The moment the huge sum of 8 yuan was spent, even the NPC who played the canteen auntie was shocked.
She had worked in the escape room for so many years and received so many customers. It was common to exchange a small number of props for snacks and drinks to replenish physical strength, but it was the first time she encountered the behavior of directly exchanging all props for food! What's more, those escape rooms outside were commercial escape rooms, which mainly took care of the customer's gaming experience...
But this is a variety show, a variety show where the winners will get resources that countless people are drooling over! "Okay, the four of you can go in. Please note that the dining time cannot exceed one hour..."
Shang Qianyu took the lead and called out to his three teammates: "You must be hungry, come in!"
The money had been spent, and even if the three of them had a lot to complain about, they could only walk into the cafeteria and get some food each.
Feng Luo was the first to lose his temper: "Shang Qianyu...you, do you still have money?"
As a star, Feng Luo has to pay attention to his image, eating less and slower, and also manage his body shape. Being hungry is a common occurrence for him.
Besides, Shang Qianyu had just suffered such a severe shock, how could he have an appetite? ! He was really hungry, so what if he bought a normal meal for 1 yuan? Feng Luo's heart was bleeding after spending these two yuan.
"No, that's all." Shang Qianyu began to eat heartily, "Oh, don't worry about it, I'll treat you!"
It’s not a question of whether to invite or not!!! Feng Luo was completely desperate. She decided that the group’s funds could be kept by anyone in the future, but definitely not by Shang Qianyu: “Forget it… What should we do next? Do you have any idea?”
"I just looked at the notice board and there are several tasks on it."
"Tell me about it?"
"One is about the generator, one is related to the dormitory key, one is to investigate the toilet, and the last one is an errand task... Which one do you think is more important?"
Feng Luo elegantly forked up a cherry tomato and put it into his mouth: "It feels like every task is very important... Wait, shouldn't these four tasks be divided into four groups to complete separately?"
"Yeah, so we have a big first-mover advantage now and can choose the missions we want to do."
Zhang Wei also added at the right time: "Not only that, we can even accept two tasks, receive two rewards and two key information!"
Hearing this, Shang Qianyu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "But in this place, it's very difficult for four people to complete the mission. It's too dangerous to split up the troops."
"I think so too... Let's do an important task first."
Zhang Wei also clearly agreed with the more conservative decision: "Indeed, the evil intentions of this secret room are a bit too great. It is best to keep four people to act, and this will also save light sources the best."
"I feel like the dormitory mission is a little more important! Don't forget that we'll all be spending the nights in the secret room these days, so getting to know some dormitories early on is definitely not a bad thing."
The time for walking in the safe zone is restricted, and it is unrealistic to sleep in the safe zone.
This was also the reason why they urgently discussed the next tactics while eating.
The time spent in the safe zone cannot be too rigid.
Otherwise, if they encounter danger in the secret room, they will have nowhere to escape!
"The generator mission is also very important, right?" Shang Qianyu listened to everyone's heated discussion, still a little worried, "I feel like this is a mission closely related to the flashlight."
Feng Luo took a sip of yogurt and said, "It is very important, but after this task is completed, everyone will definitely be able to enjoy the results... In this case, why not throw it to other teams to do?"
"Okay, then after we finish eating and taking a rest, we will go take over the mission for that dormitory."
“…”
Twenty minutes later, four people walked out of the cafeteria and came to the bulletin board.
Zhang Wei asked: "Can you introduce the details of the mission?"
The hanging NPC didn't even raise his eyes: "Which mission do you want to take?"
"dormitory."
"A very smart choice... Hehe." The Upside-Down Man laughed sinisterly, "That's where you'll be staying overnight. It's not a bad idea to investigate the place in advance."
"The night here, hehe..."
"Find the secrets there, find the student ID cards... and you'll have the authority to assign rooms to everyone. If you find any valuable items, you can bring them here and exchange them for money."
Several people tried their best to pretend that they didn't hear it. "Okay, we will accept this task."
After accepting the mission, they did not leave the safe zone in a hurry, but returned to the store and found the owner lying on the bed.
"Boss, what do you sell in your store? Can you introduce it to me?"
The shopkeeper said in a hoarse voice, "Old customer... Sure. Item synthesis parts, such as lighters, are 2 yuan each; flashlight batteries are 6 yuan each; disposable danger sensors are 15 yuan each; random clues are 20 yuan each; team locators are 25 yuan per set; resurrection scrolls that add one life are 30 yuan, and the purchase is limited to one."
"That's all for now. If you need anything else, you can ask me. I might have some in stock..."
After hearing these extremely crucial things, Feng Luo felt even more annoyed.
Eight dollars!
What an important supply.
It was squandered just like that! "There is no other useful information. Let's go." Zhang Wei nodded and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Since you bought my stuff, I'll give you an extra clue for free..." The shop owner suddenly said, "Don't, don't, don't go to the fourth floor of the dormitory."
"Be careful of that old hanging guy, there are many things he hasn't told you. Okay, go ahead."
These words were spoken very calmly, but the four members of the team could not help but tremble in their legs.
Dormitory... the fourth floor?! The entire secret room only has three floors! Where does the fourth floor come from?
Also, the person who issues the quest should not be trusted? Could it be that the three NPCs in the safe zone are not all friendly?!
Or is this store owner cheating people?
"Let's go...let's go." Zhang Wei shook his head and forced himself to wake up. "We have too little information right now. Thinking about this is not only useless, but will also increase psychological pressure."
As the team leader, Zhang Wei took out two torches from his backpack and said, "Distribute the resources. The three of you take the flashlights. I'll take two torches. You can use the remaining torches in case of emergency."
"Let's go, let's go."
The four of them calmed down, and after making sure the surroundings were safe, they left the safe zone and headed towards the dormitory building.
The map they had did not include the dormitory, so they had to grope their way forward.
The only good news is that the cafeteria and dormitory are very close to each other, which means that if they encounter danger, the four of them can evacuate to a safe area as quickly as possible.
After crossing the silent abandoned cafeteria, the four carefully pushed open the wooden door and came to the stairwell.
Having learned from previous lessons, they habitually locked the door tightly from the inside.
After making sure that they would not be attacked from behind, they turned on their flashlights and began to look for clues around them.
Like all student dormitories, there are both stairs and elevators.
Shang Qianyu took a flashlight, shone it on the crooked words next to the elevator button, and slowly read: "Faculty elevator, students are not allowed to use..."
"Uh, what are we now?"
"Have you forgotten the plot introduction? We are outsiders without an identity. We probably need to get some key props to use this elevator."
"Then take the stairs. Be careful and remember not to run!"
The four of them walked up the stairs carefully, trying their best to ignore the various scratches and bloodstains on the walls.
"Wait!" Just as they were about to go up the stairs, Zhang Wei, who was standing on the side, suddenly reached out and stopped the others, "Something is wrong here!"
In this weird and eerie environment, everyone's nerves were on high alert, and the fact that there was something "wrong" with these three people was enough to bring great fear.
Even if these three words come from teammates.
Feng Luo was startled and took back his foot: "What's wrong? Don't be so startled!"
"Look at the ground." Zhang Wei shone the flashlight on the ground and signaled with his eyes, "See? There are footprints on the steps."
"Footprints..." After being reminded, Feng Luo also saw footprints on the stone steps.
On each step of the stairs, there is a bright red footprint, and the footprint has no texture at all, and it looks more like it was drawn than stepped on.
"What does this footprint mean?" Shang Qianyu, who was following behind, asked.
Zhang Wei didn't say anything, but stretched out his foot and slightly hovered over the footprint.
After comparing for a while, he shook his head and said, "You guys should compare as well."
Several people immediately understood what Zhang Wei meant, so they all walked forward. After more than ten seconds, they found that only Feng Luo's foot shape could perfectly match the footprints on the ground.
Feng Luo was immediately unhappy: "What does this mean? Am I the only one who can go up there? What's the difference between exploring such a dangerous place alone and seeking death?"
Zhang Wei thought about it, shook his head and said, "This is a group task, it's definitely not designed like this. This is probably just a test of our observation skills. As long as you go up the stairs, the footprints will probably disappear."
Looking at the endless darkness above, Feng Luo was about to argue a few more words when there was a slight knock on the door behind them.
Boom, boom, boom…
A few people were so scared that they turned around and looked outside the door, but they saw nothing.
But... the knocking sound refused to disappear.
Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom!
Knock! Knock! Knock! As if dissatisfied with the lack of response from the door, the knocks on the door began to become more frequent, forceful... and impatient.
"Hurry up and go up, otherwise we will all die here!"
Feng Luo was frightened by the knock on the door. He could only grit his teeth and walk up step by step along the footprints with a determination to give it all.
Crunch...
When I stepped onto the stairs, a teeth-grinding noise was heard, as if indicating that the stairs were very unstable and would soon collapse.
"The arrangement of these footprints is too inhumane." Feng Luo cursed inwardly as he walked on the steps with a clumsy posture, "Only someone with crooked legs can leave footprints like this, right?!"
But... things have come to this point. If she doesn't leave, she will definitely be caught up by the monster knocking on the door. She can only bite the bullet and finish walking up the stairs in front of her.
One step, two steps... Twelve steps... Around the corner of the stairwell, twenty-four steps...
Without any trouble, Feng Luo finally arrived at the second floor of the dormitory building.
"Huh... There really isn't any danger." Feng Luo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to shout down, "You can come up now!"
After shouting, Feng Luo, who had a psychological trauma about the stairwell, walked forward a few steps and shone the flashlight in his hand on the wall.
After taking this photo, she was stunned.
"4th, 4th floor?! Didn't I just go up one floor?!"
At the same time, there was a noise behind her.
A feeling of extreme fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Feng Luo immediately turned around, wanting to hurry down and return to his teammates.
However, when looking back, there was only a wall left where the stairwell had originally been.
Feng Luo: “…”
The most frightening situation has come. She is separated from her teammates! The flashlight will soon run out of power, and she has no idea how to leave. The dormitory on the 4th floor that she was warned about just now...
The fear that had been ignored surged into his heart at this moment! Feng Luo felt that there was danger everywhere in the long and narrow corridor!
After panicking for a minute, Feng Luo took two deep breaths and decided to find a safe dormitory, lock the door, and stay there as long as he could.
The three teammates will definitely notice that they are missing. As long as they can wait for their teammates to rescue them, all problems will be solved.
"All house numbers are 404..." Feng Luo was silent for a moment. Looking at this number that represents "non-existence", the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
"Forget it, let's go in first."
After entering the room, Feng Luo carefully searched under the bed, in the cabinets, in the toilet, on the ceiling... In short, she did not miss any place where a person could hide.
After confirming that it was safe, Feng Luo locked the door with confidence.
Fortunately... I ate something before exploring, so I can still hold on.
Feng Luo sighed and looked at himself in the mirror.
Even though the situation is quite worrying, she still cares about her image.
"My hair is a little messy, tidy it up..."
Feng Luo raised his hand and combed his hair twice, then suddenly felt that the mirror was a little strange.
For a normal mirror, shouldn't the mirror surface and the person's movements be reversed? When a person lifts the left and right mirrors, he or she should lift the right hand...
How come this mirror is straight? Wait... Shit! Feng Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned around and rushed towards the door!
However, the door was clearly locked from the inside and Feng Luo couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried!
There was the sound of a mirror breaking behind me, and a burst of hurried footsteps approached rapidly.
Feng Luo turned her head subconsciously, but saw a mannequin with a face and figure that looked exactly like her, but with eyes rolled up, a hideous face, and the uncanny valley effect at its peak.
At this moment, their noses were touching.
“Ah!!! Help!!!”
"ah--"
…
At the same time, the picture in the director's room was frozen at this moment.
Feng Luo's distorted face and the tears of fear that welled up in his eyes were clearly captured by the built-in camera of the dummy.
On the screen, the originally elegant and delicate first-line actress is now in a miserable state, with her facial features almost out of place. How can you still see her original image? Yang Ruoqian couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Okay! This is it for this episode, and it will be released quickly after editing!" (End of this chapter)
