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

Generally, few couples come here for a date, and they are all places where some reasoning enthusiasts and uncles come.

One of the most famous amusement facilities in [Dark Night City] is not a classic haunted house, but a unique and innovative amusement facility [Escape Room]

A realistic version of a live-action escape game.

Lock people in a closed room and give some decryption hints: (e.g. a password hidden under a desk drawer, a key hidden in a small water cup, etc...... ）

Then, according to these prompts, within the specified time, the player will connect them in an orderly line, and finally continue to crack the secrets in the secret room to achieve the purpose of escaping the secret room.

Belch.... After explaining it, I'm sure you also understand, for people like me who are not good at reasoning, if I'm locked inside, I can only wait for the time to end and let someone else rescue me from it.

"Little brother, look at which escape room to choose, we have prepared three scenes."

Miss Xia Yuke and I walked into an apartment-like room, and at the counter, the shopkeeper here was selling to us.

"The first scene is [Doomsday House] three-star difficulty, recommended for newcomers with a certain reasoning ability to play, the second scene is [Bloody Mary], the difficulty is four-star, recommended for loyal fans of escape games to play, the third scene is [Alive], this third scene, the difficulty is six stars, it is a super difficult topic of the escape game competition."

The shopkeeper pitched me a brochure and handed me a brochure.

Well, it turns out that there are games like [Escape Room], and there are competitions, and it seems that there are international competitions like this.

Today is an eye-opener, but what.... Even the simplest [Doomsday Cabin] needs a newcomer with a certain amount of reasoning ability to play, what should I, a newcomer who can't reason at all, play!?

Of course, it's hard to ask.

"In addition, let me explain to you, the time limit is to escape within an hour, if you can escape within half an hour, you can get a free ticket, if you use the identities of the two of you, you can play different scenes for free next time."

If you break through, will you be able to play other scenarios for free?

Although I'm hopeless.,But the beautiful girl who is a school bully is not very good at this.。

"Na Xia Yuke..... It doesn't matter to me, which one you want to play. ”

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

"Let's pick the second one."

Miss Charyuke pointed to the second map of Bloody Mary, a scene full of roses and red wine.

"It's not recommended for newcomers who haven't played this game before, and this one is still a little difficult."

"Well, let's play with this."

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

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

I said to the shopkeeper and paid for it.

"Come on, newcomer, I'll put a communication device on my desk, and if I can't solve the puzzle, I can give you a hint."

"Uh-huh....."

I answered, and walked with Miss Charyuke to the scene behind the stairs - Bloody Mary.

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

As soon as we entered, the door locked automatically, and we were sealed in the chamber.

"Two ...... Can you hear me? ”

After stepping into this secret room, a man's hoarse voice came over the intercom on the desk.

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

"I can hear you."

I pressed the button and spoke to the other side.

"Very good, to explain, there are clues in the room except for the curtains and ceiling, and there are no clues on the floor."

"Hmm... Understand. ”

"And... We've installed bugging devices and cameras in case of an emergency, well.... You know, even though it's a couple.... But please don't do something too explicit because it's a secret room, there used to be a couple who turned off the switch on the walkie-talkie, and the whole process of exchanging feelings in it... We've seen ......."

“......”

Hey, there are really couples who use this secret room environment to do obscene things, but then again, this environment is actually quite ambiguous - fully enclosed, with roses and red wine on the desk, and the curtains can be closed.... It's no wonder if a man and a woman are alone here.

But Uncle shopkeeper, you misjudged! Miss Xia Youke and I are not a couple, I resist girls, she resists boys, how can this combination be a couple!

"We're not a couple, we're just friends....."

I said into the intercom.

"Friends ....."

Xia Youke also added with a red face helplessly.

"Oh, that's it, I misunderstood, but there is only a thin line between "friends" and "lovers", come on, little brother. ”

Through the walkie-talkie, the shopkeeper's uncle smiled lewdly at me and said, Hey, I don't want you to cheer me on in this regard, and you are really good to be the owner of the reasoning shop so obscenely, will it ruin the atmosphere!

I complained silently, and then the intercom communication hung up, and the game began.

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

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

Miss Xia Youke said to me, and I nodded.

Walking to the desk, I took a look at this quaint desk, there were two bottles of red wine on the table, not empty bottles, there was indeed wine in it.

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

Underneath the desk, there were two drawers and a cabinet, and I pulled it, and the cabinet was locked, and as for the two drawers—one of them was empty, and the other contained a huge piece of the puzzle.

Puzzle pieces drawn on .... Is it a pattern for a city? It feels like a corner of a night view of the city, and on the reverse side of the fragment, a big letter "A" is written.

"Ji Shen.... I haven't found anything special anywhere else except this one. ”

Miss Xia Youke walked up to me, said to me thoughtfully, and handed me a puzzle piece.

It's also a night view of a city, and there's an "F" on the back

"Well, I found it on my desk too."

I said, handing the puzzle pieces in Miss Xiayouke's hand.

When she saw it, she thought about something silently.

"What, do you have any ideas?"

I saw her thoughtful and asked.

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

Miss Xia Youke held the two fragments, smiled slightly, and said confidently.

Play? Order?
