"Holy crap, so many people... no, ghosts?"
Instead of relying on others, the three "brides" ultimately decided to escape on their own.
The three runaway brides finally decided to escape from the roof. When they finally managed to climb onto the roof and cautiously peeked out from behind it to observe their next escape route, they discovered that there were paper effigies everywhere in the mansion.
They stopped pretending during the day and moved around the courtyard in their original forms, seemingly very busy.
It looked so human, yet so eerie.
"Hiss... why do I feel like there are more paper effigies than I used to play with?"
Whether it was psychological or not, Lu Xiaoyao really felt that there were many more paper figures here than before.
"Never mind, let's leave first. Be careful when walking on the roof."
Wang Wenfei led the two in the opposite direction from where the paper effigy had moved. As they walked, Lu Xiaoyao noticed how clever Wang Wenfei was at guiding them and whispered in surprise, "I noticed there are definitely fewer paper effigies along this route! Wang Wenfei, you're amazing! How did you know?"
"I once saw a player share a route map like this when I was looking at game guides. At that time, it was a map showing the distribution of Zhang family servants in the Zhang mansion, with the fewest servants in the northwest corner. Although these servants no longer pretend to be servants and are moving around, some habits have been formed, and they probably won't change unless it affects the plot."
Wow, you still remember that?
Lu Xiaoyao looked at Wang Wenfei in surprise, and then said, "I knew before that these game-related memories would be retrieved and suppressed when I entered the game, so I was too lazy to study them. If I had known there was such a thing, I would have taken a look today."
"But you can check before you enter the game. Didn't the teacher mention that memories are no longer suppressed when she talked about this during the class meeting a few days ago?"
Zhen Po was speechless at Lu Xiaoyao's obviously lazy excuse.
Lu Xiaoyao, angrily glared at Zhen Po for being exposed by her best friend, telling him to shut up. But as soon as he shut up, Wang Wenfei added, "Even if your memories are suppressed, you should still learn about the game analysis after playing this game, so you can at least use it when reviewing and summarizing your experience."
Wang Wenfei glanced at the naive girl behind her and said, "Don't you guys write a summary after you finish playing the game?"
"I don't like writing, but the homeroom teacher required it." Zhen Po gets a headache just thinking about it; he's the kind of guy who would rather use his fists than put pen to paper.
After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at Lu Xiaoyao, who had remained silent.
Lu Xiaoyao had seen a few games end, but in most cases, after the game ended, she would argue with her "parents" in the chat about her performance in the game.
Who has time to watch game commentary?
So, seeing Lu Xiaoyao's beady eyes, they knew what was going on.
They appeared speechless, but deep down, who among them didn't feel a pang of envy?
How awesome!
Playing games without even writing a summary _(：3」∠)_ Only Lu Xiaoyao and her friends would do that!
"Ah, why are there so few servants here?" Seeing that the two people's attention was fixed on her, Lu Xiaoyao could only change the subject!
"Hmm, I heard that the Boss lives in the courtyard here."
"ah?!"
Zhen Po and Lu Xiaoyao were no longer calm.
"Are you leading us to our deaths?" Zhen Po wanted to turn around and run away as soon as she heard the word "BOSS"!
"What?" Wang Wenfei rolled her eyes at the two of them's frightened expressions.
"Just be careful when you walk. Generally, as long as you don't show yourself in front of the boss before the boss's storyline starts, it's fine."
I remember before game companies implemented NPC consciousness awakening and memory suppression mechanics, many players would use this path to enter Zhang's mansion and scout the area before the game started. While it's possible to just casually enter, people were more inclined to seek out high-difficulty challenges and thrills.
Mingmei, who heard Wang Wenfei's words from Lu Xiaoyao's perspective during the live stream, suddenly felt that something seemed off.
She seemed to remember something.
【Ghost.】
【Um?】
[Back in the beginning, in this newbie village... I remember in the game where I met Lu Xiaoyao, wasn't there a feng shui master who disappeared at the start?]
"Yes, host." Gui Gui was puzzled as to why Ming Mei had brought this up.
Do you remember how the other person died?
[At the time, someone in Lu Xiaoyao's live stream chat seemed to say that they went to Zhang's mansion to scout the location at the beginning of the game, and then accidentally danced in front of the Boss...]
Ah, so how did they sneak into the Zhang residence and even manage to get in front of the boss?
Gui Gui: [...]
Ah, it really doesn't know.
As Mingmei asked her question, she watched from Lu Xiaoyao's perspective as the three of them chatted and slowly moved across the rooftop. A bad feeling flashed through Mingmei's mind.
"Oh, back when the game hadn't been updated so that NPCs had their own consciousness, some of them would sneak into the Zhang mansion for thrills and perform these 'wall-climbing' skills."
Perhaps, most normal people see normal people, and the posts they see are all very serious, so the content they share is also perfectly normal.
The method Wang Wenfei shared is also very useful; at least, that's what all the players who commented said.
