Chapter 3: Nightmare Mission
"I believe you must still be curious about whether there are ghosts in the world, let's play a little game, the truth is the moment you open your eyes."
The nightmare-level mission narrative is very vague, and it is not clear exactly what to do, but it just gives people a strange feeling.
"Looking at the mission description, it should be to play a game, but just playing a game can be classified as a nightmare?" In order to complete the task of general difficulty, he did not rest for several hours before he managed to repair all the dolls within the time limit.
Flipping through the phone, the more Chen Ge looked at it, the more curious he became: "Why don't you give it a try?" ”
As soon as this thought appeared, it spread uncontrollably in his mind like a vine.
"The nightmare level task has the highest reward, and the three tasks that were refreshed today, I don't have the confidence to complete the simple and ordinary tasks at all, so it's better to gamble."
If he can't survive the off-season, the horror house is about to be transferred and closed, Chen Ge knows his current situation very well, and finally saw the hope of change, he is naturally unwilling to let go of any opportunity.
"It's decided, I'm going to have to see a nightmare-level mission sooner or later anyway."
Sitting up from the bed, Chen Ge nodded to the last task.
"Are you sure you're going to accept the Nightmare difficulty daily quest? Once accepted, there is a possibility that unknown situations may arise. ”
"Sure."
The phone screen flashed, and the real mission information emerged.
"It takes a lot of courage to see another world, a lot of luck and a little help. The name of the game is called "You in the Mirror": enter the bathroom alone at 2:04 a.m., lock the bathroom door and turn off the lights, face the mirror, and light a candle between the mirror and you. Then close your eyes, concentrate, and slowly mutter your name. ”
"Anything can happen in the dark, maybe a strange face will appear in the mirror, maybe there will be a pair of scarlet eyes watching in the corner, or blood oozing out of the walls and doors, all you have to do is stand quietly in front of the mirror."
"The mission automatically succeeds after half an hour, provided that you don't open your eyes no matter what happens in the meantime."
After reading the mission introduction, Chen Ge felt a little furious in his heart: "Is there really another world that ordinary people can't see?" ”
It was still early at 2:04 in the morning, and he didn't rush to leave, and searched the Internet for something related to the game.
After a while, Chen Ge really found some, some people were haunted by bad luck because of playing this game, some were vague, mentioned their disfigured faces several times, and even disappeared in their own homes, suspecting that they had been dragged into the world in the mirror.
"One by one, they are told in such detail and realistically, just like a ghost story." The more Chen Ge looked, the more curious he became, he himself was a haunted house, and every day he was thinking about how to be scary and how to bring tourists a more terrifying experience within a safe range. After seeing the various introductions to the game, he felt that a new door was opening.
"Playing a horror game alone in a haunted house late at night is exciting to think about!"
He checked his phone's battery level and felt it was necessary to record this historic moment.
"I'm going to record the whole thing later, if it's really that scary, maybe I can have a new project in my haunted house." He rummaged through boxes and cabinets for candles and lighters, waited until two o'clock in the morning, and took his prepared things to the bathroom on the first floor of the haunted house.
The reason why he came to the bathroom on the first floor to play this game, Chen Ge also thought it through, in case something terrible really appeared during the game, he could also jump out of the window and leave.
In the middle of the night, the haunted house was dead silent, and a young man who could not do without saving electricity and his life, with a flashlight and a candle, locked himself in the cramped, cramped bathroom without much hesitation.
"The closed and dark environment can arouse people's inner fear the most, and the bathroom is the heaviest place in the whole house. The person who designed this game is smart, he knows how to grasp the deep weaknesses of people, and use simple environments to create the deepest horror. Chen Ge has a deep understanding of horror and horror that is different from ordinary people, and he analyzes and learns at the same time.
"Real fear doesn't really need too many expensive props, it just needs to amplify the deep uneasiness of the visitor, and he will be defeated by himself." Chen Ge took a deep breath, turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, and said to the screen: "I don't know what the consequences of this game will be, if I have an accident, please pay attention to the person who picked up this mobile phone, be sure to save this video, it will be a key, a key to open the lock of lies." ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Ge fixed his mobile phone next to the sink, and from this angle, he could photograph Chen Ge and the mirror opposite him at the same time.
"It's two and one minutes, and three minutes to go."
Waiting for death is more terrifying than death itself, in the silent bathroom, any wind and grass is magnified, and as time approaches, Chen Ge's heartbeat is getting faster and faster.
He looked at the time on the screen of his phone, and when the minute hand pointed to four, he turned off the flashlight, lit the candle, and placed it between the mirror and himself.
The flickering flame became the only source of light in the darkness, standing between the mirror and reality, like a guiding soul lamp, trying to draw something out of the mirror.
Chen Ge glanced at himself in the glasses, and faintly felt a little weird: "Has the game started?" ”
He slowly lowered his head, closed his eyes, and whispered his name.
"Chen Ge, Chen Ge, Chen Ge ......"
Constantly chanting one's own name will make people slowly feel unfamiliar with the name, which is like writing a certain Chinese character repeatedly, and at the end of the writing, even they can't recognize the word.
In order to avoid this situation, Chen Ge would silently count three seconds every time he finished reading his name, and he was also counting the time in doing so.
After all, the prerequisite for the success of the mission is that no matter what happens within half an hour, you can't open your eyes to see.
"At two o'clock in the morning, I was alone in a haunted house, lighting candles, closing my eyes, and standing in front of a mirror to play games. If it weren't for the fact that I was experiencing it myself, I wouldn't have believed that anyone would do such a thing. Chen Ge silently read his name, and he tried his best to stop himself from thinking nonsense.
"This game is full of psychological implications, and the most difficult part is not to deal with the so-called ghosts and legends, but to restrain yourself. As long as you don't open your eyes, there should be no danger. ”
Easier said than done, after spending the first ten minutes, the unexpected struck.
