Seeing that the poor protagonist had just woken up, he was ground into minced meat by the cruel mechanism hidden in the pipe, a smile flashed in the beautiful eyes of the "Burning Demon", and there was a little more mockery in his voice:

"You're dead."

"I think it was a misunderstanding." Zhao Nuo sighed a little depressedly.

But at this time, what he was thinking about was something else:

Even though he is currently in G City, he has no way of knowing what is going on with Hellfire. But Zhou Yan's little ghost must be snickering in the office at this moment, right?

When you get home, be sure to press the guy on the couch and spank him......

After a few words of complaining, he restarted the game, looking for a way to get through.

There was nothing else in the study, and the escape route should indeed be the pipe behind the bookshelf. In that case, there must be some switch or something. As for where the hell that thing is-

Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't investigated the bookshelf and hadn't triggered the "Footsteps Incident", Zhao Nuo operated the protagonist to go straight to the door of the study and pressed the investigation button on the inconspicuous light switch:

"Press the switch and the light doesn't respond. But it doesn't feel like it's broken...... What exactly is this switch used for? ”

As a "ghost scriptor", the design of this mechanism is also very tricky - the location of the light switch, after pushing the bookshelf to block the door, will be blocked by the bookshelves.

In other words, if you don't press the switch in advance, you will no longer be able to use the switch after the bookshelf blocks the door, and you will have to wait in the house to die.

Now that you've cracked the mechanism, it's just a matter of repeating the process you just did.

"It's so difficult." Burning Demon commented again.

"The game has just begun, and slowly increasing the difficulty is king."

While Zhao Nuo replied casually, he turned his head to stare at the skeleton pattern on the Demon Burning Mask.

In fact. He knew everyone else on the team, but this guy was the only one he couldn't figure out.

As for why you want to build a team, you have to start from the time when "Hell Capital" was just released......

――――――――

"Hell Capital", which poured out the efforts of Hellfire Entertainment, has received rave reviews after its release, and its sales have been rising.

The year's hard work of these crazy game nerds has not been in vain, and they have really built a world-class game!

Although due to the addition of the execution team. This game is not strictly a domestic stand-alone game, but at this time, no one in the company cares about these problems.

Because, even the freaks of the execution team have finally fully integrated into the collective.

Those who were arrogant not long ago have even started learning Chinese.

What's more, after this war, the name of this emerging game company has finally begun to go abroad. Run to the world!

However, at this celebratory moment, Zhao Nuo handed over the company's affairs to Xia Xiaoling and the Black Hand, and went to G City alone, because-

One of their partners, Supernova, has finally started working on a project that had been planned a year earlier:

-- Create an e-sports competition that can be called a "feast"!

Since the Hellfire company already has a "Hellfire Battle Platform", in order to prevent project conflicts from becoming competitors. On the Supernova side, an invitation letter was also sent. Please ask Zhao Nuo to come over and discuss.

When Zhao Nuo came to G City and negotiated with the leadership of Supernova, it was finally decided that the new esports competition would be held simultaneously on both platforms.

The match will be played on the Hellfire Battle Platform, with the Supernova side streaming the entire match, as for the live venue of the match. There is no suspense in the abandoned "Cloud Paradise Game Hall".

Although this e-sports tournament is still being planned, it is in a sad state where it is impossible to determine what it will be. But Zhao Nuo still began to build a powerful team belonging to Hellfire Entertainment, ready to win this game.

Since this competition is still in its infancy, the content of the competition has not even been determined. Therefore, the team players selected by Zhao Nuo are also some top gods. Or characters who have reached the pinnacle of a single game genre:

THE FIRST IS ENIGMA.

ALTHOUGH ENIGMA WAS A BASTARD WHO PASSED THE INTERVIEW FOR THE SECOND BRANCH OF HELLFIRE, HIS LOOSE PERSONALITY WAS COMPLETELY UNSUITABLE FOR WORK. His laziness in the company is even worse than the recognized "cancer" in Hellfire Entertainment - the planning team.

So, Zhao Nuo also decisively transferred him to this team: for this kind of comic, probably only playing games can make him lift his spirits.

Then, the second person he recruited was Lumino.

――This god, who once led the Chinese team to win the world championship, is at the pinnacle of strength in MOBA games. Ever since losing to himself in Chaos Engine, this man has been unconvinced about winning back.

Therefore, when Zhao Nuo lured him to join the team with the condition of "I will fight with you until I have a good time", this person immediately resigned from the coaching position of the e-sports team and defected to the Hellfire team with full anger.

Although there are not too many salaries here, for a legend like Lumino, who has won millions of dollars, money is not a concern at all!

After successfully taking Lumino under his command, Zhao Nuo planned to go directly to recruit twin girls from the Bird of Paradise Internet Cafe. But before that, he had a chance encounter with the "Burning Demon" in the Supernova Corporation.

……

"Don't be in a daze."

The voice of the burning demon pulled Zhao Nuo's thoughts back into the game, and he saw that the protagonist, who had finally crawled through the pipe alive, had already appeared in a room next to him.

Unlike the previous study, this time it looks like a bedroom.

There was a lot of debris piled up on the rotten floor, and in the corner was a dilapidated wooden bed, and a few blood-stained iron chains protruding from under the bed board were hanging on the ground, which looked like they were originally used to hold someone.

"It's like a cage for a prisoner." Burning Demon commented.

Zhao Nuo nodded, and at the same time, two mission objectives appeared again at the top of the screen:

"Survival Mission Objective: Leave the bedroom (0/1)."

"Investigation Objective: Locate four items in the bedroom: old newspapers, bloodstained tools, suspicious paintings, and vibrators (0/4)."

Seeing the prompt of this mission, Zhao Nuo couldn't help but mutter: "Is there any strange person in the production group of this game?" ”

Although he was complaining, he was at this time. An investigation has already begun.

Of the four items on the mission, the best one to find was undoubtedly the "Suspicious Painting", as there was only one painting hanging on the wall of this bedroom.

Manipulating the protagonist to stand in front of the painting and press the investigation button, what appears on the screen is an old-looking oil painting.

On that painting. There were three tall men in iron gray suits, standing in a dilapidated room, the rest of the picture was clear, but the faces and hands of the three men were strangely blurred, and it was impossible to see what they looked like, nor what they were carrying.

The floor beneath their feet was black, but it looked like it was poorly stained, as each floor was a different color. Some places are deep, some places are shallow. It's like ......

"Is it congealed blood? With this amount of bleeding, that person must be dead. Burning Demon said.

"Hmm." Zhao Nuo nodded gloomily.

In addition, there are other interesting points on the painting:

In the lower right corner of the floor, a large hole appears.

Unlike the black floor, the color of the hole was deep red, and it was almost like it was soaked in blood, and you could smell blood through the screen.

In addition to that, the author's signature is in the lower right corner of the screen. There is also a line of text that may be considered a clue:

"The Night Manager in Don's Bedroom, April 16, 1994."

"What's the Night Manager?" Zhao Nuo muttered.

After the investigation of the painting was concluded. There are only three items left to find in the investigation mission objective.

Zhao Nuokong turned around with the protagonist, and soon found an old yellowed newspaper with bloody footprints in the corner, which read:

In the spring of 1994, Mr. Tang, who worked at a steel mill, was absent from work for a long time, and his family could not reach him...... After calling the police. The police went to the single-family house on the outskirts of the city where Mr. Tang lived and found no trace of him. The disappearance case has become one of the unsolved cases in the local area. ”

Next to the news, there is a photo of Mr. Tang's bedroom, although the black and white photo is blurry, but it can still be vaguely seen. There was a big hole in the floor of that bedroom.

"Could it be that the content of this painting is the scene when 'Mr. Tang' disappeared? If it was spring, it would be reasonable to be killed on April 16. Zhao Nuo quickly made a judgment.

"I think so, too." Burning Demon sat down beside Zhao Nuo and stared intently at the LCD screen.

Although the air conditioner is turned on in the "cloud paradise" at this time, the temperature is not low. But the side where the two of them are located seems to be shrouded in a layer of cold air.

The strength of the ghost scriptwriter has finally come into full play - even if no enemies have shown their faces yet, the hints in the game alone are enough to make the scalp of ordinary players tingle.

However, Zhao Nuo, who has long been immune to horror games, will naturally not be frightened by puzzle games of this level.

In fact, he is just experiencing this work with an attitude of "appreciation".

After investigating the old newspapers, the tip of the iceberg has finally emerged about the general content of the game - it seems that this group of guys in gray suits, known as the "night managers" in the painting, should be the culprits who caused the disappearance!

"Well, then now there are only blood-stained tools and ......" Zhao Nuo said this, and he was a little "speechless" for a while.

"Vibrator." Burning Demon helped him finish the word he hadn't been able to utter.

"That's right, find these two things, and then you can find a way to leave." Zhao Nuo said. (To be continued......)
