The dragonfly-shaped camera started and followed Charles to film.
The drawer was empty, so Charles was stunned for a moment when he opened it, and then turned to look for other clues.
The secret room is set up as a study room. A pair of single beds are placed in the corner. Behind the desk is a bookshelf, which is filled with real books.
The scene switched to Li Man and Harris again. The two were just like ordinary people who were exposed to a decryption game for the first time. They looked around in confusion, grabbing an object and looking back and forth to confirm whether it was a clue.
The director then switched the camera to the secret room where Mu Su was, and all the viewers saw a face close to the camera.
"It seems that Mu Su has discovered our footage." Clark made a face to the audience: "It's a pity that there is no additional reward."
After a burst of laughter, the director cut the screen back to Charles who had made new progress.
In the secret room, Mu Su observed this crystal-like round metal object for a while, then jumped down from the table.
His dark eyes gradually narrowed.
…
The drawer was half open and empty inside.
A hardcover autobiography is placed on the table, with a quill sandwiched between the pages. It seems that the owner has something to do and temporarily used it as a bookmark.
He reached out to pick up the book and slowly unfolded it, the smell of book paper emanating from it.
[Claude knew in his heart that his extravagant hopes, desires, and desires were all in vain. God damn pounds, damn capitalists, he should have known better. He should have poured coffee on his head, and inhaled the fragrance.
Avenue des Chelys…that cafe]
The last paragraph was scrawled out.
Mu Su looked away, holding the autobiography in one hand, and took another book on the table with the other hand. He opened it thoughtfully, and inadvertently ran his index finger across the pages, turning the pages quickly.
The pages are brand new and have no stains, indicating that the owner has no habit of scribbling.
"So...the things that were erased are probably clues."
He walked around to the desk and sat down like a master.
"What are the words that were erased? That cafe on the Champs-Elysees... No. There is no point in erasing it." Mu Su murmured to himself as he tapped his knuckles on the table. "Is it just a pretense?
What? Clues that can lead people into misunderstandings..."
After a moment, his black eyes lit up slightly: "I see, is this the way to leave the secret room..."
…
The second round has been going on for 10 minutes.
The time allowed for all contestants in the escape room is 30 minutes.
The main screen was originally played back and forth between the contestants. Since the other three people except Charles made no substantial progress, they stayed in Charles' secret room.
I saw Charles take out a book from the bookcase. With a slight shake, a leaf bookmark fell from the seam of the book.
Host Clark promptly explained: "Charles has obtained a key clue. I just don't know what the maple leaves are for..." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the director's request to switch the screen.
So after the director switched the screen, Clark briefly commented on the two players Li Man and Hades. Their progress was still on the page.
"I don't know how the progress of the Musu player is. As a 'famous' detective, he may have already obtained the key..." Clark deliberately emphasized the famous three words, causing a burst of laughter.
So the director cut the scene to the secret room where Mu Su was.
So all the audience saw Mu Su banging on the iron door, pressing his head against the crack of the door and shouting at the top of his lungs: "Is there anyone! Let me out!! Help!!!"
The audience burst into laughter, especially those who had been watching Mu Su's Secret Chamber from beginning to end. On the contrary, Clark's hands were shaking and she was speechless.
What are you doing? What is this guy’s background? How can anyone do a show like this! Who is he! Who is he! Who found him!
"Then... let's take a look at Charles' side again." Clark's voice was trembling as he spoke, and he abruptly turned the screen without comment.
At the same time, the contestants in the other three secret rooms heard faint sounds and looked outside the door in unison.
Is it the noise made by the program crew? Charles thought to himself, comparing the leaves one by one with the leaves of the potted plant on the desk without stopping.
There are no two identical things in the world - this is true in physics.
Two identical things exist - another philosophical statement.
But if you just fool your eyes, you can do it physically. Charles found a leaf in the pot that had the same outline as his hand and pulled it off.
He took it to his eyes and observed carefully, it seemed that there were scratches on it. He quickly took the ink bottle from the table, dipped the leaf in ink, and printed it on the blank paper beside it.
New clues emerge.
【chandelier】
Charles raised his head.
…
Click——
The tight door opened a gap.
Charles, with messy hair, poked his head out of the secret room.
Outside is the living room layout, with the same locked door, and there are no other players.
Seeing that he was the first to come out, Charles breathed a sigh of relief. Then he picked it up again.
This show is either the first to pass or the first. Charles understands this.
As a well-known gamer and the holder of multiple game speed records, Charles’ competitiveness is self-evident.
As a normal person, he naturally thought of an idea: to help other players leave the secret room together.
It is understandable to think so, after all, not everyone is like Mu Su. Rather than racking your brains to please the audience, it is simpler and easier to help other players by providing clues when you already know where the key is.
Charles went to the nearest door, knocked and asked, "Who's in there?"
"Who... Charles? Have you come out already?" The voice through the wooden board was filled with surprise.
Feeling a little complacent, Charles coughed lightly: "Look under the single bed to see if there is a card."
Li Man came to the window, groped for a moment, and pulled out a frosted card from under the bed.
"found it!"
"Look up, look for the vent, and throw the card in."
Li Man hesitated slightly, but finally stood up on tiptoes and put the card into the vent.
Nothing happened.
Just when Li Man opened his mouth to ask, a red key was thrown out of the vent and fell to the ground.
After rescuing Li Man, Charles walked to an adjacent door without stopping, knocked on it and asked, "Who is inside?"
"Who's talking?" Hades' muffled voice came through the crack in the door.
"What's this?"
Charles, who was about to answer, looked back and saw Li Man holding a bunch of keys, four in total, red, blue, green and purple.
It seems that the program team has already prepared for the first contestant to leave the secret room.
…
Click——
The third secret room door opened, and Hades walked out of it with thanks.
"Hurry up."
Charles said something, and the three of them took the keys to the last door, unlocked it, and opened it.
Then I saw——
Mu Su was lying face down on the floor. The ink spilled to the side, his index finger was stained with ink, and there was a line of writing crookedly written next to his finger.
[The murderer is...]
A killer plot that you never get tired of playing.
