Well, Wips originally thought he was at least someone important, but it turns out he was just a fool.
"What the hell is this game all about?!"
Although the game rules state that everyone can reveal their identity card, not a single one of the five players chose to reveal their identity card.
This is not necessarily a team-based game.
Boss Tiger sat in a chair behind the door, legs crossed: "The timer has started, I think you can set off now."
Jiang Ran remembered that from the street, the building appeared to have three floors, meaning they needed to find a way to escape from this secret room that simulated a three-story inn.
In fact, no matter how difficult other games are, they are gentle in terms of rules, because even if you lose miserably, at most they will take your money, not your life.
Therefore, in the game, the ghost story tellers do not have such great psychological pressure, which allows them to perform better. However, Boss Tiger makes it clear from the beginning of the game that people will die in his game. Regardless of whether his words are true or not, it will bring an invisible pressure to everyone.
There was nothing there at their current location. If they just walked forward and pushed open the rotten wooden door, they would reach the inn's corridor.
Jiang Ran didn't want to waste time. Staying here staring at each other wouldn't do any good. The five of them left the starting point together. Jiang Ran walked towards the left corridor, and Weipus followed.
However, the other three clearly did not have this intention.
It's very simple. Weps and Jiang Ran have had experience cooperating, but they don't. The relationship between the White Eagle and the Dragon Kingdom has never been good, and the British Empire also harbors some slight hostility towards the Dragon Kingdom because Han Xiaodong was killed by Jiang Ran. Moreover, the person who came here is Jiang Ran himself.
As for that guy from Black Sheep Country... well, nobody cares about him.
"This game seems more dangerous than I imagined." The Tales of the Never-Setting Sun stretched and went straight to the nearest room, lying down on the slightly moldy bed.
"I'm not participating in this game. Paradise coins are not as important as my life."
The White Eagle Kingdom's ghost storyteller felt something was amiss. If this guy really valued his life so much, why would he suggest giving up here?
He didn't say he wanted to give up when he had read the rules but hadn't paid the entrance fee yet. He didn't say he wanted to give up when he couldn't quit the game but hadn't actually entered the inn yet. Why is he saying he wants to give up now?
Moreover, if the real reason was to avoid danger, why not go back to the original location instead of finding another room?
"If you've decided to do the same, then go find another room and don't stay with me."
The ghost storyteller closed the door, locking the two outside.
Your identity is: Treasure Owner
The treasure you possess grants you a map of the entire inn, allowing you to easily find the exit. However, you will need time to decipher the code on the treasure chest. After surviving within the inn for 50 minutes, you will directly discover the location of the exit.
He doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait quietly for victory. Whether others get out or not is none of his business. Even if he's the last one to leave, his victory reward won't be reduced.
"Let's hurry up and find a way to leave here..." the Black Sheep Kingdom ghost storyteller said somewhat nervously, "I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen."
"You'll come with me."
The White Eagle Kingdom's ghost storyteller thought that having someone to shield him from arrows by his side didn't seem like a bad thing; who knew what kind of thing might suddenly pop up in this godforsaken place.
"Jiang Ran—"
Wips wanted to catch up, but then he thought that he didn't seem to have anything to say. The two of them had only worked together in the world of ghost stories, and they weren't even friends in the real world.
However, in the world of ghost stories, not being enemies is already considered a very good relationship.
"What's wrong?"
"This place is really cold, I wonder if they have the air conditioning on." Weps was only wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt, and he could clearly feel the chill enveloping him after entering the inn scene. "So you think this game can be escaped by finding the exit?"
“Not necessarily.” Jiang Ran shook his head. “The exit may not be hard to find, but leaving will definitely not be easy. It could be a key, or it could be some other tool. We’ll probably have to find something similar to open the door to leave here.”
“Looking for things again—” Weipus smiled wryly. “Why do I always encounter these things whenever I enter the world of ghost stories? God really loves to play jokes on me.”
Finding a tiny key in a three-story inn within an hour is no easy task.
"In any case, let's try to find a way out of here first. If we can get out directly, that would be great. If not, we'll just have to find the key."
As soon as Weps finished speaking, the already dim lights in the corridor went out instantly, plunging the two into complete darkness. The next second, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from afar.
"Hide first!"
Jiang Ran quickly found the nearest room based on her previous memory. After the two entered the room, they immediately closed the door tightly and held it shut!
"This ghost..."
Jiang Ran immediately covered Weps' mouth!
"Think about the rules yourself. Don't make me remind you of these things!"
[Rule 4: Do not win all the Paradise Coins from the NPC unless absolutely necessary. Do not verbally abuse or assault the NPC during the game. Please follow the rules as stated by the NPC. Once you participate in a game, Paradise Coins will not be refunded regardless of whether you quit midway.]
The word "insult" is quite apt; any malicious statement directed at an NPC could be judged as an insult. Swearing might feel good for a moment, but if it leads to your death, it's a terrible kind of pleasure.
"Phew—thanks, bro!"
Insulting and assaulting NPCs are strictly prohibited, and this time the game rules also do not allow them to destroy any scene objects, which greatly reduces the operability!
"It's alright, just go for it! I've left a spatial imprint on the streets, so if anything seems amiss, we can just escape!"
During this period, Wips did not change his talent; his talent remained the spatial imprint, which was somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God technique.
"Um."
Thump thump thump—
The sound of high heels stopped at the door, and was replaced by a knock.
The two held the wooden door firmly. Given Jiang Ran's current strength, ordinary ghosts might not be able to get in, and neither of them would be foolish enough to open the door for the ghosts outside.
Knock knock knock!
The knocking grew more and more urgent, until it was almost banging on the door!
