Survivorship Bias

    Shen Ti slowly lowered his head, as if he suddenly felt an experience he had never had before, staring at An Wujiu's hand very freshly.

    Porcelain white, with small wounds and red marks from the gun handle, a thin and powerful hand.

    He found himself spending too much time observing An Wu Jiao.

    An Wujiu's fingers are going up along the raised ankle bone, almost reaching into the empty trousers, the dark depths are curious, as if a snake will slip out at any time, Or something else, entangled in his reckless hand.

    Finger stops.

    An Wu Jiu’s brain ached, and in a flash, his state changed without warning.

    Seeing that his fingers were on Shen Ti's ankles, making ambiguous movements, An Wu Jiu was startled, he retracted his hand very unnaturally, like a fast dodging rabbit.

    He wished he could not remember everything that happened before, but he remembered all of them, not just at this moment, but all the frivolous and slippery words he said to Shen Ti, outrageous things.

    For example, ask him for a kiss.

    Just when An Wujiu fell into remorse and was thinking about whether to apologize for his actions, the hand that was withdrawn was suddenly pulled over and held tightly.

    When he looked up, he met Shen Ti's eyes in a panic.

    An Wujiu took out his hand, stood up, and was somewhat restrained by the state between them.

    He thought and thought, and finally chose the default.

    “Let’s also look for clues.” An Wujiu has learned to make excuses, even though the excuses are very clumsy.

      forward.

    But after thinking of such a description in her heart, An Wujiu stopped.

    He didn't really want to get rid of it either.

    The mood behind Shen Ti suddenly rose to the extreme, the guy in front of him was arrogantly teasing for a second, and this second his ears were red and he couldn't speak.

    The initiative was suddenly reversed.

    He even thought that it might be more interesting if the extremes of An Wu Jiao could truly converge with each other and become a complete person.

    In this way, his bad and good are all his own will and controlled by him.

    Leisurely follow An Wujiao's footsteps, grabbing his shoulders, Shen Ti said to him in a lighthearted tone, "Do you still remember? Going back is not a good behavior."

    "The good thing is not to go back."

    "Yeah, the most dangerous little creature on this floor."

    Three combos, An Wujiu failed miserably and lost basic language skills.

    Totally pinched.

    "No fault!"

    Just when An Wujiu was most at a loss, when he heard Josh's cry, he immediately seemed to catch a life-saving straw.

    "I'm here." An Wujiu got rid of Shen Ti and walked quickly towards the source of the sound.

    Around a corner, he saw Josh, who was alone, and seemed to have found something. Hearing the movement, Josh turned his head and was about to see them, so he ran over very excitedly.

    "I found the cards!"

    Josh showed the cards in his hand to An Wujiu and Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti's first reaction was to look around, "Where are they?"

    "Did you say Wu You and Miss Yang? We walked left and right, and they went over there." Josh pushed the poker cards away one by one and showed them to them.

    There are six chapters in total, black diamonds 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and a ghost card.

    “Where did you find it?” An Wujiu asked while observing the cards.

    "Just around the corner, here is a discarded card box." Josh took out the old box he said, "There are just a few playing cards in it."

    An Wujiu nodded, "The black square 2 is missing here."

    Josh also nodded, he seemed to have found something, looked up at Shen Ti, winked at him, Shen Ti knew what he meant, and gave him the leftover lollipop Nod.

    Everyone has a tacit understanding that they can communicate without words.

    "I'm missing 2, I've made up for a trick..."

    An Wujiu murmured, picked up the ghost card again, and observed it carefully. This is a black and white imp, and the back is not much different from other cards.

    Is it a ghost card instead of 2.

     Touching the card face, he suddenly found that the middle part of the back of the card was a little sticky.

    Glue?

    Seeing that An Wujiu noticed the problem on the card surface, Josh also said, "This glue was glued to the card box at the beginning, almost didn't notice it, I looked at the light After a while, I found that there was a card inside."

    An Wujiu looked at the card box, there were indeed traces of something stuck inside.

    "The numbers here don't correspond to our job numbers, right?"

    Just as Josh finished asking, Wu You and Yang Erci came over from the other corner, just in time to turn with the three of them.

    “They didn’t bring Nan Shan and Zhong Yirou?” An Wujiu asked Josh with a card.

    "We put them in the southwest corner," Wu You finished, and added, "That Taoist priest himself said he could take care of Zhong Yirou."

    Indeed, it takes a lot of energy to hold it all the time.

    Gathering together, Wu You briefly explained the situation of the corridor they checked, there were only two doors, and they could not be opened yet.

    "The door says cards are needed."

    "Cards?" Josh showed surprise and handed them the cards in his hand, "Here is it! Is it this?"

    Several people communicated, and they all felt that there must be something strange about the missing number 2, but no more clues could be found for a while.

    “Let’s see if you can open that door with cards first.” An Wujiu suggested.

    They came to the door Wu You said, and saw Nan Shan meditating around the corner and Zhong Yirou who was still awake.

    Seeing the purple streak on Zhong Yirou's neck, An Wu Jiu vaguely felt that something was wrong.

      .

    Only a rectangular silver blank is left in the middle, which looks exactly in the shape of a playing card.

    "Try the ghost card first?" Josh handed it to them, "I feel that the ghost card should be a card with some kind of special ability."

    Yang Erci took it over and tried it, but there was no response from the door.

    Remembering that her job number is B05, Yang Erci asked Josh to get the black square 5, and leaned lightly on the sensor on the door.

    A voice came from the door, a metallic vocal.

    "Please reverse the card."

    Yang Erci felt strange, 5 was clearly coming. But she still followed the door's request, turned the card upside down, and pasted it on the blank space in the door.

    I thought the door would open, but it didn't.

    “What are our research goals?”

    The door asked them this question, but did not give any hint.

    Yang Erci tentatively entered a word: human.

    "Wrong answer! B05, you only have two chances to enter your password!"

    The lights in the entire corridor flickered and suddenly went out. After about three seconds, the corridor lit up and then went out again. An Wu Jiu paid special attention to the countdown in his field of vision, after about three seconds, the room lights up again.

    “Morse code.” An Wujiu reminded Yang Erci, “Try to see the law of extinguishing.”

    Yang Erci decisively broke off a section of the vine on the door, and used the plant sap oozing from the section to draw two short horizontal lines of the same horizontal line on the wall.

    The light in the room quickly went out, but this time it went out for a very short time, only less than a second, and it quickly turned on again. Yang Erci quickly clicked a dot on the wall, just after the short horizontal line.

    The room lights up again, there is not much difference in the physical sensation from before, but An Wujiu deliberately observed the number of seconds of the lighting time, it was 2 seconds, if he remembered correctly, go to One time is 1 second.

    After it lights up, the room goes out again, and the time it goes out this time is less than one second, which is a short time out.

    In other words, the rules that have appeared so far are:

    Long off, one second on, long off, one second on, short off, two seconds on,

    Short off.

    After a second, the room lights come on again.

    In this way, Yang Erci recorded the obtained results according to the law of the length of time when the lights in the corridor were extinguished, and the green mucus was attached to the wall to form a line of ciphertext sequence.

    [--..-..]

    "There are many possibilities." Yang Erci said, "The two horizontal lines are M, but if you count the next point, it can be G, and if you add another point, it is Z."

    Josh was confused by what she said, "What MGZ?"

    "Morse code is a combination of strokes and dots instead of letters." Yang Erci explained to him.

    "My fault, I only said about turning off, and I didn't let you pay attention to the time it lights up." An Wujiu also broke down a vine and drew a few diagonal lines on her ciphertext sequence. bar as a separator.

    [--././-./.]

    "The lighting time is one second or two seconds, but the two seconds appear less frequently, and the two seconds lighting should be used as the separator."

    An Wujiu spoke calmly and calmly, the emotions on his face did not show too much turbulence. It was only at this time that Wu You reacted with hindsight.

     "Brother Wu blame, you are back again."

    An Wujiu smiled, "I said something before that offended everyone, don't take it to heart, just think I was drunk and talking nonsense."

    Josh quickly waved his hand, but Shen Ti laughed from behind.

    Hearing Shen Ti's laughter, An Wujiu wanted to turn around and restrained it.

    He just wanted to embarrass him at such a time.

    An Wujiu cleared his throat unnaturally and focused on the ciphertext.

    Yang Erci has taken the lead in deciphering it, "The four separated parts are G, E, N, E. Gene."

    “Genes?” An Wujiu thought of the question just now, it was about the research goal.

    It makes sense.

    “Will it be a little simpler?” An Wujiu asked.

    "If you don't understand Morse code at all, you shouldn't be able to figure it out." Wu You said, probably feeling a little cold, and subconsciously put his two hands in his sleeves. .

    Then he suddenly thought that this was Nanshan's habitual movement, so he put his hand down and threw it a few times in disgust.

    Yang Erci entered the result.

    But as Ann expected, the result was wrong.

    "Wrong answer! B05, you only have one chance to enter your password!"

    Yang Erci suddenly realized something, "Should it be reversed? Just like the square 5 just now."

    But even if she thought of such a possibility, she did not dare to try it lightly.

    There is only one last chance.

    An Wujiu frowned, staring at that sequence without speaking.

      .

    "The number of seconds on is meaningful, but what about the number of seconds off?"

    "Three seconds." An Wujiu suddenly thought of something, "What if it is a shift? It's the same as the second floor."

    Yang Erci was a little restrained by the wrong answer last time, "Is it shifted three times? What if it is not?"

    "It seems that the small level here rarely has three input opportunities, it is very likely that it is prepared for this kind of thinking, if it is an answer that can be obtained once, it will not set three chances ."

    "I'll add one point." Shen Ti raised his hand, "The research project here, I will automatically default to the project that cannot be seen. In this case, it should be rarely researched The target is set directly to the password, which is too easy to expose.”

    Yang Erci pondered for a moment and decided to follow An Wujiu's idea, after all, this is the result of considering the number of seconds to turn off and the number of seconds to turn on, and it is relatively more comprehensive.

    "If each letter is shifted backwards, it's...JHQH." Yang Erci thought for a while, "Reverse it, it's HQHJ."

    Wu You put both hands in his lab coat pockets, "Lose, it's just a chance anyway."

    Yang Erci entered the result.

    Two seconds later.

    "Welcome back, B05! There is a problem with the power transposition mechanism at the fourth corner of this floor, which needs external pressure, please deal with it!"

    "Otherwise, the system will not function properly and will not open the lab door for you."

    "Processing countdown: 60 seconds, starting now."

    At the moment when the prompt sound ended, the entire room was completely plunged into darkness, and this time it never lit up again. A huge red countdown appeared above their heads, decreasing every second.

    "Wait, external pressure?" Josh's voice was a little flustered, "There are no heavy objects here."

    Indeed, this floor is emptier and cleaner than the other floors, and there is not even a fire hydrant in sight.

    In a hurry, they also walked around the corner.

    "No heavy objects..." Shen Ti was not anxious at all, walking at the end like the tail of a crane.

    It's even a little condescending, "Then it's better to employ people."

    Speaking, he jumped twice on purpose, "It's heavy enough."

    "Isn't it?" Wu You whispered, "Silly big..."

    The moment Shen Ti finished speaking, Yang Erci, who was walking at the front, saw a green square on the ground at the corner where Nan Shan and Zhong Yirou were.

    With 40 seconds left, she immediately ran to the next corner. In the darkness, she saw a new square, which was red.

    An Wujiu had already told Wu You at this time, "Do you want to be in the room or outside the room?"

    Wu You quickly replied, "I will follow your arrangement."

    An Wujiu thought for a while and arranged Wu You outside, "Come over, stand on the southeast corner."

    Wu You did not say a word and ran towards the corner An Wujiu said.

    They heard Yang Erci's voice, "It's a man! Bring Zhong Yirou over here!"

    Josh responded with a sound, went straight over to help Zhong Yirou who was leaning against the wall, and supported An Wujiu to the corner where Yang Erci was.

    It is a red square.

    But as soon as Zhong Yirou stepped on it, the square turned green.

    "I tried it, someone must stand here, otherwise it will be red, which should be the external pressure just prompted." Yang Erci said.

    One more to go, the four of them rushed over.

    Yang Erci said directly, "I'll stay here."

    "Although you are very dedicated," Shen Ti glanced at the countdown with only ten seconds left, "but you definitely can't, you are someone with authority on this floor."

    "Me." Josh took the initiative to stand up, and the description of the countdown suddenly paused.

    "Shen Ti is right, Miss Yang, you can't move at will if you stay here. I'm not very good at solving puzzles, so I can at least play a role here."

    "Alright then." Yang Erci had no other choice.

    The lights in the room didn't come on, just a new beep.

    "Done?"

    Yang Erci responded: "Yes, it's over."

    "Okay, B03, please go to the genetic laboratory. One thing please note that the power transposition system must maintain operation. Even if there is a fault for one second, irreversible consequences may occur."

    The people on their four corners are not allowed to leave.

    "Be careful." Yang Erci specifically instructed Josh.

    "Okay, I just have a little hair in my heart." Josh said honestly, "It's a little dark here, and it happens to be the four corners, which reminds me of a certain weird supernatural game, which happens to be It takes four people to stand in the four corners, but you don't need to move..."

    "Don't be afraid." Yang Erci said, "No matter how scary it is, I have seen it on the first few floors. Our communicator should still work. If there is anything, find a way to contact us."

    "Um...you guys come out quickly."

    The three of them followed the prompt and returned to the genetic laboratory just now. The door full of vines creaked and opened by itself.

    It was also dark inside, and Yang Erci walked in front.

    After Shen Ti was the last to enter, the door slammed shut.

    An Wujiu turned his head and saw Shen Ti's body was stiff like a cat's frizz.

    I don't know if I'm really scared, or I'm just making a fuss about the supernatural game that Josh just mentioned.

    "Scared me." Shen Ti touched his chest and faked it to An Wujiu's side.

    "You have to protect me, I still owe you a favor."

    --------------------

    The author has something to say:

    Yang Erci: I was speechless, and I was locked with the two male address books.

    Morse code is actually super simple, that is, the letters are represented by - and . If there is a specific Morse table, you can search it and you will understand.

    The light in the text is off for a long time to represent -, and the light is off for a short time.

    The extinguishing time is 3 seconds, and then a shift is made with 3, and G moves three times to become J like this
