Infinite weird games

Room 6 is Dong Xiwen's room. The players also found no new clues after tearing apart the wallpaper.

Dong Xiwen explained: "I found the fragmentary page of the first act of the script on my desk and just left it there. I almost suspected that this copy was insulting my IQ."

Qisi nodded and looked at the desk in the corner of the room: "Dong Xiwen, I feel that the form of the ghost corresponding to your room is probably related to writing. It's best to stay away from that desk later."

Dong Xiwen honestly didn't expect Qisi to have such a kind intention. In his opinion, if there was a way to clear the level by killing other people, this murderous comrade would definitely implement it without hesitation.

What are you doing? Unleash kindness? Pretend to be a good person?

Seeing Dong Xiwen's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, Qisi just smiled casually, said "Let's go first", then walked out the door and returned to his room.

He leaned against the door and listened to the footsteps of the players scattering. He expected that everyone had gone back to their respective rooms, so he turned the door handle again and pushed the door open.

There was no one on the stage, and only the neon light and shadow shone on the shiny and reflective floor from all angles, making the whole scene a bright light and blurring the line of sight.

At a certain moment, you can see the dark shadow hidden by the light spot, but it just flashes by and then disappears, making it unclear.

Zeiss walked straight to Room 6.

From the end of the first act, he had a vague hunch that this copy was not simple.

Facing complex copies, you will either kill other players or mess up the situation...

…

In Room 6, after everyone left, Dong Xiwen took out a black card from his pocket.

[Character Card-Audience]

[Description: He is an uninvited guest, breaking into the stage where the actors perform the story from outside the door; he makes no sound, peeks in from the side, comments, and gives rich feedback and emotions. He seems to have more opportunities to know the whole story, and he seems to be in the game, troubled by the playwright's narrative tricks. 】

[Effects: 1. "Progress bar" - you can see the progress of the script;

2. "Alternate World" - You and the actors are not in the same dimension and cannot take physical damage from them. 】

This is the card Dong Xiwen picked up after entering Room 5.

At that time, the moment he crossed the threshold, he seemed to have entered a parallel time and space. The surrounding scenes were very familiar, but different from what he remembered.

He attended his younger brother's school at the same time as a senior.

Pictures fly before your eyes, accompanied by narration explaining the background, as if you are playing a text simulation game. But in Dong Xiwen's eyes, every scene was so real. When he saw his brother's smiling face, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

A voice whispered in his ear:

"Those bullies haven't attacked Xiao Wen yet, but you know their appearance clearly. Kill them so that Xiao Wen won't die."

"They are all guilty. Trying them for future crimes in advance can save the victims before they happen. This is a just move. Why do you have any hesitation?"

Dong Xiwen raised his head and saw his sin.

It was a huge black scale suspended above the head, casting a shadow that could almost cover the entire city. There were ghostly shadows underneath, which did not appear solemn and sacred, but rather strange and terrifying.

[Ghost name: Judgment Scale]

[Corresponding player: Dong Xiwen]

[Description: A giant scale that is keen to force humans to make choices between justice and evil. It will set up difficult-to-choose situations to test humanity and kill those who answer wrongly. What is the correct answer? No one knows, maybe it doesn't know, ha, ha, ha. 】

【……】

Dong Xiwen was held up by a force and flew into the sky.

The character card was placed safely in the center of the scale. After he landed, he bent down and picked it up. Then he learned from the system prompt that he was the fourth character to "know his fate."

"So I am actually an audience member? No, Charlie said that all of us are both actors and audiences. How come this identity is only mentioned? Hey! The playwright couldn't think of words when he designed the character card, right? ?" Dong Xiwen said in a complaining tone, and couldn't help but think of the opening of the copy.

He was the only one who entered the dungeon scene from outside the door, and he was always out of focus, playing no positive or negative role. He was just a spectator from beginning to end.

He seems... really special.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There were three unhurried knocks on the door, and most of Dong Xiwen's sleepiness that had just been born had dissipated.

The next second, a familiar voice sounded gently: "Dong Xiwen, it's me, Zhou Ke."

"Zhou Ke"? What is he here for? You don't want to kill me alone, do you?

I'm not afraid of a solo kill, after all, there is the effect of the character card, but who knows if the person coming is a ghost in disguise?

Dong Xiwen was hesitating how to respond when the voice outside the door suddenly sighed: "I know you won't let me in. I just want to give you a warning, be careful with Hehui."

"Ah?" Dong Xiwen opened his mouth wide, but moved closer to the door, "Brother, please elaborate."

"I have studied psychology, and I can see that she lied about her identity." Qisi said sincerely across the threshold, "She is not a supporting character, so she must be a protagonist and a villain. If she is the protagonist, Even if we are to perform the script perfectly, we will let her live until the end. There is no need for her to hide her identity; then, she can only be the villain."

"Villain?" Dong Xiwen didn't quite believe it. "If she was a villain, she would have hidden it well all the way, right? They are all veteran players, so they wouldn't treat others as fools, right?"

Ziss lowered his eyes and said: "There is another possibility, that is, this copy has different definitions of the villain and the protagonist. When Mr. Charlie or the puppet wrote this script, they all had a twisted and unwilling mentality, and what they wrote was Of course it won’t be a traditional story. The fragmentary pages of the script also said that this story is full of violence and blood. How can a simple and weak character like He Hui be the protagonist? "

Dong Xiwen thought about it carefully and felt that what Qisi said seemed to make sense. But this doesn't mean anything. Let him make it up, and he can come up with a bunch of reasonable excuses.

He upheld rationality and shook his head to argue: "But the logic of your reasoning was not valid from the beginning. She is the protagonist, and she may have concealed her identity, for example, because she was afraid of being targeted by the villain or something."

This is undoubtedly the truth. Qisi's voice was still calm: "Then do you think it is possible to have two protagonists in a drama?"

Dong Xiwen looked serious: "What do you mean?"

Qisi said seriously: "I am the protagonist."

"You? Protagonist?"

Qisi didn't wait for Dong Xiwen to react before he continued: "You should also have gotten your character card. You have probably guessed how to get the character card, right?"

"Enter the room where your corresponding evil is entrenched?"

Qisi said "Yes" and said: "Hehui was the first to get the character card. It can be basically determined that her sin lies in the room No. 3 she chose. How many evil things do you think she has done? , would there be such a big sin?”

Dong Xiwen's breathing quickened.

Hehui had shown a weak, victim-like face from the beginning, which naturally aroused his sympathy and protective desire, but now he was told that it was all disguise and deception...

How can someone who can perform to this level be a kind person?

Dong Xiwen thought for a while and asked: "Your sin is in Room 1, right? Cynthia targeted you like that, she must have encountered your sin, right?"

"Yes." Zi admitted frankly, "But I have never hidden my so-called 'sin', right?"

Dong Xiwen said with vacant eyes: "No matter what, you are more dangerous... you can still describe killing and eating people without changing your expression. Your three views have long been out of the scope of normal people, right?"

Zeiss asked, "Aren't you the same?"

Dong Xiwen said "Huh" through the door panel and put a question mark at the end to express his confusion.

Chiss said lukewarmly: "In my world view, anyone who hurts me at all deserves a miserable death; in your view, this unfair world needs a change; obviously, in a short time, , neither my rationality nor yours can be universally recognized - based on the set of conventional rules, what is the difference between you and me?"

"It's impossible for your world view to be recognized at any time, right?" Although Dong Xiwen felt that it was silly to discuss issues of good and evil with a perverted murderer, he still continued, "Although universal values ​​are sometimes outdated, it is undeniable , it is indeed conducive to the survival of the human species..."

"'Beneficial'." Qisi chewed on the three words Dong Xiwen said word by word and laughed out loud, "So in the final analysis, benefit is the eternal thing. Then I also hope that you will do it out of benefit." Don't be so hostile to me because I don't want to kill someone for no profit. At least in my opinion, Cynthia and Hehui deserve to be killed more than you."

Dong Xiwen finally understood Qisi's logic and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You want to persuade me to join forces with you to deal with Cynthia and Hehui? What? The logic you said does make some sense, but how do I know you are not lying? I?"

[Danger is coming, please return to your room and seek shelter in it]

The cold system tone sounded at the right time.

After two seconds of silence, Dong Xiwen said: "Why don't you go back to the room first? I'll think about it..."

"It's easy to verify my words." Zis's tone left no room for doubt, "Either I show you my character card, or I die once and appear in full form tomorrow to verify the 'law of the protagonist's immortality' '."

Dong Xiwen really didn't expect Qisi to be so willing.

He quickly opened the door: "Brother, you are my eldest brother, okay? Let me open the door and take a look at your character card..."

He was basically sure that the "Zhou Ke" outside the door was a player and not a ghost. So with the "Alien World" effect of the character card, there wouldn't be much risk for him to open the door.

Of course, Chis had no ill intentions at all.

He never had any hope of killing other players head-on, so naturally he wouldn't think of giving Dong Xiwen a try.

After Dong Xiwen opened the door, he neatly took out the character card from his pocket, turned it over and showed it to the former.

[Players are not allowed to show their character cards to others, and card-peeping is not allowed]

System prompts appeared on the two people's panels at the same time. The black card in Qisi's hand was instantly submerged in white light, and the writing on it could no longer be seen clearly.

Qisi was obviously stunned for a long time before he smiled sadly and said: "It seems that I can only die once."

Dong Xiwen believed him eight or nine times as early as the moment Qisi showed the character card.

If he really had a ghost in his heart, his movements wouldn't be so neat.

He stopped Qisi and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't I believe you? Well, why don't you find a place to sit down first and discuss what to do tomorrow?"

His movements suddenly froze, and he saw that the Zisi in front of him suddenly became flat, as if he had been reduced from a three-dimensional creature to a two-dimensional one, and the colors on his body also turned into a mass of red, yellow and blue, becoming A paper man who fell into a dye vat.

The paper man fell straight forward and stuck to the ground like a poster. In a few seconds, it turned into a thin gray shadow and disappeared.

Before the end of the first act, Charlie said: "A room only protects the first person who enters it."

Yes, the danger has come. "Zhou Ke" will not be protected if he is not in his room.

This information was asked personally by "Zhou Ke". He knew the danger, but insisted on coming to Room 6. He even risked his own death to prove his identity...

Dong Xiwen stared blankly at the gray shadow on the ground, stunned for a long time.

He suddenly remembered that it was Qiss who reminded him of the existence of the "Novice Pool" in the first scene.

Then, in the "Black Jack" game that just ended, in the last round, the card Zis handed to Charlie was [10], and his remaining card was [A]. He actually took the initiative to dismantle his own blackjack, instead of letting everyone else fail together.

This person doesn't seem to be as heinous as he originally thought?

…

In Room 3, Hehui didn't realize at all that he had become a "villain" full of lies in Qis's arrangement.

She allowed herself to be overwhelmed by sleep, and had the same dream from yesterday again.

Her figure is reflected in the maze made of glass. Countless pairs of eyes are watching her from all angles, and she is completely naked.

Trembling, she began to run, stumbling.

At the end of the road, a few pieces of yellowed papyrus were pasted on the smooth mirror surface, like bruises or scars.

[Guard (sneering): We are ordered by the king to burn those forbidden scripts. Whoever dares to stop us, we will have to destroy him together! 】

[Charlie (pledging): I swear I will never let those plays be staged again. Please let me save the few remaining manuscripts! I have nothing but those things. 】

[Guard: I see that this old man like you is not well-intentioned and wants to poison the minds of the people with your lies! We will destroy you together, destroy you! 】

[The guard shouted loudly and rushed into the study with torches raised. Soon, flames soaring into the sky ignited from the study room and gradually engulfed the entire theater. 】

[End of Act 2]
