The souvenirs in front of me, excluding the wax figures, can be roughly divided into three categories. The first category is rag dolls, which are all kinds of weird rag dolls. The only thing they have in common is their big, black eyes.
The second category is plastic toys, such as soldier toys, truck toys, and all kinds of things, all made of plastic.
The third category, puppets, are puppets made of various woods, which look a bit scary and make people shudder.
Cheng Ye looked at the various souvenirs in front of him and didn't know which one to choose.
Rag dolls seem to be a species that often appears in some supernatural events. Just like the stand-in dolls in games, they seem to have a life-saving effect.
plastic toys……
Cheng Ye stared at a toy car not far away. Could it help people escape?
What about the puppets? The effect of control?
Cheng Ye frowned and glanced back and forth among the dazzling array of souvenirs.
It was like he had arrived in a toy town and didn't know which one to take away.
The clerk seemed to notice his confusion, and walked to him at some point, and the low and hoarse voice sounded again.
"Guest, do you like our souvenirs?"
Cheng Ye turned around and looked at the clerk now. For some reason, the feeling of extreme danger disappeared, as if he was just an ordinary person.
Cheng Ye nodded: "I like it, but I don't know which one suits me."
Hearing this, the clerk chuckled and said, "It depends on fate."
"Fate?" Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, you choose souvenirs, and the ones you choose are destined to be with you." The clerk said slowly.
Cheng Ye frowned, is it destined?
What is fate, or what is the profound meaning of this sentence?
He wanted to ask something else.
But the clerk had already gone back to the counter to do his own business.
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the clerk's back. He didn't quite understand what he said.
There were only two people in the small shopping mall, Cheng Ye and the clerk.
The gray tones gradually make people feel depressed.
It's like being cut off from the world, which makes you heavy.
Cheng Ye felt that he should hurry up and make a choice. It seemed that the safe time he could stay in the shopping mall was limited.
Even if you come to the shelter of the staff, there is still a certain amount of time.
No one can be opportunistic, and the game will never tolerate lazy players.
In just a short while, the displays in the shopping mall seemed to become even more shabby.
The light bulb also started to flicker, as if the voltage was unstable.
The glass also had watermarks, and the display on the table had chips.
The clerk seemed completely oblivious to this, just like an NPC that had returned to the file and no longer paid attention to the outside world.
He just stood there, minding his own business quietly.
Cheng Ye looked at the clerk for a while and then looked away.
His eyes fell back on the rows of souvenirs.
Apart from these three categories of souvenirs in front of me, the rest are some very strange things, such as clothes, hats, towels, water glasses and the like.
Of course, there are also wax figures that take up half of all souvenirs.
Cheng Ye would never touch the wax figure.
They look very weird, they are all shrunken anthropomorphic images.
If it weren't for the difference in body shape, Cheng Ye would really doubt that they were real people, just dead.
Besides, this is not impossible.
Maybe there is a real human soul hidden in their bodies.
In order not to be affected by this kind of interference, Cheng Ye stopped looking at those weird wax figures.
What he is considering is whether to randomly choose one from these three categories, or to buy items outside the three categories?
Those cups, toothbrushes, umbrellas, pencils and other things are all single items, there is only one.
Cheng Ye frowned, picked up a rag doll at random, and rubbed it in his hands.
It is no different from the rag dolls sold in ordinary shopping malls, except that the dark eyes are somewhat uncomfortable.
It was as if he was being targeted by some evil spirit.
He put down the one in his hand and picked up another one. The feel was no different from the one just now, but the appearance was different and the clothes he wore were different.
Could these rag dolls be malicious rag dolls?
This idea emerged slowly.
Cheng Ye turned the doll over and over and squeezed it hard. There seemed to be nothing special about it, and the stuffing inside looked like cotton.
But something feels wrong.
After having this idea, Cheng Ye touched the plastic toy again.
It seems that it is no different from the plastic toys I played with when I was a child, except that it feels colder and has a chill.
It was as if some evil thought had a sense of touch and wrapped around his hand.
This cold aura attached to them is like emanating from them themselves.
They looked at Cheng Ye as if they were choosing the next replacement.
Cheng Ye looked at the wax figure suddenly, and after making sure that the life-saving items in the storage compartment were still there, he grabbed them.
In an instant, huge temptation suddenly surrounded Cheng Ye, and a voice kept reveling in his heart: Take me away, take me away, take me away.
Cheng Ye threw the wax statue down with a swipe.
If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he might have taken away the wax figure in a daze.
These wax figures have the function of enchantment.
It is very likely that if you choose them, you will do some uncontrollable behavior in the next visit.
Towards death without any consciousness.
When his eyes moved towards the puppet, Cheng Ye was no longer interested.
He has now determined that these seemingly numerous, repetitive and featureless souvenirs should all be traps.
Not only the wax figures cannot be purchased, but also the dolls that stay with the wax figures all year round and seem to have developed self-awareness.
They are dangerous.
Cheng Ye couldn't predict what terrible things would happen if they were taken away.
But now, he definitely wouldn't pick them.
The clerk just said that everyone can only take away one souvenir every time they enter the shopping mall.
In other words, in five halls, each player can take away souvenirs at least four times.
This is an opportunity for players to try and make mistakes.
It should not hurt your life the first time, but if you keep making the wrong choices, you will be invaded even more.
Invasion...
From the moment he entered this museum, was he being targeted by something?
It may not have a physical body, but it has been trying to guide him to make mistakes, making its energy invade more thoroughly.
Until...he also turned into a wax figure.
Or, those so-called dead object exhibits?
Cheng Ye calmed down, closed his eyes, and thought carefully about the experience of the dead body museum.
The mummies in the dead body museum are actually one of the exhibits.
They are visited to tell something.
Cheng Ye suddenly remembered what the clerk said.
"I don't know how this route was set up."
What if this route is the only one that can survive.
So why start with the Museum of Dead Things?
Cheng Ye always felt that there was a deep meaning hidden in it, but he definitely needed to see the second pavilion to confirm something.
Package tickets, maybe an escape route.
In addition, since the mission mentions the need for players to survive as much as possible.
This shows that although there has been no crisis in this copy so far, it must contain some fatal situation.
And this fatal mechanism is not regulated
Then withdraw cash.
Is there anything that can be avoided?
Cheng Ye no longer looked at the repetitive souvenirs, but turned his attention to the inconspicuous single items hidden in the corner.
Is there something special?
The players in the live broadcast room were all watching Cheng Ye's game intently.
Most of them didn't know why Cheng Ye suddenly stopped moving and just stood there like a fool.
The psychology of most people is to try to avoid it when encountering a crisis.
This is the most normal psychological reaction.
Having just encountered such a crisis, now of course I want to leave as soon as possible instead of exploring.
And this is the difference between quality players and ordinary players.
High-quality players are all looking for wealth and wealth.
It's dangerous, but worth a try.
Wei Sheng'an naturally saw Cheng Ye's intention, but it was a pity that he was not with him now, so he would have helped him choose souvenirs.
Now Cheng Ye has obviously given up on those dangerous souvenirs, and Wei Sheng'an also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if you can't pick out a truly useful souvenir, your life won't be in danger.
Nothing could be done for the time being, so I switched the screen to another partition screen.
Some players chose to continue walking and did not enter the shopping mall.
There is nothing wrong with this. It is better to do less than to do more.
Anyway, as long as you survive, the rules do not require players to explore the museum.
Some players also entered the shopping mall like Cheng Ye.
Although they were also disturbed by the sudden thirst, it was obvious that they had enough props to solve the crisis.
There is no danger, so far, except for the players from the seventh division who unfortunately died, the number of players has remained unchanged at 11.
Just another player who chose a single ticket seemed to be in a little trouble.
Because he only needed to enter one exhibition hall, he fell into endless darkness after visiting.
And this dark path seems to have no end.
He kept groping in the dark but had no clue.
"Is it because the ticket was not paid for?" Wei Sheng'an muttered quietly.
The trail he was on was obviously different from the trail other players had just experienced.
It's like a place of nothingness. Even under your feet, it doesn't look like there is anything real.
It's unclear where he fell into, but it seemed like it was only a matter of time before he died.
Sure enough, you shouldn't be opportunistic and give up the votes given by the system.
Wei Sheng'an had no expression on his face, casually looked at the other players, and then switched his perspective back to Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye kept his head lowered and did not move.
But suddenly, he smiled and looked at the clerk.
The staff will ensure the safety of tourists.
This is mentioned in the rules.
This is indeed what the staff is doing.
Recall that after Cheng Ye entered the shopping mall, the staff only took the initiative to speak to Cheng Ye twice.
The first time was when Cheng Ye wanted to choose a drink.
The second time was when he wanted to choose souvenirs.
This is obviously helping players.
If it weren't for the interruption from the staff, the players might not have spent more time thinking.
People often only think about more details when they are interrupted.
This principle has already been mentioned in the novice copy.
So, for the first time, the staff reminded Cheng Ye not to get drinks if he didn't have money.
The second time, I told him that souvenirs should not be taken casually, but must be given by fate.
Fate is always hard to come by, so the only things you can really get are those single items.
He hinted.
But now, Cheng Ye understood.
He started to look at his face
I looked at the items in front of me one by one.
Until he saw pure white clothes.
"Hello, can I buy this souvenir?" Cheng Ye asked politely.
The staff will probably give you a hint.
The clerk slowly raised his head and followed Cheng Ye's hand. He was obviously stunned when he saw the dress. Zhuan'er actually laughed: "Of course it's possible, customer."
sure.
Then he should have made the right choice.
Without any hesitation, Cheng Ye stepped forward and took the clothes off: "How much does this clothes cost?"
The clerk came out from the counter. He took the clothes in Cheng Ye's hand and checked them: "Ten minutes, sir."
"Ten minutes?" Cheng Ye was puzzled.
The clerk smiled and nodded: "Ten minutes during the visit time."
At this moment, Wei Sheng'an suddenly understood why the single-ticket player was inexplicably trapped in the land of no return.
Because everything in the museum costs money.
He didn't seem to have done anything against the rules, but at the beginning, he spent extra time visiting the gym.
That ticket may be for five minutes, ten minutes, or even twenty minutes.
But because of his ticket exchange, he ran out of time.
If you don’t have enough time and violate the rules, you will eventually be swallowed up by the museum.
The exhibits here are all here.
All the people participating in the exhibition died because of their own greed.
Cheng Ye's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Okay, please pay."
The clerk seemed to be in a good mood. He quickly paid the bill for Cheng Ye: "I wish you all the best, customer."
Cheng Ye put on the white clothes and said, "Thank you."
"The entrance to the regular building is right there. You can reach the regular building by going out through the red door."
"Our off-duty time is coming soon, please go as soon as possible."
The clerk's voice became hurried, but his face remained expressionless.
Cheng Ye nodded and walked directly towards the red door without any nonsense.
The shopping mall was about to disappear, and he also noticed it.
Everything is about to turn into powder and become crumbling.
He really had to leave as soon as possible.
[Why did he choose that dress? It’s so strange. This one looks the most ordinary. ]
[Perhaps I didn’t know what to choose, so I picked one at random? ]
[You guys should stop guessing what the real boss is thinking. You can’t even think of it. ]
[That’s right! +1]
There was a lot of noise in the barrage, and only Wei Sheng'an frowned slightly.
All players felt that the crisis had been resolved, but only he discovered one detail.
The dolls placed on the shelves looked at Cheng Ye's leaving figure with sad faces.
They seemed to want to swallow Cheng Ye into their stomachs, chewing it up and swallowing it.
And the moment Cheng Ye left, they seemed to be unwilling to even act, and all the dolls' eyes were focused on Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye also felt the attention.
But he didn't look back.
Rule 7 once said: If you hear any movement behind you, don’t look back. No staff will make any noise. If you feel in danger but are not in danger, please go to the "Strange" exhibition hall immediately, where it is absolutely safe.
So he will never look back.
No matter what kind of evil thoughts he had, he treated them as if they didn't exist.
