The folding actors, almost all suffering from cartilage disease and fearing solitude,
found comfort and reassurance in being stacked together. The "collective concept" had already taken root in their essence, and living alone would make them anxious.
When the audience saw the group of folding actors with sewn-up eyes and happy expressions waving at them, even before the performance had begun, fear began to grow inside them.
As the construction of the human wall was completed, the host’s loud voice echoed throughout the venue, clearly audible to the audience divided into different sections of the maze.
"Since the next show involves many rules, we’ll need to use fifteen minutes of your break ti to go over the program and its related rules.
We recomnd that you remain seated and do not move around before the show starts, and certainly don’t touch the human wall out of curiosity. These fold mbers are very hospitable and would very much like to have new mbers join them.
This performance is presented by the Circus troupe, nad ’Maze Escape.’
The specific rules are as follows:
1. "Moves" - All audience mbers will participate, and movent is required throughout. If you stay in one place for more than fifteen seconds, you will be considered to have automatically forfeited and will lose sothing more important than life itself.
If you actively participate, at least you will have a relatively good outco.
2. "The Center is the Exit" - When an individual reaches the center of the maze, which is the stage of the venue, the program is considered complete, and you will gain absolute safety and just need to wait for the program to end.
Additionally, the total duration of the program is three hours, and even if individuals do not find the exit, as long as they can endure within the maze until the end of the three hours, they will safely return to their seats.
3. "Don’t touch the wall" - As I said before, don’t touch the walls whether now or after the program starts, or you might get pulled in. Of course, if you think you are strong enough and even want to tear through the wall to speed through, you can try that;
we impose no restrictions on this aspect.
4. "Foot" - In various areas of the maze, ’severed feet’ will appear periodically, which move very quickly and will start running at high speed once soone gets close.
If an individual can turn in a severed foot they have captured after the program ends, they can receive an additional reward.
*Golden Foot, there is a special Golden Foot running at high speed between the maze areas, if it is captured and the performance completed, the highest reward from the Circus troupe will be granted,
and the individual may choose not to participate in the subsequent program viewing, get recruited directly into the Circus and receive additional training resources.
5. "Sisters" - During the escape, if you choose the wrong path three tis in a row, you will definitely encounter the ’sisters with a missing head’ at the next intersection.
She will ask passersby for help, hoping they will continue along the wrong path to the edge of the maze to find the ’lost head.’
Individuals can choose not to help and leave directly, with no repercussions afterward.
If help is provided and the head is found, one of two situations will occur:
(1) If the sister’s head is recovered, you will receive the tool "whistle". If you encounter unavoidable danger during the subsequent escape, you can blow the whistle, and the sisters will penetrate the human wall to co to your aid and resolve the crisis.
*Ineffective against the special entity ’Tie Rabbit’.
(2) If the sister’s head is recovered, you will receive the tool ’Lucky Clover,’ which increases the probability of making the correct choice at subsequent intersections.
6. "Running Rabbit" - Individuals exploring the maze may encounter special troupe mbers wearing rabbit masks, either singly or as an acrobatic grafted collective.
Once spotted, they will be locked on, and the only thing you can do is run. They often have a poor sense of direction and can be completely thrown off at the maze intersections.
*If an audience mber can kill a rabbit troupe mber and wear its head cover, no further threats will follow for the remainder of the program, and they could even beco a leading mber of Circus nural one after the program ends.
*When there are only fifteen minutes left in the program, a distinctly different ’Tie Rabbit’ will appear in the maze area. Its speed is superior to that of the ordinary rabbit troupe mbers, and it has an excellent sense of direction that makes it difficult to shake off."
When he had finished announcing,
William, located backstage, felt a surge of excitent upon hearing these rules, and he even felt a desire to participate, as dangerous as it sounded, it seed intriguing.
Unfortunately, it was his turn to perform after the Circus’s act, so he really didn’t have the ti.
However, William also noticed a concern and asked Catherine beside him.
"Tell , by designing the acrobatic performance into a maze escape, it seems only a few could successfully escape, right?
What happens to most of the audience who are caught up or absorbed by the human wall? If they are executed directly, wouldn’t the total number of spectators drastically decrease? Can the subsequent Circus performances still go on?"
"Don’t worry, the performance prohibits directly killing the audience.
The captured audience should enjoy so special treatnt not ntioned in the rules, and one would find that out soon enough! Anyway, they would surely lose a massive amount of "fear value".
If soone’s "phobia" were completely emptied, it would hardly make a difference whether they died or not. During the performance, a certain portion of the audience would inevitably be lost, leaving so spaces in the arena.
Generally, after the second major performance, the audience retention rate was between 60 and 80%. After all, most of the audience chosen for the official performance reached Open Source and showcased a fairly resilient ntal state in my nightmares.
I’m going to watch the performance now, no more chat."
"Hmm."
[Show Starts]
The audience began to move through the human maze, with different groups experiencing a clear disparity in "luck
