Chapter 88 Catching the doll

Doudou Playhouse is easy to find.

It was on the fourth floor, with lights on in front and a banner hanging in front of the door.

In trial operation!

It is very big inside and divided into different areas. There is an area on the right side of the entrance that is full of claw machines and has lights on. Because the ceiling, walls and floors are all made of glass, it looks very bright, like a dream castle.

There is a counter on the left side of the door. Inside, a young girl in black business suit and a large puppet more than one meter tall are standing neatly.
The puppet was actually a person in disguise, wearing a large puppet costume and looking like a very cute big bear.

"Welcome to Doudou's Playhouse."

said the young girl at the counter.

Luo Xi and a few others walked over.

"What do you want to play? Here we recommend the All-You-Can-Play Pass. You only need three [Memory] cards to buy it. It is currently 50% off. Normally, you need six [Memory] cards to buy it. The All-You-Can-Play Pass allows you to play more than a dozen games in the game room. It is very cost-effective."

"What if you play a certain project alone?" Luo Xi asked.

"That depends on what you're playing. Generally speaking, one or two [Memory] cards are worth it. In fact, it's not cost-effective to play this way," explained the girl at the counter.

"Let's play claw machine first." Luo Xi's purpose was clear.

“How many people are playing?”

"Four!"

"Please hand over four [Memory] cards."

The young girl finished speaking. Wu Rui was fine over there. Luo Xi once gave her a [Memory]. At the same time, after clearing the Sega Apartment scene, she was rewarded with a [Memory] card. She still had a lot of money in her hands, but Brother Mao and Guo Zening both looked at Luo Xi at this moment.

The reason is simple, they don't have any extra cards.

Luo Xi showed no hesitation or pain, and directly took out three [Memories], while Wu Rui paid with one of her own.

"Okay, you can go play. Oh, and just a reminder, you can play a Memory card for five minutes, no limit on the number of times you can play. Have fun."

The young girl gave a professional smile.

Four people walked into the claw machine area.

Of course, there are normal claw machines here, and in the glass cabinets are extremely cute little dolls, but it is obvious that Shiyi people don’t want to play this kind of game.

At this time, shouting was heard from the inside.

"Left, a little to the left, damn, it's too far, come back a little, right, right. This is the position, grab it, grab it quickly."

The voice was very loud.

Obviously in a state of excitement.

"Okay, hold on, hold on tight, don't let go, what are you doing, hold on tight, why did you let go, damn it, didn't we just agree that you have to overcome it even if you see something scary!"

Soon, the excitement turned into furious cursing.

At this time, Luo Xi and a few others also walked over and saw a very special claw machine over there. There were two people operating it at the moment, one was operating it intently, and the other was yelling and cursing at a huge glass window next to it.

He was spewing all kinds of dirty words.

Looking closely, there is a huge room inside the window-like glass. At this moment, a person's feet are tied to a rope and he is being transported back to the starting point. You can see that he has a frustrated look on his face, and there is a sense of fear from the terror he has just experienced.

Soon, the other party pushed open a door next to him.

"You kid, why did you let go at the last moment?" The man who was yelling rushed over and slapped him.

The person who was beaten covered his cheek with his hands, looking aggrieved.

"Brother Rong, this... this is not my fault. You don't know how scary what I saw and felt just now was. If I don't let go, I might die. And I can't overcome that kind of fear at all. It's strange."

"Your mother is weird, you are such a useless thing, and you are still afraid. You son of a bitch, your courage is as small as the thing in your crotch. After five minutes of fucking, you only caught a doll. A [Memory] is wasted like this. Damn you, go to hell. Get out of my way quickly, I will show you what it means to catch a doll."

The man called Brother Rong cursed and pushed the other person aside, then he walked straight into the room.

Soon, through the glass window, one could see Brother Rong standing on a platform. He was wearing a safety suit and his feet were locked with safety ropes. The next moment, he was hung up, and someone outside was operating the joystick to control the direction, while Brother Rong, who was hanging on the rope, was swinging back and forth.

It was clear that the other person inside was also cursing, but the room was well soundproofed and I couldn't hear what he was cursing at all.

As for what he caught.

The lower part of this huge room was filled with stuffed toys, hundreds of them.

They are all cute.

Wu Rui and the others all had strange expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they were all thinking, is this difficult to catch?

But it is obvious that things are definitely not as simple as they seem.

Guo Zening then leaned over and said to the man who was being scolded by Brother Rong, "Brother, we just got here too. Logically, this puppet should be easy to catch. It took you so long to catch one. No wonder your boss scolded you."

The other party glared at him and cursed, "What the hell do you know? What you see outside is totally different from what's inside. Damn, who are you? Why should I talk to you? Get out of here."

Guessing that the other party also realized that Guo Zening was going to get information, he quickly cursed him.

But the other party has actually said it just now.

What you see and what you actually want to catch are not the same thing.

"So, what exactly did he see?" Guo Zening was curious: "Luo Xi said it was fear, so that should be what he was afraid of, but if you are mentally prepared, no matter what you see, can't you just grit your teeth and endure it?" At this time, Brother Rong inside had obviously fallen down and could grab the large toy below with a stretch of his hand, but the other party actually waved his hands with a look of fear, as if he was trying hard to avoid the puppet below.

It can be seen that Brother Rong is shouting, or rather, screaming.

His face changed color.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Rong's two companions outside were also shouting, asking Rong to quickly grab one and not let go.

The latter also tried to grab a rag doll, but it let go just after it rose one or two meters, as if he was wearing a mask of pain, and cold sweat broke out.

"You're still talking about me? Damn, aren't you a loser too?" The guy who was scolded just now immediately sprayed back.

It’s so enjoyable!
At this time, what people saw outside was the tough-looking Rong, struggling with a pile of stuffed toys below. He looked like a fat fish hung on a hook. A few minutes passed, his face flushed red, his voice seemed to be hoarse from shouting, and he danced with his hands and feet, but he didn't catch any.

This made Wu Rui and the others' curiosity reach its peak.

Luo Xi didn't pay much attention to these people. He walked to the corner and said to a person who was also wearing a doll costume, "Are there any other venues?"

"Do you want to play?" The doll spoke. Just now he was standing against the wall without saying a word, and I really thought he was a doll.

"Correct."

"Yes, please come this way." The doll looks like a big fox, with a big head and a big tail.

He called Luo Xi and the others and walked to another location, where there was also a claw machine of that kind.

Received the bill.

The big fox said, "It takes two people to catch the doll. Of course, the person who is actually operating outside is not counted as the user. In other words, the person who is actually playing is the one catching the doll inside. It takes five minutes. Who will go first?"

"Excuse me, what are the rules for this scene?"

"Oh, the rules are written on the wall. They are very simple. Each person has five minutes. If you can grab five dolls within the specified time, you will pass the level. Of course, you can grab more and get extra rewards. If you pass the level, you will be rewarded with two [Memory] cards. If you grab more than five dolls, you can get an extra [Memory] for each extra doll. How much you earn depends entirely on your ability."

Indeed, the rules are very simple.

Luo Xi wanted to be the first to try it, but at this time Guo Zening stepped forward and said, "Why don't you let me go first and you control the joystick."

After saying that, he looked around and found a doll hairpin hanging on the wall.

He took one.

Obviously he intended to use this thing to plug his eyes.

Luo Xi shook his head: "Your goal is to clear the level, and you only have five minutes. I will go to investigate the situation first. It doesn't matter if I don't clear the level. At least I can provide you with some on-site experience."

When Guo Zening heard it, he also thought it made sense.

"Then I'll control the joystick!"

"it is good!"

Luo Xi walked to the door over there.

"After you put on your safety suit, a timer will appear, and you will be automatically sent out when the time is up. So, I wish you a happy game."

The big fox said and opened the door.

Luo Xi walked in, and Wu Rui and Liu Mao also leaned over the window and looked over with nervous expressions.

The inside looked the same as the one the other three guys were playing, no difference.

Soon, Luo Xi appeared on the platform. He was also wearing a safety suit and had a safety belt on his feet.

"Why didn't he cover his eyes?" Brother Mao said at this time.

Luo Xi inside was indeed not blindfolded. Not only that, he was also looking down with a strange smile on his face.

"Timing begins!"

The five-minute countdown begins.

At this time Luo Xi jumped down directly, and then gestured in the direction of Guo Zening's control console, meaning to let him go.

Guo Zening did as he was told.

The joystick is easy to use, just like any other normal claw machine controls, but with an additional 'down' and 'up' buttons.

It is also easy to understand and anyone can master it quickly.

"Luo Xi said that to catch dolls, one needs to overcome fear, and the source of fear for each person is actually different. I suspect that it must have a special effect on people who have regained their memories, causing hallucinations and possibly touch. What the people inside see must be something very scary, so Luo Xi said before that one should blindfold themselves. To some extent, blindfolding can indeed overcome some fear." Wu Rui said at this time.

She came up with this idea after careful consideration.

"In other words, it looks like a cute toy from the outside, but what you see inside might be a scary ghost, or a giant furry bug with many legs or something like that." Guo Zening's face turned pale at this time. To him, no matter it was a ghost or a bug, they were all things that could not be touched.

"I don't think it's that simple." Liu Mao also expressed his opinion at this time: "You should know that this is not just entertainment, not playing games, but a matter of life and death. You all know how important the [Memory] card is. Even a scary ghost is not so scary compared to the loss of memory without [Memory]. As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over the wall. No, it's a desperate gamble. If they are really desperate, they will definitely catch those who should be caught and kill those who should be killed first. If it is just an illusion, it means that it is only scary in the senses and there is no real danger. Logically speaking, most people should be able to overcome this psychological barrier."

"But the strange thing is that they didn't overcome it." Wu Rui said, looking back, with a strange and serious expression.

On the other side, Brother Rong’s face was pale and he walked out of the room almost trembling.
