Cook in full swing in an escape game

"The thing I hate the most is mice."

Zhou Muchen uttered these words weakly and closed his eyes. The scene of mice all over the ground just now was too exciting for him, and he would feel dizzy just thinking about it.

Seeing his half-dead appearance, Lin Sheng asked, "Do you have any psychological shadow about the mouse?"

Rats are indeed not attractive, but ordinary people's disgust towards rats is far from enough to pass out on the spot, not to mention Zhou Muchen's calm personality, it is even more abnormal.

Zhou Muchen's face was pale, but it was slightly better than before. He slowed down and said:

"When I was a child, a mouse bit off a toe."

what? !

Both Lin Sheng and Zheng Yuzhe's eyes widened. They never expected Zhou Muchen to have such an experience.

If this is the case, then Zhou Muchen would be so frightened and fainted when he saw a mouse, it would be easy to understand, but...

Lin Sheng helped Zhou Muchen up silently, and at the same time quietly looked at him.

Zhou Muchen used the word "when I was young", which meant that my guess about his age was correct. However, Lin Sheng is more concerned about why he was bitten by a mouse than the question of age. ? ?

In modern society, people's living conditions have been greatly improved. Even if they see mice occasionally, they seldom hear of mice biting people.

And Zhou Muchen was still a child when he was bitten, which is even more strange.

Where are his parents?Why didn't he take good care of him, and even let him suffer such a serious injury and become disabled?

Unexpectedly, there is still no definite answer about Zhou Muchen's age, and there are more doubts surrounding him.

However, right now is not a good time to discuss this issue, so Lin Sheng handed Zhou Muchen over to Zheng Yuzhe to take care of him, while he walked towards the broken sofa.

After experiencing the test of the rat plague, Lin Sheng still insisted on that view——the key is in the sofa.

Just in case, Lin Sheng first brought the orange cat over, making it ready to protect him at all times.

With the protection of God of War Daju, Lin Sheng began to check.

With so many mice running out of the sofa cushion just now, it stands to reason that the sponge inside the cushion should have been hollowed out, but Lin Sheng found that although the sofa cushion is old, it is still full of sponge.

Thinking of seeing the mouse turning into black smoke in the orange cat's mouth, Lin Sheng could already confirm that those big mice did not really exist.

Although they can attack the player, in the final analysis, they are transformed by Zhou Muchen's painting.

It seems that little kids' favorites and hated things are finally coming to life in some form.

It turns out that this is the real intention of Teacher Linda asking them to paint!

When Teacher Linda asked everyone to draw for the first time, many people were perfunctory; however, the second time, she threatened that children who lied would have their mouths sewn up. For this reason, the players drew honestly. What I hate the most, I didn't expect that Mr. Xiong would use it to deal with them in a targeted manner.

If what he hates is coriander, it's okay, Zhou Muchen fainted from the fright of the mouse he hates, and he doesn't know how the other players are doing now.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng asked Zheng Yuzhe: "What do you hate the most?"

Zheng Yuzhe replied almost immediately: "Zombie."

Lin Sheng nodded. He remembered that when the two first met in the copy, Zheng Yuzhe told him that he was most afraid of zombies in horror movies.

It seems that more than one player has interpreted "the most annoying" as "the most feared".

Lin Sheng frowned and thought. The probability of all 13 of them failing Chinese is very low. There must be some factors that have affected everyone's understanding.

Thinking of this weird town, Lin Sheng sighed.

That's right, isn't Happy Town itself both disgusting and scary?

The key was indeed in the sofa cushion.

The door to the basement is easy to open, Lin Sheng inserts the key!Go in and open the door.The whole house was empty, except for the three of them, there was no sign of anyone else.

After coming out, the three of them first came to the photo that Lin Sheng saw through the keyhole.

There is a row of crooked small characters under the photo, the handwriting is very immature.

Zheng Yuzhe read the row of small characters under the photo.

"Father and Son, 1981/10/30"

"Father and son? Mr. Xiong is the father of this child?!"

Unexpectedly, such a cruel and perverted person actually has a child!

Lin Sheng stared at the little boy in the photo. He was about five or six years old, with one hand being held by Mr. Xiong. His brown hair grew down to his chin. Although his skin was pale, his eyebrows were deep and he was very beautiful. , but also inexplicably familiar.

However, the little boy was obviously not very happy. His jaw was slightly closed, his mouth was pouted, and his eyes were looking at the camera, which was in stark contrast to the dancing Mr. Xiong.

After remembering the little boy's appearance, the three of them walked around the room.

The first floor is the living room and kitchen, empty beer cans, pizza boxes and other garbage can be seen everywhere; the kitchen is also very messy; the refrigerator is empty...

It can be seen that the owner of the house is not living with his heart.

"Come on, let's go to the second floor."

There were three rooms on the second floor, but two of them were locked, so the three of Lin Sheng walked into the unlocked room.

There is not much furniture in the room, a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk with a chair.Judging from the size of the bed, table and chairs, this should be the room of Mr. Xiong's son.

Unlike the environment downstairs, my son's room was clean and tidy.It was time to search again. Lin Sheng was used to searching from the drawer, and it was the same this time.

He went straight to the desk and pulled out the drawers one by one.

In one of the drawers, Lin Sheng found a diary with a lock.

Unexpectedly, the key item was found just after the search began. I have to admit that Lin Sheng's luck was probably all used in this aspect.

The diary could not be opened. Looking at the combination lock on the side of the book, Lin Sheng knew that there must be clues in it.

The next piece of the puzzle is - what is the password?

The combination lock consists of four rolling wheels. Lin Sheng thought about it and tried the number "1981".

This is the year number they saw on the photo on the first floor.

Lin Sheng turned the lock, but unfortunately, it didn't open.

Lin Sheng: "That's 1030?"

Two sets of numbers come from the same source, one is the year and the other is the month and day.

This time, he successfully opened the combination lock!

Lin Sheng simply flipped through it first. Mr. Xiong's son kept his diary very seriously. Most of the notebook had been used up, and every entry was full. At first glance, it was not the kind of diary written to deal with the teacher.

Although it is wrong to peek at other people's diaries, the situation is special in dungeons.The moment of life and death can't be managed so much, so the three of them got together and started reading.

【May 9

I went to Kindergarten by myself today because my mom wasn't home and the teacher asked me why I didn't look happy and I told her it was because I didn't have breakfast.

When I got home, my father was watching TV. He asked me to buy some beer, but I was too young, no one would sell me alcohol, and it was useless for my father to scold me.

Maybe I was born an unhappy child. The children in the kindergarten didn’t like to play with me. My father said that I was a child that no one loved, but I thought he loved me because he was my father. The teacher said that both parents I love my children, but sometimes I don't understand why my mother's closet is empty? 】

【May 9

Today the teacher asked us to draw our family members. I drew my father, mother and myself. After class, I secretly tore off my drawing from the wall, because my father didn't want to see me draw my mother.

The teacher asked us to introduce our mom and dad, but after class John pointed at me and said I was a liar and my dad wasn't that good at all.

I'm really annoyed that John is my only friend, my dad always makes me work but John doesn't know, he sometimes touches my head too. 】

【May 9

Today is my birthday, but my father forgot, I thought I would see cakes and gifts when I got home, but there was nothing, my father fell asleep on the sofa, and the TV was still playing football.

After my father woke up, he told me that he hadn’t forgotten that the invited children were unwilling to come. They didn’t come because I was a little boy who didn’t fit in. I was so sad every day, so everyone thought I was boring.

John didn't talk to me anymore, and I realized that I was hated by others. My father killed me, and he also thought I was boring, so he didn't like me anymore. 】

The little boy drew a crying expression at the end. After this diary entry, he drew a few more pages of graffiti in a hideous and dark style.

He vented his anger and pain in two colors, black and red, and Lin Sheng was frightened as he read page by page.

Lin Sheng: "Father has had too much influence on him."

Zheng Yuzhe: "Yeah, why do I think his dad just forgot."

Lin Sheng continued to read the past, and finally got the written version of the diary.

【May 10

Dad asked me why no children ever came to my house to play, and I didn't talk because they didn't like me.

Dad found a bear costume from the basement, and he said that if they knew you had a "Mr. Bear" at home, they'd love to come and play.

I happily did so, looking at my father dressed as Mr. Xiong, I think my father also wants to be a popular person, right?After all I never saw his friends come to him.

I brought the kids home, but my dad didn't praise me, he was still very cold to me, he only played with the kids and took them to explore in the basement, I feel like my dad was snatched away, I don't want to invite anyone else I'm home. 】

……

Zhou Muchen: "October 10th, this should be the day the photo was taken."

This diary explained why the little boy in the photo looked unhappy, but they didn't expect that the little boy was jealous because his father took other children to the basement. I'm afraid he didn't know how his father followed him. Others "play" with it.

The rest of the diary is similar, and it can be seen that this little boy has a good ability to express himself, using the simplest language to write out the complicated feelings in his heart, but after reading his diary, the three of them are a little silent.

Zheng Yuzhe was very confused. He thought that the diary would contain secrets for customs clearance, but he didn't expect that after reading it, he was still in a fog.

Zheng Yuzhe: "Lin Sheng, can you tell me what is in this diary?"

The diary did not tell them how to pass the level. Lin Sheng was sitting on the baby chair, thinking about this question.

"...All I can say is that this kid has very complicated feelings for his dad."

It can be seen from the diary that Mr. Xiong is a very incompetent father. He not only starved his son, but also forgot his birthday and uttered bad words.

What's more, Lin Sheng suspected that the reason why the little boy's mother ran away from home was also because of his father.

"But the little boy obviously loves his father very much. He would lie in kindergarten and keep the little warmth his father gave him in his heart, and use it as an excuse to deceive himself from time to time."

"But he also drew an ugly picture of his father." Zheng Yuzhe said while turning to the page of graffiti in the diary, and saw that the little boy put his father's face on the neck of a black dog, and also painted red on the dog's neck. There are many bleeding wounds painted on his body, and it can be seen that there is a lot of resentment.

Behind the stick figure is the surging ferocious malice, and it is an intuitive reflection of the little boy's inner thoughts after being belittled by his father. Zheng Yuzhe couldn't help getting goosebumps when he thought that the painter was actually a five or six-year-old child.

"Is this child already mentally twisted?"

"There is also the password." Lin Sheng turned the diary sideways and continued, "What do you usually use as a password? Many people use their own birthdays. Although it is not safe, it can represent some commemorative meaning. Little boy My birthday is September 9, but the password is not 25, but 0925."

"Ah, you mean..."

Zheng Yuzhe understood, "October 10 is very important to him, even more important than his birthday."

"That's right, the reason why the little boy thinks this day is commemorative is because he took a photo with his father!"

Indeed, the three of them did not see other photos in this house, and it is estimated that they do not often take photos together at home.

Although the little boy in the photo is not very happy, he still values ​​this photo very much, and it is a bit pitiful to think about it.

The information that could be excavated from the diary was almost enough, and the three of them found no more clues, so they went down to the first floor and left the hut.

As soon as he got out of the hut, Lin Sheng saw a lot of people standing on the lawn, or rather, a lot of children. They were the other players in this instance.

Zheng Yuzhe immediately looked back at the hut with a look of disbelief.

Lin Sheng knew why he reacted like this, because when they were in the house, they didn't see anyone through the window.

Maybe the door of the hut was a hurdle, Lin Sheng guessed, after passing through the door, they would no longer be threatened by phantoms like big rats.

There were five players standing on the lawn: a trio of men with birthmarks, and two retail investors. The man with birthmarks saw them and waved at them three times.

These three people left a deep impression on him - they often disappeared in groups before meals, and they didn't even take a bite of the kindergarten's meals, but they all turned out to be smooth and slippery.

As soon as the three came over, a retail investor couldn't wait to ask:

"Are you also locked in the basement?"

Zhou Muchen nodded, his complexion was normal, and he couldn't see any clues. This was because he swallowed a prop pill when he was reading the diary just now, so his body has fully recovered now.

Lin Sheng asked: "You too? Then what did you meet in the basement?"

Everyone exchanged what they had seen and heard, and Lin Sheng realized that Mr. Xiong had indeed captured everyone, but unlike the program he saw last time, the players were divided into groups of three or two, and they were in the Meet one of the most hated things in the basement.

The two retail investors were a little impatient, and they scrambled to say:

"I don't understand the situation at all, so what should I do now?"

"Don't wait, who knows whether the player or Mr. Xiong will come out next?"

……

The birthmark man and Lin Sheng are a small group of three people. As retail investors, the two of them fought together in the basement just now, and now they automatically form a group. The two agree that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

The two proposed to leave here, Lin Sheng asked: "Then where are you going?"

The hut is surrounded by impenetrable woods, and I don't know how far it is from the town. Although it is dangerous to stay, it may not be safe to leave rashly.

"No matter where I go, I will never go near this cabin again."

"I'm planning to take a detour outside the town to hide from the limelight. The police can't control Mr. Xiong anymore. Staying in the town is a dead end!"

Zheng Yuzhe: "But with you two kids, wouldn't it be more dangerous to go outdoors?"

The two looked at each other. It's not that they haven't thought about it, but just now they staged a thrilling life-and-death pursuit in the basement. Thinking of this, even though they knew there would be danger in the wild, they could only hold on. The scalp broke through.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the woods, and the surroundings regained calm.

Different from the views of the two retail investors, the man with the birthmark tended to think that the vicinity of the hut was safe for the time being. He glanced at Lin Sheng and said:

"Did you come here directly after opening the door?"

The birthmark man had witnessed Zheng Yuzhe's strange power explosion with his own eyes. In his eyes, Zheng Yuzhe was a rare and outstanding player. However, from the looks of it now, among the three, Zheng Yuzhe actually showed an attitude of obedience to the other two.

From this point of view, the other two are probably even more powerful.

How could such three powerful people waste so much time?

Lin Sheng and Zhou Muchen looked at each other, and the latter gave him a positive look.

Because of the appearance of the police, the progress of the dungeon suddenly accelerated. Although it was said before that the three of them should keep a low profile, the players must unite in the face of the general attack launched by Mr. Xiong.

So Lin Sheng shared the diary he found on the second floor with the birthmark man.

The man with the birthmark looked solemn. After the three of them came out of the basement, because a teammate was in a bad state of mind, the man with the birthmark planned to send him outside the house first, and then went back to search the house by himself. Unexpectedly, he went out There is no going back after that.

After hearing what Lin Sheng said, he realized how important a clue he had missed, so the way he looked at Lin Sheng and the others changed slightly.

"You said that Mr. Xiong's son is named Sharp?"

Lin Sheng nodded, he had seen this name on the title page of his diary.

Birthmark Man: "That's interesting."

He touched his chin and said meaningfully:

"There is an aborigine in the kindergarten named Sharp."

Lin Sheng was stunned. Before he had time to remember all the names of the aborigines, he didn't expect that Mr. Xiong's son and himself were classmates!

At this moment, He Yu and his teammates came out of the hut. As a professional information dealer, He Yu naturally searched the whole house before leaving. He also found the diary and successfully opened it. .

Lin Sheng discussed with Zhou Muchen and Zheng Yuzhe: "Where shall we go next? I propose to go back to kindergarten. This Sharp must have more clues."

Zhou Muchen: "Yes, there is no absolutely safe place in Happy Town. Rather than hiding in Tibet, we still need to figure out how to pass the customs earlier."

Zheng Yuzhe: "How about we tie up Sharp and use him to threaten Mr. Xiong?"

The two looked at Zheng Yuzhe together, the expressions in their eyes were indescribable.

Zheng Yuzhe: "...what's wrong?"

Zhou Muchen was silent for a while, then said: "It's nothing, it's just that I just decided that I don't need to beat up the introducer when I go back."

Zheng Yuzhe:? ? ?

During the conversation, three more people came out of the hut. So far, all the players have left the hut smoothly. Except for the two who left early, the others also agreed to go back to the kindergarten first.

Remembering that in the show, Yu Xin was driven from the kindergarten by someone, so the group walked along the ruts in front of the hut, passed through the dense forest, and finally returned to Happy Town.

Seeing several children walking together, the residents of the town all looked sideways, and even came to ask if they needed help, but they were all rejected by the players.

The person who was rejected was full of regret. He wanted to invite the children back to his house for ice cream, but at this moment, a child suddenly said something to him.

Lin Sheng: "Uncle, do you know what year it is?"

"Of course I do."

The man grinned big, "It's 1999 now."

The author says:

The sentence Zhou Muchen said that there is no need to beat up the introducer refers to the person who introduced Zheng Yuzhe to be his bodyguard. Let me remind the little angel who has a bad memory.
