"But, maybe they blocked the signal to make it more difficult?" The endless mirror corridor in front of them, and the lack of cell phone signal, made the female companion, who was not too worried at first, suddenly feel more uncertain and anxious.
After thinking for a long time, she finally couldn't help but find an acceptable reason for herself and her friends.
Seemingly to make her reason more convincing, she continued to act like a seasoned escape room player, laughing knowingly, "Hey, don't be so nervous!"
Don't worry, every room here has a security camera. If we encounter any difficulties, we can wave to ask the staff for help!
If you're really worried, how about we call some staff?
As she spoke, her female companion raised her hand, waved it, spun around in place, and then shouted loudly, "Hey, is anyone there? We're in trouble here, can you help us out and resolve this?"
However, the only response to the little girl was silent silence.
Song Mengmeng and Yao Anna stood not far from them, watching the four young people go from being calm at first to panicking, and finally noticing their presence.
"Hello, have you ever encountered this situation when playing this kind of game?!" The one who came over to greet Song Mengmeng and the others was clearly the one who could make decisions among the four young people. He was a very young man, and although there was panic in his eyes, he managed to keep his composure and not break down in this situation.
"No, this is our first time playing too." Song Mengmeng tilted her head, her mask covering her expression, but her smiling eyes had a reassuring magic that calmed the previously flustered young people down.
"Don't be afraid, maybe this is the effect that the escape room experience is trying to give us!" Song Mengmeng smiled as she looked at the two girls who were hugging each other and were almost crying, and gently comforted them: "Isn't everyone thinking that the more exciting the game is, the more popular it will be?"
The more scared we are inside, the happier the staff outside will be watching us struggle!
"You're right!" The young man was taken aback, then smiled a little embarrassedly. "My name is Wang Qin, Zhu Rui is my girlfriend, and this is my brother Song Tao and his girlfriend Ye Wenwen. We just thought we had nothing to do today, and it's Rui Rui's birthday, so we came out to have some fun together!"
"Song Mengmeng, this is my sister Anna." Song Mengmeng didn't hide anything and readily introduced herself to the young man: "Now we're a team, we'll stick together and find a way out of this maze!"
"Hmm." Song Mengmeng's explanation clearly had an effect. At least the two girls who were terrified before seemed to be in a much better state now. Zhu Rui even smiled shyly at Song Mengmeng and hid behind her boyfriend.
"Should we keep going, or what? I have this feeling that this mirrored corridor has no end!" Song Tao looked around, tapped on the glass next to him with a headache, and couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, this environment is really too realistic. The mirrors all look almost the same. If you're not familiar with the area, it's really not easy to spot something wrong!"
"It must be using the principle of mirror refraction to create a visual illusion, making us feel like we're walking in a straight line. Maybe we're just wandering around in a curved corridor."
Wang Qin looked around and naturally noticed that something was amiss with what Song Tao had said. However, he didn't delve deeper into it. Instead, he focused on using science to solve the current predicament.
Song Mengmeng remained silent and walked at the back with Yao Anna. She quietly summoned a wisp of spiritual fire from between her fingers and, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, slapped it directly onto the mirror next to her.
As Song Mengmeng moved, the entire mirror corridor seemed to be hit by an earthquake, and the whole space trembled unbearably. The tremor was even greater under their feet. Before anyone present could react, the mirror beneath their feet shattered instantly, and before they could even scream, they fell directly into the dark abyss below.
After that feeling of weightlessness, they were instantly enveloped in a thick, impenetrable darkness.
"What happened?!" Amidst the two girls' uncontrollable screams, even the previously composed Wang Qin couldn't remain calm. He shielded his girlfriend in his arms while loudly calling out to his friends, "Are you all alright?!"
"This must be the effect of the weightlessness device!" Song Mengmeng knew perfectly well that they were in a mirror world, but in order not to spread her panic, she began to talk nonsense in a serious tone without blushing or skipping a beat: "Otherwise, if we really fell, we would have been injured by now!"
“Yes, that makes sense.” Hearing Song Mengmeng’s analysis, Wang Qin, who had almost turned into a screaming chicken, finally calmed down. He reached out and patted Zhu Rui on the back to comfort her, while taking out his phone to check the surrounding environment. However, he found nothing.
"Where's my phone?!" Wang Qin was startled. It was his brand new phone! He subconsciously let go of his girlfriend, reached into his other pocket, and then took it out with a sigh of relief, trying to turn it on, but found that no matter how many times he pressed the buttons, the phone didn't respond.
"What's going on?" Wang Qin asked Song Tao, who was not far away, and got the same result: the phone wouldn't light up.
However, Song Mengmeng pulled out a lighter from somewhere, bringing a tiny bit of light to everyone. Although this tiny bit of light was very brief, it allowed those around to quickly see the scene before them—the mirrors that should have blocked their path had completely vanished without a trace…
This... there's no way to explain this as an escape room experience...
"Wow, this design is absolutely amazing!" Song Mengmeng exclaimed in admiration. "Using the time difference created by the moment we fall into darkness, the mirrored wall that was blocking our way was removed. I had heard people say that the projects in this experience center were all very well done, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that they are right!"
