Chapter 62: Before dawn (1)

After a short six-hour break, Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo stepped into the e-zone.
Upgrading is a very simple matter. As long as the player saves enough points, the upgrade is automatically completed the moment you enter the advanced zone. From this moment on, the two houses on East Cross Street no longer belong to Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo. If they want to continue to live in Yongye City, they need to re-rent the house.
Yes, rent a house.
Yongye City only allocates housing for new players entering the city for the first time. In addition, everyone needs to find a house and pay the rent with points. The same is true of Jin Cheng's villa in Area A.
However, the two were not in a hurry to rent a house. After the Da Ladi swept through the city in Area e, they again met Wen Xiaoming's Ruby Tavern in Area e.
Wen Xiaoming brought the items needed to trigger the special copy, as well as the latest information from Lin Yandong, "I heard this copy is very complicated, it can't be solved by force alone, and the triggered item turned out to be a lighter . An ordinary lighter worth 50,000 yuan sold in the official store of Yongye City."
Jin Cheng said, "It's not surprising that most of the trigger items are all accessible to all players. How many have you brought?"
Wen Xiaoming prepared two for each of them, well prepared.
The name of this copy is "Before Dawn", which is similar to "The Wind and Snow Return to the People" that Tang Cuo encountered for the first time. "The Wind and Snow Return to the People" belongs to the series of tasks "Blizzard Mountain Villa", while "Before Dawn" is Belongs to "escape room".
Wen Xiaoming said, his face could not help but dignified, "According to intelligence, the copy is from the Republic of China background, requiring players to escape from a place called the mansion before dawn, but the time and space inside seem to be chaotic, is the space overlapping or time shuttle I’m not sure. Moreover, there are only three people who have successfully escaped from it so far. One may be hidden in the copy, and no one can be found at all; one is entirely by luck, accidentally hitting, and even how to play the copy. I haven’t figured out. Both of them are in the e zone, and the other one who just cleared the customs is the demotion of the a zone, the puppet master Yao Qing’s associate, but since he is a competitor in the a zone, he can’t be expected to reveal anything. The news came out."
All in all, there are two words-catching blind.
Jin Cheng nodded, and he didn't expect much clues, "What about the twelve movements?"
Wen Xiaoming said, "There is a piano room inside, and some people will play "Songs of Gods, Lambs, and Crows" there. If you want to get the movement, you must enter this piano room."
"That's right." Wen Xiaoming took out a note from his pocket and handed it to them. "This is what Lin Yandong asked me to give to you, saying it might be used in the copy."
Three numbers are written on the note-062.
Is it a password or a room number?
Jin Cheng asked, "Which of the three people was the information from?"
Wen Xiaoming replied, "The one who hid, the news of the twelve movements was leaked from him at the beginning. The one who escaped luckily later also confirmed that he had heard the music."
With that said, Wen Xiaoming summarized all the intelligence collected so far and handed it to them. Although he believes in the boss's memory, his memory is not as good as bad writing. Moreover, the people brought out by Jin Cheng are always lacking in caution and thoughtfulness.
Tang Cuo took a quick glance, remembered the general content in his mind, and then handed it to Jin Cheng again.
Wen Xiaoming finally urged "Because there may be time and space overlap, players will be scattered after entering the game, and the one who escaped by chance is the order. And Rong Yi has also arrived in the e zone, you must be careful."
Tang Cuo was curious, "Rong Yi?"
Jin Cheng's friendship is puzzled, "No. d22422, the player's comprehensive strength ranking is second, and a man is two."
Tang Cuo listened to his tone and asked, "Are you okay with him?"
Jin Cheng "It seems not very good."
Tang Cuo "Who do you have a good relationship with?"
I don't think you have a good relationship with anyone.
Jin Cheng blinked and stared at him, "I have a good relationship with you."
Tangcuo was silent and speechless.
Wen Xiaoming on the opposite side looked at this, and then at that, with a curiosity and innocence. What happened between these two during the days when he was away?
He must have missed something.
After the information exchange was completed, Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo did not delay the time, and went straight to the game hall after buying the medicine. Here, they met Chi Yan who was squatting in front of the mission wall.
Chi Yan brought them copies of the information collected by An Ning. Although it basically overlaps with Wen Xiaoming, it is useless, but fortunately it is a part of it.
"Brother, you must be careful. I heard that few of them went out alive, so terrible." Chi Yan was very worried, but he was afraid to let him make a copy.
At the end, he took out an amulet from his body and handed it to Tang Cuo, "Brother, I asked for it from the temple. Take it with you, maybe you can have a good luck halo!"
Tangcuo "Temple?"
Chi Yan "Yes, the temple in the copy, I went into the copy this time as a monk!"
Oh, you look pretty happy.
At this time, everyone else in the game hall noticed the arrival of Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo, and countless eyes stared at this small corner, watching their every move.
Jin Cheng embraced his arms, chuckled, and then said to Chi Yan, "Go back and find Anning immediately after going out. Don't come out late and don't ask anything."
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and looked around with his feet, and he threw out his tongue ghostly. He just squatted here for a long time, and no one took care of him.
"Then I'll go back first, brother, Cheng." Chi Yan left, and after taking a few copies with Anning, he looked much better and flew around the crowd like a fish.
Halfway through, Tang Cuo saw him turn back and waved at them vigorously, looking at the mouth like saying "Come on!"
After Chi Yan's figure completely disappeared into the line of sight, Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo looked at each other, and turned around calmly and stepped into the mission wall. In the crowd, a few people walked out quietly and entered while the others around were not paying attention.
"Ding--"
"Special mission items are detected, congratulations to the player to trigger a series of missions to escape the room "before dawn". There are six players in this round of the game, the goal-to escape from the mansion before dawn."
"Wish you a happy life!"
The system's broadcast came so fast, almost immediately after Tangcuo entered the mission wall, Tangcuo could not help raising his eyebrows slightly. To know that when he first triggered "Snow and Snow", he waited for five minutes.
Are there really so many people rushing into the copy? Or did someone stare at them and wait for them to enter together?
Tang Cuo leaned towards the latter.
What's important is that Tang Cuo has left the order.
He looked around and found himself standing in an old attic. The attic is not low, and a small incandescent lamp hangs from the top beam to barely light the room. The corner on the west side is full of wooden boxes, while on the east side is a simple wooden bed next to the window, and the messy little coffee tables and so on.
The window is a beautiful flower window made of stained glass. Through the window, you can find that it is dark outside. I don't know the specific points for the time being. And the windows can't be opened.
Tang Cuo picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it over. The tea cup shattered into a few petals, and the window was still.
That's what the system seals, which means that the road doesn't work.
Another door in the attic leads downstairs, but the door is locked with a bolt. Not only that, Tang Cuo also saw through the door slit that there were several layers of iron chains wrapped around the door, and at least three locks were tied.
The loft is clearly home to people, so he (she) is kept here.
Tang Cuo turned to continue the search.
There is also a chest of drawers near the wall of the room. When the drawers are opened, the men's clothes are all in sight, and the materials and workmanship are good. Tang Cuo opened the cabinet and turned over the wooden box. Ten minutes later, he came to a rough conclusion--
Male, about twenty or thirty years old, with a height of 175 and a shoe size of 40.
Tang Cuo picked up a piece of hair from the ground and by the pillow, short black hair, slightly curled. I glanced at the pen and paper on the coffee table, and then looked at the enamel cup and toothbrush placed by the window-left-handed.
Yu Gongguan means that this is a big family. This man can write, and there are even English books in the house. Even if it is not the host’s, at least it will not be a servant.
Tang Cuo even found a handwritten sheet music in a pile of books in the corner. The sheet music was not written, but the handwriting should be the same person as the attic resident.
Sheet music, piano room, twelve movements?
Tang Cuo felt that he should first explore the location of the piano room, but how did he go out? This task allowed them to escape from the house before dawn. Since the windows cannot go, they must go downstairs.
The door is locked from the outside, that is to say, there are other players downstairs who can help unlock the lock, or violently destroy it.
The secret room escaped the copy, I am afraid that the latter will not be allowed.
Tang Cuo tried it with a practical spirit, and sure enough, the door could not be destroyed at all. But Tangcuo had been in the copy for fifteen minutes. If it was Jin Cheng downstairs, he should have found it.
Mostly others.
"Huh." Tang Cuo rarely expressed dissatisfaction with the system. But he didn't miss Jin Cheng, but worried that other players were malicious and wouldn't open the door.
Then he could only wait for Jin Cheng to break through many obstacles and come to the hero to save the beauty.
and many more.
What the am I thinking?
Tang Cuo felt that he had been with Jin Cheng for a long time, and his brain began to have problems. It may also be that Jin Cheng’s peacock opened the screen. The beautiful colors blinded the eyes. They all said that the eyes were the windows of the soul, so his mind was polluted.
Being bored, Tangcuo sat down on the bed and began to play with the radio at the head of the bed. This radio is still very new, the earliest style, and according to the time when the radio was introduced to China, it should be after 1923 or 1924.
The publication years of those books just now coincide with it. The latest book published was 1922.
Unfortunately, the radio cannot be used.
Tang Cuo put the radio back in place. Yu Guang glanced at the ink on the table and frowned suddenly. There are two bottles of ink on the table, one black and one red.
But Tang Cuo only saw black pen writing, and the red ink clearly used two thirds, where did it go?
Tang Cuo looked at the attic again.
He could turn over the cabinets and wooden boxes that he could find, and read the corners and corners carefully. The only thing left was the bottom of the bed. He just bent over and glanced. The lights in the room were not bright enough. When he saw nothing under the bed, he looked away.
Thinking about this, he looked back again—it seemed like something was written on the bed, which was red. Because the light is very dark, it looks like a dark red.
Tang Cuo dug into the bottom of the bed decisively, looking up lying on his back, the sight was surprising.
It was countless red "positive" characters, from the earliest dark red that had been covered by dust to looking at the fresh red that was still fresh, and counted countless days and nights in one stroke.
After roughly counting, there are probably more than thirty, which is converted into time, which is about half a year.
In other words, were the attic guests locked in here six months ago?
It was at this moment that sudden footsteps interrupted Tang Cuo's thinking. He listened attentively, it should have come from the stairs, far and near.
But for a moment, the chain outside the door was pulled.
"Is anyone in there?" The voice of a young man was full of temptation and alertness.
Tang Cuo did not answer.
"Don't pretend, I heard it below. Are you a player? I am also a player and we are companions. Now there are only two of us in the whole house. I unlock the lock and let you out. You promise not to do it. How? "
Tang Cuo still didn't answer. He found that the bed was a good hiding place, so he simply lay still. He had to wait for the man outside to open the door by himself.
This is not a role-playing copy, and their dress has not changed. As soon as the man came in, Tang Cuo could immediately tell whether he was a player or an nc.
After waiting for five minutes, there was finally a movement to unlock the door. There was no way for that person. He was the only person in the whole house, not even a ghost.
He opened the door while observing the situation in the room through the door, looking alert, and tentatively speaking, "I can open it, you must not hide behind the door and attack me. I know you must have come for the twelve movements, But we are now a grasshopper tethered to a rope. The twelve movements haven't appeared yet. It's no good for anyone if we fight each other."
Tang Cuo basically agreed with him, but did not want to develop teammate love with him.
Those who can break the copy and grab the twelve movements at this time are either Rong Yi's powerful individuals who don't care about teaming or not, or they are relatives and friends.
There are a total of six players in this game, and there are four others except Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng. The man outside the door can hear the footsteps and hear how terrible it is, and there must be teammates.
The man said that he could not get a reply for a long time, and the doubts in his heart had piled up. But he boldly opened the door, clenched his arms, and walked in carefully.
no one?
He was stunned, but there was no half figure on the left and right, and just when he walked in a few steps, just about to speak again, he noticed something moving behind him.
Looking back suddenly, the swarthy muzzle was facing him.
"Player?" Tang Cuo was expressionless.
"It's true!" The man nodded immediately, a drop of cold sweat almost slipped from the temple.
"Why follow up with us?"
"What are you talking about?"
The man laughed, but Tang Cuo's eyes were cold, and his black and white eyes seemed to see through his heart. But the men were really not malicious. They wanted to get the music and didn’t want to die in the copy, so they found a compromise—enter Jin Jin and Tang Cuo and hug their thighs.
They unanimously believe that if these two big brothers, at least not in the copy of their teammates. This is why he dared to open the door when he decided that the opponent was not his original teammate.
But now it seems that this big guy is a bit different from what they think.
In the next moment, Tang Cuo did something more stunned him. He took a brown pill from his trench coat pocket and tossed it, coldly "eat it."
The man caught, "What is this?"
"Poison with delayed onset, as long as you obey obediently, you won't die."
"You, you forced me to take poison and medicine?"
"You can also choose to die now."
"you!"
The man was in a hurry, because he could clearly feel the killing intention in Tang Cuo's eyes, and Tang Cuo's finger had already pulled the trigger.
With just one shot, he may be able to blow off his head, but can he escape?
This is the man next to the famous Jin Cheng!
The man began to be afraid, and Tangcuo's eyes were so subconscious that he wanted to retreat. But he was in a dilemma, the air around him was almost frozen, his ears were full of his heartbeat and heavier breathing.
"Three." Tang Cuo began to count down.
"two."
"I eat! I'll eat the head office!" The man swept his heart and swallowed the pill with his mouth open. He didn't even taste anything. After Tang Cuo put the gun down, he finally relieved his breath, and then stared at him fiercely, regretting that his intestines were green.
This big brother is not only a little different from what they think, it is completely different!
And if Jin Cheng is here, he must be able to see that the pill just now was Tang Cuo's chocolate bean. It's sweet, but it's quite brittle after a bite.
