Master Swindler

Seeing that Lu Qingjia insisted on participating in the interview in a mess, the staff's expression changed, and they were about to persuade him, but the other party had already opened the door to the interview office.

Lu Qingjia's next memory was also a bit vague. She only remembered that there seemed to be more than one person in the interview room, but the specific memory was not sure.

In the backlight of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, the other party's appearance was dazzling and unclear. I can only recall that the other party was quite displeased when he saw his muddy body, but he still gave him a 'job opportunity'.

He also hinted that this was the workload of a team, which is why Lu Qingjia left clues for himself the first day, prompting him to return to the city where the train started.

As for the identity of the mysterious interviewer, Lu Qingjia was naturally curious. At that time, he left something around the interviewer in a very secret way.

But when I wanted to sense it, there was no movement. Presumably the interviewer was not an ordinary NPC.

At least for the player's wrist and ability, he has a calm way to deal with it.

These are not important for the time being, this dungeon is too restrictive, and it is not easy to confirm too many based on this clue.

However, Lu Qingjia has at least determined the timing and location of the first refresh point and the second refresh point.

The first refresh point is undoubtedly the moment when the player just entered the game. At that time, the player did not have any traces of activities in the dungeon world. If you find anything wrong, think that you have just entered the game.

What's more poisonous is that this dungeon blocks the player's induction, and even has mental induction to deliberately ignore the particularity of the surrounding players. If there is no player who behaves particularly differently, or has strong mental skills and finds something wrong, it is difficult to start from the step-by-step fast-paced During the mission, it was discovered that there were so many players around.

What's more, at the beginning, it hinted that the players were against each other, so no matter whether it was a gold-fishing player or an ordinary player, before the enemy was revealed, it was naturally impossible to take the initiative to expose themselves, and strive to be low-key and ordinary.

Triple guarantee, just the first step is full of traps, no wonder so many hundreds of people can't even get out of the station at the first level.

The refreshing point of the second session is in the interview office.

If Lu Qingjia followed the advice of the staff, sorted out his state, and erased the traces of his first pass, it would be impossible to find the truth so efficiently the next day and come back here.

The bigger possibility is that after confirming the status quo, the time for the internship report has passed, and the factory does not accept people, so it will be a waste of a day.

This is a waste of a day. Players like Lu Qingjia who have passed the first level, not to mention, are still stuck in the first level, will definitely waste another chance to buy a ticket tomorrow.

Then the closer the number of times the ticket is cleared, dragging it back and forth twice, the player forgets his identity, becomes an NPC here and is always trapped in the game, and their team is almost over.

However, for an intermediate dungeon, such strict and trap-laden rules cannot leave room for players.

Therefore, Lu Qingjia concluded that the refresh point and time must be clearly reminded, when he heard the reminder from the staff and the similar broadcast synchronously from the train over there.

At that time, Lu Qingjia was almost [-]% sure that the interview office was the second refresh point.

So he kept as many traces of his game as possible.

Now because the logic has been clarified, the masked state of amnesia has lost its meaning, so the memory can be retrieved directly. ,

According to Lu Qingjia's guess, once the memory is unlocked, it should not be blocked again, otherwise the rules will be unfair.

But just in case, you still have to make some preparations.

Several people finished their breakfast and came to the workplace while sorting out the current situation.

The place of work is a wax figure making workshop. Several people arrived ten minutes earlier, and then found that it was said to be a factory, but it was actually more like a family workshop.

The wax museum is located in the outskirts of the city, surrounded by weeds, thorns and lack of care.

The castle has the charm of the European Middle Ages. With the sudden cloudy weather at the moment, it gives the player a sense of familiarity with returning to the usual horror dungeon.

Before knocking on the door, a fierce quarrel came from inside, men's roars, women's screams, and the unbearable voices of teenagers.

But before he could hear the content clearly, the door was suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door was a thin old woman with a mean face, her eyes were so shrewd that it seemed strange, and her eyes fell on several players.

Rao, everyone here can poke an ordinary old woman to death with one finger, but the gaze of the other party still makes everyone feel like there are bugs crawling on them.

On the other hand, Lu Qingjia looked calm, smiled and said, "Is this the Jin family wax figure factory? We are the employees who joined the job today. I think you have received the notice of entry."

The old woman didn't talk to her, instead she showed a strange smile and said to the people behind her, "Okay, stop arguing, the worker has come to the door, and started to work."

There were four people in the hall behind her, a balding middle-aged man, a slender woman with a haggard and nervous look, and two teenage children.

A man and a woman, the woman is older, she winked at Lu Qingjia when she saw Lu Qingjia, but the boy has nothing to do with it, and his whole head is going to get into his mobile phone, which is not very popular nowadays. Mobile games.

The man welcomed several players in, looked at everyone critically, and then sighed: "Can't the company introduce some useful people?"

As he said that, he pinched Lu Qingjia's arm again, and looked at his face: "You seem to be useful, but the others just—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the new employee looking at him with a smile on his face: "Yes, the boss is also very useful."

That look was like weighing pork, the owner of the wax museum trembled inexplicably, but felt that he seemed to be thinking too much.

After all here-

The boss laughed and said, "Let me introduce, this wax figure factory is my family's ancestral property, and now it is family-run."

"However, there are fewer young people who can calm down and sharpen their skills. Generally, employees will leave after a short stay, either because they lack ability or understanding, so they have been entrusting intermediary companies to recruit new ones for a long time."

"I hope you can persist in completing the task."

"Then what is our task today?" Lu Qingjia asked.

"Oh, it's like this." The boss led everyone into the production workshop: "The richest man in the city is having a banquet tonight, and he needs six body wax figures as decorations, and the delivery time is four o'clock in the afternoon."

"If the task is completed during this period, it will be considered as the completion of the internship task."

Lu Qingjia raised his eyebrows and asked, "With all due respect, if a body wax figure is to be well-made, it will take a long time, and it will be delivered in five and a half hours. What is your current progress—?"

"I just confirmed the model." The boss said boldly, as if he didn't realize that this task was to make things difficult for others.

The other party even went on to say: "This is a big customer. The wax figure you make must be lifelike, and it is hard to tell whether it is real or fake, otherwise it will smash our brand."

Then he gave the data and drawings of the model to Lu Qingjia and the others: "Work hard."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave the workshop, but before he stepped out the door, he heard a loud noise from behind.

The boss's expression changed, and he turned around quickly, only to find that a wax figure had fallen down and was smashed to pieces, with half of the head remaining.

After spinning on the ground for a few weeks, it landed at Lu Qingjia's feet, and his eyes were directed at him, which was quite penetrating.

The boss was suddenly furious: "Who broke it?"

Lu Qingjia smashed the half of the head of the wax figure beside her feet, raised her hand, and said embarrassedly: "It's me!"

Although the tone of his mouth was modest and apologetic, his actions didn't reflect the slightest bit of introspection, as if he had deliberately broken it before.

Lu Qingjia said with a smile: "I saw that its posture was a bit strange. When it turned around, it seemed to be about to grab my neck. I am a sensitive person, and I was in instinctive self-defense, so I waved it down."

"But it should be fine, right? After all, it's just a failed product that couldn't even be produced in the workshop."

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the workshop seemed to drop a few degrees.

The boss said with an ugly face: "No, every work is my painstaking effort. Although some of the works presented are not satisfactory due to qualifications, I cherish them equally."

Lu Qingjia laughed: "That's really embarrassing, but what should we do now?"

"Things are broken, are you going to fire me?"

The boss didn't even have time to get angry, so he was blocked here by Lu Qingjia. He looked at him bitterly for a long time, and then said, "Forget it, you're lucky, you just sent someone today."

"As long as you complete the task within the specified time, I will not hold you accountable."

When he said that, Lu Qingjia became more hypocritical, and said ashamedly: "But I've been clumsy since I came here, am I not suitable for this job?"

"If you stay here, I'm afraid it will not only affect your delivery schedule, but also cause more trouble. I'd better go."

"No!" The boss shouted quickly, and then realized that his attitude should not be so urgent, so he said with a straight face: "You have to think clearly, the job is hard to come by."

"If you leave here, if you want to find a new job, you have to go back to the agency. Once you leave, the other people will definitely not be able to complete the task. Think about whether you want to drag everyone down?"

The other five players were a little anxious after hearing this. Even if some people knew that Lu Qingjia was probably putting on a show at the moment, they were afraid that he would really play it off.

After all, Lu Qingjia is already in the second stage at the moment, and the advantage is obvious. They are only in the first stage. If the task is not completed, it is estimated that they will wake up tomorrow and go to the station again.

If Lu Qingjia is a bit darker and only uses them to get the next round of missions today, and doesn't want to share the results with everyone, then now that the missions have been obtained, he can completely destroy the progress of the missions, come here tomorrow by himself, and completely kill all of them. Get left behind.

If the following tasks can be done in the same way, I am afraid that the other party has completed the task, and they still think in a daze that they have just entered the game and are going to take that train that is impossible to reach every day.

However, Lu Qingjia said next: "Really? It turns out that you can get a job again just by going back to the agency? But this time the job must be completed by six people?"

As he said that, he smiled at the boss with a horrified and ugly face: "Thank you for your information."

When it was over, I didn't mention any resignation, but drove the boss outside: "Okay, there is not much time left, we are going to work, the workshop space is limited, boss, can you stay and help? If not, May I ask you to go out for a while?"

After he finished all the words, the boss's face turned purple with anger for a while, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he could only leave the workshop with a cold snort, and closed the door.

The other five players looked at me and I looked at you, somewhat contemptuous of their villainous heart just now.

Then he asked to divert attention: "Brother Lu, what did you mean by that?"

Lu Qingjia took the model data given by the boss: "No, it's just some information, but I can't confirm it yet."

"But what is certain is that the first task of the other party is to ensure that all of us stay here. If the number of people must be emphasized, then tonight's richest man's dinner is likely to be related to our task."

"But anyway, let's make the wax figure first."

A player asked, "Brother Lu, have you ever played this?"

Lu Qingjia shook her head: "No, but logically speaking, with our ability, it should be easy to make wax figures."

But according to the experience of the train, if it is so easy, I am sorry that the rules everywhere want to hinder the player's progress to reach the next level, so that everyone can fall into the logic of running out of times in the cycle of lack of clues as much as possible.

"Of course, it is also possible that the main course will be at the banquet, but I don't believe there will be no episodes here. With—"

Lu Qingjia pointed to the data on the drawing, and everyone surrounded them, but they didn't see anything special.

Although those drawings are detailed, they don't have a model in the form of an image, but each part of the body has precise data representation.

Each wax figure has at least 200 size data, among which the head data is the most detailed.

There are also materials all over the body, as well as the white space in the hair, and the proportions are clear.

It is as detailed as a one-to-one wax figure made for stars and celebrities in reality.

A female player asked: "Brother Lu, what's wrong with this?"

Lu Qingjia smiled, and took out one of the materials: "Take a look, does it look familiar?"

The female player looked at it for a while, but found nothing: "Where—is there?"

"Height measurements are about the same as mine?"

"More than that!" Lu Qingjia took a measuring tape from the table and threw it to her, saying, "If you measure against the above data, you will find that every inch of your body information, even the distance between the facial features, and the curvature of the facial contour are exactly the same as the above. "

The female player is slender and looks good-to be honest, if a female player reaches a certain level, if she doesn't pretend to be deliberately, or doesn't care about her appearance at all, her appearance will not be too bad.

After all, there are many props and food in the game that can make people beautiful. Even as the spiritual power becomes stronger, the body's metabolism, sewage discharge and repair ability are not comparable to ordinary people. As long as the innate condition is not too bad, the stronger the ability, The looks will only get better.

The female player took the tape measure and quickly measured all the data on the body, and found that no matter where it was, it was exactly the same as the information on the data.

Others also quickly took the tape measure, measured some basic data and found the comparison data.

Then everyone became restless: "Damn it, is this asking us to be ourselves?"

"When we finished the wax figure with humming humming, it turned out that it was our own face. Damn, it feels creepy just thinking about it."

Lu Qingjia smiled: "What's so intrusive just like that?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat: "What, what do you mean?"

Lu Qingjia pointed to a large pot in the workshop, in which wax oil was boiling. The wax oil looked transparent, but with a hint of yellow.

Lu Qingjia said: "When we first entered the house, the wax oil inside hadn't completely melted, and the surface was still solidified, but now it's like this."

"That being said, I also feel that the room is a bit hot." Someone said.

It's just that players are much more resistant to cold and high temperatures than ordinary people. The rising temperature in the room will not make people uncomfortable. It can be explained when the model data surges.

"This temperature shouldn't let the wax melt, right?"

"But the wax figure in the room has already responded." The female player pointed to the wax figure next to her.

I saw that the lifelike wax figure, the exposed skin on the face and hands, had sweat-like liquid.

A player dipped his finger: "It's the wax that melted. But its facial features are not blurred, and the outline is not deformed. How could this be?"

As if the wax figures were really just sweating.

These wax figurines were originally like real people. After the players entered, they felt as if they were being watched from time to time.

At this moment, waxy sweat appeared on their bodies, not only did not make their sense of existence distorted, but on the contrary, they looked more like real people.

If Lu Qingjia hadn't smashed one before, allowing people to see the structure inside, they would have wondered if a real person was sealed inside these wax figurines.

For a moment, this claustrophobic workshop revealed a terrifying atmosphere.

"Open the door first." The players were also unambiguous, and kicked open the door of the workshop.

It was kicked away easily, and several people came out of it temporarily, and the uncomfortable breath that followed everywhere was not delayed.

Instead, he bumped into the proprietress who came down from upstairs after cleaning.

The other party was holding a vacuum cleaner in his hand, and when he saw several people rushing out of the room at the same time, he suddenly looked a little unnatural.

Then he said with a straight face: "How long have you been working? I started to rest."

Others didn't bother to talk to her, so Lu Qingjia said, "Did you just clean?"

Perhaps it was the preferential treatment brought about by the outstanding appearance, the proprietress's face softened a little: "Yeah, when will a big family not have a pile of housework? It's just my life. I take care of four by myself, and I don't see anyone helping me."

Lu Qingjia smiled: "In such a big house, there are indeed a lot of housework every day. Is this just after cleaning?"

The proprietress followed along and said, "Yes, the upstairs is full of carpets, and the whole family always forgets to take off their shoes when they come and go, so they don't care how hard you clean up."

Lu Qingjia said: "It sounds really difficult, especially for someone like you who has just finished vacuuming the floor and the brush head is still so clean."

The proprietress froze and smiled unnaturally: "Yeah, I'm used to cleaning it up before putting it back."

Then he changed the subject and said, "If you have finished your breath, go back to work. If you miss the delivery in the afternoon, the consequences will be very serious."

"Okay, no problem, want me to help you with the vacuum cleaner? It looks heavy."

"No, no, no." The proprietress said, and then there was a sudden cry of pain, "Hiss——"

Lu Qingjia hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The proprietress stretched out her hand, and at some point a drop of hot wax appeared on her arm.

But the wax oil didn't solidify on it. Instead, it seemed like sparks fell on the candle, causing a melting reaction around the proprietress' skin.

The landlady's expression changed, she quickly tore off her sleeve to cover the skin, and hurriedly said, "I'll go back to my room and deal with it."

Lu Qingjia looked at the background of the other party leaving, showing a secretive smile.

Although several players were two or three meters away from them, their eyesight was not bad, and they immediately understood what was going on——

"Is that the wax oil in the pot?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "I didn't expect it to have this effect."

"It's really dangerous." Several players said.

"It's so perfect." Lu Qingjia said.

Everyone didn't understand what he meant.

"In fact, it's not too difficult to complete the task." A player said: "I have the ability to shape, as long as the things I touch, within a certain volume, they can be restored with clay."

"If all the model data comes from us, then make a mold out of clay, pour wax oil into it, and the finished product will be finished after air-drying. At most, some coloring is needed to repair the appearance."

"However, that wax oil is so overbearing, if you manipulate it without knowing it, your body will probably be crippled."

Lu Qingjia held the opposite opinion: "But I think that the plasticity of this wax oil is really good."

"And I have to correct a clue."

"what?"

"It's just the wax figures in this room," Lu Qingjia said, "At first I thought that these wax figures were not real people, at most they were controlled by props or possessed by evil spirits, but now it seems that it is not necessarily so."

As soon as the voice fell, it seemed that the atmosphere in the workshop was stagnant.

The dull eyes of one of the wax figures seemed to flicker for a moment.

The female player closest to it immediately reminded: "Did it move its eyes just now?"

Several people looked over vigilantly, but found nothing unusual.

Just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Qingjia sneered: "It's not just the eyes moving?"

"Didn't you realize that the positions and even postures of all the wax figures have changed from the beginning?"

Said that Lu Qingjia waved his hand, and several small ice sculpture models appeared on the table, which seemed to correspond to the wax figures in the workshop.

Lu Qingjia said: "This is the position and posture of the wax people when we first came in. Let's see the difference from now."

With the comparison of the reference objects, everyone immediately discovered that although the change was not obvious, every wax figure had changed more or less.

"It's just that the speed of change is too slow, with an average of a few millimeters per minute. Coupled with their inorganic properties, they can't be seen with the naked eye."

"But they are indeed moving around a certain purpose."

So it is enough to prove that these wax figures are alive in a sense.

A bunch of flames suddenly appeared in the hands of a fire control player, and he said with a sneer, "Wouldn't it be all right if you burn them?"

Talking about the flame approaching the nearest wax figure, but when the flame was about to lick the opponent, there was a scream from upstairs.
