Chapter 266 The House of the Dwarves(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City] (including supplementary updates on November 7)
At the moment when the rules of the game were announced, You Xi realized that this was definitely not the normal process that fairy tale paradise should have.
Today, she has been checking in at various amusement facilities to find the possibility of triggering task prompts. But now thinking about it, this is an S-level site, so it is very likely that various events have occurred, and the situation has even deteriorated to a certain extent.
Artificial?
It is indeed possible, but - can humans achieve this?
The amusement park outside the hotel should be closed, but suddenly operates automatically. Such loud bells and strange child sounds, coupled with the flashing lights and noisy music of the amusement facilities, even tourists who were sleeping well should be awakened at this time.
But at this moment, in other rooms on the left and right sides of her room, tourists were still asleep quietly and showed no sign of waking up.
On other floors of this hotel, some tourists pushed open the terrace door and looked at the dingdongdong amusement park outside with a confused look on their faces, looking at their bracelet in confusion: "What's going on? What's the nightmare paradise?'The Queen's Magic Mirror'? Haven't you been to this facility during the day? What does it mean to ask me to go there again?"
You Xi thought in an instant that the awakened tourists were the tourists who were drawn, so she...
She immediately clicked on the bracelet, and Sure enough, after the three-dimensional screen jumped out, a line of blood-red words appeared on it: You have been drawn to participate in the night playground game activities, please open the map of this amusement area.
You Xi opened the map as required. On the originally dark gray three-dimensional map, there was a recreational facility lit up with golden light.
She clicked on the facility, and the originally small icon immediately enlarged automatically. The three-dimensional picture and name of the facility appeared: Dwarf House.
Outside the "Dwarf House" rides.
"What the hell is going on? Have you never heard of such night special events in fairy tale parks?" A thin man pushed his glasses on his nose and frowned and looked at the lit amusement facilities in front of him.
"What kind of surprise?" A middle-aged white man touched.
"Is this a surprise? Which surprise is so inexplicable? My friend obviously lives in the same room with me, but she didn't respond no matter how I called her!" A red curly woman standing behind a white man looked very bad, "And the voice just now said... If you don't participate in the game, you will die. What surprises would be used in this way, I think it's more like a prank incident!"
"It's possible!" On the other side, a mixed-race woman in sexy pajamas stroked her long hair, "It's not Star Live? I didn't even change my clothes, so I was so sleepy that I wanted to go back and continue sleeping..."
Some people are puzzled, some are cautious, and some are not at all taking this matter to heart.
"What should we do? Are we really going to go in?" A young girl snuggled up to her boyfriend, who woke up with her boyfriend. "Who is playing tricks, why are the things that look beautiful during the day now scary..."
You Xi, who was standing in the crowd, raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Indeed, it is clearly the same building facilities, and it is also full of childish and dreamy lights and colors, but under the dark blue night sky at midnight, it is filled with an indescribable feeling, as if it is a hint of... evil.
She clicked on the bracelet again, opened the playground map, and carefully confirmed whether the lit icon and the game facilities in front of her were the same place.
Twenty minutes ago, when she wanted to contact her teammates on another planet through her bracelet, she found that neither voice or video call could be answered.
Afterwards, she tried to contact the hotel customer service, park customer service and even guards, but all communications seemed to be cut off by an invisible thing.
Now, she has confirmed from other tourists that other unselected tourists cannot be woken up at all.
So, from the moment the midnight bell rang, those who were chosen to participate in the night playground were completely isolated.
She finally contacted the other three people in the team group through the mobile phone of the Endless Train World.
Almost as she sent the message out, the other three also came one after another. It turned out that they woke up because of the bell and then found that they were selected to participate in the night playground project.
Today is the first day for the four of them to arrive at the site, but they are all selected to participate in the nightmare paradise. The draw rate is a little too high.
But the rules of the game have been announced, and everyone agreed that the most important thing at the moment is to complete the game first and if you have any ideas, you can wait until you discuss it later.
She walked all the way from the hotel she checked in to here, passing by several lit amusement facilities in the middle, and found that the number of tourists in each place ranged from about twenty to thirty people.
When the number of people reaches the game standard, the entrance to the amusement facility in front of them will automatically open, and the young children's voices I had heard from the inside of the facility are announced, announcing that the amusement project will start in ten minutes. All tourists participating in this project are asked to enter immediately.
Generally, among the tourists who are waiting and watching, as long as one of the tourists walks in, other tourists will hesitate to follow in.
Of course, occasionally there will be one or two tourists who are hesitant and never make up their minds to enter.
Because she rushed toward the lit facilities, she did not stay in other places for too long, and she did not know what tourists who had stayed outside the recreation facilities for more than time would encounter...
Five minutes later, a few more people came outside the "Dwarf House". You Xi counted secretly, and there were currently 19 people.
The entrance outside the amusement facility was originally closed and the entrance opened automatically. The neon lights in the passage also began to flash, and the young childish voice came from the depths of the passage. In terms of tone and tone, it was almost exactly the same as what You Xi heard outside other amusement facilities.
——Hehehe, I’m very happy to meet everyone. I am the 32nd NPC. Please enter the venue as soon as possible. The game will start in ten minutes.
——Note that the amusement venue will be closed in ten minutes, and visitors who fail to enter in time will be considered a game failure.
You Xi turned off his bracelet and walked in first.
"Dwarf House" is an immersive experience ride, creating a realistic fairy tale forest and several forest huts within the huge venue.
There are seven servings of tableware and food on the tables in each forest hut, and seven identical beds are on the side.
Here, visitors can play Snow White or any one among the dwarfs, wear medieval costumes, enjoy ancient food (modified version), and meet friends...
The roles not selected by tourists will be played by the staff in the park, who will create and arrange emergencies, such as the occurrence of Snow White hiding into the forest cabin, allowing the vicious stepmother to show up to deliver ribbons, combs and apples, and a happy bonfire party.
The surrounding forests and forest huts can change their colors and locations at will, including the weather, rainbows and waterfalls, which can be used to change the scene, making visitors who come in feel that they have really traveled through time and space and went to the world in the story.
You Xi played the role of a dwarf here during the day, mined gold in a mine, and watched other tourists playing Snow White or even the queen, so he knew the general process of the game here.
At this moment, in the middle of the forest in the venue, tall trees automatically moved away, revealing the faint red circle around and the forest hut in the middle. The door of the hut was open, and a slender man stood at the door and welcomed the tourists with a huge smile.
You Xi looked at the other person for two seconds, and then found that the huge smile on the other person's face came from a mask similar to a real person on his face. The mask was lifelike, exquisite and perfect, even his eyes were complete, and there was not even a vent on it.
There are no eye holes and no air holes. How does the other party breathe and how can he see clearly outside through the mask?
The other tourists walked in confusion and had not noticed the strangeness of the person. This was the first amusement park staff they saw after waking up in the middle of the night. While breathing a sigh of relief, someone immediately complained and walked over, expressing his dissatisfaction with the prank that disturbed their rest.
"The game begins soon, please be calm and wait patiently." The staff wearing a mask spoke, but the young voice of a child who made his scalp numb.
The red curly-haired woman closest to the other party was scared to take a step back. She hesitatedly looked at the face with a huge smile, not understanding why the other party wanted to speak in a different voice.
"Hey, don't go too far!" The middle-aged white man frowned, "We have already said that we don't like such pranks and don't want to participate in any night amusement park. Your superior, let him come out to see me, I want to complain about the inexplicable fear and disrespect of the guests in the park!"
But the staff member was still standing there, speaking in a young childish voice again, repeating the same words: "The game starts soon, please be careful not to be impatient and wait patiently."
"I told you not to scare people! Why do you still speak in this voice?" This tender voice and a human-like mask make people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. The white man became impatient, took a step forward, and directly reached out to pull off the other person's mask.
"Ahhh..." The other party made a surprised voice, and he didn't expect that the mask would be pulled off directly.
The white man who pulled off the mask stared at the other person with wide eyes and was frightened to take two steps back.
Under the human-like mask is a white face.
No, that cannot be called a face. There will be facial features on a normal face, but there is only a black line on his face in the mouth. At this moment, the line opened and closed, and was continuing to speak in a tender voice: "Have you seen enough?"
"He" tilted his head slightly, as if it was a very naive move, but the appearance of "him" only makes people feel creepy.
A blood-red tongue poked out from the black gap and gently licked the non-existent lips: "The tourists who disturb NPC are not good tourists... Hehe, you can deal with it-"
The last word had not yet fallen, and the other party reached out and took off his hat, and his head suddenly twisted 180 degrees back, revealing another face behind.
It was a cute and joyful face, a childlike mask worn by the staff when they played the dwarf during the day, but at this moment, the mask seemed to be alive, not only could it open its mouth, but it also showed sharp fangs.
He bit the white man's neck, and the artery on his neck was bitten and blood gushed out instantly.
The white man covered his neck, because his throat was bitten and made only a string of broken bubbles, and then fell stiffly to the ground.
The tourists froze for two seconds, then screamed in horror. Some were scared and unable to move. Some turned around and ran out of the venue. Some opened their bracelets and tried to call the guards again.
The man or the "thing" who didn't know what it was raised up his face. His originally opened mouth had closed, but he was still a happy and cute face, but his face was covered with sticky blood.
"He" glanced at the tourists running out and stood indifferently.
The entrance and exit outside the venue are slowly closing. Time is coming and the game is about to begin. Someone runs in front regardless of everything and runs out before the entrance and exit door is closed.
But as the entrance and exit of the amusement venue closed, the bracelets on the wrists of those tourists who ran out suddenly began to flash red light, and the next second the red light exploded, and the tourists' bodies were burned into black powder by the explosion of red light and scattered all over the ground.
The tourist who had not had time to run out and lay on the glass door took two steps back in horror, his face pale as if he was dead.
The next second, tourists immediately reacted and took the bracelet on their wrists, hoping to get this dangerous thing out of their bodies, but no matter how hard they used, the bracelet seemed to grow on their wrists.
Someone took out the tool to pry it out, but after using two force, the light screen of the bracelet automatically opened, and blood-colored warning words appeared on it: Those who forcefully remove the bracelet will be regarded as a failure of the game.
The tourists' forced picking action stopped immediately.
No. 32 NPC sighed regretfully, muttering that it was too wasteful, and put on the hat, turned around and put on the mask of the person being pulled off, and returned to the normal staff: "The game is about to begin, listen to the rules."
This time, no tourists made any more noise.
“Immersive Playing Game: We’re all Snow White.
Rules: The queen's soldiers are chasing me. Within five minutes, choose a place within the red circle and hide. Within half an hour, the "Snow White" who was not found by the soldiers won.
Note: You are a weak and unbearable "Snow White". You cannot resist the soldiers. Any counterattack will be considered a violation. The violator will fail in the game."
On the 32nd, NPC finished reading the game matters, put his hand on his chest, bent down to the terrified tourists in front of him, "The game - start!"
As the other party's voice fell, the bracelet on You Xi's wrist jumped out of a small countdown: 4 minutes and 59 seconds.
She looked up and No. 32 NPC was moving neatly and weirdly like a monkey, and rushed up to a big tree next to her. The trunk was straight and smooth, and there was not even a branch at the low point. I don’t know how that thing climbed up.
Other tourists around were panicked and ran desperately, looking for a place to hide, but You Xi stood there without moving.
This type of game reminded her of infinite stream novels again. Generally speaking, as long as it is a game, it will not only give a decisive ending.
The red circle has a small area, only a forest hut, a thick and tall grass, a pool, a two-meter-wide river, a wooden bridge built on the river, and a few tall trees around it.
In the story, Snow White was released by a servant who was found in conscience and came to the forest to see the dwarf wooden house, and there was no soldier chasing her at all. According to normal ideas, Snow White should hide in the wooden house and find a hidden place to hide herself.
For Snow White, the dwarf cabin is equivalent to a shelter.
Many of the other tourists thought of this, rushing into the wooden house, some hiding in the cabinet, some hiding under the bed, and some hiding in the fireplace.
