It was already two hours later when I found the last two cards.
Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu walked back to find Yun Shu.
The basement is full of wine, glass fragments, and hammered ghost heads. You can kick them after just two steps. You have to be careful. If you slip on the wine or the fragments, you may be injured all over your body.
Got a wound.
I dragged my feet and walked nervously all the way, but I saw Yun Shu in the corner holding a bottle of wine and drinking comfortably.
Lu Mingzhu: "...What are you doing?"
"You're drinking, can't you tell?"
Chu Xiaoqin: "Drink so much?"
The bottle is already half empty.
Yun Shu shook her head: "I spilled the wine."
She lifted the bottle up. The soaked wrapping paper on the bottle was in tatters, and no one could tell that a small half of it had been torn off.
Lu Mingzhu: "You feel comfortable. Let's go. We have found all the cards and we can go out."
"Okay." She dropped the bottle and walked out.
When they walked to the elevator that opened automatically, they took out five cards and didn't know what to say, so they just waited for the electronic sound to come out.
But after waiting and waiting, there was no sound.
The most impatient Lu Mingzhu tried to talk to the electronic voice like Yun Shu did before: "Hey, hey, are you there? We have found all the cards."
Still no movement.
Chu Xiaoqin tentatively reached out and touched the wall: "Do you want us to put the card somewhere? Or do we need to press some button to notify the other party first?"
"The voice didn't say anything. Yunshu, why are you distracted again?"
Yun Shu withdrew her aimless gaze and asked her a question first.
"How many hours have we been looking here?"
Chu Xiaoqin's eyes flashed: "About, four or five hours? There is no accurate reference, the specifics are not clear."
She nodded: "We came down after dinner, five hours later, and now it's midnight? Could it be that the program team didn't expect us to find it so quickly, so they are all sleeping?"
Lu Mingzhu was still a little surprised: "Dinner? Did you say anything? It was so bright upstairs, I thought it was daytime. But last time we went from the forest to the island, we went from midnight to the afternoon of the next day. Why didn't we have time this time?
Have you spent the night? Is this place relatively close to the island?"
Yun Shu lowered her eyes and smiled, with faint dimples at the corners of her mouth.
"may be."
Lu Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "Then we still have to wait here?"
"It's okay to wait," Chu Xiaoqin said angrily, "Anyway, we already know that no one will be eliminated, so we should just take a rest."
So they waited for a while.
There was no change in light in the basement, and there was no time to refer to. There was only dullness and darkness, and a strong smell of alcohol. The three people leaned together in silence, each thinking and calculating the flow of time.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the electronic sound finally sounded.
"Congratulations to everyone for finding all the extra score cards and successfully passing the third episode!"
"According to the rules, Chu Xiaoqin will get an extra 110,000 points, Lu Mingzhu will get an extra 110,000 points, and Yun Shu will get an extra 10,000 points after deducting 10,000 points. The audience's favorite value remains unchanged."
"Now, please go back upstairs. As a reward for this issue, you will have three days to experience life in the castle. The castle butler system will provide you with all-round services."
As he finished speaking, a crack lit up on the wall in front of him, and the elevator opened automatically.
They walked in, and because of their previous experience, they were not so scared to take the elevator this time.
Lu Mingzhu asked excitedly: "Does it mean we can play here for three days? We are the only ones in this place?"
Chu Xiaoqin was also vaguely excited: "Yes, we can experience the butler system it talks about later, which should be fully machine-controlled."
After speaking, he asked again: "Yunshu, what are you going to do?"
The elevator reached the upper floor and opened with a ding.
Yun Shu walked out and said, "I'm going to sleep first."
Chu Xiaoqin: "..."
Lu Mingzhu: "Why do you just want to sleep?"
"Otherwise?" She pointed to her wet dress stained by wine, "I take a shower and sleep all at once. Isn't it supposed to be early in the morning? Shouldn't we go to bed in the early hours of the morning?"
They were both speechless.
The three people walked slowly through the huge living room, looking around.
They were the only ones here, and the restraint of being stared at by the host as a guest was much dissipated, and they could still discuss a few words in a low voice while watching.
"The curtains over there are at least four or five meters long, right? Why are they so long?"
"What is that? Is there a fire in the room? Oh, I remembered, there was a drawing in the elementary school textbook."
"It's so beautiful here."
Yun Shu also sighed in her heart.
It's so beautiful here.
The patterns on the dome on the third floor are bright and mysterious. They are the shiny crystal-like things hanging under the huge lamps, which reflect the dazzling light and make people dare not look at them for a long time.
When they reached the second floor, the three of them separated. Yun Shu turned the handle and pushed the door open and entered the room where she woke up before.
As soon as the door opened, an emotionless mechanical sound sounded inside.
"Welcome back, the breeze circulation system has been turned on for you, the lighting system has turned on the night mode, the hot water has been prepared, and the bathtub has started to fill with water."
As she walked in, the curtains on the opposite side of the door automatically parted, and the lamp in the room only lit up the bedside lamp. On the contrary, the bathroom was too bright to ignore.
She opened her mouth slightly and looked around for a while. When the sound disappeared, she quietly walked into the bathroom.
She kept the wet paper hidden in her skirt, took out a piece of paper, mixed it together and held it in her hand.
When she returned to bed after taking a shower, she pulled the quilt up to cover her head, leaving a small gap for light, and then carefully unfolded the paper that had been soaked with water.
There were "eyes" everywhere, and she even suspected there were eyes in the bathroom. Maybe there were "audiences" who stayed up at night who could see all their privacy.
It was unsafe everywhere, so she could only think of this solution, sulking in the quilt, holding her breath and looking at the piece of paper carefully.
There is a film on the paper that protects the shredded paper from being soaked and rotten, and most of the contents can be seen clearly even when unfolded.
There is a vague number on a half-written, incomprehensible English word.
1996.
She closed her eyes, leaned her head on the back of her hand and stayed quiet for a while.
Although she didn’t know if the year 1996 existed in other worlds and also existed in English, she still couldn’t help but regard this as proof of the original world——
It is the year 1996 in her mind, and it is the English that every student must learn.
The balance in my mind began to swing from side to side again, adding a weight to the side of "this is an infuriating captivity game".
After being suffocated in the quilt for a while, she climbed out, lifted the quilt, and lay down on her back, staring at the ceiling.
If this is really the real world, and they are really just in a captivity game played by others for bad fun, then what's the point of changing the map?
What happened to the audience?
They had never met anyone else in the forest, on the island, or in this castle. How did they do this?
