Infinite Mask Game

Chapter 10 Unknown Sacrifice



"Does this look like a cult sacrifice?"

Old player Bud understood the true meaning of this scene at a glance. In some horror and supernatural games, similar scenes are not uncommon. These cultists are usually the culprits of strange events.

Cultists like to use living people as sacrifices, tie them to chairs, and then kill them during the ritual.

The scene retains the appearance of the first scene.

Bud went forward and shook the chair, but the chair did not move. Squatting down to check, you will find that the legs of the chair are nailed to the ground.

Although this scene gives people a sense of horror and curiosity, the sense of fear is reduced a lot. After all, cultists still belong to the category of humans.

"Could it be that the cultists held a ceremony and summoned the ghosts?" Anderson tried to explain the origin of the ghosts.

Bud confirmed his guess: "It's very likely. But how do you explain the nailed bodies in other rooms?"

Anderson: "Are they also part of this sacrificial ritual?"

Bud looked at him with appreciation: "That makes sense. I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted."

The strong blond man smiled embarrassedly: "I usually play some reasoning games."

Edith: "Do you think that the objects of sacrifice are not us death row prisoners?"

This sentence made Bud and Anderson silent. Bud rubbed his chin: "It shouldn't be. If they want to sacrifice us here, there is no need to go to the trouble of putting collars on us for seven days of survival."

While they were discussing, Wei Miao was carefully observing the magic circle. As Bud said, this is a typical sacrificial scene. There are spots of blood on the back of the chair, which has turned dark red and black.

But from the blood layer, it is not solidified layer by layer, or covered with each other, that is to say, repeated sacrifice does not exist.

According to Bud, many batches of death row prisoners have come. If they were all sacrificed, the blood would not be distributed so harmoniously.

But what was a little strange was that the bloodstains on the back of the chair gathered on the surface of the two chair legs, winding down from the top, and just connected with the lines of the magic circle at the bottom.

This situation... Wei Miao thought about it, it should be that the person's hands were tied to the two pillars of the chair back, and then the blood was let out by cutting the wrists.

In short, the scene at that time must be linked to blood.

Apart from this magic circle, there was nothing else worth paying attention to in the room.

It was late, and the sky was shifting towards evening. The four people hurriedly left the seventh floor. When they returned to the third floor, they were relieved from the bizarre and gloomy pressure, and they were much more relaxed.

After dinner, Wei Miao returned to 306. In front of the mirror in the shower room, she saw the metal collar on her neck.

Countdown 5:14:36.

It seems that there is still a lot of time, but the constant countdown makes the passing of life visible, and a sense of urgency arises spontaneously.

Lying flat on the bed, Wei Miao sorted out his thoughts.

The clues on the seventh floor are the key at present. It should be said that all the strange things are concentrated on the seventh floor, and the other floors are just confusing options.

The uncertain information currently available is:

1. The activities of the ghost are periodic, roughly between 0:00 and 1:00, and the location at other times is unknown. It has caused a major massacre and is suspected to have been restricted.

But what considerations did the people who took over later have? After cleaning up the scene, they retained the ritual venue on the seventh floor and used the hotel as a game venue for these death row prisoners?

2. The twelve bodies in rooms 701 to 712 were ritually disposed, which is suspected to be related to the sacrifice in room 713. Judging from their clothes, combined with the information provided by Budd on the first day of his arrival, they may be hotel guests who died in an unknown massacre before.

3. The ghost may move in a physical form, with sharp claws similar to those of wild animals, and the sound of walking is loud and dull. From this point of view, it seems that this ghost is more like a monster?

4. Room 713 is special. Not only because of the sacrificial rituals, but also because the ghosts hardly ever entered this room, while the door handles from 701 to 712 left a lot of traces of ghosts opening the door. However, there is another explanation, that the ghosts stayed in 713 before going out, did not close the door during the outing, and closed the door when they returned to 713.

But there is a problem with this explanation. If the ghosts stayed in 713 the rest of the time, they did not see any trace of the ghosts when they went in. Moreover, Wei Miao recalled the condition of the door of 713, and there were no scratches on the internal door handle, indicating that the ghosts did not open the door from the inside.

In other words, the ghosts basically do not touch this door. So where do the ghosts stay at other times? Do they only appear in the hotel during certain time periods?

The strangeness of the ghosts' actions last night and the layout of the seventh floor made Wei Miao vaguely have some vague and bold guesses, but she needed some verification.

If there is anyone who knows this hotel best, it must be the administrator Pizza who lives on the first floor.

Wei Miao found that they all subconsciously ignored this administrator. As the only living NPC in the hotel, he was of immeasurable value to the players, but his bad attitude at the beginning made the players' favorability towards him plummet and they were discouraged.

Wei Miao quietly went out and went downstairs.

Pizza was sitting at the counter, holding a cigarette, expressionless. Looking at the posture of holding the phone, he was playing the game.

Wei Miao did not hide his steps, and walked forward naturally, and glanced at his phone screen with his height.

It seems to be a 2D horizontal fighting game that requires operation skills. With a sudden attack from the opponent, Pizza's character with only a little blood left fell to the ground, and the screen turned gray.

Pizza didn't seem to be frustrated at all. He calmly put down the phone and stared at her with sharp blue eyes: "What's the matter?"

Wei Miao endured the smell of smoke and smiled gently: "I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to ask you."

Pizza replied with an irrelevant question: "Can you play fighting games?"

Wei Miao was stunned: "I know a little."

Pizza took out another mobile phone from the counter drawer and said neatly: "I'm playing a game called "Infinite Deathmatch" recently. You and I will play against each other. If you win, I will answer you a question based on my mood without violating the rules. Of course, I won't answer those core sensitive questions, and the questions will be invalid."

Wei Miao realized that this might be the only safe way to obtain information provided by the copy.

The official website wrote this sentence: "If you want to stand out in "Masquerade", you'd better turn yourself into an all-round superman; or cooperate with teammates, use each other's expertise to get information that only you can get, and each get what you need."

This time, the test to pass is actually FTG game ability, which is a bit outrageous and a bit reasonable at the same time.
