The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC

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

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

I don't know how long it took, when there was an owl's call outside, he opened his eyes and glanced at the time, it was three o'clock. All the live footage was like stills, and everyone in the villa was asleep.

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

"I've already found it over there, and I'm on my way here." The other end of the phone said carelessly.

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

He hung up the phone and looked at one of the live videos. Then he picked up the remote control and didn't know where to press it. The black screen in the center lit up, and a middle-aged woman appeared in the video, although her eyes The tail has some wrinkles, but it 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 filming. There's no seasoning at home, I'll go out and buy some."

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

"Okay." The woman left the shooting range, and then came 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 a game change yesterday, many players didn't sleep well last night, and they were a little sluggish when they woke up in the morning.

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

"Why are you so early today?" asked the second player who came down.

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

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

The contestant nodded understandingly: "Yesterday was quite thrilling."

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

The envelope that used to be on time on the long table 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 also changed."

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

The players who came down after that 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 powerful. They are either their own jobs related to this, or they are detective game enthusiasts, and they are all confident: as long as they have the strength, they can get high scores regardless of the type of question.

The players assembled within fifteen minutes, and then the waiter came up with the breakfast cart.

"You seem to have noticed today's changes, yes, starting from today, our game mode needs to change slightly. However, in order to bring the greatest degree of surprise, I can't say more about the specific content here. Start with your breakfast first. Bar."

"Is the owner of this voice still in a good mood today?" Ren Yifei forked a bun, thoughtfully. Yesterday, the person in charge was in a good mood because he took away another goal. Why is it today?

This "pleasure" is frightening.

"Why do you look... listless today?" The opponent on the opposite side was a little strange. In the past, Ren Yifei's breakfast made people feel sour stomach and drooling, but today is unusually calm.

"No appetite today." Ren Yifei said.

Today's breakfast was exceptionally rich, but he had no appetite. Probably because of an indescribable ominous premonition, he couldn't devote himself to eating.

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

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

He felt very sleepy, there were double images in front of him, and his brain said 'go to sleep'. But reason told him that he should not 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 pull out the chair. Ren Yifei kept his composure, he smiled at the waiter, and walked past him quickly.

This smile was maintained until entering the bathroom, and all eyes were blocked along with the little flies.

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

He was drugged. Judging from the physical reaction, it was a tranquilizer, similar to Valium or Zaanor. Maybe this is a program effect, like the elimination of the players, the event party needs them to be unconscious and unconscious.

But Ren Yifei hates this, he doesn'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 bathroom door again, Ren Yifei was the smiling contestant again. The strong incense in the bathroom covered up the sour smell left after vomiting.

At this time, the players at the table had 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, and the food was still in front of him.

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

About thirty minutes into the breakfast, the ingested medicines began to take effect. One after another contestant couldn't hold back their sleepiness and fell asleep.

The players realized that something was wrong, but their bodies betrayed their will, and they fell on the long table one by one. Ren Yifei mingled in it, and it was inconspicuous.

The live broadcast bracelet is put away, the live broadcast flies fall, and the live broadcast is suspended, the same process as when the players are eliminated.

"Shhh, be quiet." The voice came out again, but this time it wasn't on the radio, it was in person.

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

Ren Yifei closed his eyes and slowed his breathing. He felt that he was being carried like a sack. Then they were thrown into the car.

His hands and feet were tied with ropes, and a paper bag was placed over his head. He was already in a state of being kidnapped.

In addition, his clothes pockets were also carefully inspected, and his mobile phone, watch, keys, and facial tissue from his pockets were all taken away.

The player was in a coma, and the live broadcast was interrupted. The audience in the live broadcast room thought there was a live broadcast accident. They called the police, saying that the show had made a major mistake.

However, the police station has already asked the program team, and the other party told them that this was a carefully planned event.

This tactic has been used in many foreign programs, such as gimmicks such as "live broadcast murder", or "live broadcast terror". So this explanation is accepted here, and this explanation is communicated to those disturbed audiences.

Viewers were skeptical, but luckily, the live broadcast started again after fifteen minutes.

Those players who passed out at breakfast showed up in an unthinkable place, a murder scene.

Yes, one player and one murder scene, each scene is arranged exactly the same, even the angle of the light source outside the window is exactly the same.

And there was also a uniformed police officer standing at the scene of these murders, they were responsible for pushing the player to wake up, and then telling him about his current situation.

The players woke up in a daze. They found themselves lying on the bed, smelling a strong smell of blood on their noses, and turned their heads to see a dead female corpse beside them.

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

"Ahhhh-"

"Good morning, sir and ma'am."

When the players calmed down a little, the police officer npc greeted them politely and told them some unfortunate news: the woman who spent the spring night with him and her yesterday died on the bed and was brutally killed.

A huge question mark appeared over the players' heads.

The police officer went on to say that because the room was locked into a secret room, the contestant himself was the biggest suspect. Unless he finds evidence that he is not before the sun goes down, he will be taken directly.

So, the new rules of the game are: don't leave this room and prove that you are not the murderer based on the existing clues.

After speaking, the police officer gave the contestant 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 the evidence points to him, and even he himself suspects that he is the murderer.

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

If the male players didn't react in the dream, the female players woke up instantly: "Spend the spring night together? Who is with 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 woke up. They understood the cause and result, and almost laughed: It's okay to arrange for 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 neither logical nor reasonable, but the event party wants to design this way, what can they do?

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

"Before five-thirty to be exact."

He picked up his mobile phone to check the time. At eight o'clock, he had nine hours: "You must prove that you are not the murderer, that is to say, you are not required to find the murderer?"

"Yes."

Ren Yifei looked around for a week. This request sounded simple, but it was not easy to do. The word "Secret Room" was enough for him to toss for a long time.

"Because the previous games were no longer difficult for players, is there such an event? I don't know how the audience's reaction will be."

"It's exciting! It's so exciting! The event is well done!"

"Is this going too far? The players are not prepared at all. What should I do if they are scared out?"

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

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

In the outside world, this form of variety show has aroused heated discussions, more audiences have been attracted, and the number of live broadcast rooms has once again soared.

The person in charge of the event in the attic smiled as he watched the soaring popularity, flipping coins on his fingertips, and saying to himself, "If this is true, will they still find it exciting?"
