Xu Shuo finished watching the film. It turned out to be a strange script. Five players, a case occurred, and the process of investigating the case and restoring the story.
However, throughout the whole process there is darkness and weirdness everywhere.
He rubbed his chin and thought of the hospital script again. The longer the players stayed in it, the hospital seemed to become more and more weird. It was similar to the "Dancer in the Dark" script.
Although he didn't notice the strange feeling at all when he was in the game, the people around him reacted.
From the originally calm Director Zhang, to the doctors, to the other staff in the hospital, in the end, their consciousness seemed to have been eroded, becoming paranoid and distorted.
...Playing these games really consumes your mental energy.
After Xu Shuo watched a "movie" and dropped out of this person's playlist, he clicked on his follower and became one of his four-digit fans.
After returning to the square, the popular post being discussed above has been changed.
The poster is still the one who dominated the headlines before, but this time, the style has changed from a news report to a plot analysis style.
Xu Shuo clicked in to watch again with great interest.
According to the poster's description, he interviewed the player "at the scene" and got relatively reliable information. Moreover, among the five players in that scenario, another player also contacted him.
From this, the events in the script begin to be connected in series.
Everyone already knows from the previously playable dramas that the five player characters in "The Fifth Hospital" are: doctor, nurse, cleaner, patient No. 6, and patient No. 8.
Xu Shuo paused when he saw this: "..."
What?
He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the passage carefully to make sure that he had read it correctly.
Xu Shuo calmed down and continued reading a little more seriously.
There are two directions to complete this script killing. The first method is to find the mystery of the death of Patient No. 13, thereby solving the time cycle of the hospital, and then the players can start the final duel.
The second method: Players must complete the main mission to 50% before the death of Patient No. 13, directly start the countdown to the end of the game, and then engage in the final duel.
Players who have participated in this play in the past have used the first method and the second method.
However, in the strategy post, most people think that the second method is the best, because it greatly shortens the time to restore the script story and can end the game faster.
Veteran players all know that the longer they stay in the game, their mental strength will become increasingly sluggish, which will affect their judgment of the overall game.
However, the difficulty of the second method is how the players can work together.
After all, would anyone tell the truth in Script Killing?
People don’t believe you even if you say it.
[According to the descriptions of the two players, the second way they played the game was to trigger the countdown to the end of the game. 】
【It's just unintentional. 】
Later, the poster posted the five main tasks of the previous "Fifth Hospital" script.
Mission 1: Escape from the Fifth Hospital.
Mission 2: Set fire to the Fifth Hospital.
Mission 3: Blow up the Fifth Hospital.
Mission 4: Prevent the Fifth Hospital from being bombed.
Task 5: Protect all patients in the Fifth Hospital.
[Classic 211 mode, two independent tasks, one opposing task, and one global task. The doctor role has a relatively heavy task, so it is usually played by the person with the highest level among the five players. 】
Independent tasks are designed to allow players to trigger the countdown mechanism, and are usually the easiest tasks.
Opposition missions are intended to cause a confrontation between players, making the game richer and more exciting. They are also the missions with the most rewards and challenges, because one side is bound to fail.
As for global tasks, they refer to tasks that cannot be completed until the end of the game.
Global tasks are often nicknamed "working dogs" by veteran players, because players who obtain this task are not like other players who can fish after completing their tasks. They have to strictly control the overall situation until the end of the game. There can be no Relax for a moment, otherwise a small mistake may lead to mission failure.
…
After Xu Shuo saw this carefully, he understood a fact.
The character "Chen Chu" is not the player's character at all!
So why was he assigned there?
Xu Shuo opened his player's handbook and turned to the skills section. Chen Chu had indeed obtained his character card, special skills, and deduction values. But in the end, this post told him that he was playing the role of a ghost? !
Are the player roles fixed in each scenario? Can't it be changed?
Or, even if the characters in the scenario are not originally "playable" characters, players can still play them and get rewards after entering?
He really has too many problems!
Why is there no user manual for newcomers to this system?
Xu Shuo muttered in his heart and continued browsing the posts, becoming more serious at this time.
After all, it’s about the “air” you play.
Xu Shuo has not forgotten the warning prompt given by the system when he wanted to accept the memory of the character card, although he now feels that it has no effect on him.
…
After the new analysis post by this reputable poster was posted, the entire square became extremely lively, and the floors quickly returned to several thousand floors.
Xu Shuo wanted to study it more carefully, but at this moment, a person floated over next to him.
"Boss, I noticed that you have been staring at the air in a daze for half an hour."
"..." Xu Shuo quickly recovered, turned to look at Pei Sheng next to him, and then looked down at the time on his laptop.
Hiss, you neglected your duties and forgot your work!
Brush posts are really dangerous!
Hot chicken game, I made money by mistake!
He calmly closed the player's manual, looked at Pei Sheng and asked, "What's the matter?"
Pei Sheng pointed to his diamond-encrusted watch and said with a smile: "It's half past four. I still have half an hour to get off work, so it's time to take you to the store to look around."
Xu Shuo closed the computer and stood up: "Then let's go now."
He was still very concerned about the offline store, because in Xu Shuo's expectation, he planned to further develop it into a game city. When he was selecting the address, he also specifically looked at the locations of the two stores next to it.
It’s just that he doesn’t have the money to do something so big now.
…
The two drove to the Internet Celebrity Pedestrian Street in Heiyu District again. Because it was the May Day legal holiday, there were many people there these two days.
The construction team that Pei Sheng contacted was also very fast and was already at the store to survey the site. After the two came over, the person in charge handed over the design draft to discuss how to modify it at that time.
"We need to separate three rooms, use materials with better sound insulation effect, and separate an aisle here." Xu Shuo took the draft and explained his general idea.
"Boss, actually I think it's okay to create five rooms." Pei Sheng came over and said.
"It's too crowded, and the visual effect is not good." Xu Shuo frowned.
"Then your corridor, do you plan to connect it to the floor next to it?" He pointed to the line next to it and said.
"Well, people have to have dreams."
Xu Shuo nodded and said calmly, and Pei Sheng gave him an admiring look and thumbs up.
The first floor of the store was originally a beverage shop, and the decoration was quite exquisite. Xu Shuo didn't expect it to be completely renovated, and planned to transform the first floor into a front desk and coffee break room.
After the two of them visited the store, it was already past five-thirty when they came out.
Pei Sheng worked overtime for half an hour and expressed that he wanted overtime pay.
Xu Shuo stood on the side of the street, listening to the chatter in his ears, and casually glanced at the crowded streets. Suddenly, he saw the same two people in the same place yesterday.
After the girls bought milk tea, they continued walking towards the place they visited yesterday.
When he went out for dinner at noon, he guessed that Xu Xi might go out with her friends today. After all, the May Day holiday was three days in a row, so he couldn't just stay at home.
But he didn't expect that both of them would go to the same place to play.
"Fengdu Escape Room." Xu Shuo read out the signboard above, with more interest in his eyes.
"Huh?" Pei Sheng, who was next to him, heard the voice and subconsciously looked at the shabby little sign and small stairs, recognizing that this was the place they had discussed yesterday.
"Let's go, I'll pay you overtime to go there and have some fun."
Xu Shuo raised his feet and walked over there. Pei Sheng followed with question marks on his face and said, "Brother, that place is not suitable for my identity! If others see me, they will think that I am so poor that I have no money."
"It's okay if you don't want overtime pay."
"Go! It's rare for you to give overtime pay. Even though the form is different, you still have to get it!"
…
The stairs of the escape room are very dark, and there is only an ancient oil lamp-style lighting tool on the narrow wall. It shines on the stairs and makes a creaking sound.
It looks like it is shabby and about to be abandoned, but in fact, underneath the wood is a very solid iron building.
The atmosphere is rendered well.
Xu Shuo commented secretly in his mind. After walking up, he looked at the front desk, which was still slightly dim.
There was low and soothing music playing in the store. It didn't feel weird, but it was quite relaxing, like the lazy style of a bar.
Xu Xi was registering at the front desk. Suddenly, the radar in her mind seemed to go off, causing her to turn around and look at Xu Shuo who happened to be looking over.
"What a coincidence." Xu Shuo smiled and greeted.
Xu Xi was a little surprised. She really didn't expect to meet her workaholic brother here.
But then Pei Sheng, who was going up the stairs, saw her. His eyes quickly lit up. He pushed Xu Shuo away and came over excitedly: "You must be Xiao Xi. I am your brother's brother. I don't know if I can ask for it from you." A WeChat account?"
Xu Xi ignored him. The girl standing next to him heard the voice and turned her head curiously. After looking at the person who was chatting with her strangely, she followed Xu Xi's line of sight and looked back.
Then the girl's eyes lit up and she said happily: "Xiao Xi, your brother is here too, so let's play together?!"
