7th Story 2
Escape Game 02
“I’m the president of Weitan Club, Lin Xiaotang.”
Under the dim light, the girl in the black robe had a thin figure, and her dark black eyes were like lake water, dark and cold.
The dark red pattern of the devil’s mask on her face made her chin pointed and small, pale and weak, revealing a thrilling aura.
“Are you the president?”
After hearing Lin Xiaotang’s words, some NPC frowned and looked suspicious.
He looked at Lin Xiaotang and said confusedly, “The president of Weitan Club, isn’t he a man?”
Faced with the NPC’s questioning, Lin Xiaotang calmly said, “I’m the new president.”
When she spoke, she deliberately changed. The voice sounded strange, rather dull.
“What about the former president?” another NPC asked.
“He wasn’t lucky enough and made a mistake.”
Lin Xiaotang didn’t answer the question directly.
She chuckled lightly, and swept her eyes lightly over these people: “A person who has made a mistake must go where he should go.”
Lin Xiaotang’s voice was cold, and the content of her words could be heard in the hearts of the surrounding players and stamp with panicked.
“Bad luck” committed, “made a mistake”, “goes where he should go”… These words combined, it is simply a clear indication that the former president has suffered misfortune!
There is something very wrong with a phantom dan club that only recruits students at night.
Now the president has suddenly turned into a suspected evil ghost. Looking at it this way, it seems to be in line with the setting of a horror escape game…
NPCs are not like players, they think so much.
After listening to Lin Xiaotang’s words, they suddenly realized in their hearts – it turned out that this was a new NPC sent by the Lord God to replace the former president.
I don’t know what mistake the former president made, and he was temporarily replaced.
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them.
Although NPCs look like people, they can still talk to the player.
But in the final analysis, they are just a program that has already been coded and they do not have much ability to think independently.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, the NPCs did not notice any problems.
They didn’t think about Lin Xiaotang to the new players who disappeared, because Lin Xiaotang gave them a feeling of the same kind.
This familiar feeling cannot be performed.
Moreover, in the escape game, there are a lot of new players who disappear inexplicably.
Some newcomers don’t believe that this is an escape game, and some newcomers want to be clever to escape the game, but they all paid a heavy price in the end – being obliterated by the main god of the game.
Besides, where can there be such a daring newcomer who can act without a single mistake?
…In this way, Lin Xiaotang successfully passed the first level and settled down as an NPC.
In this regard, it can be said that everything is under Lin Xiaotang’s control.
After being a boss for so many years, she knows the internal operation of the escape game very well.
She is not afraid to do this, the Lord God will not find out that it is wrong, after all, it has thousands of small worlds in its hands.
According to her experience, as long as the game can continue, it will not pay much attention to this side.
Unless, there is so much chaos in the game that the game is stuck and can’t go on at all.
And Lin Xiaotang’s purpose is precisely this.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaotang narrowed her eyes slightly and began to observe the students in front of her.
She found that there were a total of 12 students who came to interview, except for 3 NPCs, the rest were all players.
Among them, 3 players were obviously entering the game for the first time. Their expressions were slightly uneasy, and their eyes were looking around in a panic.
After seeing Lin Xiaotang, a timid girl turned pale with fright and almost cried.
The gentle woman next to the timid girl looked a little flustered, but her appearance was obviously much calmer.
Seeing her, Lin Xiaotang suddenly thought of a person—
the heroine in the original plot, Shu Qiuyi.
According to the plot, she and the original owner Shen Xiaoqiao really met in the first game.
And the remaining old players are all numb and lifeless, and there seems to be nothing special about them.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, but in reality, it was only a few seconds.
Soon, Lin Xiaotang withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, “Come in.”
Her words were like an instruction, which made the players and NPCs who were still stunned react one after another.
Everyone entered the classroom and took their seats on both sides of the conference table nervously.
After everyone sat down, some players couldn’t hold back their curiosity and asked, “President, what is the content of our interview?”
“Since you want to join the Weitan Club, your task is naturally to have be something to do with weird talk.”
After hearing his words, Lin Xiaotang said calmly: “Your task is to talk about a weird talk that happened in our school.”
After speaking, her tone paused: “Of course, you must include two factors of ‘supernatural’ and ‘death’.”
In the original plot, the specific content of this game is actually very obvious.
From the very beginning, the NPC told the player that their mission was to join the Ghost and Strange Talk Club and pass the interview of the club.
And the content of their interview is to tell a real strange story that happened in school.
There are a total of three days of interviews, and each day, players need to say a different strange story.
And these strange stories must contain elements of supernatural and death.
But then, there is a problem.
Players have just entered the game, how can they know what weird stories are going on in this school?
——So, in order to maintain the “authenticity” of the strange story, even if it is a temporary fake story, players need to make it real.
Players who have told the story of “Pen Xian” must play the Pen Xian game in the dormitory after returning.
Players who said that “after 12 midnight, the stairs on the fifth floor will change from the 12th floor to the 13th floor” also need to go to the fifth floor of the teaching building at 12 midnight and walk the 13th floor stairs in person.
And when they do these things, they will also experience the “supernatural” and “death” plots in their stories.
From another point of view, Wei Tan Club is like an alternative wishing pool.
As long as it is a story told by the player, it will become a reality.
So, there are two ways to pass the game.
The first one is to survive three days of interviews by making up a temporary story.
Of course, there will always be smart people who can use their words skillfully to avoid the dangers in the story.
However, this is also a kind of strength, which is allowed by the game.
The second is to use all kinds of clues and information to talk to the NPCs, dig out the real supernatural stories that happened in this school, and tell them in the interview as strange stories.
That way, players don’t have to take the risk of “playing” geeks.
Lin Xiaotang didn’t intend to violate the rules of the game, otherwise these NPCs would definitely find out that there was something wrong with her.
However, it is not impossible to play a little fun within the scope of the rules.
After telling the general rules of the game, Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly when she looked at the people present.
“I’m tired of hearing ordinary supernatural stories,” she said casually. “This time, I want to hear a different story.”
“A different story?”
The players who were talking about the school were stunned for a moment.
Someone glanced at Lin Xiaotang and asked cautiously, “… President, what kind of story do you want to hear?”
“The story of Wei Tan Club,” Lin Xiaotang said, “anything about Wei Tan Club can be told.” As she spoke, she added meaningfully: “Especially, related to the former president.”
As I said before, during the interview, the player seemed to have acquired the ability to speak words. .
As long as it is a strange story they tell, it will become true when they “participate in” afterwards.
So, why didn’t she use this setting to make the game more confusing?
