One hundred and seventy-two chapters death fantasy (5)

This guess is obviously impossible.

Jian Yan's eyes kept wandering in the cramped and narrow space, looking for the target he wanted.

The so-called "analysis addiction" and the disorder itself strengthen the player, as if giving him a scanner that can cover the entire room and see them all.

These rules and regulations are formed in Jian Jian's mind like a task manager.

Cabinet door, normal.

Toilet, normal.

Ceiling, normal.



Jian Yi instantly found a problem among these seemingly normal trivial objects.

The mirror in front of the wash basin.

Although there are only a few traces, ordinary people's eyes can't even capture the information that is almost impossible to find, but Jian Yi still found it.

It seemed to be handwriting, but it was extremely blurry.

It's so blurry that it almost blends in with the mirror.

"It's such a vulgar plot again, luckily I didn't expect it..."

Jian Jian almost laughed in anger. The person who dared to set up a trap was an escape room enthusiast?

I believe many script killing or escape room players have the same feeling:

The person who is retaliating against you will not directly kill you, but will kidnap you to a place, and then give you a riddle, and finally reveal some key information in a subtle way, for fear that you will not be able to escape, and for fear that you will escape.

The process is too simple.

It's just like some players of single-player games. They think the difficulty is too high and can't play it, so they adjust the difficulty to the highest level; but they think it's too easy and not challenging, so they adjust the difficulty of the game back.

It's as if human life is just a game for their hands.

Most of the scripts and escape rooms in recent years have this theme, and even some of the scripts that Jian Yi has encountered recently have almost the same development.

Yes, some perverts can indeed derive pleasure from this process.

But most of them are still normal people. How come there are so many crazy people and perverts!

If there were so many crazy people in the world, would you still be alive today?

Jian Jian complained while looking at the mirror opposite.

It’s not like everyone has never played this kind of game before, or most people had this bad taste in their childhood:

On a rainy day, I write on the foggy bus window, write the name of someone I hate, and then erase it viciously.

Jian Yi was obviously not that naive. He just let out a gentle breath, and a faint mist rolled over the mirror in an instant, and specific words gradually appeared.

Although the water vapor will liquefy again soon, with simple memory... this is not a big problem.

If you read it correctly, there are vague fonts on the left and right sides of the mirror - English, and they are symmetrical.

On the left it says: Five Little Little Negro Boys Going In West For Law.

On the right is a sentence with exactly the same number of words: Left One In East Since He He Lost Brad Shaw.

"Five little Indians went west to file a lawsuit, but one forgot his train schedule and stayed in the east..."

Jian Yan said to himself while looking at the center of the mirror:

There is a letter as well as a common symbol:

↑,N.

The upward arrow is written directly above the letter N.

Sentences from the Mother Goose nursery rhyme were once quoted by Agatha Christie in her work "The Mousetrap".

It can be seen that the designer's love for mystery novels has reached an insane level, and even the murders include so many reasoning elements.

Apart from being interesting, Jian Yan also felt a slight sense of dissonance.

"The content of the original sentence is: Five little Indians caused trouble and filed lawsuits. They were involved in lawsuits until they died, and only four of the five were left..."

There are obvious signs of alteration.

"It's interesting, so why did you change this nursery rhyme..."

Direct quotation is the method that normal people would think of.

Why change?

In this way, the meaning of the original sentence will change, so it is better to write a new sentence yourself...

Jian Yi was talking to himself, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Retained part of the original sentence, but made changes based on it..."

He seemed to have noticed something and murmured to himself: "Maybe the clues are hidden in the changed parts?"

It's like playing to find the differences.

That is to say...

“Five Little Negro Boys Going In West For Law.Left One In East Since He Lost Brad Shaw..."

Jian Yan recited two sentences over and over again, his eyes constantly scanning the empty mirror.

How can these two sentences be connected to solve the puzzle...

Easily and quickly reproduce the information on the mirror in your mind:

The mirrors on both sides are two nursery rhymes, and in the middle...

It's the letter N and the symbol pointing upward.

North means above?

"Up north, south, left, west, right, east?" Jian Jian said as he connected everything in the bathroom with two nursery rhymes:

North represents up, so the other directions are also directly linked to the three directions of "down", "left" and "right".

In terms of orientation, there are also two words in the two nursery rhymes: west and east.

"That is, left and right?"

He simply walked out of the bathroom and stood at the door, looking at everything in the bathroom again.

Such an asymmetrical bathroom has nothing to do with "left and right".

The left side is a real wall, and the right side is the toilet...

"Is it possible for me to sit on the toilet and stare at the wall? Isn't this too cheap?"

Jian Yi complained while looking around.

There are indeed two double doors in the bathroom, one on the left and one on the right...

He checked a little, but only found that they were ordinary wooden doors. Except for the double opening, they seemed to be no different from ordinary doors. There were no mechanisms, no hidden compartments, and even the principle was just a simple push and pull...

Is there anything else I've missed...

Jian Jian focused his gaze on the washbasin directly opposite: "Maybe... it's been here from the beginning..."

Above the wash basin, directly below the mirror and on both sides of the faucet, are two water outlets.

One left and one right.

"Yes, there really may be something hidden in this pool..."

Simply turn your attention back to the nursery rhyme itself:

Five Little Negro Boys Going In West For Law.

Left One In East Since He Lost Brad Shaw.

A number appears on each side:

Five, one.

Five of them are in the "west", which is the "left"; one is in the "east", which is the right.

The difference from the original sentence is that the original "four" has been changed to one.

This changed part is probably the key to the clue.

"Just give it a try, it won't hurt anyway."

According to your guess, simply turn the water outlet knob on the left five times, and the one on the right only needs to turn once.

5,1,left,right.

Perfect closed loop.

"Bang!"

The moment the simple action was completed, a deafening sound instantly erupted from the sink.
