Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 24 Red and White Soup

"What do you mean?"

The child's voice on the phone didn't explain, it just said with a smile that this is the Qiqiao game hall, which will bring a pleasant gaming experience to all players.

Baisu caught the word "player" and was about to follow up with a question, but unexpectedly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, there was no busy tone at all. Baisu turned into the cashier and saw that the phone line was not plugged in at all, so it was impossible for a call to come in.

Calling back was impossible, Baisu could only hang up the receiver.

Looking for a key?
Baisu frowned, and turned to face the huge hot pot restaurant. Counting from front to back, there were probably dozens of tables.

He didn't think the door key would be placed in such a conspicuous place on the counter in front of the door, but he checked it tentatively, and sure enough, it wasn't there.

In the drawer under the cash register, Bai Li found a stack of work logs, which were still handwritten paper versions. After a quick look, it seemed that they were the daily records of a certain employee.

Simply flipping through, there are complaints about work and complaints about the boss, the only useful information is probably...she accidentally dropped the key in the pot, hoping that the customer will not find out.

Let alone how to do it, who would write down complaints about work and put them in the work place?

Baisu felt strange, but put the paper back on the counter and continued to look at other things.

The other items of some value found in the search were a breastplate with the word Xiaomei written on it.

No surname, only first name.

Rubbing the surface of the badge with his hand, suddenly there was the sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground in the dining area, Baisu immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.

The small table for two was placed there safely, with a red and white mandarin duck pot in the middle steaming, and the chairs beside the table were a little crooked, which should have been bumped by the customers when they left in a panic.

Noticing anything unusual, Baisu lowered his head again.

This hotpot restaurant has simple rules written down.

It shouldn't be too complicated. I guess it's the time prohibition and the rules that you must find the key when you escape. He discovered it when he couldn't break the door and the phone time didn't move.

There may be others, but they won't be very convoluted, and there will be fewer shackles on the people in this space.

Rules... When Baisu touched the signature pen on the counter, he pinched the pen body and drew a few circles on the blank space of the log paper.

Rules are a simple yet complex thing.

The simplicity lies in that as long as you find out, you only need to abide by it, and the complexity lies in how to break it on the basis of violations.

Baisu stared at the gate, looked again and again, and finally gave up a little dangerous idea.

Find the key and find the key, don't make a big fuss.

What's more, he hasn't replenished his strength after exercising in the bathroom... If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been lazy and avoided those bound rolls.

The food can't be eaten, don't let him know who made the hot pot restaurant like this.

With the obsession of a cook, Baisu continued to look for the key.

Bai Li, who had never played an escape room before, took nothing from the cashier and walked back to the dining area empty-handed.

It took a lot of time to find dozens of dining tables one by one, especially if the pots contained human limbs, which challenged one's rationality.

Of course, this is for ordinary people. For Baisu, everything in the pot can be regarded as food.

Although it's not very tasty...

What Baisu wanted was to buckle the pot and pour out all the contents inside, but he grabbed the handle and lifted it up, but the pot couldn't be lifted up, instead it dragged the whole table.

As a result, the pot was also welded to death by the written rules.

The movement caused by the flipping of the table is too great, and there are many sundries on the whole table, making it difficult to find objects.

So he dipped his chopsticks into the pot and stirred it, but because there were too many things, it was hard to tell what exactly he encountered. After searching for two tables, Bai Li decided to go straight to it.

The boiling water in the pot was nearly [-] degrees, and anyone who touched the surface of the water would be scalded with skin blisters, but Bai Li just touched the bottom of the pot without changing his expression.

Knuckles, a bit of an ulna, and a sleek worm carcass...no metal parts.

The hand pulled out of the boiling water was slightly red, and the wrinkled and blistered back of the hand looked scary and gave people a very painful feeling.

"The following is..."

The next two or three times, Baisu checked very quickly, fumbling around to remove the contents of the pot, and if there was nothing, he would change to another table.

He rummaged all the way, but he didn't realize that watching his actions through the monitor almost killed him.

That's not how its game is played!

This person, how can this person ignore its design! ! !

Seeing the range of activities of the black-haired youth under the monitor gradually approaching the correct answer, the "person" behind the scenes became anxious.

After spinning around for a while, after a few turns, it suddenly thought of a solution.

……

Baisu felt a chill for no reason.

As if someone was plotting against him behind his back, Baisu shrugged his shoulders.

What he is facing now is a mandarin duck pot with red and white soup. He just finished scooping up the side of the spicy pot, and now his hands are dipped in the white soup.

The scalding boiling water had no effect on Baisu, and the pain sensation was not something that would hinder him. After touching the pot around, this time, he touched a different object.

It doesn't seem to be an object, but there is a piece of temperature in a hot environment that drops sharply, almost reaching freezing point.

Baisu thought that he felt wrong, went back to that piece and touched it twice, the cold touch was very soft, and even had a solid body, he held a hand.

Immediately, there was a burst of crying in his ears.

The cry of a sobbing woman was close at hand, and the cold and weak hand was about to leave. Baisu raised her head in the direction where her hand left, and there was a black-haired woman in a white skirt standing in the direction facing Baitang. Her figure was ethereal and somewhat translucent. texture.

"Woo... woo... woo."

She raised her hands, crying until the pear blossoms were raining, and I felt sorry for her. Her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and she glanced at Baisu indifferently, as if she was crying about her grievances.

The beauty cried beautifully and cried sadly, waiting for someone to talk to her with her charming appearance, but her tears dripped for a long time, but no one responded to her.

It seems that all the performances are just winking to the blind, which is useless.

The female ghost howled twice again, but still did not respond.

Then she raised her eyes and looked resentfully at the black-haired young man who was slowly checking if there was anything hidden in the pot: "Can't you hear me crying!"

Baisu glanced at her strangely: "I heard it."

After speaking, he lowered his head again, counted the human organs taken out of the pot, and after confirming that the key was not inside, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" The female ghost floated forward and appeared in front of Baisu in an instant, "Then why didn't you ask me what happened!"

The female ghost stopped there, her eyes showing resentment and dissatisfaction, and as her mood changed, the slender hand held in front of her chest also changed, and the round nails gradually became longer, like hooked eagle claws arched there.

She waited for someone's answer, and was ready to pounce on someone who made a mistake and threatened with a ghost.

Baisu didn't hide or dodge, but asked suspiciously: "Are you real?"

　Thanks to Luzhou for the reward of 100 coins, thank you!
