Xu Ziyue rubbed his eyes, making them even redder. When he looked up again, the projection had already been taken back by the system.
"What did you just put that for me?" Xu Ziyue's voice was slightly nasal, although it was not very obvious.
"system error."
Xu Ziyue stared into the void with red eyes, "You did it on purpose?"
The system remained silent and did not answer.
Xu Ziyue sat cross-legged in the system space for a while, and when the sad feeling slowly subsided, he patted his face hard, cheered himself up, and regained his strength.
Xu Ziyue didn't ask what the puppet would do next, not because he didn't want to ask, but because he didn't dare to ask. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will regret it... Although he has regretted it very much now.
Xu Ziyue cheered up and said, "Start the game."
"Confirm to start the game."
"Choose Chapter - The Chamber of Secrets: Hard difficulty."
As soon as the system's voice fell, Xu Ziyue fell asleep. There was a sound like an electric current in the system space, and the white space turned dark at that moment.
Xu Ziyue sat up with his forehead covered, and then found that his other hand was numb by himself. He sat at the long table, hugging his arms, the facial features on his face were wrinkled, and there seemed to be thousands of millions on his arms. The feeling of an ant crawling over was so crisp and numb that he didn't dare to move.
"The number of players in this game is unknown. The scope of strategy: except the players, participate in all the NPCs in the castle."
Xu Ziyue: "???" What's the situation
Xu Ziyue looked up and saw that he was sitting in a very common board game shop with an open envelope in his hand, and a few boxes of card games were placed on the table in front of him. There were also different people sitting, and they were all in exactly the same situation as themselves.
- Just woke up and didn't know anything.
And among these people, there is no longer the green cursor that Xu Ziyue is about to get used to.
In previous games, all players would have a small green cursor above their heads, but this game doesn't.
With the intelligence of the NPCs in this game, as long as the opening identities are not particularly special, and the NPCs themselves don't say it, no one will know that they are NPCs.
This can't even find the target of the strategy, how can he play and fall!
Xu Ziyue looked at the envelope at hand, and took out the letter from inside.
[Dear Xu Ziyue:
Hi! I'm the founder of the Chamber of Secrets Game Lovers League. This time I set up a large secret room, please come and experience it.
your friend founder stay]
Xu Ziyue raised his head and looked at other people who were reading the letter just like him.
Still can't tell who is the player and who is the NPC.
So his game is not only about attacking people, but also to find such a person first
Suddenly, the familiar sound of the system sounded in the board game store, but what he said was not about Xu Ziyue's game.
Just when Xu Ziyue was thinking about how to go about his routine, a woman came over.
She generously distributed the folders in her hand to all the people sitting, "Hello everyone, I am the founder of the Chamber of Secrets Lovers Alliance who called everyone here, and the folders I am sending you are Please wait for the ID card after entering the secret room. With this card, you will know your identity in the secret room. At that time, please be sure to do according to the identity tasks inside, and do not fail to perform what you should do as your own identity. , otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Ah, yes, I don't participate in the secret room. If you need it, you can tell me to the surveillance. But you can't come out in advance, even if you can't solve the puzzle, unless we meet at the end At the start of the stipulated time, you can only wait inside."
Although the woman's words were not very clear, players who played escape games would never think about the consequences of testing the rules.
"What's our time limit?"
Xu Ziyue heard someone ask.
"How can you be so oblivious. This is a large-scale escape room, and of course it can't be finished in a few hours. But if someone solves the puzzle first, it's another story... But the longest time is ten days."
Xu Ziyue got his ID card.
There was an identification card in the file bag to prove himself. It was something about the size of a bank card, with "Delivery Boy" written on one side and "Player" written on the other side.
This "player"... is the player who plays the secret room game, or the player who plays the escape game
If it was an escape game, wouldn't he know the identity of the other person as long as he found their ID card
Xu Ziyue just finished thinking, the ID card in his hand was taken away.
The woman who claimed to be the founder of the Secret Room Lovers Alliance looked at Xu Ziyue with a smile, and then took away everyone else's ID cards.
"One side of this ID card is your identity, that is, your occupation, and the other side is to tell others whether this person is a prisoner in the secret room." The woman put the recovered ID card in another document. Bag, "Every day in the secret room game, a player will be eliminated by the 'prisoner'. When he is eliminated, his ID card will appear in his room, and the surviving player can go to the eliminated player's room to find this identity. Cards to see if they are prisoners. Of course, players who are not prisoners can also vote for players they think are prisoners."
"If the voting result is correct, the game time will be reduced by six hours. If the voting result is wrong, the game time will be increased by six hours. As for the chance to vote... You will only have one chance to vote after a player has been eliminated by the prisoner."
"But it's up to everyone to find the way to find the culprit."
Xu Ziyue listened to the series in a dizzy manner, and then he sighed when he heard others tell the woman to say it again, and sure enough, it wasn't that he didn't understand the process alone.
But after listening to it a few times, it probably became clearer.
To put it simply, there are a total of 21 people here, except for the woman, there are real escape game players, and there are NPCs who arrange escape games. But these real NPCs have a secret room gamer identity in this world.
These NPCs must be the ones who got the "prisoner" ID cards, because only in this way can the NPCs make this superficial secret room game into a real escape game.
So the NPC who got the "criminal" ID card will take action.
And the players of the escape game don't know who is the companion, who is the NPC... They doubt each other and don't trust each other.
For Xu Ziyue, it was a very good environment. Because that way, he doesn't have to cater to the team.
When the secret room game is unlocked, it should also be the end of the escape game. And the end of the escape game depends on everyone voting out the NPC together.
But NPCs themselves have tickets.
Xu Ziyue observed a second of silence for the players in the escape game crew. This is simply more brutal than werewolf killing. Because there are no police officers who can verify their identities, they are eliminated, that is, they are really eliminated by the whole world, and there is no life.
Finally, Xu Ziyue took out the identity task in the folder where the identity card was placed before.
This is something that must be done to perform role-playing, otherwise some bad things may happen if you don't listen to what the woman says.
Although Xu Ziyue was from the Raiders game crew next door, he didn't think it was too unusual, so he opened the identity task card very nervously.
[You are a delivery boy, you are just delivering ingredients to people who have hired you to deliver goods for a long time, and you ended up trapped in the old castle.]
[In the days of being trapped, you have nothing to do all day long, waiting for others to crack the way to leave.]
…
…
…
what is this! Is this salted fish-like daily life your own task! ! ! Such a big piece of A3 paper! Two lines of words are written on the front and back pages! Are you worthy of your paper money!
After Xu Ziyue felt deeply speechless, he suddenly woke up.
In this way, isn't it extremely easy for oneself
Then he doesn't need to do anything special in the secret room? Find a way to find a good-looking NPC strategy to succeed, talk about a love without breaking up!
Ah... I shouldn't encounter a boss or something in this game
Xu Ziyue was not too confident.
Then he tried to find someone who stood out among these people, but because the lights in the board game shop were so dim for some reason, and there were screens on both sides not far from him, and between the most left and right tables, Therefore, Xu Ziyue did not succeed in seeing everyone's appearance.
The woman who claimed to be the founder of the Secret Room Lovers Alliance, referred to as Mitron for short, said: "After that, please come to the locker room here with me, and then change into your identity clothes."
Are the secret rooms so powerful now? Scenarios and plots are arranged, identity tasks are arranged, and even everyone's clothes are arranged.
Xu Ziyue took the clothes that was given to him, but without looking at it, he chose a dressing room to change clothes. Because everyone doesn't know the identity of the people around them, this time the game is extraordinarily quiet, and all the players have not tried to form a group.
Because it is very likely that you are not holding a group, but an NPC who is always sharpening a knife to the player.
Xu Ziyue opened the clothing bag in the locker room, which was a navy blue overalls, a yellow short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of white sneakers.
Xu Ziyue put on his upper body and looked at the mirror in the dressing room...
Hey, don't say, this outfit makes Xu Ziyue feel as if he is a few years younger.
Looks a bit like an underage high school student...
It's actually pretty much the same as him, but it just looks a little bit more **.
Then out of the locker room, the Mitron woman lined up Xu Ziyue and the others in the order they entered the secret room, and let them go in one by one.
Xu Ziyue stood last, and with him was a trailer board full of ingredients.
Xu Ziyue: What kind of ancient castle secret room is this
The author has something to say: I have been tangled for a long time whether it is "the secret room castle" or "the secret room of the ancient castle"
Brain hurts.
Then I updated it today... 46 coins, but I still didn't watch it for a few minutes.
The puppets will still appear, don't worry, don't worry [I'll try to remember, because there's no outline... It's possible to forget it]
But I have a good idea of where I can play.
