Jiang Wan turned around instantly: "What switch?"
In the light of the flashlight, a mud-yellow bulge stood on the wall.
“Look at these gullies.”
Qi An pointed at the seemingly unrelated lines on the wall and said softly:
“At first I thought it was just unevenness in the building, but when I looked closer, it looked a bit like a drawing, just a little scribbled.
Jiang Wan stood a little further away. The light shone on the wall, and a series of chaotic lines intertwined, making people feel a little confused.
Hearing Qi'an's words, the others also came over.
Chu Mengqi's flashlight was a little small, and the moment it shone from the side, Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.
"Mengqi, don't move!"
Jiang Wan's words scared Chu Mengqi. Before her brain could react, her body stopped and her feet stood still without moving an inch.
The main character is motionless but obedient.
Jiang Wan opened her eyes wide, the two beams of light intertwined, and the lines on the wall seemed to come alive.
"Is this... a sacrifice?"
The originally messy lines on the wall now formed a painting under the background of two lights.
There were dancing priests wearing feathers on their heads, primitive people kneeling on the ground, and a huge altar burning with flames.
There were bones everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether they were human or animals.
“I have these paintings here too.”
After seeing the paintings on Qi'an's wall, Shen Yunfei looked at his own wall, which was also uneven. At first, he thought it was just the poor craftsmanship at that time and the wall surface was not smooth. Now looking at it again, it is clearly a painting.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, and adjusted the angle with Chu Mengqi, and another painting came into view.
It seemed to be a natural disaster. Fires were burning everywhere and meteorites seemed to be falling from the sky. People in the tribe knelt down and prayed to God.
"There should be some on the other two walls too. Let's go check it out."
Jiang Wan's voice was a little heavy, and she turned to look at the other wall.
The wall is painted with the scene of building a mausoleum, and the high priest wearing feathers on his head is praying to God.
The last wall was a bit bloody, with hundreds of people buried alive. The high priest also closed his eyes, lying in the coffin, holding something like an astrolabe in his hand.
Jiang Wan felt a little heavy-hearted, as if she had witnessed a cruel reality in history.
"These four images, taken together, should indicate that the high priest predicted a disaster and therefore built an altar and a mausoleum. The tribe then buried people alive with the dead to try to prevent the disaster from coming."
Shi Haoyu made a reasonable guess.
Shen Yunfei: "Young people have rich imaginations. God wants to send a disaster to destroy me, so I will die first and resolutely not give the disaster the chance to destroy me."
Shi Haoyu: ...
[Hahahaha, the King of Hell wants me to die at three o'clock, I'll go down at two o'clock. I'm the master of my own life!]
[This is so funny! I need to go down early to make a good impression on my boss.]
【Haoyu is such a cute kid, hahahaha.】
[Honestly, I felt quite heavy when I saw these pictures, but I didn't expect these two to make me laugh.]
Jiang Wan looked up and shone the flashlight upwards, and vaguely saw the same pattern.
Chu Mengqi understood and immediately ran to the side to find the angle.
After a while, another picture appeared before my eyes.
Behind the high priest wearing feathers on his head was the dazzling sun. He looked as peaceful as if he was sleeping in a coffin, surrounded by white bones.
"It's becoming a god."
Jiang Wan's voice was firm. After seeing this picture, she completely understood what was going on.
"Becoming a god?"
Chu Mengqi was a little confused.
Jiang Wan fumbled on the wall again and explained:
"Primitive tribes always have various legends, and many documents record the concept of becoming a god. They communicate with the heavens through sacrifices and other methods, and then use living people to sacrifice to open the way to heaven, thus achieving eternal life."
"True immortality or false immortality? There can't be a living high priest in this tomb!"
Chu Mengqi widened her eyes slightly, she was a little afraid of ghosts.
Qi An followed Jiang Wan and said:
"Many emperors in ancient China also sought the secret of immortality. Didn't Xu Fu sail eastward to seek the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang?"
Shen Yunfei touched Chu Mengqi's hair: "Don't be afraid, it's just an old monster."
Chu Mengqi lowered her head and muttered a few words: "If it's this old, I don't know if it can be used as medicine."
Shen Yunfei: ...
Shi Haoyu said angrily: "Sacrificing a living person to heaven is so disgusting. They really don't treat people as human beings."
Jiang Wan shrugged. "What human rights are there in primitive society? Let's find a way out first, or we'll be buried with them."
"Hey? I have a switch here too."
Shi Haoyu opened his eyes wide, and he actually felt a bulge that was exactly the same as the one Qi'an had.
Jiang Wan checked and found that there were buttons on all four walls. "If nothing goes wrong, we should each need to press one."
Chu Mengqi blinked: "Why?"
Jiang Wan: "Because escape rooms are all set up like this."
Netizen:......
【It's already this late and you're still joking around! 】
[Um... As an escape room owner, I can only say that this is indeed the case.]
[Good fellow, this guy is really bold and daring, the main point is that he can guess without using his brain.]
[That's not true. The switches we design are all logical.]
What logic?
[Oh, if the teammates are separated, it will be easier for us NPCs to scare people.]
【......】
While netizens were discussing this, the five members of the Chinese team had already stood in line. Chu Mengqi followed Jiang Wan, her small hands tightly holding the corner of Jiang Wan's clothes.
"Ready! Press!"
Following Jiang Wan's order, the four of them pressed the switch at the same time.
"Why aren't you reacting?"
Suddenly, a crow seemed to fly over my head.
Half a minute later, there was still no change.
The Chinese team and netizens were collectively silent.
"This thing is useless. Let's find something else."
Shi Haoyu was very disappointed. He thought he would see some thrilling mechanism, but it turned out to be a surprise for nothing.
However, just as he took a step, his feet suddenly felt empty and he disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Wan looked at her hand, which hadn't been raised yet, and then at Shi Haoyu who had fallen down: "Ah, so this thing opens by letting go."
This little gadget is designed to be quite anti-human.
"Haoyu, are you still alive?"
Jiang Wan had just asked a question when she heard someone humming:
"Ouch... I'm almost falling. Does this door have to be opened from the bottom?"
"What's going on down there?"
Shi Haoyu hummed twice and replied:
"It's not too high, I wouldn't break my legs if I fell, but there are a lot of rocks, and they hurt my butt. I didn't have a flashlight, and it was too dark to see anything else."
After getting the answer, Jiang Wan looked at Qi'an and Chen Yunfei, nodded, released the switch, hugged Chu Mengqi with his backhand, and fell straight down.
With a few thuds, the four of them landed safely. Jiang Wan turned on the flashlight, and the moment it turned on, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone...
