6. Escape from birth

Xia Xiqing originally thought that the so-called escape room reality show was to create a semi-open studio, throw the guests in it, follow a lot of VJs, and everyone just performed escape room step by step according to the script.

Unexpectedly, things were not what he thought. They were not even told what kind of secret room they were, but were blindfolded with a black cloth and took them to a place. Before leaving, the director specifically instructed, "Please don't talk before the camera is turned on."

I felt like I was being carried by two people for a long time, and then I was arranged to sit on a chair. I thought this was the end. Unexpectedly, the other party tied him up with a rope, unable to move, and vaguely heard the sound of metal collision and his wrists cooled down.

His hands were squashed and bent on his chest.

If it weren't for sure that it was a recording program, Xia Xiqing would have suspected that he had been kidnapped.

He now understands what the director has been saying just now, "This show pursues a sense of reality, and the staff will never intervene, so we don't know what will happen to everyone here."

Zhou Ziheng vaguely heard the footsteps of several people. His hands were tied with ropes, hanging above his knees, and his ankles were also wrapped tightly and unable to move. Just when he was confused, the black cloth on his eyes was untied by the staff.

The sudden clarity of vision brought him a strong sense of discomfort. Zhou Ziheng narrowed his eyes slightly. In front of him was a closed room, which was different from many escape rooms with a terrifying atmosphere. The view here was still bright, and dim lights were cast from the roof. However, except for the two rows of bookshelves against the wall, many of the furniture were covered with white cloth, which looked a bit strange.

But none of these were enough to surprise him.

Because the scene in front of you is more surprising than the secret room.

Xia Xiqing, who was still making jokes with him in the studio two hours ago, is now tied to another chair, and the two are only half a meter apart.

I don’t know if it was to cater to the previous online popularity, but under the arrangement of the program team, Xia Xiqing was still wearing a white shirt with black suit pants this time, with his eyes covered with black cloth, and a strand of hair on his forehead escaped from his half-tied hair, hanging on his face, and the fine hair was swept against his thin and delicate jawline.

The glory of his eyes was wiped off by the black cloth, and the small mole on the tip of his nose became even more prominent, making him helpless and well-behaved.

Although Zhou Ziheng knew very well, neither of these two words belonged to him.

The handcuffs on his wrist were shining with a cold metallic luster under the dim light, and his wrist bones were slightly raised, as if they could collide with the metal to make a crisp sound. The rope was like a winding snake, wrapping around his body, tightly, as if the traces of the muscles under the fabric could be seen.

The black cloth cover made Zhou Ziheng unable to see those frivolous eyes. This seemed to be the first time he had observed the person in front of him unscrupulously, a man who was hypocritical and cunning in his heart.

He looked a little pitiful, Zhou Ziheng thought from the bottom of his heart, or in other words, it made people feel strange desire to make him even more pitiful.

I don’t know why, but at this moment I suddenly understand the psychology of some people with special hobbies.

"The game officially begins." A sound with a slight metal texture through the voice changer came out from the top of his head, interrupting Zhou Ziheng's delusion that was growing like wild grass in his mind.

"Welcome to "Escape Day". Now, please forget your original identities. In this game, you are players trapped in the secret room. Please note that the secret room here is not just one, but many rooms connected. This means that when you open the door of your secret room, you will enter a new secret room. There may be people trapped here like you. Those who escape from all secret rooms and leave this house in the shortest time will become the winners of this game and get the highest points. The points earned by the other players are calculated based on the escape time, and each ten extra minutes will be reduced by one point."

It's really a second-rate person. Xia Xiqing smiled, but the prompt sound was not over.

"One thing that needs to be specifically stated is that the biggest difference between "Escape Day" is that this is not a simple escape room reality show. There are killers among many players. Unlike ordinary players, he needs to hide his identity and have the right to "kill" the player. The killed players will be cleared in this round. In one episode, killers can only kill one player. Of course, ordinary players can also find the "killers" you believe through reasoning and judgment. When all players gather together, they can "kill" them by voting. Once the "killer" becomes the final winner, every ordinary player in the game is equivalent to death. If the points in this round are cleared, killers will get double points."

"During the game, you need to use your intelligence to think and reason. If you encounter puzzles that are helpless, you can prepare time to exchange clues, which means that your escape time will increase and your points will decrease accordingly. The player with the highest total points will become the champion of this season's program and win the mysterious prize."

"Each of you does not have any auxiliary decryption equipment, only a modified mobile phone. This mobile phone has four functions: first, accept information from the program team. Second, purchase clues for pre-time purchase. Third, turn on the timing after the first player passes the level. Fourth, submit the list of killer suspects and complete the secret voting execution. Note: players cannot use mobile phones to communicate with each other, you can only communicate on-site dialogue, if you want. The rules are introduced."

The sound paused, accompanied by three ticking sounds similar to the clock countdown.

three.

two.

one.

"Now, the game begins."

Hearing these words, Xia Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the chair, and leaned back. Zhou Ziheng looked at his every move and understood that he must not know his existence now, and such a "peeping" seemed open and upright.

Although this approach is not worthy of encouragement in Zhou Ziheng's moral concept, Xia Xiqing is an exception. He is insidious and cunning, without shame or danger. He has never met a similar person, so when facing him, Zhou Ziheng's usual behavior patterns will always fail uncontrollably.

Xia Xiqing tried to use his hands to reach the black cloth on his eyes, but his arms were entangled and couldn't lift them up. After several attempts, he ended in failure. He couldn't help but sigh and said to himself softly, "You can't even see it. Are you waiting to die in the first period?"

Zhou Ziheng wanted to laugh a little, but for some reason, observing Xia Xiqing now seems to have diluted the urgency of escaping from the secret room.

He could not see at all, and his hands and feet could not move. Xia Xiqing could only lightly lit the ground with his heel, leaned back, leaning lazily on the chair, and not talking. The room was quiet and strangely quiet. Zhou Ziheng deliberately did not make any sound. It was obvious that he was trapped, and helping each other was the best strategy, not to mention that they were still recording the show, so they couldn't keep going like this, but now he just wanted to watch Xia Xiqing's jokes.

Perhaps because he was really bad, in Zhou Ziheng's heart, such a person deserved to be smeared.

An illusion of practicing the way for heaven.

What he could never imagine was that the man who had been so lazy that he almost gave up struggling had just sat up straight and sat straight facing Zhou Ziheng, as if the eyes covered by black cloth could look through the barrier and stare at him intently.

That's right, it's just "watching" him.

Zhou Ziheng frowned, he was sure that he had not exposed any sound.

Suddenly, Xia Xiqing's head tilted, and a very gentle curve was raised at the corner of her mouth.

"Help me untie my eye mask."

It's impossible. He obviously can't see it.
