    Chapter 6 Escape

    Xia Xiqing originally thought that the so-called escape room reality show would be to set up a semi-open recording studio, throw the guests in, and be followed by a lot of VJs, and everyone would act out the escape room step by step according to the script.

    Unexpectedly, things were not at all what he thought. They were not even told what kind of secret room it was, so they were blindfolded with a piece of black cloth and taken to a certain place. Before leaving, the director specifically asked, “Please don’t speak before the camera starts.”

    I felt like I was being carried away by two people for a long time, and then I was arranged to sit on a chair. I thought that was the end, but I didn’t expect that the other party tied him up tightly with a rope. I couldn’t move. I could vaguely hear the sound of metal collision, and my wrist felt cold.

    He’s hands were cuffed and bent on his chest.

    If it weren’t for the fact that he was recording a program, Xia Xiqing would have suspected that he had been kidnapped.

    He now understands what the director has been saying, “This show is pursuing a sense of reality. The staff will never interfere, so we don’t know what will happen to everyone here.”

    Zhou Ziheng vaguely heard the footsteps of several people. His hands were tied with ropes and hung above his knees. The ankles of his feet were also tied tightly, making him unable to move.Just when he was confused, the black cloth on his eyes was removed by the staff.

    The sudden clarity of vision brought a strong sense of discomfort to he, and Zhou Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly.In front of you is a closed room, which is different from many escape rooms with a scary atmosphere. The view here is quite bright, with dim lights projected from the roof. However, except for the two rows of bookshelves against the wall, many of the furniture are covered with white cloth, which looks a bit strange.

    But none of this was enough to surprise him.

    Because the scene in front of me at this moment is more unexpected than the secret room.

    Xia Xiqing, who was making jokes with himself in the studio two hours ago, was now tied to another chair, with the distance between them less than half a meter.

    I don’t know if it was to cater to the effect of the previous Internet popularity. Under the arrangement of the program team, Xia Xiqing still wore a white shirt and black suit pants this time. His eyes were covered with black cloth. A strand of hair on his forehead escaped from the half-tied hair and hung down on the side of his face. The fine hair swept over his thin and delicate jawline.

    The brightness of his eyes was wiped away by the black cloth, and the small mole on the tip of his nose became more prominent, making him look helpless and well-behaved.

    Although Zhou Ziheng is very clear, these two words do not belong to he.

    The handcuffs on his wrists glowed with a cold metallic luster under the dim light, and his wrist bones were slightly raised, as if they could make a crisp sound when colliding with the metal.The rope was like a winding snake, wrapping around He’s body so tightly that you could see the traces of muscles under the fabric.

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

    He looks a little pitiful, Zhou Ziheng thought from the bottom of his heart, or in other words, it gave people a weird desire to make him more pitiful.

    I don’t know why, but at this moment I can suddenly understand the psychology of some people with special quirks.

    “The game officially begins.” A slightly metallic voice came out of the top of his head through a voice changer, interrupting the delusions that were growing like weeds in Zhou Ziheng’s mind.

    “Welcome to “Escape”. Now, please forget your original identity. In this game, you are players trapped in a secret room. Please note that there is not just one secret room here, but many connected rooms. This means that when you open the door of your own secret room,, you will enter a new secret room, and there may be people trapped here like you.The person who escapes all the secret rooms and leaves this house in the shortest time will be the winner of this game and get the highest points.The points earned by the other players will be calculated based on the escape time, and one point will be reduced for every ten minutes.”

    It’s so good.Xia Xiqing smiled, but the beep did not end.

    “One thing needs special explanation. The biggest difference of “Escape” is that this is not a simple escape room reality show. There is a killer among many players. Unlike ordinary players, he needs to hide his identity and has the right to “kill” players. The points of the players who are killed will be reset to zero in this round. The killer can only kill one player in one episode of the show.Of course, ordinary players can also use reasoning and judgment to find the “killer” in their minds. When all players gather together, they can “kill” them by voting.Once the “killer” becomes the final winner, every ordinary player in the game is equivalent to death. The points for this round are reset to zero, and the killer gets double points.”

    “During the game, you need to fully use your ingenuity to think and reason. If you encounter a puzzle that you are unable to solve, you can advance time to exchange clues. This 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 receive a mysterious grand prize.”

    “Each of you does not have any equipment to assist in decryption, only a modified mobile phone. This mobile phone has four functions: First, receive information from the program team. Second, advance time to purchase clues. Third, start the timer after the first player clears the level. Fourth, submit the list of killer suspects and complete the anonymous voting execution. Note: Players cannot use mobile phones to communicate with each other. You can only communicate on the spot, if you are willing. The rules are introduced.”

    The voice paused, followed by three ticking sounds like a clock counting down.

    three.

    two.

    one.

    “Now, the game begins.”

    After hearing these words, Xia Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down on the chair, and tilted his head back.Zhou Ziheng watched his every move and understood that he must not know his existence now. Such “peeping” seemed fair and aboveboard.

    Although in Zhou Ziheng’s moral view, such an approach is not worth encouraging, Xia Xiqing is an exception. He is insidious and cunning, with no shame or lower limit. He has never met anyone like him, so when facing him, Zhou Ziheng’s usual behavior pattern will always fail uncontrollably.

    Xia Xiqing tried to reach the black cloth over his eyes with his hands, but his arms were completely entangled and he couldn’t lift them up. He tried several times and failed. He couldn’t help but sigh and whispered to himself, “You can’t even see. Are you waiting to die in the first issue?”

    Zhou Ziheng wanted to laugh a little, but for some reason, observing Xia Xiqing now seemed to have diluted the urgency of escaping from the secret room.

    Completely invisible and unable to move his hands and feet, Xia Xiqing could only tap his heels gently on the ground, tilt his head back, and lean back lazily on the chair without speaking. The room was eerily quiet.Zhou Ziheng deliberately didn’t make a sound. He was obviously trapped, so helping each other was the best idea. Besides, they were still recording the show. They couldn’t go on like this forever, but now he just wanted to watch Xia Xiqing’s jokes.

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

    An illusion of acting on behalf of heaven.

    What he never expected was that the man who had been so lazy that he almost gave up his struggle suddenly sat up straight, facing Zhou Ziheng, as if the eyes covered by black cloth could penetrate the barrier and stare at him intently.

    That’s right, just “watching” him.

    Zhou Ziheng frowned, making sure that he didn’t make any noise.

    Suddenly, Xia Xiqing’s head tilted, and the corners of his mouth raised a very gentle arc.

    “Help me take off the blindfold.”

    Impossible.he is clearly invisible.
