Shang Yunbai walked out of the lobby, and across the street was the mission hall. The mission hall was very quiet, everyone was silent, and it looked so serious that it made people uncomfortable.
Shang Yunbai walked to the dark-looking door next to him. Everyone else looked at him with his head lowered and said nothing. His expression was almost numb. It was completely different from the bustle that Shang Yunbai saw outside yesterday, as if he had been sentenced. Like the death penalty.
Shang Yunbai was puzzled by this subtle change. He didn't know if these numb people were the norm or if those cheerful people were the norm. After all, when he came out after completing the task yesterday, although those people looked cold, there were still others. He enthusiastically explained some relevant knowledge.
Shang Yunbai didn't know that it was his own charm that was causing trouble, so he was currently feeling weirdly confused about the world.
"Faster, faster! Faster!"
A man ran over with a pale face. As his face gradually showed joy, he disappeared in an instant.
Shang Yunbai glanced around. Others still looked indifferent and had nothing to do with him. Some people even had a hint of ridicule in their eyes.
It's not hard to guess.
The direction of the man just now was toward the portal. It was obvious that his rest time had expired, but he lingered and refused to come. By the time he regretted wanting to go through the portal, it was already too late.
Also, it's really disappointing that you can't guarantee to go to the safe zone without taking the portal.
Shang Yunbai lowered his eyes. It was useless to speculate at the moment. After all, he could hardly afford to eat.
With this thought in mind, Shang Yunbai stepped forward quickly, and under the surprised gazes of the people around him, he stepped into the portal without any hesitation.
"Welcome to the grand and romantic ball, please dance in the pool of blood and death, white rose."
Shang Yunbai was stunned when he heard this familiar voice. He didn't even have time to observe the surrounding environment, and he was a little confused.
A woman next to her glanced at Shang Yunbai, and then glanced again. Then she reached out to put out her cigarette, came close to Shang Yunbai, smiled and said, "Are you new? The person who just spoke was the dungeon BOSS Rose Lord. You may not recognize him, but does his voice sound nice? If I encounter you, you should stay away, this BOSS is also a pervert."
Shang Yunbai calmly tilted his head to cover the rose mark on his neck, and asked curiously: "What does this broadcast mean?"
He remembered that when he first participated in the game, the speaker on the radio was a man who introduced himself as a doctor.
This is not important information, and the woman did not hide it. She smiled and said: "Random, similar to the opening animation of the game. As for which BOSS it is, some will introduce it and some will not. BOSS like the Lord of the Rose is just because the player has listened to it after completing the level. There are many bosses who only know their voices but don’t know what they look like or what type they are. Each boss is prettier than the last, and their hearts are dirtier than the last one.”
Shang Yunbai nodded sympathetically.
The woman saw that the players hadn't gathered yet, so she continued talking to Shang Yunbai, "At first we thought this opening broadcast was a clue, but later we found out that it was like an advertisement and had nothing to do with the main topic. For example, my last game was magic. The magician opens the show, but the content has nothing to do with magicians.”
Shang Yunbai nodded, thinking about getting more information out, so he pretended to be curious: "So the bosses are rational and emotional. Have you never thought of passing the level through other methods? If it is the same as the story, follow the procedures Would it be worse to take action?"
The woman seemed to have experienced a lot of scenes. She glanced at Shang Yunbai and saw that Shang Yunbai seemed to be really curious and had no other meaning. She smiled and instead of speaking directly, she brought up another topic, "You might as well tell me You, we humans are like fish on the chopping board now. It’s better to help each other. It’s just that we can’t see clearly. The knife stabs our companions every time. It would be okay if we were eliminated. They stab their companions in any survival decryption game. I am telling you this because I hope you will be on guard against others, but not have the intention of harming others."
The woman seemed to have experienced a lot. If it weren't for the Lord of the Rose's voice that made Shang Yunbai completely confused and showed the demented look that a newcomer should have, the woman would definitely not have said so much to him.
Shang Yunbai nodded seriously, "If people don't harm me, I won't harm others."
The woman smiled, took out a cigarette without lighting it, and played with it, "About BOSS, most of them have memories and know everything about the game, but some of them will have their memories blocked under special circumstances, just like following the plot. Or... it hasn’t awakened yet, and it will take several rounds of games before it awakens and becomes a BOSS with memory and is separated from the plot."
"Don't try to influence the boss with love. They are all madmen and monsters. They are just humanoid. In their eyes, we are like ants. Who would be moved by the love of ants?" The woman shook her head regretfully. Obviously, someone had done something to conquer the BOSS. Judging from the woman's expression, it was clear that the person died very quickly.
Shang Yunbai nodded. He didn't expect that he could get so much information by just participating in a game. He might be the legendary chosen one.
The woman was about to say something, but she heard the system announcement.
[Survival mission - "Puppet Man" has been started. ]
[Background introduction: The abandoned exhibition hall was rented, and the puppeteer who seemed to be seriously ill made many beautiful puppets in it. They frantically competed for the puppeteer's favor, and outsiders would be labeled as "stealing love." The name shredded into the empty stomachs of the puppets to make itself closer to the appearance of the puppeteer. ]
[Task introduction: Avoid the puppet man’s pursuit and don’t be discovered by the puppet master. ]
[Players: 7 (people) Elimination: 0 (people)]
Shang Yunbai was still waiting for the scene to end. The next moment his eyes flickered, and Shang Yunbai instantly appeared in a yard overgrown with weeds.
Shang Yunbai glanced around and found that there were several people around him.
The woman who was chatting with Shang Yunbai at the beginning immediately moved closer to Shang Yunbai.
On the other side were three men and two women, all of whom looked serious and alert.
He doesn't look like he wants to introduce himself, so let's call him the guy wearing black clothes, a short haircut and stud earrings, while the girls will call him Smokey Sister, Drag Sister and Soft Girl.
After Shang Yunbai hastily solved the problem of address, he looked at Sister Yan, the one who talked to him at the beginning.
Sister Yan knew by looking at the other people's expressions that they couldn't have close friendship, so she didn't say anything more and nodded to Shang Yunbai.
Inn Tou rolled up his sleeves and lowered his voice, "Who will go in first?"
They are currently playing the role of adventurous clown 123, waiting for one of the clowns to climb in through this window first.
Cun Tou said this, obviously not prepared to take risks on his own, and looked at others coldly.
The soft girl is not soft at all, and her mouth smells like dirt, "The worst that can happen is that she will die, you are a grinder, I can't stand you!"
After saying this, the soft girl climbed in from the window in a few steps and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Shang Yunbai: "..."
Not angry, Sister Yan pulled Shang Yunbai. Shang Yunbai understood and climbed in after Sister Yan climbed in.
The two of them walked inside together, and Sister Yan smiled, "My name is Chen Muting, Bathing Mu, Slim Ting, what is your name?"
Shang Yunbai silently crossed out the word "Sister Yan" in his heart, filled in Chen Muting's name, and smiled gently on the surface, "Just call me Yun Bai."
Chen Muting didn't say much, but changed the topic, "Do you have any clue about this task? You are a newcomer, and it will be good for you to think more about it in the future."
Shang Yunbai thought for a while, "This kind of non-decryption survival game has limited room for intellectual development."
Chen Muting nodded, "That's true, but puppets have rules for killing. Even ghosts can't do it at will, so what we have to do now is to find ways to test the killing rules of those puppets."
"Yeah." Shang Yunbai nodded in agreement.
The exhibition hall is very large and winds around like a maze.
The two people talked in low voices and walked forward quietly.
Not much else to say, this exhibition hall is very clean and does not look like it has been abandoned.
The soft girl who came in just before them disappeared without a trace, which was strange. Even if she wanted to avoid other people and move alone, she would have to be careful due to the special floor here. It would be no joke if she was caught. For play.
After walking through the long corridor, they opened a door and arrived at a wide exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall is quite large, surrounded by various things covered by red cloth. In the middle of the exhibition hall is a huge circle, surrounded by black curtains. I don't know what is going on inside.
Although Shang Yunbai was curious, he didn't mean it. He knew that he couldn't take advantage of it casually, so he just took a few more looks out of curiosity.
The two people walked around the exhibition hall. Because the light was only a small incandescent lamp that was not turned off at night, it was not very bright and they could not see clearly.
Just as the two were about to walk out, they heard a click. Shang Yunbai immediately turned his head and saw only half of the face of the man with earrings who had not spoken before and the closed door.
I don’t know what the earring man pressed just now. The curtain in front of him fell down instantly and the surrounding lights turned on.
The curtain fell, and behind the curtain was a circular stage. On the stage, pale-skinned people stood on it in gorgeous clothes.
Upon closer inspection, we discovered the round balls at the joints of these "people". It is obvious that these people are just realistic puppets.
The doll seemed to be performing a drama. The woman in a gorgeous princess dress held a whip in her hand. The barbs on the whip reflected the cold light, and her expression was cold and contemptuous, like a queen.
The expressions of the other dolls lying at her feet were extremely exaggerated and distorted. Another man kneeling on one knee had a smile on his face and was wearing a black tuxedo. He looked like a butler butler, and the figure behind him was A dark snake was wrapped around his hand.
The entire stage is full of details, and even if placed in the real world, it can be regarded as a work of art.
