Chapter 83 Hide and Seek (1)
=======
[The following is the game rules for the "Hide and Seek" series of levels]
【1. The game adopts a best-of-three format, with a total game time of 120 minutes, 40 minutes per game.】
[2. The first 20 minutes of each game is the action time for the 10 human players. During this period, the human players need to find the key to the escape door and their own hiding place. After 20 minutes, humans are prohibited from moving, and the two ghosts start looking for people. The search time is 20 minutes. If the number of players found by the ghosts within 20 minutes is greater than one-third of the total number of remaining players, the ghosts win the game. Otherwise, the human wins the game. ]
【3. After three rounds of games, calculate the final result. If the ghost wins and no player finds the key, all human players are eliminated; if the ghost wins and the human players have found the key, the human players who were caught are eliminated, and the human players who were not caught and the players holding the key can use the key to pass the level; if the human wins, all human players (including the caught players) can pass the level together after finding the key. 】
[Note: If all human players are captured before the three rounds of the game are over, the ghosts will win directly.]
[The rules have been announced, and the game officially begins 10 minutes later. ]
The rules this time were a bit long. While listening, Yi Han looked around.
The scene map was called "Puppet Factory", but he was in a corridor at the moment, so he couldn't see what kind of puppets this factory produced.
There were 9 teammates standing around him, listening to the rules like him, so no one spoke. In a three-star copy, the probability of a "ghost player" appearing was very low, and Yi Han's character value was high enough now, so these 9 people should all be real human players.
"I see. It looks like our mission is not just to hide, but also to find the key as quickly as possible without getting caught." After reading all the rules, the teammates immediately gathered together to discuss. A lively-looking female player spoke first.
"Yes, and finding the key has a higher priority than hiding, because if you can get the key, even if you are caught, you can still pass the level in the end." said another player.
"Well, wouldn't it be more efficient if we split up?" a younger girl interrupted.
"Yes, it would be best if ten people were divided into ten areas to search. After all, time is very tight! But we don't have a map..."
"I have this!" A male player raised his hand, "I have a prop that can display the nearby terrain, wait a moment!"
When everyone heard him say this, they all looked over. Yi Han also looked at him, and then he took out a parchment scroll. After opening it, it was empty at first, but after a few seconds, the floor plan of the entire factory appeared. The map was very detailed, and things like walls, doors, and shelves seemed to be marked out.
"Wow, brother, this is so useful... wait, this factory is so big!" After the players saw it clearly, they took a deep breath before they could even be happy.
Judging from the picture alone, this factory is quite large, with complex terrain, and there are a lot of shelf machines.
The players only have 60 minutes in total to search for the key in three rounds. It would be very difficult to find the key in such a large factory while avoiding the ghost searches at the same time.
"Everyone, my abilities may be of some help..." After the players fell silent, a girl who looked very introverted suddenly spoke timidly.
"Really, little sister? What are your abilities?" the lively girl asked hurriedly at the beginning.
In fact, theoretically speaking, in this kind of escape level, the relationship between players is not only a cooperative one, but also a competitive one, so their respective abilities and props should all be secrets... But these three-star players have been in this escape game for a long time, and have been influenced by the friendly and harmonious style of painting for a long time, so they do not shy away from these things at all. Instead, they will take the initiative to talk about their abilities and contribute their props.
"I can sense the location of a ghost every time I enter a level." The introverted girl said embarrassedly, "Actually, it's useless normally, because no matter how many ghosts there are in the level, I can only sense one, but this time there are only a few ghosts, so it may be able to help everyone a little."
"It's more than just a little, it's a huge help." The lively girl said in surprise.
"Yes! There are two ghosts in this game. If we lock on to one, our chances of being caught will be reduced by half." Another male player said, "Then where is the one you sensed now?"
Everyone was praising the girl so much that she felt a little shy. She looked at the map provided by the player in front of her and then clicked on a location.
"Probably here, but my perception only lasts for a few seconds, and he's moving slowly, so I'm not sure if he's still there now." said the girl.
"Well, anyway, now that we know there's a ghost in this area, let's avoid this area when we search," said a player.
There was only 10 minutes of preparation time before the game. After a brief discussion, everyone quickly reached a consensus and began to quickly divide the map into zones.
Because the scene is very large, it can be divided into ten parts according to the room intervals, so everyone numbered the areas in sequence from 1 to 10, and then decided that each player would be responsible for one.
"The area with ghosts is Zone 3, so let's clear it out first and focus on searching the other 9 zones!" said a player. "After the first round, the ghosts will have searched Zone 3 and will think there is no one here. Then they will go to other places in the second round. At this time, we should be able to search Zone 3 again!"
"But the ghost should have guessed that we would split up and conduct a carpet search. If it still lies in ambush there in the second round, our friends who go to Area 3 will probably be caught in ambush." Another player said worriedly.
His worries were not unfounded, and everyone fell silent again.
Yi Han had been listening to everyone's discussion quietly without saying anything. The main reason was that in addition to clearing the level, he had a more important purpose, which was to make trouble and cause damage here, and to cause trouble for the NPC in this level and the hypnotist behind him.
But it was difficult to tell his teammates about this purpose, and he didn't want to affect other people's normal clearance, so he just listened to the instructions silently, and prepared to start tossing after he went alone. Who knew that at this time, an opportunity to rush up with the NPC appeared in front of him... What a pleasant surprise, how could he not rush? !
"I'll go to District 3." Yi Han was afraid that someone would snatch the spot from him, so he spoke immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, the players looked at him with worry and admiration.
They didn't know that Yi Han had his own mission, and they all thought he was a good teammate who took the lead and was willing to take responsibility. This kind of person is actually not uncommon in this escape game, and everyone did not doubt him, but just admired him very much.
"Brother, then I'll go to Area 2. In the first round, you follow me to search this side, and then I'll accompany you to search that side in the second round!" said an enthusiastic brother in a friendly manner.
"Then I'll go to Area 4. If I can finish the search in the first round, I'll also join the list later." Another person was not willing to be left behind.
"No, I can do it by myself. I'll go to Zone 3 in the first round." Yi Han said, but then he felt that this seemed a bit arrogant and pretentious, so he casually explained, "I think the most dangerous place is the safest place, so we can just go to one zone normally, don't worry about me, it should be fine."
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to think that what he said made sense.
Having one person in one area and searching separately is indeed the most efficient way, so everyone quickly reached a consensus, and the 10 minutes were almost up, and the first round was about to begin.
"I have the skill of telepathy. Although I can't use it to chat, I can use it to transmit simple information. If any of us encounters a ghost or finds a key, remember to share the information!" Finally, a player activated his skill and explained quickly.
This skill will undoubtedly bring great help to everyone. Players are excited and have more confidence.
After a few seconds, the system prompt sounded again, and human players could start taking action.
Everyone said take care to each other and quickly left the corridor and ran to the areas they were responsible for.
Yi Han followed the route marked on the plane map and quickly entered the third area where ghosts existed.
"Are we going to go find the ghost directly?" Jian Lin poked out a head the size of two heads from the doll box and asked while leaning on the edge of the box. The box was only the size of a palm, and Yi Han hung it on his body. Jian Lin and the Q version of Xiao Hei stayed inside. At first glance, they really looked like two dolls. Even if they were not hiding in the box, they would probably be mistaken for dolls produced in this factory - in fact, strictly speaking, they now looked more like dolls than the dolls in this factory.
After entering Area 3, Yi Han finally saw the products of this factory. They did produce dolls, but they were not cartoon-style toys, but very realistic dolls that looked like real people.
Things like dolls, if they are made more two-dimensional, should look very cute, but if they are made too much like humans, they will make people feel a little scary.
Area 3 is a warehouse used to store these dolls. As soon as Yi Han came in, he saw rows of tall shelves in the hall. On the shelves were hung countless motionless dummies, both male and female, big and small. At first glance, one would think he had entered a large morgue.
"Yes, the main thing is to find the ghost, and find the key by the way." Yi Han was stunned for a moment when looking at the scene in front of him, then said.
The female player who could sense the ghost did not point out a specific location, and according to her, the ghost was still moving slowly. Yi Han now just hoped that the ghost would not move too fast, making it too troublesome for him to chase it.
The lights in the warehouse were pale and there was silence all around.
Yi Han took out the pot and the iron lock, held them in his hands, couldn't help but let out a sinister smile, and walked towards where the female player pointed.
At this time, players in the other nine zones were trying their best to move quietly and make no noise, while searching for keys and hiding places.
"Don't run into ghosts."
"Don't make any noise. If there's a ghost nearby, it might hear it."
"Oh, this game is so easy to give me a heart attack. The puppets are so ugly. I get scared every time I turn a corner and see one."
"I never thought that one day I would play hide and seek with a real ghost... It's so scary!"
These are the psychological activities of the players.
However, after they spent 20 minutes nervously and anxiously, and all found a place to hide.
