Chapter 529 Why is everyone dead? (Down)
“In life and in death…”
“In life and in death…”
“Glory to…”
When Yingshu staggered to catch up with the old woman, he heard her muttering something like a prayer.
“Uh…Private Marseille?”
Out of courtesy from Neon people, Yingshu tried to say hello to the old lady:
“Um...hello? What was that...uh? Or should I say...what was going on?”
Hearing Yingshu's voice, the old woman stopped.
Then, he slowly turned around, revealing his old face with ridges and grooves:
“Is it you...?”
"ah?"
Yingshu didn’t understand and spread his hands:
“What am I?”
The old woman looked him up and down: "It's you, the father of that child..."
——! !
As soon as this statement came out!
Hideki and Ethan took a breath almost at the same time!
The father of the child!
Obviously, the "child" the old woman was talking about was Rose!
…
“Child? Wait—you mean Rose!”
Hearing the old woman’s words, Ethan couldn’t help but asked eagerly.
The old woman in front of her actually knew about Rose’s existence, and she also knew that she was the child’s father!
Ethan couldn't help but take a step forward: "You know Rose! Where is she?"
“Hehehehe—Rose—yes!!”
The old woman was startled and laughed:
“She is in danger... After [Mother Goddess Miranda] brought her into the village, we were enveloped in darkness!”
"Miranda? Darkness? What? Are you talking about these monsters?"
Ethan was puzzled and wanted to continue asking.
However, the old woman ignored him at all. Instead, she turned around and walked away, minding her own business and saying:
“The castle bells are ringing, they’re coming—they’re coming—hahahahaha—”
Bang—! !
…
The gate of the village was closed by the old woman with her backhand, leaving Yingshu alone in the same place, disheveled in the wind.
…I need to be able to understand who I am.”
Hideki smacked his lips and gritted his teeth.
A classic Gu-style riddle.
The gods are chattering, and the clouds and mountains are covered with mist.
This seems to be a common practice for Golden Wind horror games, and players love to hate it.
What I love is its unique mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
What I hate is that things that can be explained clearly in a few sentences, but this old thief always uses extremely obscure metaphors and hints to express them, leaving you scratching your head and puzzled.
Hideki, as an experienced butter player, naturally knew that there was no need to waste too much time on the old woman, so he explored deeper into the village.
Go around and around.
Soon, he found a stone door with reliefs of a devil and a girl in the innermost part of the village, but the faces of the two reliefs were missing.
“This is very biohazard.”
Hideki raised his thumb.
It’s so classic!
Find slates, puzzle pieces, and open the traps.
Resident Evil has used puzzle-solving methods for decades. Even in the era of somatosensory cabins, it is still easy to use and can even make veteran players smile.
Soon, Yingshu found the first relief sculpture, which was the devil's cheek puzzle, in a big house not far from the stone gate.
This thing cannot be said to be easy to find. It can only be said that even a blind man can touch it.
After all, it was placed so grandly on the altar table upon entering the door.
However, this setting seems to be intentional by Golden Wind.
Stone sculptures are important, but what Golden Wind cares more about is letting players pay attention to the several hanging statues on the table while getting the stone sculptures.
Yes.
Beside the stone carvings, five hanging statues, one large and four small, are hanging on the altar table—
The large hanging portrait in the middle is of a woman wearing a strange headdress and a black veil.
Hideki couldn't help but shudder.
Although he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, the gloomy aura exuding from the inside still made him feel quite uncomfortable and somewhat cultish.
On the left hand side of the mysterious woman is an elegant woman wearing a Windsor hat and luxurious jewelry strung around her neck. She looks a bit like a countess.
Next to the Countess is an ugly-looking, hunched-over body that looks like a dwarf.
It all looks quite abnormal.
Looking to the right side of the mysterious woman, next to her is a doll.
That's right, it's just a...doll...with wooden joints. It doesn't look too big. It's wearing a flower wedding dress.
Next to the wedding doll is a man wearing a cowboy hat and a pair of round sunglasses on his nose.
"This is…?"
Facing these five strange hanging statues, Yingshu thought for a moment.
Then, a flash of inspiration occurred!
“Oh—Holy crap! This can’t be... the Four Heavenly Kings, right?!”
Exactly four people! And none of them look normal!
Thinking of the abstract bats, big fish, evil spirits, and war horses in the promotional video, it is difficult for Hideki not to associate the four people in front of him with the Four Heavenly Kings!
As for the mysterious woman in the middle...
Hideki recalled what the old woman said.
If you guessed it correctly—
The mysterious woman in the middle is probably the so-called "Mother Goddess Miranda"!
Wonderful! How wonderful!
With the appearance of five hanging portraits in front of you!
Yingshu felt goosebumps all over his body!
Obviously—
This is the dark fairy tale called "Phantom of the Village"!
The little girl strayed into the jungle, indicating that Chris' team was attacked and overturned, and Rose disappeared.
The four monsters gave gifts to the little girl one after another, indicating that the four heavenly kings were involved in Rose's transfer.
Finally, the evil witch appears and wants to extend her claws to the little girl.
This means that the mother goddess Miranda is going to attack Rose.
even!
The trailers of "Phantom of the Village" all end with an unfilled void!
What is the ending of Rose?
What will happen to the father who goes deep into the dark jungle to find his daughter?
【His story is about to end】
Suddenly, Hideki remembered the beginning of the first trailer again.
Yingshu seemed to have noticed something, but he was not sure.
At this moment!
——
In the room, the radio suddenly rang.
Among the muffled noises, a girl's voice came out faintly - [This is...if there are any survivors...come to the church...meet]
【Repeat...survivors...church...】
…
Good news!
There are still living people!
Bad news!
Someone was bitten!
“I’m shocked. I bet fifty cents that this person will definitely mutate in a moment.”
Lao Ju said firmly.
Now, with the deepening of the exploration, he also met two survivors on the way to find the statue puzzle.
It is a girl named Elena and her old father.
She sent the broadcast just now, with the purpose of getting more survivors to unite, and to see if anyone could help her father with a simple bandage.
Yes.
Elena’s old father was bitten by a zombie.
Although he knew what was going to happen next, the kind-hearted Lao Ju still helped Elena's father bandage it a little, and even "wasted" a bottle of hand sanitizer for this purpose.
However, in return, Elena took him to the chapel.
Here, there are still about a dozen survivors taking refuge.
“No one knows what’s going on. The last second we were calm and living hard,”
The small room in the church was tense, and someone was talking about the whole story:
“The monsters will attack us in the next second, and they are endless... But fortunately, my husband has gone outside to ask for help. I hope he can come back safely.”
At the suggestion of one of the survivors, the group formed a circle and began to pray—
"Great God, we are in awe and pray together..."
“Gifts are given to one’s life, and they will be worshiped forever…”
“In life and in death, glory be to Miranda, the Mother Goddess.”
Lao Ju did not participate in the prayer.
after all-
“I feel a little unlucky,”
Sitting on the seat next to him, Lao Ju carefully pulled out the pistol from his waist and looked at the bitten old man who was showing pain and breathing rapidly:
“Foreigners don’t have some kind of prayer before meals. At this time, I can’t even tell whether we want to eat or...”
The words have not yet finished!
Ahem—! Cough cough cough—!
Suddenly!
The old man who had been bitten suddenly looked extremely painful and coughed non-stop!
On the side, the woman who suggested praying saw the old man in this state and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Seeing this, Lao Ju kept silent and protected everyone in front of him:
“Three…two…one…”
“The old man is serving dinner.”
Hang—! !
As Lao Ju’s words fell!
The old man ran away instantly, grabbed the fruit knife on the table, pointed it at the neck of the woman next to him, and stabbed it into the neck!
Pfft—! !
In an instant, the whole room was in chaos!
Some people were pinned to the ground and had their necks bitten off, some were knocked down and killed on the way to escape, and some even gave the mutated old man a warm meal because they knocked over an oil lamp!
For a time, the whole house was in chaos. The kerosene lamp lit the wooden house on fire, and the whole church was instantly on fire!
Actually, we were originally here!
Everything is pretty much “normal”.
At least as far as the game process is concerned, all the plot developments are very reasonable.
According to the development of the plot, Ethan should bravely step forward and kill the mutated old man.
After all, the previous protagonists such as Leon and Chris all followed this routine.
Seeing that the mutated old man was about to pounce on the surviving Elena, Lao Ju couldn't help but step forward:
“Don’t be afraid, girl! I’ll do it!”
And the next second!
哐丁! Plop!
“Oh shit! Girl, save me! I’m down!!”
With a sound of falling to the ground, Lao Ju was pushed to the ground heavily by the old werewolf man with claws and teeth, and he called for help in panic!
For a time, the entire live broadcast room burst into laughter—
'I am coming! I fell! Save me, save me, save me—’
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha’
'show'
‘What do you think you, an ordinary citizen, are doing?’
‘Old man: Today I will show you what a black hand is! ’
‘The golden wind can always make the plot develop in an evil direction...'
‘It’s so abstract, hahahahahaha…’
‘…’
However!
Just when the friends in the live broadcast room were shouting that Laoju was operating abstractly!
A more abstract scene appears!
"dad-!!"
Just heard a heart-rending cry!
Follow up!
Just hear a loud noise!
Bang—! !
The big sprayer directly sprayed the old man in front of Laoju horizontally, and blood splashed everywhere in an instant!
Lao Ju looked back with question marks on her head!
I saw Elena crying and holding a big gun with a smoking gun in her hand, crying very sadly:
“Dad—what’s wrong with you? Dad—oooooo—”
At this moment, I saw the old man who had been so angry that he was not killed struggled to stand up again, and staggered towards him again.
Seeing this, Elena cried even louder:
“Oh my God...can someone tell me what happened? Why is this happening! Dad—!”
Bang! !
The barrage will make you laugh out loud——
‘Hahahahahahahaha! Too abstract! ’
‘Although this is a bit rude, this paragraph is too rough’
‘You’re so filial to me…’
‘It’s hard not to suspect that this is the old thief’s bad taste’
‘This part is too careless…’
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I laughed so much that the property management knocked on the door’
‘The main theme is a loving father and a filial daughter’
‘I am filial ≠I will not destroy you’
‘The inequality is gone! ’
‘…’
"Hahahahahahaha, I rely on this too abstract ..."
Here, although the situation was urgent, Lao Ju couldn't hold back and laughed out loud:
“This contrast is so funny. The key is that it’s tense and funny at the same time. It’s so…”
The words have not yet finished!
Hang—! !
The old man who was sprayed down actually stood up again!
But Lao Ju, who was watching Elena trying to reload the bullet, finally couldn't hold it any longer and tugged on Elena's arm:
“Let’s go! Stop fighting! Your father is going to be turned into a sieve!”
However!
Just when Lao Ju is about to pull the only survivor, Elena, to escape!
Suddenly!
Click—! !
With a loud sound of a wooden beam breaking!
Lao Ju felt a wave of heat coming in front of her!
The collapse of the beams instantly submerged Elena in the sea of fire!
Just less than half a minute!
No one survived in the entire safe house. The blazing fire illuminated Ethan's stunned face, drowning the only hope of life in the village!
At this moment!
The most abstract and only happiest moment in the whole game is here!
Lao Ju followed the prompts on the UI interface and sighed heavily, with a tone full of grief and anger, and gave the stone wall next to her a hard hammer:
“Why...everyone is dead?!”
