Just as Mallory turned around and was about to walk out the door, he turned around and found a dozen wax figures behind him gathered by the door, densely arranged to block his way and looking at him together.
Some of them had snacks in their hands, others had glasses of wine in their hands, and their faces still wore the same polite, yet eerie smile they had when they attended the party.
This kind of smile makes Mallory's back very some chills.
He felt that he should not have entered this room so presumptuously, let alone rashly made a move on these wax figures.
Everything that happened here seemed to have gone beyond his perception of the real world.
It was even more outrageous than the incident where he somehow appeared on top of the thousand-meter stone pillar.
"Coming through."
Mallory stiffened his head and continued to walk towards the gate.
But these wax figures did not want to move aside, they all moved closely together and blocked Mallory's way.
"Excuse me, everyone."
Mallory walked up to the wax figure, arched his hand to the wax figure, and then held the waist of one of the wax figures, trying to move it to the side, leaving space for one person to enter and exit.
As a result, this wax figure was fixed on the ground, no matter how hard Mallory pushed, it did not move at all.
The other wax figures could not be moved either.
The door of this hall was opened inward, and more than a dozen wax figures blocked the door, blocking the door completely, so they could not open the door without moving.
Mallory at this time, even if forced to go over their heads are meaningless, still can not leave this increasingly bizarre-looking room.
Trying to force his way out was impossible, so it seemed he had to try a smart way out.
Mallory turned around and walked deeper into the hall.
After walking for a while, he suddenly turned back.
The wax figures by the door were still motionless and had no intention of leaving.
Mallory tried to calm himself down and then looked around.
Wax museum ... Let's call this place a wax museum. On the walls of the wax museum, like the restaurant, clothing store and bath center, there are also clocks and LCD screens showing the countdown.
The time now is already eleven and a quarter past noon.
The countdown time is only 40 minutes or so left.
Mallory felt that the situation was not very good.
After the countdown, what will happen?
If he is trapped here and can't get out, he may be in a lot of trouble then.
This wax museum is actually a secret room with some kind of mechanism set up?
Did he attack the wax figure and cause the mechanism to activate?
It feels like staying on the street when the countdown ends should be better than being trapped in this wax museum.
At least there is room to escape.
Being trapped here would be to wait for death.
In any case, he had to find a way out of here as soon as possible.
...
The hall looks like the scene of a cocktail party, with dozens of guests spread out all over the hall.
There were various drinks and snacks on the tables, as well as tableware and so on.
But in addition to tableware, drinks and snacks touch like a model, made very realistic model.
In addition, what attracted Mallory's attention was the large wall paintings hanging on the four walls.
When Mallory entered the hall earlier, his attention was all on the wax figures, and he did not notice the wall paintings.
Now trapped, he had to look for the room unlocking mechanism, these very conspicuous large wall paintings naturally attracted his attention.
These large wall paintings ... look a lot like movie posters.
Or rather, movie posters.
However, the titles of those films, but Mallory had not heard of.
For example, this wall painting in front of you.
The film is called "Rampage Tsunami".
Half of the whole picture are more than ten meters high giant waves.
The other half of the picture is the beach, there are several men and women on the beach, they are looking at the waves sweeping in front of them with great fear, some are stunned, some are wearing life jackets, and some desperately running to get the picture in the corner of the life preserver.
One of them was facing the camera, giving a full face close-up.
Mallory looked at this person's face felt some familiarity.
After a few moments Mallory suddenly remembered, he hurriedly turned back to look at the door.
The camera gave a full face, it is a dozen wax figure of a man guarding the door!
The look was exactly the same, and the clothes he was wearing were exactly the same.
"Is there a connection here?" Mallory frowned.
After looking at the time on the wall clock, Mallory hurriedly looked at the other wall painting next to him.
The title of the film in this wall painting was a bit odd.
The name is "Hail".
The content of the wall painting is a bit frightening.
Countless hailstones fell from the sky, and there were some men and women on the ground.
Some people are desperate to look at the sky, some people are frantically fleeing into the distance.
But the head of one of them happened to be hit by a falling basketball-sized hailstorm, and the whole head was smashed away, while the hail appeared where the person's head was originally located, and the lower half was completely dipped into red.
"This is obviously a head swap, which is what hail?" Mallory looked at this painting and couldn't help but spit out a few words.
In the painting "Hail", there is also a person facing the camera.
Mallory had little recollection of this person, and he turned back to have a quick look around the hall, and was not able to find this person.
Time is limited, Mallory also dare not look carefully, he hurriedly looked at the next painting.
The name of this painting is "Evil Fire Magic City".
The picture is a city streets, everywhere is a burning fire, some men and women are frantically fleeing the streets, a few have been on fire.
What's more horrifying is that there are scattered gasoline barrels stacked next to the street.
One of the women was unlucky, she was running away when she passed by a gasoline barrel that had just caught fire and was about to explode, the barrel's tongue of fire transformed into the appearance of the devil, two sharp claws to the woman wrapped around the past, it is clear that the woman had no possibility of escape.
The other paintings on the wall, as well as these, are all kinds of disasters.
Volcanic eruptions, avalanches, air crashes, earthquakes and so on.
Soon Mallory found a common feature in these paintings.
That is, these paintings inside the characters, although different ages, gender, but the number is all eight.
Some paintings inside a person facing the camera to give a close-up, some have two or three people facing the camera to give a close-up. In addition to the man at the beginning, Mallory also found several other figures that appeared in the paintings among the wax figures.
Twenty minutes have passed in the countdown and it is now eleven thirty-five minutes.
Twenty-five minutes to go before the countdown ends.
What other connection is there between these paintings besides the fact that they all contain eight people?
Why did the wax figure in the wax museum move by itself and seal the door?
Earlier when Mallory was in the bathroom, he heard footsteps on the street outside.
Before entering the wax museum, he also heard footsteps in the wax museum.
This means that there is not only a motionless wax figure in this room, but also a living person like Mallory.
If the other living person was a normal human being like Mallory, he could not have moved these wax figures.
It is even more impossible to move so many wax figures at the same time without making any sound.
Unless ...
Mallory felt that something was wrong and he snapped his head back.
All the wax figures in the room turned around and looked in his direction.
Some had snacks in their hands, some had glasses of wine in their hands.
All of them had that very strange smile on their faces.
