In an escape game...

Chapter 141 Nightmare Contagion Source

Yun Xubai's ranking is too eye-catching, it's hard for players who have read the comprehensive rankings not to notice him, except for Qi Lue, other players are also very surprised to meet him in person.

"I started to pay attention to you as soon as you appeared on the leaderboard. You rushed very fast and had a strong momentum. I thought you were a big man or a calm middle-aged man..." The girl with a high ponytail approached Yun Xubai, her red lips curled up: "I didn't expect him to be a handsome young man."

The sweet smell of the girl's perfume lingered on the tip of her nose, Yun Xubai distanced herself a little from her, and said softly, "I don't think achievements have anything to do with appearance and age."

"That's right, the key to this game depends on the brain." The girl with the high ponytail took the initiative to get closer, leaned over to look into Yun Xubai's eyes, and smiled even more happily: "Your ears are red, can't you be shy?"

Yun Xubai touched his ears, he was really hot, he pursed his lips, and brought the topic back to the main topic: "Don't waste time, report your ID."

Qilue sneered: "I was molested by an npc just now, and then by a player, can you let us brother Xu go, he looks underage at first sight."

"Then let's get down to business first," the girl with the high ponytail blinked her eyes: "My ID is 'Show to Fly', you can call me Aqi, and the ID of the red hair is 'Trash Roll', both of us It's level 14."

Hongmao greeted him familiarly: "Just call me Hongmao."

Qilue: "Your ids are so arrogant."

After several people exchanged IDs and confirmed each other's player identities, the atmosphere became a little more harmonious.

They were about to search for props, but the lights in the corridor went out without warning, and the surroundings were so dark that they couldn't see their fingers.In the darkness, the senses become extremely sensitive, all sounds are continuously amplified, and even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly.

Qilue swallowed, and asked in a low voice: "The phone won't turn on, it's not because I'm blind, but because the lights are off, right? Can you still see things?"

He Xue said coldly: "The lights are off, I'm a half-ghost, and I can see a blurred outline."

Yun Xubai took out the red umbrella and said in a deep voice: "There is a flashlight on the cabinet, He Xue took me to find it, you stay where you are and stay vigilant."

He Xue agreed, held Yun Xubai's umbrella, and led the way.

The two of them had just taken two steps when a woman's cry suddenly sounded somewhere in the corridor. It was shrill and miserable, scratching people's eardrums one after another.

With He Xue leading the way, Yun Xubai quickly found the cabinet he remembered. He touched the edge of the cabinet and searched for the flashlight according to his memory.

When his fingertips touched a cold and stiff object, Yun Xubai grasped it, and suddenly felt that the touch was not right.

The "flashlight" seemed to move, and something sharp scratched Yun Xubai's palm lightly, like long fingertips.

He Xue glanced at it intently, and her scalp went numb: "It's a hand, let go!"

Yun Xubai also guessed it, he didn't shake off that hand, but squeezed the other's wrist joint and folded it forcefully.

There was a crisp bone breaking sound in the darkness, and the cold touch on Yun Xubai's hand disappeared instantly.

He Xue just happened to capture that scene, and it hurt to hear the voice: "Fast and ruthless, as expected of you."

Yun Xubai successfully got the flashlight, pressed the switch, and a beam of cold light pierced the darkness, illuminating his left face brightly. He slowly flapped his eyelashes, not as gentle as someone who would break the wrists of evil spirits.

Seeing the light, all players breathed a sigh of relief.Qilue raised his voice and asked, "Brother Xu, what did you touch just now? Are you all right?"

"I touched a ghost's hand," He Xue replied for Yun Xubai: "But you should worry about whether that ghost is okay."

Qilue: "...you are right."

Yun Xubai took a flashlight and scanned around, but couldn't find the ghost.So I opened the drawer and rummaged through to see if there were any props I could use.

The things in the drawer are messy, but there are only two things that have hints, namely an insulating tape and a wire with a plug, Yun Xubai put them into the backpack.

The other three gathered towards the light source, and Qilue frowned worriedly: "Looking for clues with a flashlight is slow and unsafe."

"You're right, so go find the switch now." Yun Xubai already had a map of the corridor in his mind, so he could easily find the location of the switch. He touched the cover of the switch and got a prompt:

[Line failure caused power outage, seems to require repairs to restore power. ]

Yun Xubai opened the switch to check and saw a broken wire.

Qilue complained: "To play this game, you need to master electrician skills!"

"Don't think too much, as long as you use the right props, there is no requirement for technology." Yun Xubai took out the insulating tape he had just found, and prepared to connect the broken wires.

"Brother Xu, where did you get the tape? Are you Doraemon?" Qilue was worried for a while, and said in a rambling manner: "What if you connect the wires with your bare hands, what if you get electrified into an exploding head?"

"Forget about human food, and talkative." He Xue patted the back of Qilue's head: "Quiet."

Qilue shut up aggrievedly.

Yun Xu quickly connected the wires, and after a burst of noise, the corridor was powered back on.

The chandelier kept shaking, and the light spot was erratic. Several people looked at the corridor in front of them, and they were all startled.

The expression on Qilue's face froze: "The corridor is completely different from before! We couldn't be transferred to another space in the dark!"

Yun Xubai put the flashlight and umbrella into his backpack, his eyes darkened: "The structure and area have not changed, only a new round of the game has officially started."

[Task step two: Escape from the second secret room. ]

[Hint: The L-shaped corridor is only part of the Chamber of Secrets. ]

[The time limit is one hour, the countdown begins. ]

[01:00:00]

The time is double that of the last chamber, which means this round is tricky.

As Chillo said, after the lighting was restored, the environment of the corridor changed.The graffiti on the wall is still there, and there are three palm-shaped dents beside the water tank, and there are five iron chairs underneath, which are stained with rust and suspicious bloodstains.On the right wall is an old nine-square storage box. Each box has a circular groove. There is no handle or combination lock, and it cannot be opened with bare hands.

In addition, there are two more tables and a pile of dilapidated life-size dolls. Each doll is a smiling face, which looks particularly creepy under the floating lights.

"The most important clues may be in the storage box. We need to find the password of the storage box. Search for clues in different areas, pick up all the clues that can be stored in the backpack, and first decipher the ones that can be deciphered independently. Hurry up," Yun Xubai looked calm, and spoke quickly and clearly: "There must be ghosts lurking in this space, pay attention to safety."

After the words fell, several people dispersed tacitly and searched separately.

Yun Xubai searched all the way, and found a screwdriver and a small suitcase with a combination lock.

[The box is locked, what is locked inside? ]

Small suitcases cannot store backpacks, and the password is a five-digit scroll wheel letter.

Five digits, that's the point.

"Here is a box with a five-digit password. Find any clues related to five and tell me." After exchanging news with his teammates, Yun Xubai temporarily put down the small suitcase and continued to look for props.

Soon, he found an abandoned radio among the debris.

[This radio is missing some parts. ]

Yun Xubai picked up the radio and asked his teammates: "Has anyone found the parts of the radio?"

"Yes! I just found a shell and some screws." Qilue came to Yun Xubai with the things.

Yun Xubai assembled the radio with a screwdriver, and took out a wire that he picked up earlier from his backpack. After comparing it, it happened to work.

When plugged in, the indicator light on the radio came on.

"Why is there no response?" Quillo said, "The radio is assembled, shouldn't it give us new clues?"

"There is one thing missing." Yun Xubai pressed the switch of the radio, and it immediately rang with a loud electrical sound, mixed with the creepy cry of a child.

Qilue trembled all over: "Damn it, scare me, why don't you shut it down."

Yun Xubai looked at the radio over and over again, his fingertips stopped on a certain button of the radio, and he had a flash of inspiration: "I see, it's the channel. Only when you tune to a specific channel will you get clues, and then look for the channel number."

"I think what you want is hidden here," Ah Qi pointed to the drawer in front of him and interjected, "but this drawer is locked."

He Xue threw a key to Ah Qi: "I just found it, let's see if I can open it."

Ah Qi caught the key, opened the drawer smoothly, and found a small book with messy words written on it:

"The radio is out of order. Every midnight, it will jump to FM444, and there will be a horrible sound! I checked, and there is no such channel at all. The sound in the middle of the night must be a ghost... I have to dismantle this radio!"

"I hid the radio, but the voice got into my head...what to do, what to do, what to do..."

After reading it, A Qi got goosebumps, threw the notebook back, and said to Yun Xubai: "The channel is FM444, but this radio seems a bit weird, be careful."

"Okay." Yun Xubai adjusted the channel, and the cry of the child on the radio disappeared, replaced by a woman's shrill laughter.

"You're finally here...you're finally here..."

The voice kept repeating the same sentence, echoing in the secret room, after Yun Xubai heard it, he immediately unplugged it.

"You're finally here...you're finally here..."

After the radio was turned off, the voice did not disappear, as it said in the book, the voice seemed to be able to penetrate into people's brains.

Qilue covered his ears: "Cao, I almost don't understand this sentence after hearing this, I feel so irritable."

Yun Xubai tapped the radio with a screwdriver: "If you don't shut up, I'll take you apart and throw you into the water tank."

"Welcome to the show, and we'll see you next time." The radio died.

"Can it still be like this???" Qilue has increased his knowledge, and he looks like he has learned, and his courage has also grown a little: "Why don't you call her out again and give a clearer clue? abstraction."

"No, I already know the password." Yun Xubai said casually: "In this kind of game, the number of digits in the password is very important. As long as the digits match, a seemingly unrelated sentence may also be a password. Just now How many words are there?"

Qi Lue counted: "Five words."

"What is the five-digit password here?" Yun Xubai asked again.

Qilue always felt that he had heard the word "five" somewhere, and after thinking about it, his eyes lit up: "Little suitcase!"

Qilue brought the small suitcase over and put it in front of Yun Xubai.

Yun Xubai directed him: "Try typing the first letter of the pinyin of that sentence."

Qi Lue nervously slid his Adam's apple, input "NZYLL", and the small suitcase automatically opened with a clear unlocking sound.

"The password is correct!" Qilue picked up a page from the box and showed it to Yun Xubai: "I know where the password is."

A nine-square grid was drawn on that piece of paper, and several eye-catching crosses were drawn on some of the grids.

The only thing related to Jiugongge in the corridor is the storage box, so even a player with rough nerves like Qilue can think of it.

Yun Xubai touched the storage box and got a prompt:

[It seems that you need several eyes to open this special lock. ]

Qilue: "It's eyes again!"
