This short novel was inspired by

Escape games

The first thing I saw was darkness and the first thing I heard was the sound of falling rain. This was one day after I moved to live at my uncle and aunt's house.

I took a moment to adjust my eyes to the darkness before turning to look at the clock on the wall. It read 6:00 a.m.

Because the rain clouds blocked the sun, it made the outside atmosphere seem like it was still nighttime.

[Turn on the lights a little brighter]

I got out of bed and walked over to the light switch that was posted near the door.

There are two light switches. The left one is the light switch with a balcony icon. The right switch is a light switch with a bed icon.

I pressed the right light switch.

Click!

"Sigh... Please help me a little. But what about the clothes that were hung up to dry yesterday?"

I walked towards the balcony door but it was locked.

So I turned the knob clockwise, followed by a 'click!' sound. As I walked onto the deck, I saw the clothes I had hung to dry on the floor.

Looks like I'm going to have to do some new laundry.

I brought all the clothes into the house. Go straight to the bedroom door and go downstairs.

But if it's locked

[You must find the key to open this room.]

I went to check the drawer but couldn't find the key. So I moved to check at the desk and couldn't find the key.

Where did I put the key?

I thought for a moment before I saw a small pillow lying next to the bed. So I picked it up and reached into the pillowcase. My bedroom key is hidden in here.

I used the bedroom key to unlock the bedroom door. And don't forget to carry your phone with you for necessities.

"Why is the house so dark?"

After I leave the bedroom I found that it was completely dark outside the room. So I took out my phone and opened the flashlight app. Before walking to the light switch next to the upstairs bathroom and Uncle and Auntie's bedroom.

I turn on the light switch

Click!

Here we can walk down the stairs safely.

I walked into the bathroom where the washing machine was. I picked up two baskets to separate the colored and white clothes. Then put the clothes to be washed into the machine. But there was no detergent left.

[Got to find detergent]

I was about to walk out of the house and buy detergent at the store. But it turned out that the main door of the house was locked and it was drizzling outside.

"What is this?"

Then I glanced at a yellow notepad. So I picked it up and read it.

To Khaira

Uncle and aunt have to run errands outside the house. will come back tomorrow

I wonder if there's any detergent left?

I went back to the bathroom and opened the locker to find some scissors and detergent.

So I took both out. Then I used scissors to cut the detergent packet and put it in the washing machine with the clothes.

After washing, take out the finished laundry.

"Sigh, finally finished washing--"

Suddenly the light went out.

"Huh? Why is the power suddenly going out?"

I took out my phone again and opened the flashlight app to brighten up the surroundings.

Followed by the sound of thunder and lightning.

My uncle used to say that there was a cellar under the stairs. And in the basement there is a backup generator. for in case of emergency

[Go to the basement and turn on the backup generator.]

I walked under the stairs and saw many things standing in front of the door.

I took things apart one by one before finding so much dust that I couldn't take them apart. I had to use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all this dust and it felt like the vacuum cleaner was placed in the bathroom upstairs.

I walked upstairs and turned left. which has a bathroom located

When I walked into the bathroom I was shocked because there were cockroaches around the vacuum cleaner. If you don't get rid of cockroaches I also can't pick up the vacuum cleaner.

I turned to see soap and a water ladle. So I picked up a ladle and turned on the water. From the water, take a bar of soap and put it into the water.

When I got the soapy water poured it around the cockroaches, causing them to all run away and disappear.

So I picked up the vacuum cleaner and walked downstairs. before picking up a portable power plug and plugging it into the back plug Then plug it into the vacuum cleaner.

Phew!

The vacuum cleaner sucked up all the dust and found the door to the basement, but it was locked.

I looked down at the floor and saw the door key under the doorway. So I picked it up and unlocked the door. Walking in, I saw a generator in the middle of the room.

I walked in and turned on the generator and found all 5 wires tangled.

So I grabbed a pair of gloves from the shelf and put them on. And unplug each wire before noticing that each wire has its own color. Same as the power plug.

and a few seconds The light came back on as bright as before.

Every now and then I feel hungry. So I walked into the kitchen and found a piece of strawberry cake. I went to the fork holder to get a fork but there was no fork. And when I walked to the sink, I found the whole sink full of dishes/bowl.

[It looks like I have to wash all the dishes/bowl first]

I bent down and picked up dishwashing liquid and Scotchbrite and washed the dishes one by one.

And after washing the dishes, he put them back in their original places. and found a spoon at the bottom of the sink

“Next time I have to wash the dishes. Have a bowl often."

I picked up the fork. When finished cleaning, use it to cut the cake and eat it.

"Eating cake after doing housework is really nice."

After eating the cake I took the dishes to wash and there appeared a 5-digit code which was Roman numerals. And on the back is a picture of a cute dog.

These are the Roman numerals on the plate.'

V_II_II_V_I'

Maybe try searching in

Goggles

You may be able to know what each number is.

So I picked up my phone again and took a picture of the Roman numerals on the plate.

The result came out as a number: 52251.

So I opened my laptop and entered a 5-digit code.

Once logged in The screen suddenly appeared with the faces of Uncle and Auntie's dogs wearing collars labeled '.

Odie'

and another screen shows the coordinates.

gps

which is located outside of the house

Showing that this is the coordinates of the dog that the uncle and aunt raised. So I went to the front door again and tried to look outside and saw the dog sleeping under the front roof.

Not far away was an empty rice bowl.

[Perhaps give it some food. It might give us the key.]

I walked to the kitchen again to find a bag of dog food. and found a cabinet with a padlock on it To unlock, you must enter a 4-character code.

The lock has an image of a dog engraved on it.

So I put in 4 letters the names of my uncle and aunt's dogs:

Odie

padlock unlock I took out a bag of dog food and poured it into the food bowl.

Odie

The dog ran out and ate all the food in the bowl.

Then he walked over and licked my hand. I got the moment and took the key from his collar.

But it's not the door key.

Maybe this was the key to Uncle and Auntie's bedroom.

So I quickly walked upstairs. Use the key to unlock Uncle and Auntie's room immediately. And then opened the door to the room Walk inside and turn on the light switch to brighten the room.

I saw a pair of picture frames of my uncle and aunt sitting on the drawer. I picked it up and turned it over to see that there was a key on the back of the picture frame.

I took out the key and checked what it was. I walked over to the closet and tried using the key to unlock it.

Click!

I opened the closet and saw a piece of paper in my breast pocket. When I unfolded the paper It appeared to be blank paper.

Suddenly, the sky rumbled and the lights in the room went out completely, leaving only the dim light from outside. When I walked out of the room to investigate, I found that the whole house was completely dark.

It looks like the power from the backup generator has run out.

[I need to find the house key and get out of here.]

I saw that there was a lamp on the drawer, but there was no light bulb. I looked down at the bottom of the drawer and found a light bulb.

So I picked it up and put the bulb in the lamp. When the switch is pressed open

Click!

The lamp turned on and the light hit the drawer table. I looked at the paper one more time before exposing it to the light.

There appeared to be a diagram of this bedroom.

This indicates that this paper was written on with an invisible pen. I looked closely at the diagram and saw a key icon written on the canvas. The right side is next to the bed.

That is the closet.

I looked up and saw a box. But it's too high.

I looked around and saw a folding ladder in the corner of the room. Suddenly, the power from my phone gradually became weaker. It's a sign that the battery is about to run out.

Without waiting, I quickly used the folding ladder to climb up and pick up the box that was on the back of the closet. When I opened the box, I found a golden key.

That is the key to this house.

"It's time to get out of here!"

I said to myself and hurriedly walked downstairs and towards the door of the house. Use the golden key you got to unlock the door of the house.

Add!

I can leave the house now.

After that, I sat in front of the house with

Odie

A cute dog listens to the sound of rain and the sound of a siren announcing that it will take a long time for the electricity to be restored. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Therefore, during this time I'd like to sit and watch the rain with my dog ​​for now.
