[Dark Night City] is a newly built horror and suspense-themed entertainment city in this city.

Generally, few couples come here to date, which are the places where some reasoning enthusiasts come.

The most famous entertainment facility in [Dark Night City] is not a classic haunted house, but a unique entertainment facility [Escape Room]

Realistic version of the live escape game.

Keep people in a closed room and give some decryption tips: (for example, there is a password hidden under the table drawer, a key hidden in a small water cup...)

Then, according to these prompts, the player connects them in an orderly manner within the specified time, and finally constantly breaks the secrets in the secret room to achieve the purpose of escaping from the secret room.

Uh... I explained it all, I believe you understand it too. For someone like me who is not good at reasoning, if you are locked up, you can only wait for the end of the time and let others rescue me from it.

"Brother, look at which room to choose to escape from, we have prepared three scenes."

Miss Xia Youke and I walked into an apartment-like room. At the counter, the shop owner here promoted us.

"The first scene is three-star difficulty for [Doom Cabin], and it is recommended to play newcomers with certain reasoning abilities. The second scene is [Bloody Mary], with four-star difficulty. It is recommended to play loyal fans of the escape game. The third scene is [Living]. This third scene, with six-star difficulty, is a super difficult question for the escape game competition."

The shop owner was selling me and handed me a booklet.

Well, it turns out that there are also competitions in the [Escape Room] type of games, and it seems that there are such international competitions.

Today is an eye-opener, but...even the simplest [Doomsday House] requires a newcomer with a certain ability to reason. What should I do if I don’t know how to reason at all!?

Of course, this is hard to ask.

"In addition, let me explain it to you. The limit time is to escape within one hour. If you can escape within half an hour, you can get a free coupon. If you use your identities, you can play different scenes for free next time."

If you break through, can you play other scenes for free?

Although I have no hope, the beautiful girl from the top of the school may be very good at this.

"Then Xia Youke...I don't care, which one do you want to choose to play?"

I asked, but I still hope that she would choose the first one, because if she passes the first one quickly, she can still play the second one.

"It's better to choose the second one."

Miss Xia Youke pointed to the second Bloody Mary map, which was a scene full of roses and red wine.

"Not recommended by newcomers who have never played this game before, this one is still a bit difficult."

"Well, just play this."

Miss Xia Youke said that she looked very confident, but she should be fine, after all, she is the best student in the highest school in the province.

"Okay, I decided, let's play this."

I said to the shop owner here and paid.

"Come on, newcomer, I will put a communication device on my desk. If I really can't solve the puzzle, I can give you a prompt."

"Um....."

I responded, and then walked with Miss Xia Youke to the scene behind the stairs - Bloody Mary.

It was a room of about 30 square meters, with an office desk, two cabinets, a safe, and a blood-red wall that looked very conspicuous.

After we entered, the door was automatically locked and we were also sealed in this secret room.

"Can you hear it?"

After stepping into this secret room, a man's hoarse voice came from the walkie-talkie on the desk.

I walked to my desk and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Can hear it."

I pressed the button and then spoke to the opposite channel.

"Very good, explain that there are clues in the room except for curtains and ceilings and floors, except for the curtains and ceilings."

"Yeah...understand."

"And... we installed eavesdroppers and cameras for emergency situations, right... you know, although they are lovers... but please don't do too explicit things just because they are secret rooms. There was a couple who turned off the switch of the intercom and exchanged their relationships in them... we saw it..."

“…”

Hey, are there really couples who use this secret room environment to do lewd things? But by the way, this environment is actually quite ambiguous - it is completely closed, with roses and wine on the desk, and curtains can be pulled... It's no wonder if a man and a woman are alone here.

But you are wrong in the store owner! Miss Xia Youke and I are not lovers. I resist girls and boys. How could this combination be a lover?

"We are not couples, we are just friends..."

I said to the walkie-talkie.

"friend....."

Xia Youke also blushed helplessly.

"Oh, that's how I misunderstood, but there's only a short difference between "friends" and "couples". Come on, brother."

Through the intercom, the owner of the shop owner smiled at me with a slutty smile, "Hey, I don't want you to cheer me up in this regard. And it's really good that you are the owner of a mystery shop so slutty, will it ruin the atmosphere?

I complained silently, and then the communication on the walkie-talkie was suspended and the game began.

The hourglass on the desk was also flowing with sand bit by bit. Within an hour, we had to escape from this secret room by constantly searching for clues.

"Shen Ji, let's investigate separately. Please investigate this desk first. I'll investigate other places."

Miss Xia Youke said to me, and I nodded.

When I walked to the desk, I looked at the quaint and standard desk. There were two bottles of red wine on the table. It was not an empty bottle, but there was indeed wine inside.

There is also a large bouquet of roses, and a pen holder.

There are two drawers and a cabinet below the desk. I pulled it and the cabinet was locked. As for the two drawers - one of them was empty inside, and the other one contained a huge piece of puzzle pieces.

The puzzle piece is drawn... is it a city pattern? It feels like a corner of a night view of a city, and the back of the fragment is written with a large letter "a".

"Shen Ji... I didn't find anything special elsewhere except this one."

Miss Xia Youke walked up to me, said to me who was thinking, and handed me a piece of the puzzle.

It is also a night view of a city, and there is a letter "f" on the back

"Well, I found this thing on my desk."

I said, and handed it to the puzzle pieces in Miss Xia Youke's hand.

After seeing this, she thought silently.

"Why, have you thought of any ideas?"

I saw her thinking, so I asked.

"Well, I should know the overall gameplay and the order of the game."

Miss Xia Youke held the two pieces, smiled slightly, and said confidently.
Chapter completed!
