Noon Circus 1
A few people saw that the big box for shadow play was placed in the middle of the changing room, and a group of players were blocking it.
"Are we still going over there?" Fang Yu looked up at Yan Ke. Yan Ke also knew that the clue might not be placed in such an obvious place: "We can go to the dressing room and take a look." Fang Yu suggested.
Yan Ke felt that they seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. Did the fire have to be here?
"I think there is probably no fire now. Under the watchful eyes of the public, it would be difficult to start even a small spark," Chen Guangbai analyzed.
"Then shall we go find Li Heng and the others?" Meng Yueyue looked at Yan Ke.
Yan Ke did not answer, but left the crowded place and came to the utility room. They found that the utility room was not locked. They saw an acquaintance, Meilu, who was just the second and the eldest. She smiled and greeted them: "You are here too?"
Yan Ke said, "We will withdraw first. You guys can find it. Bye."
Meilu watched Yan Ke say something and then turned and left. She was a little stunned and asked, "They just left like that?"
"I guess it's because there are too many players here, so I guess it won't start a fire."
Melu looked at the crowded crowd and it really looked like a fire would not start.
"Brother, where are we going?" Fang Yu came forward and asked, "Go and stay."
"Are we not looking for clues anymore?"
Meng Yueyue said: "What can we find with so many people? How could the arsonist sneak under everyone's noses?"
"I don't think it was necessarily set by someone. Let's go back. If there really is a clue, we should be able to find it with so many people. If we can't find it, it means that the fire was not caused by the ignition of combustibles."
Hearing Yan Ke's words, the others looked at him.
"Look at me. I didn't say I won't look for clues. There are so many people here that even a small spark would cause smoke."
"That makes sense." Meng Yueyue nodded.
"What do you mean by reasonable? Do you have any opinion?" Fang Yu said, "I think what Big Brother said makes sense. Here, people are just standing next to each other and squeezing each other."
Chen Guangbai smiled and said, "Have you always been getting along like this before?"
"how?"
Hearing Fang Yu and Meng Yueyue's answers in unison, Yan Ke couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"It's very interesting. In this atmosphere, I almost forget that I'm in a weird game. It's very relaxing."
"I don't know about Qingsong, but look, it seems that all the guests here are players." Yan Ke and others walked out of the backstage and saw that few people continued to stay in their seats. They all stood up and left to look for clues.
"Oh, there are so many players. We only encountered them once at most when we were in the dungeon before."
Yan Ke walked back according to his memory. Along the way, he met waiters who had put down their work and were whispering to each other, as well as some performers.
From a distance, Yan Ke saw Li Heng and Gao Xu waving to everyone.
"here?"
Meng Yueyue and Fang Yu walked over and ran over: "You guys are back too?"
Gao Xu smiled bitterly: "It's impossible to get in. There are so many players inside that they can stand guard. It's impossible to squeeze in at all."
Chen Guangbai had an expected expression on his face: "We have fewer players there, but it's still crowded. Aren't there going to be performances here? I guess it will be hard for those performing to squeeze out in a while."
"With so many people, where can we find clues?" Meng Yueyue wondered.
"Because the clues are right there on the question, if you can think of it, most of the players can think of it. But with fewer people, our view here is really good, and we can see the stage clearly."
Nan Yu said casually, and glanced at Yan Ke after he finished speaking: "I know you mean there will be clues on the stage, right?"
Nan Yu shook his head: "No, I said there are many players looking for clues on the stage."
Yan Ke sat down and supported his chin with his hand: "Wait, the view here is pretty good, you can see..." As soon as he finished speaking.
They saw a strange scene. The people sitting there quickly stood up. There were at least eighty people on the stage. In the blink of an eye, those people disappeared, disappearing right under their watch.
Fang Yu trembled and said, "Oh my god, he disappeared?"
Yan Ke asked Nan Yu: "You just mentioned the stage, did you discover something?"
Nan Yu said, "It was just a coincidence. I was talking and laughing. I thought the decoration of the stage was very good and wanted to study it carefully."
"Brother Nanyu, you are sitting so far away studying the stage, so you can only see the outline, right?"
Li Heng asked the question that everyone was wondering about.
"Who said we can't study the stage here? Look, the curtain of the stage is actually open when the show is not starting." Before Gao Xu finished speaking, he saw people raining down on the quaint stage.
There was a loud bang and the blood fell to the ground, and bright red blood spread out from the stage.
"Damn, there are actually taboos on the stage?" Fang Yu exclaimed.
Meng Yueyue closed her eyes in fear.
At this time, many players discovered clues at the stage, and soon a lot of people gathered around the stage.
Yan Ke and Nan Yu sat down at this time. When Gao Xu saw them, he also sat down: "We were so close. I wanted to go to the stage to have a look. If it weren't for Mu Ning and Nan Yu, I would have become part of the rain of heads by now."
Yan Ke picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. It was a refreshing mung bean paste. She thought it was good, so she handed it to Nanyu. Nanyu took it and ate it directly. He commented: "Not bad, this can be put in the game backpack. I wonder what it will look like in the next copy."
Li Heng and Mu Ning also sat down.
Mu Ning looked at Yan Ke and asked, "Did you find something?"
"No, I just don't like to join in the fun."
Nan Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me?"
Li Heng said, "Although the mission of this copy tells us that there will be a big fire, it doesn't introduce the garden where we watch the show."
Gao Xu was a little excited: "Li Heng, did you find any clues?"
"No."
"Then you talked for so long."
Fang Yu and others also sat down.
Then Gao Xu said, "We can't just wait for the fire to start and then bury everyone with us, right?"
"No, there's still plenty of time. We've only been in this copy for less than two hours. Why are we in such a hurry?" Nan Yu took the mung bean cake that Yan Ke fed him and took a bite.
While eating, he said, "The food here is edible. We can order this, this, and this." Nanyu got the menu from somewhere.
Meng Yueyue held her forehead with her hand: "Hey, why are you guys so leisurely? Those players are all dead, should we do something?"
"Just wait. What else can we do? We're already in a theater. It would not be good to leave without hearing the play. What's more, there's no need to be anxious. It's just that group of people are too anxious. The stage is where plays are performed. So many people swarmed up there that they even stepped on and made the stage dirty." Nan Yu said.
Yan Ke called the waiter and ordered almost everything on the menu.
The waiter's eyes were narrowed into slits. After the food was ordered, Yan Ke handed the waiter a piece of gold, pure gold. This was the reward from his previous copy. He didn't dare to spend it in the real world, for fear that it was an object from the strange game world and would cause some bad changes.
It had been pushed into the corner of his game backpack, so much so that he had almost forgotten about it. He only saw it when he was using props not long ago, so he finally made good use of it.
"Okay, sir, please wait."
Yan Ke nodded.
Nan Yu counted his fingers out of boredom. After he finished counting, he counted Yan Ke's fingers out of boredom.
Chen Guangbai coughed and said, "Actually, I think this question is stupid, but I still can't figure it out. The kitchen should be surrounded by players now. Are you sure the food you ordered can be cooked?"
Fang Yu patted Chen Guangbai on the shoulder and said, "You don't understand this, right? Look at the players below. They are all gathered together at the stage to watch the fun. There must be a space in the kitchen. Isn't there a place to cook? Thank you, brother. I was hungry during the last dungeon. It's a good opportunity for me to have a bite."
Nan Yu obediently bared his teeth at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu quickly handed Nan Yu a smart watch and said, "Meal money, hehe."
"That's about right." Nan Yu put on his smartwatch, connected it to the phone Yan Ke bought for him, and took out his power bank to charge it. He said with a worried look, "We have to stay in this weird game for twelve days. The power bank and the phone don't have enough power, and we don't know if there will be any modern-day dungeons."
Yan Ke handed Nan Yu two power banks: "This hand-cranked power bank can be used at any time, but it's a bit troublesome; this solar-powered one can be charged in the sun."
"Wow, here you go, shake it for me, I'm busy."
Seeing Yan Ke and Nan Yu interacting as if no one was around, Meng Yueyue pouted: "What? My phone is out of battery too."
"Do you have a hand-cranked power bank? I'll crank it for you." Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Go, I don't need it. I don't have a hand-cranked power bank. My phone has been turned off for a long time. There is still some power left. I want to keep it for contacting my family when I go back."
Fang Yu showed his arm, with a dozen smart watches on it: "Pick one, it's not expensive. Didn't you get that weapon in the last instance? I'll trade with you."
"Fang Yu, you are really calculating." Meng Yueyue raised her hand to reveal two smart watches: "See? I have one too. Moreover, mine can be used for more than ten days after charging."
Gao Xu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Chen Guangbai, Li Heng, Mu Ning and others.
"The Battle Royale mode is indeed very exciting, but everyone has gained experience and needs to get used to it."
Li Heng looked at Gao Xu, and an idea suddenly came to him. Sure enough, he knew why Nan Yu didn't join in the fun: "Battle Royale means the mortality rate is very high. Apart from the literal meaning, there is another layer."
Mu Ning cracked some melon seeds and said, "Yes, so it's better not to join in the fun."
"You know?" Li Heng asked doubtfully.
"No, since Gao Xu and Nan Yu didn't go, why should I go? I'm not as strong as Nan Yu, and my mind is not as flexible as Gao Xu's. Why should I act on my own?" Mu Ning asked as a matter of course.
Fang Yu looked over and said, "Li Heng, what are you talking about? Your voice is too quiet."
"I didn't hear it either."
Meng Yueyue whispered.
Li Heng finally let go of his worries. Aren't there still several people who don't know what's going on? Fortunately, he is not the dumbest among them.
