Infinite Secret House 10 There is bad news
As soon as the words "couple's package" came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Lan Xi.
It seems like everyone is asking, why do you have a double ticket?
No, you're alone, how come it's a couple ticket?
Facing so many suspicious and inquiring gazes, Lan Xi remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he had already thrashed someone.
I finally understand why Xie Yunsui so highly recommends this dungeon game.
Did he really think that puppet theaters were for people to enjoy stage performances?
He took a deep breath before taking the ticket package.
"Please keep your tickets. Anyone without a ticket will be kicked out of the Puppet Theater."
This was an obvious rule, and everyone put the bills away immediately.
"There are still ten minutes until the theater opens. Please be patient."
Cen Yuanjie looked around the hall and asked, "How are we going to check the tickets later? Which direction is the theater?"
The space here was spacious and bright, but it was obvious that apart from the service desk and the door they had just entered, they did not see any entrance or exit.
The puppet waiter smiled, his jaw opening and closing. "Ticket checking will start at the appointed time. Please pay attention to the ticket gate opening."
Cen Yuanjie wanted to ask in detail, but he found that the waiter was in the habit of repeating these few words over and over again, playing a good Tai Chi.
Everyone else went their separate ways, planning to explore the space during the short time before ticket check.
They said it was an exploration, but in fact they gathered in groups of three or four to test each other to see if they could form an alliance.
The two girls who were whispering in front of the poster just now walked away side by side.
"My name is Ji Xiaomei, Xiao means big or small, Mei means plum blossom. What's your name?"
"My name is Qi Shiqiu, the meaning of poetry is 'poetry'..."
There are many cases like these two people secretly looking for teammates.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed and had no team spirit at all, Cen Yuanjie looked at the guy named Yu Zishao who was left alone and went over to talk to him enthusiastically.
Lan Xi and the Gu siblings walked towards the gate together, analyzing the current situation.
"There are ten of us in total. I wonder what the elimination rate is in this instance? We'd better not separate when we get inside."
Gu Che explained first: "Miao Miao and I have a few team props, and they will be more useful if we act together."
Lan Xi nodded to show his understanding.
Gu Miaoyang asked, "Why don't you summon the owner of the secret house? The ticket check will start soon. He... needs a ticket, right?"
After all, the waiter gave us tickets for two.
Lan Xi is now famous, and he himself has also added fuel to the fire. Xie Yunsui also used a magic trick to greet the monsters in the dungeon in advance and blatantly exposed their affairs to the players.
Originally, Lan Xi planned to find a time when no one was paying attention to secretly summon Xie Yunsui, but now... there is no point in keeping a low profile.
He used the pass directly.
The door of the puppet theater suddenly changed, and a melodious flute sound replaced the cheerful background music...
The two Gu siblings had also heard of the existence of the secret house, but had never seen it in person. Now that they saw with their own eyes that the secret house really existed, a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.
Props, information, everything you want is here.
Tao Sui deliberately reminded that as long as Lan Xi was in the copy, there would be no need to worry about the pass, and the money for buying the pass could be saved.
Before coming here, they sold their unused props to save up a lot of life time. In addition to the life time that Tao Sui hoped they would get from the information and intelligence obtained from the secret house, it can be said that no matter which of the brother and sister died in this copy today, Baixiao Tower would suffer a heavy loss.
The other players were attracted to the scene one after another, with subtle expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.
It would be great to be able to replenish supplies before the dungeon game officially begins.
Some smart people even asked for information related to this copy.
As soon as Lan Xi entered the room, she was taken upstairs as usual, and was kissed several times on the face by someone who was lovesick.
"I thought something happened to you and you missed this copy."
Lan Xi felt a little dizzy after being kissed so randomly by him, and she pulled the back of his collar to distance herself from him.
"What do you mean by couples' tickets? Huh?"
"It's a long story." Xie Yunsui smiled. "In short, that dungeon had been deserted for so long that it was practically extinct. The puppets were so poor they were selling themselves on the street. I was so kindhearted that I decided to help them out. I told them I was going to take my boyfriend to a show soon, and they eagerly prepared."
Lan Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you tell them to be careful and not to expose our relationship?"
Xie Yunsui blinked innocently: "Didn't you say that you wanted to spread the rumors more widely?"
He just didn't keep it.
Lan Xi laughed angrily: "It's a ten-player dungeon. Those players all know that the dungeon NPC treats me differently. If anything happens, they will definitely focus on me first or abandon me."
Xie Yunsui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've already told them. Even if I'm not here, they will let you enjoy the stage performance."
Lanxi: "..."
It feels like being pampered by the evil boss.
He shuddered and drove the strange thought out of his mind.
"Then let's just go on a date and watch the show today." Lan Xi got back to the point: "Don't we need to complete the clearance mission?"
"What's your mission to clear the level?"
"…leave the theater before closing time."
Xie Yunsui slowly said, "It seems quite simple?"
Lan Xi looked at him doubtfully. Is it really that simple?
From the player's perspective, they have to find the theater's opening hours, deal with the puppets within a limited time, and get the key to open the theater door. During this period, there are many taboos and rules waiting for them to explore. If they are not careful, they will break the rules and face punishment from the puppets...
How can it be simple?!
Apart from telling him most of the rules, Xie Yunsui didn't know any other details.
This can also be considered a dungeon mechanism. If the content is exactly the same, it will be easy for people who come in later to pass the level, which is disadvantageous to the dungeon monsters. Therefore, the clearance tasks and detailed clearance methods for each dungeon are changed.
Still dating?!
What kind of date?! He doesn't even have the energy to date!
-
After successfully completing the transaction and getting what they wanted, the players gathered again in the service hall of the Puppet Theater.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and they were looking at others to see if they had also obtained useful props or useful information.
When he took a closer look, he noticed that there was another person next to Lan Xi.
The man was wearing a white robe with a hood big enough to cover his face, and he exuded a terrifying aura that was hard to ignore.
The words "I'm not to be messed with" are written all over his body.
Is this... a monster or a human?
Even though the Gu siblings knew the situation, they were still shocked.
When they were in the secret house, they didn't come into contact with the boss at all. There was only the noisy mechanical bee selling things.
So this is what the boss of the secret house is like?
This kind of momentum is similar to the feeling they have when facing bosses in mid- to high-level dungeons.
Everyone else was silent, except for Cen Yuanjie, who inexplicably counted the number of people, and when he couldn't seem to make sense of it, he asked casually, "Dude...were you not here just now?"
Lan Xi looked up at him and said, "This is my boyfriend."
He held up his hands and held up the ballot without further explanation.
Xie Yunsui avoided everyone's sight and poked him on the back with a finger in a wronged manner.
Not only do you let me pretend, but you can't even say a few words to introduce yourself?
Cen Yuanjie scratched his head and said, "Can you bring your partner in later? Is this a prop? Haha, it turns out players can do this..."
He fell silent for unknown reasons, apparently realizing that there were no such extraordinary props among the players.
As long as there is a one-to-one prop, the bug will be discovered by players quickly.
When a god-level person is passing a dungeon, he can easily lead others through the dungeon by simply summoning them in at the last moment.
In that case, many great players who have not really passed the levels will emerge in Star City.
That would… take a lot of the fun out of the game.
So the people he brought with him were most likely not players.
Who else could be in the dungeon besides the players?
Gu Miaoyang's eyes wandered, he coughed lightly, and pretended to be very innocent and said, "Lan Xi, this is your boyfriend. I didn't expect the boss of the secret house to look so much like a human. I was shocked."
She was indeed shocked. After all, the rumor was that Lan Xi was currying favor with someone powerful, so his status must be lower than that of the owner of the secret house.
But looking at this man in white robe who obediently let Lan Xi lead him, not moving or talking, just shivering, why do I have the illusion that he is the one who is following Lan Xi eagerly?
Gu Che patted his sister on the head at the perfect time: "Stop talking nonsense."
With this concerted effort, Xie Yunsui's identity was revealed.
At least, no blind people will come to test us, and no brainless people will come to provoke us without even looking.
Xie Yunsui gave the two siblings a thumbs-up in his heart.
As for the others...
Xie Yunsui's eyes were blocked and he couldn't see, so he simply used his energy to sense the emotions of each player, trying to nip the evil thoughts in the bud.
Fortunately, except for the man with the tamagoyaki head who was so jealous, everyone else was sensible.
Um?
Xie Yunsui suddenly felt something was wrong.
“Ding~Ding~Ding~”
A clear bell rang from one place, echoing throughout the hall.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the area, where they saw a dark hole behind the service desk, facing the theater door.
A puppet with a ticket inspector tag on his head walked out of the cave.
The ticket inspector has a typical doll-like appearance, with round, wide-open eyes, thin eyebrows, high cheekbones, red lip liner, and extremely obvious black lines on both sides of the corners of his mouth.
It wore a tall black top hat that held down its messy brown hair.
It has the potential to be a boss. Just standing upright, it is more than two meters tall, and its gaze looking down at the player is full of ferocity.
It's time to check your tickets.
A rough, dry voice emanated from its gaping mouth: "Ticket checking time has arrived! Festival ticket holders, please come and check in. The ticket check-in channel will be closed in ten minutes. No one will be accepted after the deadline!"
There is actually a time limit, which makes players who want to gossip more about Lan Xi and his secret house owner's partner run to the ticket gate.
Lan Xi and the two siblings from the Gu family looked at each other, nodded, and joined the ticket checking queue one after the other.
Lan Xi followed them.
"...Yin Hui?"
A weak voice sounded behind him. If Lan Xi hadn't listened carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it. After a pause, he reacted and looked back. It was the boy with little presence.
The one who accidentally tripped in the elevator and fell on Lan Xi.
Lan Xi asked softly, "Who are you calling?"
The boy glanced at the man in white robe timidly and quickly looked away.
Lan Xi seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said directly, "His last name is Xie."
"I'm sorry, I, I was wrong." The boy apologized hurriedly, his face red with embarrassment.
"fine."
Lan Xi handed the festival ticket to the ticket inspector, who stamped it fiercely. Just as he was about to threaten the players as usual, he accidentally met Xie Yunsui's gaze under his hood, and his hungry wolf eyes instantly turned into dog eyes.
The tickets were checked and the passengers were allowed to pass quickly. Lan Xi walked through the ticket gate and was suddenly plunged into darkness.
"Why isn't there even a light?"
Lan Xi muttered and called the two siblings' names twice, but there was no response.
Not only that, the player who came in first disappeared, and the boy behind him didn't even catch up.
It's like they've entered a separate space.
Lan Xi held Xie Yunsui's hand and groped along the wall as they moved forward.
"Xiaoxi, I have bad news for you."
Xie Yunsui suddenly spoke, frightening Lan Xi.
He calmed himself down and asked, "What bad news?"
Xie Yunsui: "I only sensed nine players. One out of ten is not human."
