    Chapter 12

    In the early morning of the seventh day, Ye Xu had already woken up early, washed up, put on light casual clothes, and was ready to go out at any time.

    However, today's broadcast said something different.

    "All players please change into their dresses and arrive at the banquet hall on the second floor on time in one hour to participate in the dance party. The dance party lasts for three hours, please do not be late."

    "Please all players change into their dresses..."

    "Please all players change into their dresses..."

    It seems that today's experience project is a dance. And what's really bad is that the dance isn't all day, it only lasts three hours.

    In other words, players must make up half an hour of experience time within three hours. Otherwise, after this time period, the dance party will no longer be held, and players who do not have enough time can only ask for more happiness.

    Ye Xu had a headache after hearing this, and he was going to go to a dance without having breakfast. The key is that he can't dance, can he just watch without dancing?

    It should be possible, otherwise, dancing for half an hour in a row is tiring enough.

    But to be on the safe side, it's best to do a dance. Don't ask to jump for half an hour, at least one has to jump.

    But Ye Xu really doesn't know how to skip radio gymnastics since he was a child. If you really want to dance, you can only dance randomly, and you don't know if you can find a dance partner.

    Otherwise...he finds someone who can't dance like him, so that no one will dislike anyone...

    No matter what, Ye Xu obediently changed into a dress and leather shoes. Ye Xu didn't wear leather shoes much, and it was a little awkward to walk.

    The key is that it was written in the diary that this time the dance party is likely to have escape. It is really inconvenient to run away in leather shoes, and the dress is also inconvenient to move. But he couldn't change his clothes, he had to settle for it.

    One hour was enough time for everyone to change into their dresses and arrive at the banquet hall. As soon as they entered the door, what Ye Xuxian saw was not the handsome men and beauties inside, nor the tour guide standing in the corner, but the food on the long table.

    Ye Xu's eyes lit up immediately, there was food in the banquet, he almost forgot about it!

    It’s easy to have something to eat, and when you’re full, you have the strength to dance and run away. But now that the banquet has not started, Ye Xu did not dare to act rashly. He could only find a corner and wait, staring straight at the various desserts on the table.

    He himself is not too fond of sweets, but he is not qualified to pick and choose when he is hungry, not to mention that sweets can replenish energy quickly. Without a word, Ye Xu aimed at chocolate balls and cream cakes, two high-calorie foods.

    There was still red wine on the table, but Ye Xu didn't dare to get drunk. Alcohol really affected his escape. In order to prevent his mouth from becoming thirsty, Ye Xu could only give up those snacks that seemed to make people want to drink water.

    Each of these desserts looked very delicious. Fortunately, Ye Xu was not a sweet tooth, otherwise he would not be able to control himself.

    The dance party starts on time at 8:30. Generally speaking, this kind of event will not be held early in the morning, but in order to accommodate the players' tasks, this time it is placed in the morning. If it was placed in the afternoon, it is estimated that the players would have fainted from hunger long ago.

    The later seniors started whispering as soon as they came in, and happened to pick a corner not far from Ye Xu to stay.

    "Today's event is really tricky."

    "When we used to experience it, there were at most one or two NPCs nearby. Today, there are so many here. I don't believe that these NPCs are all 'friendly'."

    "Don't touch the things on the table, wait for others to try it before we eat."

    "Yes, and wine, you can't walk without seeing wine."

    "Don't worry, no one dares to drink at this moment. Since this shitty game came out, I have never drank alcohol again."

    This escape game is not like the main god space in other novels. Seniors who pass the customs together will enter the next common world together, and they will be scattered. Therefore, it is difficult to meet acquaintances in the game world, and when you return to the main god space, you will not see other players.

    Just a small, dry room, and a virtual light screen. The only ones that can be opened there are the basic rules of the game and the points store.

    These seniors themselves don't know each other, but it's not easy to be able to quickly get together and know that other seniors love wine. Generally, senior people will hide their personal information tightly, so as not to let others know, so as not to be used by others.

    Ye Xu calmly moved away from them.

    There must be a particularly long-sleeved organizer in this group of seniors who brought them together. Although such people are powerful, they are also very dangerous.

    Ye Xu felt that he was just a little shrimp, and it was better to stay away from the boss. Otherwise, not only will he not be able to hold his thighs, but he will also be used by the boss to become a scapegoat.

    Until 8:30, more than 100 people came to the banquet hall one after another. These people are definitely not just players. After yesterday, the number of players has decreased by at least half, and it is hard to say whether there are still forty people. Therefore, most of the people who came were NPCs.

    Forty players, facing more than three times the number of NPCs, once the escape really starts, it is estimated that it will be a one-sided ghost carnival. Ye Xu couldn't help but feel worried. He looked at the door of the banquet hall and had the urge to run away.

    However, at half past eight, the tour guide closed the door with a smile on his face. I don't know if it is locked or not. If it is locked, it is estimated that I can only "wait to die" in the dance hall.

    "Welcome to the dance party." The host of the dance party was an NPC that she had never seen before. She didn't talk nonsense, she just announced the beginning of the dance party, and then the two NPCs came out and stood in the middle of the dance floor, provoking the opening dance.

    After the opening dance, the guests started their own dance time. Players can find dance partners and dance the first dance with them.

    Because the number of remaining players is exactly even, everyone can find a dance partner. However, after being scattered in the crowd, it was difficult to find. Fortunately, Ye Xu was lucky to find a nearby lady and become a dance partner with her.

    After the dance music started, both of them clumsily entered the dance floor and began to dance awkwardly. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't dance, just learn from other people's movements and follow them around.

    Not many people remained in the lounge area, most of them were on the dance floor. Players who haven't found a dance partner, some are looking for a dance partner in the rest area, some are patronizing and eating, and they don't plan to dance at all.

    Ye Xu ate a lot while taking advantage of the opening dance, but he was quite full at the moment. It's just that eating too many sweets is a little greasy, if you can have a glass of boiled water.

    Four minutes later, the dance was over. Ye Xu and his dance partner said goodbye in a friendly manner and returned to the rest area.

    Ye Xu took the opportunity to check the door and found that it was really locked.

    This is really bad news.

    He had to hide in a corner, hoping the NPCs wouldn't notice him.

    During the intermission, the banquet hall was also very uneven. The tour guide and host suddenly walked towards the two players and dragged them towards the gate without saying a word.

    "Why arrest me?!" The player struggled in panic.

    The tour guide said lightly: "People without a dance partner can't participate in the dance."

    The two players became anxious immediately, and quickly said that the other one who was caught was their dance partner, and they would dance together later. But it was useless. The two NPCs were unselfish and directly "invited" people out of the party.

    Those who do not dance the first dance will have no chance to participate later.

    Not only the two of them, but also other players who were addicted to eating or watching, and who did not end up dancing did not escape the fate of being thrown out. No matter where they shrank, they were quickly found and sent directly out of the banquet hall.

    Ye Xu suddenly felt fortunate, the ball really was going to be dancing, he guessed right.

    But think about it, every previous experience, how can you leave after a walk in the past. Even in duty-free shops, you have to buy something or use something. Come to the dance, of course we have to dance.

    However, dancing is only the first level, and there is escape afterward, which is the real fatality.

    Ye Xu kept staring at the watch, because according to the nature of the game, the escape must start at the exact fifth or tenth time. The gate is estimated to be locked again by the tour guide. If you don't expect to escape from there, you should find a good place to hide.

    But when the tour guide caught people before, it was as easy as installing a locator to find the player's location. Ye Xu was very worried that it would be useless to hide no matter where he went, what should he do then?

    Time passed by minute by minute, and when the twenty-fifth minute came, the dance music stopped slowly. All the NPCs paused, as if they were replaying in slow motion, turned their heads to look at the players around them, and then showed strange smiles.

    Ye Xu's heart was alarming, and he hid in the corner without saying a word.

    Nearly one hundred and fifty NPCs, not all of them rushed towards the player, most of them walked slowly around the hall. It seems to be looking for players, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find that they are just simply executing the "look around" command.

    The NPCs that are truly a threat to players, they don't even have to pretend to look for them, they directly pounce on those players - including those who are hiding.

    Ye Xu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly ran out of the corner, dodging the hands that were reaching out to him. But in a hurry, he couldn't find a good escape direction at all, and there were NPCs in all directions. In desperation, Ye Xu could only find a random direction and plunge into it.

    He was ready to be caught by the NPCs together, and then he was ready to struggle. Unexpectedly, those NPCs didn't pay him any attention at all, and even if they were knocked over by him, they didn't give him a second look.

    Only then did Ye Xu understand that these NPCs are different, and they won't hurt the player!

    This gave Ye Xu a lot of inspiration, and he came up with a solution in a hurry: disguise himself as this kind of background board NPC to avoid the pursuit of other NPCs.

    But there is still a problem, the ghost NPCs seem to be able to identify them and even locate them. His camouflage doesn't make any sense if it doesn't fix that.

    He realized immediately that there was something in him that would allow the ghosts to locate them. As long as this thing is removed, he is likely to be safe!

    So, what does he have that all players have?
