Chapter 449 The maze of keyboard [Second update]
This feeling of "the host knows nothing but we know everything" is really great!
Shen Xingdu glanced at Zhen Shuai and took out a piece of cloth to wipe the dust on the dagger.
Zhen Shuai unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and was about to drink it when he paused. His hands were not shaking, but the water in the bottle was sloshing.
Governor Shen Xing said: "This is the third time."
Commander Zhen said firmly: "It's because the room is moving."
Governor Shen Xing nodded.
Zhen Shuai raised his head, held up the mineral water, and poured it into his mouth from a distance. After drinking, he handed the mineral water to Shen Xingdu, "Drink some too, don't worry, I didn't drink to your lips." "Not
thirsty." Shen Xingdu's eyes fell on his moist lips, but he didn't answer. .
"Why are you staring at my mouth if you're not thirsty?" Zhen Shuai thought he had found evidence and insisted on holding up the mineral water.
Shen Xingdu took it and gave it back to him after only one sip. He also drank it from a distance.
Zhen Shuai closed the lid, put the mineral water back into his backpack, and continued eating bread, his beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled. At this time, he could relax and think about the countless questions in his head. Who is the person behind this reality show? Why would there be so much energy to build such a strange "elevator" and design such a terrible game? What is their purpose? Are they still on Earth now? How can I get out of here? They didn't know whether there were really countless viewers watching this "reality show"...
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling, but did not see any cameras.
He did not doubt that they had just entered a virtual game, but his dagger was real. If this was just a virtual game, there was no way he could have brought his dagger in.
If you want to know the answer, I'm afraid you can only continue to complete the game and find more puzzles.
After eating the bread, Zhen Shuai took off his other shoe. It’s very uncomfortable to walk with only one shoe on. I always feel like one leg is long and the other is short. He didn't throw away the shoes, but tied them to his backpack with shoelaces.
Shen Xingdu suddenly began to take off his shoes.
Zhen Shuai quickly stopped him, "Are you going to put them on for me? No need. Your feet are bigger than mine, and your shoes don't fit me." Shen Xingdu stopped and nodded
.
"It's okay. The floor is covered with floor tiles anyway, so it won't be a problem if you don't wear shoes." Zhen Shuai said, "Let's go back and see what room the last room has been replaced with. It would be best if we can find some pattern." Regrettably
. The only thing is that the last room was not replaced by another room.
The two of them could only continue walking down.
The conditions for clearing the next room are relatively simple, requiring guests to choose a category of items and throw away all of them.
The items on the two people's bodies are nothing more than divided into several categories: accessories, clothing, food (water), weapons, communication tools and trophies.
The only accessories Zhen Shuai wears are a watch and a ring. Although he has forgotten where the ring came from, he subconsciously does not want to throw it away. He must not throw away his clothes, and he cannot be naked. Water, weapons and trophies cannot be thrown away either.
He chose to throw away the phone. Before throwing away the phone, he formatted the phone and took out the phone card.
Shen Xingdu's choice was the same as his.
The two passed the room easily and did not receive any clearance rewards this time.
The harvest in the previous room was pretty good, so Zhen Shuai didn't pay much attention.
After a while, they came to a new room.
There is someone in this room. It was the young couple, Zhen Shuai remembered them. The two were uninjured except for their hair and clothes being a little dirty. He silently made two marks on these two people that needed attention.
The boy enthusiastically invited Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, "Brother, come in, there is no danger inside."
Zhen Shuai observed without leaving a trace before walking in.
"Hello. My name is Su Pengyun, and this is my girlfriend, Du Chenxi." The boy said with a smile.
Zhen Shuai said: "I am Zhen Shuai, and this is Shen Xingdu."
Su Pengyun did not have any obvious reaction because of his name. He smiled and nodded, pointing to the glass box on the table in the middle of the room, "There are three pictures in it." For the puzzle, we need to use the vibration of sound to break the glass box to get the puzzle. The glass doesn't look thick, but it seems to be made of a special material. Chen Xi and I tried smashing it with our mobile phones, but it didn't break. We also tried shouting loudly, but it didn't work either. .You can try."
Another voice? Zhen Shuai just passed through a room related to sound not long ago and heard the "voice" again, and couldn't help but feel a little sensitive.
He moved closer to the glass box, and through the glass he could see that two of the puzzle pieces had the pattern facing up, and the other puzzle piece had the back facing upward.
"Huh?" Zhen Shuai made a surprised voice in his heart, his eyes fixed on the last piece of the puzzle. He discovered a letter among the seemingly messy lines in the pattern. If it weren't for the angle, he would have missed the letter. He immediately looked at another puzzle piece and searched carefully, and sure enough, there was also a letter. He couldn't help but think of the puzzle pieces in his hand. Could there be letters hidden in them?
"Little brother, have you thought of something?" Du Chenxi smiled sweetly and asked softly.
Zhen Shuai shook his head and glanced at Shen Xingdu. He estimated that if Shen Xingdu was alone, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word when he saw the request in this room. Because he really couldn't imagine Shen Xingdu shouting loudly.
As he imagined that scene, a smile appeared on his face, but he quickly came back to his senses.
"I'll give it a try."
Su Pengyun and Du Chenxi looked at him expectantly.
Zhen Shuai reminded: "You step back, or the broken glass will fall on you."
Su Pengyun hurriedly pulled Du Chenxi back a step, a very small step.
Zhen Shuai put his hands in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted, "Ah--" He was silently complaining in his heart: This is really stupid.
When the corner of his eye passed over Shen Xingdu, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a flash of smile in his eyes.
Until Zhen Shuai's screams stopped, the glass box didn't respond at all.
Zhen Shuai waved his hand, "This level is too difficult, I gave up."
Su Pengyun looked regretful, "Then it depends on you. We still want to try again. There is no way, from the time we came in until now, I and I The two girlfriends only found one puzzle piece. So, we must try these three puzzle pieces again." "
I wish you good luck." Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu left quickly.
Su Pengyun kept watching their backs disappear.
Du Chenxi was puzzled, "Aren't we going to leave? Haven't we tried many times?"
Su Pengyun still looked at the direction Zhen Shuai left, "I kind of doubt that Zhen Shuai actually thought of a way. He pretended to leave and waited for us to leave. After that, they will turn back."
Du Chenxi was surprised, "It is indeed possible, but you should be thoughtful."
The two waited for nearly twenty minutes, but Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu did not appear again.
Su Pengyun had to admit that he was overthinking and shook his head helplessly, "Let's go too. We've been wasting too much time here."
Du Chenxi nodded obediently.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu did leave, and Zhen Shuai did not try his best when he hit the glass box with his voice. Because he seemed to have discovered a way to leave the maze, and he couldn't wait to get out of here.
"Xingdu, let's both take out all our puzzle pieces."
Shen Xingdu took out all the puzzle pieces without any objection.
The same goes for Zhen Shuai.
"Which of these were found in the maze?"
Zhen Shuai asked, looking around cautiously in case anyone else came over.
Shen Xingdu divided the puzzle into two parts and pointed to the larger part.
Zhen Shuai carefully looked at every puzzle piece found in the maze and smiled confidently, "Sure enough, every puzzle piece found in the maze has a different letter hidden in it. I just thought that the puzzle pieces might be enough." I can’t use it until I get it, so I haven’t looked at these puzzle pieces carefully. I almost missed it.”
The attention of the audience in the live broadcast room was attracted.
"Are letters useful?" Supervisor Shen Xing asked.
The audience in the live broadcast room also wanted to ask this question.
Zhen Shuai laughed proudly, "It works, of course it works. I'm very sure now that we are in a "keyboard maze."
"Without waiting for
Shen Xingdu to ask, he continued: "The first room I passed was locked. It took me an hour, which is equivalent to stopping me for an hour. This room should represent the letter "P", and the most representative meaning of "P" is "parking". The second room I passed was a round room , represents the letter "O", the letter starting with "O", the most widely used word is OK, which is equivalent to safe, so there is no danger in this round room. The third room I entered was transferred as soon as I entered When we get to the next room, the third room should represent the next key. In the next two math problem rooms, the answers to the two math problems are that X is equal to 53 and Y is equal to 37. On the keyboard, the position of X It is the third key on the fifth row, which is 53. The position of Y is the seventh key on the third row, so it is 37. This is by no means a coincidence. Next is the room with glass floor, which represents the mute key; the room with glass box It represents the key to increase the volume. By the way, there is one room left out. The room where we discard a type of items represents the key to delete."
The audience exclaimed. The anchor’s reasoning is completely reasonable! According to this idea, the room with the flames represents the F key, and F equals Fire.
Although Shen Xingdu did not praise Zhen Shuai in words, he took out an apple from his backpack and handed it to him.
Zhen Shuai took it unceremoniously this time and took a bite. After saying so much, his mouth became dry again.
"Thank you. Therefore, the exit of the maze is not necessarily at the outermost periphery. We can leave the maze as long as we find the ESC key." The audience followed and pondered. What should I do to find the location of the esc key?
Shen Xingdu picked up the puzzle on the ground, "Is it related to the letters on the puzzle?"
Zhen Shuai gave a thumbs up, "Yes. Did you notice? The letters in each puzzle are in the middle of the card. So, if I If I guessed correctly, the esc key is also in the middle."
The audience forgot that the anchor could not "see" their comments, so they asked in unison.
[How to determine where the middle of the maze is? ]
Shen Xingdu said, "You mean, in the middle of each room."
Zhen Shuai looked at him in surprise, "I didn't expect that you and I have quite a tacit understanding."
Shen Xingdu's eyes softened.
The audience smiled knowingly.
Zhen Shuai nodded, "Yes, except for the escape key of the room, there may be an exit hidden in each room. Whether this is the case, we will find out after we try it." Ben Yiren posted a barrage
.
[I have a guess. If the anchor fell into the room with the glass floor, he might be able to leave the maze. 】
The rest of the audience were shocked at first when they saw the barrage, and then laughed.
[Possibly, you can ask the anchor to jump in and try. Hahaha! ]
[Don't make trouble, if not, the anchor will die if he falls. 】
"Let's go to the room with the glass box to try it out." Zhen Shuai pulled Shen Xingdu back, walking briskly, "I felt a sense of disobedience at that time. The glass box is not big, but it is as big as the table where the glass box is placed. , isn't it strange?"
The two quickly returned to the room with the glass box.
Fortunately, the room was not removed.
He and Shen Xingdu lifted up the square pillar together, revealing a hole underneath, which was big enough for one person to get in.
Zhen Shuai couldn't help but sigh, "Inertial thinking is terrible. As long as Su Pengyun and Du Chenxi try to push the table, they will find this exit."
"I first." Shen Xingdu said two words briefly, first Jumping in, after confirming that there was no danger, he nodded to Zhen Shuai.
Zhen Shuai slid down quickly.
As soon as he left, the table above suddenly moved on its own, blocking the hole again.
About seven or eight seconds later, a small team of two men and one woman walked over slowly...
Zhen Shuai's eyes dimmed and then brightened, and he appeared at the elevator door.
Shen Xingdu stood next to him.
There is a small identification screen next to the elevator.
Zhen Shuai took out a puzzle piece found in the maze and tried to put it in front of the screen. The screen lit up, there was a "beep" sound, and the elevator door opened.
He glanced at Governor Shen Xing and went in first.
The elevator doors closed immediately.
Zhen Shuai waited at the door for a while. The elevator door opened again and Shen Xingdu walked in.
"The content of the watch has been updated, please take a look." Zhen Shuai looked solemn. His points have increased a lot, and the watch prompts that he can spend 10 points to open the 1m×1m×1m space built into the watch to store supplies. This is a good thing. But this also shows that the person behind this "reality show" is not simple.
After seeing it, Shen Xingdu remained expressionless, as if nothing could change his expression.
Zhen Shuai couldn't help but be curious, who is he? Is there anything in this world that he cares about?
His voice was displayed on the screen of the live broadcast room by the 004 system.
Countless spectators commented excitedly.
[Anchor, it’s you! ]
[It’s you, it’s you, it’s you, our anchor Zhen Xiaoshuai! 】
Zhen Shuai scratched his ears. He seemed to hear some vague sounds again.
Chapter 450 The Third Game
Zhen Shuai now has a total of 144 points, 4 of which are from the first game, 40 from the four puzzles in the maze, and 100 from the reward for being the first to leave the maze.
The watch also told him that the mall was officially open to him. He could enter the mall by clicking "Enter Mall" on the watch. He could not enter the mall during the game. There is everything in the mall, you can buy (rent) a room to rest, you can also buy weapons, skills, etc. However, the higher the value of the product, the more points you need. Guests who have just entered the game cannot afford it. For a rest room, you can spend 5 points to stay for 1 hour, and 50 points to stay for 24 hours (can be accumulated). Zhen Shuai's points are only enough for a two-night stay.
Another benefit after completing the second game is that the watch will inform guests in advance when the next game will start. In this way, guests can reasonably arrange their rest time.
The next game starts in two hours.
Shen Xingdu also finished reading the updated contents of his watch at this time.
Zhen Shuai didn't take the liberty to ask him how many points he had, but Shen Xingdu took the initiative to show it to him.
In order to understand some rules of the reality show game, Zhen Shuai shamelessly watched it.
Shen Xingdu also received a reward of 100 points. Another 4 points were obtained from the first game, and 70 points came from the seven puzzles in the maze.
Zhen Shuai was secretly surprised. This guy was quite powerful. He actually got seven puzzle pieces in the maze.
He also had a guess, maybe the top three who left the maze first would be rewarded with a hundred points.
He wanted to wait here to see who the third person was.
He said to Shen Xingdu: "You help me buy 50 points for food and water, and a pair of hiking boots. I'll wait here to see who comes in next. I'll transfer some points to you first. ."
Shen Xingdu said "No need", clicked his finger on the watch, and then the whole person disappeared into thin air.
Zhen Shuai thought he had already entered the mall.
In less than 5 minutes, Shen Xingdu came back. Zhen Shuai was stunned for a moment and said, "So fast." Shen Xingdu was holding
a shopping bag in his hand. He took it and saw 5 bottles of water, 5 apples and 5 bags in it. Compressed biscuits and a pair of shoes.
Zhen Shuai opened his watch and browsed the products. A bottle of water was worth 5 points, a bag of compressed biscuits was worth 5 points, a pair of shoes was worth 10 points, but an apple cost 6 points. Shen Xingdu bought the five apples on his own initiative. Zhen Shuai was not angry because he quite liked eating apples, so he just bought them.
"I'll transfer the points to you."
After putting the things into the euphemistic space, he motioned to Shen Xingdu to stretch out his hand.
Shen Xingdu hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand.
Zhen Shuai transferred 90 points to him, leaving 54 points.
"I suggest you also buy 24 hours of room accommodation. It's cheaper to buy 24 hours at a time. It's more expensive to buy it individually." Shen Xingdu nodded and did some operations on his watch
.
He was so obedient that Zhen Shuai felt embarrassed and the corners of his mouth turned up without realizing it.
He sat on the floor, opened a pack of compressed biscuits, and took a bite. He was a little surprised that it tasted pretty good. He ate while staring at the elevator door.
"Wait another 10 minutes. If no one comes in, we will go back to rest. We only have two hours of rest time in total, and we can't afford to delay it here." Shen Xingdu nodded and opened a pack of compressed biscuits, as if Learn from Zhen Shuai.
The audience in the live broadcast room said "so cute".
"I don't know what happened to Qiu Zhengxuan and Shang Lezhang." Zhen Shuai was a little worried. But there was nothing he could do. In a place like this, everyone could only rely on themselves.
Shen Xingdu just listened without speaking.
The ten minutes were up quickly and no one showed up.
Zhen Shuai stood up and said, "Let's go."
Clicking "Enter Room", he instantly appeared in a standard hotel-style room with two beds, a toilet and a bathroom.
Zhen Shuai thought to himself that two people could actually share a room like this and save a lot of points.
His psychological activities were once again displayed on the screen of the live broadcast room by the 004 system.
Some fans couldn't help but complain: [I always feel that this reality show will be a matchmaker for the anchor and Brother Shen to be together again. 】
This complaint received crazy likes from hundreds of millions of viewers.
Zhen Shuai took a combat bath, put on clean clothes, and washed the dirty clothes in the washing machine, dried them, and stored them in the watch space. Then, he set the alarm clock and climbed into bed.
He was so tired that he quickly fell asleep, and the audience in the live broadcast room quietly admired his sleeping face.
The examination mechanism has been restored, and some busy viewers took this opportunity to deal with serious matters.
An hour and a half later, Zhen Shuai was woken up by the alarm clock.
He was confused for a few seconds before he remembered his current situation, and quickly got up to wash up and tidy up his appearance. He didn't lose his backpack, he still carried it.
When he clicked "Return to the Elevator" on the watch, Zhen Shuai saw a countdown in the upper right corner of the watch. This was the countdown for the right to use the room. The countdown has not changed and will start again the next time he enters the room.
Shen Xingdu had already arrived. Seeing him appear, he naturally walked to his side.
He also changed his clothes, a white shirt, jeans, and Martin boots. He was so handsome that it made others want to cry.
"But it doesn't include me." Zhen Shuai puffed out his chest and added silently in his heart.
He had no idea that this psychological activity would be seen by tens of billions of viewers.
Many viewers habitually cover their faces when laughing, because if they don't cover their faces, their faces will easily become sore from laughter.
"Commander!"
Qiu Zhengxuan and Shang Lezhang appeared one after another.
Zhenshuai saw that Shang Lezhang's left arm was injured and was wrapped in thick gauze. He asked with concern: "
Shang Lezhang, are you injured? Are you okay?"
Shang Lezhang said with a bitter smile: "I was plotted in the maze. In the mall. There are potions for quick recovery, but they are too expensive, and the points Zhengxuan and I combined are not enough to redeem them."
Qiu Zhengxuan just shook his head, not in the mood to talk.
"Have you two opened the appearance space? If not, I still have some points that I can transfer to you." Zhen Shuai said.
Shang Lezhang opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Qiu Zhengxuan.
"Don't worry, our outer space has been opened, and some food and water have been stored." Zhen Shuai noticed that Shang Lezhang glanced at
Qiu Zhengxuan displeased. Just as he was about to speak, his arm was touched by Shen Xingdu.
Shen Xingdu motioned him to observe the crowd.
Only then did Zhen Shuai realize that the number of people was almost half less than the previous game. There were only 50 people in the elevator.
At this time, the elevator door opened.
The mysterious voice said coldly and ruthlessly: "All guests please leave the elevator within one minute, otherwise, they will be wiped out!"
Everyone had experience this time and did not dare to fight anymore. They crowded together and poured out of the elevator.
Then they found themselves on a campus. There were students in school uniforms walking around. They looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, young and energetic. They should all be college students.
The scene before them looked very beautiful, as if they had left the game and returned to the normal world. But it was clear to everyone that this was not the case, as they received the latest mission on their watches.
The description of the task is very concise: [Survive at Kunizuka Art Academy for 48 hours before you can return to the elevator. You need to use the puzzle as a voucher to enter the elevator again. 】
Zhen Shuai felt his liver hurt when he saw the word "国冢". If he hadn't seen it wrong in the first place, how could he have entered this ghost game?
He gossiped and asked Shen Xingdu, "How did you get into this reality show? Do you also think of "Guozhong" as "country"?" He said so, but in his heart he thought that Shen Xingdu was not performing well. Desire person.
Shen Xingdu shook his head, "It's just a feeling that tells me I must come."
Shang Lezhang said: "Don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about the mission. I think this school seems normal, and I don't see anything dangerous. Looks like that."
None of the other guests left, standing still and looking around cautiously.
Their behavior was actually very strange among the students coming and going, and they were not wearing uniform school uniforms, but those students did not notice anything strange at all. It could be seen from their eyes that these students regarded them as normal students. .
Qiu Zhengxuan said to Zhen Shuai: "Anyway, let's get familiar with the school environment first. Yue Zhang and I walked around to the east and looked for puzzle pieces on the way. Marshal, you have a lot of ideas." He glanced at Shen Xingdu , although this person looks very reliable, after all, he and Zhen Shuai have just met, and he doesn’t know what his character is like.
Zhen Shuai nodded, "I know, and so do you." Qiu Zhengxuan didn't ask him to meet up, so he didn't mention it.
Shang Lezhang said half jokingly and half seriously: "Commander, you only care about Zhengxuan?"
Zhen Shuai clicked his tongue, "You are not a little girl, are you pretentious?"
Shang Lezhang saw that Qiu Zhengxuan had left, so he had to go Chase him.
"Zhengxuan, why don't we go with the commander? The one named Shen seems to be very powerful. It will be much safer for us to follow them." "If you want to follow them, you can go ahead." Zhu Zhengxuan said without stopping
.
Shang Lezhang smiled and said, "Forget it, I'd better go with you and keep you company."
Qiu Zhengxuan also smiled.
On the other side, Marshal Zhen said to Supervisor Shen Xing, "Let's go to the west." The
sun was shining and people were coming and going, making people feel very safe psychologically. The other guests were not too nervous and dispersed in small groups.
Kunizuka Art Academy is large and beautiful. Gardens, lawns, lakes, stone bridges, bamboo forests... every landscape can become a computer desktop if you take a photo. The school also has a strong artistic atmosphere. You can see art students sitting in front of drawing boards everywhere, and you can also hear the melodious sound of the piano in the distance.
When passing by the lake, Zhen Shuai couldn't help but stand behind the boy who was painting for a long time.
His painting skills amazed Zhen Shuai. The black swan in the painting almost fluttered its wings and flew out of the painting paper.
The boy seemed to have heard his exclamation and turned around.
Zhen Shuai smiled apologetically, "Sorry to bother you. You draw so well." "
Thank you." The boy smiled sheepishly, thought for a while, and took out a card from his school bag, "I will be there in two days. We are holding a small art exhibition. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."
Zhen Shuai was thinking about how to refuse to prevent this classmate from wasting the invitation, when he suddenly noticed that the material of the invitation was exactly the same as the puzzle he had received before. And there are a lot of lines on the cover too. Only then did he realize that this was also a puzzle piece.
He thanked her immediately and accepted the invitation. He pointed at Governor Shen Xing and said, "This is a good friend of mine. He is also very interested in the art exhibition. Can you also give him an invitation letter?" The boy smiled and declined, "It's not
a large art exhibition.
With such strict access requirements, you can just take him in when the time comes."
Zhen Shuai was a little disappointed, but remained calm, "That's great. I won't bother you anymore, bye."
The boy nodded and threw himself into it again in the painting.
