0104 Chapter 3: The Unbelievable Kidnapping Case (Section 14)
After seeing through the doctor's suggestion, Zhen Cheng's choice was to take advantage of the situation:
"Food is indeed more important, but before that, I think there is another problem that needs to be solved first. That is one more room than us..."
She looked at the doctor thoughtfully, and the latter nodded understandingly: "That's right, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat until I figure this out. Let's go and check out the eighth Category C room first!"
Regardless of whether the guys in the eighth room are dead or alive, presumably as long as you open that door, you will get some clues that will help clarify the reason for the setting of "each person corresponds to a weapon". This is Zhen
Something that Cheng and the doctor both believed.
And if things turn out to be what they think, figuring out the rules before anyone else realizes them can be a huge advantage.
The door was pried open by Zhen Cheng relatively easily. The inside... seemed no different from the other Category C rooms. Four sets of one-piece bedding, waste paper and garbage on the floor, empty beds and tabletops, open windows...
Zhen Cheng first walked to the window and used strong light to look outside. It was also dark, without the starry sky or the ground in the distance. After thinking about it, she didn't dare to stick her head out and look up like she did in her room at the beginning.
The current situation.
There was no bedding on the bed, and there were no wrinkles left on the bare wooden boards where the bedding had been pressed. It was impossible to tell whether anyone like them had been here before.
There are messy footprints on the thick dust on the ground, but this can't prove anything, because every opened Class C room is in the same situation. And the wind blowing in from the open window makes it impossible for Zhen Cheng to distinguish the ground
Are those vague shoe prints new or old?
Well, there is indeed wind. Although things thrown out of the window seem to be completely unaffected by air resistance, there is still wind blowing in from the outside. Is this the characteristic of a secret space?
However, they found the same file contents in the room as Zhen Cheng's. But it was no longer a child's graffiti, but a complex calculation formula that no one could understand. If these things are any clues,
It seems to only indicate the resource constraints of the residents in the corridor.
There is no problem with the document "Regulations on the Merger of Residential Areas and Related Experimental Areas" appearing here. The original purpose of its existence is to remind every resident to avoid forgetting the spatial structure of the corridor room arrangement.
But the strange thing is that Zhen Cheng also found a blank piece of paper with the prompt "Class B Comprehensive Competition" printed in the empty room at the same time.
As a junior high school student casually said, the first type of secret space is like a logically regulated game process. Obviously, rules like this have nothing to do with the original scene, and are only for "interlopers" like them. Logically speaking, they should appear in
Public areas that can only be opened under certain conditions, such as offices and the like.
It would be a little strange to randomly appear in someone's room, but it is not completely unacceptable. However, if information that only needs to be disclosed is placed in everyone's room at the same time, Zhen Cheng's worst expectations may come true.
become real:
Assuming that the first type of secret space is really a "game" subjectively designed by some mysterious will, then the "human beings" whose hands and feet are bound and imprisoned in the locked room will not be able to escape quickly as usual, and will not enter their current situation.
The "game flow".
Following this line of reasoning, the people trapped in the room dug out a few wastes that they could not figure out until they starved to death. Normal people would start searching the room after a few hours of futile attempts, even if it was just to find a few melon seeds.
Alleviate hunger.
Then, in this case, the files in Zhen Cheng's hand will be discovered prior to the time of escaping from the room.
If everyone is trapped in a room and first knows each other's existence and situation, there will be no relationship between saving and being saved; at the same time, there will not be such technology today, and the absolute gap between brainpower and force is clearly displayed, so that it makes people feel uncomfortable.
A situation where people need to think twice before taking risks.
At this time, people who were driven crazy by hunger and fear, after finding ways to escape from the room one after another, the first thing that came to their mind was the reminder of the note found in the room...
Her eyes were fixed on the word "competition".
Perhaps killing each other is the only way to get out of here. In this way, the weapons arsenal corresponds to the number of people, and the reason why each weapons arsenal only has one item is easily solved.
A series of inferences form their own logic, and all they lack is substantive evidence to prove them. Zhen Cheng tapped his temples and murmured:
"Doctor, can you please split all the furniture in the room? Don't worry about the too strong parts, just focus on destroying the wooden slats of the bed and the bottom of the drawer that can be opened with bare hands.
Sister Mask, please go to other Category F rooms and see if there are any reminders on the doors. Note, it’s for every room.
Firefighter, please take the junior high school students with you to look in other Category C rooms to see if there is the same information."
As she spoke, she placed a blank piece of paper with the words "Class B Comprehensive Competition" in front of the firefighter. Zhen Cheng did not make any arrangements for the short-haired woman and the martial arts instructor who were obviously not willing to follow instructions.
There are only so many rooms, and there are no time bombs or anything like that to rush for time, so Zhen Cheng has not prioritized continuing to search for clues to advance his escape for the time being.
In contrast, figuring out the relationship between the people around you in the rules and preventing or solving the evil influence from "companions" as early as possible are top priorities.
Everyone quickly broke into action. Except for the blaring martial arts instructor, no one questioned Zhen Cheng's instructions, although no one, including the doctor, really understood the purpose of Zhen Cheng's series of arrangements.
What’s interesting is that they all chose to remain silent, trying to figure out the reasons behind their actions through Zhen Cheng’s instructions. This is everyone’s confidence in their own intelligence. Although no one has fully figured out the motivation and logic of Zhen Cheng’s test yet,
But the word "competition" is visible to everyone.
It is difficult for this group of people who can stain their hands with blood in a peaceful society not to think of threats from the same kind from that brief reminder.
The martial arts coach who kept asking questions without knowing the truth once again exposed himself with his behavior as if he was really "the stupidest person here". Naturally, no one would help or explain anything. As for why his blood couldn't
Open the door, this is an issue that only Zhen Cheng needs to think about.
Two minutes later, the first person to run back was the red-haired girl.
"Of the five remaining Category F rooms, there is only one door that can be found on the door. The mark on it says 'youngest person'." She replied, her mood not showing any waves at all, as if she just wanted to listen to Zhen Cheng
It's as if he can escape.
Zhen Cheng never understood where her trust came from, but she still chose to entrust her with the important task that required sincerity and that would be difficult to detect even if she casually fabricated lies about the investigation results.
"Are all the marks you saw just now, including the sentence about the stupidest person, still there?" Zhen Cheng asked again.
