The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC

The night is getting deeper, the moon is hidden, only the stars are blinking.

The person in charge sat in a chair, waiting for the call.

After an unknown amount of time, the cry of an owl came from outside. He opened his eyes and glanced at the time. It was three o'clock.All the live footage is like a still picture, and everyone in the villa is asleep.

The phone vibrated slightly, and he picked it up: "Hello?"

"It's been found over there, and it's on the way here." There was a nonsense voice on the other end of the phone.

The person in charge seemed to have expected it long ago. He said, "Give me a few days. Continue to promote it over there. I want more people to see this program."

He hung up the phone and looked at one of the live video, then he picked up the remote control and pressed it somewhere, the black screen in the center lit up, and a middle-aged woman appeared in the video, although her eyes The tail has been slightly wrinkled, but still looks beautiful and gentle.

The person in charge's eyes curled up, and a sad smile appeared on his face.

The woman looked in the direction of the camera and said with a smile, "Okay, stop taking pictures. I don't have any seasoning at home. I'll go out and buy some."

"Mom, bring me an ice cream, milk flavored, topped with chocolate." There was a voice outside the video, very similar to the person in charge, only younger and more lively.

"Okay." The woman left the shooting range, and then there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and the screen returned to darkness again.

Early the next morning.

Because of the sudden announcement of changing the rules of the game yesterday, many players didn't sleep well last night, and they were a little depressed when they woke up in the morning.

On the contrary, Ren Yifei, who was frightened yesterday, unexpectedly woke up early today, and was the first to go downstairs after washing up.

"Why are you so early today?" asked the second player to come down.

Because Ren Yifei held a glass of steaming warm water in his hand, and there was only a little shallow water left in the transparent double-layer glass, so he asked this question.

"Thinking about what happened last night, I woke up early in the morning."

The contestant nodded in understanding: "Yesterday was quite thrilling."

"Huh?" After sitting down, the contestant realized something was wrong, "Where's the envelope?"

The envelope that always appeared on the long table on time in the past is not there today, and the table is empty.Ren Yifei drank the last bit of warm water: "Since the rules of the game have been changed, maybe even the way of giving clues has changed."

This player also thought about it: "I really don't know what type of game it will be."

The contestants who came down afterwards also noticed the disappearance of the envelope, but like Ren Yifei, they all felt that this was a 'change' and there was no need to make a fuss.

Those who can stay until now are all capable. They either have a job related to this, or they are detective game enthusiasts. They are full of confidence: as long as they have strength, they can get high scores no matter how the question type is changed.

The players assembled within 15 minutes, and the waiter came up with the breakfast trolley.

"You seem to have discovered today's changes. Yes, starting today, our game mode needs to be slightly changed. However, in order to bring the greatest surprise, I won't say more about the specific content here. Let's enjoy your breakfast first Bar."

"Is the owner of this voice still in a good mood today?" Ren Yifei picked up a small bun, thoughtfully.The person in charge was in a good mood yesterday because he took away another target, why today?

This 'pleasure' is frightening.

"Why do you look... listless today?" The contestant on the opposite side was a little strange. In the past, when Ren Yifei had breakfast, he would feel his stomach acid surging and his saliva dripping, but today he was unusually calm.

"I don't have much appetite today." Ren Yifei said.

Today's breakfast was extremely rich, but he didn't have much appetite, probably because he had an indescribable sense of foreboding, so he couldn't fully devote himself to eating.

After eating two pieces of bread, he put down his chopsticks and prepared to drink some water.However, his brain was sending strange signals, and he began to feel a little sleepy.

Even if he stayed up all night on the first day, he would not feel sleepy when eating breakfast on the second day. Ren Yifei immediately looked at the plate, bread, fried eggs, soy milk, deep-fried dough sticks, fruit... Among them, the plate on which the bread was placed was already half empty.

He felt very sleepy, with double images in front of his eyes, and his brain said 'go to sleep'.But reason told him that he shouldn't feel sleepy at this time.

"I'm going to the bathroom." He said to the waiter behind him.

The waiter stepped back a little and helped to pull out the chair.Ren Yifei remained calm, he smiled at the waiter, and quickly walked past him.

This smile was maintained until entering the bathroom, where all sights were blocked out together with the little flies.

Ren Yifei immediately induced vomiting. He didn't know if it would be effective at this time, but it was better than doing nothing.

He was drugged. Judging from his physical reaction, it was a tranquilizer, similar to Valium or Xanax.Perhaps this is a program effect, like the exit of the eliminated, and the event party needs these contestants to be comatose and unconscious.

But Ren Yifei hated this, he didn't like the feeling of losing control.

He spit out all the food he ate, and then made some small preparations.

When he opened the door of the bathroom again, Ren Yifei was the contestant with a smile on his face again. The rich incense in the bathroom covered up the sour smell left after vomiting.

At this time, the contestants at the table had already eaten a lot of food, their eyelids began to fight, and they began to yawn.But because many people didn't sleep well last night, they didn't care.

Ren Yifei sat down, the food was still in front of him.

Those medicines may be added to the soy milk after being ground, or may be sprinkled on the surface of the food, so he reached for the banana and began to peel it.

Breakfast lasted for about 10 minutes, and the medicines ingested began to take effect, and one player after another couldn't hold back the drowsiness and fell asleep.

The contestants realized something was wrong, but their bodies betrayed their wills, and one by one they still fell on the long table.Ren Yifei mingled among them, unremarkable.

The live broadcast bracelet was put away, the live broadcast small flies landed, and the live broadcast was paused, the process was the same as when the players were eliminated.

"Hush, be quiet." The voice appeared again, but this time it was not the radio, but the person himself.

A pair of black boots flashed past the corner of Ren Yifei's sight, and he immediately closed his eyes.

Ren Yifei closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing. He felt himself being lifted up like a sack.Then they were thrown into the car.

His hands and feet were tied up with ropes, and a paper bag was placed over his head. He was completely kidnapped.

In addition, his clothing pockets were also carefully checked, and his mobile phone, watch, keys, and tissues in his pockets were all taken away.

The contestant fell into a coma, and the live broadcast was interrupted. The audience in the live broadcast room thought that there was a live broadcast accident, and they called the police, saying that there was a major mistake in the program.

However, the police department has already asked about this program group, and the other party told them that this was a carefully planned, and the reason for not notifying it was to increase the sense of reality and make the audience feel interactive.

This trick has been used by many foreign programs, such as gimmicks such as 'live broadcast murder', or 'live broadcast horror'.So this explanation is accepted here, and this explanation is communicated to those disturbed viewers.

Viewers were skeptical, but fortunately, the live broadcast started again 15 minutes later.

The contestants who passed out at breakfast turned up in an unthinkable place, a murder scene.

Yes, one contestant has one murder scene, and each scene is decorated exactly the same, even the angle of the light source outside the window is exactly the same.

Moreover, there was a police officer in uniform standing at the scene of these murders. They were responsible for waking up the player and then telling him about his current situation.

The contestants woke up in a daze. They found themselves lying on the bed with a strong smell of blood in their noses. When they turned their heads, they saw a dead female corpse next to them.

"..." The female corpse looked at him, and he also looked at the female corpse

"Ahhhh-"

"Good morning, sir and madam."

When the contestants calmed down a bit, the police officer NPC greeted them politely, and told them a sad news: the woman who spent the spring night with him yesterday died on the bed, and was brutally murdered.

A huge question mark rose above the players' heads.

The police officer went on to say that because the room was locked into a secret room, the player himself was the biggest suspect.Unless he finds proof he's not before the sun goes down, he'll be taken straight away.

Therefore, the new rules of the game are: do not leave this room, and according to the existing clues, prove that you are not the murderer.

After speaking, the police officer gave the players new ID cards, mobile phones, various other documents and keys.

The contestants are no longer detective assistants outside the case. In this game, they have to play an NPC with short-term amnesia who is involved in a murder case. All evidence points to him, and even he himself suspects that he is the murderer.

In this case, he wants to find evidence that he is not the murderer.

If the male contestants didn't realize it in the dream, the female contestants woke up instantly: "Spend the spring night together? Who and whom?"

Of course, they quickly realized that their 'identity' at the moment should be a man.

"So 'I' myself is actually a part of the clue?"

After wiping their faces, the contestants finally came to their senses. They understood the cause and effect of the incident, and almost laughed: It's fine to arrange them to share the bed with the corpse, but let the biggest suspect find evidence to prove that he is not the murderer?

"Ok."

This operation is both illogical and unreasonable, but the event party designed it this way, what can they do?

"One day?" Ren Yifei rubbed his temples and sat up.

"To be precise, before 05:30."

He picked up his phone to check the time. At eight o'clock, he had nine hours: "I have to prove that I am not the murderer, that is to say, it is not required to find the murderer?"

"Yes."

Ren Yifei looked around, this request sounds simple, but it is not easy to implement, the word secret room is enough for him to toss for a long time.

"Because the previous games were not too difficult for the players, is there such an event? I don't know how the audience will react."

"Exciting! Exciting! The event team did a great job!"

"Is this too much? The contestants are not prepared at all, what should they do if they are frightened?"

"There were no real casualties, and there was too much fuss upstairs."

For this sudden 'kidnapping' incident, except for a few people who expressed discomfort, most of the audience accepted it well, and they even called for more exciting and thrilling ones.

In the outside world, this variety show format has already caused heated discussions, attracting more viewers, and the number of people in the live broadcast room has once again soared.

The person in charge of the activity in the attic watched the soaring heat with a smile. His fingertips were flipping coins, and he said to himself: "If this is true, will they still find it exciting?"
