Chapter 76 Escape Room 8
Players rummaged around the room.
Mu Hao found an iron door behind a pile of debris in the corner, which was locked and could not be opened.
The door mentioned on the radio is most likely this iron door.
Wu Yihe found a lot of crumpled papers in the corners. She opened them one by one and found that most of them were discarded drafts of paintings.
She did not lose her patience and continued to unfold each paper ball to confirm the contents.
God helps those who work hard. The next piece of paper she picked up was no longer a meaningless draft, but a piece of newspaper.
A newspaper reported a case of arson:
"In the early morning of a certain month, a fire broke out in a company's factory... After more than three hours of strenuous firefighting by firefighters, the fire was successfully extinguished."
"The fire burned an area of 300 square meters and caused 14 casualties."
"After the police conducted an on-site inspection and detailed interviews, they initially determined that the fire was caused by arson. After conducting a thorough investigation, the police identified the arson suspect as Pan, an employee of the company."
"Pan is now on the run and has not yet been arrested. We hope that the general public will actively provide relevant clues..."
The newspaper also printed a photo of the suspect's head.
It cannot be said that the person in this photo has nothing to do with Pan Mo, but it can be said that they are exactly the same.
It was obvious who the arsonist was.
Pan Mo's mouth curled up slightly. He felt that he was very lucky, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows smoothed out a lot.
The other players who were not selected were somewhat disappointed.
Chen Kaili glanced at Pan Mo's thin and hunched figure, his eyes flickering, thinking about the probability of success if he tried to rob the item.
If it was just Pan Mo, it would definitely work, but unfortunately there were more than just the two of them at the moment...
If there were too many people, the car would easily overturn, so Chen Kaili thought about it and decided to give up this plan.
If he can’t get the other rings later, it won’t be too late for him to steal them again.
His best days are yet to come.
In order to open the locked iron door, everyone reached an invisible consensus and did not stop Pan Mo from walking towards the stove.
Yu Ke leaned over to read the newspaper, and the first thing she saw was Pan Mo's photo.
In black and white newspapers, the photos are also in black and white.
Since ancient times, black and white tones have always been associated with death, which seems to have permeated people's traditional concepts.
Maybe this is the reason. Whenever Yu Ke looked at Pan Mo's photo, she always felt that there was a sense of death between his gloomy brows.
It looks like... a posthumous photo.
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up to see Pan Mo already checking the stove, preparing to go in and get the ring.
She felt inexplicably uneasy, but an unfounded intuition was no reason to convince others to give up.
After hesitating twice, Yu Ke finally didn't say anything.
But her panic inevitably showed on her face, and anyone paying attention to her could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Mu Hao asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yu Ke shook her head, "No."
She couldn't tell anyone.
After all, she couldn't just say directly that she saw Pan Mo's black and white photo and thought his forehead was dark and that he might have a bloody disaster, which was unlucky, so she suggested that he not go.
Not to mention Pan Mo, she herself doesn't sound reliable.
Wenren Ji glanced at Yu Ke, and a faint light of unknown meaning flashed across his eyes for a moment.
But he soon regained his calm expression and looked coldly in the direction of the stove.
After Pan Mo finished his inspection, he carefully crawled into the furnace. The structure of the furnace required him to crawl forward in a prone position.
It was not until his entire body was inside the furnace that he reached the wooden ring hanging at the end.
He quickly pulled off the wooden ring and held it in his hand, feeling relieved.
At least he no longer had to fear the monsters behind the glass wall.
The furnace door was watched by Chen Kaili, who had the biggest muscles.
He propped up the stove door with one hand, poked his head inside with reluctance, and shouted, "Are you done yet? Come out now if you got it!"
Hearing Chen Kaili's voice, Pan Mo became alert and silently clenched the wooden ring in his hand.
Pan Mo could tell that Chen Kaili had bad intentions, and his desire to snatch the wooden ring from his hand was almost clearly written on his face.
But there was no way Pan Mo would give up this life-saving prop.
"It's almost there." Pan Mo replied perfunctorily to Chen Kaili while using his body to block the view from behind and taking the opportunity to quickly hide the wooden ring on his body.
Chen Kaili pried at the door impatiently, thinking that Pan Mo was such a weakling for being so slow in taking a ring.
By the way, has the locked iron door been opened? Why didn't he see it?
Chen Kaili's suspicious eyes moved back and forth between the iron gate and the stove.
If the iron gate is not opened, he cannot miss this only ring.
With evil intentions, he moved closer to the stove again, and was about to say something when flames suddenly burst out of the stove!
Chen Kaili closed his eyes reflexively and took a few steps back to avoid the oncoming flames, and his hand left the furnace door.
The next moment the stove door slammed shut with a bang!
Not only that, a huge fire started to burn in the stove.
This sudden action stunned everyone inside and outside.
Mu Hao walked quickly to the stove, reached out and grasped the door handle and tried to open the stove door, but the stove door could not be opened no matter how hard he tried.
"Damn it! Make this old guy hurry up, he has to dawdle in there!"
Chen Kaili took over Mu Hao's position with a curse, and flexed his muscles to pull the door hard.
But the stove door wouldn't open, no matter how hard he tried, his veins bulged.
Pan Mo, surrounded by flames in the stove, turned over in horror and raised his legs to kick the glass on the stove door desperately.
But the glass was extremely strong and could not be kicked no matter how hard he kicked it.
He had no choice but to change direction and look for a way out at the other end, but he still had no way to deal with the glass on the other side.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, the temperature of the furnace soared, and the furnace body became boiling hot.
Yu Ke anxiously wanted to try if she could open the door, because she was the one who opened the door before.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, she was stopped.
"Wait." Mu Hao took off his clothes and rolled them up. He tried to hold the stove door handle with his clothes and confirmed the temperature before letting Yu Ke come over.
Nowadays, stove doors cannot be touched directly, otherwise the high temperature can burn people in an instant.
Yu Ke grabbed the door handle through her clothes and pulled hard for a long time, but the stove door did not move.
It's useless no matter who comes.
Pan Mo in the furnace could no longer withstand the baking heat of the blazing fire, and his exposed skin suffered varying degrees of burns and scalds.
He gritted his teeth and took out the healing item to heal himself.
But as long as the fire in the stove has not gone out, as long as he remains in the stove, the healing items can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
