“Welcome to our company’s product. Scanning has begun. Please wait a moment.”
[Scan completed, citizen ID confirmed: SH13***313, name: [Feng bujue][access device: NL2055 luxury single-person gaming pod, no external hardware detected][[Cardiopulmonary function is at normal value. Neural connection program is ready. Please choose the type of connection.]
“Access type is non-sleep mode. Adjusting … Adjustment complete. Please confirm to load the game or return to the upper option.”
“Program activated. Loading in ten seconds …”
After a series of familiar system notifications, Feng bujue arrived at the game’s log-in lobby.
!!It was 3 pm on the 23rd of November.
The server had just turned on when brother Jue logged in.
Of the entire Hell’s frontline team, he was the only one who had logged in at this time … The others had things to do during the day.
Of course, Feng bujue was actually very busy. It was just that … He was not in the mood to write for the past two days, so he put his energy elsewhere.
It had been two days since RUO Yu had left. In the past two days, brother Jue and Ruoyu had not contacted each other even once. Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, and miss an … Seemed to be avoiding the two on purpose. It looked like … They already knew about this.
Yesterday afternoon, the transportation company had moved Ruoyu’s game cabin that she had left at brother Jue’s house. Feng bujue did not say anything but cooperated with them.
Arthas did not leave anything behind. After all, this cat spent most of his time eating at the table and knew how to use the human toilet …
In any case, in just two days, Feng bujue had returned to the solitary state he was in before.
He consoled himself … That he finally didn’t have to sleep on the sofa or in the game cabin anymore. She could finally go back to her room. Finally, she didn’t have to share the bathroom with others. Finally, she didn’t have to cook and clean every day. Finally … He was at ease again.
Was he at ease?
Perhaps.
Was he lonely?
He didn’t think so in the past, but now … Maybe.
“The limited time trial has begun. You have 47 game time left: 59:30】
When Feng bujue walked to the touch screen, the system prompt was the first to appear.
[You have gained the right to choose a new title. You can choose to use all the titles you have used before or keep the existing titles.]
Before he could finish, a game menu automatically popped up before brother Jue’s eyes. In the menu, there was a list of titles that brother Jue had used before, including …[Cold-blooded Skull Cracker],[unpredictable madman],[plot Explorer],[dark pioneer],[enchanter], and the [schemer] that he was currently using. Other than that, there was also a “pending” option. In other words … He did not have to choose it immediately. He could consider it for a while. After all, this option could be retained for twenty-four hours.
“Hmm … The game menu has also been upgraded …” Feng bujue mumbled as he moved his eyes. When he moved his focus to a title, a small window would open next to the title, listing the title’s abilities and detailed descriptions.
Brother Jue did not look at each of the options in detail because he remembered all the abilities of these titles. Therefore, he chose the title of [dark pioneer] without hesitation.
[You have chosen the dark Vanguard-] the next second, the voice message sounded again-and the ‘confirm’ and ‘cancel’ options popped up before brother Jue.
After he chose “confirm,” his title immediately changed. The system also prompted: [Your title has been changed.]
After that, Feng bujue’s expression did not change much. He turned his gaze to the touch screen and prepared to join the queue.
Normally, brother Jue would have gone to the storage room to prepare or to sort out his mail, but today … He was not in the mood.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to immerse himself in the single-person nightmare scenario and focus on the plot and puzzles. This was better than letting her imagination run wild all day and adding to her troubles.
Feng bujue, level 50
“Please select the game mode you wish to join.”
“You’ve chosen solo survival mode (nightmare). Please confirm.”
“Confirmed, generating scenario …”
“Loading, please wait.”
At this point, Feng bujue had lost control of his body, and the teleportation had begun.
“Welcome … To Thriller Paradise …” Then, he heard a hoarse, young man’s voice.
“Download Complete. You are currently playing single player survival mode (nightmare).
“A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of a side or hidden mission and a special world-building appearing.
“Reward for clearing the scenario: a random draw of four puzzle cards
“The scenario introduction is about to play. The game will start immediately after the play.
Creak creak creak creak creak
With the sound of a metal door being pushed open, the opening cinematics began.
A corridor appeared before Feng bujue’s eyes. The corridor was made of cement, and the color was dark. There was a row of white chandeliers that looked very old hanging from the ceiling.
“Hah … Hu …” Then, a heavy breathing sound entered brother Jue’s ears.
At the same time, the camera began to move forward at a slow, undulating speed.
At this point, Feng bujue could confirm that he was watching the cinematics from the perspective of ‘a character in a certain scenario’, and the breathing he heard was the character’s own voice.
[In the 1940s, a top-secret experimental plan was carried out in an underground experimental base.]
“The forties …” Feng bujue’s mind was racing.”The Manhattan Project?” Japan’s 731 unit? Or is it one of the countless fraudulent attempts of a certain Germany ruler?”
[A group of scientists from the former Soviet Union have decided to conduct an experiment on “what kind of reaction humans have after being deprived of sleep.”]
“Oh …” When the narrator finished the second sentence, Feng bujue understood.”The Soviet Union’s sleep experiment.”
Brother Jue knew a thing or two about this so-called ‘Soviet Union’s sleep experiment’, but as for what the scenario that Thriller Paradise would generate … That was hard to say, so Feng bujue paid close attention to the narration.
[They selected five political war criminals from World War II as experimental subjects.]
[These people were told that as long as they could stay awake for thirty days in a row, they would be free …]
Wuwuwuwu
Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing came from behind the camera.
Almost at the same time, the camera suddenly turned 180 degrees, but in the picture … There was still only a dark corridor, and no one.
“Hah … Hah …” The gasps became more and more rapid, and it could be heard that the protagonist of the CG was very frightened. Even though he turned around to confirm that he didn’t see anything, he (it sounded like a man from the panting) still quickened his pace.
[They were locked in a secret room, and there was a constant gas that could keep people excited.]
[The scientists communicate with them through the hanging Windows and microphones.]
“Dong Dong Dong!”
Two seconds later, another strange sound was heard. This time, it sounded like footsteps.
“Oh … God … I beg you …” The man who was leading the cinematics from a first-person perspective muttered a line in a very low and sobbing tone and began to run forward.
“They have enough food, books, running water, toilets, and a few beds to last them a month.”
[Just like that, the experiment began …]
“Haah … Haah … We’re almost there … We’re almost there! “You can do it, Andre … You won’t die Here …” Andre introduced himself by talking to himself and staggered to a corner in front.
And then …
“Ah, Yingluo.”
The moment the scream came out, the CG image shook violently, and the lights in the corridor disappeared.
Then, in the depressing darkness, a face that looked like a dried corpse flashed across the camera. He … Or “it” had an excited smile on its face.
After this fleeting but hair-raising scene, the brief introduction to the scenario ended.
This also meant that … The script had already begun.
[Main mission triggered]
The system notification came very quickly. Feng bujue had just gained control of his body when the voice message rang in his ears.
He used less than a second to confirm the following things.
First, his inventory and skill bar were locked, and he could not use his psionic weapon.
Secondly, his physical fitness was no different from that of an ordinary person. The equipment bonus was no longer effective, and his data view was also sealed.
Thirdly, the mission was to [escape from the experimental base].
“I can’t see anything …” The second after he regained his senses, Feng bujue started to feel the ground around him.
At this moment, he was sitting with his back against the wall. According to the touch of his hand, he should be sitting on the concrete floor.
It was pitch-black in front of him, and he couldn’t even see his fingers. As an experienced Thriller Paradise player, Feng bujue knew very well that … With such an opening condition, there was a high chance that he had a flashlight or other lighting equipment scattered around his hands.
“Pa! Pa!”
Five seconds later, brother Jue did find something on the ground not far from his right. It was a cold hand.
Imagine, after watching a first-person horror video, a person was immediately thrown into a dark and unfamiliar environment, and then touched a cold hand on the ground … If you were that person, how would you react?
In any case, Feng bujue’s reaction was … To follow the hand.
Soon, he touched the sleeves, the collar, and the viscous liquid … He didn’t know what the liquid was, but he was sure it wasn’t blood, because it didn’t smell like blood, nor was it viscous.
Brother Jue did not stop because of the nauseating feeling. He continued to move his hand down as if nothing had happened. A few seconds later, he realized that the other party was wearing clothes without pockets. The texture was similar to an Autumn Shirt, but it was thicker than ordinary autumn clothes.
“A mental patient’s binding suit?” When brother Jue touched his waist, he made this speculation.
His hands and feet were extremely fast. In less than five seconds, he found the strap and lock at the back of the clothes, verifying his own deduction. He also found that … The right foot and head of the person he touched were gone. The two wounds were in a strange shape, so it was not easy to judge by touching. He had to find a way to “see” them.
“No?” after searching the body and the one-meter radius around it, Feng bujue still could not find any lighting. In fact … Other than the unknown liquid that covered his hands, he did not find anything else … That disappointed him.
However, brother Jue did not find this strange. After all, nightmare difficulty … Was unreasonable to begin with.
“It’s not beside me, so I’ll have to expand my search area …” Feng bujue thought as he stood up and held the wall beside him.”To find out the approximate size of this space, the most efficient way is to roar, but doing so … Will most likely attract the monsters.”
Brother Jue had been paying attention to the ‘sound’ part. From the moment he regained his ability to move until now, he had been trying his best to keep quiet. Not only was he very quiet when he searched the body, he even controlled his breathing. Therefore, he would definitely not choose to shout.
“Let’s go along the walls …” After thinking for a few seconds, Feng bujue made the decision.
At this time, most people would choose to start exploring from the left side, because people subconsciously had the idea that “staying away from the corpse means staying away from danger.” However, brother Jue was different. He jumped over the body and walked along the wall on the right.
In the end, he had only walked about three meters when he touched something on the wall …
“A switch?” It was a very typical concave light switch. One touch and you would know, but at that second, Feng bujue hesitated because his experience and instinct told him, the moment it is turned on … What will happen?
Of course, even if he knew this, he had no reason not to turn on the switch.
Two seconds later, Feng bujue adjusted his standing posture and breathing. He leaned his back against the wall and … Pushed the switch upward.
Pipi Yunxi
With the sound of a dial, a blazing white light lit up.
What entered Feng bujue’s sight was a square room with a length of eight meters, and the source of the light was a light bulb at the top of the room.
The room was almost empty, and the only exit was a metal door. The door was right next to the light switch. If Feng bujue had taken two more steps forward, he would have reached the door frame.
Other than that … Even though there was no window in the room, there was a mirror on the wall opposite Feng bujue.
It was a large mirror that was two meters wide and one meter tall. The body of the mirror was completely embedded in the cement wall, and the bottom of the mirror was about one meter above the ground.
For some reason, when Feng bujue’s eyes touched the mirror, he had a feeling … At that very moment, on the other side of the mirror, someone … Or rather, something … Was looking at him. (To be continued.)
