Cook in full swing in an escape game

Chapter 38

The last scene Lin Sheng remembered was that after the 23rd episode ended, Sharp in the classroom suddenly went berserk.

Teacher Linda was concentrating on watching the show when suddenly she heard a child screaming angrily in the classroom.

"Don't yell! Shut up!" Teacher Linda's first reaction was to stop his behavior.

However, the runaway Sharp is not an ordinary child. Maybe Teacher Linda can subdue the crying Yu Xin, but Sharp doesn't give her any chance to get close at all.

Sharp opened his mouth wide and screamed, with blue veins showing on his forehead, which is very rare for a kindergarten child. When he stood up from his seat, the players saw that Sharp was actually holding an ax in his hand!

Teacher Linda was also obviously shocked by the sight in front of her. She froze in place, and saw Sharp with a gloomy face, dragging the ax step by step towards the front of the stage.

Sharp put on his own feet, so he moved very quickly, and he came to Teacher Linda almost instantly, and then waved his hand, stably and fiercely chopping the ax blade into Teacher Linda's neck.

Blood spurted from her arteries, staining half the ceiling red.

Teacher Linda's eyes widened, her throat made an indistinct sound, and blood bubbles overflowed from the corner of her mouth, staining the lower half of her face red, which was exactly the same color as her lipstick.

Finally, her body crashed down.

All of the above happened in a very short period of time, and the sudden change caused the players to flee in panic.

Amin, the birthmark man, ran away and asked, "Where did he get the axe?!"

He Yu: "I don't know, maybe it's the exclusive weapon of the boss."

He Yu's words are well-founded, and at this point, the players finally understand that the final boss of this dungeon is not Mr. Xiong at all, but Sharp!

Sharp was holding an ax at the moment, hacking around like a butcher. His eyes were scarlet, and he had almost lost his mind. He looked like a big boss who went crazy after half of his blood was knocked out in the game.

The classroom fell into chaos. Sharp cut and injured a player. The player folded his arms and screamed. He lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Lin Sheng poked his head out, and he saw that the man was Cai Qiong.

Cai Qiong fell to the left in the first row, but his teammate Wu Zexin didn't plan to rescue him at all, so he ran away like a wind.

In the current situation, no one dared to rush forward to save others. Besides, although Cai Qiong's wound was bleeding, it was not life-threatening for the time being, and the most fortunate thing was that Sharp beside him was not fond of fighting. It seemed that Cai Qiong was injured. Only because he was in the way.

Regardless of Cai Qiong's screams, Sharp put away the ax and walked straight towards the TV.

Lin Shengzai carefully observed Sharp's every move, and he felt that he still knew too little about this child.

Sharp on the TV was dead. Mr. Xiong stood up and put Sharp's body on the steps. The blood flowed down from his calf and spread on the steps step by step.

When the bound children saw this, their faces were as white as paper, and they were stunned.

The man in front of him is willing to kill his own child, so his fate will not be much better...

Outside the TV, Sharp stared at his dead body without moving. This scene was so weird that Lin Sheng unconsciously held his breath.

What happened here has long been beyond Lin Sheng's imagination. He couldn't understand how Sharp would react after seeing how he was killed, but it seems that any reaction can't be overstated, right?

At this moment, Mr. Xiong raised his head again, and his heart tightened when he saw the face that was three points similar to Sharp's.

Mr. Xiong's eyes were fierce, but the corners of his mouth were slightly opened, showing a sly smile at the camera.

Sharp stood in front of the TV, his chest heaving and heaving as if irritated, and he gasped for breath.

Finally, Sharp picked up the ax and split the TV in half amidst the screams of the players...

When he woke up again, Lin Sheng found that there were only three of them left in the huge classroom.

Zheng Yuzhe opened his eyes, the fear that Sharp brought to him had not dissipated, so he subconsciously wanted to hide under the table.

However, Zheng Yuzhe soon realized that the crazy Sharp was not here at all.

"Eh? What... what's wrong with this?"

He clearly remembered that there was an ax murder case just now, why suddenly Sharp disappeared, Teacher Linda disappeared, leaving only himself, Zhou Muchen, and Lin Sheng?

The surrounding area is terribly quiet. It’s like just getting off a dangerous and exciting roller coaster. When you turn around, you’ll be sitting in a fresh and elegant tea room with a cup of fragrant tea. The huge contrast makes you suddenly feel unreal and illusory. .

Zheng Yuzhe felt a little dizzy, he hurried to the door of the classroom, wanting to see the situation outside.

However, after stretching out his hand and pulling it, Zheng Yuzhe found that the door was locked from the outside and could not be opened at all...

"Where's the window?" Zhou Muchen also woke up at this moment, and reminded Zheng Yuzhe.

Zheng Yuzhe first stepped on the chair, and then on the table, but unfortunately the window was locked just like the door.

Through the glass, Zheng Yuzhe saw that the corridor was also empty.

Lin Sheng raised his forehead, frowned and said, "Come down, there is no one here, and we have been wiped out by the regiment again."

Hearing this, Zheng Yuzhe looked at him puzzled, "Why do you...?" He just wanted to say how you knew that, but then he suddenly remembered that when he woke up in the basement of the hut last time, he didn't know anything. Without knowing it, he was locked in a secret room.

"How could it be another wave of mass destruction?!"

This time, even Zhou Muchen was confused.

Although I don't want to admit it, the current situation does look like what Lin Sheng said.

It's just that Zhou Muchen still wants to find out the reason, otherwise he will be confused, and he may never be able to get out.

The three gathered together to discuss.

The last time the group was destroyed was because everyone was woken up by Sharp's footsteps, but this time it wasn't even night, Sharp ended the battle while watching TV.

This trend is very bad. With the cycle of the plot, the speed at which the boss solves the crowd is getting faster and faster...

Zheng Yuzhe swallowed nervously. Although he could no longer understand the plot, this did not prevent him from intuitively feeling the pressure and fear conveyed to him by the game.

Lin Sheng put his head in his hands, and his fingers tightly grasped his hair, trying to use pain to wake himself up, so that he could think about what he did wrong.

Zhou Muchen: "Don't worry, let's start from the beginning."

If he guessed correctly, the three of them will encounter the same annoying thing again in this secret room, and if they can escape smoothly, they will enter the cycle again after leaving the teaching building.

And this also means that the players failed completely in the last cycle. They failed to find a way to clear the level before the BOSS was completely blackened, so the cycle will continue...

Where did I go wrong?

Lin Sheng carefully recalled the scenes that happened.

The last cycle started from the basement. After finding the diary on the second floor, the players confirmed that the clue was on Sharp. Through the temptation on the lawn, everyone learned that Sharp was the owner of the broken foot.

Sharp in kindergarten was just like what was written in his diary, a child who didn't fit in well. Lin Sheng also discovered that Sharp had a lot of malice towards players who bullied him.

Immediately afterwards, the players watched the 23rd TV program with Teacher Linda.

This time the program is a replay of the video, and it is about Sharp taking his classmates home and accidentally smashing his father's child abuse conspiracy.

At the end of the video, Sharp was killed by his father and his feet were chopped off. However, before he died, his father held his corpse to brainwash and hypnotize him, making Sharp forget the crime he saw in the basement.

This also explains why Sharp in front of the TV suddenly ran away when he saw this video tape. It turned out that Sharp's ghost couldn't remember how he died, so he helped Mr. Xiong hunt the children after death, because he didn't Know what you are doing.

Having said that, all three agree that the idea that the players are trying to dig out clues from Sharp is correct, but for some reason, they still trigger the be ending.

Zhou Muchen also couldn't understand the reason for this, and the three faced each other in a slumped manner, speechless for a moment.

After a while, Lin Sheng suddenly asked Zheng Yuzhe:

"Zheng Yuzhe, can you describe the zombie you hate the most?"

Compared with the conditions that trigger be, what is more urgent now is the danger that will be encountered next.

Lin Sheng has watched a lot of zombie movies. There are many kinds of zombies on the screen. For example, European and American movies are different from Hong Kong movies.

Zheng Yuzhe pursed his lips, and said anxiously: "...Is it coming soon?"

He looked around vigilantly, and there was no movement for the time being, but the quieter it was, the scarier it was, because he didn't know which direction the zombies would come from.

"Brother, if I faint from fright, you must save me!"

If he really saw the zombie he was most afraid of with his own eyes, Zheng Yuzhe felt that his reaction would not be any better than that of Zhou Muchen. Although he did not have his toes bitten off by a zombie when he was a child, the nightmare alone was enough for him up.

Lin Sheng: "Tell me about the specific content of the nightmare first, so that I can prepare in advance."

If there is no accident, the door of this classroom is still opened by a key, and this key is still hidden in the most annoying thing. After listening to Zheng Yuzhe's introduction, Lin Sheng had a rough idea. He stood up and forced cheered up and said:

"Everyone find a weapon that is handy, crowbars, sticks, knives..."

Just as he was halfway through his words, he heard a "click".

The eyes of the three people all fell to the place where the noise was made, and then they were shocked to see that the door of the classroom opened by itself!

Lin Sheng, who was still talking about finding the key from the zombie to unlock the lock just now:  …

The slap in the face came too fast, crying and crying.

Through the opened door, the three of them probed out to take a look. It turned out that not only this room, but also the doors of other rooms in the corridor were wide open at this time. It seemed that there was a central control button. doors will be opened...

and many more!

all the doors?

Then if there is a room where zombies were closed before......

Lin Sheng looked back at Zheng Yuzhe, and said in a low voice, "Here we come, get ready."

Zheng Yuzhe: Terrified!

In Zheng Yuzhe's nightmare, he and a group of friends were chased by zombies all the way in the teaching building, running from one end of the corridor to the other, running down level by level.

Therefore, in this experience, the zombies ran very fast, and they followed closely behind the three of them with claws and claws. It is not an exaggeration to say that the speed of life and death is not too high.

The three of Lin Sheng struggled to run through the long corridor, then went all the way down the stairs, following the route in Zheng Yuzhe's dream.

It wasn't until Lin Sheng pushed open the door on the first floor with his own hands that the zombies behind him disappeared without a trace.

"call--"

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the lawn outside the teaching building, they saw other players.

Lin Sheng was a little surprised. After familiarizing himself with the process, the said players would go back to the kindergarten directly, but Amin and the three of them seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing them coming out, Amin took the initiative to wave.

This gave Lin Sheng a feeling that Amin didn't leave because he was waiting for them.

When the three approached, A Ming immediately excitedly said: "I know how to pass the level!"

"What did you say?!"

A Ming spoke very directly and never circled around. When he saw the three of them had just come out of the teaching building, he didn't greet them symbolically, but on the contrary, his straightforward personality was quite likable.

A Ming smiled slightly, "Speaking of it, I have to thank Ah Shui, it was his casual sentence that reminded me."

"When we just woke up, we realized that we were wiped out again this time." Amin said slowly, "I don't understand what's going on, why this dungeon is so difficult, and we are wiped out every time!"

Indeed, the three of Lin Sheng also discussed this issue.

"At this moment, Ah Shui suddenly said something."

"He said, the player group was wiped out, the aboriginal group was wiped out, oh yes, John was the only one who ran out."

Gone?

A few people didn't quite understand, Zhou Muchen frowned, "What does this mean, can you explain?"

Amin said: "Before explaining this, let me ask you a question."

He pointed in the direction of the teaching building with his chin, "Is the thing in there real or fake?"

"Of course it's fake." Zheng Yuzhe said without thinking.

Big rats and zombies are the most annoying things for players, and they only appear as tests.

Amin nodded, "That's right, let me ask you again, are the things in the kindergarten real or fake?"

This time, none of the three answered immediately.

Lin Sheng rolled his eyes. The reason why Amin asked such a question must have some intentions. He tentatively said, "Is it also fake?"

Amin nodded heavily, "I think so."

Zhou Muchen was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the real timeline is impossible to loop over and over again!"

The dead cannot be brought back to life, and the situation in Happy Town is indeed against common sense, but before that, the players have not thought about the truth and falsehood.

Amin continued: "All of this is fake, Teacher Linda is fake, Sharp is fake, and Mr. Xiong we met is also fake, but do you know what is real?"

"What happened in the tape is true! John escaped alive, this is true!"

At the end of the video, Sharp and a group of children are trapped here, but John runs in the jungle and never looks back...

The thunderous words made Lin Sheng’s pupils tremble. Amin was right. The police’s account of the case 18 years ago can prove that what happened in the video tape actually happened, and most importantly, players have never seen it in kindergarten. John, he only appears on tapes and in Sharpe's diary.

If he managed to escape, he should be in his 20s by now. Real humans will grow older, but Sharp, who turned into a ghost, will always be trapped at the age of five or six.

That makes sense.

Thinking of this, Lin Sheng murmured: "Fake things will cycle. If you want to break the cycle and return to reality, you have to find something outside the cycle..."

Amin: "That's it!"

"But we can't find John."

Zheng Yuzhe finally understood, Lin Sheng said that the thing outside the cycle is John, but this is contradictory, John has escaped from Happy Town, how will the players find him?

Amin bit his lip. It seemed that he didn't know the answer to this question.

"No, there is no need to find John."

Lin Sheng put his hands on his knees, and his face turned pale due to the rapid brainstorming. He said to the crowd, "There is no need to find him, we just need to copy the way he escaped."

The six returned to kindergarten.

Teacher Linda, who was hacked to death by Sharp, came back again. She took the children to play games, and two aborigines died on the spot.

During the lunch break, Wu Zexin deliberately wrote down the name of an aborigine. When Teacher Linda came to check the ward, he hid his mouth in the quilt and called out the name of that person.

So the aborigine was sent to the hut in the woods that night.

Because Tang Lili failed to return to kindergarten, there are still six aborigines and nine players left.

When the police showed up in the grove on time, Lin Sheng didn't ask him about the situation of Sharp's house. This time, he asked the police about John.

"John? Let me think about it, um——, remember, a child disappeared 18 years ago, and his name is John."

"Death? No, no, no, John didn't die, because he returned to Happy Town later."

"It is said that he was admitted to a very good university, but John left after completing the formalities."

Sure enough, the police knew everything about everyone in this small town.

Lin Sheng finally understood that this is the correct usage of the police!

The appearance of the police is not to help the players get justice, but their previous understanding is too simple.

The first time the player directly led the police to the hut, which directly led to the destruction of the group, but the second and third times, Lin Sheng adjusted his strategy and learned important clues from the police.

I understand, the difficulty of this dungeon lies in the fact that there are no prompts. The looping gameplay gives players unlimited possibilities, but at the same time, players can only sum up experience through trial and error again and again, and find the right path as soon as possible.

The cycle is still going on. At present, players can push the aborigines out as a shield, but as the number of days increases, the aborigines will not be enough, so we must speed up!

During the free time, the three of Lin Sheng and the three of A Ming agreed that they would have a chat with Sharp.

"You can't be rough this time. Sharp is very malicious to those who bully him, but he is very good to his friends. If possible, try to be his friend."

Several people agreed with Amin's words.

In the previous cycle, although Amin's temptation allowed the players to learn some information, it also aroused Sharp's resentment.

According to experience, Sharp's attitude towards the player will directly determine the length of the player's survival.

A Ming: "Who among us has the best face?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone knew that this was to select a "diplomat". If the six people surrounded Sharp rashly, he might become hostile, so they could only send one of the most benign ones to negotiate with him.

Both A Ming and Zheng Yuzhe were a little rough, and Zhou Muchen always had a hint of sarcasm on his face. Looking around, their eyes gradually fell on Lin Sheng.

"I see you are fine."

"Hmm, nothing dangerous."

"Aren't you shorter than Sharp? That way he can feel a little more secure."

Lin Sheng:? ? ?

I'm short? !I'm just temporarily short! ! !

The topic became more and more crooked, Lin Sheng quickly told them to stop.

"All right, all right, affinity has nothing to do with height." He looked at the man who said he was short and said, "You're not very tall, you're short and fierce."

Hearing Lin Sheng's retaliation, Zheng Yuzhe couldn't help laughing, and the person who said Lin Sheng was short suddenly turned red in embarrassment.

Amin was a little embarrassed, because it was someone in his team who said this. Although there was no malice, it was really offensive, so Amin asked that person to apologize to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng was actually not angry. After the episode, the six of them discussed the strategy again.

......

That afternoon, as the elected "diplomat", Lin Sheng found Sharp alone who was playing alone.

He didn't take the initiative to get close to him right away. Considering Sharp's character, Lin Sheng was afraid that he would scare him away, or that he would simply hate him.

Players have only one chance in each cycle, and if they fail, they can only play another round.

Sharp squatted on the ground and drew pictures on the ground with a branch. Lin Sheng chose a place not far from him, sat on a small bench and looked at him from the corner of his eye.

Sharp was still wearing small leather boots, but there should be no feet in them. Thinking of this, Lin Sheng suddenly felt sad.

This child is also quite pitiful. He was not treated well during his lifetime, and he will be trapped in an infinite loop after death. Although he is young, he is actually a big boss with elements of sadness.

Lin Sheng turned his back, quietly opened the cookbook, and picked out two pieces of chocolate from it.

I found this in the dungeon of the apartment building. Zhang Jiu likes to eat sweets. At that time, Lin Sheng brought her several pieces. According to Zhang Jiu, the chocolate tastes very good.

Lin Sheng intentionally made the noise of unwrapping the chocolate wrappers louder, and sat next to Sharp to "fish" with chocolate in this way.

"Crash, blah, blah—"

Hearing the sound, Sharp's movements were obviously paused. I don't know if it was an illusion. He seemed to smell a sweet scent of chocolate floating in the air.

Seeing that the fish was hooked, Lin Sheng stopped playing with the candy wrappers. He glanced at Sharp, then bit off a large piece of chocolate and chewed it in his mouth.

"Mmm - delicious!"

Sharp glanced at Lin Sheng, and obviously swallowed his saliva.

Lin Sheng was still chewing and chewing, until he estimated that the other party was going to be too greedy, then stood up, walked to Sharp's side seemingly unintentionally, and tried to show a kind smile.

"Is your name Sharp?"

"Want some chocolate? Here, here's a piece for you."
