Chapter 379 Mask Game
Deng Xuan stared at the young man in sportswear and reached out to hold his shoulders until he returned the same way. "Friend, are you looking for someone?"
?The young man looked at him strangely. Deng Xuan let go of his hand and said, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
?The young man nodded and walked out. Deng Xuan spoke to the communication device behind him: "Brother Jing, I''m going back first."
Deng Xuan left the store and walked into the crowd. The two companions outside also dispersed in different directions.
Xu Huo drank the juice and chose a different direction. Deng Xuan and the others only paid attention to him for less than half a minute. They didn''t pay attention to him since he left the beverage shop, but the other two were far away. People stared at him until he walked out of the shopping mall, and one of them followed him all the way to the comprehensive bus station.
Pretending that he didn''t notice anyone following him, he entered the station without getting on the train. Instead, he sneaked to the storage point. He chose a passerby who looked rich and used his electronic card to pull out the mobile locker. After groping for a while, I closed it again. When I left, I accidentally knocked over the half-cup of juice that I hadn''t finished.
?He didn''t care when the juice poured all over the floor. He walked out in a hurry and got on the suspended train.
The person following him did not follow him, but turned around and went to the storage point. When the other person''s gaze shifted, the value of his good friend also began to decrease. Xu Huo knew that he was going to check the locker.
?At the next stop, he went into the bathroom and changed into a clown suit, took out the "elusive screaming chicken" and fed it some juice.
Feeding food to the Screaming Chicken allows it to track the target, but only if the other party also comes into contact with the same thing, such as rice grains or chewing gum standing on the soles of shoes, or fruit juice pulp with special ingredients added.
?The station’s cleaning robot arrives within a minute of spotting a stain, the person following it checks the locker, and with any luck, the Screaming Chicken can lock onto the target.
“Goo!” The big yellow chicken made of rubber tilted its head, its red eyes bulged, kicked off his hand and fell to the ground, flapped its false wings, pecked the ground symbolically, and walked out.
? Xu Huo took out the sticker flyer he had prepared in advance and followed it out of the station.
?There are many businesses in District 011 that use props to attract customers, so you often see some entertainment props on the street, so a rubber chicken walking in front of a clown handing out flyers is not noticeable.
Thirty minutes later, Xu Huo found the middle-aged man who was following him and followed him through the downtown area to a real-person simulation game building.
?In this avant-garde entertainment venue, a company spent a lot of money to buy some copy guides and then made a holographic simulation game, specifically for those who want to seek excitement but don’t want to take the risk of actually entering the game.
? Xu Huo lifted the Screaming Chicken up and hung it on his belt, and began to circle around the building. It wasn''t until he had almost handed out the flyers that the Screaming Chicken''s head finally turned away from the game building.
?This time the middle-aged man did not stay on the road. He took a car to a residential area and got off the car outside one of the buildings.
The slightly higher-end residences in District 011 are all called natural oxygen bars. They have independent gardens outside and inside the buildings. Although the buildings are independent, there are anti-riot electronic walls outside each building. Those who do not have access cards can only go through the building. Walk outside the aisle.
?Seeing that no one was planning to go out, Xu Huo went to the nearby independent reading room and checked the information about the game building and this residence through the Internet and found that they were both properties owned by Rongxin Group.
Rongxin Group is well-known in District 011, involved in many industries such as real estate, home furnishings, film and television, games, etc. There are advertisements for this group everywhere on the street. It has strong capital and ambiguous relations with the government. As a captain of the Law Enforcement Department, Ran Ying, He has also endorsed the company’s holographic games. Xu Huo came to Area 011 for a short time, and he only had contact with a few people, Ran Ying from the law enforcement department, Shi Youzhi from the game base, and Deng Xuan, the dealer.
He agreed to make a deal with Deng Xuan, but the other party came aggressively. He knew it must be for the player he caught.
He would definitely not let go of the person. Originally, he planned to go back to Area 014 first, but now that the matter has become interesting, he can put the matter of getting the props aside.
?? After following this middle-aged man for three days, Xu Huo waited until he met the other person he was following. The two said hello from a distance on the street and entered the game building one after another.
"Sir, do you want a mask?" A young and beautiful girl came over to greet him, "Today Rongxin has released a new animal-themed palace night game. You can try it for only 9999. This is a new customer discount. Come tomorrow. Not necessarily, we also give you a free simulated mask!”
??The so-called simulation mask is just a curved screen the size of a human face, using animal images to simulate human expressions. The technology content in Zone 011 is not high.
“Sounds interesting.” Xu Huo said.
??The young girl pulled him into the building. At the entrance was a rotunda hall with a sales counter in the center and elevator doors spaced a few meters around. Customers came and went from time to time.
Under the guidance of the girl, Xu Huo chose an Aries cartoon mask with a pink face and said with a smile: "I heard that girls like cute things."
?The young girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Sir, you are so funny. You are so handsome. You don''t have to act cute and you will definitely be liked by many girls."
??A square beam of light was cast from above the sales counter, and the mask descended from above at a constant speed. The girl took it and helped Xu Huo put it on, then led him to the elevator, reaching the 30th floor in a few seconds.
"We have a single-player mode and a multi-player mode here. In the single-player mode, you can have an exclusive operation cabin. In the multi-player mode, three to five guests usually share a room. In both modes, you can move around at will. There is a special prop room It will ensure that you don’t hit the wall or fall down, and everything you do in the room will be faithfully reflected in the game. In addition, this is a palace night tour, and the game will provide you with a free game dress, so you can choose as you like.”
Xu Huo followed her introduction and visited the rooms in the corridor. He caught a glimpse of the man who was interacting with the middle-aged man entering one of the multi-person rooms. He also chose that room.
“There happens to be one vacant seat, this is a five-person room.”
Five fully enclosed cocoon-shaped operating cabins are placed in a circle in the middle. When the girl opened the door, one of the operating cabins happened to be closed.
"I will open the operation cabin for you." The girl pressed the invisible button outside the cabin to open the door and said: "The operation cabin cannot be opened from the outside after you confirm that you have entered the game. You will be very safe if you stay inside. If you want to interrupt the game If so, you can do it yourself, and I wish you a happy game.”
? Xu Huo walked in and put on a pair of in-ear headphones according to the operating instructions. The white operating cabin in front of him immediately switched to a luxurious room with a bit of Baroque architectural style.
