Chapter 78 Part 1: Wax Museum (1)

[dungeon: Wax Museum]

[Level: 3rd tier]

[Number of challengers: 20 people]

[This is the best Wax Museum in the city, where famous people’s wax figures are displayed for visitors to see and take photos with.]

[One day, a strange guest appeared at the museum. Instead of taking photos with the wax figures like others, she stared at each wax figure for five minutes after entering. Even when the museum staff offered to take a photo with her, she just continued gazing at the figures.]

[From that day on, every day from midnight to 2 a.m., cries could be heard coming from the Wax Museum. Anyone staying inside during that time would mysteriously die.]

[During this time period, no one could enter from outside, and no one inside could leave.]

[A team was formed in the city to investigate the truth behind these events, but they found no answers. Luckily, one member of the team managed to survive.]

[The survivor was mentally unstable, insisting, "I want to get out, I want to get out, I don’t want to go through the ceremony."]

[Just seven days later, he turned into a wax figure.]

[After that, the Wax Museum was permanently closed down.]

[Dear children, something was wrong with this Wax Museum, investigate…!]

[Curses! Wait, something is wrong with this Wax Museum!]

[Cancel the investigation, cancel it! Find a way to survive these two hours, or find a way out!]

[Be careful of the people on the second floor, they are your enemies!]

Karoso suddenly opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by Neymar, Teresa, and seven people dressed as adventurers.

Instinctively, Neymar stood by Karoso’s side, while Teresa waved her hand gracefully, manipulating metal elements effortlessly, forming a large dwarf figure behind her.

He swung the hammer with all his might, causing the metal elements to echo endless cries, as if each element contained the sealed soul of a different evil entity.

Bang, bang, bang…

With each strike, the sword would grow longer, guided by the guildmaster, until it reached the height of a person.

"A legendary weapon…" The leading adventurer’s eyes widened in amazement.

"Are you seven together?" Teresa gazed at the leading adventurer.

"No, I don’t know them," the leading adventurer shook his head.

"When they first woke up, they instinctively moved closer to you, each person’s gaze lingering on you for at least two seconds, they just glanced at each other and that was it," Teresa gazed at the adventurer, "They instinctively rely on you, waiting for your ideas."

"This dungeon is clearly a confrontational one, there are a total of twenty people, we have ten, if we don’t cooperate, we might be defeated one by one!"

"If you want to stay alive, it’s best for everyone to stick together."

The leading adventurer paused, "Well, we are an adventurer team."

He turned his head, frowned, "Something isn’t right, we are a team of ten people, why are there only seven of us in here?"

"We came in from a tavern," Teresa spoke, "It was a very chaotic tavern."

"We also came in from there," the leading adventurer suddenly realized, "So, the entrance of this dungeon restricts ten people? The one who hired us didn’t tell us."

Karoso touched his chin and wondered, "Is Merlin the one who hired them?"

[Master Karoso! Please don’t go with these people, you are not with them!]

Karoso looked at the bullet comment in surprise.

Normally, hiring, tavern, they all come from the same place, right?

Earlier, netizens said Merlin hired a team of adventurers to explore here.

Karoso and others were the first group to come in, so Merlin must be the second group.

It’s normal for everyone to gather together.

[That’s not what I meant.]

[Master Karoso, you are not with them, they are all monsters!]

[Yes, the monsters we first encountered in the dungeon related to the wax figure were actually our enemies in disguise.]

[No wonder the group sent by Merlin was completely wiped out.]

[Darn it, the first time I played this level I fell into a trap.]

[Yes, this dungeon is quite unique. It’s a player versus environment (PVE) dungeon where each person can only use one character. However, as we played, we failed. Towards the end, the other four players started attacking me like crazy. After we finished, we even argued with each other in a fair way.]

[The world chat channel was especially lively that day.]

[Luckily, I was playing with some friends in a group, and as we played, we realized something was wrong.]

[Sometimes, you have to think outside the box to outsmart the game developers.]

[Master Karoso, why don’t you try using the Communication Card!]

[Yes, the Communication Card never fails.]

[Never guess cards, you’ll lose nine times out of ten!]

Karoso quietly took out a Communication Card and placed it by his mouth, whispering, "Neymar?"

"Ah, it seems we are from the same place." Teresa in front of him smiled confidently, "I have plenty of experience in dungeon strategies. If we cooperate well, I promise more people will survive."

"Brother, did you call me using the Communication Card?" Neymar looked at Karoso with confusion, taking out a Communication Card at the moment.

"It’s nothing." Karoso silently clenched the Communication Card.

He saw Neymar’s Communication Card clearly, it’s not a zero-star card, it’s a one-star card!

[That’s not what I meant. Master Karoso, find a place with no one around and secretly whisper to the Communication Card, they won’t catch up.]

[It’s okay, I figured it out.]

[Huh, even this monster has a Communication Card.]

[You didn’t join that activity, right? Their Communication Card and all that are fake.]

[They only have basic copies of specialty cards, that Communication Card just looks like one, it’s a disguise.]

[Wait, if they can even duplicate the Communication Card, why is it one-star and not zero-star?]

[Um, is Master Karoso’s Zero-star Card special?]

Karoso walked away at the words, as if inspecting the room.

This is a rectangular room, filled with wax figures on both sides.

Karoso made a small movement with his hand, and the Communication Card invisibly appeared from his sleeve to his collar.

He whispered, "Teresa?"

The ‘Teresa’ behind him didn’t react at all.

……

"I promise to help more people survive," smiled Teresa as she faced nine people.

Just then, the Communication Card in Neymar’s wallet lit up.

Confused, she took out the Communication Card and glanced at Karoso in front of her.

"It’s okay, just checking," the ‘Karoso’ in front of Neymar said.

Neymar’s pupils contracted.

What’s happening? Why does my brother’s Communication Card have one star instead of zero star?

I’ve been with my brother all this way, he hasn’t even been to the bathroom, he couldn’t have adjusted the deck.

If he had adjusted the deck, he would have told me.

Does this mean that these people in front of me are not my brothers, but monsters pretending to be them?

What should I do?

Stay calm, stay calm!

I already know their true situation, let’s see what they want to do first.

It’s crucial not to panic at this moment, or else it will be all over!

……

"I promise to let more people survive," Teresa said, then the Communication Card suddenly lit up.

She hesitantly took out the Communication Card and glanced at Karoso.

Karoso saw Teresa looking at him, and couldn’t help but nod at Teresa, "I want to confirm something."

"Like this?" Teresa tilted her head.

"Teresa, put the Communication Card next to your ear."

Teresa did as she was told.

"The creatures in front of you are all monsters, be careful…"

Teresa looked around in confusion at the creatures in front of her.

Karoso’s mouth was moving, his voice was quiet, and she couldn’t hear what he was saying.

Furthermore, he covered his mouth with a card, pretending to be saying something.

Zoom!

Teresa put away the Communication Card, accidentally throwing one card away.

Blade Storm!
