114: Chapter 114 Alice's Doll Tea Party 7
The several players were all experienced veterans, and they immediately sensed the issue in Alice's words.
"Return to your own seats."
Their own seats—it was very likely that, aside from the main seat which was clearly Alice's chair, the other chairs corresponded to each player's identity.
If one accidentally sat in the wrong chair, the outcome was easy to imagine; it would definitely not be a good one.
The players exchanged glances, and The man with the emerald said, "Let's go over and take a look first. Look for any clues on the chairs that might correspond to our identities. Don't forget to check the long table as well."
While the players cautiously walked over to the table to observe the chairs for clues, Luo Yuejian was busy trying to figure out how to court death.
Although she hadn't actually heard the issue in Alice's words, seeing the players' reactions made it clear even to an idiot that these chairs might be trapped.
However, if she were to just sit down directly, it would be too obviously acted out and would easily trigger a warning from the slacker system.
Luo Yuejian was no longer the naive Luo Yuejian she once was; she already had a deep understanding of the system's warning rules.
Since she couldn't blatantly step into a trap, she would pretend to have discovered the correct clue and then blatantly step into the trap.
Luo Yuejian also began to feign searching for clues on the chairs.
To say she was feigning it wasn't entirely accurate, as Luo Yuejian was truly prepared to find something. Whether the clue was real or fake didn't matter.
Her plan was to find a clue that at first glance clearly had nothing to do with her Grand Duchess identity, and then forcefully link that clue to the identity of the Grand Duchess.
Hehe, by then, the slacker system wouldn't be able to stop her from courting death.
However, Luo Yuejian's expectations were too optimistic.
She never expected—and of course, the other players didn't either—that this trap would be so simple; they found who each chair corresponded to without any effort at all.
When the players carefully examined the chairs, they quickly discovered that there was a mark hidden on the underside of each seat cushion.
These marks corresponded exactly to the unique decorations on the players, such as Luo Yuejian's ruby, The bearded uncle with an exaggerated top hat's hat, the Little Girl with a Crown's crown...
This clue wasn't hidden very well. If it were novice players who had only entered the game once or twice, they might have triggered the trap because they didn't sense the malice in Alice's words.
And the fact that the marks were hidden on the underside of the seat cushions was indeed rather devious.
However, the players present were all battle-hardened veterans, so naturally, they didn't overlook any details. Therefore, finding the mark corresponding to each player was not a difficult task for them.
"Could it be a trick?" the Young man in a blue suit asked suspiciously.
"Indeed, this clue came a bit too easily." The man with the emerald also frowned.
It wasn't that they particularly wanted to encounter difficult clues; it was mainly because this game was the fifth upgrade game of the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, and just hearing that implied the difficulty should be very high.
This made them full of wariness when they started the game.
As it turned out, the clues weren't hidden very deep. The players just flipped them over based on experience and found them, which made them feel a bit of a discrepancy now.
The players frowned, but the Old Man with a Cane shook his head and said to them, "Everyone, don't be overly vigilant. This game has only just begun."
"Generally speaking, the further along a game gets, the more danger there is. Perhaps this is just an appetizer for now."
The bearded uncle with an exaggerated top hat nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Exactly. Aren't the symbols corresponding to these chairs obvious enough? Instead of wasting energy here, we should think about how to deal with Alice's harassment after she sits down. That little girl doesn't look like someone to be trifled with."
After listening to the words of The bearded uncle with an exaggerated top hat, the other players also felt it made sense. Just as he said, the roles these chairs pointed to were already very clear.
The man with the emerald was still quite cautious. He took out an item that looked like a cat's eye from his hand, "Wait a moment. This Eye of Truth of mine can see through illusion and reality. Let's confirm that these symbols aren't fake before we take our seats."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other players to react and began checking the chairs one by one. A moment later, he nodded, "No problem, they are real."
After checking those symbols, he felt relieved himself and pulled out a chair, preparing to sit down.
However, at this moment, Luo Yuejian spoke up in a cold voice: "Don't move."
Luo Yuejian's sudden interjection startled the other players, and they all looked at her in unison.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, they were all clear that the White-haired Girl in front of them was a cold, taciturn person.
At this moment, she had abruptly spoken to stop them, and combined with the excellent analytical ability Luo Yuejian had previously displayed...
Could it be that she had discovered some clue?
Were there other mechanisms or traps on these chairs?
The man with the emerald, whose hand was resting on the back of the chair, froze and then quickly withdrew it as if burned. He frowned, looking at Luo Yuejian with a probing gaze, "What did you discover?"
Luo Yuejian's thoughts were not identical to those of the players; one could only say they were diametrically opposite.
Previously, she also felt that since the symbols of their identities were clearly carved on the chairs, under these circumstances, she shouldn't have any room to slack off.
Luo Yuejian had originally been a bit disappointed. But at this moment, she heard the question from the Young man in a blue suit.
A nerve in Luo Yuejian's brain suddenly went taut.
She suddenly realized one thing: the players in this round were all experienced veterans who had already cleared four games, and a common failing that veteran players usually had was being overly cautious.
She had seen this very clearly from the Man in Black Turtleneck and the Man in the Suit in the previous round.
They were full of 800 tricks.
In this situation, couldn't she take advantage of this psychology of the veteran players and deliberately guide them, making them think that the correct clues they had discovered were wrong?
By then, she would be able to sit in the wrong chair as a matter of course!
Holy crap, she was a genius!
