Chapter 124 - 118: Narrative Cage (8)
"Here’s the corn juice you wanted." Through the narrow slot of the partition, Li Cheng tossed a can of drink into the cell.
Gray Rain, still reading the newspaper, didn’t even look up. She caught the can, which was still beaded with condensation, with one hand, popped it open with a snap, and took a big gulp, letting out a satisfying "Ah~".
"This is what I call life." She said, shaking her head, "What do you want to ask?"
Li Cheng was well-prepared for this question. He immediately took out the pink children’s backpack and the crayon drawing, asking, "Three questions. First, have you ever seen this backpack?
Second, the specific conditions of each room.
Third, has anyone ever successfully escaped from here before?"
The laser traps and gravity-sensing floor in the Reversal Room were precisely inhibitive to the Bat Hook Claw Gun, and the 5∑ coins in the children’s backpack were exactly enough to buy a can of corn juice that Gray Rain wanted; it was hard not to suspect that these elements were generated on the fly specifically for Li Cheng.
"First of all, I haven’t seen this backpack. Secondly, besides the Prison Director’s Room, there are five rooms: Flashback, Coherence, Reversal, Mislead, Protagonist Effect. All employ reality distortion engines and narrative lattice array technology, generating traps and content in the rooms based on the Escapee’s life experiences."
Gray Rain explained while sipping the corn juice, "Among them, Flashback Room’s effect is to jump to the Escapee’s past or future, including a past even the Escapee themselves may not know about.
