Cross the street and take the elevator upstairs.

Shen Siyi took Zhang Jin to the door of the secret room with ease, and held out a V sign to the staff: "Trouble, two of us are playing a little girl's nightmare secret room."

While Zhang Jin was queuing up to pay, she took a look at the secret room called "True Name".

With its quirky name and quirky decoration style, it looks less like a secret room theme store and more like a coffee and leisure reading shop.

Although the appearance gives people an unreliable feeling, the business of this store is still very good.

Zhang Jin heard that these customers who were coming out or waiting were discussing the contents of the secret room. Many of them should be repeat customers. Listening to their chats, it was obvious that they were not the kind of people the store hired to pretend to be lively.

From the chats of these guests, Zhang Jin heard no less than three secret room themes, and all of them were different from the "little girl's nightmare" secret room he was about to enter, which surprised him.

Is there no one playing in this secret room?

Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Siyi beside him had already completed the payment and reserved the secret room with the store. She turned around and patted him: "It's done, we can go in and experience it soon!"

Looking at Shen Shenyi who was looking forward to and excited, Zhang Jin couldn't help but curiously asked: "Can you enter the secret room so soon? Aren't there other guests queuing up?"

"They are not playing in the secret room we are playing in." Shen Siyi replied without thinking.

"How do you know?"

Shen Siyi couldn't help laughing: "Because we don't have to wait! How could you ask such a stupid question?"

Zhang Jin also laughed at her answer, holding his forehead and laughing at himself: "Haha, I didn't think about it for a while. But I am a little curious, why is no one playing in this secret room?"

"I don't know, maybe they find it boring?" Shen Siyi shook her head.

At this time, the store staff came over and informed the two of them: "Please let the two players come with me to choose their characters and change their clothes. After changing their clothes, you can enter the secret room to experience it."

"Do you want to change clothes?" Zhang Jin has never played a physical escape room, but has only played many games of the same type.

The staff member smiled and replied: "Yes, in order to increase the player's sense of immersion and experience."

The two came to the clothing room next to it. There are four roles that the little girl can play in this nightmare secret room, namely brother, sister, classmate and reporter.

"You can choose whatever you want. There will be different clues for different roles, which is very interesting." Shen Siyi said.

Zhang Jin didn't think too much and chose the identity of a reporter at random, while Shen Siyi chose the identity of her sister without hesitation.

Not long after, both of them changed their clothes and looked like they were dressed at the end of the last century.

Zhang Jin also held an old-fashioned camera in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he discovered that it was not a prop but a real camera.

He was a little surprised and said: "This secret room still uses the truth machine as a prop?"

Shen Siyi explained: "It will be useful in the secret room. Last time my colleague and I came to play, she said that we need to take pictures in a certain room to find clues."

Zhang Jin suddenly nodded, thinking that the secret room of this store looked quite thoughtful.

After waiting for a while, the staff took the two people who had changed their clothes to the entrance of the secret room and began to tell them the precautions of the secret room and the story background of the secret room.

As the name suggests, this secret room is a nightmare that the little girl had. In order to help the little girl who is troubled by nightmares every day get out of the sea of ​​suffering, the little girl's brother, sister, and classmates plan to use dream therapy to enter the little girl's dream to find a way to relieve the nightmare. And A reporter who has been reporting on this dream therapy for a long time also entered the nightmare with his permission.

What the four people need to do is to find the source of the nightmare and solve it so that the little girl will no longer be troubled by nightmares.

"In order for players to have a better experience in the secret room, we will have real-life NPCs to interact with you. Real-life NPCs will not be aggressive, and players are asked not to attack real-life NPCs. Once discovered, the secret room game will be stopped immediately.

At the same time, our secret room also has a time limit. The normal process of the secret room takes forty minutes. If the player cannot come out within an hour, it means that the player has failed to explore, and the staff will end the secret room and take the player out."

The rules of the secret room were similar. After hearing this, Zhang Jin and Shen Siyi said they would abide by the rules. The staff then opened the door to the entrance of the secret room and motioned for them to enter.

Zhang Jing was about to go in, but saw that Shen Siyi had already rushed in with quick steps. He couldn't help but want to laugh. How much did the other party want to play in this secret room?

The first room in the secret room is not dark. It looks like a clinic at night. There are hospital beds, white screen curtains, information cabinets, office desks and reception sofas. There is also a man wearing a shirt and a suit vest standing there. .

Seeing the two people coming in, the man said with a serious expression: "Are you ready? Xiaoxu's condition is getting worse and worse, and we must find a solution quickly."

"Ready, doctor!" Shen Siyi nodded.

With an experienced person leading him, Zhang Jin was happy and free, just following the other person to help him.

The doctor nodded and pointed to the two gurneys next to him: "Then please put on your blindfolds and lie on the hospital bed. I will hypnotize you into a dream and let you enter Xiaoxu's nightmare to help her get out of trouble."

Zhang Jin and Shen Siyi did what the doctor asked.

"Very good, now you have entered hypnosis and will soon enter Xiaoxu's dream. When you hear my voice, you can take off the blindfold."

As the doctor finished speaking, Zhang Jin felt his gurney being pushed, and there was also the sound of rollers on another gurney next to him. It seemed that the staff were helping them enter other secret rooms.

About half a minute later, he heard the doctor's voice on the radio: "Okay, you can take off your blindfolds now and complete your mission."

Zhang Jin took off his blindfold, stood up from the gurney, looked around, and found that he was in a small, completely black room with a glistening green light, which was a bit weird and miserable!

Next to her, Shen Shenyi also got up and got out of bed, waving to him: "Come on, the exit of this first secret room is easy to find."

Zhang Jin watched for a while and saw Shen Siyi opening the exit of the secret room with ease.

The two of them walked out of the secret room, and the next room was the living room lit by candlelight.

"Don't look at it. There is nothing in the living room. The focus is on the other three rooms. One of them is the kitchen, which contains the props we need. The other two are a laboratory and a studio." Shen Siyi clearly commanded, " Let's go to the kitchen to get props first, then I'll go to the studio, and you'll go to the laboratory. There's nothing difficult about these two places. As long as you put the items in the right place, you can get the key to the next level, but we may have to be separated temporarily. See you in the next level.”

Zhang Jin nodded and followed Shen Siyi to the kitchen to get the props he needed - a fruit knife and a small spoon.

After getting the props, the two entered the studio and laboratory respectively.

Zhang Jin walked into the laboratory. The layout of this laboratory really looked like that. There were lit alcohol lamps on the experimental table, various test tubes and liquids in glass bottles, and guide tubes and filters on the stands.

, and the microscope next to it, etc.

He didn't care at all why the living room was connected to the laboratory. It was a nightmare anyway, no matter what you say.

The fruit knife is an important prop for the next level, and the small spoon is used in the laboratory, so how to use it? Put the objects in the correct position, what kind of objects, and what is the correct position?

Zhang Jin walked around the laboratory while observing and thinking. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by the documents on the table. He walked forward and looked through them. If there were no accidents, there should be reminders on the documents.

He picked up the file, and sure enough, it said - The experiment is almost complete. If my idea is correct, then this will be...

The content behind was difficult to discern because the handwriting was too sloppy, but Zhang Jin didn't care. He directly saw the content below this paragraph. It was a hand-drawn diagram, which seemed to be the connection style of experimental equipment.

Zhang Jin connected and installed the test tubes, pipes and brackets on the experimental table one by one according to the diagram on the document, then used a spoon to take out a spoonful of liquid from the glass bottle and put it into different test tubes, and put the unknown liquid in the test tubes in order.

Pour into a measuring cup, shake gently, and then heat with an alcohol lamp.

Under the pale light, the colorful mixed liquid in the heated measuring cup gradually turned colorless and transparent.

Zhang Jin gently fanned the liquid in the measuring cup with his hand and smelled it, using his surface detective ability to identify the chemical components. Although the liquid had a pungent smell, it was neither poisonous nor corrosive.

It is normal that there is no poison. This is just a secret room game and it is impossible for players and guests to be harmed.

After heating, a transparent liquid was obtained, but Zhang Jin didn't know where to use this small cup of liquid.

He recalled what Shen Siyi said before, "As long as you put the items in the right place, you can get the key to the next level." So he took the measuring cup and started looking for the most suitable place in the laboratory.

After carefully looking around, he quickly noticed a detail, which was the ball of waste paper in the trash can.

Anyone who has watched some mystery detective movies and cartoons will be able to think of the invisible ink that appears in them. Perhaps this transparent liquid is used to reveal handwriting.

Zhang Jin took out all the waste paper in the trash can, spread it out one by one, and then used a dropper to put a few drops of transparent liquid on each piece of paper. Finally, he found writing on one of the papers, so he put the remaining

The transparent liquid below is applied on top.

Soon, a paragraph appeared on the piece of paper——

This is a dangerous place. Fortunately, I prepared a way out. There is a secret door behind the cabinet, which leads to freedom...

"Behind the cabinet?" Zhang Jin turned his head and looked in surprise. He had checked it before, but he couldn't find any clues.

With a dubious attitude, he walked towards the cabinet where the information and glass bottles were placed, and then leaned into the gap between the cabinet and the wall to peek inside. He couldn't help but be surprised!

When I looked at it before, it was clearly a wall without any problems, but this time I looked again and a door appeared!

Is this...could it be intentional by the secret room staff?

But I really couldn’t tell there was any disguise on the wall before!

Zhang Jin was a little confused, but he didn't think too deeply. Since he could be deceived, it means that the store's secret room is really good. No wonder it attracts so many customers.

Zhang Jin moved the cabinet and secretly said that it was lucky that the cabinet came with rollers, otherwise ordinary players would not be able to move such a heavy cabinet.

After moving the cabinet, he took the fruit knife that would be used in the next level, then pushed the door and walked into the secret passage at the back. The passage behind the secret door was not long. After a few steps, he turned a corner and reached the next room.

Zhang Jin looked at the strange room in front of him. Even though he knew that the secret room was fake, he was still shocked!

The entire room was filled with colorful strings, and a rag doll hung from one end of each string. They fell from the ceiling in long and short lengths, and were densely packed, blocking most of the view in the room.

The reason why I say it is weird is because all of these dolls are strangled by the neck as if hanging, and none of the dolls is complete, either missing arms or legs, or having their stomachs disemboweled, or their mouths have xxxx patterns stitched with red thread.

Or one of the eyeballs is missing, leaving only half a thread, as if it was torn off by force.

After Zhang Jin saw the scene in the entire room, he lowered his head and looked at the fruit knife in his hand, wondering what this meant. Should he use a fruit knife to cut the rope?

Suddenly, a soft clicking sound was particularly clear in the quiet room.

It was as if the play button of an old-fashioned tape recorder was pressed, and then there was the sound of the tape spinning. After a while, a song sung by an immature girl sounded.

"...Doll, doll, my sister gave me a doll! It has long hair, a round face, and a beautiful skirt. I like it so much! Especially its beautiful and gentle eyes, it's like my sister is looking at me.

...cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck!”

I don’t know if it’s the original tune, or if the girl is singing out of tune, but it sounds very uncomfortable.

Especially at the end when the girl suddenly burst out laughing while singing, it felt like a synthetic song.

The song is not long, mainly to highlight an electric toy dog ​​slowly walking out from the corner.

Zhang Jin knelt down and picked up the electric toy dog. He saw a ball of paper stuffed in its mouth. He took it out and looked at it. On the ball of paper was written - Please help my master find her eyes.

The owner, Zhang Jin, looked in the direction where the toy dog ​​came out, and saw in the corner of the room, in the shadow of piled cartons, a figure who bent his knees and hugged his legs, burying his head between his arms, sitting quietly.

Beside the wall.

Judging from her long hair and small skirt, she should be a doll, about the same height and size as a real girl.

Zhang Jin picked up the toy dog ​​and walked to the corner, moved the cardboard box away so as not to block the light, and then reached out to lift the doll's head.

Sure enough, just like what was written in the paper ball, this doll has no eyes.

This is a large Barbie doll. Its facial features are modeled on those of a real person, with a delicate nose, delicate eyebrows, and smiling mouth. It looks perfect, but there are only two holes for the eyes, and the empty head can be seen inside.

Although there is nothing scary or bloody, just this appearance makes people feel a bit like the underworld.
