"What is it?"
Xiaotuanzi craned her neck to take a look at the contents of the three scripts.
The words on these three scripts were exactly the same.
There were only a few lines.
It read: You are a villager. Please explore the rest on your own.
Task objective: Please find it on your own.
Silence is tonight's Cambridge.
So, apart from an identity, they were given nothing?
And all three of them had the same identity!
"The last time I came here, it was a script about a medieval count. That's why the decoration here looks a bit like ancient European style. This place was originally intended to be a diversified entertainment venue where people could hold parties, role - play, and play board games. A villager has nothing to do with this kind of setting," Luo Wuyou was getting more and more confused.
It was a place he had been to just some time ago, but now it seemed extremely strange to him.
"Who cares? Anyway, the first step is to solve the puzzle and get out of this room, right?"
Shen Weixun casually threw the identity card aside.
For now, the so - called role - playing seemed less important.
What was more important was to leave this room.
"Yes, we have to get out first and look for other clues."
Luo Wuyou nodded blankly.
Shen Weixun turned to Niannian, raised his eyebrows slightly, and instructed Xiaotuanzi, "Baby, find all the things you think are useful."
Xiaotuanzi's intuition was much sharper than ordinary people's.
When they were searching without a clue, everything would seem like a clue.
But if Xiaotuanzi went to look, she just needed to trust her sixth sense and could accurately find what they needed.
Upon receiving the order, Niannian immediately took action.
She rummaged through the room for more than half an hour, turning out all the odds and ends in the room and throwing them on the bed.
Looking at the mess in the room, Luo Wuyou had a clearer understanding of Niannian's destructive power.
Ha...
This didn't seem like looking for clues. It was more like wrecking the house!
How come he never noticed that the little master had the characteristics of a husky before?
Niannian had turned out all the things she could find. She casually picked up a locked box and handed it to Shen Weixun.
Obviously, what she meant was that she thought this thing was the most useful now.
The box had a combination lock with a four - digit password.
The password must be hidden in the room, probably related to the decorations or items with words or numbers.
Shen Weixun looked around and his eyes fell on the bookshelf beside him.
The books on the bookshelf were neatly arranged, most with English covers.
He walked over and casually pulled out a relatively thick book. When he picked it up, it weighed nothing.
It was just a shell.
He opened the cover and there was a small note inside, which said a single word "find".
With such an obvious clue in front of him, Shen Weixun stuffed the note into his pocket and started rummaging through all the books on the bookshelf.
Finally, he found a total of four books.
The words on them together read: Find the curse.
"Find the curse?"
When the four notes were put together, Xiaotuanzi immediately perked up.
She had come into contact with too many curses during this period, so she subconsciously thought of the Holy Cult.
She looked around, shaking her head and trying to find traces of the Holy Cult.
"This should be related to the password for unlocking. The last book found is called *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*, which is translated as *The Hunchback of Notre Dame* in Chinese."
"The other three books are *The Three Musketeers*, *Letter from an Unknown Woman*, and *1984*. Arranged according to the corresponding characters, the password should be 1381."
As an experienced escape - room player, Luo Wuyou's mind worked very fast when it came to solving puzzles.
This password wasn't too difficult. After guessing a set of numbers, he gave it a try.
Sure enough, the lock of the box opened with a click.
He lifted the lid and there was a letter and a key lying inside.
This key should be for this room. Luo Wuyou didn't rush to open the door. Instead, he picked up the envelope, opened it, and read it. The letter was very short, only two sentences.
"Do you believe there are gods in this world? As long as you believe in the existence of gods and find them, you can walk out safely."
"But the gods are crying and angry. You have to find out the reason and go looking for them with the story. Otherwise, the gods will turn into demons and devour everything about you."
The words on the letter were very confusing. With just these two sentences, it was really hard to guess anything.
Luo Wuyou simply ignored it. He casually stuffed the envelope into his pocket, picked up the key, and walked to the door. Just as he was about to insert it, he saw that the keyhole on the doorknob was in the shape of a cross, while the key in his hand was flat and in the shape of a line.
"This key is wrong. The door has a cross - shaped lock," Luo Wuyou turned back and shrugged.
He knew that things couldn't be that simple.
"Let's look for other locked boxes," Shen Weixun wasn't surprised that they couldn't open the door.
If it was really that simple, this escape room would seem too stupid.
The three of them walked around the room several times. All the locked things in the room were already open. There was nowhere else to insert the key.
Niannian straightened up, scratched her head, and after looking around, her eyes stopped on the bathroom door.
Sure enough, there was a cabinet door locked under the sink in the bathroom, and the keyhole fit the key in her hand.
Niannian took out the key and opened the cabinet door. Inside was a fairy - tale book: *The Little Mermaid*.
Unlike the book shells on the bookshelf, this was a real storybook. Niannian rummaged through the bathroom for a long time, but apart from the necessary toiletries, there was nothing else.
"There's a cabinet in the bathroom. I opened it with that key. There's only this book inside. There's nothing else," Niannian handed the book to Shen Weixun. This fairy - tale book was really beyond her knowledge.
After all, Xiaotuanzi had fallen asleep listening to the *Tao Te Ching* during her childhood.
"The Little Mermaid?"
Shen Weixun flipped through it casually. It was just a normal storybook.
The clue was broken again. After searching around, they only found a useless book.
Niannian wasn't good at solving puzzles at all. After giving the book to Shen Weixun, she went to look for other things on her own.
When she passed by a vase, she stuck out her little bottom, and the shelf holding the vase shook.
The vase on it fell to the ground with a loud crash.
"Niannian!"
Shen Weixun was startled. He quickly put down the things in his hand, rushed to Niannian, and picked up the little girl.
There were pieces of broken porcelain on the ground. It would be bad if she got hurt.
Luo Wuyou also rushed over when he heard the sound. When he saw the broken pieces of the vase on the ground, he was overjoyed.
"Found it! This is a cross - shaped key!"
