On October 1, when Zhou Luoyang woke up, he did not experience the same day again.

He looked at Du Jing who was sleeping beside him, picked up the Eye of Versetti on the bedside table, and pondered for a moment.

If the date ring is now turned counterclockwise, at twelve o'clock noon, they will go back to yesterday's twelve noon.

This is really a magical thing, what's hidden in this watch? Could it be a relic of an ancient god, or a technological product left by an alien civilization on Earth? These two guesses are enough to subvert the materialistic experience education that an ordinary person has received in his life, completely disintegrate and shatter, and reshape his worldview.

The world is not quite what I see it. Zhou Luoyang raised his eyes and pondered in the morning sunlight.

However, the study of quantum mechanics has also reshaped the physical discipline that accurately describes the material world. Compared with the law that "a photon can pass through two interference slits at the same time", the retrospect of time has also changed. It's not that hard to accept.

"Do you want to go back another day?" Du Jing asked.

"I don't want to," said Zhou Luoyang, "I've had enough, please don't mess with it again."

On this day, Du Jing drove and took the two brothers Zhou Luoyang for an outing. The sun was shining and Zhou Luoyang was in a good mood. With the reopening and relocation of the store, it was like starting a new life.

While basking in the sun on the lawn of the Summer Palace, Le Yao stared at the reflective watch on Du Jing's hand.

"I've seen this watch once," Le Yao said. "The first time I saw my grandfather, he wore it."

Du Jing was twisting the lid of the drink bottle for Le Yao, and nodded when he heard the words, but did not speak.

"Do you think he looks like grandpa?" Zhou Luoyang suddenly asked.

Du Jing: "..."

What Zhou Luoyang said naturally didn't mean Du Jing looked like an old man. In fact, the grandfather of the Zhou family was tall and handsome when he was young, and his skin was still very white. When he was young, he had an arrogant temperament, and no one looked down on him. Later, he listened to the arrangement of his family and married a lady who was a capitalist who ran a textile factory, that is, their grandmother.

As my grandfather got older, he gradually became more stable. Le Yao often heard from his father that he was beaten by his grandfather when he was a child. People are always relatives across generations, and Zhou Luoyang's grandfather also loves his grandchildren very much.

The action of unscrewing the bottle cap was done by his grandfather on the rare occasions when Le Yao saw his grandfather. At that time, he was in good health, steady and vigorous, wearing the Eye of Versailles on his wrist and wearing a suit shirt. Came to visit the youngest grandson.

He saw six-year-old Le Yao was struggling with a bottle of drink, so he carried him to his lap, unscrewed the bottle cap for him, inserted a straw, held him in one hand, and fed him the drink with the other.

This scene left a deep impression on Le Yao.

Du Jing sometimes has a defiant temperament and only cares about the people around him. In addition, even if the sky is falling and the volcano erupts, it has nothing to do with him. He is too lazy to look at everyone, and he does not care about other people's evaluations of him, and he is too lazy to even contact him. this world. In this regard, it is very similar to the style of the Zhou family's grandfather.

Du Jing took off his watch, handed it to Le Yao, got up and left.

"Did Grandpa still wear it?" Zhou Luoyang asked curiously.

"Well." Le Yao said, "Do you often spend time with grandpa?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "I was eight to fourteen years old, and he brought him up, but I hardly saw him wear this watch."

Le Yao said, "I like him very much, but unfortunately I have only seen him twice."

Zhou Luoyang pondered, once Le Yao said, and another time, his father and stepmother died in a car accident, and his grandfather went to the funeral. Since then, my grandfather's health has taken a turn for the worse. The old man couldn't bear the blow of his son's first step, and passed away after just half a year.

Le Yao stared at the watch and said, "Mom doesn't like him, and he doesn't like mom either, so we rarely see each other."

The marriage of Zhou Luoyang's parents was a family friend appointed by his grandfather. His father resisted, and he was brave and divorced to be with Le Yao's mother. Naturally, he also severely disturbed his grandfather. This is an important point of their discord between father and son.

Zhou Luoyang said, "He loves you very much."

Le Yao said, "I feel it, although he didn't say it, because I look like grandma?"

Zhou Luoyang thought about it for a while, and said, "Also...not exactly that? I don't have a deep memory of grandma, but grandpa said that you are a little like a little uncle. In Chinese kinship culture...you are grandma's youngest brother, too Grandpa raised it."

Bloodline is indeed a very magical thing. In the past, many forgotten pasts have been wonderfully connected by intergenerational inheritance.

"Don't turn the date ring," Zhou Luoyang said. "There is something wrong with the date ring of this watch. I reinforced it."

He added a metal washer to Du Jing's watch to hold the date ring, and the inner and outer rings needed to be completely closed to release it, so that he would not rotate it unconsciously or accidentally rub it against it. Zhou Luoyang plans to reinforce it after a while, so that it can be activated with a needle, which is more secure.

"I won't move it," Le Yao said, "I'll take a look."

Zhou Luoyang got up and walked over when he saw Du Jing was talking to the hawker.

"What to buy?" Zhou Luoyang said, "I have money here."

Du Jing didn't have any cash on him and said, "Buy a kite for Le Yao."

Zhou Luoyang smiled and said, "You care more about Le Yao than me."

"Because he's your younger brother," Du Jing answered in front of Zhou Luoyang, always saying whatever he wanted, "Let's rely on others, always make family relations even, and please the key people."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Zhou Luoyang accompanies his younger brother to fly a kite, and Du Jing runs with the kite outside. Today, he wears sports clothes like the boys of the basketball team who came out for an autumn tour.

Le Yao smiled and said, "He is so kind to me."

Sometimes, Zhou Luoyang couldn't take Le Yao's words at all, and he couldn't even judge whether there were other meanings in his words. It could only be attributed to the different growing environment and cultural barriers.

"Le Yao, I may not be home next weekend," Zhou Luoyang said, "but I will try to come back."

Le Yao immediately said, "No problem, I can take care of myself."

Zhou Luoyang pondered for a moment, and wanted to entrust Le Yao to his relatives' house, but the key point was that he was not familiar with his relatives. He couldn't tell whether his aunt and uncle were malicious or kind.

"Participate in Sotheby's autumn auction." Zhou Luoyang said.

Le Yao said cheerfully: "Go, business is the most important thing, is Du Jing going?"

Sotheby's only gave two invitations, and Du Jing must go. At first, Zhou Luoyang didn't have this plan, but attending the autumn auction might help the case.

"Well," Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said, "He should also go."

Le Yao asked: "Investigate the case of the missing collection? To be honest, I still think his work is very mysterious, but I haven't told anyone."

Zhou Luoyang laughed and said, "What are you thinking about in your mind?"

"I want to go to Xiao Hei's house to play." Le Yao said again.

"Who is Xiao Hei?" Zhou Luoyang asked, "A classmate?"

Le Yao has made many friends in the class, and everyone seems to like him very much. A classmate who has neurosis has been inviting Le Yao to play at his house and want to talk to him.

"Okay." Zhou Luoyang agreed and said, "I'll pick you up at his house when I come back."

Starting on the 3rd, Le Yao went on an official autumn tour with his classmates, and everyone took out a minibus to go to Inner Mongolia to play. Zhou Luoyang couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he paid the expensive tuition and chose this international school. Le Yao's student days were much richer than his.

"Okay," Zhou Luoyang sighed, "I should be able to have a good time."

Du Jing took out his suit jacket, looked at Zhou Luoyang, and said, "Would the handsome guy accompany me to the two-person world?"

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

"I thought you would sleep at home all day," Zhou Luoyang got into the car and fastened his seat belt. "Is it bad to sleep? Sleeping is also a world of two people."

"I slept in the last half month," Du Jing said while driving, "more than in the past three years, enough sleep."

"You can get a good night's sleep after a hard day's work." Zhou Luoyang said with emotion.

"A lifetime of hard work can earn you eternal sleep." Du Jing said, "It's time to work."

"What to do?" Zhou Luoyang received the ticket and was taken by Du Jing into the entertainment center on the top floor of a commercial plaza. "Do you have to play escape room while working?"

Du Jing replied: "In the same case, the missing person participated in this project before going to Ho Chi Minh City."

Zhou Luoyang: "There is obviously no necessary connection between the two. Do you suspect that he was taken away in a daze after entering the secret room?"

Du Jing: "Mr. Wu, it is said that during the pastime, he met a friend who took him to Ho Chi Minh City."

Zhou Luoyang: "Then you should find this 'friend', shouldn't you? Play again, what kind of strange idea is this?"

Du Jing: "There is obviously a group owner in charge of the organization of this event. Of course, the people who appear in each episode are not exactly the same, but the two people who signed up this time have played four months ago, and Xiao Wu participated. that period.”

Zhou Luoyang turned his head and looked at the people lining up on the other side. The two of them got VIP tickets and could have a cup of tea in the tea room. After the end, they could also get the peripherals and souvenirs made of photos, which were taken in the dark horror secret room. What it will be is another matter.

Even escape rooms are divided into classes these days.

"Do you suspect that they abducted people through this kind of gathering?!" Zhou Luoyang said, "Isn't it possible."

Du Jing: "Of course not, but I suspect that it is through this form that they get to know each other, develop relationships, and then cultivate feelings. People who are emotionally empty always need a channel of understanding. It is easy to leave chat records online, while offline It's the best chance to leave no trace."

Zhou Luoyang: "Do you think you would develop any relationship with a stranger who happened to play the same escape room?"

Du Jing: "The process of escape room requires mutual dependence and cooperation. This is a good opportunity."

Zhou Luoyang: "Assuming this trafficker develops a relationship with Xiao Wu in this way, and then takes him to Vietnam to sell him, I don't think he will come again next time."

"Why not?" Du Jing said patiently, "As long as it is not discovered, this is obviously an inexhaustible renewable resource."

Zhou Luoyang began to feel a little chill.

"But not necessarily everyone..." Zhou Luoyang said, "eat this set."

Du Jing: "With other conditions, it is not necessarily. This is essentially an offline gay dating party."

"Do you make friends with the same sex?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"Didn't you find that all the people in line were men?" Du Jing motioned for Zhou Luoyang to look, then lowered his head a little and looked into Zhou Luoyang's eyes in front of him.

"Ultimate Chaos"

Zhou Luoyang wondered: "Why did they choose here?"

Du Jing: "Because the group owner has a stake in this room escape entertainment."

Zhou Luoyang was speechless at this inference.

Du Jing said, "You will be shou, and I am a licking dog. I wanted to join you, so I joined a gay group and signed up to the group owner to bring you to participate in this game."

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing: "You should find Xiaoli for this kind of thing."

"There's no guarantee that you'll be jealous," Du Jing explained politely, "I'm also reluctant. Besides, I don't act like someone who doesn't feel it, and it's easy to be seen through, don't you think?"

Zhou Luoyang: "………………"

"Are you two coming here for the first time?" The staff lady came over with the procedure sheet and explained to them in front of the cafe, smiling, "Do you need to explain it to you?"

The VIP service also included explanations, but Du Jing didn't give her a chance to take the flyer.

"I'll explain it to him." Du Jing said, "Thank you."

Zhou Luoyang looked at the players lining up not far away, then looked at Du Jing.

"What about the explanation?" Zhou Luoyang looked down. This is the decryption of the temple of Angkor Wat. It is divided into five parts. It is necessary to solve 16 traps and try to escape.

During the process, it is specially reminded not to destroy any facilities. The limit is three hours and twenty minutes. If the time is exceeded, the end will be declared, and the staff will come to open the door. There is no actual content in the process sheet, only matters needing attention and payment terms, and communication with other players.

"Just follow me," Du Jingsong said with his fingers down, "it's all kindergarten mode."

Zhou Luoyang wants to beat him, what kind of explanation is this? Obviously just want to play handsome to show me!

"Everyone, please come in." The lady said.

So the two joined with the other four, and the staff opened the door and sent them in. From the well-lit shopping mall, he turned into the dark room in an instant, and Zhou Luoyang's line of sight was obviously not adaptable.

There was silence all around, Zhou Luoyang turned around, and Du Jing took his hand.

None of the six players spoke, apparently adjusting to the darkness.

"This is the beginning?" Zhou Luoyang said, "There is no preparation."

Zhou Luoyang broke the silence in the room, and everyone laughed along. After a burst of laughter, the tense atmosphere eased a little.

"It's a temple." In the darkness, a boy whispered.

Another replied: "Well, it's on the flyer."

"The phone has no signal, so don't look at it." Another person said again.

You can choose to store your phone externally, but most people bring their phone in.

After a few simple conversations, no one asked each other's names. Zhou Luoyang found out that the secret room was indeed a good place to meet strangers and establish connections. The strange and unfamiliar atmosphere pervaded, but it brought them enough sense of security. Everyone's attention is focused on the same point: find a way to get out, get out.

There is no need for courtesies and greetings. Naturally, the topic turns directly to the exit.

Du Jing walked around the room and observed the surrounding arrangements. This is a temple prison made of stone bricks. The front is sealed by a steel fence. There is light outside the fence. There are lights on the walls that simulate torches. Obviously, there is still a lot of space.

There was the sound of dripping water, and there was a hidden sound somewhere, perhaps on the ceiling.

There are two beds, a wooden basin in the prison, and nothing else.

There was a big iron lock on the fence, that's all.

Zhou Luoyang glanced at the other four, a tall man, about the same height as Du Jing, but stronger, like a mountain. A college student dressed up as if Zhou Luoyang had seen him storing his bags outside, as if someone had asked him to come. A youngest high school student, but alone.

There was also a tall and thin young man wearing a shirt and trousers with good skin, with a slightly gloomy expression, looking at the people.

Zhou Luoyang remembered what Du Jing said, there was a suspect from last time in this party. The possibility of two students is not high, and it can be ruled out, then only this tall man and the office worker are left.

Who is the one?

"I guess the first puzzle is to open the lock." Du Jing first cut to the point and said, "Look for the key?"
