If you refuse a marriage proposal from a thriller NPC, you will die

It seemed that the few of them were private detectives, and the police couldn't handle such strange things. The manager had no choice but to find another way.

"A total of eight gentlemen, are you all here?" The manager glanced around, patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, and gestured to them, "Please follow me, the lounge has been prepared for a few of you." .”

A few of them were old players, and they walked forward without any objection.

In the beginning of the game, there is generally no danger. Instead, it is the time period with the most intensive clues. If you are not careful, you may miss the clearance information.

When they followed the manager into the theater, the theater hall was full of seats, talking, chatting, and chatting with actors, and the whole hall showed a happy atmosphere.

People kept pouring in, and the staff distributing leaflets at the door were in a hurry.Everything is normal.

Jiang Chu passed the staff, and turned around after a few steps: "Can I have a copy?"

It was a woman who was handing out the leaflets. Hearing this, she nodded and handed him a leaflet.

Her hands were covered in the sleeves, her nails were painted on her fingers, and her skin was white against the ground, but a small piece of skin hidden between the sleeves was scorched black, like a corpse that had been burned by fire.

After Jiang Chu received the colorful leaflets, she quickly withdrew her hands and distributed them to the next guest.

Xu Xing was nearby, just in time to see this scene, put his hands in his pockets and said, "It was burned to death."

Jiang Chu: "Normal opening."

Presumably there is no one alive in the theater, except the players.

Xu Xing opened a bubble gum, threw it into his mouth and chewed it: "The task is to help the manager find the ghost. The manager said that the cause of the actor's accident was the ghost."

Han Zimian was right in front of the two of them, and he turned his head when he heard the words: "I will answer this question."

"The theater was finally set on fire by ghosts, and all the guests and actors did not escape."

Xu Xing: "Unfortunately, you got this question wrong."

Han Zimian was very dissatisfied: "Why?"

Xu Xing didn't bother to talk to him, so Jiang Chu explained: "If it was ghosts who set fire to the theater in the end, then the prerequisite is that 'the player who entered the game did not complete the task'."

"In other words, the game will definitely be cleared, so the ghost will be found by private detectives in the end. The moment it is found, the game is over, and there is no condition for subsequent arson."

Han Zimian approved of him, after all what he said made sense.

Xu Xing said slowly: "I just entered the game now, don't draw conclusions so early, we haven't even seen the actor yet."

Han Zimian felt that he was squeezed out by them, and ran away sadly.

Jiang Chu began to carefully read the flyer in his hand.

The front is covered with strange colors with oil paintings, and the four characters of "Phantom Theater" can be vaguely recognized. The strangest thing is the portraits of the characters painted on it, which seem to be deliberately ugly. The facial features do not form a proportion, which is reminiscent of abstraction A work of art by a master.

To understand this painting, not only rely on eyesight, but also rely on imagination.

He could only make out the three princesses, and the male actors were a mess. He really didn't know their occupations, probably because the actresses' costumes were more ornate and exaggerated, so they were easy to identify.

Moreover, their standing next to each other is very interesting, reminding Jiang Chu of a very popular picture on the Internet.

It's probably a girl walking with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's brother. The girl is leaning on her boyfriend's arms, but holding her brother with her hands behind her back.Not only the relationship is complicated, but also the amount of information is huge.

"There are three operas." Xu Xing cast a glance and shook his head, "I'm in trouble."

The names of the three operas are "Durandor", "The Donkey's Skin Princess" and "Othello".If they are not allowed to act in a play, or let them watch a play, as for what will happen after the play, it is unknown.

However, nothing can be seen from the name alone.

Jiang Chu turned it over and saw the cast list on the back.He looked down one by one, looking for a certain name purposefully.

No name he guessed.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling, but he seemed a little disappointed.

Although Xu Xing and him only had contact with each other for a game before, they were discussing the topic very tacitly at this time.

Both of them had a well-known question in their hearts.

Before entering the lounge, Xu Xing stopped him: "I don't think there will be time after the opera starts. I have a question to ask you."

"Ask first." Jiang Chu folded the leaflet and put it in his pocket.

It was at this moment that a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

Why doesn't he have a name in the cast, could it be because...he's that theater ghost?

When he realized that he was actively looking for that person, he was taken aback. He quickly calmed down and focused on what Xu Xing said.

"Have you ever dreamed that you have entered... the game?" Xu Xing said after thinking about it, "It doesn't mean entering the game as an ordinary player, but becoming a member of it."

"No, I never dreamed of it," he replied.

There is a sentence he didn't say, he himself has rarely entered the game.

Xu Xing frowned, chewing the bubble gum vigorously while she was thinking, spit out a bubble silently, and then exploded.

"You must have a similar situation to me." Xu Xing was sure, "It's just that you haven't realized it yet."

"Let me explain it clearly. If you can think of it a little bit, it may be more helpful to me."

She touched her nose: "That's right, I've actually been electrocuted before."

Jiang Chu: "..."

Xu Xing stopped him: "Don't rush to complain, this is a prerequisite that must be explained." Although she herself felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

She explained that she had been electrocuted, and her consciousness was inexplicably connected to the game helmet, and then had a long dream. After waking up from the dream, her time in reality was less than 3 minutes.

However, it was this accident that made her suddenly discover that she actually had an image in the "Noah" game.

She couldn't help complaining: "It's okay if it's an ordinary image, but it's such an ugly aquatic creature, why not give me a knife to stab yourself to death."

Jiang Chu: "I thought you didn't know about it." And is your focus actually on image?

Xu Xing scratched his head: "So my purpose is to make me a little more beautiful, or simply, to eliminate this image directly, it looks bad."

Jiang Chu shook his head: "I don't understand you girls very well."

Xu Xing also shook his head: "You don't understand, do you know why I live broadcast with a mask? Because in the future, when my popularity reaches a certain level, I can take off my vest, and I will definitely be on the trending list when the time comes, and I'm not ugly."

"By the way, I can get rid of this opponent surnamed Han." She said, waving her fingers, "As long as I am hotter than him, if he binds me again, he will take my heat."

Jiang Chu was waiting for a conspiracy, but he finally got such a down-to-earth explanation.

Xu Xing sighed, and touched his face: "However, there is already an NPC using my face, and it has been exposed in public places. You are not angry."

Jiang Chu was stunned for a long time, and then he found what he wanted to say: "Then why did you come to me?"

"Because the NPC showed an unexpected preference for you, I think you have the same situation as me." Xu Xing said, "I can't find anyone to discuss this kind of thing, so I want to ask about your situation."

Jiang Chu said in a low voice: "Dream..."

Maybe he really does know the answer.

The chat between the two was interrupted by the manager.

"Aren't you going in?" He questioned.

Jiang Chu said in a low voice, "If you also go to the central tower, I can introduce someone to you", and then walked to the lounge while dealing with the manager.

It is said to be a lounge, but it is actually a few separate seats for watching the theater, which are more spacious than ordinary seats.

"Where do you actors usually rest?" Jiang Chu asked.

The manager replied with a smile: "Backstage or in a separate dressing room."

Jiang Chu: "Can I meet them?"

The manager, who was still easy to talk to just now, suddenly had a weird expression: "No way."

Jiang Chu: "Why? If I don't go to meet them, how can I get more clues?"

The manager's attitude was weird, he was vague and couldn't explain why: "In short...you enjoy our opera first...don't worry..."

This rhetoric is different from when they first entered the game.

The manager was eagerly looking forward to their arrival a few minutes ago, why did he tell him not to worry a few minutes later?

He was taken to an independent lounge. From here, it happened to be facing the big stage, and he could see the scene on the stage clearly.

The other players are also in the lounge, not far from each other.

Only eight of the top ten came to the game.Several anchors turned on the live broadcast one after another, saying that they were having a friendly exchange.

While several people were getting ready, the curtain on the stage had been slowly drawn back.

The radiant young host stood in the center of the stage, raised the microphone and began to read a lengthy welcome speech.

The longer the welcome speech, the easier it is to arouse the appetite of the audience, but it is too long, as if deliberately delaying time.

Jiang Chu heard a player next to him complain: "It's on par with the leader's speech."

The host was spitting, excited about the show tonight, and almost danced: "Thank you for coming to the show today. Everyone is very enthusiastic. It seems that they have heard the rumors about our Phantom of the Theater."

When he mentioned the key words, the players immediately became serious and listened carefully to the stinky and long speech.

However, the host only said one sentence and did not continue: "We have prepared three operas for all distinguished guests, which represent the highest level of our theater and will definitely make everyone an unforgettable night!"

Player: It is very unforgettable, everyone was burned to death together.

Of course the audience is unaware of what happened next, and they nestle in their seats contentedly, waiting for the opera to begin.

"Of course, we have a few requirements, and I hope everyone can abide by them!" He stopped dancing, looked at his speech, and read aloud:

"One, please turn your electronic equipment to mute! Any camera behavior is prohibited!"

"Second, please respect every actor's performance! Don't leave the stage until the end of the performance~ Of course, going to the bathroom after the performance is allowed, as long as you can return to your seat before the next performance begins. "

"Third, please don't refuse the precious opportunity to interact with the actors and you."

He bowed to the audience on the stage, blurted out the words of praise, and expressed his thanks to the audience who enjoyed the opera tonight.

Players watched everything that happened in the field in the independent lounge.

When the host said the three-point rule, he was obviously speaking to the players.Although he and the manager are both NPCs, there are differences.The manager has a story at first glance, while the host is just a standard template NPC, whose role is to prompt the rules and act as an irrelevant role.

Not all audiences have no objection to these three rules, at least the second one seems very abnormal, why can't they leave their seats in the middle of the performance?How about going to the bathroom?

So one spectator didn't believe in evil, stood up cursing, and walked towards the door while saying that he wanted a refund.

However, before he could walk out of the gate, his whole body burst into flames, and the flames engulfed him in an instant.

He screamed and was burned to a pile of ashes.

The hints of the game are really simple and rude, for fear that the players may not understand them properly.

The players felt sorry for each other, and while expressing their emotion, they didn't dare to move.

After the opera started, Jiang Chu found that there was an extra script at hand, so he picked it up and flipped through it.

The script happened to be the storyline of Durandor being played out on stage.

A princess named Durando set three riddles for revenge. If someone can answer three questions correctly, she will marry this lucky person.

If one answer is wrong, the unfortunate man will be executed by the princess.

At this point the protagonist emerges from the darkness.

The actor who played the princess wore bright red lipstick and showed a bloody smile to the audience.
