Chapter 020 Anchor Simulator

While her teammates were thinking hard, Anonymous went outside and came back with a bunch of leaves. She threw them as she walked, and ten minutes later, she came back with empty hands.

She shook her head at her friend. "That won't work. The mirrors are placed randomly. I walked around twice and I was back. I guess there must be a secret door here. A maze wouldn't be placed in such a small house."

abc pinched his chin, thinking, "You said, Ren Xi came into the room only a few minutes after us, how did she guess the answer?"

The development of all this is simple to explain. Ren Xi passed by from the east, and Anonymous followed the traces of the escaped animal and hurried over along the footprints. ABC walked slowly at the end.

Then the problem arose. The time difference between Anonymous and her was less than five minutes, but he didn't even catch a glimpse of her back, and only saw a series of lonely footprints.

Anonymous immediately understood and replied, "It means she guessed the answer at a glance."

At the same time, the problem that was not solved a few minutes ago surfaced again - what does the name Ren Xi represent?

Anonymous pondered, "She is familiar with this riddle..." As she murmured, her fingers unconsciously wrote and drew in the air. She was almost about to find the truth. The clues were scattered in her mind, and she only needed a thread to string them together. Halfway through writing, Anonymous suddenly stopped, "Because she has used it before! She has used similar riddles to tease people before. In her eyes, this question is actually very simple."

abc shrugged. "It seems you have guessed it. The radicals of the kana, the radicals of "人" and "夕", together, it's Ren Xi."

It was too late to think about how many times Ren Xi's actions were meant to tease them. Anonymous was annoyed for three seconds and gathered his thoughts. He looked at the printed paper and said, "Anyway, we are not suitable for using our brains. Let's get back to the point. If the prompts in the trap house also require the selection of radicals, and the host specifically gave them bilingual sentences... how can we pick out the first letter in the poem?"

After that, she muttered to herself to refute what she had just said, "No, this is not rigorous. The poem says to 'find yourself in love', so only the first letter of the second sentence is needed, ftil."

"Which word is flattering? Take away all the letters in it."

Anonymous: "Then only i is left."

They looked at each other, thinking, and stood up to search for the mirror with the letter i engraved on it. The room was not big, and it was not a maze. Apart from the dizziness, it was not a big deal. They had just found a few mirrors when they heard their teammates calling out, "Here."

After a while, the duo gathered.

Anonymous squatted down and pressed the letters on the border hard, but there was no response. She felt around with her fingers and found a string of Roman numerals next to it, a garbled 4312. After pondering for a few seconds, she gave up and looked up with a clear conscience to get the answer: "What's next?"

He stared at the number in deep thought, rearranged the letters in order, and read out: "Lift."

The mirror was nailed to the wall. Two people put their hands on the bottom and pushed hard. The mirror slid smoothly to the top, revealing a hole. They walked in one after the other. The platform felt the weight and started to descend with a rumble.

The surveillance camera recorded this scene.

123 had a weird expression on his face. He just took the time to watch the video while asking questions, but he didn't expect to see the live broadcast of his mortal enemy having a brain.

He cleared the chat history.

He didn't know whether the host knew that he was investigating him, but the host didn't say anything - the headset only heard the other person's silent breathing, which was strangely not filtered out by the electronic program. He assumed that his behavior was allowed.

The next second when the background showed that the cleaning progress was 100%, a strange voice came: "Are you done? Then let's talk about it."

It took 123 a long time to come back to his senses from the shock.

It wasn't because the host came to him at the right time, implicitly expressing that he knew everything. It was the voice. This vague voice hidden under the mask said calmly: "Tell me, what did you want to do with me before?"

“…”

Host, you should pay more attention to your hidden identity.

123 didn't dare to play smart. The most difficult people were the ones who didn't care about anything, only saw the goal, and ignored the temptations on the roadside and kept moving towards the goal. He had never been so honest before: "I want to ask about the time and location of the next game."

Ji Xu: "It's an unfinished building. Don't worry about the time. The plane will pick you up a day in advance."

"Going abroad is also possible?" 123 asked subconsciously.

This map is quite advanced, Ji Xu thought.

He does not think that the simulator is the real world. Culture, language, architecture, all are present in the simulator, but it does not consider rationality when blending them together. For example, a black gang stands in a city where people live and work in peace and contentment. For example, he broadcasts the escape game to the whole world, and the audience watches and discusses it normally.

Did it stir up waves? Yes, it did.

Is there a follow-up? No.

His name and coordinates were clearly written on the file, but no one cared. The audience left messages out of curiosity about the show, and the contestants investigated the host.

In short, it's very weird, so weird that it makes people suspect that this is a Hollywood popcorn movie.

Ji Xu fumbled with the base of his index finger. This time the game did not have a life-threatening countdown. He wore gloves after learning from others' experience to avoid having his fingerprints stolen.

Without a deadline to catch up to, his pace became neither hurried nor slow. Ji Xu patiently answered 123's questioning without thinking: "Sure, anything is fine. As long as you haven't gone to hell or heaven before the show starts, I can find you."

This joke is not funny at all.

123 stopped talking: "I have no more questions. I hope you can rest early." He glanced at the live broadcast screen while greeting, "I guess there will be a new winner soon."

The extra channel left after saying this. Ji Xu leaned his back against a tree and looked up at the messy swarm of drones. They originally came from the same source, which was the prop given on the table. Ji Xu threw it into the forest, and then used the second skill to change the venue. He kept copying and copying it, forming the grand scene that now covers the entire sky network.

123 is right, a new winner is about to emerge.

The elevator in the mirror house went through the stages of descending, moving horizontally, and ascending, and finally stopped at an open space. It was not just a site developed by the host, but the trees around it grew closely together, with a gap of less than two centimeters in the middle, forming a natural cage. The shades of the trees collided with each other, blocking out the sun, and the branches and vines were entangled with each other, trapping the people below.

A subtle rustling sound was heard, and countless tiny movements gathered together to form a strange wave.

A group of colorful snakes slithered out, entwined on the branches, straightened their upper bodies, spit out their tongues, and stared at the crowd with hunting movements. The two subconsciously raised their hands to defend themselves, but were surprised to find that none of the snakes had come to the ground.

They suddenly understood.

The tree is the prison, the snake is the security guard, and the contestants can only leave by taking the elevator.

Ren Xi was startled by the snake once, and was stunned again when she saw the two people. "Faster than I thought," she muttered, and she quickly reacted when she noticed the two people's unreasonable anger towards her. "My name has also been discovered? The progress is faster than expected... Did the host's riddle remind you? It's really unfair."

She turned to the camera and sighed, "Even though I know I can't hide it from you, you can't use me as a clue."

The camera moves twice, and it seems that the person behind is nodding politely.

This is what it means to have read and ignore the proposal.

Ren Xi choked. She didn't dare to be rude to the host. She turned around and took out her weapon. "There's no need to look for it anymore. Look at the snakes around. They didn't react when I came. They only appeared after you came. The conditions for passing the level are self-evident. The Colosseum."

Ren Xi was of course not that kind. She explained that she knew the host was warning her. Whether it was passing by the duo on the way back, or using her name as a hint of the trap house, or the obvious hint of the beast fight, they were all reminding Ren Xi -

Don't be clever, I'm watching you.

A strange fear filled her heart. Ren Xi finally understood why other people were so scared of the host. She forced herself to gather her scattered thoughts and said in a deep voice:

"Either you defeat the opponent and get the weapon, or you return empty-handed and only get a consolation point."

She didn't realize that she was unconsciously avoiding the camera while speaking, as if an allergy sufferer was facing an allergen. She said the last sentence: "Fortunately, the Colosseum is absolutely fair. Injuring everyone will only result in eight points and a tie."

After Ren Xi finished speaking, he immediately stepped back and drew his gun.

She had never considered the possibility of close combat, which was Ren Xi's habit. Even if she had a fully loaded pistol, she would still go find a few more hot weapons. If the host hadn't warned her and didn't want to see a good show turn into a sneak attack, she would never duel with others when she lost her sense of security.

The people present and the audience also realized that Ren Xi was not good at fighting, and showing weakness to the enemy was what she often did.

abc was the most seriously wounded. He was the only player who had completely withstood all the traps in the initial house. Then he was attacked by a sniper. He had agreed with his teammates to go to the trap house first. Ren Xi specifically caught him and beat him alone.

After rolling on the ground for a few times to avoid the sneak attack, abc hit Ren Xi's wrist with the butt of his gun. He threw his gun to Anonymous and shouted, "No need to give it to me. My shoulder can't take it anyway. Remember to aim when you find the right time!"

Anonymous took it without hesitation. She pulled out her magazine, loaded the remaining two bullets into the new pistol, and waited for the opportunity mentioned by ABC.

Ren Xi retreated upon hearing that, and abc, who had given up his weapon, chased after him. Because the distance was too close, the crosshairs of his pistol flew around during the fight and brushed past abc's body. Ren Xi heard the host slowly say to her, "Hmm? Four points added, it's finally not zero."

What a mocking statement.

Ren Xi gritted her teeth, and abc seized the moment when she was distracted, and put his arm around Ren Xi's shoulders and behind her neck. Because his right hand was powerless, he pressed tightly with his left hand, raised one foot and kicked Ren Xi's shoulder, using his remaining leg as support, and exerted force with his waist backwards, turning Ren Xi upside down and pressing her to the ground.

"Well done!" The anonymous person whistled, raised the muzzle of the gun, and at the same time made an onomatopoeic gunshot from his mouth.

"Bang——"
