In an escape game...

After breakfast, the butler arranged for the players to visit the puppet town.

After going out, Yun Xubai finally saw the whole picture of the mansion.The mansion uses a lot of wood, and the facade is carved with dense puppet reliefs, which are of different shapes, span multiple ages, and are closely connected.These reliefs are painted with bright paint, colorful and very dreamy.

The puppets are vivid and cute at first glance, but Yun Xubai always feels that something is wrong.

He scanned again and found that the eyes of these puppets were facing the same direction, looking down at the people in front of the door.

The players were all observing the puppets on the building, and the butler introduced at the right time: "The works on the puppet mansion are jointly completed by dozens of the best puppet masters in the town. The one in the middle is the best puppeteer in the town for hundreds of years. puppeteer, we affectionately call him Father... Grandpa Wu."

The butler, who was as perfect as a robot, actually made a slip of the tongue, Yun Xubai really wanted to know what words the butler left behind, but unfortunately there is no chance now.

Yun Xubai looked at the wall again. Above the door, there was a picture of a gray-haired old man with presbyopic glasses. He was carving a puppet head, surrounded by many children.This old man is Grandpa Wu as the housekeeper said.

"What's the name of this work?" Yun Xubai asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper glanced at Yun Xubai, and quickly lowered his eyes: "This work is called 'Birth'."

With this name, the meaning of the relief suddenly changed. Grandpa Wu seemed to be giving life to the puppet, and the puppet was about to leave the wall and become a real person.

"The sightseeing bus is ready. The center of the town is not big, so the visiting time won't be long." The butler invited the players to get on the bus.

The appearance of the sightseeing car is a small train, painted in warm red, the number of positions is the same as the number of players, there are several puppets on the front of the car and decorative seats, with exaggerated smiles on their faces.

"Please sit down, the sightseeing bus to the world of fairy tales is about to start!" The driver, wearing a big red bow tie, has a very lively body language, like a character running out of a children's animation.

The small train made a rumbling sound and ran forward along the railroad tracks on the ground at a not slow speed, and the scenery on the street passed by in a hurry.

The architecture of the puppet town is rich in color and cute in shape, and puppet works can be seen everywhere.After entering the main street, the speed of the sightseeing car slowed down, and the pedestrians on the street would greet the players enthusiastically.

Shuttle among them, there is indeed a feeling of breaking into the fairy tale world.

[Travel with the copy?It was so weird at the beginning, but now it is so relaxed and dreamy, it makes me a little confused]

[Do you think these puppets are potential monsters, still feel dreamy? ]

[...It should be fine in broad daylight, suddenly become cowardly]

This dungeon is completely different from the full-level dungeon Yun Xubai imagined, at least not very urgent or dangerous for now.But the thorns of the gods have been tense all the time, as if they have already seen through the essence of the calm.

Next to Yun Xubai, sat a miniature puppet woman.It is wearing a white wedding dress, and its lifelike face is facing Yun Xubai with a happy smile.

Yun Xubai didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after about 10 minutes, he noticed that the puppet woman's movements had changed.It raised its hands on its knees in front of its chest, making a gesture of heart.

Yun Xubai: "..."

The butler introduced the situation of the puppet town along the way, and when the sightseeing car turned into the alley, he asked the driver to stop.

The players got out of the car one after another. When leaving their seats, Yun Xubai heard a weak but clear female voice: "Stay with me, okay?"

Yun Xubai glanced at the puppet woman next to the seat, it changed its posture at some point, and clasped its hands together, which seemed to be praying.The smile on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth drooped unhappily.

Yun Xubai looked away and got out of the car.

"I wish all the distinguished guests an unforgettable memory in Puppet Town." The driver took off his hat and drove away in the sightseeing car.

Yun Xubai suddenly thought of something, and looked after the sightseeing car.The sightseeing car just turned and passed in front of him, and he found that the puppets on it had disappeared!

"This is the most important sightseeing spot today, the puppet hall." The butler's voice pulled back Yun Xubai's thoughts, and he was introducing the building in front of him: "The puppet hall is the most popular place in the town. The most perfect work in the past few years, embodies the painstaking efforts of generations of puppeteers in the puppet town. Today there is a puppet show, and after the performance, the sightseeing car will come to pick up the distinguished guests back to the mansion."

The puppet hall is a red and white three-story building with a pointed and high roof, somewhat like a castle.There are welcome puppets standing on both sides of the door, and the machine clumsily bends over to the customer, making a blunt electronic voice: "Welcome to the puppet hall."

The alley is small, but there are many people visiting the puppet hall.There are also vendors selling balloons and flowers in front of the puppet hall, which is very lively.

"This is a VIP card. Please be sure to wear it, all distinguished guests. It represents your identity and can give you more convenience." The butler took out some ID cards that could be hung around the neck from the document bag and distributed them to everyone.

Yun Xubai looked at the VIP card he just got, which had his one-inch ID photo printed on it.He didn't put it in his pocket like the others, but hung it neatly around his neck.

The players knew in their hearts that this puppet hall was not as childlike and harmless as it appeared on the surface, so they put away their thoughts of sightseeing.

When stepping into the puppet hall, the welcome puppets on both sides bow to the players and send out crude electronic greetings.When it was the steward's turn, they bowed almost ninety degrees, with a particularly respectful attitude.

Yun Xubai was right behind the butler, and the puppet bowed like a superficial bow, but it also exuded strong malice.

It's a blatant double standard.

Pausing slightly, Yun Xubai looked up at the welcome puppet on the right.It didn't straighten up, but kept a slightly bowed posture, staring at Yun Xubai motionlessly, with its red mouth grinning to the back of its head.

At this moment, the puppet's sallow face suddenly became fleshy, and it turned its eyeballs to look behind Yun Xubai, and a gleam of red light flashed across the eyes.

This look seems to be staring at something behind Yun Xubai.Yun Xubai's back felt cold, and he really felt a little heavy on his back.

"Xubai, what's the matter?" Seeing Yun Xubai stopped, the god Thorn asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The welcome puppet has long since returned to normal, with no malicious smiles or weird behaviors.

Yun Xubai pretended not to notice any abnormality, and said casually: "No problem, I just saw that this puppet is well-made, we are distinguished guests, if you ask the butler, you should give it to me."

The god Thorn blinked: "If you ask, I will definitely give it to you, but these puppets are so evil, why do you want to come?"

Yun Xubai looked serious and said: "Light the fire, I don't know how many days it can be burned if it is chopped into firewood."

The god Thorn heard that he was deliberately scaring the puppet, and couldn't help laughing: "It's true that the place we live in is very humid, and the fire should be much dry and comfortable. Let's go, let's ask the housekeeper for the puppet."

The welcome puppet paused, the smile on its face froze and stiffened, and its voice was out of control, as if it was about to cry.

The puppets here are very good at creating illusions, making people doubt themselves, so Yun Xubai will cooperate with their performances.

Anyway, he also has the title of "Uncrowned Best Actor", so it's not sure who will play who.

[Let's be fooled, you dare to scare brother Xu, npc double standards will be bullied by players! ]

[Use a puppet to light a fire to keep warm, that’s why Brother Xu had this bold idea hahaha]

[Welcome puppet: Can't laugh jpg.]

When the two entered the puppet hall, they could still hear the muffled voices of the welcoming puppets.

The tense nerves of the gods were inexplicably relaxed, and he teased Yun Xubai: "You have to bully even the welcome doorman."

Yun Xubai said: "Playing with npcs is my pleasure in playing this game."

"Playing games..." God Thorn breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes and smiled: "You are right, this is just a game after all, I should adjust my mentality, and just play it if I feel comfortable."

God Thorn really let go of his knots now. The previous two failures left a shadow on God Thorn, making him forget the original intention of playing the game, and he was bound in a cocoon.

Yun Xubai's words made the god Thorn understand. It is good to have goals, but goals should not be a heavy burden.Enjoying the moment, carpe diem is also good.

The interior area of ​​the puppet hall is large enough, even if there are many audiences, it will not be crowded.

This is like a combination of a museum and a wax museum. There are not only materials introducing the history of the puppet town's changes, but also exquisite hand-made puppets.

The more you go to the back, the more exquisite the puppets are, almost to the point of being fake.Through a layer of cold glass, Yun Xubai had the illusion that he was looking at an exhibition of corpse specimens.

The god Thorn stopped in front of a display cabinet and looked at the puppet inside: "This is too human-like, even with skin texture, and it seems to be elastic. Xubai, do you think this is a puppet or a corpse?"

The god Thorn didn't get an answer, and when he looked back, there was no one behind him.

Not only Yun Xubai, everyone disappeared.

In the empty exhibition hall, there are only puppets sealed in glass showcases.A gust of cold wind blew by, and the god Thorn sneezed: "It's this routine again."

On the other side, Yun Xubai also encountered the same situation.

When he stopped, he found that his teammates and NPCs had disappeared, the door of the puppet hall was closed, and the lights were as dim as a funeral scene.

The VIP card around his neck was still there, Yun Xubai guessed that he had fallen into a hallucination, or was dragged into a small space, and he had to find a loophole to leave.

"Brother Xu." A cold female voice sounded behind him, Yun Xubai turned around and saw He Xue standing at the corner.

He Xue's hair color, eye color, and skin color are lighter than ordinary people's. She has an expressionless face all year round, standing there like a ghost: "I thought there was no one there. It seems that we are trapped in the same place."

The appearance, expression and voice are all exactly the same as He Xue's, there is no difference at all.However, after experiencing the incident last night, no matter who is standing in front of him now, Yun Xubai cannot fully trust him.

He Xue frowned, and walked towards Yun Xubai: "Brother Xu, what are you thinking?"

Yun Xubai saw a mirror device not far away, and walked over there: "Let's go find other teammates."

The mirror is a good thing in this instance.
