Simulate a thousand times, I have a method to speed through the escape game

"Brother, play with me."

The 999th time.

This was the 999th time Zheng Xun heard this line.

Zheng Xun lowered his eyes, and a little girl in red, who was only as tall as his waist, looked up with a stiff smile.

The little girl was wearing a red cloak, a hat covering her head, two braids hanging from her ears, small leather shoes, white socks, and a bamboo basket in her right hand. Except for her extremely pale face, she looked no different from a normal child.

But Zheng Xun knew that in fifteen minutes, the little girl's face would split into four petals from the middle, like an evil blooming demon flower, with sharp teeth on the edge of each petal, and a foreign object with barbs in the middle that looked like a stamen and a tongue!

It has a name, Little Red Riding Hood.

As the final boss of this copy, it has been disguised as a harmless NPC since the beginning of the game, lurking around the player, helping the player to decipher and give various hints.

It will not tear off its fake skin until the last scene "Grandma's House" appears, revealing its true face and eating the player until there is nothing left!

Ordinary players will really be deceived by its cute and pure appearance. When they arrive at the house, they will be scared to death when they see the beautiful girl turn into a troll piranha plant.

But Zheng Xun, who has cleared the level 999 times, is no longer afraid.

Not only is he not afraid, he is even a little numb.

"Sister," Zheng Xun wanted to cry but had no tears, "You killed me 142 times, and I killed you 857 times. Rounding it off, we are even. Can you let me go to the next level?"

Little Red Riding Hood blinked her big round eyes.

"What is brother saying? I don't understand."

"..."

This stupid NPC has no additional voice pack installed. If the player says a little more, it can't interpret it and will only answer "I don't know".

Zheng Xun sighed for a long time and resignedly walked a few steps to the right front.

The place where he is currently is the player's resurrection point, which is also the starting point of the game. Here, the new player will start a conversation with the NPC Little Red Riding Hood, who will guide the player to receive a weapon.

There is a locker in front of Zheng Xun on the right, which is also the "weapon rack".

The locker is divided into two parts, the upper part is covered with transparent glass, and the lower part is a solid wood cabinet door. It looks ordinary, but it is actually very interesting.

Mace, iron axe, sickle as high as a person... everything is available.

There are a total of ten different weapons, and Zheng Xun has tried them one by one.

He picked up the most inconspicuous inflatable hammer in the corner.

This inflatable hammer is about 1.5 meters long, painted in pink, which is loved by tough guys. There are two symmetrical star logos on the hammer body, and there is a playful creaking sound when it is knocked.

A children's toy that no normal player would choose.

Zheng Xun, who has cleared the game for more than 900 times, naturally has a reason to choose it. The inflatable hammer is light and easy to use. The key is that after the lid at the bottom of the handle is opened, there are two modes of "normal/enhanced" for switching. This is the secret that Zheng Xun discovered when he played the game for the 458th time.

However, it takes three seconds to switch modes, so you have to calculate it well in battle. The inflatable hammer in enhanced mode is as heavy as a thousand pounds. Only when you switch modes when both hands make a hammer-dropping action can it be effective, otherwise you will sprain your waist.

This is a combat skill that Zheng Xun mastered after spraining his waist three hundred times.

With weapons in hand, the player is ready.

Little Red Riding Hood ran over with her leather shoes.

"Hello, strange brother, can you do me a favor? I am Honghong who lives in the Lucky Community next door. My mother asked me to visit my grandmother who lives in the Happy Community. I..."

Little Red Riding Hood's voice suddenly became dull because Zheng Xun pinched her nose with one hand.

Eyes.

And mouth.

Then he put his hands behind his back.

"Why can't I skip the plot?"

Little Red Riding Hood:...

After a suspicious pause, the NPC continued to explain the background of the story.

Zheng Xun was so bored that he scratched his hands.

There was no other way. He had tried it hundreds of times. The NPC dialogue could not be skipped, otherwise his clearance time could be shortened.

Finally, he waited for the last sentence "Let's go", and Zheng Xun flew out like an arrow from a string.

The Little Red Riding Hood dungeon is divided into three main scenes: the street, the stairs, and the grandmother's hut.

The monsters in the first two scenes are not difficult, and novices are more than enough. The abnormal thing is that the third scene, the grandmother's hut, actually put three bosses, the wolf, the grandmother, and the final boss Little Red Riding Hood. The three bosses are disguised and have a killing order. Newcomers must first identify their identities, then defeat them one by one, and finally beware of "the fatal blow given by the simple Little Red Riding Hood".

But in the eyes of Zheng Xun, who has cleared the level 999 times, these are not a problem.

He crossed the street quickly, killed three wolf spiders at the second, seventh, and ninth intersections, stood at the steamed bun stall on the corner and listened to the boss's nagging for a long time, got half of an old photo, and got the other half on the bulletin board.

Entering the corridor, he lowered his body and got into the water tank on the third floor to avoid the pursuit of the upside-down woman. After the other party wandered around four times, he climbed out of the tank, went up to the fourth floor, and entered the grandmother's hut.

There was a pair of real and fake grandmothers in the hut, smiling sinisterly to welcome Zheng Xun and Little Red Riding Hood. Zheng Xun waited for them to finish laughing, there was nothing he could do, this was also part of the plot.

Then he didn't even need to put together the clues, pointed to the one on the left and said "You are a wolf", and the one on the right said "You are a dead grandmother", while giving a hammer.

"And you."

Zheng Xun turned around and faced Little Red Riding Hood with a huge mouth of the abyss. An inflatable hammer was stuffed into its mouth.

The game was over.

The old scenes around him slowly dissipated like a collapsed sand castle.

In the silent darkness, there was a glowing road. This narrow and long road was like a thin line hanging above the endless abyss. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

But Zheng Xun, who had walked 999 times, could only say that he could finish it with his eyes closed.

It was no different from before. For the 1000th time, Zheng Xun walked on this road, sighing as he walked.

In his previous life, he died suddenly due to overtime work in 007. After waking up, he came to this hell. He didn't know what the point was of clearing the level a thousand times, which was better than going to hell.

...

Could he be in hell already? !

Otherwise, why torture people over and over again? !

This idea shocked Zheng Xun a little. He was a little confused, his feet softened for a moment, and he suddenly felt his body floating in the air.

Ah?

…

Ahhhhhh——

Zheng Xun screamed and fell into the endless darkness. After an unknown amount of time, he felt himself being hit hard on the ground, which stunned him for a long time.

“Are you okay?”

He vaguely heard someone talking.

He thought he was hallucinating. When his vision became clear again, everything around him was still familiar.

The gray sky, the long empty street, and only a few sad bird calls in the silence.

“Huh, it turns out that I’m back to the resurrection point.”

Zheng Xun was relieved and regretful, and was ready to start his 1001st hunting operation of Little Red Riding Hood.

But this time was a little different.

He stared at the nine strangers in front of him, alert.

“Who are you?”

The nine people were dressed differently, both men and women, and they didn’t look like a group of people, and they all looked nervous.

A girl in sportswear replied timidly.

“We…are all players, aren’t you?”

Players?

New players!

Zheng Xun’s eyes were shining brightly, and the girl opposite him was scared to think he was going to eat people.

"Don't be afraid," Zheng Xun raised his hands to show that he was harmless, "I just haven't seen a living person for too long."

"..."
