Open doll shop in escape games

Chapter 5 Play with me

The doll shop opened for only six hours on its first day, but word spread quickly.

In less than one night, most of the residents of Angers knew that the doll shop had reopened. The shop manager was nice and gentle, and he was very patient with children!However, the rules in the store seem to have changed. Children have to earn points to buy dolls.

After closing the door, Hughes asked inexplicably: "Why does the store manager ask the children to earn money to buy dolls by themselves? Wouldn't it miss a lot of customers?"

"Children are very playful and forgetful. They may like it for a while, but they will find it boring after a while. The dolls they earn for themselves will make them cherish it even more." Yan Lou laughed, "Although there are many fewer customers. , but there are also fewer abandoned dolls.”

Hughes was silent for a while, and said for the dolls in the store: "Thank you, manager."

Yanlou waved his hand and said, "You put two prices on the dolls in the store, and the dolls bought by children with their own money will be half the price."

"When opening the shop, ask Tang Ji to prepare some tea and snacks for the children who come here." Yan Lou instructed, "In addition, choose a few smart shop assistants from the idle dolls. Help them find a suitable place."

Hughes responded one by one.

It was just after midnight, Yanlou planned to go to sleep.

The main building of the apse is exclusively for the store manager. Some objects left by the previous store manager look strange, such as the crystal balls hanging from the ceiling, with hazy mist and light spots inside.

The things looked beautiful, but Yanlou always got hit on the head when he didn't want to walk, so he asked the dolls to come in and clean it up.

The master bedroom on the second floor is large, with soft carpets on the floor, and a large bathtub in the bathroom next to it.

Yan Lou took a hot bath, the temperature was a little high, but as a gloomy ghost, a higher temperature would make him feel warm.

In less than ten minutes, the water in the bathtub was completely cool, Yan Lou got up wrapped in a bathrobe, and her long wet hair became soft quickly after leaving the water.

He looked at himself in the mirror, the biggest change should be the long hair, his face was still the same as before, only a little paler.

The sword eyebrows flew into the temples obliquely, the phoenix eyes were slender and sharp, and the color of the eyes was pale. There was a small tear mole under the left eye. When she was not smiling, she looked cold and distant, but when she smiled, it was easy to make people feel flirtatious.

Just like his adoptive mother commented, he was born with a look of ruthlessness, fortune and fate, and he really complied with this sentence when he was alive.

Fortunately, he used to practice smiling in front of the mirror every day, and finally people felt that he smiled gently. This gentle appearance has become a habit of his, and it has already been carved into his bones.

He smiled slowly at himself in the mirror, and said softly, "Good night, sweet dreams."

The sky was about to dawn, and Nicholas finally finished his busy work and returned to the palace.

Brian was already prepared, stepped forward to hand over a hot towel, took his coat, and then asked someone to deliver dinner.

Nicholas propped his forehead, squeezed the space between his brows wearily, and asked, "How long will it be before dawn."

Bryan replied: "Half an hour. Your Majesty, you need to rest."

Nichols nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "How about the city of Angers?"

"The doll shop opened last night, and the residents of Angers City are very happy. There will be a steady stream of news in the past few days." Brian smiled, "The residents have a high opinion of the new store manager. He It's very popular, both with kids and with young women."

Nichols slightly hooked his lips, "He is a smart man, so we don't need to worry too much. What about the others?"

Brian smiled slightly, "Eileen hasn't made any movement, but I think she has got the news."

Nicholas frowned slightly, and said, "Look at her, and report to me if there is any situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maid brought a hot meal, but Nicholas had no appetite.

Seeing that he was not interested, Brian took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, your birthday will be next month. Do you need to make some preparations?"

Nichols waved his hand, "No, it's just a birthday, it's the same as in previous years."

"Then the flowers that Rhine City paid tribute this year...?"

Nicholas raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said amusedly: "You are the head of the palace, I will leave these matters to you, you can change them however you want, do you need to ask me every time?"

Brian smiled slightly, "Because I have selfish intentions, I always have to go through the motions in order to deceive myself and others."

Nicholas shook his head helplessly, "Let's change it, I have to come here every year on my birthday, I'm used to it."

Brian smiled and said nothing.

In the dark world, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sunlight during the day is also very gentle.

Especially in the early morning, the sun takes over from the full moon to rule the sky, and the light cast from afar brings the coolness of the night.

Yan Lou woke up on the edge of the bed. He stared at the ceiling in a daze for a few minutes, then slowly retracted his legs hooked to the edge of the bed, rolled his whole body on the soft carpet a few times, and his bewildered brain finally came to his senses. come over.

There is no sleep in being a ghost. After so many years, I finally got a good night's sleep. I accidentally fell into a deep sleep. By the way, I exposed my strange sleeping position.

He got up slowly, changed his clothes and went downstairs with a smile on his face. Tang Ji had already prepared a hearty breakfast for him, and Yanlou was quite satisfied with it.

After eating, Yanlou wiped his mouth and said to Hughes, "I'm going to check out the copy today, starting with the D-level copy."

Hughes was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily: "Do you need me to accompany you?"

"Although there are some experience records in the manual, the dungeon is still too unfamiliar to me. I need you to explain it to me when I enter the dungeon for the first time." Yanlou said, "Also, call kill-9."

The kill series uses a shift system to open dungeons. Generally, they will not enter the dungeon at the same time. There will always be one or two left in the store to protect the safety of the store manager and the doll shop. This is the only group of dolls that can work in shifts in the doll shop.

The teleportation array in the nave can be teleported by entering the copy number or world coordinates, and the store manager does not need to be so troublesome to enter the doll copy. He can directly open the door with the power ring through the doll or the nameplate of the copy.

Passing through the light gate broken by the power ring, Yan Lou came to a somewhat old house.

Before he came here, he had read the records of this dungeon. The core of the dungeon was a doll named Duoduo, and the spirit body was a ghost attached to the doll.

Duoduo is a nine-year-old boy who was unable to go out because of a sudden strange disease. His parents tried to seek medical treatment but failed. The family could no longer afford his treatment, so Duoduo was given up.

His parents locked him in the attic, and Duoduo looked out of the attic window every day.He saw his little friends playing happily, and saw his parents trying hard to conceive a healthy child. Everyone forgot about him, only an ugly doll remained by his side.

The doll was his childhood toy, and he was thrown in the corner when he got tired of playing with it, but now it is Duoduo's only playmate.

Not long after his younger brother was born, Duoduo, who was forgotten, died of illness. His soul was attached to the doll, but his relics were locked in the attic by his parents, and Duoduo still had no way to leave.

Because of the many lessons learned from the past, the parents are very worried about the health of his younger brother Yangyang, and they do not allow him to run around. Overprotection has resulted in Yangyang having no friends.Until one day, Yangyang opened the door of the attic, and he had an older brother who would accompany him.

The parents soon discovered Yangyang's anomaly, and they were not delighted by Duoduo's existence, but wanted to get rid of the strange doll in horror.

Yangyang refuses to let his parents hurt the doll, and during the dispute, Yangyang is accidentally pushed into the stove and burned to death.

Duoduo was angry about his younger brother's death. He remembered the forgotten time, and remembered that his younger brother was always depressed because he had no playmates, so he turned his parents, childhood playmates, and accidental travelers into dolls to accompany them.

The above is the record of this dungeon and doll in the manual, the content is very detailed, but from Duoduo's previous records, Yanlou did not find him to have a special aggressiveness, so where did the abnormality of the dungeon come from?

Yan Lou looked around the old house, the tables, chairs and furniture were covered with a layer of dust, the room was empty, not a single person could be seen.

"Hiding?" Yan Lou raised his eyebrows, and said to Kill-9 and Hughes beside him, "Find him."

There are several reasons for choosing to cause trouble during the change of store manager.

One is people like Beatrice who want to get out of the control of the game, or have greater ambitions, so they look for opportunities to escape when the doll shop is weak.

The second is that he has a high spirit and is unwilling to be ruled by the weak, so he intends to test the ability of the new store manager.

The third is that there is a desire to raise it when the store manager changes, or test the bottom line of the new store manager to seek more benefits for himself.

Duoduo chose to dodge instead of attack, that is the third situation, and they can negotiate.

If it is not necessary, Yan Lou does not want to use force. If the doll is broken, he will have to repair it by himself, and even if the copy is broken, it will be his doll shop that will suffer.

"A lot?" Yanlou brushed away the dust on the sofa, and said gently to the empty hall, "If you want to talk to me, hiding is not a good way."

There was no sound in the house, but Yanlou was not in a hurry.

He sat down on the sofa upright, waiting for the feedback from Kill-9 and Hughes.

After checking the yard and other places on the first floor, Hughes said, "I found no sign of him."

Then kill-9 came down with a string of plastic dolls, these were people who were turned into dolls by Duoduo, and they were controlled by Duoduo.

"Not above." kill-9 said briefly.

Hughes said: "The scope of the copy is only this house and yard. He can't go anywhere else, so he must be hiding somewhere."

Yan Lou signaled kill-9 to put the dolls on the table. These dolls were all rough plastic toys, and they were scattered on the table motionless, looking soulless.

He said to the motionless dolls, "I know you're here, you can't hide forever."

The dolls were unmoved, Yanlou continued: "If I open the instance, you can come out no matter where you are hiding, but if I catch you..."

The dolls suddenly turned their heads and shouted in a shrill voice: "No!"
