Showbiz Escape

Chapter 44
The opening rules are not necessarily global rules, but only represent the tasks that players need to complete at a certain stage.

In short, the current situation facing the three of Wenzhuo is that the sound must be controlled at 35 decibels or below. Once this value is exceeded, the pool of blood that is looking for prey in the house will be disturbed.

No one knows how lethal the pool of blood is.

What's more, they can't hide somewhere, they have to escape from this house, and the premise of escape is to find relevant clues and hints.

The overhead lights were dim, and the three of them followed the movement of the blood water closely by the faint light. After a while, seeing the blood water creeping towards the attic, they began to slowly approach the door.

But when they got to the door, they found that there was no lock hole at all, and there was no place to enter the password, only the bare door panel.

Wen Zhuo tried it, and she realized that the door panel seemed to be tightly connected to the wall, just like it was embedded in it, and it couldn't be opened by external force at all.

This may explain that what they are looking for is not the key to this door.

She waved to Tang Chunen and Jiang Zhou who were behind her, signaling them to retreat and find another place.

So Tang Chun'en went back to the wine cabinet and groped for the door of the wine cabinet with his hands, only to find that the door was not locked and could be opened with a light push.

The cabinet was filled with all kinds of wine, and the bottles were round or square, and they were exquisite in style. She picked up a bottle and looked at it. The foreign words and patterns on it were nothing special, but after unscrewing the cap, she found that the liquid in the bottle was colorless and odorless. , it doesn't seem to be normal wine, and it doesn't seem to be normal water, it's a little thicker than normal water.

She handed the bottle to Jiang Zhou, and asked him with her eyes if he understood, but Jiang Zhou sniffed the bottle and shook his head.

The two opened several bottles one after another, and this was the case.

There is no doubt that since these liquids are placed in the cabinet, they must be useful and should not be taken lightly.

Tang Chunen stuffed a bottle into his arms, and stuffed two bottles into Jiang Zhou's arms, just in case.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a strange "creaking" sound coming from the stairs in the attic. The three of them looked up and saw that the pool of blood had turned back again at some point, and it had become more crimson than before. It seemed to be glowing with light, as if it was about to burn in minutes.

...No, that might not be an illusion.

As the blood flowed slowly, the temperature inside the house also began to rise gradually. From the wall to the ground, it gradually began to show a trend of scorching heat. There was clearly no fire, but it seemed that someone had set it ablaze.

Even though they were wearing shoes, the three of them still felt the scorching heat that penetrated their skin. If this went on, within 5 minutes, they would be scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Although Jiang Zhou has a good mental quality and has long been prepared for the game world, he was still a little surprised and lost in view of the fact that this scene was beyond his understanding.

However, unexpectedly, the moment he clearly realized the danger, his first reaction was not to seek shelter and help from the two bounty hunters around him, but to hug Tang Chunen directly by the waist.

Tang Chunen, whose feet were off the ground inexplicably: "??"

She lowered her head and looked at Jiang Zhou, and realized later, oh, he might be afraid of burning his feet.

Even though it wouldn't be of much use, but...his instinctive reaction still moved her a little bit.

He is always like this, and from time to time, he will rely on some strange or unreasonable actions to shake her prejudice against him invisibly, and remind her that he is not as bad as he imagined.

But Jiang Zhou looked at her intently, and the next mouth shape was: "Have you gained weight recently?"

"..."

Sure enough, the bad was just as bad, not much better.

Tang Chunen rolled his eyes, forced him to put himself on the ground, and walked to Wen Zhuo's side with a wave of his hands.

Wen Zhuo doesn't have time to pay attention to the small details of these two people coming and going. She is trying to solve the crisis in front of her. After all, the house should be on fire after a while. To be roasted alive.

She pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt blessed. She took a wine bottle from the cabinet, unscrewed the lid and poured it under her feet.

At this time a miracle appeared, the liquid in the wine bottle did not evaporate like water, or ignite when heated like wine, it actually seemed to have the same texture as the swimming pool of blood, semi-frozen like jelly, Just like that, he condensed on the old floor in front of him.

The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher, and the ground is getting hotter and hotter. Seeing that he can barely hold on wearing thick-soled leather boots, Wen Zhuo simply stepped on the solidified transparent liquid nearby.

Strangely, the hot and unbearable touch of the soles quickly disappeared, and even other parts of the body became slightly cooler.

She was keenly aware that the liquid was really used to cool down, but it didn't seem to last long, and it would be absorbed automatically in about ten seconds.

Therefore, if players want to move freely in this house, they have to continuously use these wine bottles to cool down, so as to avoid the consequences of being scalded.

She pointed to the liquid on the bottom of her feet, and then gestured to Tang Chunen with a pouring gesture.

Tang Chunen understood immediately, quickly unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand, and poured a puddle at his and Jiang Zhou's feet to cool down.

During this period, Jiang Zhou was not idle, and took several bottles from the cabinet one after another. The three of them walked towards the bedroom in the house while cooling down.

The most urgent task is to find another channel to connect to the outside world besides the gate.

...Facts have proved that even if the method of cooling is known, the system cannot allow players to procrastinate indefinitely here.

When Wen Zhuo's fingertips touched the hot doorknob of the bedroom, she suddenly heard a loud bang behind her. The wine cabinet couldn't withstand the high temperature and collapsed from the corner of the wall, and the glass container inside shattered to the ground.

At the same moment, the decibel interface of the trio's watches displayed a warning red value.

The decibels are too high. I didn't expect that the abnormal sound caused by no personal reasons would also be liquidated on the player's head.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast. The bloody creature that was slowly crawling against the wall just now suddenly seemed to be stimulated by the sky, and its volume soared by more than ten times. Slender tentacles extended out, densely woven into a net, and attacked the three of them overwhelmingly.

At the very moment, Wen Zhuo decisively splashed the wine bottle in his hand on the bedroom door, and then broke in. At the same time, Tang Chunen pushed Jiang Zhou in first, based on the principle of putting customers first, while she herself did not Shen was brushed against his arm by one of the tentacles.

The tentacle was like a thorny thorn, so sharp that it tore through her coat on the spot, leaving an obvious bloodstain on her skin.

The three quickly entered the room and locked the door behind them. Wen Zhuo was in a hurry to check Tang Chunen's wounds, but Jiang Zhou was one step faster than her. He lowered his head and frowned and took Tang Chunen's hand.

The wound wasn't deep, but the pain didn't ease at all. Tang Chunen gasped in pain. He wanted to complain to his best friend at first, but when he saw Jiang Zhou approaching, he straightened his back and closed his hands indifferently, revealing I am used to the indifferent expression of strong wind and waves.

"Okay, it's not serious, what is this?"

Jiang Zhou lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Who called out 'Ouch' just now?"

"...That's a normal physiological instinct, but my willpower can overcome instinct. You are my client now, so you don't need to worry about such unnecessary things."

"Your stubbornness is exactly the same as back then."

Wen Zhuo watched this scene with a helpless face.

It's hard to imagine that these two people are actually superiors and subordinates who have terminated their employment relationship. Whose family has such a delicate atmosphere between superiors and subordinates?Or was it that both of them had a little bit of thought in the first place, relying on the fact that the customer would lose their memory after clearing the level, they decided to let themselves go in the game, and dared to say anything from the beginning?

Of course, this kind of thought is only fleeting, she has no time to gossip, she is still busy studying the rules of the game.

She observed the layout of the bedroom as quickly as possible, and saw that there was nothing but a bed. With the faint light above her head, she could see a small square door on the ceiling, which seemed to lead to something. place.

... She thought, it might be the attic leading to the second floor.

There was a small window on the attic on the second floor. She didn't pay much attention when she saw it at the time, but now she realized that it should be the real exit from the house.

Currently, the blood-water monster is blocking the outside, so it is definitely unrealistic to walk up the stairs. There is only a small door through the ceiling, but the ceiling is so high from the ground that it is difficult for normal people to climb up without using tools.

Dozens of tentacles of the blood-water monster were smashing at the door in turn. Seeing that the door was burning red and crumbling, it might collapse in less than 5 minutes. At that time, the space would be narrow like a turtle in a urn, and none of the three could escape. .

The floor was extremely hot, Tang Chunen poured the liquid in the wine bottle on the floor to cool down, and at the same time urgently searched for any missing clues and props in the house, but in the end he only found a black umbrella under the bed.

Subconsciously, she wanted to call Wen Zhuo, but suddenly remembered that there was a decibel limit in the rules, so she quickly silenced, walked over in small steps, and handed the umbrella to the other party.

Wen Zhuo took the umbrella casually, his eyes still fell on the small door in the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

Then she seemed to have an idea, motioned Tang Chun'en and Jiang Zhou to look at her, pointed to the carpet on the bedroom floor, and pointed to the bed.

This time, Tang Chunen and Jiang Zhou's thinking miraculously synchronized with his, and they instantly understood what she meant.

The carpet material in the bedroom is thick and hard. You can roll the carpet into a tube and stand it on the bed, and then step on the carpet to climb into the small door in the ceiling.

This operation is naturally very difficult, but it is also the only way at present.

After all, if measures are not taken as soon as possible, everyone will die even worse when the bloody monster outside the door breaks in.

　Sorry, I would like to apologize to everyone. I have been recuperating from the sun recently. My mind is always buzzing and I can’t get back to the state. I just resumed work today.
