Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

For a moment, the charred corpses wailed continuously, and were engulfed in the raging fire, turning into piles of black ashes.

This time, they no longer had any chance of standing up.

When all the charred corpses were completely destroyed, Jiang Lai was about to step forward to check the situation, but unexpectedly, he heard a crisp thud.

When that crisp sound was heard, there was silence all around, and all other sounds ceased.

Jiang Lai also came back to his senses because of the crisp sound.

When she came to her senses, she realized that there were no alleys that had caught fire, no ruins of houses, and no charred corpses that had turned into piles of black ashes.

The only thing in front of me is a screen with a landscape painting on it.

When she saw the screen, she suddenly thought of something.

Just then, two men came up and removed the screen.

Behind the screen, there was only one person, a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler.

After seeing those items and that person, Jiang Lai suddenly became enlightened!

It turned out that everything she had just experienced was just the ventriloquism performed by the storyteller, which brought her into a fantasy world.

"There is a ventriloquist in the capital. When he holds a grand banquet for guests, he sets up an eight-foot screen in the northeast corner of the hall. The ventriloquist sits in the middle of the screen, with only a table, a chair, a fan, and a ruler..."

hiss!

No wonder she always felt that everything she had just experienced seemed to give her a very familiar feeling.

Including a skit that happened when the neighbor's family was sleeping at night, the appearance of rats, and then a sudden fire in the alley...

Aren’t these the same contents as described in the ancient article “The Art of Mimicry”?

Of course, this story is quite different from the original text of "The Art of Ventriloquism" in the textbook.

For example, the danger of being surrounded by charred corpses appears later in the story.

As the fire raged, everyone fled in a panic, a trap set specifically for her as an outsider.

If she hadn't noticed the danger in time, she might have been hit.

After all, when negative conditions appear, she will inevitably be affected.

And at the beginning, she was suppressed and lay in bed unable to move.

She finally got out of the predicament and regained her freedom of movement. It can be said that that point in time was the moment when her psychological defenses were most relaxed.

And everything she experienced was very cleverly stuck at this time point, successfully taking advantage of her condition at the time.

It can be said that those charred corpses, or the storyteller who arranged this show behind the scenes, were very close to success.

Of course, the final result was a miss.

Jiang Lai muttered the contents of the ancient text "The Art of Ventriloquism". She raised her head and looked towards the storyteller. Suddenly, she began to applaud loudly, expressing her affirmation of the ventriloquist's performance.

The storyteller was naturally very happy to see that his performance was recognized by the audience.

He clasped his hands together, returned the greeting, and then left.

Before leaving, he raised his hand and threw a key to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai then noticed that she had returned to the small town where she had watched the bamboo-jointed opera performance before.

However, she was only paying attention to the bamboo-jointed people's stage performance at that time, and later her attention was attracted by the Cuju in Wenling. Naturally, she did not notice that a wealthy family in this town was holding a banquet and had invited an artist to perform ventriloquism.

Probably because he had not been tricked before and had gone away with those charred corpses, Jiang Lai obtained the red key through the game this time in less than an hour.

This also means that she has less than two hours to explore the puzzle world.

Jiang Lai estimated that the door to leave this copy world was the door of a wealthy town family where a banquet was held and ventriloquist was invited.

In order to explore a little more here, Jiang Lai did not leave directly through the door, but first explored the rich family's mansion.

Finding that there was nothing here, she decided to... climb over the wall and leave.

Unexpectedly, her attempt to take advantage of loopholes and curry favor was directly exposed by the rules of the game!

The moment she climbed over the wall, she was back in room 313.

Jiang Lai twitched his lips helplessly and transferred points to others to report his safety.

She thought that the others were probably still exploring the puzzle world and would not send her a signal for help for the time being, so she started wandering around the third floor.

Unexpectedly, this time, she once again received a distress signal from Fu Qiming!

Moreover, this time, Fu Qiming first told Jiang Lai the room number he was in, and then transferred one point to her three times in a row!

This is enough to show that Fu Qiming is currently in a very critical situation!

After receiving the signal from Fu Qiming, Jiang Lai went to Room 606 where Fu Qiming was without much hesitation.

She solved the Go endgame on the table, entered the world where Fu Qiming was, made some divination, and found Fu Qiming.

But she never expected that when she found Fu Qiming, he was seriously injured and fell unconscious!

Jiang Lai hurriedly helped Fu Qiming to a relatively safe place nearby, and asked Jixiang to be on guard nearby. She herself fed Fu Qiming the healing medicine she had exchanged from the system mall.

To her surprise, Fu Qiming still showed no signs of waking up after taking the medicine!

Jiang Lai frowned and had to let Daisy carry Fu Qiming on her back. Then he spent a hundred merit points and calculated the puzzle task that Fu Qiming needed to complete.

After taking a look at the remaining 279852 merit points, she asked Daisy to carry Fu Qiming on her back and followed him back to where Fu Qiming had just been. She spent forty minutes completing the puzzle game for him and got an orange key. She took Fu Qiming to find a door, left the puzzle world, and returned to room 606.

When she was helping Fu Qiming back to Room 606, something suddenly fell out of Fu Qiming's pocket.

Jiang Lai picked up the thing and found that it was a game prop.

[Recorder]: A-level prop. Description: A mini portable recording tool.

Jiang Lai frowned.

She felt that before Fu Qiming fell into a coma, he must have used this recorder and left her some important clues.

She picked up the recorder and pressed the play button.

Sure enough, the voice that Fu Qiming had recorded in advance came from the recorder.

"Advisor Jiang, after entering this puzzle dungeon, I specially told myself a fortune..."
