131: Chapter 131 The King's Wax Figure

【Blooming Chrysanthemum: Huh? Does that mean... Many Children Many Blessings and the others were in the Wax Museum from the start? This is a Wax Museum so huge it has no boundaries.】

【Broken Up With Math: The script is useless, it's like this every time. Can't you just let me be a Prophet for once?】

【Blooming Chrysanthemum: According to the original script's description, the Wax Museum should just be a regular building in Peters Town, and the medieval King Wax Statue inside should be the one giving mission hints.】

【I Am Not Mentally Ill: And what's the situation with this Wang Family Village? Across from Peters Town, shouldn't it be the Demon Pavilion?】

【Sky Dumpling: I think... the problem might be the river. Using the river as a boundary is equivalent to dividing it from the middle.】

【Sky Dumpling: The carrier of the dungeon shouldn't be changeable. The only thing that can change is the difficulty of cracking the mission.】

【Blooming Chrysanthemum: Brother Dumpling? I thought you disdained watching low-level dungeons.】

【Sky Dumpling: The dungeon mutated, and the Group Leader sent me to monitor it. After all, we Thriller Game also have rules. Finding that pest in the group who likes to cause trouble is my mission.】

【Old Six: We are all miserable laborers, we can't even contact our superiors, how could it be from our Management Group?】

【Sky Dumpling: Rest assured, I have the files of all of you here. I can compare them based on your personalities and the methods used to tamper with the dungeon, then find that person and kill them!】

【Old Six: ...】

Everyone looked at the giant wax wall in front of them, falling into silence for a moment.

"It feels like The Truman Show," Lu Chengfeng swallowed hard.

Jiang Xinyi pulled out her dagger and stabbed it into the wall, but the blade bent, only scraping off some candle shavings.

The knife vibrated with a "humming" sound.

"This wall is very thick, and the surface seems to be coated with a layer of fire-retardant material. Trying to burn through it with flames isn't very realistic."

"By the way... haven't you guys noticed a problem? Why are there 12 prison cells when there are only 6 of us?" Meng Zhou raised the question.

"C-could it be that there are other roommates who will move into this ward?" Xu Xiaoman asked nervously.

The dual-player dungeon she and Jiang Xiaoyun cleared before was a Hospital.

They were doctors there, responsible for taking care of many strange Patients every day.

Such as: "Three-Eyed Monster, Vampire, Toad Prince," and the like.

And their colleagues were a group of disgusting insect people.

An 8-person Dormitory, living with a group of mantis people and mosquito people; that was truly unforgettable.

"Perhaps... the answer is on the other side of the river."

Everyone moved from the boundary of Peters Town to the river boundary.

The river valley was sunken, the water surface was still, and looking down from a high altitude, it was like a dark green wound.

The murky, muddy water rippled slightly, with sparse weeds growing inside. Approaching it, one could even hear "gurgling" bubble sounds.

This wasn't any river, but a swamp.

And within the swamp, there were rich colors; someone must have poured paint into it.

"Chen! Chen Mo, there's a severed hand over there!" Su Qing suddenly pointed to an area of the swamp.

Everyone looked in the direction Su Qing pointed.

Sure enough, right beside some floating wooden planks, they saw a blood-stained severed hand pointing to the sky, quietly inserted into the swamp.

"That's not a severed hand, that's a wax statue arm," Jiang Xinyi said.

"Look here, there are words here."

Xu Xiaoman hurriedly waved, pointing to an area in the middle of the swamp.

Looking down from above, the white characters wriggled along with the swamp.

Taking two steps back, one could see the written characters were: "Han Boundary!"

"It's characters pieced together by wax statues."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, seeing clearly the carrier that made up these large characters.

Some wax statues of Chinese people were submerged in the swamp.

They seemed to be maintaining a standing posture, with only their heads exposed.

They were arranged neatly, with a fixed distance between the heads.

Allowing one to read the two characters "Han Boundary" when looking down from above.

"If there is a Han Boundary, then there must be a Chu River."

Chen Mo walked quickly along the bank of the swamp and soon discovered another set of characters composed of wax statues.

It was the mirrored characters "Chu River".

"Now it shouldn't be hard to understand. It's very likely that on the other side of the river, there are 6 other players."

"And... this division of Chu River and Han Boundary means we are very likely on the opposite side from them."

"Killing the players of the opposing faction might be our condition for clearing the dungeon."

"This also explains why the Dormitory would be for 12 people."

"The Dormitory door must be locked at night. This is not just to prevent the Dorm Manager from entering, but also because outsiders might come in," Jiang Xinyi analyzed.

"You are right, but it's also possible that this is a misconception from the Thriller Game."

"Perhaps the Thriller Game just wants to incite opposition among the players in this way."

"It's also possible that we 12 people are actually one team," Chen Mo offered his opinion.

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi did not refute.

The situation is nothing more than these two possibilities. As for whether it will be opposition or cooperation, it still depends on the subsequent exploration of the dungeon.

Although the distance was far, everyone could see clearly that on the other side of the swamp was a group of Chinese-style villages.

Same as them.

The location where Chen Mo and the others were had a church.

And on the opposite bank, there was a more prominent building: a Chinese-style temple.

"In any case... returning to the Dormitory before dark, we should be able to see the other 6 people."

"Chen Mo, there is about an hour until dark. Should we return to the Dormitory now or continue searching for clues?" Lu Chengfeng asked.

Chen Mo glanced at the Management Group and said, "Continue searching for clues."

"Time in the Thriller Game is precious. Obtaining more information in the early stages can improve survival probability."

"For every additional day experienced, the difficulty of the dungeon will also upgrade."

In the following time, everyone followed what Chen Mo said, paying attention to whether there were any oddly shaped wax statues in the town.

"Chen Mo! Chen Mo! I found a wax statue that looks like a fish person here."

"I found a wax statue here with an old man's face and a child's body."

"Is this an alien? Why are the head and eyes both so big?"

The fish person wax statue that Su Qing found also had a small note on its back.

She secretly handed it to Chen Mo, asking him to see if he could find anything.

However, everyone was present at the moment, so it wasn't convenient to check. Chen Mo decided to look again when they returned to the Dormitory at night.

Now the focus should be on finding the two special pavilions mentioned by the Management Group.

One is the Demon Pavilion, and the other is the King Wax Statue.

Although everyone was acting in batches, they kept a fixed search range.

To avoid danger and be able to provide timely assistance.

Chen Mo had not been looking for wax statues.

The buildings in this town were intricate, and almost every building had wax statues inside. Time was tight, and searching blindly was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What Chen Mo was really looking for was a guide map of the town.

Although this is a town, the locations of different wax statues all matched the scenes.

For example, the fish person wax statue that Su Qing just found.

It was right next to a candle fountain.

And the old man's face wax statue that Xu Xiaoman found was located on a bench in the courtyard of a nursing home.

The alien wax statue that Lu Chengfeng saw was in a phone booth.

"The King's wax statue should also be a matching scene, but there is no palace or travel scene at all."

Just as Chen Mo was stroking his chin, thinking while walking past the entrance of a toy store.

His footsteps suddenly retreated.

He stopped in front of the transparent glass door of the toy store.

Chen Mo crouched down halfway, looking at the dazzling array of toys inside through the glass.

Finally, his gaze rested on the inside of a crystal ball, and he looked closely.

"It's here?"
