Chapter 23 Welcome to the Glamorgan Hotel
Tu Lizhu is not a fool. Bai Shaobao can think of it, she can also think of it...
Chen Qiang is an insider of the game company and doesn't want to make a name for himself; Bai Shaobao obviously has his own concerns; it is not good for Shi Li and Sister Qiu to be the captain.
On the contrary, I am a relatively thin person, which is more suitable for this position.
"When we encounter difficulties, we will vote," Tu Lizhu said, "just as before when we decided whether the game style was [original] or [popular]."
"This is a good idea." Chen Qiang praised the first time.
"I agree too." Bai Shaobao had no better way.
"What if there are three solutions? Two to two to one." Sister Qiu frowned slightly and thought intently.
"Then eliminate the one who votes again and again." Shili said simply.
It’s just a Cthulhu group, is it necessary to be so intrigue?
No, it is precisely because it is Cthulhu in the real world that intrigue is the norm.
Running out of infinite feeling, praise, Chen Qiang thought.
"Then let's start." Tu Lizhu took a deep breath.
For the first time she had the appearance of a captain.
【The game is about to begin】
[If you have any questions during the game or want to apply for a special skill check, please consult the secret keeper]
[You can apply to communicate with the secret keeper by shouting "Secret Guardian" directly to the air, but the secret keeper has the right to ignore it.]
Everyone except Chen Qiang rolled their eyes.
Chen Qiang looked expressionless, but he thought...
The system's AI can handle some basic problems, such as "I want to investigate this room", but for particularly complex questions, he must answer them himself.
If he was busy with other things at the time, he might not have had any response...
[If you want to forcefully exit the game, please communicate with the secret keeper.]
[Please note that when you hear NPC shout "Secret Keeper", you will deduct the san value as appropriate. In front of NPC, communicating with your real identity will not only arouse their suspicion, but also deduct the san value.]
[Please play their respective investigator roles and do not perform actions that are absolutely impossible for game characters to take. The system reserves the right to deduct san value for all "super game" behaviors.]
"So hardcore." Tu Lizhu muttered.
"My audience..." Sister Qiu began to miss the water friends of Doulong TV, and even the joy of playing virtual reality games for the first time was much lessening.
Only Shi Li looked eager to try.
I hope this script is suitable for them and I can see all the reactions, Chen Qiang thought to himself.
In this trial space, he can choose many more modules, mainly related to Hasta or ghouls, as well as "horror caused by humans", which is comparable to the Cthulhu mythology he has come into contact with in the real world.
When it comes to the content of the module... Chen Qiang only knows the introduction and a simple outline, without a detailed script.
What he can modify currently cannot involve core puzzles, but that doesn't mean he can do nothing.
Everyone's consciousness was interrupted for a moment, and then they reconnected in an instant.
...
[Module name: Curse of the Hanging King]
【Several years ago, Glamorgan, Wales, UK.】
In the darkness, cold mechanical sounds sounded.
[You were invited to the Earl Glamorgan Hotel to attend the press conference of the new work "The Curse of the Hanged King" by the famous game producer Eiki Yoshikawa.]
【Yoshikawa Hideki's games are well-known for their high difficulty and enjoy a high reputation in the industry.】
[This special press conference is only open to industry insiders and a few lucky players.]
[You are just ordinary international students and musicians. If you were not based on Miss Tu's relationship, as Miss Qiu (miss.autumn), Mr. Bai and Mr. Chen, you would probably not be qualified to receive an invitation letter.]
[Now, you are sitting in Miss Tu's car.]
【Game, start…】
...
Everyone's eyes were dazzled, and when they came to their senses, they were already sitting in the car. The car was parked safely on the side of the road, Tu Lizhu in black was sitting in the driver's seat, and Sister Qiu was wearing a white dress in the passenger seat, and two men in cheap suits were in the back seat.
There are stars in the night sky, and the black Earl Glamorgan Hotel stands not far away. The main tower for viewing is in the center. Three curved buildings surround the viewing tower, with an artificial lake between each pair. The entire building complex is grand but gives people a depressing feeling.
[The current straight line distance from the Earl Glamorgan Hotel is 500 meters. If you leave the hotel for more than one thousand meters, the game will fail.]
"Is this car... my car?" Tu Lizhu was surprised. She glanced at the rearview mirror of the car, and her appearance did not change.
[They are still in their original appearance. When using a role other than their own, you will be the image of the character in NPC.]
"This car is good," Tu Liju — or Christina Tu — jumped out of the car, "Chevrolet Camaro! Bumblebee!"
"We all know that your character is one of us richest," Bai Shaobao said, "but..."
"...You should notice that a more serious problem..." Sister Qiu said slowly.
"What? Car key?" Tu Lizhu glanced into the car, "Isn't this here?"
"No," Chen Qiang said, "the problem is that we only have four of us."
"..." Tu Lizhu instantly woke up from the excitement of owning a Chevrolet Camaro.
"Where is Shili?"
...
at the same time.
The bar inside the Earl Glamorgan Hotel.
Alison Smith - Slim was stunned behind the bar alone.
[Module name: Curse of the Hanging King]
[Glamorgan, Wales, UK.]
[The press conference of the new work "The Curse of the Hanged King" by the famous game producer Eiki Yoshikawa will be held at the historically excellent Earl Glamorgan Hotel.]
【The female bartender at the Earl Glamorgan Hotel Bar is your good sister, but she unfortunately caught a severe cold and had to invite you to serve.】
[You know that your friends will also come to this press conference, so you are determined to give them an unexpected surprise.]
【The game fails if you leave the hotel for more than one thousand meters.】
【Now, the game begins…】
Shi Li was stunned for a while. She looked at herself and the system had automatically changed her bartender's clothes.
"No, right? I'm the only one!"
...
Cars come and go on the street.
"Secret keeper!" Bai Shaobao calmly shouted to the night sky outside the window, "I have a problem - where is Alison Smith now?"
[Player Shili has entered the game.]
"Then where is she now?"
No response.
"Calm down," said Chen Qiang, "Brother. The game has just begun."
"This question should have exceeded the scope of the system's answer," said Sister Qiu. "It must be that the system has arranged for her to enter the game from another place."
"That's very strange," Tu Lizhu said anxiously, "We are a five-man team, why do members leave the team at the beginning?"
This is a systematic arrangement and has nothing to do with me, Chen Qiang shrugged.
"Maybe it was the first challenge we set," he said.
"Come on?" Sister Qiu thought deeply, "Xiao Tu, don't think about it now. Let's start the car. Be optimistic about the navigation and take the nearest route to the Earl Glamorgan Hotel."
"But……"
"Do what she said." Bai Shaobao whispered.
Chapter completed!
