Master Swindler

Chapter 73

The staff saw that Lu Qingjia insisted on attending the interview in embarrassment, his face changed, and he wanted to persuade him more, but the other party had already opened the door of the interview office.

The next memory of Lu Qingjia is also a bit vague, only that there seems to be more than one person in the interview room, but the specific memories are uncertain.

The other person's appearance was dazzling and unclear in the backlight of the huge French windows in the office. He could only recall that the other person was quite unhappy after seeing him muddy, but he still gave him a'job opportunity'.

He also hinted that this was the workload of a team, which was also the reason why Lu Qingjia left a clue to himself the first day, urging him to return to the city where the train started.

As for the identity of the mysterious interviewer, Lu Qingjia was naturally curious. At that time, he left something around him in a very secret manner.

But when I wanted to feel it, there was no movement, presumably the interviewer was not an ordinary NPC.

At least for the player's skills and skills, he has a calm way to deal with it.

These are not important for the time being, this copy is too restrictive, and it is not easy to confirm too much with this clue.

However, Lu Qingjia at least determined the timing and location of the first and second refresh points.

The first refresh point is undoubtedly the moment when the player has just entered the game. At that time, there is no trace of activity in the dungeon world on the player. As long as the mission of the first level is not completed, collectively return to the refresh point. Normal players will not If you find anything wrong, you think you have just entered the game.

What’s more poisonous is that this copy shields the player’s induction, and even has mental inducements that deliberately ignore the peculiarities of the surrounding players. If no player behaves particularly strangely or possesses strong mental skills and finds something wrong, it’s difficult to follow a step-by-step fast pace During the mission, it turned out that there were so many players around.

What's more, at the beginning it also implies that players are opposed, so whether it is a gold player or an ordinary player, it is naturally impossible to actively expose oneself before the enemy is revealed, and strive to be low-key and ordinary.

With triple protection, the first step alone is full of traps. No wonder so many hundreds of people can't even get out of the first station.

The refresh point for the second session was in the interview office.

If Lu Qingjia listened to the staff's suggestions, sorted out his own state, and erased the traces of his first pass, it would be impossible for Lu Qingjia to discover the truth so efficiently the next day and return here.

It is even more likely that after the confirmation of the status quo, the time for the internship report has passed, and the factory does not accept people, then the day will be wasted.

This wasted a day, and Lu Qingjia, a player who passed the first level and stayed in the first level, will inevitably waste another opportunity to buy a ticket tomorrow.

Then the closer to the number of times the ticket is cleared, if you drag it back and forth twice, the player forgets his identity and becomes the NPC here forever trapped in the game, and their team is almost over.

However, for an intermediate copy, such strict and trapped rules, it is impossible not to leave room for players.

Therefore, Lu Qingjia concluded that there must be a clear reminder of the refresh point and time, when he heard the reminder from the staff and the similar broadcast synchronized by the train over there.

At that time, Lu Qingjia was almost 80% sure that the interview office was the second refreshing point.

So he maintained as much of his game traces as possible.

Now because the logic has been clarified, the shielding state of amnesia has lost its meaning, so the memory can be retrieved directly.,

According to Lu Qingjia’s guess, once unlocked, the memory should not be blocked again, otherwise the rules would be unfair.

But just in case, you have to make some preparations.

Several people finished their breakfast and came to work while sorting out the status quo.

The place of work is a wax figure making workshop. A few people arrived ten minutes in advance, and then discovered that it was a factory, but it was actually more like a family workshop.

The wax museum is located in the outskirts of the city, surrounded by weeds, thorns, and lack of care.

The castle has the charm of the European Middle Ages, and in conjunction with the sudden overcast weather at this time, it gives the player a sense of familiarity with the usual horror copy.

Before knocking on the door, I heard fierce quarrels, roars of men, screams of women, and voices that young people couldn't bear.

But before he heard the content, the door was suddenly opened.

The one who opened the door was a slender old woman with a bit mean face, her eyes shrewd enough to reveal a weirdness, her eyes fell on a few players.

Rao, everyone here can stab an ordinary old woman to death with one finger, but the other person's sight still makes everyone feel like a worm crawling over them.

But Lu Qingjia looked comfortable and smiled and said, "Is this the Jinjia Wax Figure Factory? We are the employees who joined today. I think you have already received the employment notice."

The old woman didn't talk to each other, instead she gave a weird smile, and said to the people behind her: "Okay, stop arguing, the workers came and started to work."

There were four people in the hall behind her, a bald middle-aged man, a slender but haggard-looking, neurotic woman, and two teenage children.

A man and a woman. The older woman is a little bit older. When he saw Lu Qingjia, he glared at him. Boys are irrelevant. They have to get their heads into the mobile phone, which is not very popular nowadays. Mobile phone games.

The man greeted several players in, looked at everyone with a critical attitude, and then sighed: "Can't the company introduce some useful people?"

As he said, he squeezed Lu Qingjia's arm again, and looked at his face: "You seem to be useful, but others just—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the new employee looking at him with a smile on his face: "Yes, the boss is not very useful."

The look in his eyes was like weighing pork, the wax museum owner trembled inexplicably, but he felt that he was thinking too much.

After all, here--

The boss made a haha ​​and said with a smile: "Introduction, this wax figure factory is my family's ancestral industry, and it is now family-owned."

"But now there are fewer young people who can calm down and refine their craftsmanship. Generally, employees will leave after a short period of time. They are either lacking in ability or not very savvy, so they have long been recruiting new recruits in commissioned intermediary companies."

"I hope you can persist in completing the task."

"Then what is our task today?" Lu Qingjia asked.

"Oh, that's it." The boss led everyone into the workshop: "The first richest person in the city has a banquet tonight. Six human wax figures are needed for decoration. The delivery time is four o'clock in the afternoon."

"If you complete the task during this period, you will have completed the internship task."

Lu Qingjia raised her eyebrows and asked: "I'll be honest, if the human body wax figure is to be made well and takes a long time, it will be delivered in five and a half hours. What is your current progress?"

"Only confirmed the model." The boss said without embarrassment, as if he didn't realize that the task was making things difficult for people.

The other party even went on to say: "This is the main customer. The wax figure must be lifelike, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, otherwise it will smash our sign."

After speaking, he gave the data and drawings of the model to Lu Qingjia and the others: "Work hard."

After speaking, he was about to leave the workshop, but before he stepped out, he heard a loud noise coming from behind.

The boss's complexion changed, and he turned around quickly, and found that a wax figure had fallen down and fell to pieces, leaving half of his head.

After spinning on the ground for a few weeks, it fell to Lu Qingjia's feet, his eyes turned towards him, which was quite permeating.

The boss was furious: "Who broke it?"

Lu Qingjia stepped on the half of the wax figure head beside his feet, raised his hand, and said embarrassed: "It's me!"

Although the tone of his mouth was humble and apologetic, his actions did not seem to be reflective, it seemed that he had deliberately broken it before.

Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "I think its posture is a little strange. When I turn around, it seems to be about to pinch my neck. I am more sensitive and in instinctive self-defense, so I waved it down."

"But it should be okay? After all, it's just a failed product that can't even be produced in the workshop."

When this was said, the temperature in the workshop seemed to drop a few degrees.

The boss looked ugly and said: "No, every work is my painstaking effort. Although some of the works presented are not satisfactory due to qualifications, I cherish them equally."

Lu Qingjia laughed: "That's really embarrassing, but what should I do now?"

"The thing is broken, do you want to fire me?"

The boss didn't even have time to get angry, so he was blocked by Lu Qingjia. He looked at the other person bitterly for a long time before saying: "Forget it, you are lucky, it happened to be sent today."

"As long as you complete the task within the specified time, I won't hold you accountable."

When he said that, Lu Qingjia became more hypocritical, and said ashamed: "But I was clumsy when I came here, isn't it suitable for this job?"

"If you stay, I am afraid that not only will it affect your delivery schedule, but will cause more trouble, I'll go."

"No!" The boss hurriedly shouted, and then realized that his attitude shouldn't be so urgent, he said with a straight face: "You have to think clearly, the job is hard to come by."

"If you leave here, if you want to find a new job, you have to go back to the agency again. It will be impossible for a few other people to complete the task once you leave. Think about it if you want to drag everyone down?"

The other five players were a little anxious, even if someone knew that Lu Qingjia was mostly doing a show at the moment, they were afraid that he would really play off.

After all, Lu Qingjia is now in the second stage, and the advantage is obvious. They are only the first stage. If the task is not completed, it is estimated that tomorrow will wake up at the station.

If Lu Qingjia’s heart is darker and only use them to get the task of the next round today, and don’t want to share the results with everyone, then now that the task has been obtained, he can completely destroy the task progress, and come here by himself tomorrow and completely take them all Left behind.

If the following tasks can be done in the same way, I am afraid that the other party has completed the task, and they still think they have just entered the game and go to ride the train that is impossible to reach every day.

However, Lu Qingjia said next: "Really? So you can get the job again as long as you go back to the agency? And this time the job must be done by six people?"

He said that he smiled at the horrified and ugly boss: "Thank you for your notice."

After that, I didn’t mention any resignation. Instead, he drove the boss outside: "Well, there is not much time left. We are going to work. The workshop space is limited. Will the boss stay and help? If not, Can I invite you out temporarily?"

He had finished speaking, and the boss's complexion turned purple for a while, but he was helpless.

In the end, he left the workshop with a cold snort and closed the door.

The other five players, look at me and I will look at you, with some contempt for my own villainy heart.

Then he asked to divert his attention: "Brother Lu, what did you mean by that?"

Lu Qingjia took the model data given by the boss: "No, it's just a set of some information, but it is still impossible to confirm."

"But what is certain is that the other party's first task is to ensure that all of us stay here. If we have to emphasize the number of people, then the richest man's dinner tonight is likely to be related to our task."

"But anyway, make the wax figure first."

One player asked, "Brother Lu, have you played this?"

Lu Qingjia shook his head: "No, but logically speaking, with our ability, it should be easy to make a wax figure."

According to the experience of the train, if it is so easy, I am sorry that the rules everywhere want to hinder the player's progress to the next level, so that everyone can be as deep as possible in the logic of exhausting the number of times in the cycle of lack of clues.

"Of course it's possible that the main course will be at the banquet, but I don't believe there is no interlude here. With—"

Lu Qingjia pointed to the data on the drawing, and everyone gathered around, not seeing anything special.

Although the drawings are detailed, they do not have an image-based modeling, but each part of the body has accurate data representation.

Each wax figure has at least two hundred size data, of which the head data is the most detailed.

There are also the materials all over the body, and the white space in the hair, all proportions are clear.

It's as detailed as a one-to-one simulation wax figure made for stars and celebrities in reality.

A female player asked, "Brother Lu, is there anything wrong with this?"

Lu Qingjia smiled and pulled out one of the materials: "Do you think it is familiar?"

The female player watched for a while, but found nothing: "Where-there?"

"Height measurements are about the same as me?"

"No more!" Lu Qingjia took a measuring tape from the table and threw it to her, saying: "If you measure the data above, you will find that every inch of your body information, even the distance between the five sense organs, and the curvature of the facial contour are exactly the same as above. "

The female player is slim and looks good-to be honest, a female player who has reached a certain level, if she does not deliberately pretend or cares about her appearance, she will not look too bad.

After all, there are many items and foods that can make people beautiful. Even as the spiritual power becomes stronger, the body's metabolism, sewage and repair capabilities are not comparable to ordinary people. As long as the innate conditions are not too bad, the stronger the ability, The face will only get better.

The female player took the measuring tape and quickly measured the various data of the body first, and found that no matter where it was, it was exactly the same as the information on the data.

Others quickly took the measuring tape, measured some basic data, and then found the comparison data.

Then everyone is not calm: "Fuck, is this let us be ourselves?"

"When we finished the wax figure with a hum, we found out that it was our own face, and it seemed oozing when I thought about it."

Lu Qingjia smiled: "What's infiltrating people just like that?"

Everyone shook their hearts: "What do you mean?"

Lu Qingjia pointed to a big pot in the workshop, which was boiling wax oil. The wax oil looked transparent, but it was slightly yellow.

Lu Qingjia said: "When we first entered the house, the wax oil inside hadn't completely melted away, and there was still solidification on the surface, but now it is like this."

"That said, I also think the room is a bit hot." Someone said.

It’s just that players are much more resistant to cold and high temperatures than ordinary people. The elevated temperature in the room is not uncomfortable. The difference is only a few degrees at most. The door can be closed, the air is not circulating, or you can see It can be explained by the surge of energy and blood in the model data.

"This temperature shouldn't let the wax melt away, right?"

"But the wax figure in the room has already reacted." The female player pointed to the wax figure next to her.

I saw the lifelike wax figure, and the exposed skin on the face and hands showed liquid similar to sweat.

A player dipped his finger and said, "It's wax oil melting. But its facial features are not blurred, and its outline is not deformed. How could this be?"

It seems that these wax people are really only sweating.

These wax men are just like real people. After the players come in, they feel that they are being watched from time to time.

At this moment, wax sweat appeared on their bodies, not only did not make their sense of existence become distorted, but more like real people.

If it hadn't been for Lu Qingjia to smash one before and let people see the structure inside, they would all wonder if there was a real person in these wax figures.

For a time, this claustrophobic workshop revealed a horrible atmosphere.

"Open the door first." The players were unambiguous, and kicked the door of the workshop with their feet.

It kicked off easily, and a few people came out of it temporarily, and the uncomfortable aura that followed him was not delayed.

Instead, he ran into the lady boss who had finished cleaning upstairs.

The other party was holding a vacuum cleaner in his hand, and seeing several people pouring out of the door at the same time, his face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Then sternly said: "How long has it been to work? I started to rest."

Others were too lazy to care about her, Lu Qingjia said, "Did you just do the cleaning?"

Perhaps it was the preferential treatment brought by the good appearance, the boss's face was slightly slow: "Yes, one big family is not a lot of housework any day? It is my life, one person serves four, and no one can help."

Lu Qingjia smiled: "In such a big house, there are indeed a lot of housework every day. Is this just finished cleaning?"

The proprietress followed: "Yes, the upstairs is full of carpets, and the whole family always forgets to take off their shoes. It doesn't matter how hard you clean up."

Lu Qingjia said: "It's not easy to hear, especially for someone like you who has just finished sucking the floor and the brush head is still so clean."

The lady boss stiffened and smiled unnaturally: "Yes, I'm used to cleaning it up before putting it back."

He changed the subject again and said: "If you are finished, go back to work. If you miss the afternoon delivery, the consequences will be very serious."

"Okay, no problem, would you like me to help you get the vacuum cleaner? It looks heavy."

"No need," the lady boss said, and then suddenly there was a painful cry of "hiss——"

Lu Qingjia was so busy: "What's wrong?"

The lady boss stretched out her hand, and did not know when a drop of hot wax appeared on her arm.

But the wax oil did not solidify on it, instead it looked like sparks falling on the candle, causing a melting reaction around the skin of the proprietress.

The boss's face changed, she pulled off her sleeves to cover the skin, and said hurriedly, "I'll go back to the room and deal with it."

Lu Qingjia looked at the background where the other party had left, and smiled secretly.

Although several players are two or three meters away from them, their eyesight is not bad, and they immediately understand what is going on——

"Is that wax oil in the pot?"

Lu Qingjia nodded: "I didn't expect this effect to be there."

"It's so sinister." Several players said.

"It's so perfect." Lu Qingjia said.

Everyone did not understand what he meant.

"Actually, it is not too difficult to complete the task." A player said, "I have the ability to shape, as long as the things I touch, within a small volume, they can be restored with mud."

"If the model data is all from us, then make a mold with clay, pour wax oil into it, and air-dry it to be the finished product. At most, you need to paint and repair the appearance."

"But that wax oil is so overbearing, if you operate it without knowing it, you might be abolished."

Lu Qingjia held the opposite view: "But I think the plasticity of this wax oil is really good."

"And I have to correct a clue."

"what?"

"It's this wax man in the house," Lu Qingjia said: "I thought these wax men were not real people, at most they were manipulated props or possessed by evil spirits, but now it seems that it is not necessarily anymore."

As soon as the voice fell, it seemed that the atmosphere in the workshop was stagnant.

One of the wax figures' eyes seemed to flash.

The female player closest to it immediately reminded: "Did its eyes move just now?"

Several people looked at the past vigilantly, but found no abnormalities.

Just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Lu Qingjia sneered: "More than his eyes moved?"

"Have you not noticed that all the wax man positions and even postures have changed from the beginning?"

Said Lu Qingjia waved his hand, and several small ice sculpture models appeared on the table, which seemed to correspond to the wax figures in the workshop.

Lu Qingjia said: "This is the position and posture of the people when we first came in. Let's look at the difference from now."

With the comparison of the reference objects, everyone immediately discovered that although the change was not obvious, it was true that every wax man had changed more or less.

"It's just that the speed of change is too slow, only a few millimeters per minute on average, plus their inorganic nature, which is invisible to the naked eye."

"But they are really moving around a certain purpose."

So it is enough to prove that these wax people are alive in a sense.

A fire-controlling player suddenly appeared in his hand with a cluster of flames, grinning and said: "If you burn them, won't they be destroyed?"

Said that the fire was approaching the nearest wax man, but when the flame was about to lick the opponent, there was a scream from upstairs.
