The Passerby Only Wants a Peaceful Life

After retiring early, Luo Qing moved to an old street district full of human warmth. Every day, she'd go downstairs to Ping An Real Estate to zone out, living a simple and uneventful peaceful l...

Chapter 35 Chapter 35 The Wonderful Museum 8

The mirror blocked Ning Ruyi's way.

Or perhaps it was them in the mirror who blocked his way.

He had a blank expression on his face and tried to push the mirror away with his hand.

But...these mirrors are getting closer and closer.

They moved and approached, gradually forcing Ning Ruyi into a corner, and the space he could occupy became smaller and smaller.

And on these dense, connected, square mirrors that completely surrounded him, more and more human figures appeared, emerging one by one, as if they were about to break free and walk out directly from the mirrors!

A flashlight prop appeared in Ning Ruyi's hand.

[High-intensity flashlight]: After being turned on for three seconds, it will blind all creatures except the player. (3/3)

He pressed the switch, and instantly the shrinking space mirror was filled with strong white light.

He moved his feet, suddenly stepped on a pair of stilts, and jumped on the spot, about to jump out of the encirclement in front of him.

[Fool's Stilts]: Stand tall, see far, and one strike will knock you off (1/2)

“Snap—”

The moment Ning Ruyi jumped up, his eyes met Tu Nan's.

This player, no, should I say this weird? Or perhaps it had transformed into some unknown creature? This player was now high up in this small space. With a single hand, he directly blocked Ning Ruyi's attack.

The fool's stilt jump failed, and Ning Ruyi fell back into the "encirclement" again. What's worse is that the space that could only accommodate one person became even smaller.

The square mirror was about to block his nose and stick to his back.

The prop [high-intensity flashlight] was activated again, and Ning Ruyi silently said "trouble".

An electric saw suddenly appeared in his hand and he sawed at the surrounding mirrors.

The material of the mirror seemed to be particularly good. In three seconds, Ning Ruyi managed to saw in half a mirror.

The mirror was cut in half, and he was about to step out. At that moment, the broken mirror was like flowing water.

When you draw a knife to cut the water, the water will flow even faster. The mirror surface instantly returns to its original state and seems to be even more resilient.

Ning Ruyi narrowed his eyes, and the chainsaw in his hand disappeared instantly. The [High-Intensity Flashlight] was activated for the third time, which was also the last chance to use it.

The flashlight, which had run out of uses, disappeared from his hand. At the same time, a large cloud of smoke appeared, and the stilts under his feet were replaced by another prop.

[Teleport Skateboard Shoes]: Within the same instance, after activation, you will teleport randomly between two spaces. (1/1)

This pair of skateboard shoes is a prop he has never used before, but it can save his life at a critical moment.

Ning Ruyi finally moved out of this small space and landed in a brand new exhibition hall.

The skateboard shoes disappeared from his feet, and before he could stand firmly, he was about to fall, and a pair of eyes appeared in front of him.

A woman in a black suit walked up to him with a sign above her head that read "Keep Quiet, No Running or Jumping."

"Dear tourist, is there anything I can help you with?" The NPC's expression was very serious.

"Excuse me, I'm here on a study tour and I'm looking for a stamp. Which exhibition hall is this?"

Ning Ruyi immediately took out her stamp book from her body.

The space in this copy is limited. According to the exploration at noon, only four exhibition halls, audience restaurants and cultural and creative stores are open to players.

Ning Ruyi decided to take a gamble. Returning to the first and second exhibition halls would be bad luck, but if she was randomly teleported to several other spaces, there would be no problem at all.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be teleported to an unfamiliar exhibition hall.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the fourth exhibition hall that needs to be visited.

This is really a case of mountains and rivers being so dense that you think there is no way out, but suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers!

The NPC looked at his stamped book and smiled at Ning Ruyi: "So you're here for a study tour. We're very familiar with your company. Why didn't I explain it to you all?"

"I have something to do and need to hurry. They are still in the previous exhibition hall and are in a hurry to leave." Ning Ruyi replied.

"Does this exhibition hall also require interaction before getting a stamp?" He tried not to sound anxious.

"There is interaction, tourist. Please follow me if you need anything." The NPC spoke in a low voice.

Ning Ruyi, who had just emerged from the encirclement, was extremely anxious for the final stamp. The NPC in a black suit led him to a locked scene door.

“It’s a place where you can interact,” she said.

Ning Ruyi didn't hesitate. He directly opened the delicate door lock and went in.

The next second, the door locked and he turned his head suddenly.

wrong.

In the previous exhibition hall, Ning Ruyi had never seen any NPCs other than the tour guide and the tour assistant.

Is this woman in black suit really an NPC?

Ning Ruyi's eyes were stern. He only heard the clang of the lock and the woman's voice at the same time: "Tourists will come to interact with us in a while."

grass!

This is not an NPC, this woman is an exhibit in this exhibition hall, and this is her exhibit cabinet.

I was deceived by the clue above her head!

The prop chainsaw appeared in Ning Ruyi's hands again, and he was about to saw open the door lock in front of him.

Outside the small window, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It’s the tour guide Luo Qing.

...

"Hello everyone, come this way, our fourth exhibition hall is quite special."

“This is a purely interactive exhibition hall.”

Luo Qing greeted the only three tourists left in the group.

"What is a purely interactive exhibition hall? It means there are no exhibits, but visitors are expected to interact with the exhibits. In the first three exhibition halls, you observed the exhibits as visitors, but in this hall, we can also experience the outside world from the perspective of the exhibits."

Ning Ruyi paused his chainsaw and retracted his tool. So, he guessed wrong? That NPC in the black suit actually let him interact.

The arrangement of the fourth exhibition hall is indeed a weird copy.

"Everyone can choose a favorite spot, please prepare the exhibits, and wait for tourists to come and interact." Luo Qing said.

Liu Yanran watched as the only three remaining female players each entered a locked area, either a scene with a door, a direct cage, or a transparent cabinet surrounded by a circle.

The setting of this exhibition hall inexplicably gave her a creepy feeling.

You stand in front of the glass and look at the exhibits, and the exhibits are also looking at you.

It seems to be saying that there is no difference between tourists and exhibits themselves, and anyone can become an exhibit locked in a cabinet.

"Um?"

"Sister, the tourist who hasn't come out yet is here."

Liu Yanran's eyes moved, and she suddenly discovered Ning Ruyi!

They had been waiting outside for a long time, but the player hadn't come out yet. Liu Yanran couldn't believe it.

After all, the three female players all said that the mirror maze was quite simple. They could either try it with their hands or try hard to look at the light and slowly walk out.

When did he appear here?

This player is not that easy to die!

Liu Yanran narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be that he used some props to hide from the sight of several people?

Luo Qing looked over at this moment, with just the right amount of surprise on her face, and immediately asked Ning Ruyi: "Mr. Ning, when did you come? We waited outside for a long time but didn't see you."

Ning Ruyi had a bewildered expression, as if she was innocent.

"I didn't see you when I left. I don't know if I was too fast or too slow. I didn't see anyone and thought you were gone, so I quickly came to the fourth exhibition hall."

"A staff member said we could interact here, so he brought me here."

Liu Yanran pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. This player, although he looked decent, actually had very few accurate words in his mouth.

They waited outside for a really long time!

Luo Qing's expression didn't change at all. He just responded and then said, "It's good that we've reunited. We might have missed each other."

As we were talking, a visitor arrived at the fourth exhibition hall.

Liu Yanran stretched her hands and quietly retreated to Luo Qing's side.

The visitors who came to the fourth exhibition hall were obviously weird. In fact, Liu Yanran now had a vague idea of ​​the distinction between the indigenous people and the weird.

From Luo Qing's perspective, they all seemed the same.

No matter if they have tentacles, heads hanging in the air, or are bleeding but not dead... in her eyes they all seem to be residents of this haunted city.

Because the "exhibits" in the fourth exhibition hall are very limited, visitors who come in quickly arrive here.

"A new exhibit."

"Yes, yes, that's a bit too few. Why are there only four?"

"There's not even an introduction display board. Could it be some cheap fake stuff?"

The tourists were whispering, and Liu Yanran listened. The situation was a little different from what she had imagined.

She thought that this part, with the strange tourists coming to visit the players, shouldn't be the most dangerous part? But these strange tourists seemed a little disappointed.

"Cough——" After a heavy cough, Liu Yanran saw a female NPC in a black suit with a silent warning sign on her head walking towards her.

The tourists who were whispering just now suddenly fell silent, and the order in the exhibition hall became quiet and peaceful again.

Liu Yanran:.

The quality is quite high, even if it is said to be silent, it is silent.

But how can players get the last chapter?

Soon, she knew the answer.

A strange tourist stretched out his tentacles, and the brave Zhao Jiayi also stretched out her hand, completing a "handshake" interaction in the exposed small window.

Her stamp book was successfully stamped with a stamp from the tentacle.

But the scene in front of her made Liu Yanran very uncomfortable. Although the weird tourists stopped talking, the players were in a closed place for people to visit. The scene was like another kind of people visiting a zoo.

The player becomes the object of observation and gaze of the other party, like a pet locked in a cage!

Tease the pet, shake hands successfully, and it will be obedient, and you will be rewarded with a stamp.

This time, as long as you're brave enough to interact, you'll get a stamp. If nothing else, these strange visitors at least seem more normal to the players than the previous exhibits.

Even the human head vase can be interacted with, so there is nothing wrong with interacting with these humanoid creatures.

There is no doubt that all the remaining four tourists got stamps.

When Liu Yanran followed Luo Qing and led the players out of the exhibition hall and announced that today's museum tour was over, several players showed relaxed and liberated smiles on their faces.

Four out of eight people survived, and the survival rate of half is not low. However, it is not good enough in a copy with the special native "Luo Qing".

Liu Yanran sighed in her heart.

The biggest danger of this copy is actually "not getting a stamp". Without a stamp, you cannot leave the exhibition hall.

For many players, just facing the weird exhibits is stressful enough.

On the surface, these eerie exhibits are the scariest of all.

In fact, as long as you follow the process honestly, you can survive.

The solution to this dungeon, [Wonderful Museum], is similar to that of Yinhuai Village. If you're deceived by the superficial horror, you're truly headed for death.

Liu Yanran watched the four players walk towards the museum's gate. When they came out of the third exhibition hall, Luo Qing gave the three female players Ping An Real Estate business cards.

"Sister, I didn't give that man a business card. Do you want me to give it to him?" She suddenly remembered.

"Forget it if I didn't send it. I don't need it. One more or one less doesn't make any difference." Luo Qing waved his hand and was taking off his yellow vest at this moment.

"Come on, we're both off work. You've been with me all day, so I'll treat you to hot pot tonight."

Luo Qing seemed to have finished reporting and explaining on the phone, and the two of them were walking out at this moment, just five or six meters away from the players.

"Xiao Liu, what ingredients do you like for hot pot? Do you like tripe and pig throat? What about beef or mutton? What are your favorite vegetarian dishes?"

"I'm not picky about food, anything is fine with me." Liu Yanran replied.

"By the way, sister, you haven't told me yet, if that stamp is not recognition, then what is it?" Liu Yanran suddenly thought of this question.

She was a little curious, would the players' stamp books become some kind of props for them?

"Do you know the pork seal? What is its function?" Luo Qing suddenly asked.

Liu Yanran was stunned by this question. Of course she knew.

"Um, is it the red stamp or the blue stamp that says quarantine passed?"

"The purpose of the stamp is to mark out qualified pigs and provide identification."

She was already tense the moment she spoke. Pork, in Weird Eyes, the player also had the pork mark?!

"That's right, just mark it." Luo Qing said.

At the same time, Liu Yanran's eyes widened as she watched three female players, Tian Fang, Zhao Jiayi and Cai Xia, walk out of the museum gate and then disappear from the dungeon.

Fortunately, the male player was stopped inside the door.

The automatic door cannot be opened.

Luo Qing led her past Ning Ruyi nonchalantly, "If you pass, there's a pass stamp, and if you fail, there's naturally a destruction stamp."

Ning Ruyi turned around when he heard this, his eyes were bloodshot and he was about to rush towards Luo Qing.

So that’s it. So that’s it.

Such important information was never mentioned in this damn explanation!

But how had he provoked this NPC? No, no, which exhibit in those exhibition halls had the unqualified seal for interaction?

Even those three players were able to get qualified badges, so why did he fail?

"Let me out, let me out—"

Luo Qing walked to the door, the automatic door opened, and Liu Yanran followed her out.

Ning Ruyi wanted to follow closely, but the automatic door that was clearly open seemed to have a silent barrier.

He was firmly trapped by this invisible barrier and could not move.

Liu Yanran:!!!

She looked back at Ning Ruyi who was locked inside the museum.

He was knocking on the door constantly and even took out props to saw the door, but the museum door just wouldn't open.

Liu Yanran watched helplessly as the security guards at the museum's security checkpoint confiscated Ning Ruyi's prop weapons and dragged him away.

Liu Yanran said nothing, but her whole body shuddered.

Wrong, wrong, her previous judgment was totally wrong!

Stamp, stamp, the real hidden killer move of this copy is the "stamp"!

When the players successfully completed the four chapters and were secretly rejoicing that they had finally passed the dungeon, the real truth was revealed!

Judging from the players' expressions, she suspected they themselves had no idea that stamping actually made a difference, and simply assumed they had completed the dungeon requirements by getting the stamp.

The intention of this copy is so sinister!

Lifting people high up and then dropping them down, making them think they can survive, only to be pushed straight to death.

It's too cruel to destroy hope just when you see it. This copy is really too cruel.

No, wait, Luo Qing knew it, but she never reminded me.

She knew this, but she never said it.

She did it on purpose!

Liu Yanran shuddered all over, put her hands in her pockets, and didn't dare to speak. The two of them were sitting on the subway escalator going down. She stood at the back on purpose and heard Luo Qing say something without any context.

"People who tell lies are really annoying."

Liu Yanran shrank back. Could it be that she was “pointing” at herself?

"Xiao Liu, do you think we should have old tofu or frozen tofu for the hot pot tonight? Do you think one of the three of them can come to me to rent a house?" Luo Qing suddenly turned around.

Liu Yanran: Huh? Why did you suddenly change the subject again?
