Infinite Secret House 11 The information in the secret house is really useful...
Lan Xi struggled to digest Xie Yunsui's words.
What does it mean that there is someone who is not a human?
This is a low- to mid-level copy, right?
Not only do you have to solve the puzzle and escape from the theater, but you also have to find out the undercover among the players?
Lan Xi swallowed and said, "You...didn't you find out who it was?"
"It's probably due to the dungeon rules. I can't see through it." Xie Yunsui frowned slightly. "I can only detect the auras of nine players. I was born in a monster camp, so I'm a little sensitive to player auras."
Lan Xi: "Is that person a monster in disguise? Or is he a puppet? The puppet on the poster that looks like a real person?"
Xie Yunsui shook his head slowly.
“…Not sure.”
So it's bad news. Things seem to have gone beyond Xie Yunsui's plan.
Xie Yunsui was sure that this item was not among the things the puppets had revealed to him before, but he was not sure whether this was one of the obstacles set for passing the level.
Lan Xi pondered for a few seconds. He hadn't greeted everyone properly just now, so he didn't know most of them.
It is really difficult to discuss who is the undercover agent now.
The monsters disguised as humans must be trying to cause trouble and prevent them from passing the level.
It’s better to be more cautious when encountering players in the future.
Now the most important thing is... where are they?
After walking a few more steps, light finally appeared in front of me. In front of a hall door stood a glowing digital light with "1" marked on it.
"Is this, Hall 1?" Lan Xi asked.
He didn't rush in, but walked forward with Xie Yunsui.
The light appeared in front of him again, and he walked forward quickly and found that it was still Hall 1.
"It seems this space is connected to Hall 1. No matter where I go, I'm just going in circles."
Lan Xi turned around and said, "We are going in."
Xie Yunsui wisely pulled down his hood and pretended to be cool.
Alas, it is not that easy to be a cheater.
…
In Theater No. 1, accompanied by melodious music, a group of puppets dance on the stage.
The two girls watched with great interest in the audience.
When Lan Xi and Xie Yunsui came in, they both just tilted their heads slightly to pay attention, then turned their gaze back to the stage.
Unlike the real world, the stage here is huge, so big that it takes up more than half of the theater, but there are very few seats, almost all of which are in front of the stage, which is the best viewing position.
The two girls sat in the front row, and Lan Xi sat on the side of the back row.
This kind of distance will not give the two girls a sense of oppression, but at the same time it will not completely lose their vision and make them feel uneasy.
Lan Xi whispered to Xie Yunsui, "Okay, let's watch the dance performance."
Xie Yunsui quietly pulled up his hood and began to enjoy the performance.
The puppets on the stage wear similar costumes and have the same expressions on their faces. At first glance, they look like they were copied and pasted.
But their movements were a little stiff, as if someone was holding their limbs to perform.
This is understandable. As a puppet made of wood, it is great if it can move flexibly.
Lan Xi, however, was not so interested in appreciating the puppets. He was observing the movements and expressions of each puppet.
There is one puppet expression that is different from them.
A slight smile appeared on its face, and its dancing movements became even more smooth.
It is located very far back, and sometimes the light cannot reach it, but it still dances to the music in a trance.
Lan Xi kept looking at it, not knowing if it was an illusion, but after feeling people's enthusiastic gazes, the doll danced more gracefully.
The two girls next to them started chatting as they watched.
Ji Xiaomei: "If you don't look at their faces, the dance is actually okay, but a little weird."
Qi Shiqiu: "It's pretty good. They dance even more smoothly than me."
Ji Xiaomei was curious: "Have you ever learned to dance?"
"Yes, when I was a kid, I signed up for classes. I started with dance class. My mom said that kids who learn to dance have better temperament when they grow up. But my limbs were stiff, so I couldn't learn at all. Later, I started learning musical instruments. I can play the piano and violin."
"That's amazing! When I was little, I could only play in the mud with those little kids at the village entrance."
Ji Xiaomei looked at her enviously. No wonder she thought her name was so nice just now.
Qi Shiqiu said, "It seems they have finished dancing once."
"Ah?" Ji Xiaomei looked at the stage: "Is the dance over?"
Qi Shiqiu whispered, "Look at the puppet that dances the best. Its expression becomes more and more enjoyable the more it dances. After it finishes a dance and starts over, its expression will return to normal."
The dancing puppets will change their positions according to the formation. Their positions at the beginning and the middle are sometimes very different, but at the end, the formation slowly changes and can actually connect with the dance at the beginning.
Just like many short videos on the Internet, the ending is just connected to the beginning. Some people watched it for several minutes without seeing the ending. When they clicked on the details, they found that the video was only fifteen seconds long.
If you are not careful, you will keep watching and waste your time.
Qi Shiqiu realized that this dance performance was wasting their time, so she immediately pulled Ji Xiaomei to look for useful clues in the theater.
If they can't find it, they have to hurry to the next hall.
After the two of them started moving, Lan Xi also whispered to Xie Yunsui: "They should be players, right?"
Xie Yunsui hesitated for a moment: "My perception seems to be confused. I can't feel anything anymore."
Does the ability to be forcibly influenced by rules mean that the problem-solving approach is related to this?
Lan Xi's eyes flickered, and he immediately walked towards the two girls: "Hello, would you like to exchange some information?"
The two girls looked at him warily: "Exchange what?"
Lan Xi smiled and tried to show kindness: "I just want to clear the level and won't do anything to the other players. If you're worried, I can tell you first."
Ji Xiaomei protected Qi Shiqiu and said, "Then you speak first."
She doesn't care about being polite.
Lan Xi said, "I've learned that out of the ten of us, there are only nine players. Be careful of puppeteers among us."
Ji Xiaomei spoke frankly: "Then why can't it be you? Are you deliberately saying this to affect our relationship?"
I finally found a teammate and was able to let down my guard and work together in the dungeon.
Saying such things at this time, isn't it intentional to sow discord between them?
Qi Shiqiu patted Xiaomei's shoulder, signaling her to calm down for now. "Xiaomei, he should be telling us to pay attention to lone players."
Lan Xi explained, "Being an undercover agent won't affect anything outside of our instance. As long as you've confirmed each other's identities, there's no problem. I just wanted to remind you not to be exploited."
Qi Shiqiu: "Okay, we'll keep an eye on it. Did you come in with those two players who look alike?"
She noticed that the three of them were together at the beginning.
Lan Xi nodded: "Yes, but we got separated. If you meet the two siblings later, if they are not together, you must be on guard."
"Thank you." Qi Shiqiu asked, "What do you want from us?"
"What was the number at the door when you just came in?"
“3.”
"Room 3?"
Lan Xi just wanted to confirm, but she got a very unexpected answer.
He remembered that he entered Hall 1.
He told the two girls his serial number, and they were also surprised, and then compared the details.
After checking their tickets, they were afraid that a powerful monster might jump out of the darkness, so the two of them walked in holding hands. After they came in, the people in front and behind them seemed to have disappeared. They groped their way to Hall 3 in the darkness, and after they came in, all they saw were puppets dancing.
"After we came in, the girl you knew also came in, but she took a look at the theater and left quickly."
Lan Xi quickly figured out the reason: "She got separated from her brother, so she must have gone to look for someone first."
He said that he was the second to last person to come in. He walked around the door for a while, but found himself going in circles, so he came in.
This was also the first hall he entered.
"There are still too few clues right now. I hope we can form a friendly alliance so we can continue exchanging information when we meet again. After all, completing the game is the most important thing." Lan Xi smiled and said, "After all, the game doesn't say that only one person can complete it, right?"
This means that they don't have to hurt each other.
The two girls looked at each other before agreeing.
"Then let's set up a secret code. If we accidentally get separated, we must use the same secret code when we meet again and then exchange information." Ji Xiaomei was still worried, so she added an extra layer of insurance.
The three of them agreed on the secret code and began looking for clues in the dance hall.
Lan Xi looked around but couldn't find it. He thought about confirming the number of the entrance hall and wanted to find the Gu brothers and sisters as soon as possible to exchange clues, so he took Xie Yunsui and left the hall first.
"Should we leave as soon as possible?" Ji Xiaomei saw that there were only two of them left in the hall, and she unconsciously hurried.
Qi Shiqiu said, "Actually, I forgot to mention that I exchanged information about this dungeon in the secret room. The little bee told me to be friendly to the puppets in the dungeon."
She looked up at the puppets. "There are no other clues here, only the puppets. I think the clues should be with them."
Ji Xiaomei frowned: "Do you want to search them?"
Qi Shiqiu shook her head. She always paid special attention to the particularly outstanding dancer.
She patted Ji Xiaomei to comfort her, walked to the edge of the stage, and suddenly smiled and praised: "You danced so beautifully, so amazing."
Perhaps because they heard the praise, the puppets on the stage danced while focusing all their attention on Qi Shiqiu.
At first glance, the visual image is a bit scary.
The most dancing puppet suddenly left the stage and circled in front of the group, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."
It bent down and bowed gracefully to Qi Shiqiu.
Triggered!
The information in the secret room is really useful!
Ji Xiaomei hurried over and looked at Qi Shiqiu in surprise.
Qi Shiqiu didn't expect that he could actually trigger the puppet's conversation, so he hurriedly imitated it and returned the greeting.
She asked it tentatively: "What's your name?"
The puppet held the hem of her skirt and replied elegantly, "Dancer, that's my name."
"It sounds really good." Qi Shiqiu continued to praise it, and then asked directly: "Do you know how long this theater is open?"
The puppet shook his head: "I don't know. We will just dance until the lights go out here."
Ji Xiaomei quickly asked, "Then how long does it usually take for the lights to turn on and off?"
The puppets continued to be unaware that there was no time device in the hall. They only knew how to dance and had no idea what time was.
Ji Xiaomei was obviously disappointed. Qi Shiqiu thought for a moment and then changed the question: "Do you remember how many times you danced in total?"
"I know!" the puppet replied happily. "From the moment the light came on to the moment it went off, it danced a total of one hundred and sixty times!"
Qi Shiqiu remembered that she looked at the time. It took exactly three minutes to complete one dance, which means 160 times is eight hours!
The theater has a strict ticket checking time. Unless there are any unexpected events, the show will be forced to end eight hours after the ticket checking begins.
They have to leave the theater within eight hours!
The two girls were very excited to confirm the time so that they wouldn't have to worry about the time limit all the time.
It was a rare opportunity to talk to the puppet, so Qi Shiqiu suppressed his joy and wanted to ask more questions.
However, the puppet didn't quite understand many questions, such as how many theaters there were in total, how to leave the theater, etc. She just said she didn't know.
Finally, Qi Shiqiu racked his brains and remembered the poster next to the service desk.
"You know the most popular celebrity puppet..."
"Of course it's Master Lyle!" The puppet suddenly held his face in his hands and said in an intoxicated and dreamy tone, "He's the most popular celebrity puppet artist. It's an honor for the puppet to be painted by him."
There are three puppets on that poster whose faces can be clearly seen. I wonder which one is Lyle?
Qi Shiqiu continued to ask: "The one you like must be very good, but this is my first time here, so I don't know it very well. What does it look like?"
“It’s beautiful!”
Wait, no one knows how beautiful is in the eyes of a puppet!
There were only three celebrity puppets in total. Ji Xiaomei asked, "What color is its hair?"
"It's a light brown." Danser looked a little shy. "I dyed my hair the same color as Lyle's."
Then Lyle is the puppet with a delicate face and a calm expression.
Both of them memorized the appearance of the three puppets and matched them up immediately.
In the end, there was really nothing left to ask, so Qi Shiqiu and the others obediently thanked the puppet Danser.
Dancer spun gracefully back onto the stage.
When Qi Shiqiu left, he couldn't help but look back at Danser and said to Xiaomei, "I always feel that it looks like a human."
Ji Xiaomei didn't have that much artistic talent, so she couldn't really appreciate the puppets. She just said, "Hey, I think these puppets are pretty realistic, too."
Qi Shiqiu said regretfully, "If there were such a puppet in real life, I would probably want to buy one and take it home."
Unfortunately, I have become a player and my resurrection is nowhere in sight.
