Jensen adjusted his VR goggles. They never seemed to fit
him quite right. He studied the map that projected from
his
wrist onto nothing but virtual airspace. One or perhaps
two pieces were still out of position to his southeast,
preventing him from proceeding to the 9th level map.
He cursed.
The first few levels had been easy. The next
few were slightly challenging. But this one had way too
many squares way out of position, and he thought he had
the solution already. Now he'd have to rework several.
He pushed and pulled virtual walls, turned the virtual crank
handles, and slid room pieces sideways for another 15
minutes until finally the whole maze glowed red a bit,
indicating it was solved.
"That’s odd, for the other levels, they all glowed bluish
after completion," Jensen thought.
Removing his goggles for a minute, he grabbed his
smartphone and scanned the completed barcode, which
directed his phone and VR headset when he put it back on
to...
Prison. The start of the game.
"MUWHAA HA HA HA HA! YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT! YOU
SHOULD'VE CHECKED THE NORTHWEST CORNER MORE
CAREFULLY! SORRY JENSEN, YOU LOSE!"
