Chapter 170 The truth needs to be revealed
Dreary, dark, as if covered with a layer of cloth.
【You were fired, so you drank to drown your sorrows all day long】
【So she had to go out of the house and become a cashier in a grocery store】
【The only reason why she can work there and make money...】
【It’s because the store manager likes to see her wearing a long white dress】
【You haven't forgotten, right】
If you can't forget...]
【It is impossible to forget...】
“Ohhhhh—Fvvvvvk…”
At this moment!
Pew standing in front of the wash basin, as a latecomer, is listening to the truth presented in this narration.
It is also like the male head of the family, Lisa's husband, the murderer. After experiencing many unimaginable and bizarre experiences, he accepts the truth and endures the fiery spiritual trial.
Jealousy, suspicious, impulsive…
ˆThe "unemployment, depression, social injustice" and other factors mentioned on the radio have caused the male protagonist's heart to grow a demon called "self-esteem" but actually "incompetence".
It is both a visitor from **** and the incarnation of darkness.
It leads the male protagonist step by step towards the abyss of suspicion.
He suspects his wife of being unfaithful, he suspects her of being unclean.
He even doubted whose child the child in his pregnant wife's belly belonged to.
So.
In the photo, he showed his good looks at the beginning, gradually turned into a lost and depressed person, and finally revealed his sinister look.
As for Lisa in the photo, the corners of her mouth are turning downward, gradually turning into a tear-like expression.
The wife is having an affair with the manager?
Although here, Sam left a blank space and did not tell the players whether the husband's guess was true.
But pew already has the answer in his mind.
If it were true, he would not be dragged into this world-like haunted house apartment.
If true, Lisa would not wear a conservative long skirt that is almost touching the floor.
If it were true, he would not feel the same as the former murderer and accept the spiritual trial in this nightmare-like experience.
Now, the trial is over and the truth has been revealed.
Now, it’s time to find a way to escape from here.
As the end comes!
The most difficult puzzle and final test of the game is coming!
After leaving the bathroom and continuing forward, the player will leave the rampage corridor and come to the 13th floor loop.
This number, which is used to express ominousness in the West, will be like a cage, blocking the player's path forward.
Here, you need to be careful and careful in every move you make!
Because Lisa will be extremely active and extremely aggressive at this moment!
If you are not careful, if you turn your head, or turn a corner, or even just glance out the window, Lisa might jump on your face and break your neck!
Once, twice, three times.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times!
Xu Xiaolin died again and again and got up on the ground again and again.
From the beginning, he was riding on the face to kill and broke the chain, to the subsequent killing ten times and breaking five times, and then finally, his heart was still and his face was calm!
Later on, Xu Xiaolin even got used to Lisa’s sudden posts and was never kicked out of the somatosensory cabin again!
but!
In terms of game progress, there is no achievement at all!
Until this time!
Xu Xiaolin really doesn’t know how to pass the test!
The Dongjin Video Game Festival starts at 9 a.m. Neon time and 8 a.m. Central Beijing time!
In order to pass the level, get the first-hand ending, and evaluate this trial version, he played from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.!
In addition to eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom, I spent the whole time walking around in this haunted house!
In fact, there were many times during the process that Xu Xiaolin thought about giving up.
But there is a saying in China that is good!
【All come】
I have endured turning off the lights and closing the switch, enduring Lisa slamming the door, enduring the delayed turnaround, the cruel murder soul trial in the blood-soaked refrigerator, and Lisa posting again and again!
Why the **** should I leave the game now?
no!
I don’t know about others!
But I, Xu Xiaolin, will never lead a dog lightly!
Today I will either leave in the game or I will leave in reality!
Me and the protagonist of this **** game have to go one way anyway!
Others boil the eagle, Xu Xiaolin boils Lisa.
Of course, an editor-in-chief and reviewer of Xu Xiaolin’s level is highly respected and has countless friends in the industry.
Needless to say, none of the editors within Tiantian Youbao could escape. They all went out to find a way to escape from the haunted house.
At the same time, he also contacted Piediepee, a well-known Utube game blogger who started his career in horror games and has 89 million fans!
Yes!
Xu Xiaolin and pew, although one is in China and the other is in Neon!
But they all know each other and have got in touch!
So, one of them was at the scene and the other was in the office, and they solved the final puzzle on the spot!
At this time!
Xu Xiaolin was discussing with pew through the split-screen heads-up display in the somatosensory cabin—
【ShallLin: I have always thought that there is a big problem with time in games, what do you think】
【Pew: I think so too, but when I go to adjust the clock in the alcove, it always jumps back to 23:59】
【ShallLin: 00:00 midnight must be a critical time point, 23:59 means that we have always been in the other world, and only by jumping in time can we return to the real world】
【Pew: But the question is, how do we make the time jump to 00:00? 】
That’s all!
咚—!
Suddenly!
Xu Xiaolin heard a bell ringing from the corridor!
Follow up!
There was a baby's giggle!
“Holy shit!!”
After taking two steps, Xu Xiaolin came to the alcove and saw that the time displayed on the clock had suddenly jumped to 00:00!
good!
wait!
High-end puzzles often use the most common puzzle-solving techniques!
Perhaps!
In the eyes of ordinary players, this is a very speechless puzzle section.
But in the eyes of Xu Xiaolin, who specializes in games, or a hard-core in-depth player like pew -
This design is simply wonderful! !
“Genius! Fucking Gu Sheng is a genius among geniuses! Unparalleled in the world, a unique genius!!”
Xu Xiaolin could not hide his excitement and shouted loudly in the somatosensory cabin!
Wonderful!
That’s wonderful!
He completely understood the meaning of Gu Sheng's design!
Just like using a key to open a lock or using your mouth to eat!
In reality, if you want to transition the time from 23:59 to 00:00, what do you need to do?
Nonsense, of course we have to wait!
Just wait a minute and it will be ready!
Yes!
In the game, Gu Sheng also adopts the same simple logic!
Let players wait for the same one minute as in reality, and then the clock will naturally jump from 23:59 to 00:00!
This is to prove that at this time, you have found the truth and escaped from the nightmare-like other world!
At this moment!
The boundary between the real world outside the somatosensory cabin and the game world inside the somatosensory cabin is blurred!
The concept of synchronized time flow allows players to subconsciously believe that they are in a real world built by Gu Sheng himself!
Everything just happened is not a game, it is all what you have actually experienced!
And now!
The time has jumped from 23:59 to 00:00!
The door to the real world is about to open!
You are just one step away!
This wonderful illusory experience is something Xu Xiaolin has never experienced before!
It can even be said that the experience brought to him by this "one minute" setting is no less than the unprecedented spiritual shock created by Lisa turning off the lights!
And when Xu Xiaolin told pew this discovery, pew also shouted "This is impossible"! !
It’s incredible!
A simple little trick blurs the boundary between the game and reality, allowing the game to break the third wall and connect the flow of time in the real world.
Even, pew raised soul questions about this!
【Pew: That’s **** unbelievable! Is Sam really from this world? I even feel like he is someone from another dimension! And in his world, there stands a colorful game kingdom that far exceeds our imagination! 】
alien!
Pew's exclamation naturally made Xu Xiaolin laugh!
It can be seen that pew was really surprised by Gu Sheng's design.
While laughing!
Xu Xiaolin walked forward while taking steps!
And just when he came to the corner!
【Boom------】
Another baby laugh sounded.
The so-called people who love to laugh will not have bad luck.
It was a coincidence that Xu Xiaolin took exactly ten steps after the last baby's laughter.
And this happens to be the key element of the second ring decryption.
But he has just taken a step forward!
Click!
Suddenly, the chandelier in the foyer began to flicker.
And in the strobe, Lisa's tall and twisted figure appeared again!
Although I have posted with her dozens of times before.
But such a sudden appearance still made Xu Xiaolin couldn't help but tremble!
but!
It was only a brief panic.
After the panic, a complicated emotion arose in his heart.
Indeed!
Gu Sheng's design is very underworld. This guy not only designed Lisa's image to be dirty and terrifying, but also added high-frequency twitching movements to her, making her look extremely unstable, as if she might go berserk and kill someone at any time. Even after seeing it so many times, the huge psychological pressure still made Xu Xiaolin feel nervous.
but!
After understanding everything that Lisa had gone through, in addition to fear, he also felt more sympathy and pity for Lisa.
She is just a pure victim.
Even this time when they met in reality, her desire to attack became extremely low or even nonexistent.
One person and one ghost stood opposite each other like this.
Lisa no longer cried or moaned in pain.
She just stood in the foyer, twitching and shaking under the flickering lights, as if waiting for something.
What is she waiting for?
Thinking for a long time!
Xu Xiaolin suddenly had an idea in his mind!
He thought of "Phobia" once produced by Gu Sheng.
In that game, players need to have a conversation with the ghost, thereby causing the ghost to interact.
Think of this!
Xu Xiaolin spoke slowly and tentatively:
“Uh hi, Lisa, we meet again…”
“I already understand the truth of the matter,”
“Although I am not the murderer, as an experiencer, I still want to say something—”
"Feel sorry,"
"And now...it's time for me to leave with the truth."
Lisa did not answer.
but!
Her body twitches seemed to become less frequent.
At the same time, Xu Xiaolin only felt a low roar coming from the whole house!
Next second!
）>
The third baby laugh sounded.
bang!
The chandelier returned to light, and the hollow sound that had been lingering in my ears disappeared.
And Lisa also disappeared.
Click—click—
The sound of the door lock automatically opening came from the foyer.
Xu Xiaolin took three steps and then two steps forward!
——
A cool breeze blew in along the crack in the open door of the room, dispersing the faint smell of blood in the infinite corridor.
Xu Xiaolin stood at the door and was stunned for ten seconds! !
13 reincarnations!
Nearly ten hours of non-stop play!
Countless times of extreme horror and disconnection and reconnection!
ˆDouble psychological and physical torture!
At this moment!
Finally relieved!
Xu Xiaolin even couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
The experience of being reborn made complex tears accumulate in his eyes!
This is his freedom!
This is also a relief for Lisa from the resentment she has accumulated for many years!
As if in a dream, Xu Xiaolin came to the door and slowly opened the door!
簌簌—
Outside the door!
It’s foggy!
Thick fog enveloped the town.
The streets are empty.
A small red Jeep was parked at the door.
Xu Xiaolin patted his pocket and found a bunch of car keys.
Successfully opened the door and started the car. It looked like the car he drove last night.
On the rearview mirror of the car, there was a press card with his name written on it.
Turn over.
On the back of the press card, there is a line of handwritten words, which is like a motto and his expectations for himself:
【I will be committed to exposing the most obscure and inaccessible news truth. This is my career and my lifelong pursuit】
【I will do anything for the truth】
——Miles Upshur
That’s it!
Silent Hill PT comes to a perfect end.
Xu Xiaolin knew who he really was and why he came here.
The truth about the long-standing murder case in the haunted house has been revealed, and I will continue to embark on a journey, as a journalist who adheres to my true heart, to find more, more obscure, more bizarre and even bizarre news truths.
Xu Xiaolin took one last look at the haunted house that had given him a nightmare experience, and sighed deeply.
Unemployment? unfair? Social issues?
jealous? Suspect? Mental illness?
He could not make a conclusion as to what caused this horrific murder.
Perhaps both.
And he, many years later, was just a reporter pursuing the truth, re-experienced this nightmare-like cycle here.
Perhaps Lisa just wants someone to know.
Once, here, in this now haunted house.
Lived in a family of three.
They were once harmonious and happy, loving each other.
She has never betrayed the family or done anything extraordinary.
That’s all.
After thinking about it, Xu Xiaolin shifted into gear and lightly stepped on the accelerator.
The car slid forward.
In the hazy fog, Xu Xiaolin vaguely saw the signboard at the intersection—
【silent Hill】
【Leave here】
The car accelerates.
However!
Just as he was about to break through the thick fog and leave Silent Hill!
I saw a motorcycle parked slowly on the side of the road diagonally across the lane!
A man with a frown and a worried expression got off his motorcycle, took off his helmet and hung it on the motorcycle's rearview mirror, and then took out a letter from his pocket.
Looked at the letter and then at the street sign.
Then, he stepped into the thick fog.
"Hey!"
Creak!
Xu Xiaolin stopped the car and wanted to ask the man who he was and why there was no one in this small town called Silent Hill.
However.
When he stopped the car and looked back, the man holding the letter had disappeared, as if he had melted into the thick fog.
There is only one motorcycle left on the road, and beside the motorcycle, a road sign stands quietly—
【silent Hill】
【Enter here】
And just when Xu Xiaolin was stunned!
Ding dong!
A message tone sounded next to his hand.
Xu Xiaolin picked up the phone and found an additional email message on the phone—
【Sender: 10260110756@mutemail.com】
【Recipient: MilesUpsher@gmail.com】
【Theme: The truth needs to be revealed】
【You don’t know me, let’s make a long story short, they are probably spying on me】
【I am currently...】
Due to the limited screen size of mobile phones.
So the content below is hidden.
Out of curiosity, Xu Xiaolin dialed his phone.
Follow up!
My eyesight goes dark!
The gentle sound of the violin sounded—

【Silent Hill (PT)】

【Comela】
