"When asked how to turn on the easter eggs, I was very curious, because there are no easter eggs in our scene," Zhao Baihuan twisted her fingers together, "I thought it was Qianle or other store employees who added them to the scene.
Some free play content made players mistake it for easter eggs. However, the player took out his mobile phone and showed me the group files in an escape room communication group he was in. In it, the statistics of different players turned out to be
I encountered the so-called easter eggs in my shop..."
As Zhao Baihuan spoke, his body trembled slightly.
The voltage was a little unstable, and the lights flickered on and off. In this environment, everyone gathered in a circle to listen to Zhao Baihuan talk about the strange things in the secret room, which was really scary.
The Taoist priest looked around, pointed to the box in the corner and said to Zhao Baihuan, "It's okay, take your time, sit down and talk."
Zhao Baihuan swallowed, "By the way... the room in front is a restaurant-style room, we can go and sit there."
So, a group of people crowded around the stone table smeared with unknown red liquid and sat in a circle around the stone table.
The atmosphere is even stranger.
"After reading the statistics compiled by those people, I discovered that the same little boy had appeared in many other players' games. The rooms and locations where the players met the little boy were basically different, and even
Others said that they had seen the figure of the child on the bus, but the figures of the child they had seen all had one thing in common, that is, they suddenly appeared, and then disappeared suddenly as the light dimmed, and,
The child never deliberately scared them. On the contrary, every time he seemed to be guiding them on the next step. Because of the uncertainty of the child's appearance, this matter was widely circulated among the players, and everyone wanted to come over.
Find a way to unlock new easter eggs..."
"I must have never photographed that child in the surveillance." Jasmine murmured in a low voice.
Zhao Baihuan nodded, "Yes, sometimes, from the player's state in the video, you can clearly tell what the player is communicating with, but it looks like the player is talking to the air."
This is...
Xiaolan frowned and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
related to their areas of expertise.
"Have you ever doubted the child's identity?" the fool asked.
"I...my first instinct was, of course, that it was me..." Zhao Baihuan's eyes briefly brightened for a few seconds and then dimmed, "Qian Le and I both thought that maybe there was a slight possibility that Wansheng
Well, of course, we can’t verify it.”
"You can find a few players who have seen the child, show them Wan Sheng's photos, and ask them to help confirm." Qin Yin suggested.
"It's not that we haven't thought about it this way," Zhao Baihuan said hesitantly, "It's just... we've been thinking about what kind of excuse we should find to reasonably obtain clues from the players at once. After all...
...After all, from a business perspective, we are sellers and we are a party that needs to remain mysterious. Therefore, Qianle and I discussed it and decided to temporarily close the scene and find a way to investigate before the situation becomes more serious...
…”
"Ah, that's what I'm saying," Qiao Nian laughed, "Then a broken door is just an excuse. There's no reason to close the store after a broken door..."
"So how are you going to investigate now?" the fool asked bluntly.
Zhao Baihuan lowered his head dejectedly and shook his head again, "Not yet... Qian Le and I don't want the clerk to know these things, so... everything needs to be planned by ourselves. First of all... maybe the two of us
I will find a way to enter the player communication group, and first make statistics on the child's appearance. However, neither of us is very good at lying. Although we are only talking on the Internet, the two of us have to play several roles, which is still a little bit awkward.
Difficult.”
"I understand," Luo Jiutian suddenly raised his hand as if enlightened, "I fainted by that door last night, which should have been the trigger that made you finally decide to close the store. Did you think that the child finally stopped?
Are you content with just appearing in front of players and then starting to cause harm to them?"
Zhao Baihuan's head hung lower. He didn't speak, but they all understood what he meant.
If it was just an ordinary lonely ghost, the two Zhao brothers would have only broadened their knowledge.
But if that child is really Wansheng, then no matter whether he hurts others or not, as the elder brother, he cannot sit idly by and do nothing, and he even needs to bear a certain amount of responsibility.
Zhao Baihuan's confusion and pain were all written on his face, and he was picking at his fingernails hard at this time.
The crowd was silent for a while.
"Where is your brother?" The fool asked in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Didn't you two plan this together? Why are you the only one closing the store?"
"I asked him... to pretend to be a player and go to other secret rooms to experience it," Zhao Baihuan said a little embarrassed, "Of course, the main purpose is to get to know senior players, and then enter the chat group through senior players to get more clues, but
…It is also important to observe and learn from outstanding colleagues.”
At this point, a series of loud phone rings suddenly rang, shocking everyone in the circle to tremble.
It turned out to be Zhao Baihuan's own mobile phone.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the call notification, "It's my brother."
Everyone fell silent for a second.
"Qian Le," Zhao Baihuan answered the phone gently, "What, is there any progress?"
Then stop and wait for a few seconds.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Zhao Baihuan seemed to put on the expression of an elder strategizing, "This is just the beginning, let's take our time..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baihuan waved to them, "Qian Le said that he didn't get any clues today. It's a pity. He said that the teammates he formed today are basically new players, and most of them have never heard of us.
He doesn’t know much about the easter eggs in the store, and... and he said that because it was tiring to lead new players into the secret room, he didn’t pay much attention to the setting of scene puzzles..."
All in all, this unreliable plan showed its unreliability from the very beginning.
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Baihuan looked blankly as if to comfort himself, "there will be another chance in the future..."
Jasmine looked at Zhao Baihuan who was in despair, and then at Luo Jiutian who looked innocent.
Finally, she mustered up the courage, stood up, and approached Zhao Baihuan.
"I have an idea."
The Taoist priest glanced at Jasmine approvingly and waited for her to continue.
A circle of curious eyes.
"How about we take your place and investigate the scene where the child appeared?"
