I have an escape guide

Chapter 177 Seeing is not necessarily believing

A strong light was on in front of his eyes, and Exxon was a little uncomfortable with the instant brightness. He squinted his eyes and could see the light spots in the distance gradually approaching him.

"Get ready. Detective Lin is coming soon. In ten seconds, the screen will cut to you." The director's voice rang in his ears.

Every step, every activity, every sentence is carefully designed by Magic City.

What the audience in front of the screen wants to see, they have been performers for so many years, they know it clearly in their hearts, even if the escape game itself is not so exciting, through the lens, cutting and conversion, and adding subtitles and BGM, even if It is a live broadcast, but it can also be as exciting as a TV show.

This time, it was a feast.

Behind him, Resident Chen was tied up in a transparent box with a wooden rope. His mouth was stuffed with a cloth, so he couldn't make a sound. He didn't struggle, just like Exxon, looking into the distance.

This transparent box hangs above the sea, not high, only three or four meters away.

Tonight, the sea is calm and there are no waves at all. There is always a salty smell in the wind. The sea is endless, and it is dark and dark. If it is not for the lights on the shore, there will be only the darkness that eats people.

Occasionally, there will be seagulls fluttering past, but it is very rare. There used to be a lot of birds here. Since the establishment of the Magic City, in the past two years, those animals have become less and less.

The waves slapped on the rocks one after another, like urging or urging, the waves raised in the air, turned twice, or disappeared in the gap between white horses, or returned to the sea.

Mr. Clown is also here, he is watching from a distance, he will not approach, just so quietly, standing there, Exxon noticed him, and just glanced at him lightly.

His bluish-purple shattered hair sticks to the sides of his cheeks, his eyes are hidden in the shadows, everyone looks at him with a smile, a smear of red on his nose, slightly funny, and grinning makeup...

But obviously, he didn't have any expression on his face.

Mr. Clown is not actually called Mr. Clown. His current name is Jerry, which is the stage name given to him by Magic City. Speaking of his name, there are some stories.

In fact, his real name was Zhao Jiaping, but he always felt that this name was too girly and not aggressive enough. When he became an adult, he changed his name to Zhao Yechen.

But he didn't expect that his name hadn't been used for long, and he abandoned it because of work. Now, in the entire Magic City, no one except Exon remembered that his name was Zhao Yechen.

There were some noises in the earphones, and the sound of the director's countdown began to sound. Exon took a deep breath. He turned around twice before finding a place to sit down and showing his signature smile.

Looking down from him, there are many staff members going back and forth below, some adjusting the lighting, some adjusting the scenery, and those magic props, and in the whole shot, only he is shown.

When he turned his head, Resident Chen just raised his eyes, and the eyes of the two collided. After a while, Resident Chen lowered his head.

After all, from beginning to end...

……

Exxon was right in front of Lin Yangfei.

From Lin Yangfei's perspective, he seemed to be floating in the air.

Exxon's voice came from the microphone, and he said, "Hi, Detective Lin, we meet again."

Lin Yangfei raised his head and looked at Exxon.

This place is so weird, it looks very close, but when you walk, there is a long distance, there are many layers of cardboard blocking Lin Yangfei's way, and you can only feel it when you get close.

When the camera was not aimed at Lin Yangfei, a staff member sneaked up and handed Lin Yangfei a microphone.

Lin Yangfei looked at Exxon and said, "Since you have seen Resident Chen, you said that I am also here, so let him go quickly."

"Detective Lin, have you seen the ultimate escape magic?" Exxon asked suddenly.

Lin Yangfei shook his head: "No, our family rarely watches TV programs."

"I'm sorry, I'm not talented, but my field of expertise happens to be extreme escape." Exxon smiled.

Lin Yangfei complained: "Aren't you the owner of the memorial hall?"

"I used to work in Magic City." Exxon replied smoothly. Yes, he was quite impressed with his script.

Lin Yangfei: "Aren't you the boss? The boss also wants to perform on stage?"

"That's not necessary." Exon said with a smile, "the money is not enough, acting is my sideline."

Lin Yangfei immediately answered, "Then your side job is really dangerous."

Exxon waved his hand: "It's okay."

Lin Yangfei scratched his head and said, "Are we just here to talk nonsense?"

"No, isn't this a relationship, anyway, we have worked together before." Exxon smiled friendly.

Lin Yangfei raised his hand and said quickly: "Oh, wait, I don't have a boss who would kidnap innocent residents, and don't delay, I've seen it all, the box is falling a little bit, I said , you don’t really want to drown Chen residents, do you?”

"That's not true. The rope in his hand is easy to untie. It's just that the box is sealed and the glass is specially made. It's not easy for people to break it, you know? Extreme escape magic is not that fun. If you don't escape quickly Come out, the air inside will become thinner and thinner. Speaking of which, since ancient times, many magicians have died like this." Exon said slowly, he was not in a hurry.

Lin Yangfei didn't have time to talk to him so much, so he asked directly: "How dare you say it, how can you let him go?"

"It's very simple, just come here." Exxon pointed below him.

That is, in front of Lin Yangfei, those cardboards lying in front of him, about two meters high.

He said it was so simple, but Lin Yangfei knew that it must not be that simple in reality.

He felt strange just now, the distance between the eyes here is very different from the actual distance.

Exxon continued: "The cardboards in front of you are actually a maze. If you can pass through the maze, you can save people. There are tools and diving suits at the end. It seems that you guessed it. This box will follow you." As time passed, it continued to fall, and finally sank to the bottom of the water. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, if he can escape by himself."

"Are you crazy!?" Lin Yangfei was a little annoyed, and he shouted that he was making fun of the lives of Chen residents.

Exxon smiled, and he replied loudly: "Isn't it also written in your script, tonight is, Crazy Magic City!"

Lin Yangfei clenched his fists.

As if remembering something, Exon looked down at his watch and said, "A warm reminder, it seems that there are only three hours left before twelve o'clock."

It doesn't seem so easy to be successful.

Seeing this, Mr. Clown suddenly turned around and left. When he left, he whispered: "As long as you don't forget, this is Magic City."

This also means that, many times, what you see is not real.
