Chapter 10



"What if a real ghost sneaked into our midst while we were in such a mess and stamped us without us noticing it at all..." The game host rubbed his arms and said, "It's really scary to think about it!"

"When I was doing ghost hunting live broadcasts, I went to collect materials and heard a supernatural story," Brother Hu's teeth began to tremble: "A tourist died of a sudden heart attack in a haunted house, and then his soul wandered around in the haunted house, looking for a substitute..."

The singer panicked: "If it was a real ghost, I wouldn't be dragged by it to be its substitute!"

Lu Lanlan said stubbornly, "Don't be so distracted. There are no ghosts in this world. I think there must be a mechanism on the wall. The NPC hid in the dark and quietly stamped it!"

"Shh!" Tang Niannian motioned for them to be quiet: "Did you hear any noise?"

Everyone fell silent, and a muffled scream was heard.

Jiaming: "Someone is screaming, and there is more than one person, and the source of the sound seems to be the corridor we passed through."

At the same time, the live broadcast room cut the camera to Orthopedic Clinic No. 3.

A doctor NPC wearing a white coat and holding a bone saw rushed out of the dark room, scaring the guests so much that they ran away in all directions.

The doctor dragged the bone saw, making a harsh sound on the ground. Half of his face was covered in blood. His cold gray pupils looked around the consulting room and finally locked onto the movie blogger who was hiding under the table, holding a stethoscope as a weapon.

The doctor NPC squatted down, and the movie blogger closed his eyes tightly.

The doctor smeared the blood plasma on the movie blogger's face and said in a cold and hoarse voice: "Brother, open your eyes and look at me."

"I'm not scary at all. The people who came before me weren't afraid of me at all." The doctor NPC complained more and more, poking the movie blogger's knee with a prop bone saw: "Threate me, intimidate me, make me hand over the password."

The movie blogger couldn't stand it any longer: "Don't you know whether you are scary or not? I was shaking with fear, didn't you see? Just give me your stamp, please don't humiliate me!"

The doctor NPC stamped the death mark on him with satisfaction, then dragged the bone saw to chase the other guests.

The movie blogger leaned back in his chair, exhausted: "I...finally...got...off...work..."

[Hei Zai's previous prediction was completely correct. After being humiliated by the big evil player, the doctor NPC began to humiliate the chicken player. ]

[It's so funny. This guy said he wanted to be the first, but he was humiliated by the NPC and lost his desire to win.]

[So the screams heard from Xiaoshi came from here. The truth is heartbreaking. I wonder if Xiaoshi and the others have discovered it.]

The director was very knowledgeable and cut the camera back to Shi Xi, just in time to capture Shi Xi and Jia Ming walking back, probably wanting to find the source of the sound.

At the corner, the nurse NPC and the patient NPC were standing in the corridor chatting.

"I envy the NPCs who can scare people. It's such a sense of accomplishment to hear the screams of these players."

"If every player is like the guy with the shovel, we should change our profession as soon as possible."

At this moment, two NPCs discovered Shi Xi and immediately became as quiet as a chicken, lying back down as quickly as possible.

Shi Xi: “…”

The live broadcast room changed to a dual perspective. On one side, the guests were chased around by the doctor NPC, screaming and crying. On the other side, there was an NPC lying on the bed pretending to be dead and Shi Xi covering the NPC with a blanket with an innocent look on his face.

[The director definitely did it on purpose! He switched the perspective completely according to Hei Zai's prediction. It's so wicked. I love watching it.]

[These two NPCs pretending to be dead are just like me when I was caught by my boss at work. I continued to work on the surface, but I was panicking inside.]

[She also covered him with a blanket, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting.]

After confirming that the scream came from the clinic and there were no other abnormalities, Shi Xi and Jia Ming went back.

This little episode eased the guests' tense emotions. They temporarily put aside the mystery of the seal and continued to head to the operating room.

As I was walking, the hospital radio suddenly made a shrill noise. After the noise disappeared, a strange music box music began to play again.

A sweet female voice mingled with the music, with a strange smile: "You are so slow~ Come to the operating room to find me~"

The singer asked in alarm, "Did you hear that female voice? Is this broadcast meant for us?"

The game anchor analyzed: "It may be the voice of the NPC in the operating room, trying to break our psychological defenses in advance."

Singer: "To be honest, I wasn't very interested in this live variety show at first. I thought it would not be very well done with such a tight budget. But now I have completely changed my mind. The details are so well done. My scalp tingles when I hear this."

The actor agreed: "When this sound came out, I felt that the operating room was very dangerous."

Shi Xi frowned. After inheriting the talent for magic, her intuition became sharper. She felt that the voice was too weird and uncomfortable to listen to. It didn't seem like the work of the program crew.

Shi Xi asked the system in his heart: "You suddenly assigned me this task, is it because there is really a ghost here?"

[Host, the task of recording a variety show rewards acting talent, and has no connection with supernatural events for the time being. I cannot answer your question.]

Soon, they found operating room No. 1.

The door of the operating room was closed. There were several long bloody scratches on the cold white door panel. The window was shining with a faint green light, which made people stay away from it.

Brother Hu swallowed his saliva and said, "If everyone is afraid, why not prepare yourself mentally first..."

Shi Xi pushed the door open and walked in carelessly.

Tang Niannian and Jiaming followed closely behind.

Brother Hu pointed at them and asked the game anchor: "Why are they all like they're strolling in a park? Didn't that weird female voice just now make them feel a little scared?"

The game host pursed his lips and said, "Brother Hu, do you remember the harsh words we said at the beginning of the game? You said that ghosts would have to avoid Brother Hu, and I said I could carry the whole game."

Brother Hu touched his face and said, "Didn't I slap you in the face before? Why are you bringing this up again?"

"I mean, these two sentences together are about time," the game anchor smiled, "For the big devil players, playing escape room is like going to the park."

Brother Tiger: “You are right.”

Compared with the previous scene, the layout of this operating room was a bit sloppy. In the middle was an operating table covered with a white cloth, and it was equipped with several medical instruments, which were dirty and torn. No one knew where they came from.

In addition to this, there are various garbage bins, medical carts, cabinets, various discarded quilts and clothes piled together, and the air smells like disinfectant.

Brother Hu was much more relaxed when he saw this environment: "Did the production team run out of time when they arranged this place? It was a bit perfunctory, there wasn't even a trace of blood."

"But it's easy to hide people here, there must be a lot of NPCs," the game anchor looked around and said to Shi Xi excitedly: "Xiao Shi, start your performance!"

Shi Xi: "If I get the card, it's mine. Are you sure you want me to do it?"

The game host received glares from other guests and immediately changed his tone: "Please don't do it."

Lu Lanlan looked at Shi Xi worriedly: "You can't threaten the NPCs again this time! No violence!"

After saying that, she immediately went to look for clues.

Others also quickly began to search.

Lu Lanlan soon discovered: "The cart is locked and needs a key."

Singer: "The cabinet can't be opened. The medicine box above needs a password."

The game anchor walked to the front of the table, picked up a stack of white paper, flipped through it and exclaimed: "Oh my God, come and look, these are our death certificates!"

After the others gathered, the game host distributed the notice to them.

Shi Xi walked over slowly and took her own "death certificate", on which was pasted her ID photo and a light red mark.

She quickly glanced through the text and soon noticed the handwritten time of death below. There was no year, month, or day, only a hasty "22:30". This time did not match the real time, as it was not yet eight o'clock.

Shi Xi asked for Jiaming and Tang Niannian's "death certificates" and found that they also died at the same time, and there were also two light red marks on the paper.

She rubbed "22:30" with her fingertips, but the ink was not completely dry and blurred. How did these red marks come from, and what does time have to do with it...

Shi Xi raised his head and looked around, and found a wall clock that was still running. The time was approximately 22:20.

[What does this time mean? It's still a long way from eleven o'clock.]

[The ink hasn’t dried yet, it was written not long ago! Did she discover it by chance or because she is very perceptive? If the director hadn’t given a close-up, I wouldn’t have noticed it. ]

[Can she really pass the level without violence? ]

[Lan Lan asked her not to use violence, and she even gave up the search. I think she only knows how to use violence. She even admitted before that she was an intelligent player.]

"Wait, there seems to be something here." The game host opened the drawer and found a new stack of papers. He said in surprise, "It's still a death certificate! But it's not ours."

Lu Lanlan said: "These ID photos show people wearing professional attire. They may be the medical staff who were once in charge of this operating room. I am sure that they are now hiding in various places as ghosts."

Da Hu: "Their expressions are scary."

时晞扫了一眼,这些npc的死亡证明全是打印体,死亡日期和之前那个陈明医生一样,具体到年月日。

她挑了挑眉,慢慢悠悠地走开了。

“这些死亡证明只是用来吓我们的吗,还是在提示什么?”陆兰兰拉了拉游戏主播的衣角,睁着大眼睛看他,柔声问:“哥哥,你看出什么了吗?”

游戏主播被这种眼神看得春心**漾了下,清了清嗓子:“我是个职业游戏主播,熟知八百种游戏套路,这一点点小把戏当然难不倒我了,听我来跟你们分析分析。”

“嗯嗯。”陆兰兰用期待的眼神看着他。

游戏主播分析得头头是道:“你看啊,这份玩家通知单里刚好是我们,节目组肯定是在我们兵分两路之后才放进来的,肯定没时间准备什么有用的信息,可以认为是单纯吓人的、干扰我们的东西,都是些废纸,作用和刚才那个声音一样。”

陆兰兰夸赞道:“你好聪明啊。”

旁听的男演员也说:“主播,你分析得很有道理啊,还有其他想法吗?”

“我觉得重点在这些npc的死亡证明上。”

【兰兰老婆好积极参与解密啊,太可爱了!】

【哼哼,不用暴力的话我们兰兰稳赢。】

【那个小时完全没动静了,果然是个没脑子的暴力狂。】

【笑死,大家都认为这份死亡证明是干扰道具,结果就干扰了她一个人,我看她等会儿肯定反悔,又去暴力抢卡。】

【都没观众维护她了,好可怜啊哈哈哈】

【知道为啥吗,因为我们在等打脸啊。】

【没有小时的镜头我都懒得发弹幕,有那么难理解吗?】

“啪嗒。”一声清脆的开锁声引起了所有人的注意。

以游戏主播和陆兰兰为主的讨论戛然而止,他们不约而同地去搜索这个声音。

然后看到了懒洋洋地站在柜子前面,随手拨开医药箱盖子的时晞,以及站在她身边一脸淡定的两个小伙伴。

其他嘉宾见开箱的是时晞,一点也不意外。

只有陆兰兰把眼睛瞪得滚圆:“你打开了医药箱?你怎么打开的?”

时晞拿出两张旅行卡,又随手盖上了:“用密码。”

陆兰兰语气有点冲:“我当然知道,问题是你怎么知道密码?”

时晞:“刚才听到有人说医药箱需要密码,我就拿死亡证明上的时间试了一下。”

歌手举手:“是我发现医药箱的,但是我没联系起来,光顾着听他们分析了。”

陆兰兰气得吐血,幽怨地看了游戏主播一眼:“你不是说那些是干扰道具,是废纸吗?”

虎哥:“感情你一顿分析猛如虎,一看战绩0比5,把我们带沟里了。”

游戏主播用手背蹭了蹭鼻子,尬笑一声:“分析错误也是常有的事嘛,而且那些死亡证明还是我找到的,她能开锁也有我一份功劳。”

时晞看到他的指腹上有红色痕迹,缓慢地眨了眨眼睛。

原来纸张上的红色印记是这样来的,她好像发现了不得了的事情。

时晞看着游戏主播,伸手递出一张旅行卡:“既然你也有功劳,分给你一张卡吧。”

大家羡慕地看着游戏主播。

游戏主播却摆摆手:“我都分析错了,哪有脸拿啊。”

“那算了。”时晞收回卡片。

【你永远猜不透小时。】

【之前说小时肯定不行的陆兰兰粉丝呢?看你们被打脸已经成了看这个综艺的乐趣之一。】

【知道什么叫胆大心细吗?】

【这个密码不难发现,但是其他人都被误导了,游戏主播和陆兰兰负主要责任,玩游戏就怕又菜又爱秀的,把所有人都带歪了。】

【你确实没脸拿,这锅你要背。】

男演员算了一下:“玩到现在我们一张卡也没有,他们已经找到六张卡了。”

虎哥嘿嘿一笑:“但是我们应该蹭了不少镜头。”

时晞看了一眼挂钟,马上就到30分了。她走到手术台旁边,蹲了下去。

虎哥喊了一声:“小时,你在干嘛?”

时晞:“我等人。”

陆兰兰警铃大作,提高声音喊话:“手术台下是不是有npc,你听着,有一个可怕的玩家对你意图不轨!”

其他嘉宾听到这番喊话,差点笑到头掉。

虎哥:“你认真的吗兰妹子?”

游戏主播:“玩家提醒npc小心别的玩家,我第一次遇见。”

这时,挂钟指向22:30,发出一种刺耳的钟声。

手术台古怪地震动起来,一只插着刀的手拨开盖布,接着,一个披着长发的医生npc从里面爬了出来。

医生npc抬起死白的脸,看到时晞亲切的笑脸。

时晞温声说:“你来啦?”

医生npc:“……”

时晞打量了一会儿,指了指她脖子上晃动的钥匙:“我想要它,谢谢。”

医生npc爽快地摘下钥匙给她:“你赢了。”

显然,这是一根能拿到旅行卡的钥匙。

玩到现在一张卡都没拿到,陆兰兰有点着急了:“时晞!你居然又威胁npc,你没有信用!”

陆兰兰甚至还克服了恐惧,恨铁不成钢地骂医生npc:“都跟你说了有人在蹲你,你怎么还出来?”

医生npc将头发拨到耳朵后面,一本正经地说:“首先,这位玩家没有威胁我,我交出钥匙是因为我判断她有资格拿,其次,我听到了你的提醒,但是按规定我必须在这个时间出现,至于原因,你们自己破解吧。”

医生npc钻出来,潇洒地离开手术室:“我下线了,拜拜。”

嘉宾们目送npc离开,一时之间心情十分复杂,而且有很多疑问。

歌手:“npc那番话是什么意思?”

游戏主播看了下四周,锁定了墙上的挂钟,开始了自己的推理:“钟响和死亡证明上的死亡时间一致,意味着npc会在22:30分出来‘杀死’我们,所以npc说她必须按时出现。如果我是游戏设计者,我会把这个重要的npc安排在最开阔最容易行动的空间——手术台下面。”

歌手悟了:“所以小时才会在那里蹲守npc。”

“你说得没错,”唐年年说:“npc觉得小时很聪明很勇敢,才给了她钥匙。”

“小时总是很随心所欲,但是她总能轻松地达成目的,因为她早就破译了线索,”游戏主播摊手:“我早说了,她是智慧型玩家。”

大虎瞪他:“那你怎么回事,现在又变厉害了,之前那通瞎分析不会是故意的吧?”

游戏主播:“当然不是,我这是事后诸葛亮。”

嘉鸣把刚拿到的旅行卡交给时晞:“两张,还有下一个地点。”

“我们只差一张卡,就不和你们争了,直接去下一站了,在这之前我送你们一个礼物。”时晞看向游戏主播,很自然地问了句:“你检查一下,自己印章还在吗?”

游戏主播本能地动了一下手,但是他很快就反应过来了,轻笑一声:“我怎么会有印章?”

时晞不慌不忙地走向他,抬起他的右手:“之前你擦鼻子的时候我就看到,你指腹上有红色痕迹,在诊疗室的时候你手上还很干净,这是在走廊偷袭玩家时不小心沾到的印泥吧?”

时晞撸起他的袖子,他手臂上也有几道红印:“果然,你之前把印章藏在袖子里了,在走廊趁乱给歌手盖章的就是你。”

游戏主播伸冤:“不是我,我也被盖了。”

“那是你为了洗脱自己的嫌疑,自己盖的,”时晞说:“你现在屈手摸向背后,肯定刚好够到印章的位置。”

歌手惊呼:“我想起来了,当时他确实站在我后面!”

大虎摩拳擦掌:“好啊,节目组居然还玩卧底这一套!根本没有真鬼,他就是那个‘鬼’!”

时晞松开游戏主播:“承认吧。”

游戏主播看了眼指腹,懊恼地说:“是我大意了,所以你之前要分我一张卡,是在试探我。这次我学到了,不过我已经被淘汰了。”

陆兰兰涨红了脸:“你真的在故意误导我们,让我们觉得线索是废纸。”

游戏主播爽快承认:“是的,节目组推算了我们抵达手术室的时间后,才填写了死亡时间、定时闹钟和设置密码,这需要时间,所以他们在走廊上设置了拦路的npc,因为小时解决得太快了,我又用‘鬼印章’帮他们争取了时间,那个突然广播的音乐就是布置好了的信号。”

“其实开局的时候我就说了,21张卡,最多8人通关,”游戏主播指着自己:“我就是无卡也能通关的第8人——前提是没被揪出来。哎呀第一次当卧底没经验,下次一定改正。”

【难怪他的能力忽高忽低,是卧底啊。而且是建立了信任后才开始动手脚,每次时机都选的很好。】

[He probably didn't notice that he would be exposed because of the ink. At the beginning, he said that 8 people would pass the level. I really thought he just made a mistake and the others definitely didn't notice it. ]

[Even if violence is prohibited, it would be enough to win by just using your brainpower for hours, but they finished the game so quickly, so won’t they be out of the spotlight like the players who were eliminated early?]

[Does the atmosphere group care about the camera? Also, Xiao Shi is awesome. ]

[Okay, she's awesome. I apologize for my earlier recklessness.]

"Well... since there is no real ghost in the corridor, then what's the matter with this seal?" The actor who asked this question had a trembling voice.

When everyone looked, they saw a red seal hanging next to him. It swayed in the air, then suddenly changed direction and stamped his face.

The three words "You're dead" were glaring and blurry, and the wet red liquid slowly flowed down.

The actor wiped his face, put it to his nose and sniffed it, his face changed drastically: "It's real blood!"

The seal fluttered in the air, and a sweet voice rang out in the operating room: "Who will be chosen next?"

The author has something to say:

This variety show is almost over. I will work hard tomorrow.
