The flame burned on its own for a long time before it was slowly extinguished, leaving only charred marks on the stage and wooden floor.

Xuan Mu tried to walk a few steps forward, and found that they were in the staff preparation area on the side of the stage, and there was no one in the auditorium of the venue.

"Strange..." Shi Qi frowned.

"Huh?" Xuan Mu also faintly felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

"Not teleported back to the waiting area." Shi Qi recalled the previous 'ding' sound, and took out the card machine from his pocket.

The other three people were stunned when they heard the words, and then took out the card machine from their bags, only to see the small window for the original points settlement suddenly appear on the top of the screen.

[Player: Shi Qi

Score in this round: 6w

Accumulated total score: 14w

Points required for wish: 20w]

[Player: Xuan Mu

Score in this round: 6w

Accumulated total score: 12w

Points required for wish: 18w]

Shi Qi raised his hand and clicked the 'Continue' button on the screen, and the settlement window was covered by a new tab that popped up, which said - "A new round of the game is about to start".

"Start directly?" Xuan Mu turned to look at Shi Qi.

"It should be," Shi Qi speculated, "it may be because we are faster than the average clearance time, so we entered the same bonus level as the second round of the game."

Ling Luo leaned forward to look at the screen of the two-person card machine, and asked, "Did you buy double?"

"Ah," Xuan Mu nodded, and inadvertently caught sight of the words 'score in this game: 24w' on Ling Luo's screen, "...??"

Is this score real...? ?

"I bought three double points." Ling Luo skillfully opened the window for purchasing services, and double-clicked on the option of double points.

Xuan Mu: "...Can it still be like this?"

Now their points are only 6 points away from realizing their wishes. According to the rules of the previous games, they can get about 3 points per game without violating the rules... If you buy a few more double points, it is estimated that they will be able to pass the customs and leave soon. Game, and Shi Qi back to the real world, right?

Thinking of this, Xuan Mu also opened the interface for purchasing services.

However, he quickly remembered the game mechanism that he talked about a few days ago, sighed slightly, turned his head and looked at Qi at the same time.

Shi Qi thought for a while, then nodded, and clicked twice on the option of double points.

"Tired?" he asked softly.

"It's okay," Xuan Mu shook his head, "I'm just a little hungry."

The clearance process of the escape room was not complicated, and they were not deliberately made things difficult, so everyone did not consume too much physical strength and energy... Besides, it was only [-] points away.

Everyone raised their hands and touched the touch screen one after another, and began to read the rules of the next game.

[Theme of this game: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Customs clearance reward: double points.

Clearance conditions: Team players collect supplies in the ever-shrinking safe zone, and survive to the end to pass the level. 】

Xuan Mu: "...???"

"Eat chicken?" Li Kuangyu was stunned.

[Additional rules: The map has been pushed to the player's card machine, and the player's blood bar will enter a state of suspended animation. If one person in the team survives to the end, the whole team will pass the level. 】

Shi Qi glanced at the names and blood bars of the four people on the upper left of the screen, found the 'map' icon, and clicked to expand the game map.

The location of the people happened to be the abandoned amusement park in Kyoto in the third game. It only occupied a little bit of the lower right corner of the map. The big red circle covered most of the map area, and the 24-hour countdown time was marked beside it.

"This map is a bit big..." Xuan Mu blinked, "...does it really take a few months and a half to play?"

Why set up such a flag in the first place...

"No need," Shi Qi pointed to the countdown time on the screen, "This should be the time when the safe zone shrinks. It will be refreshed every 24 hours. According to the size of the map, it will take at most half a month to clear the level."

He paused, and added: "And there is a high probability that there will be vehicles such as motorcycles and cars on the map, so we shouldn't need to walk dozens of kilometers on foot."

"Oh..." Xuan Mu let out a breath.

Shi Qi lowered his eyes and then studied the map in the card player, judging the total area of ​​the map based on the size of the map in the previous third game.

"Although I don't think it's good to interrupt you at this time..." Li Kuangyu's voice came from the ears of the two of them suddenly, "What are you... I wanted to ask just now."

Xuan Mu heard the reputation and looked over, only to see that Li Kuangyu seemed to have noticed the small jar in Shi Qi's hand, and leaned forward to see the words on the label clearly.

"The props I picked up on the road." Shi Qi immediately stuffed the tube back into his pocket, and said calmly.

"Oh..." Li Kuangyu glanced at him suspiciously, "I seem to have seen this thing somewhere..."

Shi Qi ignored him, raised his hand to look at the time, and changed the subject without changing his face: "I have to find a place to settle down tonight, let's go to the dormitory building first, maybe the dining hall still serves dinner."

"Oh, good." Li Kuangyu nodded in agreement, and Ling Luo looked at Shi Qi with an expression of "an old man on the subway looking at his phone".

Shi Qi said "hmm", and walked towards the circus paradise. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xuan Mu covering his stomach with his hand: "Why don't you eat something to pad your stomach first?"

"I don't want to eat cookies anymore," Xuan Mu asked him, "Is there any more lollipops?"

Shi Qi nodded, took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it and handed it to Xuan Mu.

The blueberry flavor immediately spread from his mouth, and at the same time, Xuan Mu seemed to think of something, and asked vaguely: "By the way... where is the thing that fell just now?"

Shi Qi came back to his senses: "You almost forgot if you didn't say it."

He took out the small object he had just picked up—it seemed to be a fragment of a stone carving engraved with a star symbol.

He took out the fragments of the sword and stone carvings that he had picked up from the haunted house earlier, thought for a while, and said firmly, "There are still two kinds of stone carving fragments that have not been collected."

"Ah?" Xuan Mu was stunned, "Why?"

Shi Qi explained: "There are two types of cards in the Tarot, one is called the Major Arcana, and the other is called the Minor Arcana. There are four suits in the Minor Arcana, namely 'Sword', 'Penta,' 'Scepter,' and 'Holy Grail.'"

He shook the star-patterned stone fragments in his hand: "This should represent 'star coins'."

Xuan Mu immediately understood: "The 'Jack' who chased us in the haunted house before fell into the magma, and the clown sawed off the doctor's limbs just now, and gave us the stone carving fragments of the sword and the penny."

"Jack designed to make 'Xia Yue' get lost, and the doctor did human experiments on 'Xia Yue'," Shi Qi said, "So I guess... it should be to get other stone carving fragments from the people who hurt her .”

Shi Qi nodded.

Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo were completely dumbfounded.

"According to the contents of the diary, the next step is to find the clown and that Ali," Xuan Mu turned his head to look at the tightly closed bronze door, and frowned, "Should we go back now?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "The new map of the game is refreshed, and the clown is probably no longer in the original place."

Although I have obtained some information from Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo in the film, it is not comprehensive.After a long time, Li Kuangyu finally couldn't bear to interrupt them: "No... wait... can you explain to me what happened?"

Xuan Mu paused for a moment before he noticed the two people beside him. After thinking for a while, he handed over the notebook in the canvas bag.

Li Kuangyu opened the notebook clearly.

Seeing Li Kuangyu's frown getting tighter, Xuan Mu couldn't help but tsk, pulled his notebook back, and explained the current situation to him quickly and simply.

"This fragment of the stone carving should be considered a breakthrough." Shi Qi took out his card machine and studied the map. "Later, stop by the haunted house and aquarium to search for equipment. You can search for whatever you want. The area is too large to be exhausted."

Everyone nodded.

After clarifying the goal of customs clearance, everyone didn't waste any time and followed Shi Qi out of the circus paradise.

Xuan Mu raised his hand to push open the gate of the Circus Paradise, and was immediately shivered by the strong wind blowing in front of him, only then did he realize that there was light snow falling in the sky outside.

"It's snowing..." He glanced at the thick layer of snow on the ground, and immediately reacted, turning his head to look at Shi Qi, "It means... we have to go on foot?"

If the weather conditions are too bad, even if you can find transportation, you may not be able to drive on the road.

"Not necessarily," Shi Qi's face turned serious, "Let's go first, one step is one step."

Xuan Mu nodded, put on the hat of the sweater, and everyone walked forward against the wind and snow.

"Can you really play with guns?" Li Kuangyu asked excitedly, "I haven't touched a real gun yet."

"Let's avoid the battle in the early stage." Shi Qi glanced at the word "remaining 100 people" on the upper right of the card machine, "don't make a big noise."

"Are they all real players?" Xuan Mu felt a little apprehensive.

Although the word "fake death" is used in the rules, no one knows if he will happen to knock out the last player in the team, and Xuan Mu is afraid that he will not be able to shoot that hand.

Compared with the previous games, this one was much crueler, and Xuan Mu felt a little uneasy.

"There may also be NPCs mixed in." Shi Qi quickly moved into the haunted house closest to the circus park, turned to look at Li Kuangyu, "Let's search in two teams, Xuan Mu and I, let Ling Luo take the lead." Watching you, gather at the door in 10 minutes."

Li Kuangyu: "Okay."

Shi Qi patted the snow on his body, and walked forward with Xuan Mu.I saw some armor and helmets scattered on the ground along the road, most of which were too broken to be used any longer. The two picked among them for a while, and only picked out a body armor and helmet that were probably new.

"Give this to Ling Luo later?" Xuan Mu suggested, "The three of us have much better physical strength than her, and we can hide faster than her when encountering danger."

"Well," Shi Qi nodded, then turned to look at him, "Aren't you tired?"

"...Okay, a little bit," Xuan Mu sighed, "I have to hold on even if I'm tired."

"Go to rest early after eating," Shi Qi said, "I haven't had a good rest all the time."

Although the player was given a few days to rest in the waiting area, the final goal and mission were clearly there, and the psychological pressure made people a little breathless.

Now he only prays that the game will go smoothly and nothing major will happen.

"Actually, it's okay," Xuan Mu said with a light smile, "Eat well, sleep well, and your partner is by your side, consummation."
