I am invincible after I can read the file

This is a paradox.

If, as the puppet said, "No one will die", even if the person under the mask dies, the mask can still control his body, then there are five people now, and five people will be on stage by then.

——In fact, Yuying's body will disappear after "death", but the puppet does not realize this, it can only see that there are five guys wearing masks here.

Its expression twisted wildly, staring at Youying, then at Jianghuai, rolled its button eyes, and said slowly: "Okay..."

The play sang.

The purpose of the puppet is to let the singers get on stage smoothly, and the purpose of Jianghuai is to keep everyone alive, but the puppet obviously doesn't care about their life or death.

"Conflict", "turning point", "all five characters are playing normally", but only Youying really caused the change in the plot, so——

Jiang Huai continued to read the file several times.

Once his story is written into the play, then he is also a character in the play and is also controlled by the mask.

For the first time, Jianghuai died, and the file was automatically loaded.

The second time, "Dead Mandarin Duck" took revenge against his mother, and You Ying successfully completed the triple kill amidst the giggling laughter of the puppet.

For the third time, although the plot went smoothly, other people failed to take over the show, and Jiang Huai saw for the first time what "people completely controlled by masks" looked like, they lost themselves and became just like a singer ……doll?

He looked at the puppet, and the puppet didn't respond to it. It seemed that it didn't matter how many people died, but it couldn't accept the death of everyone.

Through overt and covert threats to the puppets and intimidation and control on the stowaways, they finally successfully completed a "rehearsal" before the candles went out.

"Hmph, almost." The puppet clapped its hands and raised its head proudly, "Come with me—"

The ground under the table suddenly sank, and layered stairs appeared, and looking down along the stairs, one could see a dark road.

And the candle has at least 2 minutes to burn out.

Huang Yi was silent for a while, and said, "Is the door over there false information?"

[You have completed the side mission: Fighting mandarin ducks]

[Award obtained: the key to leave stage 1]

Jianghuai: ...Huh?

The key automatically appeared in his quest backpack as a quest item, and the others finally stopped, panting wildly—they were all too nervous.

However, Jiang Huai's mood became much calmer after reading the files again and again. You Ying was still playing with the captured gun, but Deputy Zhang quickly walked up to Jiang Huai and said in a low voice, "Does it still hurt? How about the wound?" ?”

As she spoke, she took out the first aid kit that was placed next to her body, as if she was going to bandage Jiang Huai.

——In the successful rehearsal just now, Jiang Huai also lost blood, and he barely maintained about 20% of his blood volume. Stay away from Deputy Zhang, but this is beyond You Ying's control.

Deputy Zhang's arm was still bleeding.

Jiang Huai was startled, glanced at the two people quickly, took out a small pill (hp+500, mp+500) from their blind spot and gave it to Deputy Zhang, saying: "Use it quickly, it doesn't matter, my injury will heal soon .”

Indeed, he will recover soon, he doesn't feel any pain at all, and if you observe carefully enough, you will even find that his wound is no longer bleeding, and his expression is also calm, completely different from the grinning appearance in black and yellow.

Zhang Fu's expression was slightly complicated, but he didn't refuse. He glanced at the item in his hand and immediately swallowed it.

She felt that her wound was slightly hot, but she didn't feel uncomfortable. When she pulled off her clothes, she found that the wound had quickly formed a scar, and the scar faded away with a light touch.

...this medicine?She turned her head and noticed that Yu Ying approached the candle while they were talking, but obviously, the candle that appeared suddenly couldn't be taken away because the other two tried.

The puppet had already bounced and rolled into the dark underground passage. Of course, the black clothes and yellow clothes didn't want to say hello to the three of them, so they left without saying a word.

"If you don't leave before the candle goes out, there's no way to leave..." Zhang Fu wanted to persuade him this way, but he had already walked to the side of the passage, but saw Jiang Huai take out a white candle from his bosom and re-ignite it.

Then, You Ying spread out her palm, and a bronze key appeared in her palm: "I just stole this from the puppet."

Anyway, the puppet has already left, so what's wrong with taking the blame by the way.

"Is this the key to open that door?" Deputy Zhang came over and asked.

"It should be." When he answered, You Ying was already close to the door, fumbled for a few seconds, and opened it smoothly.

At the moment the door opened, Jiang Huai subconsciously moved two steps and stood in front of Deputy Zhang.

He didn't know that Vice Zhang behind him looked at You Ying and then at the boy in front of him.

Zhang Fu actually had some complaints about You Ying, but they were in a dangerous area now, and all personal emotions had to be put away.

——When Jiang Huai was injured, You Ying's performance was too indifferent, this pair of seniors... Sigh!But this is their business, not an outsider like her, so I have to take care of Gu Jianghuai more.

But she didn't expect that just after she decided to look at the child, the child wanted to protect her instead, which made her feel even more complicated.

You pool school... how do you teach them?

It was not completely dark outside the door, it was a corridor directly opposite the door, the walls were made of wood, and in front of it was a wooden frame, on which was a statue of the Nuo god, and there were two candles in front of the statue, still burning incense, Jianghuai immediately saved it A second later, You Ying led the way, while Jiang Huai held up a white candle and pulled Deputy Zhang out.

"It seems a little narrow here?"

As soon as they entered the corridor, they found that the corridor was so narrow that only two adults could pass side by side. After leaving the door, Jiang Huai locked the [stage] just in case, and looked at the map again.

The location was marked on his map, and the length of the corridor—

This is also a closed space, but——

Deputy Zhang touched the surrounding wooden partitions and said, "The arc seems wrong..."

Let Vice Zhang say it in advance, the space here is a ring, but because it is relatively large, the ring is not obvious enough, if you don't have experience or a map, you can't see it.

Candles are not nuclear energy candles, and they can't chat too much, they just pick a direction and try to move forward as much as possible.

Jiang Huai asked: "This place seems very big, is it round?"

Deputy Zhang sighed: "Leader Xu and the others said before that they should wipe the table and clean up, and the puppet said that we want us to perform on stage. I was thinking, is this a theater? We might be in a theater. The second floor, while Team Leader Xu is on the first floor of the theater building, and the real stage is also on the first floor."

You Ying said: "A team member said that he saw the statue and walked in the corridor."

Deputy Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then became happy again: "Could it be that you are in the same corridor as us? Doesn't that mean we are going to meet?"

And Jianghuai remembers that every time before, the other party said on the message board that they met two other female "smugglers" in the corridor, and they thought they were caught resisting "?", and the message board opened within 1 minute After that, they haven't met anyone yet.

… Is it wrong or right to use the key to get to the corridor instead of following the puppet down?

You Ying was not suitable for touching candles, and the wax dripped on the back of Jiang Huai's hand, but this injury would not break his defense at all.

The three of them, You Ying walked in front, if she hadn't changed into white clothes, she would almost blend in with the darkness according to her original black clothes, Jiang Huai and Zhang Fu stood side by side, Jiang Huai held a candle and walked to the side Hit the wall a few times.

Deputy Zhang: "Listening to this voice, the back seems to be empty."

Could it really be a theatrical building, but isn't this circular setting for the guests on the second floor to see the situation below?Why seal it up?

When the time came, Jiang Huai and Zhang Fu looked at each other and decided to let Jiang Huai leave a message this time.

【Message panel】

Jiang Huai: The three of us left the room. We were asked by the puppets to play the Huangmei Opera in the room. Pay attention, masks can control us. Now we open the door to the corridor. The description of the corridor is the same as what team member C said. Team member C, pay more attention to your back s things.

Other people’s comments are still the same as before, but it may be that Jiang Huai’s behavior on the stage has caused changes, and the description of team member C has changed——

Jiang Huai still remembers what he said last time:

[Team member C: I met the two missing college students, both girls. They are surprisingly powerful. They even have guns and a knife that can cut through walls, but it’s useless. It’s not a ghost behind me, but just a ghost. A costume... It's weird, we made a big fuss, and now all three are caught.I don't know where it will be sent. 】

But this time, it became like this:

[Team member C: I met two missing female college students. They were armed with control knives and guns. They were powerful. The moment they destroyed the surrounding environment, a black shadow suddenly appeared and took everyone away. Behind me was not Ghost, it’s a costume, I don’t understand why I put on a costume, but the black shadow didn’t catch me]

What is the difference between these two times?

The black clothes and yellow clothes followed the puppets to the ground, and the three of Jiang Huai opened the door and walked into the corridor.

Why does this affect team member C?

The difference between "being caught" and "not being caught" is that the other party is wearing a costume, but he himself doesn't understand why he put it on.

You Ying in front of him suddenly stopped and said, "There are bloodstains on the ground."

Jiang Huai glanced at the map and found that they would go back to the statue after walking one-sixth of a circle. If they still couldn't find anything, they would go back to the stage room to see if they could go back to the stage room while the candle light was still there. Entered the underground passage.

If not, he can still read the file.

Deputy Zhang bent down to take some blood with a tool, and identified it: "The blood hasn't dried yet... The environment here is not humid, how long has the other party been away?"

But how did the bleeding man get away?They didn't find any other rooms when they got here.

Continuing to move forward, the three of them successfully returned to the statue of Nuo God, and the stage was on the other side.

However, along the way, little drops of blood dripped from the pool of blood all the way to the front of the statue, and disappeared behind the crack of the door.

Jiang Huai turned the door lightly, and the door opened.

Deputy Zhang shuddered: "When we left, Xiaoyou locked the door, right?"

You Ying responded, confirmed for her that it was not her memory that made a mistake, and took out the key to check - the key was indeed still with her.

The light from the candle only illuminated a little around, and the shadows of the three were reflected on the open door. The room was dark and the door was half-open, so no one could see if there was anyone inside.

Deputy Zhang slightly raised his voice and asked, "Is anyone there?"

As she asked, she lowered her head and saw blood slowly flowing from the crack of the door, and the blood had already soaked Jiang Huai's shoes.

As for You Ying...she was wearing black shoes.

Deputy Zhang's mind went blank——

Going to the mountains and going to the countryside, visiting the grassroots, handling public affairs, and conducting on-the-spot investigations, she can do everything, but she didn't expect that what this rescue needs is "singing Huangmei opera", "beating children" and "adapting to the atmosphere of terror".

You said that in front of you is a dead person or a living person... But I don't know whether it is dead or alive...

Her heart was beating "thumping" and "thumping".

Unexpectedly, the girl next to her flashed away and walked into the room without a candle.

After a while, she came out dragging a dead body.

It was a female corpse. She was wearing a blue mask and a blue costume, but it was different from Jiang Huai and the others who covered her body perfunctorily. The other party was like a professional theater performer. professional.

It's just her mask and costume - exactly the same as Jianghuai.

"When I went in, I found her behind the screen," You Ying said, "I can see things better than you in the dark, and I can vaguely see that she hanged herself by the hemp rope through the light at the door."

Not so.

Several people who entered the field discovered that they could only see through the light of candles, and the flashlights they carried were useless. It seemed that these lights were not recognized here.

Jiang Huai frowned slightly - it is reasonable to say that he is spiritually sensitive, but the circular corridor seems to be very special, and he didn't smell the smell of blood until he walked nearby.

Although Deputy Zhang has never had an autopsy, he often sees corpses because of his work experience. At this time, he carefully looked at the female corpse in front of him by candlelight, rummaged through her clothes, and said, "I was abused before she died, but the real cause of death was asphyxiation."

She paused for a moment before saying in a trembling voice, "...is that 'Mandarin Duck'?"

For an ordinary person who has three normal views and believes in science as of yesterday——

field!It's really not a place for people to stay!

Jiang Huai, who was silent at the side, suddenly thought of something wrong——

In the [Utility Room], there is no door, and his perception can only visit the entire room, not the situation behind him. When he leaves the utility room to the stage, he passes through the black hole at the bottom of the box, and there is no In the utility room, it also exists in the stage.

In [Stage], after they finished the play, the puppets let them walk into the dark underground passage, but the underground passage was impenetrable, and the two of them seemed to disappear after entering... It seems to be a way of time travel?

It is different when the door can be opened.

"It exists both in the utility room and in the stage", isn't the door such a boundary?

When one foot goes out and the other foot is still inside the door, he is in two spaces [the stage] and the corridor at the same time... No, no, Jiang Huai looked at the map again.

What is shown on the map is indeed a circular corridor, but it is not the same as the sundry room of the stage, and the name [corridor] is not marked, and this unimportant detail was skipped by Jianghuai at the time.

he thinks:

Could it be... We are actually still on stage?

We thought we had left the stage, but we were still in it.
