Their locations are very scattered, so even if there are hundreds of thousands of people in total, there are only a few dozen people gathered in each theater.

There were only five or six scattered people in the hall. Shi Wang walked to the entrance of the projection hall, looked up, and saw a LED two-color display screen above the entrance, marked with a line of green numbers: 9/10.

Shi Wang immediately thought of the room matching mode of e-sports games. This number seems to mean that each auditorium can only enter ten people, while the one in front of him already has nine people.

There is only one position left, which obviously does not meet the requirements of Shi Wang's team.

Lu Yuxing walked to a screening room next to it that displayed 10/10, pushed the door, and found that it was locked.

Qi Zhe noticed that the innermost auditorium happened to be 7/10. He touched Shi Wang's back with his finger and reminded, "Go over there."

This time they opened the door smoothly and walked in on the red felt carpet. There were already seven people in the auditorium, but the lights inside were not turned on, only the huge curtain was on. The dim light made it impossible for Shi Wang to recognize these people.human face.

After they entered, the door locked automatically, and the number on the screen changed from green 7/10 to red 10/10,

Shi Wang was inexplicably nervous, he leaned towards Qi Zhe, and said in a low voice: "Chief Qi, what kind of game do you think this is?"

Qi Zhe pondered for a moment, "Associating the movie theater with the number limit, I think it might be role-playing."

Shi Wang opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly a slender figure appeared on the big screen, and the man interrupted with a smile in his usual cynical tone: "Bingo, you got the answer right, one point... just kidding."

Shi Wang was startled, and quickly turned his head to look, the movie on the curtain began to play, but there was only one leading actor, that person was wearing a familiar fox mask, Shi Wang recognized who he was at a glance.

A puff of white smoke rose out of thin air and exploded in front of the auditorium. The almost airtight space was suddenly enveloped in white mist. The two people in the front row coughed and ran to the back.

The exhaust fan in the corner began to hum, and soon the smoke dissipated, and the curtain had returned to blank, but the characters in the movie suddenly entered reality.

Foxer stood in front of the curtain, smiled and waved to Shi Wang, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Shi Wang didn't like him very much, he stood there with his arms folded, and said coldly: "Playing tricks, I'm sick."

Foxer was disgusted by the young master, he was slightly sad, his eyes lost a lot, his work attitude immediately became negative, he found a chair and sat down casually, and said in a bored way: "Ah, you can play whatever you want, you will dieForget it."

Shi Wang: "..."

Is it sick? Why is this group of villains getting sicker than the other? Only Dean is normal.

The other contestants didn't figure out the way, and they were a little panicked. The atmosphere in the air suddenly became agitated, and they whispered and whispered.

"What's the meaning?"

"What's going on? What is this for?"

Shi Wang let out a breath impatiently, and frowned, "Can you be a little more professional, at least explain the rules of the game."

"Okay, okay." Foxer shrugged, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Then let's choose the game script first."

Countless movie images suddenly flashed across the screen, like a revolving lantern, and then the speed of changing gradually slowed down, and finally stopped on a movie poster, which said "Cops and Thieves".

"You seem to have drawn a very interesting script." Rong Yu suddenly sent a text message, Shi Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then looked up at the four corners of the ceiling, but he didn't see the camera.

Shi Wang thought for a while, took the phone and replied: "Can you see me?"

Rong Yu avoided answering this, but said in his usual gentle tone: "I am looking forward to your performance, baby, but don't be too playful, remember to eat and rest on time."

Shi Wang wanted to ask something, but Foxer suddenly spoke again.

"Before explaining the content of the script, let's assign the roles first. There will be seven thieves and three policemen in this game. The identities of each of them are randomly assigned to their personal watches. Take a look for yourself."

Lu Yuxing glanced at his watch, approached Qi Zhe and Shi Wang calmly, and said in a voice that only they could hear clearly: "My identity is a thief."

Qi Zhe looked at it, "Me too."

The two of them looked at Shi Shi together, expecting each other to be on the same side.Shi Wang looked at the screen of his watch, and a cartoon image of a policeman appeared on it.

He choked up his throat, "I'm...the police."

Foxer seemed to have heard their conversation, smiled slightly, and raised his right hand in greeting: "Okay, where are the other two policemen, please let me see."

A certain man who was hiding in a dark corner and who had been silent from the beginning to the end slowly stood up.

An inscrutable smile appeared on Yan Ting's face, "Me too, the policeman."

One Hundred Dukes

Five minutes later, the ten people in the room had split into teams, seven "thieves" and three "policemen". Besides Shi Wang and Yan Ting, the other "policeman" was a man in his thirties, dressed in whiteShirt and trousers, the hem of the clothes is tucked into the belt, and the hair is combed back neatly. It seems that he is a very serious and calculating figure.

The name is very popular, called Wang Peng, which sounds like a cannon fodder character in a horror novel.

He stood beside Yan Ting without saying a word, and used his position to divide himself and the other party into the same front. It seemed that he had sensed the strength of this man and wanted to cling to him, not to mention that they really belonged to the same camp now.

Yan Ting stretched out his hand to Shi Wang on purpose, and said with a playful smile, "Come here, we are on one side now, what are you doing standing next to the enemy?"

Shi Wang gritted his teeth and stared at him fiercely, "Get out!"

He can guarantee that this identity is definitely not randomly assigned, and it is full of malice. Qi Zhe is obviously a soldier, but he got the role of a bandit, and Yan Ting, that heinous bastard, turned out to be a policeman?It's just ridiculous.

Qi Zhe pressed his hand and said calmly: "Don't be impulsive, listen to the rules of the game first."

"The rules of the game are very simple. The way for the thieves to win is to steal a famous painting in the castle. For the police, if they want to win, they must catch all the thieves and put them in an underground prison."

Foxer sat on the armrest of the chair with his legs crossed, and smiled evilly, "It doesn't matter whether you live or die."

Yan Ting was in harmony with him in a certain way, and immediately agreed: "Oh, it means that as long as I kill these seven people, it will be fine."

Foxer glanced at him, and said slyly: "Player, I didn't say that, I just explained the rules, but the game is free, and I will not interfere with your actions."

Shi Wang frowned deeply, aware of the crisis.A dangerous person like Yan Ting doesn't care about the rules at all. The law can't restrain him. The rules of the game are nothing.

Foxer looked at him, and added again, "But you still have to respect the opinions of your companions, it's not good to fight alone."

Shi Wang turned over Byakugan in his heart, he would rather die than be teammates with a bastard like Yan Ting, Wang felt physically uncomfortable when he was in the same room with him.

The picture on the curtain began to change slowly, presenting the background of the game to the contestants:

According to legend, in the middle of the last century, there was a duke in England with a prominent family background and wealth that could rival the country. He was proficient in business and politics, knowledgeable, highly cultivated and elegant, and was familiar with aristocratic culture and etiquette. He was an almost perfect gentleman., all noble ladies fell in love with him.

But the duke is not interested in the love of men and women. Instead, he likes to collect art, whether it is oil painting, sculpture, or porcelain, everything is exquisite and priceless. He even built a tall and gorgeous on the cliffThe castle is used to store these precious collections.

Shi Wang is familiar with this plot, because his colleague Jiang Chengle is like this. He specially bought an apartment near the company to house his colorful cartoon plastic figures.

Although Jiang Chengle repeatedly emphasized to him that these are out-of-print figures, Shi Wang thinks they are plastic villains no matter how they look at them.

As for the setting of this game, the seven thieves went to steal the oil painting called "The Treasure in the Castle", and the three policemen were invited by the Duke to protect the painting.

The content of the game is a bit like script killing, but it is different from the previous game where they were forced to die. This time their opponents are only each other, which means they can control the winning or losing of the game.For example, they want the thieves to win, as long as the police are passive and sabotage.

The punishment mechanism of the game is not too harsh, 30 points are added for victory, and 70 points are deducted for failure.

Shi Wang was absent from the game for more than ten days, and his score was far behind Qi Zhe and the others. But after winning the last game, his score has increased to 90, not counting the ten points that exist in Rong Yu, but it is enough to last this timePoints were deducted, and Qi Zhe and Lu Yuxing didn't have to worry about it.

Qi Zhe said in a deep voice: "It's better to let you win. After deducting 70, you are only left with 20. It will be very dangerous."

Before Shi Wang could speak, a girl next to him suddenly said nervously: "No... I only have 60 points, I will deduct another point, I..."

Another man who was also a thief raised his hand eagerly, squeezed into their conversation circle, and said anxiously, "I, I only have 50 points. If I lose this game, I will die!"

Shi Wang looked around, among the ten of them, only two thieves scored below 70 points, which meant that if everyone wanted to survive, the thieves had to win, but would Yan Ting agree?

Shi Wang hesitated and said, "Why don't we let the thieves win..."

Wang Peng watched coldly, and said meanly: "Why should I make sacrifices for people who have nothing to do with me? In this situation, one point less may kill me, let alone 70 points."

Although he clearly has 150 points now.

Shi Wang was stunned for a moment, "But if they lose, they will die immediately..."

"Then what does it matter to me? You can't kidnap me with morality, right? What if I deduct points now, the points won't be enough in the future?"

Shi Wang was silent. He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He took it for granted that everyone was the same as himself, planning the overall survival rate, but in fact, it was enough for the contestants to take care of themselves. Self-interest is humanThere is nothing wrong with nature.

——They just want to live.

Shi Wang said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you, you can work hard to win this game, this is your freedom, but I will do what I want."

Persons who walk different paths cannot make plans together, everyone has their own choice, Wang Peng chooses himself, Shi Wang can also choose his friends and the overall situation, no one has the right to blame the other party.

Wang Peng stared at him coldly, "You mean you're going to side with the thieves? If that's the case, then why not just let you go now..."

He turned his head to look at Yan Ting, and immediately changed his face again, and asked flatteringly, "Look, do you want to deal with him now to prevent future troubles?"

Yan Ting smiled, "Should I get rid of you as a double-faced person first, so as to prevent future troubles?"

Wang Peng fell silent in an instant, and retreated embarrassingly.

Yan Ting looked at Shi Wang again, and half-truthfully said: "Why don't you beg me, maybe if I'm happy, this game will be straight to the water, or you're also morally kidnapping and kidnapping me."

Shi Wang rolled his eyes at him, "Come on, you have no morals at all, even the Virgin Mary can't kidnap you."

Yan Ting spread his hands, "No one knows me better than you."

Soon, everyone entered the game in a wonderful way, no, it should be said that they entered the movie called "Police and Thieves".

The thief and the police were automatically separated. When Wang opened his eyes again, it was already late. He, Yan Ting, and Wang Peng were standing on the grass by the cliff. The cold wind blew over the rocks and bushes beside them, whistlingsound.Ten meters away in front of him was a gorgeous medieval European castle, but Qi Zhe and the others had disappeared.

Shi Wang looked at Yan Ting vigilantly, and silently moved a few steps away from him, putting his hands on his waist.

There was a pistol hidden under his loose sweater, which Qi Zhe secretly stuffed to him before the game started, and told him to protect himself.There are five bullets in the gun, Shi Wang thinks it is enough to protect himself, but if...

Shi Wang took a sneak peek at Yan Ting, if he could find an opportunity to deal with this man, it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Yan Ting didn't seem to notice his killing intent at all, turned around and waved to him, "What are you doing so far away from me, let's go, go over there and have a look."

The three of them came to the gate of the ancient castle. As soon as they walked up the steps, the ancient and heavy carved door was slowly pushed open, and a silver-haired butler who was over half a century old came out from inside. He was wearing a black and white tuxedo,There are faint fine lines at the corners of the eyes, and the nasolabial folds at the corners of the mouth make him look very serious, like a rigid old man.

But his movements are very neat, his eyes are sharp, without the dullness of old people.

The butler bowed to them, and said indifferently: "Gui'an, guests who have come from afar, please follow me. Your Excellency the Duke has been waiting for a long time."

Yan Ting complained to Shi Wang in a low voice: "There are NPCs in this game."

Shi Wang said blankly, "Don't talk to me."

He followed the butler to the threshold and came to the hall of the castle.

The crystal chandelier above casts warm yellow light. The living room is very large. There are wall lamps inlaid on the wall printed with dark rose patterns. Shi Wang looked around and saw many oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor not far away, many of themA display stand against the wall holds delicate and beautiful oriental porcelain vases.

The butler led them up the marble stairs to the second floor, when Shi Wang immediately heard the lingering and ethereal sound of the piano.

The housekeeper pushed open the door of a certain room, and Shi Wang saw a man in a plain white western-style dress sitting in front of the piano with his back facing them, his bony fingers gracefully pressing the black and white keys.

With light golden hair, a tall and slender figure, the collar of the clothes is embroidered with low-key and luxurious gold thread as embellishment, and the silver cuff buttons are just right on the cuffs. He has the appearance of an unattainable aristocrat.

But Shi Wang felt a little sick to his stomach, just looking at this back, he had vaguely guessed who this so-called duke was.

Sure enough, when the piano sound stopped and His Excellency stood up and turned around, Shi Wang saw a beautiful and familiar face.

Rong Yu tidied up the neckline slowly, and with just one look, the housekeeper stepped forward knowingly and presented a pair of white banquet gloves on a velvet tray.

Rong Yu put on the gloves unhurriedly, picked up the black diamond cane that represented his identity, then turned his head to look at Shi Wang, and said with a smile: "Thank you all the police officers for coming here without delay.collection."

The housekeeper brought an oil painting covered with a red cloth, and Wang Peng said cautiously: "With all due respect, why don't you just take out such an important thing? It might be stolen by thieves."

"There is no need to worry about this. The real product is placed in the vault. This is just a counterfeit product. Let you familiarize yourself with it."

Rong Yu signaled the housekeeper to open the painting, and the housekeeper bowed his head to accept the order, holding the heavy picture frame with one hand, and lifted the red silk cloth with his spare hand, revealing the true face of this priceless oil painting.

Shi Wang looked at the painting and was stunned.

101 The Muse of the Flower Field

According to the housekeeper, this painting is called "The Muse of the Flower Field", and it is an orphan left by a very famous painter who has passed away.

Muse, in mythology, is the goddess in charge of beauty and art. Later, it was extended as a person or object that can inspire artists. Even in the end, it evolved into the symbolic meaning of the only and beloved person in this life.

But the main character in this oil painting is a very young boy, dressed in light and wide
