I'm delivering food in an escape game

Go down the stairs and into the bar.

Fan Wan took a closer look, and it was indeed the bar where the younger brother and Zhou Taixi had 1V1 just now.

The same furnishings, the same light and shadow, familiar background music.

And the bartender with the blond beard.

The difference is that at the moment, the small bar is full of people, scattered in various locations, full of unfamiliar faces, but none of these people seem to be good at it, and they should not be NPCs in the game.

"Welcome to Chicago." The bartender said at this moment, "Welcome all the top escape players to the game. Tonight must be a wonderful and exciting night. And you are the protagonists of this night. "

"There is no need for an opening statement. We are all old players. Let's introduce the background of the story and the rules of the game as soon as possible." An uncle dressed like an old-fashioned British gentleman said.

The little brother reminded Fan Wan: "It seems to be a high-end game, and they are all top players."

Fan Wan glanced around, and found that besides him, his little brother and the NPC bartender, there were 7 other players. These players were not like the ones he had seen before, who were newcomers, didn't know the environment, screamed, and were restless. The demeanor, but everyone is calm and calm, can't wait, as if they are all masters who have seen the world.

For some reason, Fan Wan was affected by the atmosphere and became a little excited.

The tempo was fast and he was not allowed to be distracted. The little brother patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to pay attention to the bartender's speech, and the game was about to begin.

At this moment, from the back door of the bar, someone pushed the door in, and a familiar voice came: "Sorry everyone, I was delayed for a while, did I just catch up?"

This voice was as uncomfortable as a disgusting fly, that's right, it was Zhou Taixi.

Fan Wan turned his head and saw that Zhou Taixi had changed into a pink suit jacket, a tie of the same color, and his hair was neatly combed back, which made his appearance a lot more mature, as if he had recovered from the disastrous one-on-one fight with his younger brother just now. Looking radiant.

After discovering Fan Wan, he smiled playfully. The little brother rescued him, and the two entered the same game smoothly, and he showed an expression of sympathy.

Fan Wan spat in her heart, feeling overwhelmed.

"Why, don't you welcome me to participate?" Seeing the way Fan Wan looked at him, Zhou Taixi grinned provocatively.

"Isn't the lesson just now enough?" Fan Wan didn't show weakness, and replied, "Just now you just lost face, I'm afraid you're going to lose your life this time."

"This is a high-level game, unlike a 1v1 game, where there are loopholes for you to forcefully escape." The little brother also snorted coldly and said.

When it came to breaking the agreement and escaping, Zhou Taixi didn't feel the slightest sense of shame, but instead smacked his lips: "I just knew it was a high-level bureau, so I want to clean up my mistakes just now and get rid of you two at once."

Zhou Taixi did not shy away from his sinister intentions.

"You're really thick-skinned." Fan Wan clicked his tongue.

"Have you finished talking? If you have any hatred to solve in the game, don't waste our game time." At this time, a cruel woman with dyed red hair and glasses said.

"That's right, let's see it in the game. If you have the ability to kill me in the game, I'll be convinced." Zhou Taixi walked to the bar in a strange mood, raised a glass of cocktail, and gestured towards Fan Wan and his brother. Take a sip, then gulp it down.

The bartender waited until they finally stopped, and said seriously: "Everyone, please focus on me, I will explain the background and rules of the game to you."

A group of people scattered around the bartender, kept quiet, and waited for the bartender to explain.

"Let me talk about the background of the game first. You can also look at a newspaper next to you. There is a piece of news on it."

It is also the background story drawn from the newspaper:

In Chicago in 1978, there were many serial murder cases in one year, and a total of 5 victims died.

Before each murder, the serial killer will use various methods to announce the name of the murderer to the society in advance, which is just a name.However, since there are many people with the same name in the city, it is impossible to identify the specific victim.

Even with such arrogance, the murderer still succeeds every time.

The murderer's method of killing is cruel. The scene of the crime is deliberately manipulated into various horrific forms, and some information is deliberately left at the scene of the crime. It is simply an open provocation with the police.

Later, the police announced that during a raid on the killer's hideaway, the killer blew up the apartment, killing a total of four people including the killer in the apartment.

Although the murderer has never appeared since then, the police have not been able to disclose who among the four people who died in the apartment explosion was the murderer.

Public opinion has speculated that the police only found out where the murderer lived, but they didn't know who the real murderer was.So who is this murderer, the police have not really been able to solve the case.

Therefore, this murderer killed 8 people in total, but no one really discovered his identity. The family and friends of the 4 people who died in the apartment bombing did not recognize them as murderers, and their social status did not change. Friends and relatives paid homage to them as victims, and none of them left dishonorable records because they were suspected murderers.

Therefore, in this sense, although the murderer is dead, he is still at large.

After the bartender finished explaining the background story, some people asked questions on the spot.

"The background story is too simple. It didn't explain who the five murderers were, and what information was left at the scene. What happened to the apartment where the explosion happened at the end, and the identities of the four people who died were not revealed."

"These need to be analyzed and identified in the game." The bartender explained the problem, and then said, "After the game starts, everyone will start to explore from the apartment after the explosion, which is also the starting point of the game player. And the whole game The scene is the whole city of Chicago in the 80s."

"Understood, please start explaining the rules of the game." A player said.

After everyone understood, the bartender began to explain the rules of the game, which were announced as follows:

There are a total of 5 groups of 10 players on the scene, two people in one group, any person in the same group dies, and the other dies at the same time.

Two people in the same group are divided into "name bearer" and "assistant" in the game.

The "name holder" has a nameplate representing the name of the group. The nameplate can only be held by the name holder, and non-name holders cannot touch the nameplate.Moreover, only one nameplate can be held at a time, and "name bearers" who do not hold any nameplate will be eliminated immediately within 1 minute.

"Assistants" can own weapons in the game. The initial weapons are selected in order, and each person holds one, and the name holder cannot hold weapons.At the same time, the assistant must protect the lives of himself and the name bearer.

Once the identities of "name bearer" and "assistant" are selected, the identities cannot be exchanged with each other in subsequent games.

This game does not prohibit violent killing, but you can only use the weapons in the game to kill, that is, only the assistant can kill.

It is worth noting that the player's off-field attribute equipment can only enhance killing and protection, and no equipment against the rules of the game can be used in this game.

Hearing this, Fan Wan was a little relieved, these people in front of him were all high-flyers, and they probably also had a lot of powerful equipment on them, especially Zhou Taixi.But with this rule, these people must fully abide by the rules of the game, but the force value can be increased, but Fan Wan is not too worried, after all, there is a little brother who is a threat, and it is the weapon itself.

The bartender speaks very slowly and guarantees a full explanation:

There is a serial killer in the city of this game, who will kill one person every hour. At the first minute of every hour, the system will announce the name of the murdered person on the full screen, and after 1 minutes, the killer will be sent to the person with this name by the system. Near the player with the nameplate, kill the name bearer while crushing the nameplate.

Note that the killer is invincible, no matter how powerful the assister is, he cannot kill the killer.

During these 30 minutes, if the name-holder finds that the next forewarned kill is the nameplate he owns, he must use an assistant to kill or snatch the nameplates of other name-holder players to obtain the identity of the opponent.

Everyone's nameplate has a positioning system. In the box next to each player, a smart contact lens is distributed. Wearing it in one eye, it can transmit the map and positioning display on the retina. Everyone can see 5 nameplates The location in the city, but the specific name on the nameplate cannot be displayed.

The serial killer will kill 5 times before dawn, so if you play the game normally, even if you survive to the end through looting or good luck, you still cannot escape death.

The surviving players must find the murderer's identity information and solve the puzzles of the background story at the scene of the murderer's serial killings, that is, the scene where the players were killed in the previous rounds. After the murderer kills, he has 30 minutes to check the killing scene After 30 minutes, the name of the person who will be killed in the next hour will be announced. It is best to leave before this to avoid being robbed of the nameplate.

To pass the level, the player must answer a question:

Which of the 4 people who died in the apartment bombing in the background story is the killer?

Each holder can have a chance to answer the question once. If the answer is correct, the teammate can act as the assistant to break the invincibility of the killer. The assistant can kill the killer. If the answer is wrong, he will die immediately.

The killer is killed, the game ends, and all surviving players escape successfully.

Speaking of this, the bartender paused to give everyone a little time to familiarize themselves with the rules.

After Fan Wan listened to it, she thought about it. The rules seemed complicated, but in fact there was only one core content. While escaping from the murderer, she solved the mystery of the murderer's identity.And for the excitement of the game, in order to avoid being killed by the killer, players need to snatch other people's nameplates to change their identities when their own nameplates are announced.

At first glance, this is the core gameplay of the game.

It is indeed a high-level bureau, with top-notch strength, skills, wisdom, and bloodshed.

"I have a question," the ruthless red-haired woman in glasses asked at this time, "are the five names on the five nameplates the five people killed by the serial killer in 5?"

"That's right, exactly." The bartender nodded.

"Then the order of killing back then is the same as that of the killers when everyone is playing games today?" She continued.

"It's the same, but first of all, the nameplates you get are determined by lottery, which means that the initial nameplates are random. Secondly, the background story does not tell you the order of death of the victims that year, so you can't use the names to judge the murderer in advance. Killing order." Faced with the professional questions of professional players, it seems that the bartender can also give professional answers, and he is worthy of being an NPC in the top game.

"Please put on your contact lenses, and use the interactive screen to determine your team partner." After the bartender finished speaking, everyone put on their glasses one after another.

"These contact lenses don't have a prescription," the red-haired woman with glasses looked at her in disgust, "I don't want to take off my glasses."

Fan Wan and the younger brother also put on their glasses, and sure enough, a virtual screen appeared in front of them, very clear.

Needless to say, the two of them must have chosen to form a team.

At the same time, you can also see the team formation of each player on the screen. For everyone to understand clearly, the player's avatar is displayed on the screen as a group, which is clear at a glance.

Zhou Taixi's partner was a bodyguard in black. After all, he was the little prince of the Infinite Abyss Group. It seemed that he had been arranged in advance.However, this man in black wore sunglasses and a black suit all his life. He was tall and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He looked like a ruthless man. He was estimated to be quite top-notch in all aspects, and his level might be far above that of Zhou Taixi.

Then the red-haired woman with glasses and the gentleman man are in a group, a young man with yellow hair is in a group with an uncle with a scar on his face, and there is another group, a middle-aged couple with ordinary looks and not very good. say.

"All groups, please come and get the nameplate first." The bartender took out an iron box with a hole that could only be inserted into one hand.

"Do you need to identify the name bearer now?" someone asked.

"Yes, the person who comes to draw lots will be registered as the name holder, and the other person will become the assistant, and will have the right to choose weapons later."

Fan Wan glanced at the little brother, who nodded at him and said, "I will protect you, you will be the bearer, and I will be the assistant."
