Chapter 3 Prisoner’s Game

[Instructions for ranking: Completing the mission means successfully passing the level.]

[The tasks are divided into "disguise" and "main line". The system will give you an avatar and give a specific character introduction. You need to play the role according to the system description. The degree of completion will affect the final settlement. In the final stage of the main line task, the evaluation

The requirements are relaxed, now is the best time for you to take off your disguise and reveal your true face! If the "curtain call" is triggered, your settlement evaluation will increase significantly!]

[Warning: This is a immersive experience, and states such as hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and exhaustion are not blocked. Please replenish your physical strength in time.]

A deep male voice concluded at the end: "Having the mask taken off is a kind of failure, but taking off the mask is a kind of victory."

Cut scene CG lights up in the dark.

The blond young man Wei Miao saw before is the protagonist of the picture. He is wearing a prison uniform and sitting on an iron chair, with his thin and heavily shackled hands resting on the table, inside the iron room.

Next to him were two security guards with guns, staring at him with sharp eyes.

Outside the cage, opposite him stood a capable woman in a professional suit. She held a folder in her hand and was looking through something.

She closed the folder, frowned slightly, and showed a look of disgust: "It's a heinous crime!"

The blond young man played with his fingers and looked at her calmly.

"Lorraine White." The woman called out his name, "You were supposed to step on the guillotine in a week, but now, there is an opportunity to choose you."

Lorraine White said politely: "Please speak."

"This is a life-threatening game. You will wear a high-tech collar with a miniature time bomb hidden in it. If it is damaged, the collar will explode directly."

"Then you will go to a hotel with several death row inmates. There is a magnetic card as a key hidden in a corner of the hotel. If you survive in the end, your death sentence will be converted into a life sentence. If you behave well in the future, you will be given a life sentence.

There is a chance to get a reduced sentence.”

The woman took out a silver collar and a white magnetic card with a red six-pointed star printed on the surface from the brown handbag.

She put the magnetic card close to the collar. First, there was a crisp snapping sound from the empty space, and then there was an electronic sound of "beep", and a scarlet countdown appeared on the LCD screen on the surface of the collar.

7:00:00.

As time passed, the number jumped and became 6:23:59.

She swiped her card again, the electronic screen flashed three times and the numbers disappeared.

Lorraine stared at the silver collar with a cold expression.

The woman said coldly: "The choice is yours whether to participate in the game or not. We will sign a contract with you."

Several pages bound together were handed to him by the guard.

At this moment, the camera gave Lorraine a close-up. He carefully flipped through several pieces of paper and read them very carefully.

Soon, he raised his head and showed a strange smile, like the uncontrollable joy of a predator when he discovers his prey, his beautiful blue eyes sparkling.

He pondered for a while and said: "Is the key shared by everyone? Is there a risk of wandering in the hotel?"

Woman: "The keys are shared. As for the hotel, you will know after joining the game."

Lorraine took the pen and signed the contract in elegant handwriting: "That's it."

The woman took away the contract: "In a week, someone will pick you up from prison."

Lorraine crossed her fingers and raised her head slightly. Her eyes seemed to have penetrated the dark walls of the prison and saw the daylight in the sky.

The picture disappeared with a broken effect, and the surrounding darkness faded.

Wei Miao saw her hand.

A pair of slender hands with distinct joints. Due to their thinness, the blue blood vessels on the back of the hands are bulging.

It is also a pair of hands suitable for holding a knife.

The seat beneath her shook slightly, and when she turned around, she saw heavily armed guards sandwiching her from left to right.

When she raised her head again, she was facing a rearview mirror. In the mirror, her face was no longer wearing a gray bunny hood, but a delicate face that she was familiar with, with piercing blue eyes and something sharp hidden in the depths.

This is Lorraine's face.

Wei Miao quickly made a judgment on the current situation.

She is in a car being escorted by guards. Instead of using the player's body, she is taking the place of Lorraine, similar to role-playing.

Wei Miao saw her outfit clearly through the window glass and other means. It was exactly how Lorraine first appeared in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a striped white shirt, khaki pants, and black sneakers.

However, a silver collar has been put on his neck and the timer has started, like a pair of big hands strangling Wei Miao's throat.

The remaining time is 6:23:29. The time displayed on the on-board monitor is 08:31.

This can also explain why the supervision of a death row prisoner was so lax, even handcuffs were not added.

It seems that in order to give Wei Miao time to react, the task prompt came too late.

[Introduction to the copy: This is a world filled with ghosts and ghosts, which is extremely dangerous for ordinary people and exorcists. Lorraine White has been given the opportunity to avoid the death penalty, provided that he can survive with your help. Such a heinous person

A criminal whose life is in your hands.]

[Number of players in this instance: 4]

[Main mission: Survive successfully after seven days.]

[Disguise Mission: Lorraine White]

[Keywords: gentle, gentleman, crazy, cold, low-key, pretending to be innocent, fighting expert]

Wei Miao read the introduction and had a general understanding of the dungeon as a whole. Overall, this was probably a supernatural dungeon.

Soon, the car stopped on the side of the road. The guard on one side got out of the car first. Wei Miao got out of the car. The guard on the other side followed her and grabbed her arm.

Wei Miao squinted her eyes slightly. The sunlight was strong and warm, making her body feel a little uncomfortable after being under artificial light for a long time.

What she saw in front of her was a tall and grand hotel, with signs of weathering on the surface.

Wei Miao walked into the hotel under the instructions of the guard.

Just as the mahogany gate was about to close, she turned back and saw another car driving into the empty parking lot.

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is spacious and bright. Sitting behind the counter is a brown-haired man with deep facial features. The stubble on his chin is neatly trimmed. He looks about thirty years old and has quite an air of temperament.

A man is already sitting on the long sofa opposite. He has disheveled hair and a tough face. His dark blue short shirt cannot hide his strong figure and muscular arms.

Wei Miao looked at her own arm and then at him, feeling that this person might be able to crush her to death with one hand.

Most importantly, he also wears a collar around his neck.

The man behind the counter didn't even raise his head and was playing with his mobile phone: "Sit down first."

Wei Miao consciously walked to the sofa and sat down across from the man.

"Hi, hello, my name is Anderson King!"

The stranger on the sofa grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and was the first to greet her.

Wei Miao responded gently: "I am Lorraine White."

"Whitey." Anderson repeated her name, his rough voice lowered, "Do you play games?"

Wei Miao: "I know how to play some."

Anderson: "Have you ever heard of the game Persona?"

Wei Miao instantly understood what he meant: "Are you a player?"

There had been virtual role-playing games before "Masquerade", but they were far inferior to it in terms of picture quality and immersion. In the game, the highly intelligent AI will distinguish the player's words and respond. If discussed in person, this is a game

The "facts" may even be regarded as crazy by the NPC and killed by the plot.

So Wei Miao replied: "Of course, this is a very interesting game."

Anderson smiled with relief: "That's good."

Suddenly, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in. Her wavy blond hair was draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a long white skirt, black stockings and high heels, and a beige sweater on her upper body. She was elegant and charming.

Anderson's eyes were a little straight, and Wei Miao looked at her like a piece of art, her blue eyes calm and calm.

To be fair, she is a very charming beauty.

However, the collar locked around her slender neck is enough to prove that her beautiful skin may not be matched with noble qualities, but evil that is inversely proportional to her beauty.

"Hi!" She gave them a perfect smile.

"Sit down first, there's still one more person to go."

The man behind the counter still didn't raise his eyes. In his eyes, except for the mobile phone, everything else seemed to be a passing cloud.

The woman nodded slightly, walked toward them with cat steps, and meaningfully squeezed into the empty space between Wei Miao and Anderson.

Anderson's hands and feet were a little cramped and at a loss. Wei Miao smiled gently and said: "Good morning, beautiful lady, my name is Lorraine White."

The woman turned towards her, and Wei Miao could smell the faint scent of perfume on her body: "Hello, I am Edith Garden."

Anderson on the side regained the courage to strike up a conversation and introduced himself with a bright smile.
