Treacherous Collector

Chapter 31 The Mysterious Chessboard
"Brother Jiang, Brother Xie! Come and see, there is a chessboard in the bar!"

Lu You ran behind the counter and looked in the direction of Lu Hao's finger. A chessboard came into view. There were two buttons on the far right side of the chessboard, one up and one down.

Lu You stretched out his hand to touch the two buttons, and saw the chessboard flipped quickly, and the structure of the board was adjusted to form a floor plan of the shopping mall.

Han Yang looked at the rules of the game on the bar and read out:
"5. Please take good care of your chessboard. If the chessboard is lost for more than 10 minutes, the whole team will be eliminated."

"6. Touch the up and down keys on the chessboard to cut out the floor, and the game is deemed to have started. Please take turns throwing dice to determine the number of steps to take, and complete the corresponding tasks."

Here, Lu You also noticed the dice next to the chessboard and the villain standing on the chessboard.

Why is this dice a bit like the collection called Devil's Dice?
"7. When throwing the dice, please let the dice fall within the sensing area of ​​the chessboard. The villain will move automatically after throwing. If it falls outside the sensor, the throwing will be invalid."

"8. If you need to use your own light source, please make sure that the brightness is lower than the low brightness of the screen brightness of the mobile phone. If it is greater than this brightness, your life will be in danger."

"9. If you suffer any trauma in the mall, please always remember that you are human, not zombies or monsters like zombies."

"10. The sensing area will only start to work when the chessboard is calibrated to minus 2 floors. The ultimate goal of the game is to allow the villains to complete each floor, and the first group to complete the game can leave the mall alive."

"11. Any task described as a single-person task can be accompanied by a member of the group. As a punishment, the accompanying member must be the next in line to roll the dice."

"12. There are no ghosts in this world."

"Have a nice game."

After everyone listened thoughtfully, Lu You stroked his beard, which was too short to be seen, and pressed the button twice, and the chessboard was flipped again, turning into the floor plan of the underground garage.

A line of small characters appeared on the board: the corresponding task will appear on the back of the board, please do not try to move the villain manually.

"Let me introduce myself, Han Yang, a native of Suicheng, a Sanda coach, and a provincial champion before."

"My name is Xie Changming, id electronic sheep, private detective."

Xie Changming sat on the side, seemingly not intending to tell the truth.

Lu You burst out laughing, and took over the conversation:

"As for me, my name is Lu You, from Jinling, and I'm a sophomore in college now."

"Wow, you're not called Jiangnan? Brother! It's a shame I've called you Brother Jiang for so long."

Lu Hao showed a surprised expression.

"My id is CocoTak. I'm a sophomore in high school this year. My real name is Lu Hao. I like to explore. You can bring me with you when you do missions!"

The blind man who was silent for a long time also spoke:

"Li Diao (diao) 忈 (ren) is a diao not a diaoren, although the homophonic stalk is very interesting, but I would like everyone to call me by my full name. I am a Tarot master, a part-time psychiatrist, and a native of Suicheng .”

Lu You couldn't hold back his laughter again, how could someone really call him a hanger, hahahahahahahaha.

"Okay, who's going first?"

Lu Hao volunteered to raise his hand and jumped up happily:

"I, I, I come!"

Then he grabbed the dice, rolled it a few times with his eyes closed, threw it up, and dropped it.

It's four o'clock.

After the dice landed on the sensing area, there was a sound of wooden gears colliding inside the chessboard, and then the villain jumped four steps and stopped in the grid marked "Canon Car Wash".

Lu Hao took down the dice, turned over the board, and some words appeared on the back:
"Mandatory single-player mission: The owner of the car wash shop lost his car key, please help him find it in the store. Note: Mandatory single-player missions cannot be accompanied."

"I can't accompany you. Hehe, I'm a little nervous."

Lu Hao took the flashlight and set off. The people who stayed inside began to explore around. Han Yang fumbled to turn on the lights in the convenience store.

"Hey? Why is this lamp still working?"

Xie Changming was puzzled.

Sitting behind the bar, Lu You took out his black laptop and held the chocolate bar that was on the bar just now.

After skillfully opening the museum management system, an exclamation point popped up on the task interface.

Detected that you are in the "Deadly Game" mission and now loads the mission description for you.

Mission - Deadly Game:

Greed is one of the indispensable natures of human beings.

Greed has haunted human history like a ghost for thousands of years.

In the game of fighting for life, is the participant really a white rabbit that is harmless to humans and animals?
If it's just a job fair, why has no one ever questioned the setting of "game"?
From the initial test to the present, the recruiter has been giving settings such as "tasks" and "games". If you are just an applicant, would you want to let a game decide whether you will stay or not?

That seems unlikely, don't you think?
Lu You suddenly realized, it's not like he didn't suspect that the boss of the shopping mall took one detective and one game, why no one questioned, dare these guys come to play games voluntarily!

Dare they know from the beginning that they will be locked up in Liwan Square?

Lu You couldn't help feeling a little scared, it turned out that he was the one who was kept in the dark.

He continued to look at the computer, and the mission objective was displayed on the screen:

"Mission Objective 1: Survive, survive in this game"

"Mission objective 2: Find the real demon dice among the six dice and bring it back to the exhibition hall"

"Six pieces??? Is this not the real thing?"

"What real and fake products, show me."

When the blind man spoke, Lu You was really taken aback. It turned out that this man had been standing by Lu You's side since just now.

"It's nothing, I suddenly remembered the jade pendant I bought before."

The blind man chuckled twice, and walked away wisely.

"Mission Objective 3: Uncover the secret of Liwan Square, **********, and escape successfully."

"The asterisk part can be unlocked by completing the pre-tasks"

"Mission Reward: Yangshou × 20 days, Spirit Coin × 100, Collection: Devil's Dice, Collection: Clothes of the Hidden God"

"You have obtained the collection: Cloak of God's Hidden, this collection can block the perception of low-level fog monsters, allowing you to achieve the purpose of invisibility"

Lu You dug out the torn clothes from his bag, thinking to himself, this thing is not that high-end anyway.
