Unconventional Escape Game

Chapter 12

Views:

On the morning of the seventh day, Ye Xu got up early, washed up, changed into light casual clothes, and was ready to go out at any time.

However, today's broadcast said something different.

"All players, please change into their gowns and arrive at the banquet hall on the second floor on time in one hour to participate in the dance. The dance lasts for three hours, please do not be late."

"All players please change into uniforms..."

"All players please change into uniforms..."

It seems that today's experience project is a dance party. And it's very bad that this dance is not all day, it only lasts three hours.

In other words, players must make up half an hour of experience time within three hours. Otherwise, after this period of time, the dance will not be held, and players who don't have enough time can only ask for blessings.

Ye Xu had a headache after hearing this, and he was about to attend some kind of dance party without having breakfast. The key is that he can't dance, can he just watch without dancing

It should be possible, otherwise it would be tiring enough to dance continuously for half an hour.

But to be on the safe side, it's better to dance. Don't ask to dance for half an hour, at least one must be jumped.

But Ye Xu really doesn't know how to do it. He has skipped radio gymnastics since he was a child. If you really want to dance, you can only dance casually, and you don't know if you can find a dance partner.

Otherwise...he will find someone who can't dance like him, so that no one will dislike anyone...

No matter what, Ye Xu obediently put on the dress and leather shoes. Ye Xu didn't wear leather shoes very much, and he was still a little awkward when he walked.

The point is, it was written in the diary that there is a high probability that there will be an escape at the dance this time. It is really inconvenient to escape wearing leather shoes, and it is not convenient to move in a dress. But he couldn't change clothes, so he had to make do with it.

One hour is enough time for everyone to change into their dresses and arrive at the banquet hall. Upon entering the door, Ye Xu first saw not all kinds of handsome men and beauties inside, nor the tour guide standing in the corner watching secretly, but all kinds of food on the long tables around.

Ye Xu's eyes lit up immediately, there was food in the banquet, he almost forgot about it!

It's easy to have something to eat, and when you're full, you have the strength to dance and run away. But the banquet has not started yet, Ye Xu dare not act rashly. He could only wait in a corner, staring straight at the various desserts on the table.

He himself doesn't like sweets too much, but he is not qualified to be picky when he is hungry, not to mention sweets can quickly replenish energy. Without further ado, Ye Xu aimed at chocolate balls and cream cakes, two high-calorie foods.

There was still red wine on the table, but Ye Xu didn't dare to get drunk. Alcohol really hindered him from escaping, in order to prevent his mouth from getting thirsty, Ye Xu had no choice but to give up those snacks that seemed to make people want to drink water.

These snacks looked very delicious, but luckily it wasn't Ye Xu who didn't have a sweet tooth, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to control himself.

The dance party started on time at 8:30. Generally speaking, this kind of event would not be held early in the morning, but in order to accommodate the tasks of the players, this time it was held in the morning. If it had been placed in the afternoon, the players would have fainted from hunger.

The next few seniors started whispering as soon as they came in, and happened to pick a corner not far from Ye Xu to stay.

"Today's event is really tricky."

"When we experienced it before, there were at most one or two NPCs by the side. Today there are so many, I can't believe that these NPCs are all 'friendly'."

"Don't touch the things on the table, we will eat them after other people try them."

"Yes, there is also wine, don't you be unable to walk without seeing wine."

"Don't worry, no one would dare to drink at this moment. I haven't had a drink since I came to this broken game."

This escape game is not like the main god space in other novels. The veterans who cleared the level together will enter the next common world together, and they will be scattered. So it's hard to meet acquaintances in the game world, and you can't see other players when you return to the main god's space.

There is only a dry small room, and a virtual light screen. The only things that can be opened there are the basic rules of the game and the point mall.

These senior people don't know each other personally, but it's not easy to get together quickly and know that other senior people love wine. Generally, senior people will hide their personal information tightly, and do not let others know, so as not to be used by others.

Ye Xu moved away from them calmly.

Among this group of veterans, there must be a particularly skilled organizer who summoned them together. Although such people are powerful, they are also very dangerous.

Ye Xu felt that he was just a small shrimp, so it was better to stay away from the boss. Otherwise, not only will she not be able to hug her thigh, but she will also be used by the boss to become a scapegoat.

Until 8:30, more than a hundred people came to the banquet hall one after another. These people are definitely not just players. After yesterday, the number of players has dropped by at least half. It is hard to say if there are still forty people. So most of the people who came were NPCs.

With forty players facing more than three times as many NPCs, once the escape really started, it would probably be a one-sided ghost carnival. Ye Xu couldn't help feeling worried, he looked at the gate of the banquet hall, and felt an urge to run away.

However, as soon as 8:30 arrived, the tour guide closed the gate with a smile on his face. I don't know if it is locked. If it is locked, I guess I can only "wait to die" in the dance hall.

"Welcome everyone to the dance party." The host of the dance party was an NPC she had never seen before, and she announced the start of the dance party without any nonsense. Then two NPCs came out and stood in the middle of the dance floor to provoke the opening dance.

After the opening dance, the guests started their own dancing time. Players can find a dance partner and dance their first dance with them.

Because the number of remaining players is exactly even, everyone can find a dance partner. But after being scattered among the crowd, it was hard to find. Fortunately, Ye Xu found a nearby lady and became his dance partner.

After the dance music started, both of them clumsily entered the dance floor and began to dance awkwardly. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to jump, just learn the movements of other people, and follow the steps and turns.

Not many people stayed in the rest area, most of them went onto the dance floor. Players who haven't found a dance partner yet, some are looking for a dance partner in the rest area, and some are just eating and don't plan to dance at all.

Ye Xu took advantage of the opening dance and ate a lot, so he is quite full now. It’s just that eating too much sweets is a bit greasy. It would be nice if I could have a glass of boiled water.

Four minutes later, the dance music ended. Ye Xu and his dance partner said goodbye in a friendly manner, and each returned to the rest area.

Ye Xu took the opportunity to check the door and found that it was really locked.

This is really bad news.

He had no choice but to hide in a corner, hoping that the NPCs would not notice him.

During the intermission, the banquet hall was also very uneven. The tour guide and host suddenly walked towards the two players and dragged them towards the gate without saying a word.

"Why catch me?!" The player struggled in panic.

The tour guide said flatly: "A person without a partner cannot attend the dance."

The two players became anxious immediately, and quickly said that the other person who was caught was their dance partner, and they would dance together later. But it was useless, the two NPCs were stern and selfless, and directly "invited" the person out of the ball.

Those who don't dance the first dance will have no chance to participate in it later.

Not only the two of them, but also other players who were addicted to eating or watching, and did not end dancing did not escape the fate of being thrown out. No matter which corner they shrank to, they were quickly found out and sent directly out of the banquet hall.

Ye Xu was immediately rejoiced, the dance was really about to dance, he guessed right.

But if you think about it, every experience before, how could you just leave after a stroll in the past. Even in duty-free shops, you have to buy something or use something. It's prom, of course there's dancing.

However, dancing is only the first level, and there is escape after that, which is the real fatal.

Ye Xu kept staring at the watch, because according to the nature of the game, the escape must start at five or ten. The gate must have been locked again by the tour guide. If you don’t expect to escape from there, let’s find a good place to hide.

But when the tour guide caught people before, it was as easy as installing a locator to find the player's location. Ye Xu was very worried that it would be useless no matter where he hid, what should he do then

Time passed minute by minute, and when the twenty-fifth minute came, the dance music just stopped slowly. All the NPCs paused, as if playing back in slow motion, turned to look at the players around them, and then smiled strangely.

Alarm bells rang in Ye Xu's heart, and he hid in the corner without saying a word.

There were nearly 150 NPCs, not all of them were rushing towards the player, most of them were walking slowly in the hall. It seems that they are looking for players, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find that they are simply executing the "look around" command.

For the NPCs that are really threatening to the players, they don't even have to pretend to look for them, they just pounce on those players - including the ones who are hiding.

Ye Xu's heart beat fast, and he ran out of the corner in a hurry, avoiding the hands that were reaching out to him. But in a hurry, he couldn't find a good escape direction at all, and there were NPCs in all directions. In desperation, Ye Xu could only find a random direction and plunge into it.

He was already prepared to be caught by the NPCs together, and then struggle helplessly. Unexpectedly, those NPCs didn't pay attention to him at all, and even if they were knocked upside down by him, they didn't give him a second look.

Only then did Ye Xu understand that these NPCs are different, they will not harm the player!

This gave Ye Xu a lot of inspiration, and he came up with a solution in a hurry: disguise himself as this kind of background NPC, to avoid the pursuit of other NPCs.

But there is another problem, those ghost NPCs seem to be able to distinguish them, and even locate them. His pretense doesn't mean anything if this isn't addressed.

He realized immediately that there was something about him that would allow the ghosts to locate them. As long as this thing is removed, he is likely to be safe!

So, what is it about him that all players have
