744 “AV Shooting Guide” 708: The Second Stage

In the night, the playground is like a huge cemetery, and the buildings in it are like countless tombs, flashing with will-o’-the-wisps, which is daunting.

Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but feel lucky that she survived. She almost rolled and crawled into the grass on the side of the road, using the cover of the bushes to observe her surroundings vigilantly.

…Are there any ghosts nearby?

The playground was too quiet, eerily quiet. There seemed to be countless ghosts in the distance, but it seemed to be just her hallucination. In such an environment, people had no sense of security at all. The constantly changing numbers above her head reminded her that this was not a game, but a real and cruel massacre.

What to do next?

There is no way to go back to the circus. There are two ghosts inside, and one of them has remembered her appearance, but there will only be more ghosts in other buildings. She has this kind of turnstile body, which is too conspicuous.

Or hide in the grass temporarily?

Qiao Qiao immediately rejected this idea. The grass she was hiding in was a T-junction. Ghosts from at least three directions would pass by here. When the players in the building were almost eliminated, the ghosts would definitely come out to search, and she still couldn’t hide.

Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly and ran out after all the hard work, but the situation didn’t seem to get better.

After thinking for a while, she decisively gave up squatting in the grass and slipped away towards the small square along the way.

The journey was smooth, not to mention the ghosts, not even the player’s shadow could be seen, but this was to be expected. The game had not started for ten minutes, and the ghosts were basically busy searching the buildings. The outside was actually safer than the indoors.

Qiao Qiao crossed the small square and returned to the ticket inspection area of ​​the amusement park, where she turned into a turnstile.

She thought very simply. The ghost was too powerful to fight head-on. The safest strategy was to find a place to hide until the end of the game. However, the place she could hide in this state was really limited, so she still had to come back here.

And the ghost must have searched here, even if there is an extra gate, it shouldn’t be that conspicuous.

Huh——?

Qiao Qiao stared blankly at the vacant seat in front of her, sweating almost instantly. Where was the guy who occupied her seat?

She remembered clearly that there was originally only one gate at the ticket inspection office. Qiao Qiao copied it once, and the rogue also copied it once. She gave up the good position to the rogue, so it stands to reason that there should be two turnstiles here, one is a real turnstile, and the other is a changed one by a player.

But now only the real turnstile is left here, and the scoundrel is nowhere to be found.

Has he changed places?Or was he discovered by a ghost?

Qiao Qiao immediately hesitated. If that person had been eliminated, it meant that this place was unsafe. If he hid again, he would probably be killed by the ghost. But other than here, she really couldn’t think of anywhere else she could hide.

After all, besides the ticket inspection office, where else can I use the gate?

After hesitating, in the darkness not far away, the outline of a human figure appeared faintly.

Damn it!

Besides ghosts, what else can maintain human form at this time?Qiao Qiao was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder burst. However, this place was already on the edge of the amusement park and there was nowhere to hide. In desperation, she had no choice but to stay where she was and pretend to be a turnstile.

The ghost appeared, grinning a big bright red mouth, and walked over shaking his head.

The kind that can capture sound waves.

Qiao Qiao’s heart was filled with panic. This kind of ghost moved very fast and was basically dead if it was discovered. However, it was not in ‘hunting’ mode now, so it could walk upright normally like a human being.

The ghost walked slowly to the ticket inspection area, glanced around with only two holes left, and then walked to the two turnstiles.

Qiao Qiao was already devastated. She had squatted in a hurry just now and didn’t know if she was aligned with the first gate. She couldn’t change it now and could only resign herself to fate.

The ghost slowly opened his mouth.

Its mouth was extremely large, disproportionately large, like a torn wound, with a blood-red mass inside, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Joe didn’t know what it was going to do. It couldn’t be because it was hungry, right?But there shouldn’t be a satiety setting in the game. Is it going to sing with its mouth wide open?

For a moment, a game that she had played a long time ago flashed through Qiao Qiao’s mind. No wonder she always felt that this ghost looked familiar. At a critical moment, she finally remembered where this sense of familiarity came from.

It’s “Silent Villa.”

The way this ghost crawled on the ground with its joints bent was exactly like the zombie maid inside. Even the shape was similar, except that the hairband and apron were removed, blurring the gender, which was why she didn’t think of it immediately.

Wait a minute, if the production team really copied the maid’s setting, then the reason it opens its mouth is–

A series of gurgling sounds suddenly came from the ghost’s throat, as if he was about to vomit something out. As soon as the thing came out, Qiao Qiao controlled his body and jumped up high.

It was an extremely thick and long tongue.

It swept around the ground like a dinosaur’s tail, because Qiao Qiao was too close to it. If she didn’t jump in time, the tongue would undoubtedly hit her straight.

The tongue is not too long, and the attack radius is only about three meters, but this is enough for searching players. If the first kind of ghost is a single attack, then this kind of ghost is undoubtedly a range attack. The two kinds of ghosts have different attack methods, but they are both very effective.

In “Silent House”, what the maid spit out was an extended human arm, which represented the countless lives she had devoured. Although the game production team changed the shape of the human arm, it retained its characteristics. It attacks close to the ground and is almost impossible to dodge except for timing and jumping in time.

After falling on the spot, Qiao Qiao looked at the ghost in front of him nervously.

Everything is just speculation. If the production team changes the setting on a whim, her jumping will expose herself.There was silence all around, and the ghost made no further movements after the missed blow. The time was longer than ever before.

Finally, the ghost shook his head and turned to search elsewhere.

Qiao Qiao closed her eyes. She felt her body trembling, not this ridiculous gate body, but her flesh and blood body in reality.

The ghost followed the same pattern in other places, searching area after area, but this place was already very empty, and it only took less than a minute to check them all. Until the ghost was sure that nothing could be found, he slowly retreated into the darkness and left the ticket inspection area.

After she was sure that she couldn’t see the ghost anymore, Qiao Qiao felt the pain in her lungs dully, which may have been caused by holding her breath in a state of extreme tension. She forced herself to take a few deep breaths, and then she felt better.

Judging from the behavior of the ghosts just now, they are probably not NPCs, but real people.

A very cunning search method, which is equivalent to dividing the entire ticket check into circular areas with the tongue attack range as the radius. Any player in this area will have nothing to hide. It is troublesome but effective.

Qiao Qiao guessed that the previous gate operator was eliminated in this way. It seems that the hiding place is too open and the search is too fast. The ghost can use the simplest and crudest carpet search method, no matter how well you hide, it will attack indiscriminately.

The numbers in the sky were falling rapidly. The ghosts were eliminating players faster and faster after getting familiar with the venue. Every number change meant the loss of a life. Qiao Qiao couldn’t bear to watch anymore and forced himself to look away.

She knew that the ticket check-in area was unsafe, but the gate was too cumbersome. She could only stay here temporarily until she found a better place. Fortunately, the ticket check-in area was in a remote location, and no ghosts came except the one just now.

259/418

A flash of red light flashed across the sky, and the number settled on 259, never moving again.

Qiao Qiao felt strange. Half of the people eliminated should have reached 209. Now there are still 50 more people. Why stop now?

The field of vision suddenly lengthened, and Qiao Qiao was unprepared. She thought she had taken off from the ground, but when she looked down, she discovered that the body of the gate machine had disappeared, replaced by the original human body.

What’s going on?Is the game over?

There were no other players around Qiao Qiao, and she didn’t know whether it was just her or everyone else. She didn’t dare to move for a while, but just stayed in place and watched what happened.

Slowly, she felt something was wrong.

First, there was a change on the ground. Some thick white fog appeared for some reason. The fog covered everything in sight in the blink of an eye. The visibility instantly dropped to only about one and a half meters. Qiao Qiao couldn’t even see clearly the big characters at the ticket checkpoint above his head.

The numbers in the sky still remain locked, flashing red light. The three numbers are like three huge eyes, staring at everything below.

The thick fog left just as quickly as it came.

After about thirty seconds, the fog suddenly receded like a tide, but like a torn wrapping paper, the amusement park that reappeared in sight had completely changed.

The originally smooth and neat floor tiles were replaced by countless soft and wriggling blood bubbles. The street lamps and flower bushes also disappeared, turning into a mass of blood and flesh. The pergola at the ticket gate behind him became a woman’s open flaming red lips. Huge white teeth were hidden behind the bright red lips, and there was even a tongue moving against the teeth.

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

Is there a second stage to this hide-and-seek game?
