150: Chapter 150 The Circus
Lord Dong left behind the rewards, then took the two palace maids and floated away, walking directly through the wall.
The wall of palace maid wax figures that had blocked Lu Chengfeng and the others now automatically returned to its original position.
Everyone gathered together again to talk about the horror they had just experienced.
"Helping Grandma Run Red Light: This one called Exquisite Piggy Girl is actually pretty good. I thought she was just a vase, but I didn't expect her to be useful at a critical moment."
"Blooming Chrysanthemum: Have you all noticed something?"
"Old Eight: What is it?"
"Blooming Chrysanthemum: Ever since Exquisite Piggy Girl followed Many Children Many Blessings, her Mental Value has actually increased, leaning towards the direction of Many Children Many Blessings."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: So, our information is flawed. This Exquisite Piggy Girl might have a hidden personality that can, to some extent, influence the rules of the Thriller Game."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: Strange, it's too strange."
"Disturbing the Moon: I hate her. I hate all girls who have contact with Many Children Many Blessings."
"I Am Not Mentally Ill: Uh... there is another bug issue. It's her Nurse outfit; there is something else in the small bag, it's a bit like cheating."
"I Am Not Mentally Ill: It's that tablet she obtained at No. 18 Hospital. Originally, the Wax Museum building at night should be scrambled, which would affect the players' clearance time."
"I Am Not Mentally Ill: But with this tablet, it's equivalent to having a real-time updated map. Damn, previous Nurse outfits shouldn't have had these effects."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: Now that you mention it, that's true."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: Previous Nurse outfits only allowed for an extra 10% favorability when in contact with ghosts, and the small bag shouldn't be able to be brought out of the dungeon."
"Sky Dumpling: I was helping the Group Leader collect clues earlier and didn't watch the No. 18 Hospital dungeon, but don't you all think one thing is very strange?"
"Old Eight: What's strange again? Why do I have a feeling of falling into a trap?"
"Sky Dumpling: The Thriller Game usually pulls people in randomly, but why? In No. 18 Hospital, all the teammates matched with Many Children Many Blessings were his classmates? This isn't reasonable. If it were to pull people, it should have pulled them from other schools."
"Sky Dumpling: An entire class entering the Thriller Game at the same time, this is simply impossible!"
"Old Eight: Indeed, we have watched over 100 newbie dungeons, and the people who come in almost don't know each other because this is also a principle of the Thriller Game; acquaintances easily form small groups."
"Old Eight: Only after clearing the newbie dungeon and obtaining a profession can you unlock features like duo-queue."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: If that's the case, this Human Wax Museum is also very strange. Many Children Many Blessings and Piggy Girl are actually teammates? The remaining teammates are also almost all acquaintances."
"Sunny Turns Cloudy: They didn't activate the duo-queue feature; rather, the Thriller Game defaulted them directly into being teammates!"
"Break Up With Math: Small probability events are possible. Brother Dumpling, you're overthinking it. Pfft! Why did I end up with math again?"
Seeing the information mentioned by these Administrators, Chen Mo also felt a bit strange.
He had thought that the matching mechanism of the Thriller Game was just that it was easy to enter with people around you.
The more times you clear dungeons together, the easier it is to enter the next dungeon together.
However, looking at the words in the Management Group, plus the relationship distribution of the 6-person group opposite, one could discover...
Only his side had all 6 people who knew each other.
The people who knew each other on the opposite side should all be duo-queue.
Forbidden Young Master and Little Fatty, Boyfriend and Couple Woman.
It is indeed a bit strange.
In any case, these are not things he needs to think about right now.
He only knew that there was still a good thing in Su Qing's small bag!
"Su Qing, have you checked your small bag?" Chen Mo pointed at the crossbody bag on Su Qing's waist.
"No, I've only worn this blood-stained Nurse outfit once since I got home."
"The scent of this rouge box is too strong. I was afraid of attracting some bad things, so I tried to find a way to hide it."
"However, even when put into the system backpack, there was still a scent, so I put it into the small bag of the Nurse outfit and discovered that it could hide the scent inside."
"Take a look now and see if there is anything else inside."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing looked puzzled.
But she still followed what Chen Mo said and reached her hand into the small bag. Very quickly, she touched a square object.
"A tablet? The tablet from No. 18 Hospital is still here!"
Sure enough, nothing could escape the eyes of the Management Group, unless the item was put into the system backpack.
"Um... Chen Mo, you take these 100 horror coins. You already gave the Dorm Manager 200."
Su Qing took out the 100 horror coins she had just obtained.
"It's fine. I just temporarily gave them to the Dorm Manager for safekeeping. I will steal the money back—no! Take it back."
"Steal?!"
Su Qing was even more puzzled.
"Let's first look at the information on those two notes," Chen Mo said.
Everyone sat cross-legged on the cushions, and Su Qing read out the information on the notes.
This time, Chen Mo couldn't hide anything privately; when Lord Dong gave the rewards just now, everyone saw it clearly.
Lighting a candle, by the dim candlelight.
Su Qing began to read.
"1812, at that time the flames of war were raging, and the whole country was undergoing an independence movement."
"The British claimed to be the overlords of the ocean, while the French claimed to be the overlords of the land, but I knew that the country I was in had even greater ambition."
"Separated by the ocean, we didn't have a new name and could only call ourselves New Englanders."
"Caring about the news and giving a portion of our supplies to the country is what insignificant existences like us should do. The rest of the matters are for those big shots to consider."
"Perhaps just a conflict between the big shots would sacrifice the lives of countless youths, and then death and bloodshed would follow."
"Our hometown was attacked, and we could only become outsiders, heading to other cities."
"My sister and I were invited to a Circus. I heard that in this era of raging war, a Circus touring the country was the most profitable. I needed money, I needed bread!"
"But I was still too naive. This was a strange Circus, no! It should be called eerie."
"Because what performed on stage weren't lions or bears, but living, breathing people!"
"Every time I saw those human-looking men and women come in to visit, and they all showed expressions of astonishment, it made me feel nauseous."
"But I was still very grateful to the Circus Master for introducing me to this job. It was easy and could earn bread, allowing my sister and me to barely survive."
"Until that day arrived, everything became a nightmare."
"Later I realized that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. My sister and I were actually just the Circus Master's toys. His purpose in inviting us was to create new toys!"
"I was drugged. It was a very special drug that made me go into a beastly rage, unable to control myself."
"Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, but I still looked at my sister huddled in the corner."
"I knew... after that night, we two were no longer brother and sister."
