Chapter 3: Novice book (3)
Mu Anqi retracted her protruding neck and glanced carefully at the female ghost. The female ghost's expression returned to calm after doing these things, as if the smile that Mu Anqi had just seen was just an illusion. Mu Anqi didn't dare to take a serious look before, only then did she realize that the female ghost seemed to have a special cushion under her body.
—Gan! They are all VIPs, why are you being treated so well? Just because you are a big boss!
After the episode just ended, another circus staff member came carefully, first asking the female ghost if she needed something to eat, offering soft and comfortable cushions and disinfecting towels in the box.
Mu Anqi was a little sour.
No, she is also a VIP! What, differential treatment? A dying VIP doesn't have P rights! Why didn't a ghost ask her if she needed something to eat? She had to eat a guillotine before she died, right?
Mu Anqi sneered in her heart, but her face was calm. She's just been addicted to her mouth, after all, everyone knows... The treatment of players and ghosts in escape games is really different.
That's when the circus opened!
The red-nosed clown rolled over on a big red balloon. He laughed wildly and exaggeratedly: "Welcome to the Taiyin Circus! I'm your old acquaintance, red-nosed!"
From the rear, there was a burst of roars and laughter.
At this time, the atmosphere of terrifying escape came back. The atmosphere gradually became lively, although it was not as quiet and depressing as it was just now, but under this liveliness, countless laughter sounded, and the laughter made the players' backs numb—
Those ghosts, are they the clowns on stage, or the players who are about to bring them a show?
"According to the old rules, the audience in the VIP seats has a chance to participate in the performance. Without further ado, let's do the first performance!" The red-nosed clown rolled a huge red ball and retreated to the edge of the stage. The lights were on It suddenly darkened at this time.
The curtain fell and rose again. The edge of the stage sparked suddenly for a moment, and the ghosts below cheered. The first performance was actually a trapeze?
Those humanoid ghosts are wearing performance costumes, swinging in the air, whether it is 360 degrees, 720 degrees or even 1080 degrees!
Mu Anqi looked at the ghost in the sky, although it pretended to sway herself up, but when it was suspended in the air, it turned into a spinning top, which is not something that humans can achieve. The trapeze in the real world is considered a fright performance, and it is quite difficult. But in the hands of these ghosts... they just acted to scare their players, and the ghosts in the audience didn't buy it at all.
The dazzling cool-tone lights flickered, and Mu Anqi suddenly saw the aerial top—ah no! The ghost seemed to have something flew out and hit the VIP seat. Mu Anqi's eyes widened: Could it be that the first world's killing intent was a performance error?
The round thing smashed under the dim light and hit the arms of the man who was crying before. The man instinctively caught the "ball", but didn't receive much momentum, and the feel of the ball was...
He stiffened his body and lowered his head, meeting the eyes of the head.
"what-"
"Hahahaha" The head laughed loudly, and the audience behind the circus were overjoyed listening to the scream. But the faces of the players near the man were extremely ugly, and the man was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost passed out.
"surprise" The head smiled and rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth grinned behind his ears, his big mouth opened and closed, and he said kindly: "You are the next lucky audience, congratulations! Get the first chance to interact with us"
"No! I don't want it!" The man was about to faint, but after hearing this, he would shove the head in his hand to someone else, "Let it go to you, go! Go! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!— "He had no time to wipe his face with tears and snot. He looked embarrassed and miserable, but the head seemed to stick to his hand, and he couldn't shake it off. Players close to him stood up and retreated when he suddenly moved, for fear of becoming a scapegoat.
"Hahaha, this lucky VIP is so excited that she's already crying, obviously she can't wait. But please return my head to me first." Void, the headless performer on the stage, scratched his head, then smiled. Beckoning, the 1.8-meter tall man was actually taken up by his head and flew directly to the stage.
When the head flew over, Mu Anqi could even see some liquid dripping down, and the unspeakable smell also overflowed. The atmosphere in the venue became more and more cheerful.
Circus, the rear is very lively. And on her left is the freezer. Mu Anqi didn't dare to look at the female ghost's expression, she stayed quietly in her seat. I thought it was a killer move, but it turned out... But does it require VIP participation? Mu Anqi thought of the "one chance" that the red nose said before...
In other words, if you spend this time safely, will you be able to live?
The man paralyzed into a dead dog was dragged onto the stage, the headless corpse pulled its head out of the man's hand and pressed it on his neck, but the first time he pretended to be the other way around, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, he smiled. He sighed with emotion, "Oops, it's the other way around" and then straightened his head, then bowed gracefully to the audience, and walked down slowly. The curtain was pulled down again.
"Then, the second program is to change the living" Following the preview of the red-nosed clown, the curtain was slowly raised, and the preparation time in between did not even exceed one minute.
The players quickly realized that the man who had just been brought up was a changed living person.
A beam of white light hit the center, and the man was tied to a cold iron frame, with his hands, feet, waist, and neck tightly bound. At the same time, a large screen appeared in the center of the auditorium, and high-definition magnified the expression of the man.
Mu Anqi couldn't bear to read any more, but she had to take a serious look at where the murderous intention was hiding. Since it was a game, there must be a way to clear the level... Sure, there must be something she could notice.
At the beginning of the performance, the ghost held a chainsaw, pressed the switch, and the piercing sound of the chainsaw sounded. He grinned and brought the chainsaw closer to the man. Everyone in the audience heard the man's desperate scream, and the back of his neck was twisted, and he was completely shocked and fainted. However, the chainsaw was to saw the ring lock on the man.
Is it... absorbing the emotions of the player? fear? despair? Yes, it's a ghost. What is attractive to ghosts? Various negative emotions of human beings, human flesh and blood, human soul... She has also read this infinite flow novel, which also has such a setting. Ghosts, there are different settings in different texts, here... Mu Anqi is just guessing. But she watched the ghost wake up the man with a bucket of cold water, and then used a chainsaw to keep trying to cut the lock on the man's body—the action that obviously didn't hurt the man in the slightest, but almost scared the man to death, Mu Anqi confirmed this conjecture.
"Look A lock that can't even be cut by a chainsaw He is now tied to this shelf, unable to move or escape, but—" The ghost tilted his head and smiled, and the head fell to the ground accidentally, There was another boo from below.
"Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake" The ghost picked up his head with a smile and reinstalled it, that is, at this moment—the man on the shelf disappeared.
He pretended to be puzzled and looked back: "Wow! Where is the human?! Why is it gone? - Oh this is the big change in the living Hahahaha!"
The players in the VIP seats couldn't laugh, they didn't see any clues, and the man just disappeared out of thin air. This is the power of ghosts, changing the living, and dying? How could it be... When the ghost on the stage finished laughing, he turned his face, "Next, the second VIP audience will be drawn by the lights"
This time, players don't even have time to be sad. They sat stiffly in their positions, feeling cold all over. These ghosts obviously know the identity of their players, and the guy was the first to be drawn, probably because he was crying loudly...
Everyone started to recall at the same time, shouldn't they have done anything to step on the thunder? The girl who had just entered the game sobbing and came over was so frightened that her body stiffened, and tears rolled in her eyes. In her opinion, if the cause of the man's death was because of crying, then wouldn't she—
The lights flickered and stayed on each player for a few seconds, greatly magnifying the players' fear. After flickering again and again, Mu Anqi heard the red nose on the stage start the countdown... "Ten...nine...eight..."
Mu Anqi couldn't help but get nervous. Listening to the countdown, she couldn't help but read it in her heart, her nerves were tense—
"three…"
The light goes to the far right.
"two…"
Wait, according to the length of this pause, doesn't it end up with the female ghost on the left? Is the circus so brave? Or is it that the murder this time was a mistake in coordinating with the ghosts and ghosts?
"one!"
The light happened to hit the female ghost, and the female ghost narrowed her eyes slightly by the dazzling light. However, the lamp did not dare to stay for a moment, and forcibly teleported onto Mu Anqi.
Mu Anqi: Gan!
"Oh hehe, congratulations to this young lady for being the interactor of this performance"
Whether it was an illusion or not, Mu Anqi seemed to wipe off a cold sweat when she saw the ghost on the stage. It's really outrageous, ghosts also have cold sweats? !
Mu Anqi calmed down and stood up. She glanced at the long aisle on the right, the players and ghosts, and then at the female ghost on the left, "Trouble, borrow a way."
The female ghost raised her head slightly and stared at her silently. When she said these words, the whole circus was silent for a moment.
unreasonable. Mu Anqi thought, the setting of this game... is too strange, since it is a circus, why are the other ghosts afraid of this female ghost, even the main circus of the game has to respect her, what is the identity of this female ghost? It's obviously an escape game, so why put an NPC identity that doesn't fit the game's background?
- Definitely, there are hidden clues!
Mu Anqi gathered up her courage and looked at the female ghost without changing her expression.
The atmosphere froze, and it was silent for about a minute or two. During this long time, the players didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Just when the players were about to be unable to hold back, the female ghost turned her head slightly, stood up and walked to the aisle, letting out of position.
Mu Anqi's face was calm, and she walked over in a panic in her heart, and continued to walk on the stage: Gan! What about her hidden story? ! How the **** is this game set up?
