"Is there anything we can do to help?" The policeman looked at Chen Ge, who was frowning in thought, and came over enthusiastically.
The tourists all hoped that Chen Ge could lead them out. As for the task assigned to them by the park leaders, it had long been forgotten. As the saying goes, a general is not subject to the orders of his ruler when he is away from home.
"The Zodiac may be a code. This scene does not rely on luck at all, but on the ability to deduct and solve puzzles. As long as you can crack the secret of the Zodiac, you can determine which room is safe and which room is hiding a murderer." After Chen Ge finished speaking, he changed the subject: "Unfortunately, the computer in the haunted house center has a huge database. The puzzles it creates are difficult for me to solve."
"Does it still depend on luck?"
"There is very little information I can determine now." Chen Ge showed everyone the detective novel he had found. The pages were covered with red dye to indicate the time of death and the name of the deceased.
"Assuming that the information on the pages is true, it means that murders will occur at these times, and the location is in the hotel. The murders that have already happened are actually nothing to be afraid of, but the clock on the wall of the hotel is running backwards, and all the murders may happen again in this hotel." Chen Ge raised a finger: "This is a new cycle. The reversed time is the knife hanging over our heads. The murders that have already happened are more like a warning, foreshadowing our death."
Chen Ge spread his palms and placed the pages on the bar: "There are exactly seven pages, corresponding to the seven of us. Each person has a death time. When the time comes, the executioner will appear and that person will die."
After hearing Chen Ge's analysis, several tourists panicked.
"It was three in the morning when we came in, and now it is two fifty-two in the morning. The last murder on the page happened at two fifty in the morning, and the cause of death was being cut up by a jigsaw." Chen Ge put away the page: "Now we have two choices. First, we kill one of our teammates ourselves, so that there are only six people left, and the executioner who is supposed to execute the seventh person will not appear."
"How dare you say that you would kill your teammate with your own hands?" The man with glasses firmly disagreed.
"There is another choice. You all listen to me." Chen Ge didn't give the other tourists time to think. He put away the seven pages of the book and said, "There is one minute left until 2:50 in the morning. This is our last time. There is no place to hide in the hotel except the guest rooms, so we can only escape into the rooms. Now all of you stand in the left corridor. I will open the first door in the right corridor."
"After opening the door, there are only two situations. If there is a murderer inside, I will run over and join you. Everyone should keep a distance from the murderer and he can't do anything to us. If there is no murderer inside, then you should run over immediately and join me. We will hide in that room first and wait until we avoid the first execution."
"Okay, I agree." The man with glasses and the youngest boy spoke decisively. Chen Ge took all the risks and was the one closest to the danger. They had no reason to object.
Time was limited, so both parties set off immediately. Six tourists stood in the left corridor and looked at Chen Ge. Chen Ge opened the door to the right corridor alone.
"No one?"
Chen Ge waved to everyone, and all the tourists came over. After they all entered the guest rooms, the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard in the quiet corridor.
"The killer is out!"
All six tourists held their breath, and only Chen Ge walked to the door alone. He had a keen ear, and based on the sound of the door opening, he roughly determined the room where the murderer was hiding.
As if intentionally trying to scare the tourists, a heavy sound of footsteps and a chainsaw slowly approached from the end of the corridor. The other party seemed to be unaware of where the tourists were hiding and was wandering around the hotel aimlessly. Then the sound disappeared in another room.
"He didn't go back to his room?"
The door closed and the tourists all breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Ge felt a little strange. "Is this scene really a test of luck? The killer only opens one door each time. Let's see if the tourists find the unlocked secret passage first, or the killer finds the room where the tourists are hiding first? No, the Hell Level difficulty can't be that easy."
Chen Ge began to look around the room. There were all kinds of things piled up in the room. Hanging in the corner was a dead body of a puppet with no arms. The floor beneath the corpse's feet could be moved, but it was locked with a big lock.
There were playing cards thrown on the table next to the secret passage. There were English letters written on each card, and it seemed to be a puzzle.
There was a document in the drawer of the wooden table. The word "will" was written on the cover of the file bag, but after opening it, you will find that the will inside actually only has one sentence - if I die, it must not be suicide.
The room is not large, but it is arranged as a secret room puzzle.
"Should we stay here and look for the truth?" The police looked at the things in the house and felt that everything they saw was related to breaking the impasse.
"Finding the truth is what the police have to do. I'm just a volunteer." Chen Ge checked the time. This scene required solving a puzzle, which would definitely take a lot of time, and he was not going to delay it any longer.
This visit really made him learn a lot and also made him understand the strength of Virtual Future Park. They can do so well in a field they are not good at, which is really amazing.
Only by facing the opponent squarely can one have a chance to surpass the opponent. This is also one of Chen Ge's strengths. He never looks down on anyone.
"The time to relax is over, let's get to work."
Several tourists did not notice the changes in Chen Ge and they continued to follow him.
"This room is marked as safe. We can now push open the other door and do as I just said." Chen Ge asked all the tourists to run to the corridor on the left and stood on the right. After everyone was in place, he reached into his backpack and flipped through the comic book.
"Finally, I don't have to hide anymore." The reason why Chen Ge asked all the tourists to go to the left and he stayed on the right was because the corridor on the right was closer to the door of the hotel. The tourists standing in the corridor on the left could not see the situation here, and he could make gestures with the smelly red-clothed man at the door in the blind spot of the tourists.
"The way to escape has been blocked. It's time to make him despair."
The door of the hotel was already open, and Chen Ge smiled and nodded towards the stench.
A pungent fishy smell floated in the air, and everyone heard the sound of "water drops" dripping. The blood shattered on the floor, dragging a shocking trail.
The smelly man in red released his breath wantonly, and soon everyone realized something was wrong. They all stared at the hotel bar.
A few seconds later, a fat monster in bloody red clothes walked out from the bar!
"What, what is that?" Xiaoling screamed, and all the "tourists" were nervous.
"Chen Ge! Behind you! Look behind you!"
Chen Ge, who had just walked out of the tourists' blind spot, looked up and saw the monster. His face turned pale instantly and he ran away, gritting his teeth.
“Go!”
He was very fast, but he couldn't outrun the monster behind him and had nowhere to escape. In the end, he had to push open a door and hide inside in front of other tourists.
At this moment, something even more terrifying happened. The horrible monster followed him into the room.
Then two screams were heard in the room! One was from Chen Ge, and the other was from a stranger.
Before the tourists could figure out the reason, the horrible monster ran out and rushed towards them!
"What on earth is this!"
The tourists fled in all directions and no one noticed that the door of the room that Chen Ge had just escaped into was slowly closed.
"It went better than I thought." Chen Ge looked at the unconscious "Murderer" actor and smiled like a child.
He remembered the room where the killer was hiding and led the smelly red-clothed men straight in.
The "murderer" actor who originally wanted to scare people heard the door open and ran over excitedly, but before he could get into a scary pose, he saw the smelly red-clothed man behind Chen Ge.
It was he who made the "heart-wrenching" scream. In order to deceive other tourists, Chen Ge also cooperated and made a scream.
The two men fell to the ground, but the "killer" actor was really unconscious, while Chen Ge used the "fainting" to look around the room. After making sure there was no surveillance, he stood up and closed the door.
"In the virtual future park, surveillance is free, everywhere, and I have no freedom to do anything I want. But now it's different."
Chen Ge took off his coat, took out a comic book from his backpack, then stripped off the perverted murderer's coat and hood and put them on himself.
"Let me tell you how to act like a murderer."
After putting away the comic book and the tape recorder, Chen Ge put his coat on the actor, then threw the empty backpack next to the actor's head, and then took off his watch and put it on the haunted house actor.
After everything was ready, Chen Ge picked up the electric saw next to him and kicked the door open.
