After locking the door, Karl collapsed on the ground for a while before calming down his nervousness.
Looking out the window, the sun covered by the dark sky had begun to set, and he realized that it was already dusk. Fortunately, he had eaten something in the hotel when he got up at noon, so he didn't feel hungry yet.
Wait, windows!
Karl immediately remembered that when he first arrived, he had observed the passers-by outside the theater from this window, and said that this was the hope of escape!
So he rushed to the window and looked out. Sure enough, this window was facing the outside of the theater. At this moment, he could still see the scene on the road outside. It seemed that there was no problem here!
Although the room he was in was on the third floor of the theater, and he would definitely be injured if he jumped from here, he was more willing to take the risk and jump to survive than stay and face the unknown mysterious existence.
"It must work."
Karl rubbed his hands and came to the window. Unfortunately, this plan also collapsed immediately.
Because even if he used all his strength, he couldn't open the lock of this window. It was like it was welded to the window edge. No matter how hard he tried, it didn't loosen even a millimeter.
He then tried to break the glass with objects in the house to get out, but this was also a delusion because the window was not as strong as glass at all.
According to Karl's knowledge, this thing is simply an alloy steel plate covered with glass, which is incredibly hard.
Even though I smashed it hard, I couldn't even leave a white mark on it. Trying to destroy it and get out is completely delusional!
After confirming that he could not escape from here, Karl looked out the window helplessly and sighed. It was really helpless that he could not leave even though there was only this thin layer between them.
Although he wanted to shout for help outside, his reason told him that 80% of the people outside could not hear the sounds in the theater, and it was more likely that he would attract "people" in the theater if he called for help.
Faced with this dilemma, Karl thought for a while and made a final struggle. He used the ink in the house to paint a big "sos" on the window, hoping that people outside could see it and come in to save him.
In fact, someone did see this [sos] outside the window, but it was of no use.
Because what Karl didn't know was that [sos] was first used as a distress signal in Germany on April 1, 1905, and it became an internationally accepted distress signal on November 3, 1906.
The current time is June 28, 1899, and [sos] has not been used at all. Pedestrians outside see this sign and cannot understand that it is the abbreviation of SOS. This is just a waste of effort.
After the confused Karl made his last effort at the window, he slowly sat on a chair in the room and carefully analyzed his situation.
There are a few pieces of information that are clear now.
First of all, the current situation is that there is no way to leave this theater by one's own ability;
Then tonight, Marianne, who looked very problematic at first glance, invited herself;
Also, there is definitely something supernatural in this theater;
Finally, although everyone I have met here has a good attitude toward me, there is actually no one I can trust except myself.
Summarizing the above four points, Karl felt that he was probably going to get cold.
"No no no."
Karl forced himself to cheer up and finally traveled through time. He didn't want to give such an unclear explanation here.
"There should be something else worth noting."
Karl murmured to himself, feeling that he should analyze his situation from other aspects.
Soon he thought about why he fell into this trap.
The previous owner of his body came here because he lost his job, and after receiving the invitation, he looked for a job with a chance attitude.
This invitation was sent to the original Karl before he traveled through time last night, so the person behind the scenes definitely didn't know his true situation. At least he and the Karl Wendi of the day before were fundamentally not the same person.
So the question is, why did you become this target?
The memory of being Karl has now been recalled clearly. In his past life, this body could be said to be the most ordinary civilian. He could not be found if he fell into a crowd of people, and he had no contact with supernatural phenomena at all.
From this, we can hypothesize that this body of ours has hidden power, or it is inherited from our ancestors, or it is the product of some accident. In short, 'it' needs our body to come here. Or it may be that one of our conditions meets a certain ritual.
Requirements, so you need to come here yourself.
This is the most likely scenario.
In this case, you must meet certain conditions to be selected.
Since I didn't take control immediately after entering the theater, it was more likely that this was some kind of ritual, and I was still safe in the theater before the time came.
And the time when he will encounter something is probably the night when Marianne invites him.
After thinking about it, Karl sat up from his chair and nodded vigorously.
"Standing still will not change the status quo. You should take action immediately. Even the smallest work will have its value."
As if to give himself confidence, Green clapped his hands, and his worried eyes became firm.
Without any hesitation, he opened the door that he had just locked.
"Two hours, I'll be back here in two hours."
You can see the position of the sun through the window, and you can infer that the current time is probably after 5 o'clock but not yet 6 o'clock, and the sunset time in the UK in June is around 9:30.
What I have to do is to complete the exploration work within two hours and make things as beneficial to myself as possible. Finally, return here and use the remaining time to prepare for the upcoming night.
Whether you can successfully save yourself depends on whether you can make any discoveries during this trip.
Then Karl quickly decided on his first goal.
First of all, the place to go is the place where Marianne invited him to meet at night. The No. 4 lounge that he has been to before. I hope that I can discover something there.
Before going to the lounge to investigate, Karl made a special trip back to the theater and carefully looked at the current situation in the theater.
After just a glance, Karl walked straight to the lounge No. 4 without looking back.
Because he saw that in the large theater, everyone before had disappeared without a trace, and only Marianne continued her performance on the stage.
Even if there were no other actors, she would still perform non-stop, not caring whether there was anyone to comment on her lines or anything like that.
In fact, he had not left for long, and he had not noticed any movement of people leaving before. Hundreds of people disappeared mysteriously. This was by no means a kind place.
You have to move quickly.
Karl told himself this and quickly ran to the lounge No. 4.
At first glance, this place looked the same as when I left in the afternoon. It seemed to be an ordinary lounge.
Hope you have good luck.
With this in mind, Karl began the inspection work.
