Chapter 012

“Well… It might even work for women who have a lot of love.” Feng Bujue looked away from the newspaper and glanced at the monkey in the cage, “If necessary, even in reality, I would not hesitate… And it’s just a game.” He put the paper down, as if he had lost interest in its contents. “But… Now that you’ve told me the exact weight, it must be a hint.”

He walked up to the machine, crouched down, put his face close to it, and examined it. So he went round the machine, knocked the shell with his fist, and kicked it twice with his foot. It was evident that the shell of the machine was not merely a sheet of iron, but a solid iron plate, with screws so tight that it was impossible to disassemble it by hand, or to move it with the strength of a man.

There were no visible cracks to be found in the surface of the machine, and the two meters were so firmly fixed that it would have been futile to try to find any holes in the machine itself with less than three minutes to spare.

So, he went to pull the monkey’s iron cage a few times, really welded dead, motionless. He looked around the room. There was nothing but four walls.

He walked back to the middle of the room, picked up the doll, and sat down on the little wooden chair. As the chair was very small, Feng was almost squatting when he sat.

“To get through this room without killing a monkey… In addition to the 7.5 kilograms of the chair and the doll, we have to find another 7.5 kilograms of objects.” He rested his right elbow on his knee, tilted his head and tapped his forefinger and middle finger on his forehead.

“The walkman weighs only 2 jin, not to mention the syringe, and the system limits the removal of clothes, pants and running shoes. I suddenly miss that stone. It must be a pound or two!” He smiled and said, “So… There was only one thing left to move in a room with all six sides bare…” He looked up at the overhead lighting.

It was a suspended fluorescent lamp, about a meter long, embedded in a plastic lamp case, suspended from the ceiling by two wires, and the wires were wrapped around the two suspended wires.

The ceiling of this room was much lower than outside, but it was still about four meters, and the hanging tubes were not close to the ceiling, but not as high as they could reach.

He stood up, stepped on the wooden chair, stood on tiptoe on the little stool, straightened his arm to measure, his fingertips and the lamp is still about a foot away. This distance is not long, say short is not short, just let people reach. The chair was so small that it was difficult to stand on it with your feet together, and it was obviously impossible to jump up and down and reach for something overhead.

Time is running out. There are only 73 seconds left.

He stretched out his hand to gauge the distance, glanced back at the clock, and then smiled and said to himself, “It was very difficult from the beginning… Oh… Just what I want.”

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

Feng unconsciously after a little thought, his eyes moved to the doll’s body. As if he had figured it out, he ran quickly to pick it up, took off the doll’s black suit and held it in his hand. Then he stood back on the wooden chair, grasped one sleeve of the suit with his left hand and swung it upward.

Although the small suit was only the size of children’s clothes, it was enough to cross the lamp tube. Feng did not feel aware of raising his right hand again and pulling the sleeve of another suit over the lamp tube. The suit was now approaching the REINS on the horse’s mouth. One end of the fluorescent lamp casing was hanging down, and the other end was still dangling from the ceiling like a dachshund.

Now he could grab the tube, which had a plastic shell on three sides. He didn’t have to worry about breaking the glass. Although the room was plunged into darkness because of the loss of lighting, it was not difficult to touch the lamp that was “floating” in front of us. He grabbed the tube and, with a little effort, ripped the wire off the other end, holding the meter-long fluorescent tube with its plastic casing.

From now on, Feng unconsciously in his mind to count the time, this moment should be left about 35 seconds. In the darkness, the machine continued to run and rumble. He did not rush towards the sound, but cautiously got down from his chair, found the doll on the floor with his foot, and, having memorized the position of the two objects, counted his steps as he walked towards the machine.

It is easy to come to the machine, and the position of the mouth can be clearly known by sound alone. Feng did not know, head side back, the tube into the machine, two rows of gears will be the fluorescent lamp crushed down, squeezed down from the gap. Although there are some small broken glass sputtered out in the process, but the seal was not aware of early preparedness, was not hurt.

When three quarters of the tubes were in the machine, he let go, turned and faced the direction in which he had come, counted his steps, and trotted through the darkness, keeping them in check lest a big foot should go out and kick what he wanted. He had no time to fumble about on the ground in the darkness.

Not surprisingly, within ten paces he touched the doll lightly on the ground. Time was very tight. Feng quickly squatted down and grabbed the doll with one hand and the small wooden chair with the other. He ran back to the machine, and there was no need to think about turning back this time, so he took a long stride and in a few seconds he reached the machine and threw the doll into it.

The back of the wooden chair is slightly longer than the diameter of the round mouth, which was noticed and kept in mind. If he had not taken this into account, he would now have found the little wooden chair wedged right through the opening. But Feng Bujue wasn’t going to make that mistake, ever. Before he pulled the lamp, he had figured out every step of being in the dark.

While the machine was still crushing the doll, he seized the back of the wooden chair with one hand, tilted it to the ground, and with a strong stamping of his foot, deformed the plank of the seat. Such a folded stool would fit effortlessly into the round mouth.

There were only five seconds left, and the broken wooden chair was smoothly filled into the machine. Almost three seconds later, the rumbling of the machine stopped. Because of the darkness, we could not see what was on the timer and meter. He did not know whether he had reached the 15kg mark and stopped playing, or whether running out of time had caused the machine to stop running.

The next few seconds were so long and trying. Nothing happened, seal not aware of the heart gradually sinking, is that the weight of the tube is not enough? In real life, this kind of hanging fluorescent lamp with lamp shell and tube may be less than 7.5 kg, but just I hold in the hand, the feeling is obviously more than this weight, I believe that this is also the weight of the game intentionally set, is it the wrong idea to solve the puzzle? The only way out of this room is to kill the monkey?

All doubts were dispelled with a strange click, and the door to the next room opened, but the response time was only about ten seconds apart.

A light came through the crack in the door, announcing that the game was still on…
