1. A closed room

The dim room, the depressing atmosphere, and the suffocating smell of disinfectant.

The shaking broken incandescent lamps on the roof were still shining brightly, stubbornly illuminating every corner of the room.

pain!

A man covered his head with a sharp pain and stood up shakingly. His consciousness was still unconscious and he didn't know what was going on.

“Where is this place?”

Now he felt that his eyes were as dark as if out of context, and his head was still throbbing, and his hands covering the painful area felt a little sticky.

"Is this...blood?"

The sticky feeling on his hands was as sticky as glue made him feel more and more nauseous. When he endured the pain and saw the blood on his hands, the nausea became stronger and stronger, which made him kneel directly on the ground and retching.

After finally suppressing the disgusting feeling, the man slowly raised his head, and the originally dark eyes gradually returned to brightness, which allowed him to slowly observe the surroundings.

As far as you see, the first thing you see is the not too clean white square floor tiles. The gap between the tiles can also clearly see the black dirt. It may have been a long time since no one has cleaned it.

Looking up, there was an ordinary plywood door in front of me. I pushed it gently with my hands, but it didn't seem to be particularly strong.

In addition to a bare shelf bed, there is also a locked toilet in the room.

A strange white number 7 is written on the wall next to the toilet. The number is circled red, and there is a line of small words that are twisted and obliquely next to it.

‘If you want to survive, find a way to get out of here!’

For some reason, the man seemed to read the deep fear of the writer from this line of small words.

"What the hell is this place? Why am I here?"

The man lost his memory and even forgot his name until he saw a dusty mirror above the toilet.

I gently wiped the mirror with my hand, and I could see my appearance from the mirror in front of me.

His face was haggard and pale, with short black spiritual hair. Although it had become messy now, the almost dry blood left from his temples and blood-filled eyes made him feel even more terrifying.

All this is too weird. Why is he here? What's the blood around his temples? And who is he?

The man's head slowly lowered, and the pain behind his head seemed to have not disappeared, but the pain began to make him feel more and more awake.

Suddenly, the man saw that he was actually wearing a prison uniform.

The black and white stripes made him forget his reaction for a while and stood there for a while.

"I'm not a prisoner, right? But what's going on with the words on the wall?"

At this time, the brand that was attached to his chest attracted his attention, which made him finally know his identity.

"Player No. 7, Chen Xiao. What does it mean?"

Chen Xiao was confused, but now he seems to have finally learned something.

"Player?Game player?"

Chen Xiao slowly moved to the front of the shelf bed and sat on the lower floor.

"From the words on the brand, my name is Chen Xiao, player No. 7, which should indicate that I was involved in a game, but what kind of game needs to be knocked out and brought here?"

Chen Xiao's emotions began to collapse and he couldn't help but howl loudly at the empty surroundings.

"Is anyone? Let me out! I don't want to play games, I don't want to be a player!"

But all hysteria was futile. After a while of howling, Chen Xiao finally collapsed on the shelf beside the bed with some exhaustion.

Turning his head and looking around, Chen Xiao's gaze finally stopped on the wall.

"If you want to survive, find a way to leave here? Could it be that this is an escape game? But why is it me? What is the meaning of this game?"

The pain in the body gradually faded, and the fear of the unknown began to entrench next to Chen Xiao, making him unable to sit still and came to the wooden door.

"Isn't this door locked?" Chen Xiao slowly opened the ply door. "Oh, there is another one behind it..."

Behind the ply door, there is an iron door, and there is a four-digit password lock on the iron door, from 0 to 9.

"It seems like this is a secret room? Is the so-called game an escape room?"

As if he had discovered the secret of the environment he was in, Chen Xiao began to actively look for clues. Even though his mind was still a little confused, he no longer had the panic and fear he had before, and replaced it with absolute calmness and even some excitement.

He didn't know why his emotions changed so quickly, which was no longer important to him. The most important thing now is to leave this ghost place.

"Generally, there will be certain clues to follow up in the escape room, and players will not be confused. However, there is no trace on the password lock, and it may even be deliberately cleaned up, so basically no one will find anything..."

Chen Xiao looked around the room and finally frozen on the words on the wall.

"So, the clue must be in this room, perhaps, hidden in this sentence..."

Standing up tremblingly, Chen Xiao slowly came to the wall where the words were written, and began to carefully observe the lines of words.

"There is nothing strange about the font, and the paint has dried up. Could it be a stroke?"

Chen Xiao counted the strokes of the twelve characters one by one, but found no rules, which made him a little discouraged and wanted to search elsewhere.

Suddenly, a vibration came from the ground, but he didn't care too much, but the subsequent explosion forced him to turn his head and look at the sound.

I saw that the sink that was originally locked on the toilet had exploded at this time, and the debris were flying everywhere. The most terrifying thing was that a large amount of water was gushing out from it, and in a short while, all the water in the ground accumulated.

"Damn it!"

Chen Xiao hurried to the toilet and tried to forcefully block the leak, but the water column was too big and too urgent, and there were no tools available around him, so he had no way to block it.

"What should I do? There seems to be no gap in this room, it is a sealed space..."

The danger quickly came, which also made Chen Xiao fall into pressure again. The heavy pressure of death was enough to make a person lose his calm thinking, but he surprisingly did not lose his mind, but quickly came to the password door and studied the password lock.

"There are 10,000 solutions for four-digit password locks. It is obviously impossible to try one by one, and the calligraphy and painting are obviously not right. Is it related to other things in the room?"

Chen Xiao quickly glanced at the things in the room, a double bed, a toilet, and a mirror.

"Is it related to this number? But what is the last number?"

Looking at the rising water level in the room, Chen Xiao noticed the famous brands on his body and couldn't help but shout.

"No. 7! Why didn't I expect it?!"

The water level had already reached Chen Xiao's waist. After taking the password lock, he hurriedly tried several combinations of the four numbers, but the opposite was that the password lock was not opened.

The sound of water was endless, which made Chen Xiao, who should have been excited, become nervous again.

The water level is slowly rising, and the password lock is no longer over. Chen Xiao's height is not enough to support him to stand steadily in the room. He can only become floating, thinking about the password while stabilizing his body.

Four-digit password...

Twelve words...

Player No. 7...

"What is the password?!"

Chen Xiao's head began to hurt again, but this time it was not because of external wounds, but because of internal entanglement.

But time does not wait for people. When facing real death, it will always stimulate the potential of some people, and so does Chen Xiao.

"Calm down, Chen Xiao, you have to calm down. The more anxious you are at this time, the more you will be, the more you will never think of a way out..."

Chen Xiao stroked his hands on the water so that he would not drown in the water, and looked around at everything in the room again.

"Since the number of items is wrong, the clue can only exist in those twelve words. Could it be 1207?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao plunged into the water and swam quickly to the password lock, and tried the password.

But what surprised him was that the password was still wrong, which made him very puzzled.

"There are only these things in the room. If this is not a password, what details are there?"

The sprayed water had filled the room, and Chen Xiao was already completely submerged and was holding his breath, but his mind was still very clear, his eyes were staring at the words on the wall, and he was silently reading those words in his heart.

"The total number of words is wrong...but there are no punctuation marks. Could it be that there is a problem with the logic?"

Two minutes have passed since the water flooded the room. If an adult male does not train frequently, he can hold it in at most about five minutes. Chen Xiao’s current situation is the same.

The long-term breathing made his brain gradually become drowsy, and coupled with the pressure of the password lock, he became even more uneasy.

"There is no time..." Chen Xiao swam to the iron gate with difficulty, picked up the password lock, and kept thinking in his mind.

"If you want to survive... just find a way to leave here..." Chen Xiao spitted out a bubble. "It's not the total number, is it a sentence?"

Chen Xiao slowly lifted the password lock, and his eyesight in the water was much weaker than those outside, and his movements were much slower.

“4...8...0..."

Just as he was about to press the last number, a sudden vibration in the room. Although the room was filled with water, Chen Xiao still hit the door, unable to hold it in one breath and choked on it.

Although this is just a sip of water, it may kill someone.

“7!”
