"I...I try?"
Hui Yuan Ai's throat rolled.
"Yes. Try it first."
As soon as Ye Geng opened the operation panel of the Neuro-Somatosensory Device, he did some operations, and at the same time said in a comforting tone:
"Don't be nervous. For you, it doesn't matter if you take a few days off from elementary school classes."
Still asking for leave? ? ?
Could it be that this person has already figured out what he is going to encounter...
"……for this I……"
Hui Yuan Ai's lips moved, but she couldn't say her regretful words.
If I give up this time, how can I have the dignity to persuade this person again in the future?
"Do not worry."
Ye Gengyi satisfied his bad taste and stopped scaring the girl, explaining:
"Although your IQ certainly meets the basic conditions for neurons, this alone is not enough. If you want to help me build that new world, you need at least both mental and emotional stability. Otherwise, entering it will not be creation but destruction."
Ha, ha ha... I was not comforted...
There was a hint of determination in Hui Yuan Ai's expression:
"Having said all that, what exactly will you see after putting it on?"
She decided to give it a try anyway.
Although she was scared, after experiencing so much, she now believed that Ye Gengyi could not harm her.
Ye Gengyi explained simply: "To put it simply, it's an escape room."
It's much simpler than the 'easy to understand' one...
Haiyuan cursed sadly and asked:
"That is... a game?"
"It's almost the same, but it's not available on the market. I added a lot of visual and sensory elements to it."
Ye Gengyi might as well explain a few more words.
After all, his purpose was to test, not to scare the loli in front of him into a delirious little melon.
and……
Ye Gengyi said silently to himself:
"If this girl can really pass several rounds of mental tests and meet the conditions to enter the zero-day world, why not have someone help her?"
"I always feel like I've been tricked by you again..."
Haiyuan snorted sadly.
But after all, she is also a scientist and has a curiosity about unknown things.
"I'm ready, when do we start?"
"No rush," Ye Gengyi was as calm as ever: "You just drank a cup of coffee. I suggest you go to the bathroom first before trying it."
Do you think you will wet your pants like Edogawa? Well……
This idea popped into his mind subconsciously, and then Haihara Ai was startled, and then suddenly realized that he had heard too many similar rumors in school today, and he almost thought that Edogawa peed his pants.
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to neglect and hurried to the bathroom to deal with her next personal problem.
Return to the living room again.
Ye Gengyi has already set the parameters of the neuro-somatosensory device and said:
"Okay, if you have no other questions, let's get started."
Even if there is, it's already too late...
Haihara Ai felt that she had been trapped in someone's routine and couldn't extricate herself, so she walked to the sofa:
"how to do?"
"Sit down first."
Ye Gengyi directed Hui Yuan Ai to sit on the sofa and put the neurosensory device on the opponent's head.
…
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice echoed in my ears.
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly opened his eyes.
Stars twinkled in the dark curtain-like night sky, and light reflected from the cobweb-covered window into the room with no other light source.
Where am I...
With a hint of fear and confusion that a normal person should have, Hui Yuan Ai rolled and sat up from the bed.
She looked down at her body, wearing a new white cotton kimono with a short gauze belt tied around her chest.
This outfit that looked like a burial suit made her feel a little weird.
Huh?
Wait...the size of this outfit...
Hui Yuan Ai stretched out his hands and touched his face.
It was an unfamiliar face, with a sharp nose and sunken eye sockets. When the palm of your hand touched your cheek, you felt an indescribable stickiness...
She was so frightened that she retracted her hand and looked around, trying to find a clue, a hint of familiarity.
However, there is no...
If it weren't for the 'cocoon' experience, Haiyuan Ai probably wouldn't have thought it was a game, but a 'new world' as Ye Gengyi said...
Her eyes fell on the support beneath her.
It was a bed that felt very hard, and a piece of pure white quilt not only had no trace of beauty under the starlight, it actually looked particularly scary.
By the way... Brother Gengyi said this was an escape room, so he was in a cell?
As if in response to this awakening...
A strong uneasiness suddenly surged in Haihara Ai's heart, and she felt as if something was quietly approaching her.
Rustling... rustling...
Something seemed to be moving in the darkness.
Although Haibara Ai kept telling herself that this was just a game, the instinctive reaction from her body still made her swallow nervously.
No, something must be done!
Feel the ever-increasing heartbeat.
Hui Yuan Ai gritted her teeth hard and forced herself to calm down.
Outside the window, the stars in the night sky were still twinkling.
With this faint light, Hui Yuan Ai, who controlled an adult's body, rolled out of bed, and then found a square box wrapped in white cloth in the grid under the bed board.
A strange 'rustling' sound filled the room.
No way……
For a moment, Haihara Ai felt that based on someone's bad taste, there was a high possibility that this contained some gray-white powder.
do not care!
The rustling sounds are getting closer and closer, and the only area illuminated by starlight is around this bed...
Haiyuan Ai opened it decisively, and as expected saw a box full of off-white powder.
"...Phew, I don't know why I'm not so nervous all of a sudden..."
She vomited and was about to put the box down and continue looking for tools and items to help her escape from here.
The wrist was slightly tilted, and a sharp-looking folding saw and a piece of paper were revealed in the off-white powder of the box.
It’s a tip!
Hui Yuan Ai hurriedly took out the things and saw the note saying:
[Two minutes left...good luck. 】
It's a tip indeed, but...
Hui Yuan Ai felt that she could no longer complain.
There was a saw, and there was a window covered with cobwebs and messy wooden bars diagonally above the bed. It seemed that there was no need to choose anymore.
She jumped onto the bed board.
Sure enough, this adult body could just reach the window by standing on tiptoes.
Haihara Ai immediately started cutting the wood with a saw, trying to create an exit large enough for her to escape.
Chi chi chi - rustle rustle......
Finally, after cutting another wooden bar, the window was big enough for her to escape.
Hui Yuan Ai jumped into it. When she looked around to see the environment clearly, she realized that what was under the starlight was not the free outdoors, but another cell with a larger space.
Just when she was wondering if she was going the wrong way.
Suddenly, a clearer 'rustling' sound came from in front of him.
Hui Yuan Ai came back to her senses in shock, only to see a figure whose face could not be seen clearly due to the backlight, approaching her with a saw.
"Who are you?"
Hui Yuan Ai asked subconsciously.
The figure didn't answer. After a brief pause, he accelerated towards her.
? ! ? !
Hui Yuan Ai was startled, turned around and ran towards the thicker darkness, trying to escape the other party's pursuit.
However, the figure followed closely from beginning to end, and the saw continued to make strange yet familiar sounds as it dragged on the floor:
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...
