Meanwhile, the sight of a player who had been reduced to a human stump and stuck in the ground with only his head sticking out, along with the shocking news that "if you're not possessed by a ghost, you can only be pulled out," left the players stunned and speechless.
It took them quite a while to fully regain their senses.
However, despite their clear-headedness, the group couldn't come up with a solution.
"What do we do?" Lu Xiaoyao looked at the others with teary eyes. "The talismans and exorcisms mentioned in the guide are useless now, because the feng shui master is dead!"
Hu Yue and the others were also troubled. Just now, they had carefully censored Wan Jia's corpse in the game and pulled it out of the ground.
The unexpected surprise was that the other person's personal bag was still there, containing exorcising tools such as cinnabar and peach wood sword.
However, there are no longer any people who know how to use these.
The comments section is already filled with pessimistic voices, and people are even speculating about the order in which everyone will die.
It seems that no one still holds onto the possibility of beating the game.
[This is supposed to be a starting village?! If the starting village is like this, what will the later parts of the story be like?!]
Yes, I can't even imagine what the other updated games will be like.
[Just got back from the forum. It seems like none of the first wave of players this morning, whether they're from the beginner area or other escape games in the Blue Star series, have actually finished the game yet...]
Ah...has the escape game genre really gotten this complicated these days?
Now, everyone had even less hope that Lu Xiaoyao and her friends could clear the level.
That's terrible, that's terrible!
A newbie encountering Hell Mode is a disaster!
With nothing to do, Mingmei sat in the shop. The system, Guigui, thoughtfully provided her with a background live streaming viewing mode, and the live streaming channel happened to be Lu Xiaoyao's live streaming room.
Looking at the constant stream of messages pitying the "Miss Bai" character named Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei also felt that this girl was indeed quite pitiful.
This is the first time I've tried an escape game, and this is what happened.
However, Mingmei would never admit that she had tricked the other party. Just now, she saw in the comments that if Lu Xiaoyao hadn't mistaken the person for a player, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
What can Mingmei say about this idea?
She had already tried her best to remind them!
Just then, Hu Yue in the scene stared at the pile of ghost-catching tools on the ground and said unwillingly, "So the setting for feng shui masters is that they're all half-baked? If half-baked masters can use them, there's no reason why we can't!"
“That’s right!” Bai Xiao, who was well-versed in the strategies for various characters, also stepped forward. “I’ve also read the Feng Shui Master’s walkthrough, and I’ve analyzed the failures. I even remember the sequence of the talismans he drew!”
"I've seen a bit of it too."
Hu Yue also stepped forward, leaving only Lu Xiaoyao and the male teacher player who had just cried his eyes out as he remained silent.
“I…I saw it, but I don’t know how to do it.” After Lu Xiaoyao finished speaking, she looked at her “fellow sufferer” next to her. The teacher player was the same – “I…I haven’t seen it…What I saw was that following the feng shui master would allow you to pass the level.”
Hu Yuebai Xiao: I'm so tired.
Mingmei, who had just looked away, noticed that the rain seemed to have stopped outside the shop. So, just like a shopkeeper, she planned to close up shop and rest. As she walked to the door, she suddenly heard a strange noise. She looked up at the street outside her shop, and in that one glance, her pupils shrank in fright...
"Wow! It really works!"
In the Zhang mansion, which was already in complete chaos, four players each held a brush dipped in black dog blood and used it to paint on the servants who rushed towards them. Instantly, these servants were turned into life-size paper effigies.
This special effect terrified everyone present.
"No, that's not right! When the black dog blood was splashed, didn't these servants who were possessed by ghosts just collapse and disappear? When did they turn into paper figures?!"
Hu Yue and Bai Xiao immediately noticed that the plot was different from the original one. In the original plot, these servants were possessed by evil spirits, but now, they were all gone.
"Who cares! As long as he's dead!" Lu Xiaoyao slapped another talisman at the paper figure with trembling hands. Instantly, flames burst forth on the paper figure, and the paper figure, engulfed in flames, stopped moving.
"Look! It works! The talismans you drew really work!"
Lu Xiaoyao shouted excitedly, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of a beginner's village, they're really lenient with the game.
The talismans drawn by mediocre feng shui masters are effective, and they can even copy them successfully. Bai Xiao's exceptional memory deserves much credit for this, since she was the one who drew the talismans.
"We must act without delay and find the crucial evidence!" Bai Xiao and her group stood in front of the flower-covered corridor, gazing at the path leading to the backyard. "Only by breaking the Zhang family's pact with the ghosts can this impasse be broken!"
During this period of cooperation, the four of them have unknowingly formed a team centered around Bai Xiao. Whatever she says, the other three will follow suit.
But this time, Lu Xiaoyao hesitated.
"What's the point of finding the contract between the Zhang family and the ghosts?"
As soon as Lu Xiaoyao finished speaking, Hu Yue and Bai Xiao were the first to react and looked at Lu Xiaoyao, asking, "What do you mean? Could it be that this isn't how you finish the game?"
In fact, Bai Xiao had studied the game guides for every character in "The Strange Marriage" to ensure that she could adapt to any character she was randomly assigned to.
According to the strategy guide she had seen for the Bai family's daughter, didn't she eventually escape the Zhang family together with everyone else?
"My goal is to escape the fate of being Zhang's bride and flee Baishui Town." As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, her face gradually paled. She looked at Bai Xiao and asked with trembling lips, "Boss, is this always the final mission for Miss Bai?"
