Judgment Game Survival Guide

Shi Qi and Xuan Mu brought the last plane into the warehouse, and the cumulative number of food supplies remained 6 times. The two people on the opposite side also moved quickly to finish their lunch and began to report the morning's exploration results.

"We finished dismantling the picture frame, and only found this." Ling Luo took out a coin from her bag and handed it over.

Shi Qi took it over and looked it over carefully, only to see a huge star engraved on it, with a strange golden luster all over it.

"No more?" he asked.

Ling Luo shook her head: "We've searched for everything we could, but there really isn't anything."

Shi Qi lined up the clues at hand on the table, flipped through his notebook, focused his eyes on the clockwork that Ling Luo had found earlier, and pondered for a while.

"Go and see the safe that you searched before," he handed the clockwork to Ling Luo, "there should be a hole for the clockwork hidden in it."

The two agreed without wasting time, and went straight to the room where the safe was placed earlier.

After a while, Ling Luo and Li Kuangyu returned to the chain link fence with a shocked expression, holding the key and the gramophone respectively.

"You...how did you know there was a clockwork hole?" Li Kuangyu handed the phonograph and the key to Shi Qi.Although he had already seen Ji Qi's excellent reasoning ability in the first round of the game, he still couldn't help admiring him at this moment.

"It's only such a small place, it must be because some clues have been missed," Shi Qi only picked up the phonograph, "Isn't there a small locked room over there, this key should be used to open it. door."

"Oh...oh." Li Kuangyu nodded.

Shi Qi lowered his head and fiddled with the phonograph: "Ah Xuan."

"Here we come." Xuan Mu tacitly handed over the tapes he had found earlier, and sat beside him.

Shi Qi fiddled with the antenna on his own, and after a long while, he glanced suspiciously at the two people who were standing there, "Go and open the door."

"Take the walkie-talkie with you too." Xuanmu reminded them.

"Ah...Okay, okay!" The two came back to their senses, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, hurriedly responded and walked towards the long corridor.

After putting the tape into the phonograph, the speaker began to emit a whistling electric current, and then a mechanical human voice sounded along with the electric current, which became clearer from small to loud.

Xuan Mu carefully identified the content of the human voice reading for a while. It seemed to be an unknown language, a bit like English, and it was not a specific word or sentence.

"...What are you talking about?" Xuan Mu frowned tightly.

In the background of the human voice, there was a faint beeping sound. After turning the volume to the maximum, Shi Qi took the Morse code form he had found earlier from the table, "There is a code."

Xuan Mu clearly took out a pen and paper from his bag.

The two listened intently for a while, trying to record the content, until the third time the audio was played, Shi Qi finally put down the pen with a sigh.

"Don't be sad." Xuan Mu's right hand was still writing down on the paper, while his left hand was hanging down while Qi was holding them together, comforting softly.

Who would have thought that he would encounter the listening part that Shi Qi is not good at—it's not that he is not good at it, it's just that he has some resistance to this kind of English listening, and it's easy to get sleepy when he listens.

"No," Shi Qi gently squeezed Xuan Mu's knuckles, intertwined with his fingers, "I'm afraid you'll be confused."

"No," Xuan Mu said with a smile, "No one has ever done better than me in taking notes."

Shi Qi laughed, stretched his arms and took the walkie-talkie over, waiting for the call from the other side to pass on clues.

He inadvertently hooked his fingers around Xuan Mu's knuckles, rubbed his ring finger around it, and silently recorded the data in his mind.

Xuan Mu was concentrating on drawing dots on the paper, and trying to transliterate the content of the human voice, but he didn't seem to notice his movements.

After a while, the walkie-talkie 'beep' sounded as promised.

"The door opened," Li Kuangyu said as he walked forward, "This is like a craft room... There are a lot of fitter's tools on the workbench, as well as some documents and photos," Li Kuangyu paused , "There is a photo frame on the table with a picture of a clown inside."

Shi Qi hummed: "It should be useful, bring it back."

"it is good."

"Search more carefully, don't miss anything," Shi Qi had some thoughts in his heart, and then asked, "Go to the workbench and see what tools are there."

The other side answered.

After searching for a while, Li Kuangyu picked up the walkie-talkie again: "There are pliers, a hacksaw, and others I can't recognize."

Shi Qi asked, "Do you have parallel pliers, files, etc.?"

Li Kuangyu: "...what are parallel pliers?"

Xuan Mu's pen paused, and looked at Shi Qi suspiciously, "Why do you need parallel pliers?"

"Hmm..." Shi Qi paused for a few seconds, "In case you need to pick the lock later, it's more convenient to take some small tools."

Xuan Mu let out an "Oh" and nodded.

"Bring them all back," Shi Qi then said to Li Kuangyu, "Bring them back and watch them slowly."

Li Kuangyu responded, turned off the power of the walkie-talkie, and returned to the room after a while.

Shi Qi took the pile of fitter tools, rummaged through it for a while, and picked out the things he needed. Xuan Mu then translated the recorded Morse code, and found that the contents were just a bunch of letters with unknown meanings.

Shi Qi first took the note and looked at it.

"I memorized it according to the transliteration," Xuan Mu said, "but I still don't understand it."

"Where's the password?" Shi Qi asked.

"The password is also a bit strange," Xuan Muchang sighed and leaned his whole body on the chair, "some of them don't match the ones in the translation table."

Shi Qi put down his notes and began to study the photo frame first.

"We have also read the documents in the craft room...they are similar to those we saw before." Li Kuangyu said to him.

Most of the files scattered in every corner of the game have no specific meaning, but since important clues may be hidden in them, you still have to browse them all.

Shi Qi removed the back of the photo frame and looked it over carefully for a while, but found no relevant password or text, it seemed that it was really just an ordinary photo.

Xuan Mu rested his chin on Shi Qi's shoulder, looked at it together with him, and fished out a piece of chocolate from Shi Qi's pocket, "No idea?"

"Yes," Shi Qi thought for a while, stroking the back of the photo with his fingers, "Is the flashlight you picked up earlier still there?"

Xuan Mu nodded, turned around, took out the flashlight he found in the corridor from his bag, and handed it to him.

Shi Qi fiddled with the flashlight switch for a while, and lightly twisted the tail of the barrel, the light at the front began to turn blue, and finally turned into a purple light path.

He aimed the light path at the photo, and after a while, the looming numbers appeared on the back of the original blank.

"4567." Shi Qi shook the photo in his hand towards him.

"It should be the bronze door with the lock, right?" Xuan Mu took a bite out of the chocolate package, looked up at the time, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, "Shall we go now?"

"No...it's too late now, it's easy to be trapped in the corridor, I'll go tomorrow morning." Shi Qi got up and came to the food supply window, wanting to raise his hand to press the button.

"Hey," Li Kuangyu quickly stopped Shi Qi, "the number of food rations is not enough now, I discussed it with Ling Luo, and we can eat one serving tonight."

Shi Qi hesitated for a while, then nodded, and the number of rations immediately changed from '6' to '3'.

Xuan Mu finished the chocolate in two or three bites, and then came to Shi Qi's side: "That code...do you see anything?"

"No," Shi Qi shook his head, "but I have a guess."

Xuanmu: "What?"

"Let's watch it later, eat first." Shi Qi Huayin paused, staring at the corner of his mouth for a long time.

"Huh?" Xuan Mu turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Shi Qi raised his hand to gently grab Xuan Mu's chin, wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and stretched out his tongue to lick the chocolate off his fingertips, "It's stained."

Xuan Mu blinked, and looked back with some guilt.

Li Kuangyu stared at them for a while with some suspicion, while Ling Luo seemed to be used to it long ago, watching their actions indifferently.

Shi Qi calmly passed the dinner to Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo, and sat down at the table with Xuan Mu.

After finishing the last piece of braised beef rice, Shi Qi turned on the gramophone again, and after listening for a while, he expressed his guess, "This... I guess we have to look at it the other way around."

Xuan Mu was startled, and immediately realized: "You mean... playing backwards?"

Shi Qi nodded, and used a pen to separate the contents written down by Xuan Mu one by one, and compared them with the Morse code table for a while, "If you translate it upside down, the password is '19000101'."

Xuan Mu asked: "Date?"

"Well," Shi Qi added a few words on the timeline in his notebook, "According to the timeline, the girl is probably 20 years old."

"Then...shall I try to listen to those human voices again?" Xuan Mu turned up the volume of the phonograph, "It's a bit difficult to play people's heads backwards."

"How about I come and listen?" Shi Qi said.

"No, I'll come." Xuan Mu took the paper and pen, "Go and see if there are any breakthroughs in other clues."

Shi Qi didn't say much, and nodded.

Xuan Mu tried to translate the vocal content by combining the transliteration written earlier, while Shi Qi casually flipped through the clues at hand, then picked up the parallel pliers and nuts, sat aside and began to polish.

After playing it more than a dozen times, Xuan Mu almost vomited, and only then did he translate the content in sevens and eights.

The moment he put down the pen, Shi Qi also stopped, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's a news report," Xuan Mu handed over the notebook. "On January 1900, 1, a major fire broke out in the Circus Paradise. The entire stage and basement were burned down, and one person died."

Shi Qi seemed to think of something, "Didn't you say last time that you saw the girl burned to death on the cross?"

"Yes," Xuan Mu said, "Have you noticed that we didn't seem to see the window during the whole game."

Shi Qi nodded.

"So I suspect that the two of us are now in the basement of that circus paradise." Xuan Mu guessed.

"Well," Shi Qi thought for a while, "We are now on the first basement floor, and the second basement floor is probably the floor where Ling Luo and Li Kuangyu are located. What conditions should be triggered before we can go upstairs."
