Randomly pick a stand-in every day

That desk is the registration office?

Ah, when he said that, Raleigh suddenly remembered.On the official website, this location is used to log in to the account...

So if you don't register, you won't be admitted?It seems reasonable, but since it is related to the theater troupe, I always feel that it is not a good thing, or...

Just as Raleigh was thinking about whether he could evade the ticket, the butler had already written something in the registration book, and then handed a mask to Raleigh.

"Okay, please come in, the troupe welcomes you, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. If you want to go on stage, remember to put on a mask first."

Raleigh didn't intend to take it at all, and directly backed away from both sides; who knew that the other side didn't really want to give it, so he gestured twice, and then he put on a mask and disappeared together with the air wall.

"……unclear meaning."

After waiting for two seconds and nothing else happened, I leaned over to see that the registration book was blank, so Raleigh stopped worrying about it and went to the notice board on the right to look.

In the original book, when this location is clicked, it will display the latest update status. According to the setting, it should be the performance preview of the troupe. Now, it says something like this:

[Dear guests:

The troupe performing here is called the "Scarlet Troupe".

It has a long history and excellent repertoire.

But to watch their shows, there are a few rules to follow.

Please read the following content in detail to enjoy the show better.

I wish you a wonderful night]

①When entering the castle, you need to register your identity at the guest registration office on the left side of the gate, and wait for the butler to hand you the mask needed for the ball before you can enter

(If the servant at the entrance does not check the mask, please be sure to let us know, we will punish the servant for his negligence)

②This castle can only enter a maximum of three people at a time, so if your companions are more than two and get separated when entering the venue, this is a normal phenomenon.Don't panic, your friends may have already entered the venue first, you can look around the venue

③If you find that your belongings are lost, you can look for them in the storage room on the left side of the main hall.Our staff will put the lost items there, so the items here will increase or decrease from time to time, please don't mind

④ In order to ensure the safe performance of the show, protective magical organs are arranged inside the castle. These measures will restrain more than a certain level of powerful Originium skills, or excessive physical kinetic energy.

Please understand that this may cause you to be unable to display your full strength in battle.If necessary, you can use certain facilities, items or personnel in the castle to get rid of this suppression and restore full strength, but we hope you will not need these.

⑤ Please take good care of your mask, remember that the mask is a symbol of sacred meaning, please do not lose your mask or exchange it with others, and always remember - you must wear the mask at all times to get on stage.

⑥The stage is located directly in front of the entrance, you can go straight to it.If you want to explore other areas of the castle, please explain to the steward or the castle master before acting, lest you

【ladies and gentlemen! 】

--------

Well, I need to explain here.

The change in punctuation is not a mistake.The position of this rule ⑥ has no follow-up text, nor is it crossed out or stained, but because another piece of paper is pasted on it.

Specifically, this bulletin board is the very old-fashioned type with layers of paper on top.The tourist rule paper that Raleigh had been looking at before was not the top and latest one. When the content reached this place, another piece of paper ruthlessly covered it, with a larger, more flamboyant red color Font Passion declared:

【ladies and gentlemen!The repertoire to be performed today will be a great tragedy! 】

[The star of the troupe, the betrayer and destroyer of the troupe, our pride came here after finding a trace of news, he wants to completely cut off his past and destroy the last remnants of the troupe]

[But he will get lost here!The killer realizes that he has never really escaped. In this fateful choice, his final outcome is...]

[What will appear under the blood moon?Horrified?fear?blood?Howling?Well... none of these will be missing!Please look forward to it, everyone, I announce——]

["Half-washed Lonely Diamond" has a grand opening tonight! 】

The above-mentioned content looks like it was written in blood, with exaggerated and strange fonts, and it can be seen that the author’s mental state has just slipped out of a madhouse. It is very suitable for scaring people in third-rate horror movies—at most second-rate, It cannot be higher.

Raleigh looked at this leaflet with a strange expression, and saw the word [announcer] in the lower left corner of it.

Uh……

Raleigh seems to have a new understanding of the fact that this product is very unpopular in the entire Scarlet Troupe in terms of setting.

"What bad taste..."

I tried to buckle it with my hands. Unfortunately, this leaflet is very sticky. It is obviously an impossible task to pull it off and continue to see if there are other rules behind it.

"Why is your scarlet troupe still playing strange stories about rules? The tricks are quite up-to-date?"

Convinced that no matter how hard he tried to tear it, the paper would only be torn, so Raleigh no longer competed with this notice board, and was not prepared to think carefully about the things on it.

ah?Please, this is arranged for victims who don't know anything. It's used to cheat people. Why does he know the inside story and join in the fun?But go to your rules, it's only ghosts who listen to you.

"And this rule doesn't seem to have a clear direction. In the end, it's... hmm?"

[System prompt: You have read the entrance instructions for the castle, the scenario import is complete, and the dungeon mission has been unlocked]

[Objective: To assist Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals in finding its lost operator puppet]

[Current task: explore the castle and collect more clues]

"Huo?"

I thought that a certain game system was going to be disconnected at the beginning of the game and then reappeared after clearing the level, but I didn't expect it to be reconnected so soon.

However, the mission description this time is a bit too concise, right?The amount of text is even less than the previous Sumeru. Could it be that this time there is also an element of world view and puzzle solving?

I already know how much space there is for solving puzzles if it is based on "Puppet Shadow Meat Pigeon"...

"At least the place should be right. Let's look around first and see if we meet anyone else."

None of the teammates I brought with me when we set out were there. Seeing this mission, it probably wasn’t that he was really walking alone. It’s not a big problem, let’s explore it by ourselves first.

While thinking, Raleigh's eyes suddenly moved to the left side of the room, where under the sunlight, a gorgeous red seat was placed diagonally.

He took two steps forward and found a black cat lying on the chair?

--------

ps: There is a little Calvin, just resolved.

The first half (before the rules) of the troupe’s movie viewing instructions was copied from the official website. This strange talk about the rules means that the visual sense is really strong, but the content behind it is not the rules but the game mode (乐)

Chapter 703 The Fool Comes to the Stage (3k)

The pure black cat was lying gracefully on the chair, as if it should have belonged to her.Although many people say that cats are spiritual animals, the one in front of me doesn't seem to be at a level that can be easily conveyed by the word "spirituality".

She has a very special temperament, to put it plainly... It can make people feel unusual at first sight.

At the same time that Raleigh was looking at the black cat, the other party turned his eyes over as if he had just noticed him, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes calmly stared at the comer.

At the same time, the two tails behind the black cat slowly stretched out from the coiled state, and swung slightly twice.

Well, two.

"You are……"

One distinguishing feature, Raleigh recognized the cat.

The operator "Puppet Shadow" is a killer character with many secrets.Many elements of "The Phantom of the Opera" are incorporated into his character image, but some elements are embodied in a strange way:

For example, he has a cat named Miss. Christine.

The same name as the heroine in The Phantom of the Opera, but she is not the Phantom's pet cat, and even... maybe more like a guardian?

There are many mysteries about the lady, at least she is definitely not an ordinary animal, she appears here...

"Are you here to find the puppet?"

After recalling the identity of the other party, Raleigh tried to talk to Ms. Christine.This was the biggest clue in front of him, and there was no reason to turn a blind eye to it, and Raleigh didn't doubt whether the black cat could understand human language, he just wasn't sure if the cat was willing to cooperate.

"..."

The lady looked at him, got up from her chair, and didn't respond.

"I am an employee of Rhodes Island. If you are also looking for him, I will be your helper."

Raleigh continued, although he hadn't joined the other side yet, this identity was not nonsense.

"……(Snapped)"

After the lady continued to be silent for a few seconds, she suddenly jumped out of the chair and rushed to the passage on the right with a quick and deft step. When she reached the entrance, she turned her head and paused.

"Meow."

"Do you want me to follow you... Ah, run away."

Raleigh continued to communicate, but Ms. Christine didn't seem prepared to wait for his reaction, and ran straight into the passageway after meowing.

Ah, the trust value doesn't seem to be enough, or does this lady have this personality?

'Speaking of which, it's not just the players, my own operators and plants didn't show up either... Are they with other people, or didn't they come at all? '

The headset he used to connect to the combat command room is still on his body, but it seems that there is no signal and no response.Although some wanted to blow the whistle to summon it directly, but after all, the one-hour cooldown is not too short, so let's let it go.

anyway, no

During the path, the system pop-up window appears again in due course:

【Target update】

[Current task: Follow Miss. Christine's guidance and tips to explore the castle]

It seemed that his choice was affirmed, so after chasing the mysterious cat of the puppet, Raleigh walked into the passage on the right side of the hall.

Compared with the empty hall outside, this passage is really not spacious and not very bright.There is only a dim light of fire in the arched passage, and there is also a little mist for no reason. Looking forward, it gives people a visual effect of "walking into the dark", which makes Raleigh feel a little familiar.

He recalled it carefully for a few seconds, and felt that this inexplicable nostalgia came from his long-ago childhood—the environment in front of him was really like the door used when Conan TV transitioned.

"It's not important, Ms. Christine... well, where's the cat?"

Christine's movements were astonishingly fast, she was clearly following closely behind, but Raleigh could no longer see her.

Point to a direction and disappear? This sense of sight can officially confirm that this dungeon has a somewhat suspenseful and puzzle-solving theme. The guidance method that was mentioned but not fully explained is exactly that flavor.

"But speaking of the ancient castle, I seem to have the ghost hunting gift bag from the Taoist priest I met in my backpack... Maybe it will be useful, so take it out first."

Thinking of this, Raleigh kept walking, reached out and clicked on the backpack, and took out...

Ok?

Where is my backpack?
