Player Reload

There was no delay at all, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly. Li Sheng stopped the countdown in his mind and had a clearer understanding of the power of the killing game.

[In this mission, players are in full role-playing mode, only attribute enhancements are retained, and they cannot use skills or skill scrolls other than title skills, cannot access items in the backpack, and cannot use equipment props]

[Mission briefing has been sent]

[Owen Hedges, this is your name. You were once a respected human rights lawyer with a happy family, until the day a fire engulfed your family. The good life is gone forever. She has fallen into long-term decadence and lost her job. She is confused and on the verge of bankruptcy. After being introduced by a friend, she participated in an escape room game with a reward of 50,000 US dollars. It’s just that this game is different from what you imagined]

After the briefing was finished, Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and found that the backpack slots on the player panel were all gray and items could not be taken out.

At the same time, the body is also restricted and cannot summon the mantis arm bone blade and other enhanced organs.

The only advantage is probably that the infection status of the Lord of Insects has also been sealed.

Anyway, first observe the surrounding situation.

The most conspicuous thing is naturally the corpse standing in front of him. He is about 1.8 meters tall, a white male, in his forties, with a beard, a stiff smile on his face, a sailor hat on his head, and sunglasses on his nose. Wearing an old sailor's uniform without pockets, he was shaving with a rusty razor.

The surface of the corpse's skin is wrapped in a strong polymer compound similar to epoxy resin, so it can remain standing.

Through the transparent colloid layer, you can clearly see the traces of decay on the surface of the corpse, smell the putrid smell and the strong smell of rum.

After looking at the body for a moment, Li Sheng looked away and looked around.

This is an eight-meter-square room with LCD panels on all four walls, projecting the ocean scene.

The room is seven meters high, with an extremely dazzling searchlight hanging in the corner of the top.

There is a thick layer of fine sand on the ground on the left side of the room, with some plastic tropical landscape plants placed on it.

On the right side of the room, there is salty sea water, and a seven-meter-long miniature model of a ketch stranded in the water. The bottom of the model ship is firmly fixed to the floor by welding.

In Li Sheng's sight, his body was still his own. However, the reflection in the water showed that Li Sheng looked like a somewhat decadent middle-aged white man, who was obviously the "Owen Hedges" mentioned in the mission briefing.

"Woo——"

From the speakers high in the room, there was a faint sound of howling wind and squawking seagulls, creating an overall tropical island atmosphere.

Uh. What is this, a pirate theme park?

Just as he was complaining, he heard a "buzz" sound, and a rectangular metal plate high in the room was retracted. After a moment, rapid water poured out from it and hit the landscape plants.

Li Sheng turned sideways to avoid the current and smelled the salty smell of sea water.

There is obviously no drainage outlet on the indoor surface, and the water level slowly rises as water flows into it. Li Sheng glanced at the area of ​​the metal plate, and the liquid flow formula came to mind.

The flow rate is equal to the cross-sectional area multiplied by the water flow speed. Visually, the water flow speed is not very fast, and the area of ​​the metal plate is limited, so I have plenty of time.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

More metal plates were put away high in the room, and majestic seawater poured into the room. The water level rose significantly faster, quickly submerging Li Sheng's insteps.

you are vicious.

"Since it's an escape room, there should be cameras."

Li Sheng put his hand on his forehead to block the glare of the searchlight. Sure enough, he found a long surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling. He waved towards the surveillance camera and shouted: "Children, I am actually the 35th American." President John F. Kennedy, I am not dead. As long as you let me out, you will receive half of the 800 tons of gold I buried under the White House!”

Such tempting conditions did not receive any feedback. Li Sheng looked calm and lowered his arms without any surprise - he just wanted to test whether there was anyone on the other end of the surveillance camera and whether the camera would be moved to focus better.

Water continued to pour into the room, and with limited time, Li Sheng quickly explored the room, looking for clues.

The thing in the room that looks most like an exit is a square metal plate embedded in the wall, with a roller digital code lock installed on it. There are two spaces on the left side of the code lock and three spaces on the right side, a total of five digits.

In addition to this lock, there is another lock in the house, which is the captain's cabin door of the sailboat model. The keyhole shape is quite special and requires a star-shaped key.

Through the keyhole, you can vaguely see a wax figure of a corpse dressed as a captain inside. The wax figure is sitting behind the captain's table, with a hearty and laughing expression, and the parrot wax figure on its shoulder sings cheerfully.

“What do we do with a drunken sailor?

(What do we do with the drunk sailor?)

What do we do with a drunken sailor?

(What do we do with the drunk sailor?)

Early in the morning!

(In that early morning hour)"

This song is called "Drunken Sailor" (Drunken Sailor), which is a very famous Irish sailor folk song. Appeared in "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Truman Show."

Wow——

The water level continued to rise, gradually submerging the artificial beach and flooding the ship model.

Li Sheng retracted his gaze. With the strength and agility attributes he retained, if he relied on punching and kicking, it would be possible to smash through the thick hardwood door before being drowned.

"One of the iron rules of the killing field game is that it will not issue an impossible task. No matter how dangerous the predicament is, there must be one or several ways to survive."

"The goal of this mission is to stay alive until you escape from the dark room. The mission time limit is 1 hour. And judging from the flow of water, it doesn't take so long to flood the room. In other words, the so-called [dark room] refers to a larger range than this room."

"Correspondingly, if I spend too much time and energy here, I may not have the spare energy to break through the remaining [dark rooms]. With this reasoning, the possibility that brute force is the only solution has been greatly reduced."

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized something.

The wax figure of the parrot in the captain's room should have been installed with some kind of audio equipment, repeating the first three sentences of "The Drunken Sailor" over and over again.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Li Sheng grinned, jumped off the boat model, waded through the waist-deep water, came to the wax figure of the sailor's corpse at the beginning, and took the rusty razor from the wax figure.

The Irish folk song "The Drunken Sailor" tells how a group of crew members punish a sailor who was drunk and missed a job. The next line of the lyrics is "Shave his belly with a rusty razor"

That is, shave his belly with a rusty razor.

The sailor's wax figure is covered with solid polymer compounds all over, except for a vertical gap in the belly under the clothes.

Li Sheng removed the blade and searched for it.

The disgusting smell gushed out, and the sticky and cold touch from the fingertips was even more disgusting - disgusting.

If any normal person came here, he would definitely feel uncomfortable at this time, and might even vomit.

But Li Sheng didn't feel much discomfort - not only because he had already experienced life-and-death struggles, but also because in this alien atmosphere, the rules, laws, morals, and social concepts that bound him in the past were gone.

He no longer needed to play the role of a good student, no longer needed to play the role of a sensible orphan living under someone else's roof, he just needed to be himself.

There was an inexplicable, unprecedented ease.

"Found it."

He pulled his arm out suddenly, and there was a star-shaped key in his palm.
