Infinite Mask Game

Chapter 3 Prisoner's Game



[Instructions for ranking: Completing the mission means successfully passing the level. 】

[The tasks are divided into "camouflage" and "main line". The system will give you an avatar and give you a specific character introduction. You need to play the role according to the system description. The degree of completion will affect the final settlement. In the final stage of the main mission, the assessment requirements are relaxed. Now is the best time for you to take off your disguise and reveal your true face! If the "curtain call" is triggered, your settlement evaluation will rise significantly! 】

[Warning: This is a immersive experience, and states such as hunger, thirst, sleepiness, and exhaustion are not blocked. Please replenish your energy in time. 】

A deep male voice ended at the end: "Having the mask taken off is a kind of failure, but taking off the mask is a kind of victory."

Cut scene CG lights up in the dark.

The blond young man Wei Miao saw before is the protagonist of the picture. He was wearing prison uniform and sitting on an iron chair, his thin, heavily shackled hands resting on the table, inside the iron room.

Next to him were two security guards with guns, staring at him with sharp eyes.

Outside the cage, opposite him stood a capable woman in a professional suit. She was holding a folder in her hand and was flipping through something.

She closed the folder, frowned slightly, and said with a look of disgust: "It's a heinous crime!"

The blond young man played with his fingers and looked at her calmly.

"Lorraine White." The woman called out his name, "You were supposed to step on the guillotine in a week, but now, an opportunity has chosen you."

Lorraine White said politely, "Please."

"This is a life-threatening game. You will wear a high-tech collar with a miniature time bomb hidden in it. If it is damaged, the collar will explode directly."

"Then you will go to a hotel with several death row inmates. There is a magnetic card that serves as the key hidden in a corner of the hotel. If you survive in the end, your death sentence will be converted into a life sentence. If you behave well in the future, you will be given a life sentence. There is a chance for a reduced sentence.”

The woman took out a silver collar and a white magnetic card with a red six-pointed star printed on the surface from the brown handbag.

She put the magnetic card close to the collar. First, there was a crisp snapping sound from the empty space, and then there was an electronic sound of "beep", and a scarlet countdown appeared on the LCD screen on the surface of the collar.

7:00:00.

As time passed, the number jumped and became 6:23:59.

She swiped her card again, the electronic screen flashed three times and the numbers disappeared.

Lorraine stared at the silver collar with a cold expression.

The woman said coldly: "The choice is yours whether to participate in the game or not. We will sign a contract with you."

Several pages bound together were handed to him by the guard.

At this moment, the camera gave Lorraine a close-up. He carefully flipped through several pieces of paper and read them very carefully.

Soon, he raised his head and showed a strange smile, like the uncontrollable joy of a predator when he finds his prey, his beautiful blue eyes sparkling.

He pondered for a while and said: "Is the key shared by everyone? Is there a risk of wandering in the hotel?"

Woman: "The keys are shared. As for the hotel, you'll know after you join the game."

Lorraine took the pen and signed the contract in elegant handwriting: "That's it."

The woman took away the contract: "In a week, someone will pick you up from prison."

Lorraine crossed her fingers and raised her head slightly. Her eyes seemed to have penetrated the dark walls of the prison and saw the daylight in the sky.

The picture disappears with a shattering effect, and the surrounding darkness fades.

Wei Miao saw her hand.

A pair of slender, well-jointed hands. Due to their thinness, the blue blood vessels on the back of the hands are bulging.

It is also a pair of hands suitable for holding a knife.

The seat beneath her shook slightly, and when she turned her head, she saw heavily armed guards sandwiching her on the left and right.

Looking up again, I was facing a rearview mirror. In the mirror, her face was no longer wearing a gray rabbit hood, but a familiar and delicate face, with piercing blue eyes and something sharp hidden in the depths.

This is Lorraine's face.

Wei Miao quickly made a judgment on the current situation.

She was in a car being escorted by guards. She is not using the player's body now, but replacing Lorraine, similar to role-playing. ♦♦  ♦♦

Wei Miao saw her outfit clearly through the window glass and other means. It was exactly how Lorraine first appeared in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, a striped white shirt, khaki pants, and black sneakers.

However, a silver collar has been put on his neck and the timer has started, like a pair of big hands strangling Wei Miao's throat.

The remaining time is 6:23:29. The time displayed on the on-board monitor is 08:31.

This could also explain why the supervision of a condemned prisoner was so lax, even handcuffs were not added.

It seems that in order to give Wei Miao time to react, the task prompt came late.

[Introduction to the copy: This is a world where ghosts are rampant, and it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people and spiritualists alike. Lorraine White has been given a chance to avoid the death penalty if he can survive with your help. Such a heinous criminal, his life is in your hands. 】

[Number of players in this instance: 4]

[Main mission: Survive successfully after seven days. 】

[Disguise Mission: Lorraine White]

[Keywords: gentle, gentleman, crazy, cold, low-key, pretending to be innocent, fighting expert]

After reading the introduction, Wei Miao had a general understanding of the copy as a whole. Overall, this is probably a supernatural copy.

Soon, the car stopped on the side of the road. The guard on one side got out first, and Wei Miao got out of the car. The guard on the other side followed her and grabbed her arm.

Wei Miao narrowed her eyes slightly. The strong and warm sunlight made her body, which had been under artificial light for a long time, feel a little uncomfortable.

In front of her was a tall and magnificent hotel, with old traces of wind and rain on the surface.

Wei Miao walked into the hotel under the instructions of the guard.

When the mahogany door was about to close, she looked back and saw another car driving into the empty parking lot.

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel was spacious and bright. Behind the counter sat a brown-haired man with deep facial features. The stubble on his chin was trimmed cleanly. He looked about 30 years old and quite elegant.

There was already a man sitting on the long sofa opposite. He had messy hair and a tough face. The dark blue short shirt could not hide his sturdy figure and well-developed arm muscles.

Wei Miao looked at her arm, then looked at him, and felt that this man might be able to crush her to death with one hand.

Most importantly, he also wore a collar around his neck.

The man behind the counter didn't even raise his head, playing with his phone: "Sit down first."

Wei Miao walked to the sofa consciously and sat down one body away from the man.

"Hi, hello, my name is Anderson King!"

The stranger on the sofa grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and greeted her first.

Wei Miao responded gently: "I'm Lorraine White."

"White." Anderson repeated her name, lowering his rough voice, "Do you play games?"

Wei Miao: "I can play some."

Anderson: "Have you heard of the game 'Masquerade'?"

Wei Miao understood his hidden meaning in seconds: "Are you a player?"

There were virtual role-playing games before "Masquerade", but they were far inferior to it in terms of picture quality and immersion. In the game, the highly intelligent AI will distinguish the player's words and respond. If you discuss the "fact" of this game face to face, you may even be regarded as a psychopath by the NPC and be killed by the plot.

So, Wei Miao replied: "Of course, this is a very interesting game."

Anderson smiled with relief: "That's good."

Suddenly, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and a graceful woman walked in. She had wavy blonde hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a white long skirt, black stockings and high heels, and a beige sweater on her upper body, elegant and charming.

Anderson's eyes were a little straight, and Wei Miao looked at her with the eyes of a work of art, with calm blue eyes.

To be fair, she is a very charming beauty.

However, the collar locked on her slender neck is enough to prove that her beautiful skin is probably not matched with noble qualities, but evil that is proportional to her beauty.

"Hi!" She gave them a perfect smile.

"Sit down first, there is one more person."

The man behind the counter still didn't raise his eyes. In his eyes, except for the mobile phone, everything else seemed to be a passing cloud.

The woman nodded slightly, walked towards them with a cat-like step, and squeezed into the empty space between Wei Miao and Anderson with a deep meaning.

Anderson's hands and feet were a little cramped and at a loss, while Wei Miao smiled gently and said, "Good morning, beautiful lady, my name is Lorraine White."

The woman turned her head towards her, and Wei Miao could smell the faint scent of perfume on her body: "Hello, I'm Edith Garden."

Anderson on the side regained the courage to strike up a conversation and introduced himself with a bright smile.

From his dizzy smile, it can be seen that the strong man has succumbed to her pomegranate skirt.

And this woman, to put it nicely, has the talent of a socialite, to put it more precisely, she is sitting on the throne of the Sea King, contemptuously confusing those who have the potential to be a dog.

After a vague conversation in code, Wei Miao and Anderson confirmed Edith's player identity.

Soon, the last member also arrived. He is a capable middle-aged man with a shaved head, sunken eye sockets, a plaid shirt and jeans, and his face is covered with the frost of life.

Of course, the silver collar is also on his neck.

This time, the man behind the counter finally put down his phone, stood up, took out four room cards from the counter drawer, and slapped them on the table.

Wei Miao, Anderson, Edith, and the last man to arrive gathered in front of the counter, wanting to hear what the mysterious administrator had to say.

"They have all told you the rules of the game. The magnetic card is hidden in a secret corner. Without it, you will become a human bomb in seven days and explode into a ball of flesh and blood fireworks in the hotel."

His voice was low, and his words were emotionless. His eyes looking at them could not find the focus, giving people a sense of contempt that was detached from the event.

"You will live on the third floor, choose a room card at random. Here, I just want to emphasize that anyone who breaks into my room without my permission will bear the consequences at their own risk."

Several people looked at each other and took the keys one after another.

Wei Miao got 306.

"My name is Pizza. I am the manager of this hotel. I am only responsible for the maintenance of the hotel. The food for seven days is in the restaurant on the second floor. The rest of the service is up to you."

After saying that, he picked up his phone, turned and went into the back room and closed the door. The room was dimly lit, and Wei Miao couldn't see the layout at all from his angle.

The four people stood in front of the counter, and none of them planned to leave.
