    Chapter 41 Underwater Escape

    An Wu Jiu was choked on by the water.

    The last second, he was still in the dark golden birdcage, but now he was locked in a huge glass cover filled with ice water. The other person in the coma was almost in a state of falling into the water, until he couldn't breathe, then he suddenly woke up and stood up shaking from the water.

    An Wu Jiu was soaked all over, the hair that was originally tied behind his head was also loose and dripping with water. After standing up, the water was almost submerged in the lower abdomen, and there were spherical ice cubes floating on it. The temperature was surprisingly low, and he couldn't help shivering.

    This is a rectangular glass cover.

    There is a metal disc with a large area and a small height at the top. A metal pipe is inserted into the center of the disc. At present, ice water is continuously being injected into the device. There is a metal bar sticking out from each of the four corners of the top, and it is not known what it is.

    Using your own height as a benchmark, the height of this glass cover should be at least two meters.

    An Wu Jiu lowered his head, his feet were entangled by the two chains at the bottom, he bent down and tried to untie it, but the chains were extremely strong, just like the glass device in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it. .

    But this was what An Wu Jiu had expected, so he only tried a few times and didn't put much effort into it.

    After realizing that this device is very difficult to break through violent means from the inside out, An Wujiu's face was still calm, he just ruled out a wrong way.

    After thinking for a while, An Wu Jiu took off his shirt soaked in ice water, let go, and plunged into the water that submerged his lower body.

    He leaned against the glass wall on one side to prevent it from being drenched by the water column in the middle. The white upper body is exposed in the air, along with the black and white peony patterns on the side neck and chest, it really looks like a piece of art on display.

    Outside the glass cover is a dim scene, with many dolls, giant playing cards and discarded circus supplies piled up everywhere, and on the left is the huge velvet curtain, which completely hides the lonely self.

    An Wu Jiu raised his head, stretched out his hand and touched the water flowing from top to bottom, then raised his eyes and stared at the metal disc at the top of the device, and found that there were four divided discs and a green button on it. . So he raised his hand and tried to press it with his fingertips.

    "You are such an impatient player."

    The voice of the rabbit just now appeared, but it was only heard and no one was seen. An Wu Jiu always felt that he was monitoring him somewhere.

    He had the feeling of being watched from the first floor.

    "However, you're also the smartest player I've ever seen. After waking up from here, you didn't yell, you didn't smash the glass, you didn't tug on your ankles, but stood up calmly. Taking it off will keep you going. Wet clothes whose body temperature has dropped, start with the mechanism of the device."

    Rabbit said compliments, "As expected of an advanced player, I know how to make myself live longer."

    "However," the next second, his style of painting changed, and his voice was low, "you can't decide whether you can live long or not."

    What does it mean.

    An Wu Jiu's expression did not change, he continued to remain silent and listened to him.

    "I know what you are thinking now, you must be thinking, isn't it water, anyway, just hold your breath for a while, wait until someone outside comes to rescue you, even if you lack oxygen at that time, as long as you are rescued in time, you will survive if you drown your head. possible."

    After speaking, the voice let out a harsh laugh again.

    "See the four metal bars on top of your head? Those are the electrodes that connect the circuit in the theater. Once the water level rises there, it will be completely short-circuited. Guess at that time, can you survive submerged in the water? "

    An Wujiu finally knew the lethal mechanism of this device.

    He raised his head and looked at the metal bars at the four corners. At the current speed of the water, he might be electrocuted to death here soon.

    "It's so boring, so you won't show a scared expression? I like the expressions on human faces when they are greatly frightened. How interesting, especially a beautiful face like you, it is perfect."

    An Wu Jiu put his arms around his chest and said softly, "I'm not interested in chatting with a rabbit who has a perverted hobby. What else is there in this game, tell me all, and see if it can scare me."

    Rabbit laughed again.

    "It's an interesting player, so I'll just say it. This giant glass can't be shattered from the inside out, but it can be from the outside. Can you see the sledgehammer under the poker card? Two people can basically pick it up, and then After a few more smashes, you can come out smoothly, isn't it easy?"

    It must not be so easy.

    "But, the people outside are all hypnotized. They are enjoying the wonderful magic show. No one will have the time to save you. Besides, they don't know that you are alone."

    An Wu Jiu suddenly thought of the fake self from before.

    He raised his hand and tried to touch the microphone beside his ear.

    "Don't do it, it's useless, all signals will be blocked here, unless they find out, otherwise...you will be forgotten here forever. But it's hard, you think, only A guy whose willpower is strong enough to fight against the altar can pass the resistance hypnosis, and even if he resists, there is already one of you by his side, maybe it is possible to leave here directly."

    An Wujiu was silent.

    Seeing that he didn't speak, the rabbit seemed to be proud and said in a high-pitched voice, "See the pipe in the middle that has been pouring water all the time. Now the continuous watering shows that no one outside is free from the control of hypnosis. When the number of people being brainwashed decreases, the water will flow. Disconnect, and every time someone's will breaks free, there's a five-minute cut-off period. But as long as you don't come out, those times will pass and you'll still die."

    This also means that he can only get a maximum of 30 minutes of water off period, or on the premise that everyone is awake.

    "But... I'm very tolerant." The rabbit continued, "I'll give you a way to save yourself, although I can't let you out completely, at least I won't be electrocuted here, or live in a zero-degree ice-water mixture. freeze to death."

    After speaking, the four discs on the top metal disc suddenly opened, and long silks of four colors of black, white, red and blue appeared from the circular holes, which were folded in half and hung on the four ring-shaped hooks, and slowly dropped to the safe side. innocent eyes.

    These silk silks are very similar to magic tools, but An Wujiu noticed that the long silks are not well-made, they are not evenly woven, and some places are so thin that they can be broken when pulled, while others are very thick. ,differ greatly.

    "This is my little test for you. It won't be too difficult. These long silks are props. I will now tell you a few conditions. First, a long silk is hung vertically here, if one end just touches water surface, then the water will go up through these capillary fibers until it saturates the whole long silk, which takes 20 minutes. You have four long silks that are exactly the same except for the color, and you can drag them to the height you want. But one thing , I want to remind you that the long silk weaving here is very special, it is an uneven texture, and the speed of wetting may vary from section to section."

    "Second, that is my challenge to you: you need to give exactly 22 minutes and 30 seconds without any timing tools and prompts. When you press the green button at the top, you have Start the timer, press it again, and the timer is over."

    "You can start at any time or end at any time. If the difference between this period and the real 22 minutes and 30 seconds reaches 3 seconds in the end, I'm sorry, then you will never have the chance to save yourself, and you can only give your life to people outside. Or be electrocuted here alive and become a specimen of mine forever."

    He seemed to have seen through An Wu Jiao's thoughts, and added another sentence after saying the basic rules.

    "Kindly remind you. Don't try to count the time with your heartbeat. When your body is soaked in ice water, your body temperature will get lower and lower, and your heart rate will get slower and slower."

    The ice water was still flowing down at this moment, and the ice cubes were already floating on An Wu Jiao's waist.

    "Think of a way." The rabbit's voice was sharp and long, "Or think about your last words, I will pass it on to your surviving friends after this round of games is over, so that they can also feel regret. and taste.”

    "But there may be no chance. The water has not stopped until now, and the people outside may fall into hypnosis. I won't be alone on the road."

    An Wu Jiu has no intention to listen to what he has to say anymore, what Rabbit is saying now is nothing more than a psychological tactic, wanting to completely destroy his will, so that he can win without fighting.

    But just a moment after the rabbit's voice fell, the continuously flowing water column suddenly stopped.

    The pipeline is directly closed, and the injection of ice water is stopped.

    Standing in the water, An Wu Jiu suddenly smiled and said to the silent rabbit at the moment.

    "Don't underestimate the willpower of survivors."

    Shen Ti felt that something was controlling his consciousness.

    After the teleportation, An Wu Jiu walked down from the stage, approached step by step, and finally stood in front of Shen Ti, bent down to pick up the flower on his lap, twisted the stem and turned it around.

    "Does it look good?" He raised his eyes, his eyes moved from the complicated snow-white petals to Shen Ti's face.

    His facial features, expression, eyes, the light in his eyes, the state of his lips rising when he smiles, the patterns on his body, and his standing posture.

    Exactly the same as An Wu Jiu.

    But he is not innocent.

    The moment he saw him, the happiness that surged in his heart also caused Shen Ti to be briefly confused for a moment, but he saw clearly that the person in front of him was not innocent.

    If An Wujiu came out of another cage, he would continue to observe the stage for a while with suspicion instead of coming down directly towards him.

    He had no reason for this, and no motive. Shen Ti is very clear that now he is not that special to An Wu Jiu.

    What's more, the current An Wu Jiu is so kind and hopeful that he can save everyone, this kind of savior's eyes are as clean as the holy water of baptism, and there is no evil that cannot be concealed at all.

    Still want to hide the sinister.

    He still couldn't move, couldn't speak, his whole body was paralyzed, but he felt that his eyes could move and his teeth could use force.

    The person in front of him was probably the fake An Wugui who wanted to kill Zhong Yirou at that time.

    "An Wu Jiu" put the flower in Shen Ti's front pocket, walked around his chair slowly, and brushed his fingers lightly on his shoulders and back.

    When he walked behind him, Shen Ti rolled his eyes diligently, looked to the right, and could only see part of the other people's figures, but he saw the applause and heard their applause.

    But the stage was empty at the moment, and neither was the rabbit.

    Suddenly, his hand seemed to be controlled by some invisible force.

    Shen Ti struggled hard with his hands, he was afraid that once he applauded, the hypnotic mechanism would be triggered. His hands were raised with difficulty, trembling slightly.

    In order not to be hypnotized, Shen Ti tried his best to open his clenched teeth and bit his tongue.

    The moment the intense pain spread, Shen Ti suddenly felt that part of his body was liberated. His previously numb lips and jaw seemed to relax, and his vocal cords, which were as tight as ice, gradually recovered.

    "you you……"

    Hearing Shen Ti's voice, "An Wu Jiu"'s face was full of surprise, he faced Shen Ti and used the same face as An Wu Jiu to get closer and hold his cheeks.

    "You spoke!"

    With a smile on his face, he hugged Shen Ti, "How can you still talk? I've already fed you hypnotics. It's really my A01."

    really.

    Shen Ti's lips moved with difficulty, "You...you are here."

    "An Wu Jiu" knelt down halfway, folded his arms on Shen Ti's knees, raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, most of the evil that could not be hidden before had disappeared, and only A look of admiration.

    "Yes, here I am. Are you happy?"

    Shen Ti took a deep breath.

    He wanted to speak, but bit his tongue again.

    This time, after the pain, his lips and teeth became more flexible, as if they were slowly thawing and recovering.

    "I...of course I'm happy." He could speak in full sentences, just slowly, "You pull me, I...I want to go out with you."

    "That can't be done." "An Wujiu" before him smiled and pointed at the others, "Everyone is still watching the show very seriously. If we slip away again, they will laugh at us."

    The cuteness and sweetness in his eyes constantly reminded Shen Ti of one thing.

    "Okay..." Shen Ti also showed a slightly stiff smile, "You don't like them laughing at you, do you?"

    "An Wu Jiu" thought for a while, when he was silent, the corner of his mouth would slightly down, as if he was recalling something that was not very happy, and finally, he gave an irrelevant answer.

    "I just don't like them cheating on me."

    Saying that, the hands of "An Wu Jiu" folded on Shen Ti's knees clenched unconsciously, fingers almost digging into the flesh.

    This kind of pain made Shen Ti's originally paralyzed leg feel a little bit, but it wasn't enough.

    But this feeling didn't last long, "An Wu Jiu" finally came out of his memory and loosened his tightly clasped hands.

    "It hurts you." He lowered his head and smoothed his wrinkled trousers.

    "I didn't want to touch you, but he said he wouldn't let me touch you."

    "He?" Shen Ti softened his tone and asked in a persuasive manner, "Who is he?"

    "He is..." Fake An Wugui's expression was a little bitter, "He is our father, the owner of this shelter."

    Shen Ti frowned.

    Our... father?

    The person in front of him is A01's lover or A01's brother.

    He showed a smile, "You don't need to worry about him, he can't be the master." Shen Ti cast a gentle look at "An Wujiu" in front of him, "Don't be afraid."

    "An Wu Jiu" also looked at him with a confused look, as if he was puzzled by his gentleness, "You didn't lie to me?"

    Shen Ti was silent for a moment, and then continued to smile, his tone soft and persuasive.

    "How could it be? If I lie to you, you bully me and push me to the ground like you did when you were a child."

    "I didn't treat you like this when I was a kid. You get mad at me easily." He said so, but he was still amused. "At most, I just cried and beat you a few times."

    "Alright, even if you hit me, push me down and let me fall, I won't be angry." Shen Ti stared at his eyes with sincere eyes and guided him, "If you don't believe me, try it?"

    "An Wu Jiu" stared at him, raised his hand tentatively, and finally chose to put it down.

    His tone was suspicious, and he blinked, "I feel like you're a little different today."

    Shen Ti's heart sank for a moment.

    He changed his expression and sneered at "An Wu Jiu" in front of him.

    "What? It's rare to be nice to you, but you don't like it anymore?"

    "An Wu Jiu" was stunned for a second, the doubtful expression on his face gradually changed to disappointment.

    Shen Ti frowned deliberately, "Don't do this, I don't like your expression."

    "You still haven't changed. You are always angry with me. I have done so much for you!" His emotions gradually got out of control, "Why are you always so cold! Why!"

    Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ti, who was sitting on the chair, was kicked by "An Wujiu" with his leg raised and he fell backwards.

    Huge pain oscillated from behind and spread to the whole body, and he felt that his paralyzed limbs gradually began to feel conscious. "An Wu Jiu" was just as he expected, still immersed in pain, seeing him fall to the ground, he also stepped forward to grab his collar, his expression was angry and painful.

    "You're all lying to me! You're all lying to me! So are they! So are you!"

    Shen Ti moved his fingertips.

    "Damn, damn it..."

    Just when he muttered to himself, a pair of arms embraced "An Wu Jiu" in his arms.

    "I'm joking, why are you so angry."

    Shen Ti's gentle voice lingered in his ears, and in the pain that spread throughout his body, he slowly stood up, and also supported "An Wu Jiao" to soothe his emotions and empathize with him.

    "They lied to you, I'll beat them for you."

    As he said that, Shen Ti pulled his arm, slowly came to Wu You's chair next to him, and punched him hard on the back shoulder.

    In an instant, Wu You, who was originally quiet on the empty stage, suddenly woke up and blinked.

    The flowing water column stopped again.

    This time it was five minutes after the last time.

    An Wu Jiu looked at the long silk in front of him, raised his hand, and pulled the white long silk down, keeping it folded in half, until both ends of the long silk touched the water surface, and started to get wet at the same time. , his other hand pulls down the long red silk, but pulls down one end of the folded one, and pulls it into a complete long strip. wet, and pressed the green button.

    "Starting your challenge so soon? You only have one chance."

    "People outside will come to save me." An Wu Jiu stared at the white silk folded in half.

    "I'll win too."
