Chapter 272 Mini-people
Ten minutes later, the last few people arrived. The game facility in front of them opened its doors automatically, and a childish voice came from the door, prompting people to enter.
Youxi counted them, a total of fifteen people.
They didn't know that tonight was a special event, and most of them still pretended to be ordinary tourists. There were also smart tourists who noticed something different, and their eyes kept wandering around other people, and finally saw something.
In Youxi's view, it was actually quite obvious, because apart from tourists, ordinary tourists were drawn to participate in Nightmare Park every time, and they would have expressions of uncertainty, speculation, anger and fear.
They would not be like tourists, who knew how to keep a low profile, blend in with the crowd, and be taciturn.
However, when all the participants showed a low-key and taciturn look of vigilance, the answer was obvious.
Among the fifteen people, four were from Youxi's team, nearly one-third. It was hard to say whether it was because of the arrival of Lin Wu and the other two in this area today that the special scene was triggered by the number of tourists.
But this guess also reminded the four of them again that they must not reveal their teammate's identity tonight.
It's not that they can't deal with other tourists, but when the unknown nightmare park game is going on, they need to concentrate all their attention on the game.
The game venue is completely closed. Youxi remembered that this venue also has it during the day, but there is no name of the amusement project outside, and it is always closed in the corner, so no one usually pays attention to this place.
The venue was pitch black. When the fifteen tourists walked to the end of the venue corridor one after another, a three-dimensional screen appeared in front of them, with fifteen rectangular cards floating on the screen.
"Tourists, please start drawing lots." That childish voice came from the inside of the venue in front of them.
The voice echoed inside the venue. This time the venue seemed to be particularly large, but at present, it was dark and only the outline could be vaguely seen.
The fifteen tourists looked at each other and saw that everyone was calm and not panicked. Those who had not noticed the abnormality before also understood at this moment.
Some people frowned, and some reached out to choose cards. Soon, all fifteen cards disappeared with the touch of the tourists.
"Tourists, please...ah, hehe, you should have discovered it. Tourists, please check the results of the lottery through the bracelet. Remember to keep the results of the lottery confidential!" The childish voice tried to speak in a playful and cute tone, but it made people's scalps numb.
Because everyone has experience, they know what kind of NPC is behind this cute voice.
You Xi lowered her head and clicked on her bracelet. The card she just touched was projected into her bracelet. She clicked on the card, and the card turned over, but there was nothing behind it.
Nothing?
What does this mean?
She frowned slightly, and her eyes glanced at You Zhenzhen, who was closest to her, and she seemed to frown slightly.
"Okay, here are the rules
of the game. Fun game: Attack the Golden Ball.
Rules: Something bad has happened, the princess's golden ball has disappeared again! Find the golden ball and return it to the princess within an hour to win the game!
Note: The princess will be very sad if you make three mistakes~"
Compared to the night games that Youxi had participated in before, the rules this time seemed very simple. As long as you find the golden ball and return it to the princess within 60 minutes, you will win.
But this is a special game, and the simpler the game rules, the more uncertain it makes people feel.
After the game rules were announced, the dark venue in front of them suddenly became bright.
The light changed too much, and everyone put their hands up to cover their eyes, and only moved away and looked forward after a few seconds.
This is indeed a very huge venue. The interior is still a simulation of a real forest, with trees, shrubs, wild grass and flowers, ponds, and a tall castle looming behind the trees in the distance.
The difference is that this time the forest is very, very huge. They stand in it as if they have accidentally stumbled into the land of adults.
Everyone began to speculate, is the giant forest to increase the difficulty of finding the golden ball?
Although everyone now knows that the other party is a tourist, they are still vigilant, but this game is a collective passing game after all. As long as someone finds the correct golden ball and returns it to the princess, everyone can pass.
Of course, there will definitely be differences in the rewards later, but as a game participated by all tourists, being able to successfully complete the game is already a very good result.
Because if you fail in the game, not to mention the reward, you may even lose your life here. Those
who can come to S station are all experienced tourists, and everyone knows the priorities. So, some people softened their expressions, and some took the initiative to speak up and give opinions, and the atmosphere between them eased a lot.
Youxi's phone vibrated, and she quietly checked it. It was a message from You Zhenzhen in the group.
You Zhenzhen: Then shall we pretend to cooperate?
Youxi: Don't worry, just wait and see. The NPC has not appeared yet, which is a bit abnormal.
The NPC has indeed not appeared. Youxi has participated in the night game every day for the past seven days. There will be NPCs present in every game. Most of them are tourists who are stranded at this station and cannot leave, so most of them are full of resentment and stare at the participating tourists. As long as someone violates its attack rules, it will immediately change its face and attack.
In
addition, if Xiyuan is also dragged to this game as an NPC, he has not appeared yet. I don’t know what the situation will be.
**
The tourists walked into the venue. They were surrounded by tall and dense weeds. These ordinary weeds were now more than one person tall, seriously blocking their vision. It is indeed not easy to find a golden ball in such a huge forest scene.
A more strategic traveler clapped his hands and stood on a stone more than one meter high nearby, indicating that there were only fifteen of them and the area was large. If they searched blindly and without a plan, the efficiency of repeated searches would be very low.
There was only sixty minutes, and the best way was to divide the area into sections, with each person responsible for an area. This way, everyone's search range would not overlap, and the ball could be found in the shortest time.
What the other party said made sense, and some travelers agreed, while others were impatient to listen to this and had already begun to push aside the grass to search.
Just as everyone was planning how to divide the area, almost at the same time, everyone heard a strange sound, like something hitting the ground: plop-plop-
each one was very rhythmic.
The weeds near them soon began to rustle, as if something was approaching.
Before anyone could react, a blood-red tongue suddenly shot out from mid-air. The tongue was more than half a meter wide and moved at an extremely fast speed. It landed on the passenger who was originally standing on the stone with a snap.
The passenger was stuck and instantly bounced back with the tongue.
The passenger reacted very quickly, and immediately took out his weapon and fired. The bullets shot into the tongue, bursting out thick mucus, and the passenger who counterattacked instantly screamed miserably.
"Ahhhh - it hurts -" The skin on his face, hands and feet instantly turned black, as if it had been burned. The next second, he was bounced back into a huge blood-red mouth by the tongue, and a creepy chewing sound was heard.
"It's a frog!" Someone shouted, and the tourists who had gathered nearby scattered. Some found rocks to hide, and some hid in the bushes.
Youxi also retreated quickly and hid on the side of a huge tree trunk.
In the bushes, where they were standing, a huge frog's eye appeared. The frog's head alone was as big as the front of a truck. It chewed with its big mouth, and soon stretched out its claws, and with a puff, it spit out the chewed thing in its mouth.
"Hehe, golden ball!" The frog opened its mouth, but it was a childish voice, exactly the same as the voice that read out the rules of the game just now.
Is this the NPC of today's game! ?
Everyone is a traveler who has experienced life and death, but at this moment, they still have the urge to vomit when looking at the "golden ball" on the frog's claws.
It was a bloody "human ball". Because of the strong physical fitness of the traveler, there might still be some breath left, so people could even see the hands and feet twitching slightly on the surface of the "ball"...
"I want to return the golden ball to the princess!" The frog muttered to itself, as if speaking the lines in the plot.
But its eyes were fixed on the traveler hiding in the forest. From its cold and cruel eyes, it can be seen that although it plays the role of a frog in the game, its target is the traveler.
Probably because of the restrictions of the game, the frog must go to the castle behind to return the "golden ball" to the princess after finding it, so although it was very reluctant, it still held the bloody "ball" in its mouth again, and then turned around and jumped into the bushes.
After the giant frog left, a traveler finally couldn't stand it anymore and complained: "What the hell! What is this thing! Is it an NPC? Or a frog? Are we looking for the ball or is it looking for the ball?"
Youxi's phone vibrated.
You Zhenzhen: Mom, you must be careful! We all have shields, only you don't, don't face it head-on!
Tang Yatong: Everyone try to get closer to each other, don't get too close together, but also stay within a distance where you can take care of each other.
Lin Wu: The frog mistook people for balls?
Youxi: This game is not that simple, think about the sentence at the end and the drawing of lots just now.
Fifteen people drew lots, it must be because different identities need to be assigned in the game.
——Note: The princess will be very sad if she makes three mistakes~
So it is impossible to find the right golden ball at once. The reason must be the number of golden balls - or the number of "suspected golden balls" is too large. Coupled with the previous draw, the answer is already obvious.
This game is not about finding balls.
These fifteen people are the "golden balls"!
**
Sure enough, a moment later, a sharp and angry voice came from the direction of the castle: "This is not my golden ball!!"
Then there was a loud bang and a scream from a childish voice.
Youxi thought of the princess's personality and angry behavior in another version, and roughly guessed what happened there. The princess should have found that the "golden ball" sent by the frog was incorrect, so she threw the frog directly to the ground or a tree.
The giant frog was thrown by the princess, and its anger value increased. I'm afraid it will come faster this time!
Sure enough, just as Youxi had finished posting his guess in the group, the giant frog had already rushed to the vicinity again at a very fast speed: "Golden ball! I want to find the golden ball!"
It roared, and scurried around the bushes, rocks and trees. Some passengers were unlucky and were found by it in their hiding places, and a fierce fight broke out immediately.
But the frog was too big, and if the skin or tongue was pierced, pus comparable to sulfuric acid would splash out. The passengers had a very hard time fighting, and even the flamethrower could not ignite the frog's skin.
But this was a life-and-death moment, and he took out his signature skills, and for a while, he hit the frog with the flying pus, making it croak.
There were also some smart tourists shouting: "Don't kill it! The rules of the game are to find the correct golden ball! If you kill the frog, everyone will die!"
"Yes! The most urgent thing is to find the correct golden ball!" someone shouted.
With this sentence, the atmosphere in the venue became tense again.
At this time, other tourists also understood that the previous lottery was an identity lottery. There must be one person who drew the golden ball, and this person is the real "golden ball" that the frog is looking for.
Only when the frog gives the correct "golden ball" to the princess can the game end.
Otherwise, once the sixty minutes are up, the game will fail.
So now they need to find the tourist who drew the golden ball among the remaining fourteen people.
But as the "golden ball", that person will definitely not fall into the trap. In fact, based on the normal game process, he (she) may also receive the game rules at the same time as drawing the golden ball.
For example, if they are not found within 60 minutes, they win the game.
In this case, he (she) will definitely protect his (her) identity and hide somewhere strictly to delay for more than 60 minutes. He (she) may even deliberately confuse the audience and point out other passengers as "Golden Ball" to deliberately attract the frog and eliminate the others first.
After understanding this situation, the passengers immediately became alert and the cooperation that had just been put together fell apart.
"Who is Golden Ball? Tell me the truth. I don't have time to waste with you! At worst, I will catch them one by one and check their bracelets!" While the frog was being entangled by a passenger, someone here had already started to take action.
"It's not me!"
"It's not me either! But who do you think
you are? Is it your turn to investigate?" "Now that you say that, it seems to be you! Come on, everyone, come together and catch him and hand him over to the frog!"
"You're talking nonsense! You must have done it on purpose! I think you are the 'Golden Ball', the thief crying 'Catch the thief'! Don't think you will be fooled!"
"Stop arguing! If we don't find out, we'll all die! I won't die with you!"
...
While there was chaos here, the battle over there was over. The frog had a lot of blood, and the pus bug meant that the man couldn't hold on. In the end, he was swallowed up and chewed into a bloody "ball" by the frog again.
"Hehe, golden ball!" The frog NPC spoke again, "I want to return the golden ball to the princess!"
The sound made the confused passengers turn around again, only to see the frog carrying the second "human ball" and jumping towards the castle.
There were only thirteen passengers left. At this moment, everyone was waiting quietly, hoping that they would be lucky and that the frog would find the right "golden ball" this time.
However, soon, an angry shout came from the direction of the castle again: This is not my golden ball! !
After that, there was the same bang and the frog's scream.
After a moment, the frog croaked like a roar and quickly jumped over here. Wherever it passed, the weeds broke and flew.
The faces of the passengers changed. The frog's anger value increased again, and its attack power seemed to increase accordingly.
"This won't work. We must first cooperate to control the frog, and then work together to find the person who drew the 'golden ball'!" Someone spoke up. This proposal was fair, but at this time, who dared to face this terrible frog?
"What guarantee do you have that you can find the person who drew the golden ball after controlling the frog?" Someone questioned.
You Xi turned around and quickly counted the number of people while the passengers were there. Thirteen people were here, and no one was hiding.
The person who drew the golden ball did not hide. It seems that if that person is not too strong to hide, then he has a way to hide the golden ball so that even if the other party checks the bracelet, they can't see any clues.
If this is the case, then it will be really troublesome. That person can blend in with other passengers from beginning to end and not let himself be found.
The frog was nearby in an instant. Youxi gave a wink to the three little friends. Everyone turned around and ran in one direction to find a more hidden place to hide.
"Golden ball! I want to find the golden ball!" The frog came, and no one fought back this time, because they knew that they were no match for the frog in a single fight.
What's more, they couldn't really kill the frog, because if the frog died, the game could not be won and everyone would die.
In the end, the game turned into a pursuit war. The frog searched everywhere wantonly, turning the surroundings upside down.
After all, it is huge in size, and its tongue can shoot. It attacks from a distance at the slightest sign of trouble, and soon finds a traveler from the gap between the rocks. The traveler calls out to others, saying that he is not the "golden ball" and asks others to come and help deal with the frog.
But at this time, no one will come to the door on their own initiative.
After a battle, the traveler also failed to escape and was chewed into a "human ball". The frog once again repeated the lines and actions.
The other travelers prayed in their hearts, hoping that the correct "golden ball" would be found this time.
Unfortunately, the princess' scream came again in the distance, and this time the scream was particularly terrifying: This is not my golden ball! You rubbish! None of them are my golden balls!
After the frog was smashed to the ground, the travelers hiding in various places heard different noises. They looked out and saw a pair of strong legs at the end of the dense weeds. It was a giant princess.
She was furious and was walking towards the forest by herself. As she walked, she issued an order: "Guards! Follow me and clear this area!"
Clear?
Everyone was still checking the giant princess who had appeared. They only saw that starting from the castle, the trees fell one by one, and the tall weeds and flowers were cut and floated in the air.
Beside the giant princess, four huge guards appeared. They were wearing black armor and black helmets. They were holding giant axes or huge lawn mowers in their hands. They were clearing the plants in the forest according to the princess's instructions.
——Note: The princess will be very sad if she makes three mistakes~
So, after three mistakes, the princess will lead the guards to run wild in the forest and squeeze their hiding space! ?
Sad?
This is called sad?
