"If I remember correctly, during the last game, all items in the game scene except sticky notes were rigid bodies and could not be destroyed.
"But this time, you see, I can actually carve scratches on the table with my nails."
The two tried it, and it was true. The tabletop is very hard, but they can carve light, visible scratches with their fingernails.
"But what's the use?"
Li Huo spread his hands and asked helplessly.
"This shows that this room can be destroyed. As long as we can destroy the structure of the house blocking us, we can leave."
"Sabotage? Instead of looking for clues? Are you sure?"
Li Huo prefers to look for clues patiently. The nightmare of being stuck in the game last time left him with lingering fears.
He wasn't sure if something weirder and scarier could happen by blatantly destroying scenes in the game.
"At least it can be considered as a guarantee? We can take a multi-pronged approach.
"On the one hand, we are looking for clues to crack the secret room. On the other hand, if we really can't find it, we can also try to violently destroy the house."
Following the steps set by the game organizer to decrypt it honestly made Meng Fei feel even more foolish.
Because everything is designed by game designers behind the scenes. But the designers clearly had no good intentions towards them.
It would be foolish to follow the rules of a game if the game itself is stacked against them.
"Brothers, I have made a great discovery."
An Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, the despair on his face had been wiped away, and he spoke to Li Huo and Meng Fei with a cheerful face.
"What major discovery?" Li Huo asked.
"I discovered that powers can be used here!"
As he spoke, An Sheng stood up. Weird spatial fluctuations began to surround him. The muscles on his body bulged. Even under a standard professional suit, you could see quite powerful lines.
boom!
After saying that, he punched the table hard.
However, although his punch was powerful, its effect was average.
The table did not have a big hole as he expected, but a slightly dented punch mark half a millimeter deep. Some paint fell off the edge of the punch mark, revealing the silver metal material inside.
On the contrary, Mr. An covered his fists and jumped up:
"Fuck, it hurts me so much!"
The family's superpower only brought physical strength to Ansheng, but it did not relieve the pain.
Beside the dense forest reservoir, he could take many rounds of heavy machine gun bullets without screaming. It was not because he didn't feel pain, but he just didn't have time to scream.
Li Huo scratched at the traces of paint peeling, then knocked again, and said, "This table is made of solid homogeneous chromium-manganese armor steel."
"Sick? Why does a table need to be made of steel?"
An Sheng cursed.
"etc."
Meng Fei went up and touched it. He felt that these steel materials were no different from the iron plates he had seen.
"Director Li, how can you identify these steel materials?"
"Before I joined the Special Abilities Department, I was doing research on armor materials in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War. I was transferred to the Special Abilities Department because I have super powers."
What surprised Meng Fei was not that Li Huan could understand metal.
He was surprised that this game was so real? Can you even tell the difference between ordinary steel plates and armor steel?
After some knocking and searching, Li Huo confirmed a fact.
The entire game scene, including walls, floors, and doors, is almost entirely made of armored steel.
Tables and chairs are not removable. They are welded to the ground.
All rooms were searched, but they couldn't find any clues or props. Except for the brick-shaped alarm clock on the living room table, there was nothing moving.
Since there are no clues and no props, there is no conventional way to escape from the secret room.
Then all that is left is reliance on violence. AXA is gearing up and eager to give it a try.
Even if you have to use violence, you still have to choose the right target. They want to get out, and it's obviously not a good idea to go through a wall that has no idea how thick it is.
From a normal perspective, they should try to destroy either the door or the window. But all the doors in this living room lead to eight rooms, and there are no external doors.
Then only the window in the room is their only target.
Choose any room and open the door. The light from the large ceiling lamp in the living room illuminates the dark small room brightly.
But the window to the outside in the room was still dark, and the light could not penetrate at all, like a dark curtain.
Unlike the last time the door closed and locked automatically in the game, the door that was opened this time did not close automatically. So the three of them could all squeeze into the small room.
Meng Fei put his finger on the window glass. Through the image of his finger reflected in the glass, he could estimate the thickness of the glass to be about one centimeter.
Outside it was as dark as thick ink, and it was impossible to see anything. With my ears pressed against the glass, all I heard was dead silence.
"Let me just smash this broken window out!"
Although he said it carelessly, Ansheng still put some thought into it this time. He did not directly smash the window with his fist, but picked up the brick-shaped alarm clock he took from the living room table and smashed it.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After a series of smashings, the window glass was intact, and the violent look on Mr. An's face gradually turned into depression.
"etc!"
Although the window glass was not broken, Meng Fei seemed to hear some kind of change.
There was a ticking sound on An Sheng's hand.
Li Huo took the alarm clock from An Sheng's hand and found to his surprise that the alarm clock was no longer stationary, but started to move.
It's 8:13pm.
The alarm was automatically set to eight forty-three.
"No, the time limit has started!"
Li Huo walked back to the living room and looked at the wall. Sure enough, the big alarm clock on the wall in the living room also started running with the same setting.
Both Li Huo and Meng Fei suddenly felt that the rope around their necks was getting tighter and tighter.
The game's prompt for clearance is: "The theme of this game is escape from the escape room. If all players are alive and leave this scene within the limited time, you can clear the level."
For a limited time! Although they knew the game had a time limit from the beginning, they didn't know what the time limit was.
Therefore, they can only actively seize the time to search for props and find exits. But there’s no sense of urgency as there’s a countdown.
It's different now, they only have half an hour left!
What happens if you haven’t cleared the level when the time is up?
Exit the game directly? Everyone dies instantly? Or are you stuck here forever? No one can know.
"But this shows that our thinking is right."
In the chaos, Meng Fei was the first to calm down and take control of the situation.
“When players first enter the game, it may take some time to adapt to the mentality, search the room, etc.
“If the time is limited from the beginning, it may cause players to panic and make it difficult to get started. The game experience will be poor.
"So they made a setting where the countdown starts from the first correct move detected by the player?"
