after falling asleep

Chapter 88 05. That's how the escape room is played!

The dragonfly camera was activated and followed Charles to shoot.

The drawer was empty, which made Charles stunned when he opened it, and then turned to look for other clues.

The secret room is set as a study.There is a twin bed in the corner.Behind the desk is the bookshelf, which is filled with real books.

The screen switches to Li Man and Harris again.The two of them, like ordinary people who came into contact with the decryption game for the first time, looked around a little blankly, grabbed an object and looked back and forth to confirm whether it was a clue.

The director switched the camera to the secret room where Mu Su was, so all the audience saw a face that was close to the camera.

"It seems that Musu has discovered our footage." Clark grimaced at the audience: "It's a pity there is no additional reward."

After a burst of laughter, the director re-cut the screen to Charles, who had a new development.

In the secret room, Mu Su observed this crystal-like round metal object for a while, and then jumped off the table.

His black eyes gradually narrowed.

……

The drawer was half open, and it was empty.

A hardcover autobiography was placed on the table, with a quill tucked into the pages, as if the owner had something to do and temporarily used it as a bookmark.

Reaching out to pick up the book, slowly unfolding it, the smell of book paper overflows.

[Claude knew in his heart that what he expected, what he longed for, and what he desired was nothing but a blank space.God damn sterling, fuck the capitalists, he should have known.Should have poured coffee on his head long ago, on the Champs-Elysees...that coffee shop]

The last paragraph was scribbled out.

Mu Su looked away, holding his autobiography in one hand, and another book on the table with the other, and opened it thoughtfully, inadvertently swiped his index finger across the pages of the book, flipping quickly.

Pages are new, no stains.It shows that the owner here has no habit of scribbling.

"So...the ones that were smeared out are probably clues."

He walked around behind the desk and sat down like his master.

"What are the words that have been smeared out? The cafe on the Champs-Elysees... No. That way, there is no meaning of smearing out." Knuckles tapped on the table, Musu muttered to himself. "Is it just a pretense? Clues that will lead people into misunderstandings..."

After a while, the black eyes lit up slightly: "So that's the way, is this the way to leave the secret room..."

……

The second loop has been going on for 10 minutes.

The time for all players to escape the room is 30 minutes.

It was originally the main screen played back and forth among the players.Because the other three people except Charles had no substantial progress, they stayed in Charles' secret room all the time.

I saw Charles pull out a book from the bookcase, and with a slight shake, a leaf bookmark fell from the crack of the book.

The host Clark explained at the right time: "Charles got the key clue. I just don't know what the maple leaf is for..." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the director's request to switch the screen.

So Clark briefly commented on Li Man and Hades after the director switched the screen.Their progress remains on the page.

"I don't know how the Musu player is progressing. As a 'famous' detective, he may have obtained the key." Clark deliberately emphasized the famous three-character, causing a burst of laughter.

So the director cut the picture to the secret room where Mu Su was.

So all the audience saw that Mu Su chiseled the iron door, his head pressed against the crack of the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone! Let me out!! Help!!!"

The audience burst into laughter, especially those who were watching Musu's secret room from beginning to end.On the contrary, Clark, her hands were shaking, and she was speechless.

What are you doing?!What's up with this stuff!How can there be such a program!Who is he!Who!Who found him!

"Then...then let's look at Charles' side again." Clark's voice trembled a little, and he turned the screen bluntly without commenting.

At the same time, the contestants in the other three secret rooms heard faint sounds.They both looked out the door at the same time.

Is it the sound made by the program group?Charles thought to himself, comparing the leaves with the potted leaves on the desk without stopping.

There are no two identical things in the world—physically so.

Two identical things exist - another way of saying it in philosophy.

But if you just fool your eyes, it can also be done in physics.Charles found the leaf in the pot that had the same outline as his hand and pulled it off.

Take a closer look in front of your eyes, there seems to be a scratch.He hurriedly took the ink bottle on the table, dipped the leaf with ink, and printed it on the blank paper.

New clues emerge.

【chandelier】

Charles looked up.

……

click-

The tight door opened a gap.

Charles with messy hair stuck his head out of the secret room.

Outside is the living room layout, the same locked door, and there are no other contestants.

Seeing that he was the first to come out, Charles was slightly relieved.Immediately brought it up again.

This show is either the first person to clear the level or the first.Charles understands this.

As a well-known game player and the holder of multiple game speedrunning records, Charles' ambition is self-evident.

As a normal person, he naturally came up with an idea: to help other players leave the secret room together.

It is understandable to think so, after all not everyone is like Musu.Knowing where the keys are already, and helping other players by providing clues is simpler and easier than racking their brains to please the audience.

Charles came to the nearest door, knocked on it and asked, "Who's in there?"

"Who... Charles? You've come out?" The voice through the board was surprised.

A little complacent, Charles coughed lightly: "Look at the underside of the single bed to see if there is a card attached."

Li Man came to the window, groped for a moment, and pulled out a frosted card from under the bed.

"found it!"

"Look up, find the location of the vent, and throw the card in."

Li Man hesitated a little, but finally stood on tiptoe and put the card into the ventilation hole.

Nothing happened.

Just when Li Man opened his mouth to ask, a red key was thrown from the vent and fell to the ground.

After rescuing Li Man, Charles non-stop came to an adjacent door, knocked and asked, "Who's inside?"

"Who is talking?" Hades' muffled voice came through the crack of the door.

"what is this?"

Charles, who was about to answer, looked back, and Li Man was holding a bunch of keys, four in total, red, blue, green, and purple.

It seems that the program team has already prepared for the first player to leave the secret room.

……

click-

The third secret room door opened, and Hades thanked him and walked out.

"Hurry up."

After Charles said something, the three of them took the key to the last door, unlocked it and opened it.

And then see-

Musu lay face down on the floor.The ink was spilled aside, the index finger was stained with ink, and a line of writing was written crookedly beside the finger.

【The murderer is...】

A fun killer.
