He has messy short brown and black hair, rather fierce-looking facial features, slightly dark skin, and a tall and strong figure. The cuffs of the chef's uniform are rolled up tightly with thick elbows, revealing a thick patch of hair, and he is also wearing a coat. Wearing a one-piece apron and holding a sharp meat-picking knife in his hand—the man in front of him looks exactly like the "Mr. Butcher" last night!
Everyone tensed up, and Li Tianyu was so frightened that she jumped three feet high. The chair she was sitting on scraped against the carpet and backed away a few steps. If she hadn't still remembered the lesson she had learned yesterday, she would have taken out her gun long ago.
"You... what are you!" Her scalp was numb, and she shouted pretending to be calm. Only her slightly trembling voice revealed her panic at the moment.
The chef looked very confused. He frowned and replied in confusion: "I am the chef here, the guest. Aren't you the ones who want to see me?"
"You were not in the kitchen last night, we didn't see you," Bai Jingxing stared at him, his arm hidden under the thick tablecloth that fell to the floor, and he had quietly touched a cold and sharp arrowhead, "Can you tell us where you went? "

The chef scratched the side of his bearded face, looked left and right with confused eyes, and answered after a while: "Me? I went to help Mr. Happydawson. What's wrong, didn't you see me?"
Everyone was stunned. Even He Qin subconsciously raised his brows, showing a trace of confusion.
… what is this? Does this count as a confession
All the players present seemed to be stunned by this ball that could no longer go straight, and they didn't know what to say for a long time.
If the chef hesitated, lied covertly, or simply said that he didn't know, fell asleep, and had no memory of that time, they wouldn't be so confused. Li Tianyu looked blank and shouted in a strange voice: "So you know... you know what you were doing last night?!"
"I know, miss, why don't I know? I'm not a fool." The chef was even more confused, "So is something wrong?"
Li Tianyu couldn't take a breath and almost rolled his eyes and choked to death.
What's up? ! Do you still dare to ask if something is wrong? !
She was about to jump up when she heard Du Zijun look directly into the chef's eyes and say: "So, you also admit that you are one of the murderers of that woman?"
"What?!" the chef yelled, "I didn't kill anyone! The Midnight Fun Show is an absolutely safe and harmless relaxing game, how could there be a dead person in it!"
"You fart!" Li Tianyu screamed, "I clearly saw you slashing her with a knife, and then she was bitten to death by a monster dog. Are these all fake?! Do you think you are crazy or I am crazy? !”
The chef looked at her in disbelief. Despite his identical appearance, his embarrassed expression at this time was really completely different from the wild and crazy butcher last night. Even if they were said to be twin brothers, some people would probably believe it.
"Guest, that's just the effect of the show!" He explained with difficulty, feeling that he and the group of people in front of him seemed to be living in two worlds. "I slashed her with a knife, chased her, and even let the dog bite her, all for the sake of the show. Effect, what’s wrong with this?”
The chef's rough hands kept rubbing his apron, and Lin Miao suddenly asked: "So, she is still dead?"
"Oh, she will come back to life, sir, that's how everyone here is." The chef gave a kind smile, "It's nothing to make a fuss about, as long as everyone feels happy, that's the charm of the Midnight Joy Show!"
His smiling expression, sparse and ordinary tone, determined attitude, and a stubborn, sleepwalking look in his eyes all make the player's back feel cold, and they feel a sense of powerless absurdity in an instant.
They can no longer argue with him. For him - and even the town residents represented by him, the twisted and twisted ideas instilled in them by the Midnight Joy Show have been completely cast into their lives. Just like you can't discuss the concepts of hot and cold with a person who has been told that "the sun is cold" since he was a child. He can only think that ice cubes are hot and flames are cold, while ordinary people's ideas are deformed. Yes, it needs to be corrected.
Watching the chef's back gradually go away, Wen Zheliu said softly: "In the world of madmen, normal people are the real aliens."
The Midnight Joy Show creates another different time and space for the town. There are new rules and a new order. To the town, the players are like viruses that have accidentally entered the computer program, and everything needs to be purified and transformed.
If you want to survive, you must either adapt to the rules here or break them.
The main mission has been updated: 1. Persist until dawn in the escape carnival scene (no limit on the number of times)
Main quest updated: 2 Solve the Midnight Fun Show puzzle (0/1)
"Battle Royale? Do you have to hold on until dawn?" Bai Jingxing frowned, "This is a night mission."
"There are more difficult things," Xi Ling said with a serious expression, "You also heard what the chef said just now. He told us that everyone here is like this... You should be able to guess what this means, right?"
Wen Zheliu nodded, and Chen Feiluan said: "In other words, all the aborigines in this town can turn into murderous perverts and assistants to the boss in the midnight joy show, and they are still happy to do so. made."
"But the task of watching the Midnight Fun Show means that we are being chased by the boss. This updated escape carnival... won't the whole town be together?" Bai Jingxing looked worried, "If that's the case, that would be too much. It’s not good.”
"Don't worry about it, let's eat something first." He Qin smiled slightly, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. Only when you are full can you have the energy to think."
As he spoke, he put a piece of pie into Wen Zheliu's plate.
"Thank you." Wen Zheliu said softly.
After eating, the players gathered in groups and began to exchange opinions and gather countermeasures.
Before entering the Uncanny Valley, they each belonged to their own clubs and had a deep understanding of each other. Although this method of discussion is not conducive to the team, it can summarize the plan worked out using information and intelligence as quickly as possible. piece.
Wen Zheliu stood next to He Qin, and the two began to talk quickly and quietly in a familiar manner.
"I haven't told them just now that Happy Dawson's weaknesses are his eyes and tongue. How did you figure it out?" Wen Zheliu asked.
"In the situation last night, the system really didn't allow players to discover much," He Qin said. "The boss is indeed very strong in melee combat, but the most important thing is his ability in mental manipulation. All his sense of oppression It all comes from his eyes and voice, which are his strengths, but could they also be his weaknesses? So I tried it out."
"You're right, he couldn't tell whether your words were a simple provocation or an intentional threat, so he hesitated." Wen Zheliu sighed, "It's amazing how his mind works so fast. "
He Qin smiled fondly. He wanted to reach out and rub Wen Zheliu's head, but in the end, he just put his right hand into his pocket, "You can also think of it, but you don't have enough experience and you haven't seen much. , so it’s easy to be influenced.”
"Hmm... Now that I think about it, Jenny calls him the tail-eyes and tongue, so that's true."
He Qin suddenly asked: "By the way, what's going on with your pendant?"
Wen Zheliu took off the restored silver jewelry from his neck and handed it to He Qin. He Qin took a look and said, "The summoning lasts for 30 minutes and the cooling time is two days..."
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
He Qin smiled and shook his head, then put the necklace on him again, "No problem, it is a great prop. In order to repay you, Jenny gave you the key to the first world."
"Key?" Wen Zheliu was a little surprised, "No way, it's so exaggerated?"
"Then what do you think?" He Qin said with a relaxed expression, "Do you think such a huge data life form can be accommodated by just a small pendant?"
"I thought she was a projection or something else," Wen Zheliu said, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, "I didn't expect it to be a key."
He Qin said: "If it were just a projection, happydawson wouldn't be so afraid of her. Not only would she let you go, but even Li Tianyu would survive. It can only be said that the pendant serves as an access code, opening up the first world in the second world. The gate allowed her to move briefly for 30 minutes in a territory that did not belong to her."
"So that's it..."
"Although I don't know if players can travel in reverse, but even so, this is an important life-saving talisman for you. Don't let anyone know about it yet."
Wen Zheliu nodded: "Yes, I understand."
"Then let's sort out the information we currently know or can infer." He Qin clapped his fingers and drew the number one, "The source of the midnight joy show?"
"unknown."
"The identity of the host?"
"I only know that his name is Happydawson. He is the spiritual master and leader of the town. There is a high possibility that he is inhuman. During his lifetime..." Wen Zheliu hesitated, "According to my speculation, this person should have been a communication professional during his lifetime. People are either engaged in pyramid schemes, politicians, or cultists. Due to the cg at the end of the first world and the atmosphere of the entire environment, I am more inclined to be cultists."
"How to say?"
"When he was talking to Jenny, he mentioned the word 'master' many times, and asked Jenny why she wanted to help a human being like me who has no faith." Wen Zheliu said, "The master he mentioned may be a saint. The nun may be the evil god that the holy nuns also worship, or she may be someone else... But based on his words and deeds, as well as his outstanding and almost terrifying spiritual pollution power, I think his professionalism in this area is unlimited. Picky."
He Qin nodded slightly: "Beautiful."
He then asked: "How does the Midnight Fun Show work?"
"This should be selected by the boss at random - or the system should assign unqualified players to him, let him arrest them, and have fun through absurd and illogical killings, while at the same time deepening the brainwashing of the town residents and cultivating them. Their sense of fanaticism.”
"What is his purpose for doing this?"
Wen Zheliu hesitated for a moment: "...For the power of faith? I guess, if he is a cultist, then he must need something like the power of faith, right?"
"The power of faith?" He Qin laughed out loud. He looked at Wen Zheliu with interest. His peach blossom eyes were filled with sparkles, but they did not appear feminine, but contained a more romantic and evil meaning, "Just a mere How much power of faith can a small town with a few thousand people provide?"
"This..." Wen Zheliu frowned, "Thousands of people are not a lot."
He Qin said: "Then what if I say that the coverage of the Midnight Happy Show channel is not limited to one town?"
Wen Zheliu's heart skipped a beat and he was immediately speechless.
If it's not just this small town, then the scope of their dungeons will be greatly increased, and the difficulty will also increase exponentially!
"Escape Carnival..." He Qin chewed these words, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said softly, "Yes, honey. Because Jenny, a helper like a plug-in, appeared, even if no one died on the first night, the world The difficulty is also increasing unconsciously. This is the boss's self-protection mechanism and the basic method used by the world to balance power."
"But..." Wen Zheliu was simply stunned, "But the cooling time limit of this pendant is two full days, and no one else has done anything. Doesn't this mean that I have harmed them!"
