Prologue Delicious Shrimp(1/2)
Didi didi - didi didi -
An annoying voice rang out quickly, breaking the silence of the room.
Tang Yuan opened his eyes.
The electric fan on the ceiling was rotating slowly, and under the weak light source, spinning silhouettes were projected on Tang Yuan's face.
Tang Yuan turned his head and glanced at the electronic alarm clock that kept ticking, which read: 3:23. He reached out and turned off the alarm clock, and the originally silent room returned to silence.
This is a dark room.
The dark red thick curtains make the place more dull and decadent.
Landscape paintings with strange colors were hung on the walls, and a large rectangular fish tank was placed on the table opposite the bed. Three pet shrimps were floating slowly in the water, almost motionless.
Tang Yuan sat up and got up slowly.
It’s time to end today——
He stood in the center of the room with an indifferent expression. A faint blue light emitted from his right eye in the dimness, which was the flash of lightning left behind when data flashed across his iris.
As long as he wants to know, all the information in this world cannot escape this eye.
Tang Yuan observed the curtain, and suddenly a row of words appeared on the left side of the curtain.
[Bedroom curtains: Thick fabrics can block stronger light. Behind the curtains is a window nailed with wooden boards. It is impossible to escape without tools. 】
[Landscape painting: Under the pink sky, a piece of withered grass grows on the blue earth. The weird color scheme brings strong discomfort to people, but you like this painting very much. 】
[Fish tank: Your favorite pet shrimp, you used to raise them with every possible care. There used to be five of them, but now there are only three left.]
There are three doors in the bedroom. Tang Yuan knew that one door led to the living room and the other was the bathroom.
The last door is locked,
He knows what's inside.
Tang Yuan directly opened the door leading to the living room, left the bedroom, and walked into a long corridor. Behind him was a bookshelf, and to the left was a room full of landscape paintings. He walked along the long corridor and passed by a pile of
The old-fashioned TV set with a snowflake screen flashed, and then came to the living room.
The room was very quiet, except for the sound of the TV screen, the only sound was Tang Yuan's footsteps.
All the windows and doors leading to the outside world along this route are boarded up, making this a completely airtight space.
Tang Yuan was not surprised that he was in this weird room. He had been trapped for many days.
Rather than saying he is "trapped", it is better to say that he is willing to stay here.
He sat on the chair in the living room and put his hand on his chest. He could feel his heart beating vigorously, and he could even feel hungry.
It was so good, this feeling of being alive, Tang Yuan took a deep breath as if nostalgic, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly.
After a while, the cigarette burned out, and Tang Yuan knew that his free time was over. He shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "That's enough, let's end it."
Right eye data flashed.
【Have you really decided? You are almost successful, there is only one step left to achieve true eternal life.】
"I said, let's end it." Tang Yuan's face was expressionless, and his tone was bone-chillingly cold. "This kind of eternal life is not my original intention."
[Okay, but you already know the "customs clearance process", right? 】
[Step one: Get up early and go to the bathroom.]
Tang Yuan returned to the bedroom, opened the bathroom door, and went to the toilet first.
After doing this, the prompt in front of you is updated.
【Step 2: Eat breakfast.】
Tang Yuan glanced at the fish tank. Even if he knew how to do it, he had to follow the "process" here, otherwise he would not be able to trigger the next step. He walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door.
The inside of the refrigerator was dark and empty.
【There is no food, so let’s eat shrimp today.】
Tang Yuan returned to the bedroom and stood in front of the fish tank, staring at the swimming pet shrimp.
[Fish tank: Your favorite pet shrimp, you used to raise them with every possible care. There used to be five of them, but now there are only three left.]
Then, he put his hand into the fish tank. The pet shrimps were frightened and fled in all directions. Tang Yuan caught one, then shook the water on it and put the shrimp into his mouth.
The fresh shrimps are beating and struggling in the mouth, slippery and with a fishy smell,
Tang Yuan bit off the shrimp head in one bite, then chewed it and swallowed it.
In fact, it had no taste, and Tang Yuan, a self-proclaimed gourmet, found it tasteless.
[Step 3: Chat online.]
The computer was near the refrigerator. Tang Yuan returned to the kitchen with ease and sat in front of the computer. After shaking the mouse, the screen unlocked and there was an open chat window on the desktop.
There were already many messages in the chat window, all sent by a person named "Smoker". Tang Yuan counted about ten messages, each one urging him to clear the level quickly. When it came to the latest one, the other party had already
Lost patience.
Tang Yuan browsed through all the messages and quickly entered a paragraph.
Tang Yuan: "I've already thought about it."
Smoker: "After delaying for so long, you finally figured it out. This is good for both of us."
Tang Yuan: "I figured it out, but not in your way, so I'm sorry."
Smoker: "Tang Yuan, do you want to ruin all this? I'm warning you, don't mess around!"
Tang Yuan: "Isn't it normal to fail in this world? So many people have disappeared forever, and I am no exception. Therefore, it is normal to accidentally worsen the situation during the last mission and cause the mission to fail."
Smoker: "I know you can crack this mission! It's at this critical moment, don't make so many mistakes! If you dare to mess up on purpose, I won't let you go!"
Tang Yuan: "You have been controlling everything from the beginning. I didn't want to care about it before, but now I don't want to be a puppet on strings anymore."
Smoker: "It seems you have made up your mind."
Tang Yuan: "I'm tired of it."
Smoker: "Have you really let it all go? How long did it take you to get to this point? All the internal organs are collected, and there is only one last step left. As long as you escape from this room, you can win the real resurrection! That's it!
Wouldn’t it be a pity to give up like this?”
Tang Yuan stared at the screen, his eyes indifferent, his fingers flying on the keyboard.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it's time for everything to return to its original state."
Tang Yuan showed a relieved smile.
"Think about it again. After so many efforts, you just gave up. Why don't you agree to our conditions?"
"You know the answer yourself. In order to achieve your goal, who did you sacrifice, give up, and deceive?"
"My heart is beating, I am breathing, and my body is recovering vital signs bit by bit. Yes, I am in resurrection, but from now on, I will no longer be me. I can't sell my entire soul just because of resurrection.
For you guys."
"Life or death, it doesn't matter, I'm tired."
Tang Yuan felt very calm in his heart. He was unwilling to say this because it was meaningless, but he suddenly wanted to see the panic on the other side.
"There is no point in doing this. You will regret it."
"You must promise me! Decipher the world view of this room and complete the task perfectly. You know the consequences of not doing so!!"
"Where is the person? Come back!"
"As long as you agree this time, we will satisfy you no matter what request you make."
"We don't have time!"
At this time, Tang Yuan had already left, with a successful smile on his lips and gently shaking his head.
"You are drinking poison to quench your thirst."
[Step 4: Find the key to the safe house and open the hidden door in the corridor. 】
Tang Yuan went to the entrance to find a door key, and then found a bookshelf outside the bedroom door.
The bookshelf is actually a sliding door. On the first day he came here, he had already figured out what was going on here.
Tang Yuan opened the bookshelf and walked in.
This is a darkroom hidden in the bedroom. There are papers and paints scattered on the floor, and a painting board in the middle has the coconut tree landscape nailed on it.
In the innermost part of the dark room, there is a cage less than half a meter high. Inside, there is a girl with a delicate face. Her black hair is spread out, covering most of her pale skin.
The girl felt the outsider coming in, raised her head with difficulty, her eyes were blood red.
Tang Yuan looked at the girl's blood-red eyes sincerely: "I'm sorry for locking you up for so many days."
"You are so cruel." The girl's voice was hoarse, probably because she had been locked up for a long time.
"I have already apologized." Tang Yuan found two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine in the corner of the dark room and filled them. He walked to the front of the cage, passed the glass to the girl through the gap in the cage.
The girl held the wine glass and stared at Tang Yuan with a complicated expression.
