Chapter 26: Watching Movies, Betting, and Notice

Recently, Zhang Tieshu, a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, got a ticket to watch a movie at a horror theater.

Occasionally, props or something will be distributed to members through special channels. This is also one of the benefits of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Zhang Tieshu originally had no habit of watching movies and had basically never been to a horror theater.

However, since the tickets are free this time, it would be a shame not to go.

In that case, why not go and experience it for yourself, just think of it as a short vacation.

Zhang Tieshu: "Black Town, this is a difficult dungeon, and I'm sure many players will die."

As a beta tester, he had also completed this dungeon and received pretty good reviews.

The Countermeasures Bureau does not accept just any player, and Zhang Tieshu is considered one of the better players in the same batch of beta testers.

After entering the horror theater, he began to listen to the other players' conversations.

“Want to place a bet this time?”

"According to big data statistics, usually one to five people can survive this dungeon."

"Is there any big brother who can teach me which movie I should bet on for the highest chance of winning?"

"Let me teach you. You should bet on everyone's survival from the beginning. Go all in. The odds are a hundred times. If you win, you will fly."

"You want me to bet on everyone's survival in a difficult dungeon? If you want me to die, just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Bet a hammer, listen to my advice, nine times out of ten you will lose, not betting is the winner!"

"It's so funny. If I don't bet to earn points, why am I here to watch a movie?"

……

Zhang Tieshu heard that almost all the conversations revolved around betting.

He had no interest in betting, and if he bet less, it would be of no use even if he won.

If you bet too much, the risk is too great, and if you lose, you can't bear it.

Moreover, the Countermeasures Bureau has clearly warned its members that it is best not to participate in the betting activities of the horror cinema.

There are too many tragic precedents, and there have been many cases of people losing a lot of points and then dying in horror games.

It is more reassuring that you have to earn points little by little by yourself, and don't always think of taking shortcuts.

Zhang Tieshu has already started to organize his thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to write this movie report.

You can't watch a movie for free. You need to write a summary report afterwards and submit it to the Countermeasures Bureau.

There is no word limit for the report. The purpose is to be as useful as possible so that the Countermeasures Bureau can obtain useful information from it.

The content can be about movies, other moviegoers, or your own thoughts.

The movie starts.

The audience saw that among the players of this game, there was actually an internal test player!
They all felt it was quite rare: "There's a beta test player sneaking in!"

"For beta testers, it shouldn't be a big problem to clear this dungeon."

"Apart from him, it looks like the public beta players are all newcomers who have played two or three games."

"It looks like this game will depend on this guy called 'Invincible Fei Ge' to carry the whole game."

"I also want to have this opportunity to be the leader among the newbies!"

"I seem to have some impression of this Invincible Fei Ge. To be honest, he's pretty bad at it..."

"I have some impression of this as well. He participated in the same dungeon with me a long time ago. I remember that he was not very smart."

"To be able to live this long, he must have some ability, right? Judging from his speech, it seems to be true."

……

Zhang Tieshu rubbed his temple.

He also had some impression of this beta test player named Invincible Fei Ge.

I have the impression that he applied to join the Countermeasures Bureau, but failed the interview and was rejected.

The reason is, on the one hand, my ability is not good enough, and on the other hand, my luck is a bit bad.

At that time, a big internal tester of the Countermeasures Bureau even said that recruiting this guy would ruin the feng shui of the Countermeasures Bureau.

"So, it seems that this group of newcomers is going to be unlucky."

"They haven't realized how unreliable this person is yet, and they're still trying to curry favor with him."

"I hope they can figure it out as soon as possible and not be led into a ditch." Zhang Tieshu suddenly had an inspiration, and his film report had an interesting angle to approach it.

Beta test players are not necessarily reliable, so newcomers should beware of traps set by beta test players!
The businessman who saw this horror game turned out to be the Joker's queen.

Zhang Tieshu couldn't help but complain: "This is really a double whammy."

“The beta test players I matched with were unreliable, and the merchants at the beginning of the dungeon were also scammers.”

This time the new players have been strengthened.

It depends on whether there is any strong person inside who can save him.

Zhang Tieshu currently places his hopes on that "rich friend".

After all, the fact that he was able to obtain the fragments of the plot in the copy shows that his background in reality is not ordinary.

Such people usually have no shortage of points, and usually receive more professional training, and their quality is much higher than that of ordinary people.

I saw the players getting off the bus and heading to the black town with the driver.

Along the way, the original twenty players became twenty-one!
Zhang Tieshu was deeply impressed by this.

Fake players infiltrating the player group!
This is a major danger point in this copy.

If the opponent cannot be found as soon as possible, the players will be in danger.

But unfortunately, no player noticed anything unusual.

Moreover, there was a player named [Game House] who started chatting with the other party.

He didn't notice anything unusual about the fake player named [Good Guy].

After this wave of operations, the opponent actually looks more like a real player.

Soon, the first betting project appeared.

[Movie Betting (Item 1): When how many players die will the fake player's good identity be revealed? (Betting countdown: 55 seconds)]

【请选择：1、0个（赔率5倍），2、1个（赔率5倍），3、2个（赔率5倍），4、3个（赔率5倍）……】

In an instant, the cinema became lively.

"This betting project is a bit hard to guess!"

"This year's players all seem so dumb, I don't think they'll be able to find out for a while."

"Indeed, this Invincible Fei Ge is really a novice. He didn't even notice the extra player."

"It really brings shame to our beta test players."

"Normally, it is easiest to expose fake players when they first appear. As they come into contact with real players, they will have more and more information and become more like real players."

"This [Gaming Geek] was having a great time chatting with the fake player, he didn't even notice!"

"He's too nervous. In fact, the fake player's reaction just now was already quite obvious. If it were someone more sensitive, he would have noticed something was wrong."

"So, what do you bet on?"

"I didn't bet, I'm waiting for the next project."

"Try a small bet on 4 and 5."

……

A few minutes passed.

The driver and the players have arrived at the entrance of the black town.

At the entrance of the town, a skinny old man was sitting and dozing off.

After everyone approached, the old man looked up at them and said, "Strangers."

"Old man, just a reminder, there's an imposter among you."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to doze off.

Counterfeit...

After hearing this, many players didn't understand what it meant.

Brother Fei realized something, counted the number of people, and said with a heavy face: "Twenty-one players... one extra!"
