Nightmare Apostle

"Is it possible that the NPC accidentally touched the player's sensitive parts during its actions?

Yang Xiao asked.

The female clerk shook her head decisively, "No, our boss has repeatedly given orders not to have any unnecessary physical contact with customers, and the direction of the opening of the secret door under the table has been carefully calculated so that players can avoid the player's position when exiting from there."

"Which one of them is hurt?"

"It's the fat man with the tattoo on his left arm. His injury wasn't serious at all, but his finger was cut a little.

The one who yelled frightened us all at the time. Thinking about it later, he probably cut it himself while the lights were off. "The female clerk became more and more angry as she thought about it.

Yang Xiao recalled for a moment, and realized that there was indeed a fat man among the people outside. He was not tall, had dyed hair, half black and half white, and very arrogant.

"Did you say what their demands were?" Yang Xiao then asked.

"Yes, we are required to pay compensation, publicly apologize to them, and...immediately remove the illegal script of Mengguixi," the female clerk said in one breath.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao's blood pressure rose immediately. He just wanted to get a few gangsters to extort some money, but he actually wanted to take down his own script and dared to take action on his life. These people really didn't know that he was Ye Xiao, the Emperor of the Underworld. means.

"Teacher Wen...Mr. Wen?" The female clerk didn't know Yang Xiao's real name, she only knew the pen name he used to write scripts. And just at that moment, she felt that the temperament of the man in front of her suddenly changed, becoming sinister. It’s daunting.

"It's okay." Yang Xiao calmed down. He had already thought of how to deal with these little things. "Please help me introduce how to play this script."

The area of ​​this room is not small. Yang Xiao has been to Brother Zhao's store. He remembers that there used to be two small rooms here, which must have been connected.

In the middle of the room is a long table with an antique style. There is an antique purple sand teapot and a complete set of tea sets on the table. The surrounding decorations are also as close as possible to the records in the script, including old-fashioned wooden wardrobes and dark red dressing rooms. On the stage, there is a wooden bed placed against the wall. A light gauze curtain hangs from the wooden bed, creating a rather mysterious feeling.

There is also a row of plastic mannequins standing near the wardrobe. The models are wearing various costumes that match the era of the script. They are for both men and women. They seem to be of good quality. The good docility helps players quickly assume the roles in the script.

A small space is specially left between the two supporting wooden boards under the long table. If the secret door is closed, it cannot be seen from the outside. The space inside is enough to accommodate an adult who is not very tall and hides in it. .

After patiently listening to the female clerk's introduction, Yang Xiao had a more systematic understanding of how the script was played. Although he wrote the script, Brother Zhao found someone to make some modifications based on it. After all, it had to be combined with the actual situation in the store. need.

Just as he had planned from the beginning, the script of the Menggui drama combines reasoning and supernatural powers, allowing players to find clues on their own under the guidance of NPCs and experience the joy in the script. Yang Xiao's original intention of writing the script was to provide customers with Bring joy.

Most of the more exciting horror spots in the room are designed according to Yang Xiao's plan, allowing players to advance the plot and find clues while being constantly frightened. For example, there is a plot where one of the female players is asked to turn off the lights and look in the mirror. With the lights turned off, light a candle and sit alone in front of the mirror for one minute to comb your hair.

The candle has been designed not to burn for that long, and will go out in about 30 seconds. At this time, the female player in front of the mirror will find that even without the candle, the mirror is still lit, and there is someone wearing the same clothes as her inside. A woman dressed the same way was combing her hair, but it was disheveled and covered in blood.

These are pre-recorded videos, recorded by store staff sitting in the same position and wearing the same ancient costumes as the players. However, according to the female store clerk, the horror effect of this scene is surprisingly good.

Similar arrangements include strange knocking sounds in the closet, ghost hands sticking out from under the bed, and scary figures sticking out of the window.

Among them, Yang Xiao saw the terrifying figure posted outside the window. It was disguised by a staff member wearing an alien helmet several times larger than his own head. This scene was obviously a recreation of the night when his group first arrived at the Feng Family Mansion. There was a An extremely bloated ghostly figure stuck to the window.

Judging from the setting, it can be determined that Brother Zhao put a lot of thought into it. Because of this, Yang Xiao will not let Brother Zhao and his own hard work go to waste.

Of course, the most unique of these designs is the person hiding under the table. The position of the secret door is very clever. Even if it was Yang Xiao's first time to play, he might be shocked if he didn't know the inside story.

Of course, there is a price to pay for frightening Yang Xiao, because Yang Xiao will pull out the ghost whisk in the next second, regardless of whether he is a human or a ghost, just pull it out first.

After visiting all the layouts in the room, Yang Xiao is already familiar with it. The most conspicuous thing on the plastic model is the red wedding dress. This is reserved for NPCs to wear. It is hidden under the table and they can do tasks while the lights are turned off. The time period crawls out quietly, blends into the players, and creates surprises. This is also Yang Xiao's specialty.

"Do me a favor, go outside and call those yellow guys in and let them play again for free. No money.

If there are any problems with the script, or even simple dissatisfaction, we will agree to their request, compensate them, and remove the script. "

Hearing this, the female clerk was startled, "How...how can this be done?"

Yang Xiao knew that this matter was of great importance and she couldn't decide it even as a front desk clerk, so she called Brother Zhao directly. No one answered the call after a long time.

After Yang Xiao hung up, she called Beibei directly and asked her to find someone from the police to help smooth things over. After all, their patrol station and the police station were considered a family, so Beibei agreed easily.

In less than 10 minutes, Yang Xiao received a call from Brother Zhao. After explaining the situation, Yang Xiao gave the phone to the female clerk and asked her to call the manager on duty. After the manager on duty came over, he only listened to a few words and then implemented everything Yang Xiao said. Yang Xiao put away the phone and prepared to teach these little yellow cats a lesson they would never forget.

But the young clerk accompanying Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Teacher Wen, these people already know most of the layout of our script, is this still possible?"

Yang Xiao understood her concerns. To put it bluntly, this script is a one-time fast-moving consumer goods. It is enough for each player to play it once to experience the novelty. Few people come to play it a second time, and these guys have already played it once. They already know the scary points in the script, so the experience will be greatly reduced. Of course, these people don't care about this, they are just here to cause trouble.

They didn't care, and neither did Yang Xiao. After all, Yang Xiao was here to cause trouble with them. As long as they stepped through this door today, it would not be that easy to get out again.

What's the point of NPCs pretending to be ghosts? It's exciting to see Ye Xiao, Emperor Ming of the Resentment Sect, put on a costume to play with them.

But be careful and don't kill people.

Soon, the manager trotted over and reported excitedly to Yang Xiao, "Teacher Yang, they agreed."

"Okay, I'll pretend to be a ghost this time." Yang Xiao instructed.

"This..." The manager was slightly embarrassed. After all, Yang Xiao was not a professional NPC.

Yang Xiao smiled confidently, "Little brother, I'm afraid you can't find anyone in this world who is more familiar with this script than me."

"Okay." The manager reluctantly agreed. It's not that he didn't believe Yang Xiao, but the bet this time was a bit big, and it also involved face issues. The boss, Brother Zhao, treated him well, and he didn't want Brother Zhao to lose money and lose face.

The manager turned to look at the female clerk and patiently asked: "Xiaomei, you are here to lead the group this time, be energetic, everything...

Everything depends on Teacher Yang’s instructions. "

"I know." The girl nodded.

In order to hide himself, Yang Xiao asked them all to go out first, and he found a place to hide first, and then brought them in after five minutes.

"By the way, is there surveillance here?" Although Yang Xiao didn't find it, he still wanted to confirm again.

"No," the manager explained. "We were already making arrangements, but this incident caused a delay."

"very good."

When the manager and Xiaomei went out, Yang Xiao walked to the dressing table, put down his backpack, took out the opera robe and put it on. Then with a thought, the soul-tending mirror appeared in his hand, and the next second, he disappeared into the room.

Everything was going according to Yang Xiao's plan. He looked out through the mirror on the dressing table. A few minutes later,

The door was pushed open, and a few arrogant people walked in, led by Huang Mao who had blocked the door before.

Huang Mao walked arrogantly, cursed, and kicked down the trash can behind the door. "I tell you, don't try to deceive us. You won't lose even a penny of the 20,000 yuan. We are minors and are subject to the law." Protect!"

"Brother Mao, let's find that guy who's pretending to be a ghost first and see what else he can do!" The fat man, who had not yet wiped his nose dry, started cheering.

"Yes, last time he saw how good I looked and wanted to take advantage of me!" The girl wearing the plush slippers pouted.

A look of arrogance.

Three men and two women, this is the opponent's lineup. The number of players in this script was originally set to 7, which is consistent with the mission of the Menggui play. However, Yang Xiao made some changes in the plot to make it more inclusive. Whether it is 7 or 8

It can be played by one, four or five people.

Under the coaxing of the fat man, these half-grown children began to behave unruly and rummaged around the room. This made Xiaomei, who was leading the group, anxious, "Stop! You...do you still have any rules?" "

"Master Mao, I am the one who follows the rules. Is it okay for you to pretend to be ghosts and scare people?" Huang Mao was the first to squat down, half-hiding under the table, groping for the handle, and pulling open the secret door, "Get out here !”

Seeing that it was empty, Huang Mao was startled for a moment, and then he laughed with a pretentious expression: "Oh, you're so damn smart, you know how to hide it somewhere else."

"I know, it must be here!" Huang Mao rushed to the closet and pulled it open, but there was nothing inside except a few sets of clothes.

"It seems that I guessed it right, hahaha, he is hiding under the bed, I have already seen you!" Huang Mao opened the plain cloth in front of the bed, half-knelt on the ground, and looked under the bed, but under the bed Empty.

Across the mirror, Yang Xiao was embarrassed for him, but Huang Mao was quite thick-skinned despite his young age. He insisted that this time it was to target them and deliberately did not arrange for the NPC to hide. Huang Mao looked at Xiaomei who was also surprised and revealed his secret. Tsukuru smiled profoundly and suddenly pointed his finger at her, "There is only one truth, and that is you! This time you want to turn off the lights while we watch, so you can pretend to be a ghost and scare us!"

Xiaomei looked at him as if he were a fool, but she was really nervous because Xiaomei had not seen Yang Xiao. Being familiar with the layout of the room, she could not think of a place to hide a living person, and Yang Xiao could not run away. After all, there is only one road leading outside, and none of them saw Yang Xiao leave just now.

But time waits for no one, and these noisy guys didn't give her a chance to continue thinking. After changing her clothes as quickly as possible, they started clamoring to start faster.

According to the procedure, Xiaomei gave each of them a small plastic candle to use to read her script. In the script, there were two villains who needed to be found. One of them played the role of Master Feng, and the other played the role of Master Yaoni. .

Under the urging of these guys, the mission progressed surprisingly quickly. These guys were just causing trouble and didn't look for clues. They just wanted to end it quickly so that they could ask for compensation.

"The third night is about to begin. Please step back and turn off the lighting candles in your hands." Xiaomei announced in a hoarse voice.

"Hey, wait!" Huang Mao jumped up from his seat, took his mobile phone as quickly as possible, came to the door and put the mobile phone on the door handle, "I'm worried that they will lie to us and take advantage of the closed door." Light, sneak in from the outside and pretend to be a ghost, so that as soon as the door is opened, the phone will fall, and then you will have to pay for my phone! "

Seeing how smart his boss was, the fat man wiped his nose with his backhand and couldn't help but praise, "Brother Mao is awesome!"

"Okay, let's do what she said now. Don't bite her back and accuse us of not following the rules." Huang Mao was the first to extinguish the electronic candle in his hand.

The others followed suit and extinguished the candles. Xiaomei was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had no choice. Before coming in, they repeatedly ordered her to lock her mobile phone in the cabinet outside, but no one listened. She saw one of the girls. There is also a shimmer in the pocket.

"Players, please follow my previous instructions. Please come closer and join hands to form a circle. After gathering, start counting." Xiaomei gave step-by-step instructions. In fact, the NPC hiding in the dark should have appeared at this time, but Xiaomei had almost already No more hope.

Soon, this group of "veteran players" who had already played once approached each other, holding hands, and formed a circle in the darkness.

""1. "Huang Mao was the first to report the number.

"2.

"3.

4

"5.

The next second, Huang Mao and the others were slightly stunned, because they clearly felt that the sound was coming from the wrong place, and there was still someone in the team who had not spoken. According to the last experience, this person was the ghost who had sneaked in!

Huang Mao rushed over and grabbed the "ghost"'s clothes, shouting excitedly: "I caught her, I caught her, that female foreman dared to pretend to be a ghost and scare us, hahaha!"

But just for a moment, I heard a slightly trembling voice coming from a few meters behind me, "You...: What are you talking about?" It was Xiaomei's voice.

At this moment, the yellow-haired man was dumbfounded. Not only him, but also everyone else felt a burst of inexplicable fear from the bottom of their hearts. I don’t know if it was due to psychological reasons. From this moment on, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees, and it was freezing. People trembled.

Until a light came on, a trembling girl with heavy makeup took out her mobile phone and shone it with the light. The next second, they saw a female ghost in red with disheveled hair, standing hand in hand with them.

"Ah...ahhh!!"
