Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 152 Let's play a game
Ivan opened his eyes with some headaches, feeling dizzy and swollen, he shook his head, and it took a while to remember what happened just now.

Before, he and his daughter Sophia were having fun outside the wooden house in their hometown. Suddenly, a person fell from the sky and took Sophia away. He was about to chase after him, but he passed out with a finger.

Think of Sophia!He hurriedly got up, but when he looked around, he felt a chill in his heart. In front of him was a small dark room with a small square table and two chairs. It was the interrogation room of the base.

He actually returned to the base's interrogation room, and only then did he suddenly remember that Sophia was already dead.

So, was what happened just a dream?He froze there sadly and at a loss, closed his eyes, Sophia's face was so clear, and the scene with Sophia before was so real, it was hard for him to believe that it was just a dream, he sighed He took a deep breath, stood up, and wanted to push open the door of the interrogation room, but he was relieved to find that the door was completely locked.

At this time, Didi Didi, a sound of computer startup suddenly sounded behind him. Ivan turned around vigilantly and saw that an old-fashioned desktop computer appeared on the small square table at some point. On the dark screen, a cursor was constantly blinking.

Ivan looked at this computer with some surprise. He couldn't remember when there was another computer like this in the base. This computer seemed to be a product of the 80s and [-]s, with a huge ball screen display and a white and heavy case. Even the operation interface is a DOS interface, which is pitch black.

A line of text suddenly appeared on the computer.

[Hello—Ivan. 】

Ivan looked around in surprise, what the hell is going on?How did the base come under control?

He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and sat down, tapping the keyboard with his fingers hesitantly.

【Who are you? 】

[Who I am is not important, what is important is, do you want to find your daughter? 】

Ivan was shocked when he saw it.

[Sophia?she is still alive?Wasn't what just happened a dream? 】

【How could there be such a realistic dream? Could it be that the joy you enjoyed playing with her was fake? Of course she is still alive, but if you don't hurry, she will die soon. 】

Ivan couldn't believe it, but the memory of his daughter made him ask quickly.

【What do you want? 】

[It's very simple, play a game with me, the rules of the game are as follows, next, I will open the door of the interrogation room, you will hear your daughter's knock on the door, you have three chances to find the correct door, if If you are wrong, you will be sent back to this room to start over. If you fail three times, your daughter will die. Also, the first time you have 8 minutes to find the door, the second time 4 minutes for the second time, 2 minutes for the third time, this rule is very simple, isn't it? 】

[Don't hurt my daughter, please, Sophia is innocent. 】

However, the other party was completely unmoved.

[No one is completely innocent. If I were you, I would hurry up. Now, the game begins. 】

With a creak, the iron door of the interrogation room slowly opened.

At the same time, there seemed to be a faint knock on the door.

Ivan looked out of the door suddenly, and after a few seconds of stunned, he rushed out of the door in a hurry. There was no one in the corridor outside, only the dim lights, making the whole base look spooky. , There was silence all around, only the sound of the door slamming, and the faint cry of the daughter.

"Don't worry about Sophia, Dad is here!" Ivan shouted, and ran towards the direction of the sound. The base is not big, so in the blink of an eye, he ran to the door where the sound of smashing the door came from. Outside, however, at this moment, the sound of slamming the door suddenly disappeared, Ivan's heart sank, he hurriedly opened the door, but there was nothing behind the door, only a burst of dazzling white light, and then he lost awareness.

"Where is this?" Ivan shook his head and straightened up. He felt a little groggy all over. After a while, he realized that he seemed to be back in the interrogation room.

It was still empty, and the door was still locked, only the cursor on the computer was blinking.

[Looks like you failed, Ivan, I have to say, I'm really disappointed, but it doesn't matter, the second time is about to start, remember, this time there are only 4 minutes left. 】

Before Ivan could ask the other party, the iron door behind him opened again with a creak, and at the same time the door was slammed again, but this time the daughter's cries were much weaker.

Ivan didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed out hastily.

His eyes scanned back and forth on both sides of the corridor, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that he might misjudge the source of the sound.

He was right, the knock was on the fourth door on the right, while he was confirming the source of the sound, he ran fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the door.

Pulled open the door, however, there was still nothing behind the door, only a dazzling white light.

Then it went dark, and Ivan lost consciousness again.

He straightened up from the table abruptly, like a wild beast scanning around vigilantly, the computer was right in front of him, and a line of text flashed behind the cursor on it.

[It seems that you failed again, unfortunately, this time is your last chance left, and the time limit is only 2 minutes, if you fail again, I am afraid that Sophia will die because of your incompetence up. 】

【No, you can't do that! ] Ivan yelled at the computer, and only after he yelled twice did he realize that the computer couldn't hear what he was saying at all. His thick fingers tapped awkwardly on the keyboard, but the computer didn't respond. At the same time, the door of the interrogation room opened again.

He didn't dare to hesitate, 2 minutes flashed by, he rushed out of the gate, and soon came to the door from which the door was smashed, this time he hesitated, the previous two failures left him in his heart What if I guess wrong again?But time has not allowed him to think too much. Gritting his teeth, he forcefully opened the iron door, and then looked desperately at the empty room behind the door. No, it was not empty. There was a computer in that room. , it was the old-fashioned computer he had seen before.

He rushed into the room in a hurry, searched around, and couldn't see Sophia at all, he rushed to the computer like crazy.

【You failed again. ] On the computer, a line of text flashed out.

【No, please don't kill Sophia. 】

Ivan knelt down in front of the computer powerlessly, tears streaming down his face.

a long time.

【Okay, because you love your daughter so much, I will give you one last chance. As for the time limit, this time is only 1 minute. You have to hurry up, this is your last chance to save Sophia. So don't hesitate, don't hesitate. 】

[Remember, you only have 1 minute. 】

[Remember, you only have 1 minute. 】

[Remember, you only have 1 minute. 】

The same last sentence was repeated three times on the screen.

In the next second, Ivan lost consciousness again.

Ivan felt that he had a splitting headache, as if he had drunk more than a dozen bottles of wine. His mind was dizzy, and even when he opened his eyes, he flew away. After finally finding the focus, he saw the darkness around him. ,here it is?Hey, it's my own room.

He suddenly sat up from the bed, and the violent movements made his brain dizzy and dazed for a while. At this time, he heard some vague voices coming from outside the door. He didn't understand it at first, but after a while, Only then did he hear that it seemed that someone was knocking on the door.

Wait a moment?Slam the door?Sophia? 1 minute!

All of a sudden, all the things that happened before emerged vividly in his mind. He jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room. The corridor outside was dark. It was cold, and he couldn't help shivering, and the sound of the door slamming was still ringing.

Something seems wrong!Ivan thought instinctively that the corridor in front of him seemed a little different from the ones he had seen before, but for a while he couldn't tell what the difference was.

But the concern for his daughter's safety left him no time to think, and another very deep impression in his mind, 1 minute, he only had 1 minute.

He rushed to the iron door quickly, took out the key and unlocked the door, pulled open the iron door, and looked inside full of expectation.

He wanted to see Sophia's cute little face, but what he saw was a pair of strange golden eyes, just behind the door, looking straight at him, those eyes seemed to be With some kind of magical power, he couldn't move away when he looked at it. There seemed to be a lot of golden light in these eyes, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in a piece of golden sunlight, which was warm. Ivan felt himself His consciousness was blurring, and in a trance, he seemed to see Sophia running towards him with a smile. Ivan opened his hands happily, and he felt a strange stabbing pain in his chest, but he had no time to go Noticing it, he hugged Sophia, and his consciousness gradually dissipated in that piece of golden light.
