Live Interview
On the underground floor, the elevator door opens.
All the voices in Lu Miao's brain were temporarily blocked by the mint candy, and his sanity value temporarily cooled down, neither rising nor falling.
Outside the elevator door, the fluorescent light was pale, and in front of me was a long floor-to-ceiling frosted glass. Behind the glass were shadows and flickering lights.
Arriving at the basement level, the puppet regained control of its body. It knocked on the elevator door and pointed at the rule paper posted next to the door.
Automatic workshop instructions
1. This automatic workshop has an entrance and a safety exit. You must enter from the entrance and leave from the exit.
2. The automatic workshop is in production, please do not enter without permission.
3. Do not peek into the automatic workshop without permission, otherwise it will also stare at you.
4. It is prohibited to place debris in front of the emergency exit.
"Only 4 rules?" He Ping'an fell into deep thought.
Lu Miao, holding a mint candy in his mouth, looked around and found that there were many elevators on the underground floor. There were countless elevators.
She wrote quickly: The power supply and switch are not inside the workshop, let's search outside the workshop.
The puppet "looked" at her.
He Pingan nodded in agreement.
The rules remind people not to enter the workshop, which means that the switches and power supplies are outside.
Then, Lu Miao pointed to the "safety exit" on the rule paper, meaning to search there first.
The four people were divided into two groups, walking one in front and one behind.
Si Lan and Lu Miao walked in front together, along the seemingly endless frosted glass, looking for a safe exit.
He Ping'an and the puppet walked behind, looking around and searching for anything that looked like a switch along the way.
Each elevator is embedded in a square pillar, with scarlet numbers and rule papers posted next to the door, making the outside of the elevator appear dark, like a dark cage.
Next to them was a hazy frosted glass with faint sounds of "hissing" and mechanical operation.
Once they listen carefully, they can't help but look at the frosted glass.
Once you look at frosted glass, the clarity of the glass gradually increases.
"Don't look at the glass!" The mint candy stimulated Lu Miao to come back to his senses.
Although He Ping'an only heard the sound of the characters being reported, he reacted quickly and looked away along with the puppet.
Lu Miao glanced at the string of characters beside him, unable to tell what condition he was in. "Si Lan, are you okay?"
After a while, a notebook was handed to him with a smiley face drawn on it.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The four people who kept their eyes fixed on the road finally came to the end of the frosted glass and saw a green "Emergency Exit" sign light hanging on the lintel of the closed frosted glass door.
On the snow-white pillar opposite the sign light is an iron box with the main power switch, which requires three keys to open.
"Found it." He Ping'an walked closer to the main switch and looked at it carefully. "Each keyhole is painted yellow, red and blue respectively. We need to use keys to open them."
After saying that, he and the puppet took out their respective keys, a red key and a yellow key respectively.
Si Lan glanced sideways and wrote to the indifferent Lu Miao: What are you thinking about?
Lu Miao: I was wondering, the main switch was so obvious, why no one could escape. I also thought of one thing, someone saw the new teacher coming out of the office, so what was this automatic workshop producing?
Si Lan: New teachers can only go upstairs via the elevator.
so……
He Pingan noticed that the captain did not move, and hurriedly stopped the puppet from inserting the key. "Wait a minute, let's wait for the captain... the woman with the fluorescent green earrings."
The puppet "looked" at Lu Miao again.
Lu Miao continued to communicate with Si Lan through text, and the mint candy in his mouth had melted halfway.
She wrote: I discussed the issue of consumption with you before, so what are the materials for producing new teachers? Where do they come from? It is known that when a character is killed, he will turn into a table, chair or book.
Si Lan's eyes were filled with smiles: Maybe the new teacher was also transformed from something?
Lu Miao stared at the words he wrote, then suddenly looked around the clean surroundings.
It was so clean, there was not a single book, set of tables and chairs, not even a stain of blood.
There's a trap!
She looked up at the "Exit" sign.
That is an internationally recognized symbol - a person is running inside a door, but it is not known whether he is running inside the door or outside.
The fog in her mind suddenly cleared up, and she quickly wrote: Turn around! This sign light does not have the words "Emergency Exit" written on it, so it is not necessarily a safety exit.
Seeing this, He Pingan also looked up and wondered about the sign light above his head. "Huh? Is the little man on the sign's hind legs outside the door?"
The logo figurine's hind legs appear to be integrated with the door frame.
He suddenly realized. "The captain is right, this is not the emergency exit! We have to turn back!"
The four of them ran against the clock and returned the same way. Lu Miao's stamina was consumed faster than the two of them.
The puppet couldn't run, so He Ping'an picked it up by the waist again and ran breathlessly.
The puppet looked down at him.
A few minutes later, they encountered an identical frosted glass door with a slightly different "Emergency Exit" pattern sign light hanging on the lintel.
Even the puppet could see that the hind legs of the little man with the sign light were not connected to the door frame, and it looked like it was running out of the door from inside.
The snow-white pillar opposite the sign light is inlaid with an identical main switch iron box, which also has three keyholes of different colors.
He Ping'an secretly complained that the Domain Lord was insidious and designed a death trap to mislead humans.
Just as Lu Miao took out the blue key, she suddenly felt a biting chill and she subconsciously moved to the side.
A pitch-black wire slipped out of the glass door at some point and slid across the front of her shoe.
Suddenly, the last "0" in one of the "#FF0000" strings stepped on the wire.
Lu Miao felt it was Si Lan.
At this point, the mints are almost melted.
Then, a second wire shot out the door.
Si Lan stepped on it with his right foot.
At the same time, she ran to the main switch with the blue key and inserted it into the corresponding keyhole together with He Ping'an and the puppet.
The iron box opened, revealing a main switch.
The handle of the switch was facing downwards, and Lu Miao pushed the handle upwards.
Snap——
Darkness falls.
The glaring light made Lu Miao squint his eyes, and suddenly cheers rang in his ears.
“It’s coming out!”
“It’s all out, great!”
"I was really scared. You guys suddenly disappeared..."
Lu Miao opened his eyes and looked around blankly, and saw a series of happy and familiar faces.
She's back at the base.
One, two... ten people who entered the realm of ghost stories came back safely, and she leaned against the back of the chair.
Many foam boxes suddenly appeared in the open space in the middle of the stronghold.
"Captain Lu, you have received another extra reward! I really suspect that you are the big boss behind the scenes, and these weird story areas are run by your family." Lao Li, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, joked.
"Huh? Back?" Wang Keke checked her hands first, then asked Weekend who was sitting next to her. "Have I turned back? Am I still a puppet?"
Weekend said unhappily: "Huh, you're better when you don't talk."
"You—" She immediately remembered that she had kicked him in the chest several times, and her momentum weakened. "Lululu... I can piss you off to death when I change back!"
Yu Xiaowan lowered her head and wanted to go back to the dormitory to cover herself with a blanket. Because before she came back, she was still held on the ground by Chen Zhanqin.
I hope he won't mention this again.
"Xiao Wan, did I hurt you?" Chen Zhanqin looked over.
As soon as these words were spoken, the cheers stopped abruptly.
Yu Xiaowan's face turned red.
Wang Keke grabbed Chen Zhanqin by the collar. "What did you do to Xiao Wan?"
Chen Zhanqin was full of questions.
The ringing of the phone made Lu Miao temporarily leave the noisy crowd. She went to the corridor to answer the call with a gentle look.
"Hello?"
"You escaped, too."
"Well, is that what you called about?"
Si Lan on the other end of the phone chuckled. "I'll be relieved only after I confirm that you've escaped."
The deep night sky gazed at the deer saplings looking up. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. String."
"You're welcome, Miss Rice Cooker."
…
Wang Keke inside also received a call. The caller's note made her very excited and she ran to the corridor excitedly to answer the call.
"Sister! You're out!"
"I'm escaping, not getting out of prison, Coco."
Wang Keke smiled foolishly and scratched his face. "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. We were very worried about you."
"We were worried about you before because you became a civil servant out of spite."
Wang Keke suppressed her smile and prepared herself to be scolded.
Unexpectedly, the other party said something that confused her: "I finally understand that you are not a person who gets excited for three minutes. With such an amazing captain, who wouldn't work wholeheartedly?"
"sister?"
Wang Keke often talked with her sister about the department’s experiences and team affairs. Every time, her sister’s attitude was to downplay the matter and she never positively acknowledged her current life.
"Nothing. I called to remind you to go home and eat more often, so that I won't be able to recognize you when you become as skinny as a bamboo pole."
"Got it." She smiled sweetly.
In the corridor, Lu Miao and Wang Keke, who were hanging on the line, looked at each other.
Wang Keke jumped over to hold her arm. "Captain, my sister escaped too!"
"That's great." Lu Miao smiled.
"Wow, Captain, you look so good when you smile! Smile more."
"Noisy."
At the door, Shao Rongrong, with shining eyes, blocked the two people. "Can we do an exclusive interview now? This time you escaped in just two hours, it must shock the whole country!"
Of course, there are procedures to follow before doing an exclusive interview.
Inspector Lin notified the psychiatric evaluation department next door to come over and conduct a psychiatric evaluation on the ten people who entered the field of ghost stories. Only after the evaluation was passed could the ten people be interviewed.
Patiently, Shao Rongrong first discussed the interview script with Inspector Lin. "Inspector Lin, can the individual interview later be broadcast live?"
"If they are not too tired, it should be fine. But they are all staff members, can they not show up?"
"No problem!" Shao Rongrong was overjoyed.
The interview location was at the base. Zhang Yonggan looked for the best angle and fixed the camera.
While waiting in line for the mental evaluation, Zhang Lian asked Lu Miao: "Captain Lu, did you see the message from me and Squad Leader Feng when you arrived at the basement level?"
She was stunned. "What did you write?"
Zhang Lian sighed. "Remind those who come after you not to look at the glass, and that there are two emergency exits."
Lu Miao: "There are too many elevators on the underground floor, unless you leave a message on every rule sheet."
Zhang sighed repeatedly.
The pill only lasts for five minutes, and they are short of a yellow key, so they have to go back upstairs to find it.
"well--"
Two hours later, the base was transformed into a live interview room, and the police officers and soldiers on the scene became temporary directors.
"...The recent appearance of the 'Red School' online urban legend has been confirmed as a special type of ghost story and has been cracked by professionals. Our reporter is now at the scene of the special operations team's operation. Next, we will hand it over to Anchor Shao on the scene..."
The late-night exclusive interview program is like a stabilizing force, becoming the spiritual support for mankind.
The TV was playing the interview footage. Si Lan looked at the back of Lu Miao's head that was exposed in the screen and smiled.
Then, a faint mist of sadness spread between his brows.
As soon as possible.
They are becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
