"But the ceiling is bleeding, and she says it's just jam..."
Su Lin suddenly turned around and thrust his long sword behind him.
"Whoosh!"
There was no feedback of attack, the defensive talismans on his body did not react, the light source equipment was intact, and the clone shadow was not attacked.
"Are they playing tricks again?"
Su Lin squinted slightly and asked, "Shall we go back and take a look?"
"No, we've got a clue, there's no need to take any more risks."
Xiao Linlin said cautiously, "Let's go back first and go upstairs to check out other places."
"Big brother, have you ever watched a horror movie?"
Xiao Linlin seemed worried that Su Lin wouldn't listen to her advice, so she paused and added, "Most of the protagonists in horror movies die from their own reckless behavior, knowing that something is wrong but still going in anyway."
"Don't worry, I'm not that stubborn."
Su Lin nodded and backed up to the lobby on the first floor.
The strange song gradually faded away only after Su Lin had completely exited the basement level.
"If I had gone back just now, would I have encountered a ghost?"
Su Lin looked at the entrance to the basement and asked Xiao Linlin. Xiao Linlin shook her head: "I don't know, but I think even if there is danger, it shouldn't be too difficult. After all, the combat difficulty of puzzle-solving escape games shouldn't be too high, since the threat of [other escapees] already exists naturally."
She was referring to the underlying logic of the escape game. Xiao Linlin has always been accustomed to using the game mechanics itself to judge the direction of the escape game.
In Su Lin's first match, she also accurately grasped the potential mechanism of "ambushing near the escape point" to create the greatest benefit with the lowest risk.
"So, what do you think is the most difficult part of puzzle-solving games? Is it figuring out the puzzles?"
As Su Lin asked the questions, he walked up the stairs to the second floor.
I guess so.
Xiao Linlin nodded, still thinking: "I think it's not simply about figuring out how to solve the puzzle, but about finding the right clues from the messy details; we've already been solving the puzzle since we entered the game."
"The direction of the decryption is [how to escape], and the riddle given by the game is [the eerie hospital]. Many of the strange phenomena we just encountered are actually not very meaningful in themselves. I think they are more like guiding us to fear and lose our ability to think."
"The puzzle itself is not difficult; the difficulty lies in grasping the useful information."
Xiao Linlin is much calmer now. Perhaps Su Lin gave her too much security, and she has realized that she received a lot of useless information in such a short period of time, which led her to make some rather wrong judgments.
For example, before entering the basement, she thought she would encounter a supernatural battle, but she found key number 1 very smoothly.
For example, when she was in the parking lot, she thought that after officially entering the hospital, Su Lin's new talent effect would appear, but Su Lin's talent effect still hadn't appeared in the third game.
These two incorrect judgments made Xiao Linlin realize that she had been influenced.
"Perhaps the supernatural and terrifying elements present in this match are themselves a kind of [misleading factor]."
Xiao Linlin muttered, her empty eyes staring blankly, "Dad said that we should look beyond the surface of things to see the truth, and grasp the core of the problem... Since it's about deciphering, we need to find the right clues."
"The only clues that can be confirmed right now are this Key No. 1 and the Dean's safe. After all, they have information prompts, which means they have been recognized by the game mechanics."
"Therefore, all other information and details could be misleading me."
"If that's the case, then the information in that song just now must also be wrong, right?"
Xiao Linlin chewed on the text repeatedly, softly reminding herself, "But the number 13 appears repeatedly, is it wrong too?"
"It's okay, don't be too stressed. We just need to find the safe and the rest of the keys."
While comforting her, Su Lin continued to climb the stairs and soon arrived at the entrance to the second floor.
The process went very smoothly, and no terrifying incidents occurred.
The moment Su Lin stepped onto the second floor, the darkness before him vanished in an instant, revealing the bright corridors and lobby space on the left and right sides of the second floor.
It was as if the second floor was always lit up, but Su Lin couldn't see it when he was on the first floor.
“At least your assessment of the isolated space is probably correct. Look how bright it is on the second floor, but we can only see pitch black on the first floor.”
Su Lin smiled, his eyes were cold, and his body was tense, already in battle mode.
He knew perfectly well that there were two teams of survivors on the second floor!
So, where are they now?
Su Lin's eyes quickly swept across the space on the second floor. Before Xiao Linlin in his arms could respond to his earlier teasing, a room in the corridor on his right suddenly opened silently.
A face quickly appeared through the crack in the door, staring intently at Su Lin.
