At this point in the story, the plot begins to take a sharp turn.
Miss Wan, who had promised to marry, died mysteriously before Dashuai Jiang came to pick her up on the night of the wedding, and Dashuai Jiang was furious.
Although Miss Wan was going to die in his plan, but Marshal Jiang's plan was to let Miss Wan marry in with the memorial tablet, and after the wedding was completed, he would personally sacrifice her to his only son who died tragically. But I didn't expect that the person would die before getting on the sedan chair.
Naturally, the Lin family couldn't hand over a living Miss Wan, and many people even suspected that Marshal Jiang sent someone to kill Miss Wan.
Next, even more bizarre things began to happen.
Marshal Jiang suddenly became seriously ill, and he couldn't afford it, and then people in the Lin family began to encounter accidents one after another, but within a month, more than half of them were killed or injured. The Lin family, which was already on the verge of collapse under the persecution of Jiang Dashuai, was about to collapse in a blink of an eye, and only the third young master and his wife were left to support the Lin family.
The third young master is Miss Wan's brother. Unlike other relatives in the Lin family, he is Miss Wan's closest relative. When his younger sister died tragically and everyone in the Lin family had accidents one after another, the third young master invited his classmates and friends to help him to investigate from the perspective of an outsider.
This is the role played by the players.
The old lady of the Lin family, that is, Miss Wan and the grandmother of the third young master are old and bedridden because of family affairs. The third young master and his wife are serving by their side, which is why the third young master did not come to receive the guests in person.
"The third young master invites you to treat this place as your own home. After the old lady goes to bed at night, the third young master will come to have dinner with you, and then we will catch up with you." The butler said so, and ordered the maids to take Let the player choose a room and leave.
As soon as the butler left, several men got together and started a small meeting.
"So our main task is to investigate the cause of Miss Wan's death?" He Meng concluded.
"Not necessarily," Liu Zhe, the tall and slender programmer who had been the flag before, shook his head: "There must be something else going on here, otherwise you think, Miss Wan agreed to marry because of her family, why did she die? After the incident, it was the Lin family who took revenge first? It stands to reason that she should protect the Lin family from harming General Jiang."
"Fuck, Zhaidou?" Another curly-haired boy suddenly realized.
Several people figured it out for a long time, sorted out the hidden information, and then went to the bedrooms they selected to find clues.
A total of five people came to escape from the secret room today, namely He Meng, Xu Xu, the tall and lanky programmer Liu Zhe nicknamed "Small Dog", Liu Zhe's colleague Lu Ke, a curly-haired brother, and He Meng, who looks burly and tall. Xu Jianan, a college classmate.
According to the rules, there are a total of three guest rooms, one for two, and one person is destined to place an order. But these people don't care whether they are actually afraid or not, anyway, before these brothers came in, they swore that they were not afraid. So the choice of placing an order is determined by guessing.
The curly-haired brother Lu Ke lost, so he pretended to be calm and went to his own room.
After searching for some information separately, the players began to go through the plot normally. At first, it was probably to adapt to the players. Apart from the creaking doors and the lights that were not working at all times, there were no particularly scary scenes or things. The only thing that is disturbing and frightening is the whole Lin family's attire.
Some places are hung with red cloth and red mantle, which is prepared for the wedding of Miss Wan, which is a joyous scene. In some places, white cloth and white curtains were hung, which were hastily prepared after the death of Miss Wan, which turned from joy to sorrow. Accidents happened one after another in the Lin family, they were understaffed, and Marshal Jiang had always looked after them very strictly, so they hadn't been able to completely remove all the decorations.
After searching for some information, it was evening, and the players had dinner with the third young master.
The NPC who played the role of the third young master is a very handsome little brother. He told several players some taboos of the Lin family, such as "don't go out after dark", "don't speak rashly after the lights are off", "don't respond when someone greets you in the dark" "such as.
"It's quite a strange talk, and the design is quite detailed." Xu Xiaoxiao whispered to He Meng.
And so the horror part begins here.
First, the lights at night were turned off, and the players were not allowed to go out in their selected guest rooms according to the rules. In the darkness, one could hear the sound of walking, knocking, and calling at the door. Along with the looming red light outside the door, a woman's figure was reflected on the door and windows, which was particularly strange.
What was even more frightening was that several other people had companions, and Lu Ke, who was alone in a room, did not have a trembling companion.
And this kind of players who walk alone are usually caught to do single-line tasks.
So several other people heard a fierce noise from the next door, and then Lu Ke's voice: "Who are you, where are you taking me? I won't go... let me go-I won't go! Help! Ah Ahh!"
In the end, it was obvious that this person couldn't hold back anymore, but the NPC was merciless, only hearing the footsteps gradually receding, and Lu Ke's fading away howling came in the wind.
After a while, the lights came on. Although Xu Xu was not afraid of good friends at all, he was somewhat nervous about this deliberately designed exciting plot. He looked at He Meng, and the two of them looked at each other. A single line means a close relationship.
"Did you hear that, Dawei was arrested." Xu Jianan knocked on the wall, exchanging news with the brothers next door.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he's screaming really badly." Liu Zhe laughed.
So the brothers laughed maliciously together.
Liu Zhe pouted, with a regretful expression on his face: "It's a pity that you are not allowed to bring your mobile phone in, otherwise you will have to record a piece of his moving singing voice."
"I heard that the escape room has night vision surveillance. Let's go and see if we can get a video after we finish our work, and we can spend money."
The bad guys laughed again.
At this time, the door could finally be opened, and the normal lighting outside the door was restored. As the plot progresses, several people get together secretly, carrying dimly lit lanterns at night, and prepare to go to the ancestral hall to find key information according to the clues, and rescue the brother who was locked up alone by the way.
Along the way, I experienced the replay of the video that happened on the eve of Miss Wan’s death in the garden, saw a scary ghost crawling out of the well, and experienced the flickering lights, the ghosts gradually approaching and even killing each other... I was still tense at the beginning, I don't know where it started, and I don't know who started it. When someone started to scream, the others also started to scream.
Several big men screamed and rushed into the ancestral hall, howling ghosts and wolves.
First rescued Lu Ke who was trapped in the ancestral hall, and the curly-haired brother stopped pretending now, with a pale and haggard face. But he was not embarrassed, and said to each other: "You don't need me to look like you rushing in screaming, right?"
"It's better than you screaming loudly."
"At any rate, I'm alone. It's not okay for the four of you to be together. It's not as good as me."
"I knew I wouldn't be able to save you, so I let you stay here overnight."
While hurting each other, the men tacitly let go of this topic and began to concentrate on solving the puzzle.
The organization of the ancestral hall needs six people, and they only have five. This level requires a person to stand in front of each portrait hanging in the ancestral hall, guarding the two candles placed on the left and right below the portrait, and blowing out the candles as soon as they light up. In other words, there is no way for one person to keep two pictures alone, and there will be no time to react.
"What should we do?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
