Chapter 72 Let's play a game
Ivan opened his eyes with a headache and felt his brain swelling. He shook his head and it took him a while to remember what had just happened.
Before, he and his daughter Sofia were having fun outside the wooden house in their hometown. Suddenly, he fell from the sky and took Sofia away. He was about to chase him, but he fainted by the other party's finger.
When he thought of Sophia, he hurriedly got up, but after looking around, his heart felt cold. In front of him was a dim little room, a small square table and two chairs, which was the interrogation room of the base.
He actually returned to the interrogation room of the base, and at this time he suddenly remembered that Sophia was already dead.
So, was it just a dream that happened just? He stood there sadly and confusedly. When he closed his eyes, Sophia's face was so clear. The scene of being with Sophia before was so real that it was hard for him to believe that it was just a dream. He sighed, stood up, and wanted to push open the door of the interrogation room, but he lowered his blood pressure and found that the door was completely locked.
At this time, 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. On the black screen, a cursor was constantly flashing.
Ivan looked at the computer in surprise. He really couldn't remember when there was another computer in the base. This computer seemed to be a product from the 1970s and 1980s. It had a huge ball screen display, a white and bulky chassis, and even the operating interface was a Dos interface, which was pitch black.
A line of text suddenly appeared on the computer.
【Hello - Ivan.】
Ivan looked around in surprise. What was going on? Why was the base under control?
He hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and sat down, his fingers hesitantly typing on the keyboard.
【Who are you?】
【It doesn’t matter who I am, what’s important is, do you want to find your daughter?】
Ivan was shocked when he saw it.
[Sophia? She is still alive? Isn’t the dream just now?]
[How could there be such a realistic dream? Is the happiness you play with with her fake? Of course she is still alive, but if you don't hurry up, she will die soon.]
Ivan felt unbelievable, but his nostalgia for his daughter still made him ask quickly.
【What do you want?】
【It's very simple, play a game with me, the rules of the game are like this, Next, I will open the door of the interrogation room, you will hear your daughter knocking on the door, you have three chances to find the right door, if you are wrong, you will be sent back to this room and start over, if you fail three times, then your daughter will die. In addition, the first time you have eight minutes to find that door, the second time four minutes, and the third time two minutes, this rule is very simple, right?
【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 has begun.]
With a creaking sound, the iron door of the interrogation room slowly opened.
At the same time, there seemed to be a knock on the door outside the door.
Ivan suddenly looked out the door, and for a few seconds, he rushed out of the door. The corridor outside was empty, with only the dim lights, which made the entire base look ghostly and silent. Only the sound of smashing the door kept ringing, and there was a faint cry of his daughter.
"Don't be anxious, Sophia, Dad is here!" Ivan shouted, running towards the direction where the sound came. The base was not big, so in the blink of an eye he ran outside the door where the sound of smashing the door was heard. However, at this moment, the sound of smashing the door suddenly disappeared. Ivan's heart sank, and he hurriedly opened the door, but there was nothing behind the door, only a dazzling white light, and then he lost consciousness.
"Where is this?" Ivan shook his head and straightened up. He felt a little drowsy. After a while, he realized that he seemed to have returned to the interrogation room.
It was still empty, the door was locked, and there was only the cursor on the computer, flashing.
[It seems that you failed Ivan, I have to say that it really disappointed me, but it doesn’t matter, the second time is about to start, remember, this time there are only four minutes left.]
Before Ivan would ask the other party, a creaking sound was made, and the iron door behind him opened again, and the sound of smashing the door sounded again, but this time the daughter's crying was much weaker.
Ivan did not dare to hesitate and rushed out hurriedly.
His eyes swept back and forth between the sides of the corridor, and he did not dare to make a sound, for fear that he would misjudge the source of the sound.
He was right, the knock on the door was at the fourth door on the right. While determining the source of the sound, he ran quickly and had already arrived at the door in the blink of an eye.
He opened the door, but there was still nothing behind the door, only dazzling white light.
Then the darkness in front of me, Ivan lost consciousness again.
He suddenly stood up from the table, as if the beast was half alert to scan the surroundings. 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, but it’s a pity, this time is your last chance, and the time limit is it? - only two minutes. If you fail again, then I’m afraid Sophia will die because of your incompetence.]
[No, you can't do this!] Ivan yelled at the computer, and after yelling twice, he remembered that the computer could not hear what he was saying. His thick fingers pounded clumsyly on the keyboard, but the computer did not respond at all. At the same time, the door of the interrogation room opened again.
He didn't dare to hesitate. Two minutes passed by. He rushed out of the door and soon came to the door where the sound of smashing the door was heard. This time he hesitated. The previous two failures left a shadow in his heart. What if he guessed wrong again? But time could no longer allow him to think too much. He gritted his teeth and opened the iron door hard, and then looked at the empty room behind the door in despair. No, it was not empty. There was a computer in that room, which was the old computer he had seen before.
He rushed into the room and searched around, and could not 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 fell powerlessly in front of the computer, bursting with tears.
a long time.
[Okay, for the sake of your love for your daughter so much, I will give you another last chance. As for the time limit, this time is only one minute, you have to seize it. This is your last chance to save Sophia, so don’t hesitate, don’t hesitate.]
【Remember, you only have one minute.】
【Remember, you only have one minute.】
【Remember, you only have one minute.】
The same sentence finally appeared three times on the screen.
The next second, Ivan lost consciousness again.
Ivan felt a split headache, as if he had drunk more than a dozen bottles of wine. His mind was drowsy, and even when he opened his eyes, he finally found the focal length. He saw the darkness around him. This is? Hey, it is my own room.
He suddenly sat up from the bed, and the violent movements made his brain dizzy and confused. At this time, he heard some vague sounds coming from outside the door. At first, he hadn't figured it out, but after a while, he realized that it seemed that someone was smashing the door.
Wait for a moment? Breaking the door? Sophia? One minute!
Suddenly, everything that happened before came to his mind was vividly revealed. He rolled and crawled out of the bed and rushed out of the room. The corridor outside was dim. He felt a chill because he was not wearing a coat. He couldn't help but tremble, and the sound of smashing the door was still ringing.
Something seemed wrong! Ivan instinctively thought that the corridor in front of him seemed a little different from what he had seen before, but for a moment he couldn't tell what was different.
But his concern for his daughter's safety made him have no time to think about it. Another very deep impression in his mind, one minute, he only has one minute.
He rushed to the iron door quickly, took out the key, opened the lock on the door, opened the iron door, and then looked inside with anticipation.
Chapter completed!
