    A historical research piece, written in the purest Tang Dynasty style, a feast of wits and a deep well of human nature. A friend threw down his book and declared, "The End of Ten Days is the pinnacle of escape room games." I stroked the Tang Code on my desk and sneered, "What's so special about a fictional escape room? Look at the 108 wards of Chang'an; aren't they a natural labyrinth?" "The dark style of 'The End of Ten Days' is also a pinnacle," my friend said, tapping the table. I dipped my brush in ink and wrote, "The darkest place in the world is the human heart—court intrigue is like a hidden arrow, and street scheming is like a poisoned needle." My friend scoffed, "'The End of Ten Days' follows the rules; you can only pass by finding the key." I pushed aside the inkstone, creating ripples, and handed over the manuscript, "In this living, breathing world, what key is there? Only by breaking the rules can you survive tonight." Outside the window, the water clock dripped into the night of the Tang Dynasty. A friend flipped through the manuscript and suddenly burst into laughter: "How wonderful! When a fictional locked room collides with the darkness of a prosperous era, who can say for sure which time-space game is closer to the abyss of human nature?"
