Chapter 060 Horror Mashup (15)
Xie Chi put the doll down as instructed by the boss, and the game officially began.
Fatty: "Should I go with you or should we run separately?"
Xie Chi thought for a second and said calmly, "Separate."
In a game of hide-and-seek, two people walking together would be too conspicuous, and once they are caught, both of them are finished. If they separate now, the ghost needs to look for them separately. While the ghost is looking for one person, the other will have a chance to catch his breath.
Xie Chi didn't trust the NPC partner given by this APP. He hated people who held him back, and the fat man had shown a tendency to be startled before. He would not let this partner who might fail at any time stay by his side.
It's enough for him to have a brother.
The fat man was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what he meant: "Okay, then let's separate. We'll meet at the entrance of the maze in an hour..."
The fat man still didn't seem to take it seriously, and said to the live broadcast room with a smile: "Then boss, we have to start hiding... Hurry up and let the ghost catch me hehe."
Xie Chi ignored him and let Xie Xinglan control his body as he quickly walked deeper into the glass maze.
His mind is full of questions now, but he can only hide for three minutes, and the ghost will come to catch them in three minutes. He has no time to think. Fortunately, he can let his brother control his body, and then he can think about all the questions himself.
There were too many problems. Hide-and-seek games are usually played indoors or semi-outdoors with many hiding places, but they were playing the game in a glass maze where they would be exposed no matter what.
Of course, this is not without any benefits. Since ghosts cannot see through things, there are countless of them on the glass. The ghost will of course be misled and unable to recognize which one is him and which is just a shadow, thus giving him some time to catch his breath.
Of course, when the ghost really appears, he will not be able to tell where the ghost is actually located, and thus miss the opportunity to escape.
There are both advantages and disadvantages. The glass maze is not a particularly bad place to play hide-and-seek. As long as he uses it well, he is not completely at a disadvantage.
Xie Chi's mind flashed quickly, and Xie Xinglan walked quickly, touching the glass.
In the dead silence and darkness, there was a sudden "bang" sound. Xie Chi was startled and his train of thought was interrupted.
"It's okay." Xie Xinglan comforted him, "The fat guy must have hit his head on the glass because he didn't see the road or the glass clearly."
Xie Chi was startled: "Brother, why are you walking so fast?"
When he asked, he found that Xie Xinglan had his eyes completely closed and was moving forward by feeling the glass with his hands.
Xie Xinglan explained: "I can't tell the way with my eyes, and it will mislead me, so I close my eyes and walk by feeling the glass, and remember the route with my brain, so that I can escape according to the route in my memory later."
Xie Xinglan now had the route he had just taken through that area in his mind.
Xie Chi felt indescribably relieved.
"Brother, will it bother you to talk to you?"
"Won't."
Xie Chi immediately said: "My rough estimate is that the difficulty of this level is unbalanced. Everything is too unfavorable to us."
There are two of them, and they can feel tremendous pressure when passing this level. The situation of the others will only be worse than theirs, and will never be better than theirs.
Xie Xinglan frowned and nodded. He felt the same way. Generally speaking, in movies, there is a reversal for every weird scene. However, this short film is full of weirdness, which means that there are mysteries and reversals everywhere. This is too difficult for the people who are trying to solve the puzzle, not to mention that they have to solve the puzzle while escaping. They can do two things at the same time, but what about other people?
Just as he was thinking of this, the phone in Xie Xinglan's hand suddenly vibrated.
Xie Xinglan paused for a moment, opened his eyes and glanced.
[Time is paused now. Because the new player Yu Jing chose the most difficult "Hide and Seek" in the initial room, all new players are given clues to reduce the difficulty and ensure the survival rate of new players. 】
Xie Chi thought to himself, "As expected." This level looks very difficult, and the APP has to use this method to neutralize the difficulty.
【The clue of this short film is: Too clever by half. 】
[There are two ways to pass this short film: 1. Survive the game for one hour; 2. Completely defeat the ghost. ]
[Friendly reminder: There is only one way to defeat the ghost in this short film. Actors are requested to explore and discover it on their own. ]
[And the doll is not important. It is just a hook to introduce hide-and-seek. Don't waste time on the doll and solve other problems. There is only one ghost brought by the doll. Actors, please don't panic.]
[The APP has difficulty requirements for this variety show. The average difficulty of the selected parts should not exceed 60. The difficulty of "Severed Finger" is 50, the difficulty coefficient of "Ghost Girl Dance" is 40, and the difficulty of "Hide and Seek" is 90. The average of the three difficulties has reached 60, so this is the last part of this variety show. Actors are requested to continue their efforts and complete the level as soon as possible. ]
"Too clever by half?" Xie Xinglan understood the meaning behind this.
Xie Chi had a headache. According to the literal meaning, the smarter you are, the more likely you are to fall into trouble in "Hide and Seek". Does it mean that thinking too much will lead to bad results? Or maybe the solution to the puzzle is very simple?
There is only one ghost, which is good news for them at the moment. One ghost catches two people. Plus, ghosts cannot see through things, so it seems that it takes a lot of energy for the ghost to catch people. This also relieves his pressure to a great extent.
[This clue gives me the feeling that the boss is going to fail. The smartest among the newcomers must be the boss, but the clue turns out to be too clever for his own good.]
[I am a little mentally retarded. Is there any big guy who can help me solve it? ]
[Now the questions are very clear: First, the identity of the boss, and the purpose of the boss letting the characters play hide-and-seek in the glass maze; second, the doubts about the area of the glass maze, what exactly does this area refer to; third, the significance of the clapping rule, is it good or bad; fourth, what is the method to defeat the ghost? I think there are five or six more, but I can't think of them. Big Brother Chi must know all these questions. After all, some of them are tested by himself, and you can clearly feel that he is testing. ]
[The previous part is already very impressive. ]
[Let's wait for the boss to break the impasse. I still feel quite safe here. You Jing is really too panicked and scary. ]
[I feel like a lot of people will die in this level! ]
Xie Xinglan switched back to the live broadcast room, which was already in an uproar. The audience was howling and screaming, some were terrified, and some were talking nonsense with excitement. It was obvious that this form of live broadcast had deeply stimulated them.
Three minutes passed in a flash.
On the glass where the doll was at the entrance of the maze, the doll's feet suddenly moved. It was still a doll, but on the dark green glass, a 1.6-meter-tall female ghost in white appeared! !
The female ghost had disheveled hair, and her entire face was hidden under her long black hair and could not be seen clearly. She was holding a pair of scissors in her pale hands.
At the same time, countless shadows of female ghosts appeared on the layers of glass.
Xie Xinglan had basically memorized the route of the maze at this time. When he opened his eyes, he just caught a glimpse of the twisted or crooked appearance of the female ghost on the glass.
The female ghost seemed to have started searching, and her shadow kept changing on the glass.
Xie Xinglan stopped walking and put a mirror against his back.
He heard faint footsteps from afar. Xie Xinglan had noticed before that the fat man's footsteps were heavy and deep, but this time the footsteps were light and quick.
"It seems like the female ghost will make footsteps when searching." Xie Xinglan said.
Xie Chi responded softly. This was good news for them. Xie Xinglan could leave in time to avoid risks when he heard the approaching footsteps.
The female ghost was clearly searching and did not touch the mirrors in front, behind, or around her. However, on the mirror behind her, her shadow slowly pressed her hand on the mirror, leaving a faint ghost handprint.
It is like the ticket checking in a gaming venue, marking the official start of the game, but it is also like a silent mockery of the participants in the game, and the first celebration of some kind of victory.
[What the hell is going on?? ! ! I am completely confused! ! ! ]
[Why does the shadow of a female ghost move differently from the female ghost? ? ]
On the fat man's side, a man was hiding in a corner, looking at the swaying shadow of the female ghost. The fat man was completely panicked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body was trembling.
Is there really a ghost? No, the fat man shook his head desperately. Someone must be playing tricks on them. Maybe the boss hired someone to play a trick on them!
But does he... want to abide by the rules of the game?
It's okay to obey it, right? After all, it's better to believe it than not to believe it...
The fat man didn't dare to move and clenched the lit mobile phone tightly. The light was bright and the fat man suddenly felt a great sense of security.
The fat man forced a smile and felt a sense of familiarity as he watched the comments quickly flashing through the live broadcast room.
He thought that he just needed to hold on for an hour, and he felt relieved. Although he was alone in this haunted place, there were so many living people in the audience accompanying him. If he was really scared, he could just stay where he was and talk to the audience in the live broadcast room.
The fat man thought so, closed his mouth, turned off the microphone and volume buttons on his phone, and started sending messages to communicate with the audience in the live broadcast room.
A minute passed and nothing happened.
The fat man was even more convinced that this was just a prank. Of course, since he had received the money, he had to act well and not expose the boss's tricks and embarrass him, so he still kept his mouth shut and stayed where he was.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: Is the fat guy here?
The fat man was stunned.
In the live broadcast room, the boss who had been silent before suddenly sent him a message on the public screen.
Because the boss gave their live broadcast room a lot of gifts, the name had turned into a dazzling purple, which was particularly eye-catching among the many black and white comments, and he could see it at a glance.
The fat man didn't dare to be negligent and replied immediately: Yes, I'm playing games as the boss told me to.
Sadako's sister Sayaka immediately sent another message.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: I'm watching your live broadcast. Where are you? I can't tell where you are at all. Where are you in the maze?
The fat man did not think much about it. He did not dare to disappoint his boss and he also felt that playing like this without any commentary would not be a good experience for the audience. So he began to look around and racked his brains to think of how to describe his position.
In order to prevent himself from getting lost, he always took the leftmost road at every fork in the road.
So the fat man replied on the public screen in the live broadcast room: I always take the leftmost one at all forks in the road.
Sadako's sister Sayaka: You are so smart. I never thought of it.
Xie Xinglan hid somewhere else, listening to the subtle footsteps in the glass maze while staring at the live broadcast room.
He also saw the conversation between the fat man and the boss.
The next second, Xie Xinglan's eyes suddenly focused.
The approaching footsteps suddenly faded away. The female ghost in the mirror, who was originally facing him, suddenly turned her back and walked in another direction.
The female ghost seems to have changed direction?
Xie Xinglan thought of something and his face changed suddenly. He lowered his head to look at the conversation between his boss and the fat man that had already swiped past on the phone screen. Without saying a word, he took off his coat and covered the phone screen with it.
As for the fat guy, he was squatting in the corner, interacting happily with the audience. When he looked up, he found a white shadow appearing not far away.
