Chapter 3 Prisoner's Game
[Ranking Notes: Complete the mission to successfully pass the level. 】
【The tasks are divided into "camouflage" and "main line". The system will give you an avatar and give you a specific character introduction. You need to play the role according to the system description. The degree of completion will affect the final settlement. In the final stage of the main mission, the assessment requirements are relaxed. Now is the best time for you to take off your disguise and reveal your true face! If the "curtain call" is triggered, your settlement evaluation will rise significantly! 】
[Warning: This is a immersive experience, and states such as hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and exhaustion are not blocked. Please replenish your energy in time. 】
A deep male voice ended at the end: "Having the mask taken off is a kind of failure, but taking off the mask is a kind of victory."
Cut scene CG lights up in the dark.
The blond young man Wei Miao saw before is the protagonist of the picture. He was wearing prison uniform and sitting on an iron chair, his thin, heavily shackled hands resting on the table, inside the iron room.
Next to him were two security guards with guns, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Outside the cage, opposite him stood a capable woman in a professional suit. She was holding a folder in her hand and was looking through something.
She closed the folder, frowned slightly, showing a look of disgust: "Heinous crime!"
The blond young man played with his fingers and looked at her calmly.
"Lorraine White." The woman called out his name, "You were supposed to step on the guillotine in a week, but now, there is an opportunity to choose you."
Lorraine ·White said politely: "Please speak."
"This is a life-threatening game. You will wear a high-tech collar with a miniature time bomb hidden in it. If it is destroyed, The collar will explode directly."
"Then you will go to a hotel with several death row prisoners. There is a magnetic card as a key hidden in a corner of the hotel. If you survive in the end, your death sentence will be. It will be converted into a life sentence, and if you behave well, you will have the opportunity to have your sentence reduced.”
The woman took out a silver collar and a white magnetic card with a red six-pointed star printed on the surface from the brown handbag.
She put the magnetic card close to the collar. First, there was a crisp snapping sound from the empty space, and then there was an electronic sound of "beep", and a scarlet countdown appeared on the LCD screen on the surface of the collar.
7:00:00.
As time passed, the numbers jumped and became 6:23:59.
She swiped her card again, the electronic screen flashed three times and the numbers disappeared.
Lorraine stared at the silver collar with a cold expression.
The woman said coldly: "The choice is up to you whether to participate in the game or not. We will sign a contract with you."
A few pages of paper bound together were handed to him by the guard. .
At this moment, the camera gave Lorraine a close-up. He carefully flipped through several pieces of paper and read them very carefully.
Soon, he raised his head and showed a strange smile, like the uncontrollable joy of a predator when he discovers his prey, his beautiful blue eyes sparkling.
He pondered for a while and said: "Is the key shared by everyone? Is there a risk of wandering in the hotel?"
Woman: "The key is shared. As for the hotel, you will know after joining the game. "
Lorraine took the pen and signed the contract in elegant writing: "That's it."
The woman took the contract away: "In a week, someone will pick you up. Get out of prison. "
Lorraine crossed her fingers and raised her head slightly. Her eyes seemed to have penetrated the dark walls of the prison and saw the daylight in the sky.
The picture disappears with a shattering effect, and the surrounding darkness fades.
Wei Miao saw her hand.
A pair of slender, well-jointed hands. Due to their thinness, the cyan blood vessels on the back of the hands are bulging.
It is also a pair of hands suitable for holding a knife.
The seat beneath her shook slightly. When she turned her head, she saw heavily armed guards sandwiching her on the left and right.
Looking up again, he was facing a rearview mirror. In the mirror, her face was no longer wearing a gray rabbit hood, but a familiar and delicate face, with piercing blue eyes, and something sharp hidden in the depths.
This is Lorraine's face.
Wei Miao quickly made a judgment on the current situation.
She was in a car being escorted by guards. Instead of using the player's body, she now replaces Lorraine, similar to role-playing.
Wei Miao saw her outfit clearly through the window glass and other means. It was exactly how Lorraine first appeared in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a striped white shirt, khaki pants, and black sneakers.
However, a silver collar has been put on his neck and the timer has started, like a pair of big hands strangling Wei Miao's throat.
The remaining time is 6:23:29. The time displayed on the on-board monitor is 08:31.
This can also explain why the supervision of a death row prisoner was so lax, without even handcuffs.
It seems that in order to give Wei Miao time to react, the task prompt came late.
[Introduction to the copy: This is a world where ghosts are rampant, and it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people and spirit exterminators. Lorraine White has been given a chance to avoid the death penalty if he can survive with your help. Such a heinous criminal, his life is in your hands. 】
[Number of players in this instance: 4]
[Main mission: Survive successfully after seven days. 】
[Disguise mission: Lorraine White]
[Keywords: gentle, gentleman, crazy, cold, low-key, pretending to be innocent, fighting expert]
Wei Miao After reading the introduction, I have a general understanding of the copy as a whole. Overall, this is probably a supernatural copy. Soon, the car stopped on the side of the road. The guard on one side got out of the car first. Wei Miao got out of the car. The guard on the other side followed her and grabbed her arm.
Wei Miao squinted her eyes slightly. The sunlight was strong and warm, making her body feel a little uncomfortable after being under artificial light for a long time.
What she saw in front of her was a tall and grand hotel, with signs of old weather on the surface.
Wei Miao walked into the hotel under the instructions of the guard.
Just as the mahogany door was about to close, she turned back and saw another car driving into the empty parking lot.
The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is spacious and bright. Sitting behind the counter is a brown-haired man with deep features. The stubble on his chin is neatly trimmed. He looks about thirty years old and has quite a temperament.
A man is already sitting on the long sofa opposite. He has disheveled hair and a tough face. His dark blue short shirt cannot hide his strong figure and muscular arms.
Wei Miao looked at her arm and then at him, feeling that this person might be able to crush her to death with one hand.
The most important thing is that he also wears a collar around his neck.
The man behind the counter didn’t even raise his head and was playing with his mobile phone: “Sit down first.”
Wei Miao consciously walked to the sofa and sat down across from the man.
"Hi, hello, my name is Anderson King!"
The stranger on the sofa grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and was the first to greet her.
Wei Miao responded gently: "I am Lorraine White."
"White." Anderson repeated her name, her rough voice lowered, "Do you play games? ”
Wei Miao: "I know how to play some."
Anderson: "Have you heard of the game 'Personal Mask'?"
Wei Miao understood his implication instantly: "You are a player "
There were virtual role-playing games before "Masquerade", but they were far inferior to it in terms of picture quality and immersion. In the game, the highly intelligent AI will distinguish the player's words and respond. If you discuss the "fact" that this is a game in person, you will even be regarded as crazy by the NPC and be killed by the plot.
So, Wei Miao replied: "Of course, this is a very interesting game."
Anderson showed a relieved smile: "That's good."
Suddenly, the hotel door was pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in, with wavy blond hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a white dress Wearing a long skirt, black stockings and high heels underneath, and a beige sweater on the upper body, she is elegant and charming.
Anderson's eyes were a little straight, and Wei Miao looked at her like a piece of art, her blue eyes calm and calm.
To be fair, she is a very charming beauty.
However, the collar locked around her slender neck is enough to prove that her beautiful skin may not be matched with noble qualities, but evil in proportion to her beauty.
"Hi!" She gave them a perfect smile.
"Sit down first, there is still one person left."
The man behind the counter still did not raise his eyes. In his eyes, except for his mobile phone, everything else seemed to be passing smoke.
The woman nodded slightly, walked toward them with cat steps, and meaningfully squeezed into the empty space between Wei Miao and Anderson.
Anderson's hands and feet were a little cramped and at a loss. Wei Miao smiled gently and said: "Good morning, beautiful lady, my name is Lorraine White."
The woman turned her head towards her, and Wei Miao could smell the faint scent of perfume on her body: "Hello, I am Edith Garden."
Anderson beside her regained the courage to strike up a conversation, smiling brightly. Introduce yourself.
It can be seen from his dizzy smile that this strong man has succumbed to her pomegranate skirt.
And this woman, to put it nicely, has the talent of a social butterfly, or to put it more to the point, she is sitting on the throne of Neptune, contemptuously confusing those who have the potential to lick dogs.
After a cryptic conversation about code, Wei Miao and Anderson confirmed Edith's identity as a player.
Soon, the last member arrived. He is a lean middle-aged man with a shaved head and sunken eye sockets. He is wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, and his face is covered with the weather of life.
Of course, the silver collar was also put around his neck.
This time, the man behind the counter finally put down his cell phone, stood up, took out four room cards from the counter drawer, and slapped them on the table.
Wei Miao, Anderson, Edith and the last man to arrive gathered around the counter, wanting to hear what this mysterious administrator had to say.
"They have told you the rules of the game. The magnetic card is hidden in a secret corner. Without it, you will become a suicide bomb in seven days and explode into a ball of flesh and blood fireworks in the hotel."
His voice was low, and his words were emotionless. His eyes looking at them couldn't focus, giving people a sense of contempt that was outside the incident.
"You will live on the third floor and choose any room card. Here, I only emphasize that anyone who breaks into my room without my permission will do so at their own risk."
Several people looked at each other and chose the keys one after another.
Wei Miao got 306.
"My name is Pisa, and I am the administrator of this hotel. I am only responsible for the maintenance of the hotel. Food for seven days is in the restaurant on the second floor, and the rest of the services are provided by myself."
After saying that, he picked up the phone, turned around and entered the back room, closing the door. The light in the room was dim, and it was impossible to see the layout clearly from a faint angle.
The four of them stood in front of the counter, with no intention of leaving.
