Master Swindler

Seeing the owner's family of the wax museum trembling, while his companion sharpened his knife, it really felt absurd that his position was reversed.

But inexplicably, it feels very cool, doesn't it?

So the five players entered the villain mode without a teacher, and also took out their usual lethal props or abilities from their bodies, and looked at the boss's family with a sullen smile behind Lu Qingjia.

The picture looks very much like the villain boss and his henchmen.

The boss's family also wanted to resist desperately, anyway, if they were caught, they would end up like the boss.

As a result, countless wax figures poured out from each room, each of them was lifelike, because I only saw a limited number of rooms when I entered the house.

No one expected that there were so many hidden in the whole villa.

In a short while, the six players were surrounded by a large number of wax figures.

The boss's family relaxed their nerves, and sneered sullenly: "It's too young to want to rebel in our territory."

Those wax figurines looked like living creatures at the moment, their eyes seemed to have emotions, and the eyes they looked at everyone were a little creepy.

But no matter how realistic the appearance is, the movement trajectory is very different from that of a human being. It is not the kind of stiffness, but the flexibility that is not restricted by the joints.

In the dimly lit hall, the dense numbers and weird movements make people feel chills at a glance.

"Hey! You guys should just be wax figures. It's useless to struggle, and you should suffer less."

Everyone looked around warily, but they heard Lu Qingjia say: "Yeah, what's the use of struggling? It's meaningless except to suffer in vain."

The voice was still floating in the air, but the others had already come behind the boss's family. The speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye. Before the wax figurine could react, it passed through the encirclement.

When he put his hands on the shoulders of the proprietress and the proprietress' mother, he made a harmonious gesture: "I caught you."

"what----"

The two women screamed in fright, and the screams of panic made the boss's son and daughter jump.

Then everyone noticed that the wax figurines who were approaching them paused, and some of them even stopped.

Several of them were leaning forward in their original postures, but they suddenly stopped and fell forward, knocking down several wax figurines in a chain reaction.

"These wax figures are all controlled by them." One of the players exclaimed.

"Nonsense, they use wax figures in the workshop to keep an eye on our every move, maybe they are wax figures themselves."

After all, players with rich customs clearance experience did not waste this flaw at all.

When the wax figurine's movements became messy, he took the opportunity to withdraw from the encirclement, and restrained the rest of the boss's son and daughter with both hands.

So far, the remaining four people are already under control.

The four of them were thrown into the workshop, and Lu Qingjia had someone directly hang them up above the wax oil boiler.

"You are not human, you can kill with no head. We have never done such a cruel thing." The boss family struggled.

Lu Qingjia said to the player who controlled the fire before: "Add fire!"

The fire intensified, and the wax oil quickly reached the boiling point. There were muffled noises and bright bubbles in the pot, and the heat rose, scorching the whole family.

Lu Qingjia grinned: "No matter how hard your mouth is, you will almost reach the flash point, and the feeling of being burned from the skin is not good."

The boss's mother snorted: "Even if you do what you want, we will still be doomed. Think us stupid?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "That's true, but a quick knife is better than Ling Chi, right?"

"Besides, you are all going to die, so it's useless to keep this ability. I don't think it's a loss-making deal to give it to me in exchange for the last peace of life."

"Anyway, there are still two or three hours before the delivery time, how about it? Should I tell you what I know, and I will throw you all into the furnace in one breath, or I will drip wax oil on your skin drop by drop, and slowly wake up. wake up?"

"Oh, by the way, although our task is to deliver a full-body wax figure, it does not prevent me from having fun before delivery. The skin that has been poured with wax oil can be waxed, and it is very malleable. I can also try to make dog wax. Cats wax snakes wax pigs and the like."

"Don't worry, I will keep you awake. Of course, out of humanitarianism, I will keep your heads as they are before delivery, so that you can clearly feel the plasticity of your body."

Not to mention the boss's family, even the players' teeth hurt after hearing this.

Is this the torture of that door?

Seeing that the other party was still tough, Lu Qingjia sighed and put the boss's daughter down first: "Okay, time is limited, ladies first."

"Alas! Why are you looking for me? It's none of my business that you are looking for my grandma, that old bastard who is the master. In fact, I don't want to make you into a wax figure at all."

Lu Qingjia smiled at her: "I don't want to, after all, you are a lovely woman. Don't worry, I will make you into a beautiful mermaid."

He took out a sharp scalpel from his pocket, and said in a gentle voice full of enthusiasm for art: "I will personally carve your scales one by one, polish each one, and make sure you are unparalleled in beauty. "

The boss's daughter knows that the body that has been waxed with wax oil, as long as the person is not dead, the sense of touch remains unchanged.

The polishing that the other party mentioned was even more painful than Ling Chi.

Then he broke down and cried: "I said, I said, we just completed the task, as long as you hinder you from completing the task of making wax figures, you will get one point, and you will get two points if you are made into wax figures. On the contrary, if you complete the task, you will be deducted points." , we just want not to be punished."

"Huh? Is this point useful?" Lu Qingjia scratched the scalpel with his thumb.

"Accumulation, when the points reach a certain amount, you can return to reality."

Lu Qingjia chuckled: "Sure enough, you are also players."

He said that with the energy of the controller of this dungeon, other things are fine, but it is still not qualified to make an NPC that has independent thinking ability, knows how to adapt, and is no different from a real person.

To be honest, this kind of thing may be difficult even for games. After all, although games usually refer to the characters in the dungeons as NPCs, except for some special dungeons, most of them are real worlds, but the dimensional level is lower than reality That's all.

Creating intelligent creatures out of thin air is something that can only be done by a god who is truly detached from the game and rules.

If it was just an NPC who completed the task mechanically, it would be impossible for Lu Qingjia to give such a lively and cunning response in Lu Qingjia's previous temptation, nor would it be possible for him to be so stupid as to be so real.

So Lu Qingjia guessed how these people came here early in the morning. They were neither players who were performing missions, nor were they people who forgot their identity as NPCs and became NPCs.

So apart from the NPC stolen from other worlds by the controller of this dungeon, the biggest possibility is the player who has lost the game qualification but has not forgotten his identity.

The boss's daughter trembled and said: "We betrayed our teammates and snatched a chance to buy tickets from them, so we didn't get wiped out and lost our memory."

"But if you want to go back, you have to obey that existence and get all the points before you can return to reality."

Lu Qingjia nodded: "How many people like you are there in this dungeon?"

"I don't know?" The other party shook his head: "We can't get out of our own territory. That existence has set an identity for us, and we have to carry it out to the end."

"However, there will definitely not be fewer such people, because when the previous players came here, from their conversations, it seems that there are more and more people in the city. Although there are still few, you must know that our initial Everywhere is empty."

After Lu Qingjia confirmed that the other party was a player, he boldly used his mental power to obtain information with confidence.

In the end, they basically asked what they knew, and then said: "Okay, then hand over your abilities next."

The four of them paused, looked at Lu Qingjia and said, "Here, how can I give this?"

Lu Qingjia smiled: "It's not ability? Then other rewards are fine."

"Don't tell me that there are so many levels with traps, there is no reward at all, and you have to pay attention to basic laws when cheating."

The four of them hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Qingjia heard the system prompt in his mind, still in that reluctant mechanical tone——

[Player Lu Qingjia breaks the horror wax museum and rewards wax figure projection and wax figure manipulation skills. 】

Only then did Lu Qingjia nodded in satisfaction, and he didn't know whether to say to the family of four or the system: "Next time it's your turn to give out rewards, be more proactive."

"Otherwise, it looks like a small workshop owner who is so tight, who wants to work here?"

After speaking, I felt a sense of resentment.

Lu Qingjia ignored it and waved his hand: "Throw them into the boiler."

The four of them were hung upside down, and when they were about to be immersed in it, the owner's mother suddenly let out a sinister laugh——

"You idiots, are you still listening to him?"

"His wax figure has already been made. Our family is only this small in size, and we can make five wax figures in total. What about the remaining one? You can fight for yourself, hehehe!"

As soon as she said this, the expressions of several players changed.

In fact, there are many people who have noticed this from the beginning, but Lu Qingjia has given everyone the impression that he is too omnipotent, so he thinks that the other party can solve this problem.

But since the old woman brought it up on purpose, things must not be as optimistic as they thought.

A player hurriedly said: "Are you stupid? There are so many wax figures in the room, just melting two is enough."

"Hey hey..." The old woman let out a sharp smile: "You will know after you try it."

A player hurriedly took a spoonful of wax oil and poured it on the wax figure next to it, but strangely, after the wax figure melted, there was a stench in the workshop.

The wax oil that was originally creamy yellow also turned black and could not be formed. It seemed that the wax oil had an extra layer of activity, and it burrowed everywhere underground.

Lu Qingjia stretched out his hand to stop the movement of the wax oil. Not only was he not angry, but he felt like he had found a treasure: "The oil melted by this wax man seems quite aggressive."

Then he said: "But this is also obvious, otherwise it would be fine, why would the wax figure sweat?"

It is nothing more than trying to use the imperceptible liquefaction to create an environment for sneak attacking players, but seeing that the players who control the fire want to burn wax figures, they are afraid that the wax will melt rapidly and go out of control, and the matter will be revealed, so they scream at the right time to draw the attention of the players. Try to lead to the murder case.

Lu Qingjia smiled at the ferocious old woman, "It's really hard for you, you have to worry about our missions even when you die."

As he said that, he was about to stuff people into the oil pan.

The old woman quickly made a shrill voice: "Do you dare to say that you didn't make your own wax figure in advance to occupy a spot first?"

"Poor these idiots, they are grateful to Dade for picking up your leftover corners one by one. Don't think that you can pass the level with a little cleverness. This game is like this. The suspicion and fight between you will always make it impossible for you to pass the level."

"I'll wait for you to become NPCs, or people like us, hahahaha..."

Lu Qingjia could feel that the hearts of the players were fluctuating. In this kind of pitfall everywhere, and countless players were trapped in the dungeon from which they could not escape, the trust in teammates could not overwhelm the vigilance of the rules for the time being.

The anxiety of many people was revealed, the atmosphere became vaguely weird, and there was an inexplicable layer between players and players.

Lu Qingjia smiled at this time, as if she didn't care about what the old woman said, but asked her: "Can we go out here before we finish the task?"

The old woman smiled even more proudly: "Hahahahaha, those who can't get out, I know what you want to do, I want to go to the street and pull a random player or NPC to be a scapegoat, hehehe, I've thought of this for a long time, You can’t find a substitute before delivery, and if you want to complete the task, you always have to die.”

Lu Qingjia smiled in relief after hearing the words: "That's good, thank you for helping me make sure that we are not in a desperate situation."

"what?"

"Is it hard to understand?" Lu Qingjia said, "Since we can't leave, someone will come to receive the goods when the time comes, right?"

"Don't tell me that these things will automatically go to the richest man's house as soon as the delivery time comes. No matter how you say it, it's a bit against the rules."

The old woman's triumphant laughter stopped abruptly, and she looked at Lu Qingjia in horror: "You plan to let the driver—"

"Hmm! Your worries have been resolved, so you can go there with peace of mind, right?"

As he said that, he pressed the struggling old woman into the pot, ignoring the whining voice of the other party, and turned the "family" into wax oil.

"Come on, whoever starts first."

"I, I!" The player who has the ability to control the soil and can make a model by himself hastily raised his hand.

Several other people secretly scolded this guy for running fast, but it's not good to behave too much in front of Lu Qingjia.

After all, when the game has reached this level, it can almost be said that the opponent is clearing the level with one hand.

Lu Qingjia had already given a solution, and judging by the old woman's last expression, I'm afraid that Lu Qingjia's expectations were good, and someone would indeed come to receive the goods, so there would be no problem of missing someone's expectations.

But to be on the safe side, it is always safer to make your own wax figure first.

It was the female player who was the most generous: "Sure, you go first, I will use the consignee's last."

And looked at Lu Qingjia: "I trust Jiajia's judgment."

Lu Qingjia was not interested in building real trust with his temporary teammates, but occasionally he met a player he admired, such as Yang Qian, and he didn't hesitate to do a little bit of work.

According to the boss's family, the biggest trap of this game may be the trust between players. If a person runs alone at the beginning, he may never be able to trigger the real mission, and there is no way to pass the level. would serve this line of thought.

Lu Qingjia didn't have much expectations for the players in this game, but he always believed that there is no dead end under the rules.

So he smiled at the female player and comforted him: "It's okay, even in the worst case, the big deal is that you fail this level, try it again tomorrow, and then we will be ready with today's reminder."

Everyone thought about it, Lu Qingjia could go to City A and come back without any reminder to lead his teammates to the real mission stage.If there is indeed an objective obstacle to this task, giving the other party a second chance will definitely only make the preparations more perfect.

What's more, based on what the old woman said just now, it is estimated that there will be teamwork in the next level. Even those who can't trust Lu Qingjia have to trust his IQ, and the other party won't be so eager to abandon their teammates so quickly.

After the wax figures of everyone except the female player are ready, there is still an hour before the delivery time.

Lu Qingjia used mud to make a mold for the female player, and then said: "Now start leaving clues for tomorrow's self."

"I guess the next refresh point should be when the goods are handed over."

After a busy day, everyone almost forgot about this, so they hurriedly made hints on their bodies, those who applied wax and oil, those who put tools from the workshop on their bodies, and those who hid the blueprints.

But he saw Lu Qingjia writing something quietly beside him.

Then someone asked, "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

"Huh? I'll write down what happened today."

No one thought that it could be done so directly, and they were a little dazed.

"But, is this possible? If you want to connect two days so easily, what's the point of setting the loading point in the game?"

"Besides, why didn't you write it down yesterday?"

Lu Qingjia smiled: "The situation was urgent yesterday, I didn't have time to write."

"Besides, you have to try."

Everyone gathered around and saw that he had written more than one letter. The first letter was an ordinary statement that everyone could understand.

But the second letter is in the form of Morse code. If this person who has studied a little can barely understand it, then the third letter is a pure letter of numbers, and no one knows what it means.

Seeing that Lu Qingjia was about to write a fourth letter, everyone quickly asked, "How much do you want to write?"

"Try the so-called memory clearing and how far the preparations before archiving can go. By the way, everything that happened today has been recorded by me, but there is a high probability that these two things will be killed."

If it was that easy, there wouldn't be so many people trapped here.

"What are your next few letters?"

Lu Qingjia was not stingy either: "The first letter is a letter, the second letter is Morse code, and the third letter is the page number of the corresponding book. As long as they are combined, the meaning I want to express can be restored."

"what book?"

"I like a book that I wrote down in full. There must be unexplainable situations in the game not only now. Find a reference that belongs to me. Not only now, but also useful for similar emergencies in the future."

"Damn it, I'll just recite a book when I go out." said the male player who controlled the fire.

"The next few letters are all kinds of fancy codes, but there is a premise that these codes can actually be translated into specific meanings in an instant in my heart. If the rules restrict me to leave too much for myself subjectively, If there are too obvious text messages, I am afraid that all of them will be killed in battle."

"So I prepared this." Something seemed to flash in Lu Qingjia's hand, but before everyone saw it clearly, he put it into the game backpack

"This is--?"

"Before this thing was opened, I didn't know what it was, but if the degree of clues left by the player is based on subjective determination, then this can be passed."

Everyone didn't ask any more questions, but felt that their preparations were weak for a while.

When everyone was almost ready, the truck to receive the goods also came, and two car horns came from outside the villa.

When everyone went out, they saw a fat driver coming down from the top. They saw that it was not the boss's family that appeared in front of them, and their expressions were quite strange.

As a result, before he could say anything, the players rushed forward and tied up the man.

"What are you doing? I'm just a receiver, and you still can't deliver without me."

Lu Qingjia tore off the passport from the other party, and said with a sneer, "It's not easy to find the mansion with the down payment? Go at ease, we will deliver the goods for you."

Then the driver was pushed into the wax oil pot, melted and poured on the mold of the female player, and the time was stuck at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Everyone finally believed in Lu Qingjia's words: "Sure enough, it is impossible to leave a dead end at the checkpoint."

"So shall we go to the banquet next?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "After working for a long time, I must go and see who the benefactor is."

Several people teamed up to put the wax figure into the car, and another player with the ability to change appearance pretended to be the driver and drove to the mansion of the richest man.

The mansion is fairly guarded, but the combined abilities of a few players are quite comprehensive.

Lu Qingjia has the space to hide everyone in a pool of water and pass the unboxing inspection. There is also a player in the team who has the ability to hide from people's eyes. These problems are not big.

When the truck drove into the warehouse, the wax figure was moved out, and the staff from the banquet side came to prepare to carry it to the hall.

Lu Qingjia and the others suddenly appeared, knocked out several service staff, and changed into their uniforms.Hide people in Lu Qingjia's muddy space.

As a result, I carried the wax figure to the hall, only to find that there were many weird decorations for this banquet. The candles in the eyes flickered like giant Halloween pumpkins. Bloody mummies, snake-shaped candies falling from the ceiling.

It's summer, those who don't know think it's a Halloween party.

A man in uniform clapped his hands at the preparation table: "Hurry up, the richest man has arrived, and he will come over to check in half an hour, so we don't make any mistakes."

"Oh yes, the mask can be put on."

The waiter's mask was a uniform black bat-shaped eye mask. Seeing that everyone was wearing it, Lu Qingjia said to the female player closest to her: "You guys stay here first, I'll go to another place to have a look."

The female player responded quickly: "Do you think you will be the richest man?"

Lu Qingjia smiled, nodded and said: "It's not an option to be passive all the time. This condition is arranged. If you don't take advantage of it, you will be sorry for the other party's careful preparation."

"But how are you going?"

"There is a way."

Lu Qingjia took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and came to the bathroom, and took out the unused transgender dress that she bought in the previous copy.

As soon as Fang put on the upper body, his height was shortened by a part, and his skeletal body shape became a female characteristic. His hair was long and loosely draped around his waist.

After leaving the bathroom, there is a big beauty with dazzling beauty.
