. Without evidence, everything we speculate now is just empty talk." Wang Zhengliang also agreed with Wang Yuexin's proposal.

Yu Yu raised his hand and said, "And I'm quite concerned about the half-torn house rules. The other half is probably in this area. I think it should be able to provide us with some useful information."

Everyone nodded again, and Land Rover still had the half of the rules in his pocket.

With their next plan in mind, the brothers immediately began looking for the archive room.

The good news is that they found a sign at a fork in the road and found that the archive room was not far away and was just around the corner.

Bad news, there are quite a few uniformed security guards along the way.

The program team was thoughtful enough to put up an electronic screen map with the names of the rooms in the area marked on it. There were also moving red dots on the map, which represented the security guards.

We looked at the introduction at the bottom of the screen and immediately understood how to use this electronic map. As long as we enter the area ahead, we enter the electronic scanning area, and the coordinates of the characters will be updated synchronously on the map.

They were currently at the bottom, and according to the sign, they turned right and turned left at the end, and the archives room was at their upper right corner. But the security guards were patrolling back and forth on several forks along the way, and if they rushed up like this, they would definitely be caught on the spot.

But now with this map, it is much more convenient. The original purpose of this map is to help employees maintain normal work during curfew and prevent them from getting lost. When the lights are turned off, employees can use a portable tablet to determine their location in the dark.

Let’s ignore for the moment what kind of black-hearted capitalist enterprise is this nursing home that requires employees to work overtime so late at night and doesn’t even turn on the lights for them, and the fact that it has such high-end equipment but no surveillance, allowing these seven “patients” who sneaked in to wander around so carefree for so long without being caught, and a series of unreasonable settings that made Yu Yu want to kill crickets.

They can be divided into an action group and a command center. The action group enters the electronic scanning area and generates their own coordinates on the map, while the command center stays where it is and looks at the map to give early warnings. This way, the action group can successfully reach the archive room without alerting the security guards.

In fact, the regular guests of Escape Plan who had recorded this episode before also chose to do so.

But when it comes to the brothers of 0713——

"What a trouble." Wang Yuexin said with a little disgust.

"I feel that with my reaction, I can't be a member of the action team, nor can I join the command center." Lu Hu was very smart.

"Let me do it! I dream of becoming an ace agent!" Zhang Yuan's little universe was burning.

Su Xing looked at the map and chose to pat Wang Yuexin on the shoulder: "Indeed, we don't have to go through so much trouble."

"I can run fast, so why don't I just lead them away? Why bother with Mission Impossible?" Wang Yuexin greeted him confidently, just wait and see how he can get away from these little bastards.

Seeing how confident he was, Yu Yu couldn't bear it for a second, so she suddenly asked a question to hit his self-confidence: "So, have you memorized all the routes? Do you know where to run?"

Wang Yuexin's proud expression paused for a moment, and she immediately looked at the map: "I don't know, I didn't remember it, I didn't see it clearly, let's look at it again."

Yu Yu sighed, stepped forward and pointed out a route on the map: "Just run like this, remember this road, then turn left, turn left at the second intersection, and then turn right at the next intersection, go straight to the end, and you will be able to return to the previous secret passage. After you attract the security guards, just run, and I will help you cover the rest. I should be able to take some people away. If they can catch up with the two of us after we go around like this, I lose."

"That map?" Wang Yuexin pointed to the map with a bunch of forked roads on the screen.

Yu Yu raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile and tapped his head with his index finger: "Here it is."

Damn, he's pretending again.
