Chapter 97 My Love (2)
Single player scenario mission...
A long-lost sense of joy arose in Li Ang's heart. He shook his head, logged out of the game square, and returned to the Longqing cruise ship in the real world to prepare.
Soon it was afternoon. Li Ang asked Chai Chai to wait outside the cabin. He held an ordinary Beretta 92F pistol and waited quietly in the cabin.
The clock on the wall was ticking, and as the second hand jumped to twelve o'clock, the scene in front of Li Ang suddenly went dark.
————
Pain, cold, numbness.
There was darkness all around,
Intense pain instantly flooded his body. Li Ang felt himself sitting on the ground against the wall. A cold current surged through his body from the top of his head along his spine to the soles of his feet. His body instinctively wanted to stand up, but his wrists were cuffed by something, unable to do so. Break free.
There was a sudden burning pain on the back of my left hand.
Like...handcuffs?
Where is this?
Detention center?
prison?
A serial killer's secret basement?
The body precedes the mind, subconsciously calling for the mark of the gods and psychic powers, but there is no feedback at all.
The player information panel, inventory, and skill bar summoned by consciousness all turned dim gray and became unusable.
Well, this phenomenon is already familiar.
[In this mission, players are in full role-playing mode, with no attribute enhancement, unable to use skills or skill scrolls other than title skills, unable to access items in the inventory, and unable to use equipment props]
[First stage mission goal: Leave the current room]
[Task time limit: None]
[Task reward: none]
[Failure penalty: none]
"..."
Li Ang let out a breath, and just when he was about to say something, he felt severe pain in his heart.
Bang...bang!
boom!
boom...
His heart felt like a roller coaster,
Beating violently from time to time,
Sometimes it suddenly comes to a standstill and becomes stuck,
The discomfort that surged through his body made him retching subconsciously, as if he had run five thousand meters in one breath and then stopped suddenly at the finish line.
Fortunately, the pain goes away just as quickly as it comes.
His heartbeat returned to normal immediately. Li Ang leaned back and pressed his upper body against the wall, examining the current situation.
The goal of the first phase of the task is to leave the current room. The task time limit, rewards and failure penalties are all classic three-no links, and no prompts are given.
"Fine,"
Li Ang took a deep breath, "First check my own status."
He moved his fingers, toes, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and other organs, and they all responded. He was a healthy man.
“The body I ‘observe’ from the contours I feel when my tongue touches my teeth, my own.
However, in the script task, the ‘I’ observed by others is still a certain character in the script task. "
So the question is, who is "I"?
Where is this?
Why does "I" appear here?
Li Ang moved his wrist, and as the pain all over his body disappeared, he saw that the current environment was not absolutely dark and lightless.
His current position is that his hands are cuffed, his arms are raised and pressing his left and right ears, and he is sitting on the ground against the wall.
To the left of where his feet were pointing, there was a narrow ray of light shining into the room from a position close to the ground.
That light was brighter, not natural sunlight, but artificial light.
In other words, it was coming from outside the room, along the crack at the bottom of the door.
However, due to the angle, this light did not help Li Ang see other things in the room clearly.
"I was handcuffed in a secret room, and there was an artificial light source outside the room. No matter how you look at this script task, it doesn't look like a harmonious and loving family fun."
Li Ang thought with a headache: "A serial killer? A perverted murderer? A transnational criminal group? A smuggling criminal gang? Or maybe it's a wealthy businessman who is simply rich and perverted enough to want to watch a live-action version of Chainsaw.
Regardless of the possibility,
Calling for outside help now is the worst option - there is probably the real culprit behind my current situation out there. "
You must escape from here quietly and quickly.
Li Ang continued to explore, and his wrists indeed seemed to be handcuffed.
But unlike ordinary handcuffs, the one on his wrist does not have a chain in the middle, but only two metal rings on the wrist.
It was locked between the metal rings with a padlock.
This padlock is quite heavy and strong. The ring in the middle not only locks the handcuffs, but also covers a metal pipe that looks like a heating pipe.
The metal pipe was horizontal and straight, hanging in the middle of the wall. There were nails connected to the wall at both ends, making the padlock unable to move, trapping Li Ang in place.
Recommended, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\\\] is really good, it is worth installing for all book lovers, and it is supported by Android and Apple phones!
The heating pipes are not turned on now and feel cold to the touch.
Since there is a certain gap between the heating pipe and the wall, Li Ang can raise his head and look up within a limited range.
“It’s too dark and you can’t see anything.
Um...what am I wearing? "
Li Ang tapped his feet lightly on the ground. The feet felt comfortable, the sound was crisp, and they were high-quality leather boots.
Then he lowered his head, bit his collar, and licked the fabric.
Now it's a script task where he is fully acted out. He is wearing the clothes of the character in the script,
Judging from the feeling, it is a suit, and it is relatively high-end.
“The price of a suit depends on the fabric, size, and tailoring skills.
Not to mention the latter two, the lining of this suit, which is the fabric on the reverse side, is made of wool, linen, and seemingly... horsehair?
The fineness of the wool yarn is at least 100, 120 to 150, soft and tough.
This natural material can be reset when suit fabrics and accessories move.
Moreover, the lining of this suit is not the fitted lining produced by the assembly line - it is only lined with a layer of low-grade fabric.
At least semi-handmade or even fully handmade.
The price of this suit alone can be replaced by an ordinary person's outfit.
If it is a custom-made high-end model from a big brand, the price will be even higher.
Ordinary white-collar workers can’t afford it. "
Li Ang calmly analyzed that he was not very interested in luxury goods consumption. He only met some wealthy families when he was a tutor.
Know a thing or two about so-called luxury consumer goods.
If in the real world before he became a player, he saw such a suit worth at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan while walking on the road,
Then you will definitely accidentally spill the boiled water (0 yuan) in the Xiaomi thermos cup (99 yuan).
Pour it on Xiaomi 10 (128G gray (3,400 yuan + 200 broken screen insurance)),
The phone accidentally fell from my hands and fell to the ground along with the special price down jacket (378 yuan) and overalls (69 yuan).
Finally, I caught it with labor protection snow boots (size 43, 200 yuan).
It avoids the fate of looking up at a 45-degree angle to the sky and crying, and the sadness flows back into a river.
"Well, I learned that the character I played was very rich, and then what."
Li Ang continued to observe the surroundings of the room. He gradually slid down from the wall, straightened his arms as much as possible, and slowly swept the floor with his feet (the floor of the room was made of wood, with a smooth surface and no burrs).
See if you can scan anything.
Just listen to a snap,
It's like I kicked something made of plastic.
Li Ang was overjoyed, and slowly moved the hard object with the instep of his leather boots, sandwiching it between his feet.
Then gently toss upwards.
Li Ang's football skills were pretty good. With one throw, the object drew a perfect arc in the darkness and landed right between his hands.
got it!
Li Ang felt relieved and exhaled a breath,
Hands cuffed in handcuffs caress the surface of the plastic object.
The object was as thick as two fingers, as long as a palm, and heavy to hold. It seemed to be made of aluminum alloy.
The front end is a round glass,
At the bottom are active buttons that can be pressed.
Is this a...flashlight?
Li Ang struggled to move his palm and pressed the bottom movable button. Sure enough, a bright light bloomed from the front of the flashlight.
Li Ang was already prepared for this. The moment after pressing the button, he pressed the front end of the flashlight with his palm to avoid the strong beam of light, and suddenly realized that his eyes had been in darkness for a long time.
"This flashlight is so bright."
Li Ang took a deep breath and slowly let his eyes adapt to the light. When he felt that he could do it, he released the palm that was pressing the front of the flashlight - the palm of his hand was a little hot.
He shined a flashlight into the room,
The room is about three meters square, with dark solid wood floors, a yellow prototype lampshade installed on the ceiling, and light green wallpaper on the walls.
The door on the side is an ordinary wooden door with a golden door handle. It seems that it is locked or not.
"Ordinary wooden door?"
Li Ang thought, if this was the secret basement of a serial killer, then the security measures should not be so simple.
This wooden door seems to have poor sound insulation, and the lock structure is relatively fragile. It seems that a healthy adult male may be able to break it open if he hits hard.
Li Ang had several guesses in his mind.
The room should be some kind of storage room. There were several open cardboard boxes placed within the reach of his feet. Due to the angle, he could not see what was in the cardboard boxes.
The presence of handcuffs made it impossible for him to move over, kick down the box, and check it out.
“The walls of the room don’t seem to be soundproofed either.
If I take off my boots, then kick them out with my feet, let the boots hit the wall, bounce back, hit the carton, and kick the carton towards me, will I be able to get the carton..."
Li Ang fantasized for a moment, then immediately gave up this unrealistic assumption.
Not to mention whether he can complete such difficult technical moves like a professional football player,
What if the shoe is kicked off with great force, making a noise and disturbing the possible murderer outside?
Moreover, there were several cardboard boxes and he only had one pair of shoes.
"This road is dead, so what about other factors?"
This scenario mission is a complete role play, which limits the player's strength. In other words, it is of a decrypted nature.
Test your observation and logical reasoning skills.
Under the light,
Li Ang glanced around the room, except for the messy assumptions of kicking off his boots, smashing the ceiling lampshade, and cutting his hands with the lampshade fragments.
It seems that there are still only handcuffs on the hands, which is most likely the next step in the puzzle.
"Hmm... let me see what's going on with these handcuffs."
Li Ang took a deep breath, squinted his eyes under the light, and looked at the handcuffs carefully.
Generally speaking, there are two common forms of handcuffs around the world, chain cuffs and board cuffs.
The former is an early design, with two or three iron rings connected in series between the cuff rings. Because the iron rings are connected in series with each other, the person being cuffed can still move freely within a certain range.
They even put handcuffs around other people's necks, tightened them hard, and strangled them to death.
In order to avoid this situation, board cuffs are now used more frequently.
That is to say, fewer iron rings are used in parallel, and the distance between the cuff rings is shortened, making it impossible to move freely and rotate the wrist forward and backward.
The handcuffs on Li Ang's hands were obviously modified from common plate cuffs.
The protruding iron ring component of the copy ring was sawed off.
A copper-yellow padlock is fastened between the two cuff rings.
In addition to the handcuffs, the padlocks were attached to metal pipes that resembled heating pipes.
“Hmm…think about it.
The message on this pair of handcuffs.
First of all, the owner had access to the handcuffs used in modern society, but he did not use them directly. Instead, he used a cuff ring + padlock to restrain me.
If he had available handcuffs, he could have handcuffed me directly to the heating pipe without any unnecessary trouble - the distance between the two cuffing rings of the plate cuffs was also very short, which was no worse than the discomfort caused by a padlock. "
Li Ang thought for a while, but without understanding the reason, he had to take the next step.
He slowly retracted his feet, pressed his back against the wall, and stood up slowly.
Then press your back against the wall and pull your wrists forward.
"hiss--"
He pulled his wrist forward hard, but the handcuffs remained motionless, and even the seemingly weak heating pipe did not move even a little.
"Well, violence won't do."
Li Ang gritted his teeth and shook his painful wrist, "Huh? This is..."
As he pulled hard on the handcuffs, the position of the padlock also changed.
Originally, the padlock was firmly clamped between the hands and the pipe, lying horizontally and parallel to the ground.
Li Ang struggled, causing the cuff rings on his hands to loosen slightly, causing the padlock to fall down.
After the padlock falls, from Li Ang's angle, he can see the top of the padlock.
Set with three small metal rings,
And each metal ring has a metal object similar to a key hanging on it.
The key is in the lock?
Li Ang was shocked, cheered up, licked his chapped lips, and used a flashlight to shine on the padlock.
Although the flashlight has a strong light, Li Ang's own eyes will also be illuminated by the light from this angle.
But he still managed to see the structure of the padlock.
It turns out that the three metal rings on the padlock actually hold three keys.
The problem is, one of the three keys is normal.
The other two are both incomplete.
Only the top half, and only the bottom half.
The incomplete key in the lower part is connected to the metal ring through a round hole.
"Damn! It's too much! It's pitch black and severe pain when you come up, limiting the player's skills.
Now the first puzzle is the compound decryption of three keys and one lock.
Killing Field System If you want to kill me, just say so. "
Li Ang was complaining crazily in his heart, but his brain was getting more and more excited. The more difficult the puzzle, the more valuable it is to conquer.
