Retire and enter the escape game

Chapter 15 Mechanisms
The death of the receptionist was discovered.

The three female players who discovered the death of the receptionist were Yu Lanyi, Zhao Qian, and Li Tingting. All three were newcomers. When the rooms were assigned last night, the three of them stayed together for warmth. As they were too timid, they did not dare to order supper from the receptionist, and they stayed hungry until dawn.

After finally seeing the daybreak, the three of them prepared to go out for something to eat. But when they went downstairs, they saw the body of the receptionist lying on the ground with his eyes open.

Screams cut through the morning silence.

Soon, the hall became lively.

"Oh my, how could someone die? Aren't there good reviews about the vegetarian town online?"

"Yeah, and there's something about leaving the doors unlocked at night, otherwise my mom wouldn't have agreed to let me travel here alone."

"Yes, we got married while traveling. Since both of our parents were gone, we were too lazy to hold a wedding banquet. But we didn't expect to encounter such a thing at the first stop! It's really unlucky!"

"Everyone, don't panic, don't panic." One of the young men in sportswear said, "I just saw that the fatal wound of the receptionist was on his neck. Apart from his neck, there were almost no scars anywhere else. In other words, he was killed in one blow. There were no signs of struggle on his body, which means that the person who killed him must have had a grudge against him."

"But even if there is a grudge against him, he is still a murderer. It's so scary. I want to refund my ticket and go home." One of the girls, about 17 or 18 years old, said. She pouted and used her mobile phone to send a message to her mother who was suffering from cancer.

"It's strange. My cell phone signal has been intermittent lately."

The girl was a little dissatisfied because the message was not sent.

The cell phone signal was so bad that she didn’t know whether the wish she made at Daotang Temple would come true.

Is mom getting better?

Others also started talking about it. Most of them were NPCs. Because the players didn't dare to come out at the first time, until they heard more and more discussions, they gradually walked out of the room and started discussing the death of the receptionist.

"It's only the first night and those ghosts have started killing people? But why are the dead people NPCs?"

"How do you know the players are not dead? Are all the players in this hotel?"

"That's right. Besides, many players haven't woken up yet, so we don't know whether they are alive or dead."

"The receptionist brought me a midnight snack last night. I thought he was sick, but he died so soon."

"Me too."

"Everyone, don't panic, don't panic." It was Brother Ming who said this. He went downstairs with his subordinates Cui Shan and Shi Feng. When he saw that Bai Jin was not among the crowd, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the body lying on the ground and hearing the discussion of the crowd, he had no idea what was going on. He said with a righteous look on his face: "In fact, the death of the NPC is good for us."

He remembered what a master gamer had said when he was playing a game with him at the same time.

"This means that the NPC has triggered the death mechanism. In other words, as long as we find the cause of the NPC's death, we can avoid our own death."

In the escape game, the NPCs would not hear what the players said about the game, so Mingge did not hide anything. He said, "I'll send you my contact information later. Let's create a discussion group and discuss what happened last night. As long as we know the mechanism, we can avoid danger."

Most of the players in this escape game are new players.

Hearing Brother Ming say this, everyone became excited: "Really?"

“That’s just wonderful.”

"That's Brother Ming, right? I'll add your contact information."

"I want to join too."

Players rushed to add Ming Ge. Ming Ge finally got back the face he lost yesterday. He was so excited that his back straightened a little.

He couldn't help but think of Bai Jianjun again.

Maybe she is really good and not a newcomer, but when he found this clue, she might still be sleeping somewhere.

Just thinking about this, Brother Ming felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.

But the next second, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and then a group of men in black clothes walked in from outside. They saw the body on the ground at a glance, and said to the people in the hall: "Come with us."

Ming Ge was stunned. He subconsciously asked, "Why?" "Because many people died in our town last night." The leading man said with a cold face, "Before you came here, our vegetarian town could always leave its doors open at night. There was no danger at all."

Mingge was a little panicked: "What?"

Is it more than just the receptionist who died?

How is this going?

The other players were also confused and looked at Brother Ming.

Mingge: ...

But this group of men in black were already impatient. They waved their hands and more people appeared outside. They were the residents of the small town who had smiled at them yesterday, but now they were looking at them with hatred, as if they had already convicted them.

The NPCs also panicked.

The young man in sportswear who was at the front desk just now said, "But this has nothing to do with us or you, why should we kill him? The first thing to consider when killing someone is the motive..."

"Okay, don't say these useless things."

The leading man interrupted the young man in sportswear and said impatiently: "I just asked you to do a survey."

"It's impossible for us to just let it go when so many people died in our town."

"Don't worry, as long as you are innocent, we will release you after the investigation is complete."

"Then you have to give us some time."

"Yes, if you can't figure it out, then we will be locked up forever."

When the NPCs questioned him, the man sneered, "Do you think the Daotang Temple in our town is just for show? Don't worry, as long as you enter our Daotang Temple, no one can escape the eyes of the gods."

At the same time, Su Min also walked in.

She held the registration book and read out the names one by one, asking those whose names were called to go out and wait.

No one had any objections this time. After all, the NPCs had been to Daotang Temple as soon as they arrived yesterday.

The players had even less objections. Of course, there was no point in having any objections. With so many people outside staring at them covetously, how could they escape?
We can only hope that the gods and Buddhas in Daotang Temple are really useful.

but,

How can the gods and Buddhas in escape games be real gods and Buddhas?
Even if there is, it can only be an evil god.

The players were extremely nervous.
Ming Ge, who knew this, was even more nervous. Cui Shan and Shi Feng didn't even dare to speak. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Is everyone here?"

"There are still two people missing."

Su Min shook his head: "One is called Bai Jianji."

"One is called Shao Shuyan."

The man in black sneered, "Such a big thing happened, and they can still sleep with such a noise outside. They must not be good people..."

Su Min interrupted him: "Uncle Xiang, Bai only helped me yesterday, so let me go up and tell them to come down."

Uncle Xiang frowned and looked at her for a few seconds: "Okay, then you go quickly and come back soon."

"it is good."

Su Min nodded and walked straight upstairs.
