BXBX NOVEL Chapter 32: Imposters Detected
{Note: system advice host to not use weapon when other players are present, if you do... they will all take host as an imposter.}
{Note: you can only get the location of puzzle pieces after solving the problem.}
\'Do you think I am that stupid to summon my weapon in front of these fellows.\' Supreme moved his gaze around the library. \'Reveal the number of imposters.\'
Even though schoolgirl, which is her in-game name. Said everyone should work together and win the game, and all the players agreed with her, but Supreme wasn\'t easily fooled.
{Total amount of imposters found; 5.}
\'No matter what you say or do, humans\' nature will never change, so... we have five imposters in our midst.\' Supreme sat calmly on a desk and observed everyone slowly.
Schoolgirl look calm and slightly overconfident, while the blue hair man was busy looking around the place, the other players are also busy with what ever they like doing.
\'I wish you can reveal who these imposters are.\'
{Cheating System Is here to assist host, not let him win all the games easily.}
\'Oh wow, and here I am thinking you are on my side.\' Supreme thought inwardly with an eye roll.
{Of course, I am on your side, and also... not on your side.}
"...."
\'Fine, when will this goddamn game start!!\'
Click!
BANG!!!!
Instantly, all the doors and windows of the building shut tight, countless torches which hang on all four corners of the library lit up, giving the players visual on the door.
Countless highly advanced lasers moved forward, stationing themselves all over the ceiling of the building, pointing inflame lights on the twenty players below.
"What the hell?!"
"What are those things?!!"
"We are dead before the game even started!"
"Lasers guns, the job of the lasers gun is to kill any player which gave a wrong answer." Schoolgirl explained calmly.
\'How did she know that? This might not be her first escape room.\' Supreme nodded calmly.
The players\' faces changed dramatically seeing the timer, this was simply a massacre.
"What?!! Only an hour?!!!"
"What should we do?!"
"Don\'t worry, we can do this"
"Y-Yeah, you are right"
Supreme was still silent, observing the expression of the other players. \'These imposters are superb at pretending.\'
"Calm down everyone, getting anxious won\'t bring good to any of us, it will just lead to a quicker death, As for now, we need to first know the riddles and try to solve them, instead of moving around like retards." Schoolgirl said, successfully calming down the players.
"Yeah, she is right."
"What should we do then?"
"Simple"
She replied and walked towards the locked door. She placed her right palm on the door, and it made a zapping sound, then a screen appeared in front of everyone, showing them the three riddles.
\'How the hell did she knows it does that?!\' Supreme finally stood up. \'This girl is not simple.\'
Escape Room was a very dangerous game. If schoolgirl wasn\'t here, the first-time players will just stand like dummies not knowing what to do till the timer will clock zero. And... death to them all. AI didn\'t announce how or where to see the riddles, it just said they will answer three riddles without giving them the riddles. This game was nothing but a dead trap.
\'Stupid game!\' Supreme cussed.
"Ok players, these are the riddles... Which should we answer first?" Schoolgirl asked calmly, turning around to face the other players.
"Are my eyes deceiving me?!"
"How the hell are we going to answer those riddles?!"
"I haven\'t seen anything like these before, and I am considered a prodigy when I was in college, but this is in a whole new level"
"I agree"
Supreme was silent, observing the riddles with a deep frown. \'What the fuck are these?!! How can we even start answering them?\'
Even he was dumbfounded. Cheating System didn\'t give him any cheat which could answer riddles, it only increased his intelligence from 60% to 90%, and even with the boast, these riddles are freaky crazy!!
"Ahem!" Schoolgirl coughed, and said. "Ok then, as no one what to give an Answer, I say we should go with the first one. As you all know... we don\'t have time. So... What do you guys think?"
The players gulped down, and subconsciously turned to the timer, which was peacefully floating above them.
"Yes, we are with you"
"Good, Let solve the first riddle then!"
Schoolgirl gave them a bright smile and said. "Please come closer, we need to work together, because even I don\'t know if I can answer this riddles all alone."
All the players quickly rushed up to her, they all fixed their gazes on the floating screen, which display the riddles. These players have already envisioned their grim future, if they fail to answer the riddles.
Tension and anxiety fell on the players like a mountain, causing some to break out of sweat.
\'Hmm... These riddles are really troublesome, but... The main issue is, who are these five imposters.\' Supreme didn\'t join the group, instead, he walked to a certain direction and sat down. Observing the players as they crack their brains for the answer.
\'I think I already got the answer, but the problem is... is that the correct answer?\' He thought inwardly.
"Ok everyone, let me read the first riddle out loud, I know if we work together we will be able to solve this." Schoolgirl muttered, as she stared at everyone. Seeing them nod, she turned to the riddles.
"Here I go"
\'Why is she being so dramatic, just read it if you want." Supreme groaned inwardly, and look around. \'I need to find a scapegoat to use. If my answer Is wrong I won\'t have to die, but that can\'t be said to the scapegoat.\' He said with a grin.
"The First riddle is...."
