Chapter 85: Cold and Rainy Night: Temporary Cooperation
The young 'girl' took a deep breath and tried to calm her tone.
"The man wasn't tall, but he had a hideous face...... Now he's in the corner, fainting. I've just walked around this room, and there's only one 'door'. The room looked like it was cleaned regularly, but I could see some unwashed blood in the corner, and it looked like someone had been locked up here before, and it looked like it was chopped meat...... ...... vomit"
She had tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't help but feel sick to her stomach when she talked about the bloody parts. Lu Yu sighed, diverted the topic and asked, "Let's not mention those disgusting things, let's think about how to get out of here." ”
"Okay."
The young 'girl' wiped her tears with her backhand and looked around: "As you can see, in this room, in addition to the basic furniture, there is a 'door' and four walls, and there is not even a single window, but the 'door' can't be opened from the inside, at least one person has to help outside...... Can you come and help me? ”
Lu Yu replied: "Then I have to know where you are first......" He didn't tell the young 'girl' the fact that he couldn't get out now, anyway, it was useless to say it, it was just frustrating. Both of them were silent for a while, the young 'girl' didn't seem to know where she was, and although Lu Yu was thinking about whether there was a way to locate herself, but in this completely unfamiliar room, her movements were greatly restricted, and she couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, so she could only take one step at a time, and try what she could think of first.
Lu Yu changed his words and asked, "Can you find a way to reach the Tianhua board?" ”
"What?" The young 'girl' seemed to be concentrating on countermeasures, and it was a bit of a turn to be asked so suddenly. But she immediately 'revealed' her expression of sudden realization, "Oh! I get it! Day 'flower' board! Exhaust outlets! ”
"Yes. I think your body is of the more slender type, and you should be able to get into it. ”
"Okay, I'll try!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, the young 'girl' seemed excited. She turned and grabbed the iron-framed 'bed' and tried to drag it to the bottom of the exhaust vent to cushion it, but she stumbled upon something new.
"What is this?" The young 'girl' bent down and looked at the ground strangely, and Lu Yu also followed her gaze, only to see that a metal cover appeared on the ground that could be turned over. The metal cover is about 30 centimeters in diameter, and it has been hidden under the 'bed' so it has not been found, but when it is opened this time, it 'reveals' its true face. The young 'girl' looked very happy, and her unintentional actions actually found a new way for herself to survive.
Lu Yu is an outsider after all, and he is still calmer than her at this time.
"It looks like something like a secret passage entrance, and I don't know where it leads...... Alas? Looks like there's a combination lock! Lu Yu squinted his eyes and carefully observed the metal cover, this was a high-definition monitor, except that he couldn't adjust the angle by himself, he was not much different from observing at the scene.
The young woman's expression quickly changed from happy to gloomy. She crouched down to take a closer look at the metal cover, looked up at the camera in disappointment and said, "yes, you have so good eyes." This is locked by a combination lock and cannot be opened. ”
"You don't have to be frustrated, it's a combination lock instead of an ordinary key lock, which means that there is still a chance here."
"If the password is only three, I can still try, but this is an eight-digit combination lock, and if you want to rely on blind 'blindness' to fight, time is not enough anyway." The young 'girl' glanced worriedly at the corner under the camera, "If it drags on too long, he wakes up before then, and I'm finished." ”
As she spoke, the young 'girl' seemed to be crying again.
Lu Yu said: "You calm down first, I said that there is a chance, and it is naturally well-founded." First of all, it is obvious that your side is a room with both torture and imprisonment functions, and there are only two possibilities for this kind of room to set up a secret passage, one is to facilitate the owner of this villa to escape from the enemy and escape from the secret passage, and the other is to use it as some kind of test or some kind of game to 'play' the imprisoned. ”
"The former possibility of 'sex' is relatively small, or even if it was once used in such a way, it is estimated that it is not used in this way now. You can also see that there is usually a 'bed' on top of this secret passage, but to be honest, this kind of cover-up is very unreasonable, not to mention the speed that affects your ability to enter the secret passage, that is, it is very difficult to reset the 'bed' used for disguise after entering the secret passage. What's more, in the case of being chased, after the pursuer enters this room and finds that the target has disappeared, his first reaction is to look to see if there is any other path, in this case, the secret passage under the 'bed' will be easily found. For those who have tools, that kind of small combination lock does not need to be cracked at all, and the lid can be pry open directly. ”
But if you think about it another way, it all becomes explainable. This secret passage is deliberately designed not to be difficult to find, precisely to lure people into trying to open it. As you can imagine from the high-definition surveillance camera in the security room, the room's designers must have enjoyed sitting here and watching the people in the torture room rack their brains to find out the password to exit through the secret passage. For a perverted murderer, seeing his prey work hard and getting nothing in the end may be more enjoyable than torture or simple captivity. ”
"You...... Shouldn't you be ...... too" The young 'girl' suddenly thought of something, and took a few steps back in horror.
"Hehe, who knows......" Lu Yu deliberately pretended to be a 'gloomy' voice, and then laughed, "Lie to you, I just arrived here." It was raining too much outside, and I couldn't come in to take shelter from it, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing as soon as I came in. ”
"Oh...... "The young 'girl' still looks suspicious." It's no wonder that just now she was in a state of extreme nervousness and fear, basically going to the hospital in a hurry, only thinking about who would help her out of this terrifying room, and not thinking about who was on the other end of the monitor. After finding hope for survival at this time, she gradually calmed down and thought about these problems that she should have noticed.
Just as she was thinking, Lu Yu was digging out her suit pocket, and in addition to a box of cigarettes (wet from the rain and no longer usable), a lighter (Lu Yu tried it, it could still be lit) and a driver's license, there were only a few yuan in change. However, he didn't expect to find anything useful on the horn 'color', all he needed was a certificate.
"My name is Featherland, and I'm just a passerby, a proper professional." Lu Yu said into the microphone, "Of course, you can also doubt me, but I think we should cooperate to escape from this house at this time, after all, the situation will not be worse, right." ”
The young 'girl' glanced hesitantly at the corner. Lu Yu said this very truthfully, anyway, she is now in the same room with a murderer, and if she doesn't do anything, she can only wait for death. Even if the monitor is not a good person, it is a big deal that it is another murderer, and it is no worse than now. What's more, the other party said so, and reported himself to the 'door', obviously without malice.
"I'm Catherine." The young 'girl' nodded slightly, and also reported her name, which can be regarded as temporarily agreeing with the cooperative relationship between the two. She suddenly said "Huh", her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes looked at the camera with a little doubt.
"Wait, you just said 'cooperation'?" Catherine asked, "May I ask you what's going on over there?" ”
"I've finally calmed down, and it seems that you're still 'quite sharp'." Lu Yu's words just now deliberately released a little information for her to think, trying to test whether she could find another layer of meaning hidden in the words. Judging from the results, the other party obviously noticed it, which made him 'very' satisfied.
(Yes, the "game" can still be played at this level.) )
Lu Yu praised it in his heart, and then he 'handed over' his current situation one by one. Including the fact that he suffered a car accident in the rain, was injured, rushed to the villa in the rain but happened to encounter an earthquake, and is now trapped in the security room and can't get out, it can be said that in addition to the "no player identity" limited by the rules, Lu Yu poured out all the information that should be 'handed over' and should not be 'handed over' on his side. Catherine listened with a thoughtful expression, and when Lu Yu finished speaking, she nodded to show that she understood.
"Looks like we're on the same front now."
"Yes, so I have no choice but to find a way to help you escape, and then count on you to come and save me if you stop by...... Ah, it's better to come by without dropping. ”
"Don't say that." Catherine smiled rarely, "Don't worry, as soon as I get out, I'll help you as soon as I get out." Why don't you just move a few rocks, I still have the strength to do so. ”
She looked down at the small combination lock, and whispered, "There is still a little dried blood on this combination lock, it should have been left by the last person who was imprisoned here, and I don't know if he managed to escape in the end......"
Lu Yu said: "To be honest, I don't think that the secret passage leads to safety, if it were me, there is a chance that this secret passage will be repaired to another room in this villa, so that the person who thought he had escaped will be disappointed when he crawls out." ”
"Your mind is really ...... Not...... Really, peculiarly. ”
Catherine looked at the camera angrily, and thought for a moment before finding a slightly less direct word. Lu Yu laughed, as if he was quite useful for this evaluation.
"Miss Catherine, we need this peculiarity now. Only by substituting oneself into the corresponding corner 'color' can it be possible to find what 'he' wants us to discover. Lu Yu said, "Now, please hold this posture and imagine what you would do if you were a prisoner." ”
