Serious people who keep a diary

After taking him to the designated place, the staff quietly left. At this time, the voice of field control also came from the headset: "Now everyone can take off the blindfold."

Wen Xia took off the blindfold, and the room he was in looked like a small, simple room. The neon light hanging on the wall was the face of a clown, glowing with red and blue interlaced dim lights.This is the only light source in the room.

No outside sound can be heard in the room, and each of them wears a decibel meter.

They are challenging the highest level of difficulty, so one of the precautions is to try not to make loud noises. If the sound exceeds the decibel limit, the decibel meter will sound an alarm, which will attract "bad things".This bad thing refers to ghosts played by real people.

However, this does not mean that you will not encounter ghosts if you make a small voice, but that you will definitely attract ghosts if you make a loud voice.

There are two solutions for encountering NPCs, one is to run without being caught, and the other is to find a place to hide.The hiding place is also particular, it must be closed on all sides, such as cabinets, wardrobes and other things with doors that can be opened and closed.Of course, the room is also available, but the room is in danger of being broken into by a broken door or broken window, while cabinets and wardrobes are 100% safe, and the setting is a blind spot for ghosts.

If you are caught by an NPC, you will not be out of the game immediately, but will be locked in the animal taming cage of the circus, and then other players will find the key of the animal taming cage to rescue their partners.The rescue has a time limit. If the time limit is exceeded, the people in the animal training cage will be regarded as killed by the mouth of the beast, that is, they will be out of the game.

Taking advantage of the weak light, Wen Xia looked around the room, the door was naturally locked. Needless to say, Lin Fengqi and the others should be in the same situation as him. They were all locked in a certain room, so this is the key to the entire secret room. first round.

He leaned closer to look at the lock, probably because of the first level, the lock is the simplest combination lock, you only need to find the corresponding digital information in the room.

Generally speaking, after the precautions were repeatedly emphasized, no one would make too much noise at this time, and Wen Xia walked around without hearing any movement.But this is a mistake.

Because at least the environment he is in now is absolutely safe, with the door locked and no windows.

So Wen Xia asked with a slightly higher normal volume: "Is anyone near me locked in the room?"

The decibel meter didn't go off.

Someone next to me responded: "I. Uh... hello."

One of two high school girls.

They didn't exchange names, they just played together in a secret room. Wen Xia approached the wall and asked her, "Is your place safe? No windows?"

"No, the door is locked too."

"Row."

Wen Xia didn't restrain her volume when she spoke. If there were other people in the neighborhood, they should be able to hear them too, but the only one who responded to him was this little girl.

Since there was no one else around, he opened his voice with confidence and shouted: "If you are in a safe situation, please hear this sentence and confirm your respective positions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the decibel meter sounded an alarm.

After a while, there were footsteps approaching the door, and then someone outside frantically knocked on the door.

At the same time, there were voices from different distances, Wen Xia calmly listened to the knocking on the door, but there was no voice from Lin Fengqi.

And because of the response of the few people just now, they also faintly heard the sound of the siren, so the footsteps at the door left chaotically and went elsewhere.

After the NPC left, Wen Xia quickly searched for clues from the room, and solved the password in a short while. At the same time, he also found a small flashlight with a weak light but better than nothing.

After unlocking the lock, he opened the door carefully, and first observed the situation outside with a flashlight.There is a corridor outside. There is no room on the opposite side, but a wall with many oil paintings and photos. The left side is a dead end, and the right side is a fork in the end. You can turn left and right, forming a T shape.

Wen Xia recalled in his mind the route of turning left and right when the staff brought him here, and he got a little idea.

After confirming that there was no danger, he slipped out of the room.The little girl was in the room next to him, but the door of the next room was not next to his, and she could only see it after turning right at the end of the corridor.

From the room to the end there was another big corridor, Wen Xia turned right first and found the door of the next room, the internal and external cooperation finally took the little girl out.

It was the first time for the little girl to play in the Chamber of Secrets. She looked very lively and bold from the outside, but she was a little bit frightened when she was actually in the room. Wander around for a while.

There is no flashlight in her room, which means that this thing is not prepared according to the head, it is a scarce resource.

Wen Xia looked around, and finally decided to continue to the right. This is the route he was brought here. He was the last one to be imprisoned in the small black room. Then he should be able to find other people who were imprisoned in their own way. Room.

The surroundings are dark, the scene is dilapidated and gloomy, and many of the paintings on the wall are weird clowns, or old photos that are yellowed and splattered with blood.

The little girl followed Wen Xia in fear.

The journey turned out to be smooth, without encountering an NPC, Wen Xia led the girl around, and almost bumped into someone at a corner.

The flashlight flickered, and the little girl behind thought she had encountered an NPC, so she gave a short scream and was about to run away. Fortunately, she was stuck under the alarm line, and the decibel meter did not call out.Wen Xia hurriedly grabbed her, said "shh", and pressed her palm down to calm her down.

The little girl nodded with lingering fear, and subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes to look at the person who frightened her.

The person they almost ran into was Lin Fengqi.

Lin Fengqi didn't have a flashlight either, so he came over like a blind man, his eyes were squinted by the light of the flashlight, and then he saw clearly that it was Wen Xiahe... His eyes fell on the girl's hand holding Wen Xia's clothes.

He quickly came to his senses and observed the girl's reaction. Is that what fear is all about?

"Where did you come from?" After comforting the little girl, Wen Xia asked Lin Fengqi in a low voice, "I just asked you to announce your location, why didn't you say anything?"

Lin Fengqi pointed to the direction he came from: "My place is a semi-open place."

The place where Lin Fengqi was taken was the men's room, where he first met the ghost played by the NPC. During the chase, Wen Xia yelled the alarm and attracted the NPC who was chasing him.

So when the NPC left, he also followed the direction to find it.He didn't have a flashlight in his hand, and it took a lot of time to fumble around.

After rendezvous with Lin Fengqi, the voice of the field controller sounded in the earphones of the three of them at the same time: "Please gather in the dressing room within 10 minutes."

"Where is the dressing room?" Wen Xia asked Lin Fengqi, "Did you see it when you came here?"

Lin Fengqi shook his head, and moved closer to him while shaking his head.

"Then we can only...separate our outfits." Wen Xia glanced at another fork in the road opposite to Lin Feng's, and then looked back at the road where he and the little girl came. There was still a fork in the road that he didn't visit. Pass.

But among the three of them, one of them is destined to be alone.

How to divide this?

Of course, it is impossible to throw the little girl out alone. Wen Xia thought that she had to pretend to be afraid. Although she really wanted to go on the same road with Lin Fengqi, but now Lin Fengqi is the only one who is brave enough to separate for a while. .Anyway, we can meet up soon after we find the dressing room.

So Wen Xia said: "I'm with this classmate, so you...be alone first."

However, Lin Fengqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer and said, "No."

Wen Xia: "?"

"I..." The man pursed his lips, his voice was very low, "I only have one flashlight." The word "fear" was still too embarrassing to say.

"..." This is true.

The little girl couldn't help but said: "If we don't hurry up, we feel that there is not enough time. And if there is only one flashlight, it will not be convenient for the other person to move after we are separated."

"Then there can only be three of us together," Wen Xia sighed, "We have to choose a path and clear the mines as quickly as possible."

At this moment, Xiao Ma's voice sounded high and loud not far away: "Come and gather at my place, I'm in the dressing room—"

As soon as the voice fell, the alarm sounded.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching from another direction, the three of them looked at each other and hurried to run.There were no rooms or cabinets to hide in, so they could only run in the direction of the pony's voice while escaping from the approaching NPC behind them.If he dared to speak loudly, it meant that the dressing room must be safe.

The sound of footsteps was chaotic for a while.

After finally running around a corner, a beam of flashlight shot out from the crack of the door in front of him, shaking up and down, and then the pony's surprised voice: "Here we come, brother Wen, hurry up!"

The three of them rushed in, and Xiao Ma closed the door with a "bang". Before he could lock it, the door began to be pushed and smashed outside. Accompanied by the sharp laughter from the NPC, people were trembling all over.

There are two NPCs, and they are very strong. Only six of them could block the door together.The moment the door closed, the pony quickly locked it.Now, no matter how hard the door was pushed and smashed, people outside could not come in, and there was no window in the dressing room, and the movement outside stopped after about ten seconds.

The big job took a long breath, and the personnel finally arrived.

In addition to Wen Xia's flashlight, the three of Xiao Ma found two, a total of three flashlights, the light is not strong, and a small one.

At this time, 10 minutes have not yet arrived. Xiao Ma said based on his high-level playing experience that the field control asked them to gather in the dressing room, and it is likely that the mission will start in 10 minutes.If they don't gather in the dressing room at the specified time, players who may have made a big noise before but escaped by chance will be directly caught and locked in the cage.

Just guessing.Fortunately, the three of Xiao Ma found the dressing room first.

In the remaining few minutes, they exchanged information with each other, mainly for the map. There was paper and pens in the dressing room, and Wen Xia roughly drew a map based on the information from both parties.Then it turns out that none of them have been to the middle of the road yet.

"The middle may be the place where the circus performs." Wen Xia glanced across the marked room, and tapped the pen tip on the only vacant center. "This may be an important place for the final customs clearance."

As Xiao Ma said, after the 10-minute time limit, the field control began to dispatch tasks.

"Now, Charles and John, please go to the circus owner's office, check the notes he left behind, and destroy the notes."

Wen Xia and Lin Fengqi looked at each other.

Wen Xia remembered that the character she got was called Char, John... If I remember correctly, it was Lin Fengqi.

"Wow, it's okay, it's a solo mission if you don't come up," Xiao Ma sighed, "If you have two people, you can still have a companion."

The two left the dressing room with a flashlight and headed to the circus owner's office.

The corridor was silent, and there was no sound of NPCs walking around for the time being. Lin Fengqi held the flashlight, and there was no third person this time.

But this journey was so smooth that he had no room for development at all, and the two soon came to the office.The office door was ajar and unlocked, and opened with a light push.

However, at the moment the door opened, a dummy corpse suddenly hung from above, and that bloody face almost gave Wen Xia a passionate meeting kiss.

Wen Xia calmly took two steps back to avoid it, and then realized that this seemed like an opportunity.

He controlled the volume and let out a small exclamation, expressing that he was frightened, and then wanted to take the opportunity to hide behind Lin Feng, preferably with a hug around his waist or something.However, before he could make a second move, the people around him also let out a shallow gasp, and then grabbed his... cuffs.

Wen Xia: "?"

Lin Fengqi: "...?"

The two looked at each other, their expressions blank for a moment.

At this moment, the strange corpse that was hanging upside down and still shaking suddenly let out a sharp and piercing laughter. The extremely penetrating laughter matched the clown's smiling face painted with blood plasma on the corpse's face, which was magical and weird. .Both of them were taken aback by the volume. The laughter grew louder and louder, making people's brains buzz and at the same time alarming the decibel meters on their bodies.

The laughter didn't last long, and soon fell silent like a balloon, but the sound of the siren followed closely behind.

The footsteps of NPCs came from not far away.

Wen Xia and Lin Feng reacted fairly quickly. At this time, they didn't bother with acting anymore, and quickly pushed the fake corpse away and entered the room.However, the door lock of the office is broken and can only be closed, but cannot be blocked.

Within a few seconds, the sound of footsteps had reached the corridor, and the weird laughter of the NPC was very similar to that of a fake corpse.

With the flashlight in Lin Fengqi's hand, he quickly swept across the room with the light, and pulled Wen Xia over: "This way, the cabinet."

Before Wen Xia could see clearly, Lin Fengqi dragged her into a wardrobe.

Almost at the same moment, the door of the office was slammed open with a "bang".

The NPC stopped running, the sound of footsteps lingered at the door of the office, and then walked in step by step.Like a police officer apprehending a suspect, he paced the office slowly, looking for their hiding places.He seemed to have a knife in his hand. The blade hung on the wall and made a rattling sound, gradually approaching the wardrobe.

Even though we know that the closet will not open the blind spot for NPC setting, such movement can still bring a certain sense of oppression psychologically.

The closet was actually not that spacious, and it was somewhat crowded for two adult men with a height of 1.8 meters.

Wen Xia and Lin Fengqi were close to each other, so close that they could hear each other's breathing—and heartbeat.It seemed as if they would kiss each other with just one quirk of their cheeks.

What's more embarrassing... His thigh seems to have touched a delicate part.

Wen Xia was obviously not afraid, but for some reason, while listening to Lin Fengqi's slightly heavy breathing and the sound of an NPC approaching outside, he felt nervous for no reason.

It's a little hot, I don't know if it's the speed of life and death just now, or something else.He actually felt his back start to sweat.He wanted to move his legs, to move away from the embarrassment, but as soon as he moved, he heard Lin Fengqi's breathing disordered.

He didn't dare to move any more.

Finally, the NPC's knife touched the wardrobe.

The sound of the tip of the knife hitting the wooden furniture was hoarse and dull. Suddenly, he retracted the knife and slapped his hands on the cabinet door, making a loud noise. Wen Xia vaguely saw the knocked down from the light of Lin Fengqi's raised flashlight. fine sawdust.Then, with a soft "squeak—" sound, the wardrobe door was opened a crack. The NPC's face with exaggerated clown makeup was just stuck to the seam, it seemed to be smiling, but its eyes were tearing apart.

He smiled strangely, and his tone was extremely strange: "I found, found, you, you..."

Those who are generally timid may cry in fright here.

But two seconds later, Lin Fengqi did something.He turned off the light.The light went out suddenly, Wen Xia's eyes went dark, and he couldn't see his fingers.

As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind.

Immediately, Wen Xia felt her cuffs being grabbed again.

The heat source exuding the fragrance of mint leaned closer almost imperceptibly.

For a moment, my heart beat like thunder.

"...Scared." In the darkness, Lin Fengqi whispered.

"..."

The NPC probably didn't expect to eat a mouthful of dog food. After a few seconds of silence, there was another "squeak—" and the closet door closed.

The footsteps went away, and the office that had just experienced a thrilling moment fell into silence again.

But Lin Fengqi did not turn on the flashlight for a long time.

He was still clutching Wen Xia's cuff, and the sound of breathing was close at hand. For several moments, Wen Xia felt the hot air spraying on his earlobe.

Wen Xia finally couldn't help but say: "The ghost has already left."

Lin Fengqi: "Yes."

The voice was deep and deep, as if grinding the ears, Wen Xia suddenly felt a little dry: "We can go out now."

"Wait a little longer." Lin Fengqi said.

"...Wait for what?"

In a cramped closed space, the air is limited.

There was a hint of hoarseness in the man's voice: "Wait... I'm not afraid anymore, go out again."

"..."

too close.

Wen Xia turned her head in the dark silently, looking in Lin Fengqi's direction.

The grip on the cuff suddenly tightened a little.

Wen Xia couldn't help but licked his dry lower lip, and asked him: "Then... how long will it be before you're not afraid?"

Lin Fengqi didn't speak, obviously he didn't know.

As a man, Wen Xia could somewhat understand this feeling.

He turned his head away again, inhaled and exhaled, at least to calm himself down, don't let Lin Fengqi "not be afraid" at that time, instead he would start to be "afraid".

Not long after, as if a century had passed, Lin Fengqi turned on the flashlight, and the sudden light filled the small wardrobe again.

Wen Xia squinted her eyes and went to see Lin Fengqi.

The man looked as usual, except that there was still a gloomy desire in those eyes, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Go out." Catching Wen Xia's gaze, Lin Fengqi looked away in a bit of embarrassment.

In this way, he could clearly see his red ears.

The man never seemed to know how well his ears could tell.

But why wasn't he like this before?

While thinking about it, Wen Xia carefully removed her legs, and the two finally broke free from this strange prison of the wardrobe.

After the NPC visited, the task was delayed for some time, they calmed down and began to concentrate on the task.

The circus owner's notes were not so easy to find. At first they thought they were on the desk, but they couldn't find any paper documents on the desk, so the two divided the work, one was looking for the bookcase, and the other was looking through the drawers of the desk.

Wen Xia soon discovered that one of the drawers was locked, and thought that this was it: "Find where the key is."

Lin Fengqi finally found the key in the mezzanine of a certain book. At this moment, the field controller said to the two of them: "Your time is running out, please complete the task as soon as possible."

The field control didn't say how much time was left, and even if they did, they couldn't time it, and the phone was handed in for safekeeping long before they came in.

Open the drawer with a key, and there is a notebook lying inside.

Wen Xia glanced at the ten lines, flipped through the notes quickly, and found a note sandwiched near the end of the page, which seemed to be a clue to a certain puzzle.This should be the message that the entire notebook wants to tell them.

At the same time, some plots can be sorted out from the notes, which are about the circus. It roughly records how the circus went from prosperity to decline, and what kind of terrible events happened, which led to the start of haunting.After reading it, the two destroyed the notes according to the task - the simplest and rude way, directly shredded.

"Now the countdown to the last half minute begins," the field controller said coldly, "30, 29, 28——"

The two returned to the dressing room with a final "1".

Xiao Ma breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death, I thought you two would never come back once you left. How about it, did you get anything?"

Wen Xia handed over the note that seemed to be a clue to solve the puzzle.

The field controller then said: "Charle, who got the note, noticed the secret behind the circus, and he decided to keep this note for emergencies."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, no matter how they thought about it, this note smelled like death flag.

But Char and Wen Xia who were named had no choice but to accept their fate and keep it.

"By the way, why have you been here for so long?" Xiao Ma didn't know that he had grasped a certain point, "Is this task difficult? I heard a lot of laughter from the office, is your siren It still rang, did the ghost stay there for a long time?"

I stayed... not for a long time.

Wen Xia glanced at Lin Fengqi, and lied casually: "Yeah, you should be more careful when doing the missions later, the ghost will probably kill the carbine, and we almost fell for it."

Several people nodded in surprise.

Next was a solo task, and the one assigned was one of the two high school girls, the little girl who was with Wen Xia before.

Unfortunately, she was caught by an NPC and put into a taming cage.

Field control: "Now you have 15 minutes to find the key to the taming cage and rescue your companions."

Pony scratches his hair: "Help, how do we know how long 15 minutes is—"

Wen Xia: "It's always right to act quickly."

The danger of saving people is very high, because according to the setting, the NPC at this time is in a state of rage, and there are more than one NPC. To complete your own solo missions.

The lively music of the circus sounded very appropriately in the venue, and the red and blue interlaced lights flickered for a while, and the sirens on everyone began to ring endlessly. The scene can be said to be thrilling and chaotic.

Time was running out, and several people quickly divided their jobs, and each went to an area to find clues.Wen Xia had just two steps out of the dressing room when she felt her sleeves being pulled again.

He was forced to stop, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Fengqi brushed the hair on top of his head with his hand, and said, "Sawdust."

The clown NPC in the office just slapped him on the closet door and fell down.

The memory in the closet that was finally left behind for a while suddenly flooded up, and Wen Xia glanced down subconsciously.

Sensing his gaze, Lin Fengqi paused, and said in a low voice, "...don't be afraid now."

The author has something to say:

Coming Out (Physical)
