Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 439 Finding Important Clues

But this is impossible.

Lan Xiaye shook her head in her heart. The actors only had four days left and they themselves were not sure they could leave here, not to mention wasting the already scarce time to look for clues for the lighting engineer and find a way to escape.

Seeing the impatient people going up and asking questions, Lan Xiaye quietly withdrew from the crowd, avoided the dark-shadowed woman chanting, and came to Cai Cai. "How is it?" she asked in a low voice.

Cai Cai stuffed a ball of cloth into Lan Xiaye's hand.

The cloth was stained with dried blood, which instantly reminded Lan Xiaye of the remaining cloth at the fake audience position.

Could this be the hidden clue for the audience to discover?

Cai Cai told Lan Xiaye through voice transmission that the cloth was hidden in a very secret place. She had to crawl under the control consoles and only found it through the gap between the buttons in the corner.

The only person who could hide in a place like this is a lighting technician.

There is no other reason, it's just because this way of hiding things is too common for humans. When most people hide something, their first reaction is to hide it in a corner where it is not easy to be found.

If the boss or director takes action, they may use more secretive and mysterious means.

Lan Xiaye shook off the dust on the outside of the cloth, cut open the cloth, and the complete information was revealed inside.

——The boss has absolute control over the theater. The director’s orders can be disobeyed to a certain extent, but the boss’ orders must be obeyed absolutely.

Finally found a useful clue!

The director's orders can actually be resisted, which leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

Lan Xiaye's eyes were bright, and she happily put the cloth into the space. She looked at Cai Cai, "Are there any similar clues here?"

Cai Cai shook her head. "There's only this one person. The lighting engineer might know something else, but we can't pry him open."

Lan Xiaye followed Cai Cai's gaze and saw that the man had lost his temper and started beating the lighting technician with his fists, forcing him to tell her the clues.

The lighting engineer was still the same, until someone suggested, "Since he won't talk, just kill him."

Upon hearing this, the lighting engineer's expression changed and he begged, "I'll tell you, please don't kill me."

"That's right."

Lighting technician: "Actually, the director is not the boss of the theater. Someone else is the boss."

After saying this, the lighting engineer looked up at the crowd, waiting for their surprised reactions.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw everyone as calm as water.

The lighting engineer's heart sank. This group of people knew a lot. It seemed that he had to use some ruthless tactics.

"The boss is the boss of the theater, and we have to listen to her. The director is just an employee under the boss, and he doesn't have much status. We don't have to listen to what she says."

Now, the lighting engineer saw everyone’s reactions as he wished.

The familiar shadow audience members were discussing in whispers whether the lighting engineer's words could be trusted.

Their eyes were solemn.

Are the clues that the lighting engineer gave out unwillingly under the threat of death really correct?

Could it be that he was deliberately misleading them and telling false clues to induce them to make mistakes and trigger the death rule?

Or maybe the lighting engineer was telling the real clue, but he was sure that no one would believe him and go against his words.

They can't tell the difference between true and false.

Lan Xiaye was amazed. The lighting engineer's words contained both truth and lies. No matter which possibility the actor finally suspected, he would face death if he tried and failed.

If Cai Cai hadn’t discovered the real clue, I don’t know how many actors would have been killed by the lighting technician.

The lighting engineer is no longer a task worker, he has completely become a ghost of the dusk theater!

Lan Xiaye's eyes flashed with murderous intent. For such people, let alone extending the lights-out time to help them escape, it would be considered a conscience not to trick them at the critical moment.

Something as important as controlling the lights must not be left in the hands of someone with ill intentions towards them.

Lan Xiaye was about to take action when he saw a man take out a weapon and put it against the lighting technician's head.

"In that case, you are useless." A cold voice came along with the sound of breaking air.

A shadowy spectator gets a clue and immediately wants to kill everyone.

The lighting technician reacted very quickly and took out props for defense.

Seeing that the shadowy audience was about to continue their attack, the lighting engineer was terrified and said quickly: "If I die, the director will come down in person to control the lights. If he finds you, you will all die!"

Afraid that if he spoke too slowly he would be killed by the shadowy audience, the lighting engineer spoke very quickly.

"Wait!" As soon as these words were spoken, an audience member immediately stopped the attack and stopped the killing.

Lan Xiaye stepped forward and asked, "Are you saying that if you die, the director will be able to sense it immediately?"

Her eyes were calm and sharp. The lighting engineer remembered this shadow. Facing Lan Xiaye, the lighting engineer was very cautious, "That's right!"

With his own safety at stake, the lighting engineer dared not lie anymore. He brought up the director to try to scare everyone away, "The Dusk Theater is in great need of lighting engineers. Before I came here, the director personally adjusted the lights."

"So once I die, the theater will be without a lighting technician, and the director will come over to take over the control console."

After these words were spoken, everyone became cautious and did not dare to attack the lighting technician easily.

But Lan Xiaye found it a little strange. Firstly, the lighting technician did not directly admit whether the director could sense his death at the first moment.

Secondly, if the director could really sense his death immediately, why didn't he use this to threaten everyone when they first met and everyone tried to pull him away from the console?

Lan Xiaye thought a lot in his mind and instantly came up with a guess.

If this is the case, don't worry for now, you can still use the lighting technician one last time.

Lan Xiaye glanced at the lighting technician who was becoming more and more relaxed, and called on the other shadow audience members to leave with her.

"If the lights are turned off for too long, it might arouse the director's suspicion. Let's go back now."

The lighting engineer was surprised. So steady?

Before the lighting engineer could speak, Lan Xiaye turned around and asked the shadowed audience, "Who has the means to make him temporarily lose his memory?"

The shadowy audience looked at each other and shook their heads.

The lighting engineer breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I can't make people lose their memory, there is a way to prevent him from complaining to the director and the boss." A shadowy audience member understood Lan Xiaye's meaning, stepped forward, and hovered his hand in front of the lighting engineer's eyebrows.

Deprivation of the six senses

Auditory, stripped.

Sound, stripped.

Touch, peel.

"It's done." The shadow spectator stopped.

Most of the audience in the black shadow still trusted Lan Xiaye, except for a few people who did not want to waste the precious lights-out time.

However, the minority must obey the majority, and they did not dare to act alone, so they could only return to the audience seats with Lan Xiaye and others.
