Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

The Joker's abilities are about manipulation.

He can use the threads extending from his palms to turn anyone or anything into a puppet.

The clown raised his hand, several translucent threads spread out like snakes, and deftly took the alcoholic drink from Zhu Zheng's hand.

The bottle cap opens automatically.

The Joker took a swig of his alcoholic drink.

Several more translucent threads rose up, holding the clown's makeup box in front of him, quickly smearing the original expression on the clown's face, and then re-painting a nostalgic expression on the white face.

Good stuff, it's been a long time since I had a drink. What do you want to talk about? I have time before the show.

What performance? Zhu Zheng asked curiously.

Hehe. Of course it's a circus performance.

We have many excellent actors and props, and most of them are tourists who have not passed the test.

How about it, are you interested in taking a look?

The clown said, manipulating the silk thread to hand over a black and gold invitation.

The invitation was made of metal and exuded a strong aura of depravity. Holding it in your hand, you could faintly hear the sound of wailing and crying.

Zhu Zhengqian smiled and rejected the clown's proposal.

If you don't mind, Mr. Clown, I'd like to know two things.

First, there is news about challengers and what is the difference between challengers and normal tourists.

Second, I want to know about you, Mr. Clown.

Information about challengers and normal tourists was obtained through [Yog-Sothoth's Guide].

Unfortunately, the number of sacrifices is insufficient and higher level pointers cannot be opened.

Zhu Zheng only knew a general situation.

That is, the hotel is the stopping point for tourists, and the circus is the supply place for challengers.

The purpose of the clown's existence is to select so-called challengers from normal tourists.

Of course, if you don't pass the Joker's challenge.

For example, if Zhu Zheng steps on the path behind the green belt in ignorance, there is a high probability that he will encounter danger and eventually become an actor or prop in the circus.

The ending must be worse than death.

After understanding this information, Zhu Zheng decisively chose the circus.

Existence must be reasonable.

It must be meaningful for Nyarlathotep to allow the so-called 'circus' and 'challengers' to appear in the amusement park.

He was curious about the 'Challenger'.

The clown's face was redrawn with an exaggerated expression.

I originally wanted to tell you this information, but I didn't expect you to know so much. Could it be that an actor escaped and leaked this information?

Forget it, the investigation work will continue, I will tell you this information first, just treat it as a reward for this bottle of drink.

Actually, challengers are also a type of tourists...

Different from the normal tourists' clearance methods, challengers can use their own methods to 'jailbreak', and I will provide certain support.

Zhu Zheng was stunned: If you collect the amusement stamps from the three theme parks, wouldn't you be able to leave successfully?

Hehe. Innocence.

I have been in the amusement park for so long and I have never seen a tourist leave the amusement park successfully and completely.

Even if you follow the rules and complete the collection of designated theme park seals.

After the establishment of Naiya Amusement Park, tourists have been attracted here to challenge the amusement projects.

However, all these tourists failed!

The ending is either death or becoming a new 'NPC' in the amusement park.

However, there are still a small number of tourists who record their experiences for posterity, hoping that those who come after them will not repeat the same mistakes.

Gradually, a consensus formed among the tourists who obtained the suicide note.

The amusement park is a prison!

There was no way anyone could escape the amusement park!

The Joker is a solid advocate of this point of view.

So the clown decided to 'escape' from the amusement park in his own way.

The process is unexpected, but the outcome is obvious.

The Joker failed.

However, the clown's behavior made Nyarlathotep discover the fun.

He deliberately preserved the life of the clown, transformed him into an NPC like a fallen creature, and gave it a new mission.

Establish a circus, select challengers from tourists, tell the ‘truth’, and provide necessary support to help challengers escape from the amusement park by their own means.

The author of [Real Grimoire] is also a challenger.

Zhu Zheng sighed.

I have to say, this operation is very Naiya.

What Nyarlathotep values ​​is not the amusement park itself. To him, it is just a tool.

What he values ​​is the ‘viewing pleasure’ that the amusement park brings to him.

After all, the ‘confrontation’ between tourists and the rules of the amusement park is more interesting to a certain extent.

After knowing all about it.

Zhu Zheng looked at the clown: Mr. clown, what help can you provide me?

A loan deed.

As he spoke, the [Loan Contract to Fund Challengers Escape from the Amusement Park] prepared in advance was placed on the table.

Once signed, you can borrow any amount of coupons from me for consumption in the mall.

If you can escape from Naija Amusement Park, all the loans you have made will be wiped out.

Of course, if you fail, then you will join the circus and 'perform' to earn points to repay.

Zhu Zheng picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Zheng spoke again: Once I accept this agreement, do I have to escape from the amusement park as a challenger?

Hehe. Of course not, you can use any method or method, as long as you leave the amusement park.

Deal, take me to the shopping mall first. Zhu Zheng said with his usual expression.

Under the leadership of the clown, Zhu Zheng entered the mall.

The shopping mall in the amusement park is actually no different from an ordinary large supermarket. The lights are bright and there is a row of shelves in the middle of the venue.

The only difference is that the supermarket is deserted and there are no other tourists.

Zhu was walking around the mall.

The mall is roughly divided into three areas.

1. Daily necessities area, where there are many household appliances, clothes, kitchen supplies and other items.

Second, the food and beverage area has a dazzling array of shelves with many foods and beverages.

Third, the magical items area is filled with light groups of various colors, and magical items of different sizes, shapes, and functions are placed in the light groups.

The above two areas are almost consistent with reality, and require very few points.

Basically, you can buy a shopping cart with 1 coupon.

In the third area, the prices of items are very high and there is a specified number of purchases.

“With your passport in hand, you can receive a souvenir for free or buy a magical item at a deep discount.”

Also, as a challenger receiving a loan, you can purchase an additional magical item.

It means you have two opportunities to buy, cherish it, little girl.

Zhu Zheng nodded.

Ignoring the first two areas, he wandered directly into the magical items area.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a shelf.

The Midnight Butcher's Skull Crusher.
