Ch6 - Escape From the Sky

Edited by Ning

Xia Xiqing originally thought that the so-called escape room reality show is to set up a semi-open studio, leave the guests in it, and a lot of VJs follow, and everyone can perform in the room to escape step by step according to the script.

Unexpectedly, things were not what he thought. They were blindfolded with a black cloth and taken to a certain place without even being told what kind of secret room they were in. Before leaving, the director specifically requested, “Please don’t talk before the machines start recording.” rCwFSj

He felt that he had been held and led by two people for a long time, and then he was arranged to sit on a chair. He thought that this was the end. Unexpectedly, the other party tied him firmly with a rope. He couldn’t move. He vaguely heard the sound of metal collision, and his wrist felt cold.

His hands were handcuffed and bent on his chest.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

If it wasn’t for the recording, Xia Xiqing would have suspected that he had been kidnapped.

He now understands what the director has been saying just now, “This show pursues realism, and the staff will never interfere, so we don’t know what will happen to everyone here.” q3VaXd

Zhou Ziheng vaguely heard the footsteps of several people. His hands were tied by the rope and hung above his knees. His ankles were tightly bound and could not move. Just when he felt confused, the black cloth on his eyes was removed by the staff.

The sudden clarity of his vision brought him a strong sense of maladjustment. Zhou Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly. In front of him is a closed room, different from many escape rooms with horror themes, the view here is fairly bright, and the roof was projected with a faint yellow light. Except for the two large rows of bookshelves against the wall, most of the furniture was covered with white cloth, which looks strange.

But none of these were enough to surprise him.

Because the scene in front of him was more unexpected than the secret room.

After the black cloth covered the brilliance of the eyes, the mole on the tip of his nose became more prominent, making him helpless and well-behaved.

Although Zhou Ziheng is very clear, neither of these two words belong to him. ZIQk0g

The handcuffs on his wrists glowed with cold metallic luster under the dim light, and his wrist bones were slightly raised, which seemed to collide with the metal to make a crisp sound. The rope was like a winding snake, wrapped around his body tightly, as if the traces of the muscles under the fabric could be seen.

The black cloth shielded Zhou Ziheng from seeing those frivolous eyes. This seemed to be the first time he unscrupulously observed the man in front of him, the man who was hypocritical and cunning in his heart.

He looked a little pitiful, Zhou Ziheng thought from the bottom of his heart. In other words, it made people have a strange desire to make him more pitiful.

He doesn’t know why, but at this moment, he can suddenly understand the psychology of some people with special habits. xN1ESu

“The game officially begins.” A voice with a slight metallic texture through the sound transformer came out from the top of his head, interrupting Zhou Ziheng’s delusion that grew like weeds in his mind.

“Welcome to 《Escape From the Sky》, now, please forget your original identity. In this game, you are players trapped in a secret room. Please note that the secret room here is not only one room, but many connecting rooms, which means that when you open the door of your secret room, you will enter a new secret room and there may be people trapped like you. The one who escapes all the secret rooms and leaves the room in the shortest time will become the winner of the game and get the highest score. The accumulated points of other players are calculated based on the escape time, and 1 point will be deducted every 10 minutes.”

This is really secondary two. Xia Xiqing smiled, but the prompt sound did not end.

“One thing needs to be pointed out. The biggest difference of 《Escape From the Sky》 is that this is not a simple escape room reality show. There is a killer among the players. Unlike ordinary players, he needs to hide his identity and have the right to “kill” players. The players who were killed have their points zeroed in this round, and the killer can only kill one player in one episode. Of course, ordinary players can also use reasoning and judgment to find the “killer” in your heart, to use voting to “kill” the “killer” when all the players are gathered together. Once the “killer” becomes the final winner, every ordinary player in the game is counted as dead. Their score will be 0 for this round, the killer will get double points. ” uGTZWn

“In the process of the game, you need to make full use of your intelligence to start thinking and reasoning. If you encounter a puzzle that you can’t do anything about, you can spend time in advance to exchange clues, which means that your escape time will increase and your points will decrease accordingly. The player with the highest total points will become the champion of this season’s program and win the mystery award.”

“Each of you does not have any auxiliary decryption equipment, only a modified mobile phone. This mobile phone has four functions: first, to receive information from the program team. Second, to advance time to buy clues. Third, to start the timer after the first player clears the level. Fourth, to submit your suspected killer and complete the execution by secret ballot. Note: Players cannot use mobile phones to communicate with each other. You can only carry out on-site dialogue and communication. The introduction of the rules is complete.”

The voice paused, followed by three ticking sounds similar to the countdown of a clock.

Three . dHZulo

Two.

One.

“Now, the game begins.”

Hearing these words, Xia Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the chair with his head tilted back. Zhou Ziheng looked at his every move and realized that he certainly did not know his existence now. This kind of “voyeurism” seemed aboveboard. gcWp9D

Although in Zhou Ziheng’s moral view, such a practice is not worth encouraging, Xia Xiqing is an exception. He is insidious and cunning, and has no shame or bottom line. He has never met anyone like him. Therefore, when facing him, Zhou Ziheng’s usual behavior pattern always fails uncontrollably.

Xia Xiqing tried to reach the black cloth on his eyes with his hands, but his arms were completely entangled and he couldn’t lift them at all. After several attempts, he failed. He couldn’t help sighing and muttering to himself softly, “I can’t see at all. Is the first phase waiting for death?”

Zhou Ziheng wanted to laugh a little. He doesn’t know why. Observing Xia Xiqing now seems to have diminished the urgency of escaping from the secret room.

He couldn’t see at all, and couldn’t move his hands and feet. Xia Xiqing could only lightly touch the ground with his heels, tilting his head back, leaning back lazily on the chair, and not talking. The room was quiet and eerie. Zhou Ziheng deliberately didn’t make a sound. He was clearly trapped. Helping each other was the best strategy. Besides, they were still recording the show. They couldn’t keep going like this, but he just wanted to watch Xia Xiqing’s jokes. OkIdc1

Probably because he is really bad, so in Zhou Ziheng’s heart, such a person deserves to be straightened.

It’s an illusion of acting for heaven.

To his surprise, the man who had seemed so lazy before, almost giving up struggling suddenly sat upright, sitting straight facing Zhou Ziheng, as if the eyes covered by the black cloth could pass through the barrier and staring at him intently.

That’s right, just “watching” him. 0bHkDp

Zhou Ziheng frowned since he was sure that he didn’t make any noise.

All of a sudden, Xia Xiqing’s head tilted, and the corner of his mouth raised a very gentle arc.

“Help me with the blindfold.”

Impossible. He obviously couldn’t see. 8rcEeD
