Chapter 059 Horror Mashup (14)
Sadako's sister Sayaka: It must be your own hair and nails. Go over first, and I'll tell you the detailed rules in the barrage when you get there.
"Wow, that sounds quite realistic. I'm a little scared!"
"It can't be a trick, it's still a trick these days, ghost, haha."
"Do you think he can afford to hire someone like that?"
"Maybe the boss just wants to spend 2,000 yuan to scare the anchor and see if he dares to play."
"Isn't this just the ghost-summoning game? Playing hide-and-seek with ghosts. I played it when I was a kid, and it was nothing serious..."
The audience in the live broadcast room obviously didn't believe it, but they were all very excited.
Xie Chi read his boss's words again, his heart sinking slightly.
He had suspected that the boss wanted to hide his identity, and the fact that the courier couldn't get through to the boss's phone proved this point. He had clearly said that he could go to any scary place by paying 500 yuan, but the boss paid 2,000 yuan. Was he really just being generous? Could it be that...
There was a hint of intriguing smile on Xie Chi's lips.
Is it possible that they were afraid that he would not go, so they spent so much money to force him to go? If he did not go, it would have a big impact on the boss?
This doll that was delivered to a specific location seemed to be premeditated, and they couldn't wait to get him into the net.
Thinking of this, Xie Chi stared at his phone for several seconds in front of the live studio, then answered the call in a self-directed and self-acted manner, with a gentle face: "You haven't slept yet? Have you eaten?"
Xie Chi paused for a few seconds, as if listening to the person on the other end of the phone.
"What? A surprise for me? You were waiting for me downstairs?"
Xie Chi said regretfully: " No, I'm live streaming. I received a gift from my boss tonight and I'm about to leave..."
"No, no, no." Xie Chi looked terrified, "Of course you are important, making money is not important at all!"
Xie Chi directed and acted for another minute, then said to the camera with a helpless look on his face: "My girlfriend came to see me suddenly, so I can't go tonight. I'm sorry, boss. Please add me and I'll send you a private message to return the money."
"I understand, you're just a tigress."
"You can have a girlfriend even if you are so poor!!"
"He's handsome."
After Xie Chi finished his performance, he waited lazily. Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, a meteor shower started in the live broadcast room again. This time, the meteor shower came one after another, and there were seven or eight of them. It took two or three minutes for the shower to stop completely.
Sister Sadako's sister Sayaka spent more than 10,000.
The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly screamed.
"Almost twenty thousand! Holy shit! Big boss!"
“Isn’t this too wide?!”
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Is this enough? Earn 20,000 a night, your girlfriend will understand and support you.
Xie Chi raised his eyebrows, so it was the boss who asked him to go, and the boss had other plans for him...
After testing the result, Xie Chi no longer hesitated and said with a smile: "Of course it's enough! I'll go after I finish talking to her."
Xie Chi was multitasking, directing and acting out a phone call to reject his "girlfriend" while searching the Internet for information about the address given by the female boss.
A few years ago, there was a privately-run glass maze there that had a pretty good reputation. It has been abandoned in the past two years, but the glass building is still there.
There was another knock on the door.
"Open the door, Chi Zi! There is a job tonight. I saw it in the live broadcast room. Let's go together! My van just happened to be repaired." It was a rough male voice.
Xie Chi walked over to open the door, and a fat man came in, who looked to be in his twenties. His face was full of fat, squeezing his eyes to a slit.
The name of the live broadcast room is Single Brothers, and this should be his NPC partner.
Xie Chi invited him in and asked casually to the camera: "Boss, can we add someone?"
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Of course, you two can just seal your hair and nails behind the doll.
Xie Chi understood, so the person chosen by the boss was not special or unique. He and the fat man had nothing in common, so what the boss wanted was just "someone going to that place", not a fixed "who goes to that place". This further proved that there was something fishy about that place and the boss had something to hide.
"Give me half of the money." The fat man said slyly while cutting his hair with scissors.
Xie Chi gestured "OK" to him, took the scissors handed to him by the fat man, and cut off a small bunch of his hair.
After the two of them followed the boss's instructions, Xie Chi got into the fat man's second-hand van.
The car drove towards the location requested by the boss.
…
Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
The destination is located on the border between urban and suburban areas.
The glass maze in front of him was much larger and more complicated than he had imagined. It was dazzling just by looking at it. If he really played it seriously, it would take at least an hour or two to get out of it.
The fat man parked the car, looked at the glass maze in front of him, and swallowed his saliva: "Oh my god, we are not going to play hide and seek in here, are we?"
"It's scary enough to look at a mirror in the middle of the night, let alone so many mirrors, each of which reflects me..." The fat man wrapped his jacket tightly around himself, not sure if he was cold or scared.
"Is the boss trying to punish us?"
Xie Chi ignored him and looked at the live broadcast room.
"Boss, we're here." Xie Chi said.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: The hide-and-seek range is the area occupied by the entire glass maze.
"Okay." Xie Chi responded, feeling strange.
If the scope of the hide-and-seek game is a glass maze, wouldn't it be better to just say "glass maze"? Why bother to say "the area occupied by the entire glass maze"? The glass maze is not equal to the area occupied by the entire glass maze. The place above his head where there is no glass is also counted in the "area occupied by the entire glass maze".
Xie Chi put this question aside for the time being, and walked towards the entrance of the maze with the fat man. The toll booth at the entrance of the maze had been destroyed, so they walked in without any obstruction . As soon as they stepped in, a green light suddenly lit up under their feet, and the fat man screamed in fright.
The light covered the entire floor of the glass maze. It was not bright green, but a dark green that was as eerie and mysterious as a wolf's eyes.
Xie Chi then realized that the bottom of the glass maze was also made of glass. They were standing on foggy glass like a bathroom. The glass glowed green under the green light.
Xie Chi tilted his head and explained to the fat man: "It's pressure-sensitive. When we step on it, the light turns on. It's a bit like the voice-activated lights at the entrance of the corridor."
The fat man heaved a sigh of relief: "Is that so? It's quite decent."
"Speaking of which, will this glass break? I'm so fat, I feel a little weak..." The fat man walked carefully step by step, just like a woman with bound feet.
Xie Chi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Countless distorted images of Xie Chi and the fat man appeared on the layers of green glass in front of them. With every step they took, the figures on the glass changed accordingly.
Countless selves are staring at themselves in the mirror.
"Ah... there's a bit of atmosphere. I feel a bit uneasy. There are so many eyes on me."
"It seems that not all mirrors are flat mirrors. That face is so distorted and scary, the facial features are all blurred and cracked..."
Sayaka, Sadako's younger sister: Now put the doll you brought under your feet and start hiding. In three minutes the doll will attract a ghost, and the ghost will start looking for you.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Ghosts can't see through, so you can hide without worry. But you must stay in the maze. If you leave the maze area, you will be killed by the ghosts even if you violate the rules.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: You have three chances to take photos.
Xie Chi frowned instantly. Clapping?
He had never played hide-and-seek before, but he knew the rules of the game. In order to prevent the hider from hiding too far away or too remote, and the seeker could not find him or it would take too long, there was usually a clapping rule in the game . The seeker could ask the hider to clap his hands to remind him of his location and narrow his search range.
But the boss now says they have three chances to take the photo...
Are they afraid that the ghosts won't be able to find them? They also need to remind the ghosts of their location...
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Don't get me wrong, this opportunity is good for you. When the ghost is about to catch you, you can use the opportunity to clap your hands. If you clap your hands, the ghost will stay where it is for ten seconds. Ten seconds is enough for you to escape, right?
"Brother, I still feel that there is something wrong with this rule." Xie Chi frowned.
Xie Xinglan's voice was slightly low: "Why do we have to clap to pause? In the game of hide-and-seek, making any sound is such a taboo..."
"I think so too." Xie Chi paused and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."
"Okay." Xie Xinglan said.
The fat man was a little scared: "Chi Zi, I thought the boss was going to play a trick on me and make me blow the northwest wind. Now it seems quite real. There can't be any ghosts..."
It was live streaming, and he couldn't say that he didn't believe there were ghosts in this world. After all, saying that would be like destroying his own job. He could only wink at Xie Chi and ask him what the hell was going on. He didn't believe there were real ghosts, but what his boss said was indeed so mysterious.
Xie Chi shrugged his shoulders, also with a bold look of disbelief, but he knew that if someone said it was a ghost chasing people, there must be a ghost.
Xie Chi was a little confused now. The boss had explained the rules in such detail that it didn't seem like he would tamper with the rules to kill them. Judging from the content of her words, the boss's position seemed quite fair. Was she an outsider arbitrator or did she have to explain the rules of the game to the participants for some reason?
Xie Chi pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Boss, what would happen if we were caught by a ghost?"
There was a sudden sound of contempt in the live broadcast room.
"Isn't this nonsense? If you are caught by a ghost, of course you will die!"
"Did the anchor's brain get caught in the door? So stupid!"
"Hurry up and start. Stop dilly-dallying. I'm getting a headache from all the rules."
Sadako's sister Sayaka: The game time is one hour from the moment you put down the dolls.
Xie Chi was wondering why the boss didn't answer his seemingly meaningless question.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Fatty, since you have joined the game, why don't you start a live broadcast and share the screen with him?
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then he quickly smiled and coaxed the boss: "Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
Three minutes later, half of Xie Chi's screen was filled with himself and the other half was filled with the fat man.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: The live broadcast must be kept on during the hide-and-seek game.
Xie Chi secretly clenched his phone.
There is glass all around, and no matter where he hides, his shadow will be left on the layers of mirrors, which is already extremely disadvantageous for him. Now there is another requirement that he must turn on his mobile phone. The light from the mobile phone screen is more conspicuous, which invisibly increases the difficulty of the game.
But it seems that the ghosts are not that powerful? The more rules that are harmful to them, the weaker the ghosts are. Rules are needed to maintain the balance of the game. Then according to the current unfavorable situation for them, ghosts may not even be much stronger than humans...
Xie Chi was confused.
"Brother, I leave my body to you." Xie Chi thought to himself.
"Okay." Xie Xinglan said.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Let's start. Put the doll on the ground and start running. The ghost is coming.
