In the days before the official open beta of "Strange Palace", although Zhen Shifeng was already busy, he didn't forget to log in to the game every night and brush a few scripts by the way, in a sense, it was not only to complete the work but also to relieve pressure, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

Of course, he still hasn't been able to understand the content of this mysterious commission, what exactly is the sequence of truths? And what means should be used to find it? The jury is still out.

Without further ado, the next script appears someday after the events of the quiz have ended. This is a typical representative of the many scripts that Zhen Shifeng has broken through before the game's open beta, because the shock it brought to Brother Feng is really unforgettable.

[Captain: That's crazy; Do you want to enter the game? 】

[You have selected the single-player mode (normal), the script will be randomly generated, please ...... later]

[The single-player script has been locked, the personnel screening has been completed, the first scene is about to load, and the teleportation has begun]

When the prompt sounds, the first scene is suddenly darkened, and the first scene is revealed: dilapidated walls, dusty floors, rusty and yellowed shelves, and scattered shelves with some daily necessities that have long passed their production dates. Apparently, this is an old grocery store that has been abandoned for many years.

Looking out through the window on one side, the line of sight is a vast white patch, as if shrouded in thick fog, and some shadows of buildings can be faintly seen. But based on the above points alone, it is still impossible to determine whether this script is an open scene, if it is only limited to the grocery store in front of you, it is most likely an escape room series, and Zhen Shifeng is even better.

[Game ID: It's crazy; Game Level: Temporarily locked; Game Title: Murder Maniac】

[HP: 500; Stamina: 1000; Natural Attribute Value: Temporarily Locked】

[Welcome to the Single Player Mode of Hall of Strange (General), you can choose to continue the game or return to the previous menu]

In fact, this last option is very important for most beginners, and if the first scene presented in front of you is too terrifying and you don't have the mental capacity or strength to deal with it, then reloading the script is a good choice. Of course, judging the difficulty of the script based on the first scene alone is often too skewed, and in some cases luck prevails. It's a pity that Zhen Shifeng's luck has never been very good, but he still resolutely pressed the option of 'continue to play'.

[Neural coordination is in progress, holographic scanning projection begins, and the script is expanding, please be patient and wait for ......]

[The script generation is over, and you have entered the single-player mode (normal) script "Dream"]

At the same time, a slightly neutral cutscene CG prompt sounded in my ears:

[The world of dreams is wonderful, varied, wonderful, and desirable. However, the deeper you go, the more real the heart reflected in the dream becomes, and once you are trapped in it and can't extricate yourself, then the beautiful dream will turn into a nightmare and swallow it up.

[Of all the dreams, the triple dream is the most terrifying, and as the severity deepens, an unlimited cycle will be initiated, and the person who has fallen will live forever in the cycle of suffering, and when his will is lost and he is reduced to a walking corpse, his soul will also dissipate]

[Late one night, this unfortunate thing finally happened to you, and the only way to get rid of the erosion of the dream is to wake up before the end of the third dream, otherwise you will fall into infinite reincarnation forever]

[Go, believe in yourself, you are destined not to be ordinary!] 】

When the sound fell, Zhen Shifeng finally got control of his body, and at this moment he was lying flat on the floor near the side of the shelf, with a towel on his head, and he obviously had just woken up.

"Am I in my first dream now?" Zhen Shifeng cautiously looked at the surrounding environment while talking to himself, and after several searches, he didn't find any valuable clues, "Okay, it seems that we can only talk about going out first." ”

At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded:

[Main Quest: Get out of the first dream, otherwise you will fall into the second one]

[Reminder: In this scenario, your items and skills will not be available]

Zhen Shifeng subconsciously touched his space backpack, and the result was indeed temporarily locked, and the same is true for releasing skills, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of clearing the level.

"According to the hints of the cutscene CG, each dream is more difficult to get rid of than the previous one, and the first one is undoubtedly the easiest. But then again, how do I get out of the dream, will I be forced to crash into the wall and die? ”

Finding the right way to get out of the dream is naturally the top priority throughout the entire script, and without any hints, Zhen Shifeng can only grope and move on.

When you open the small door of the general store, you will be greeted by a world shrouded in thick fog, and the visibility in the field of vision is no more than three meters. As you can tell from the signs on the side of the road, this is actually a small town called 'Anning Town'.

"Anning Town, why is this name so familiar?" Something suddenly came to Zhen Shifeng's mind, it seemed to be the deepest memory, blurry. With a hint of doubt, Zhen Shifeng immediately launched a search for this town, and gradually, there were more and more strange places.

First of all, there is not half a single person in the huge town, the vehicles that have not yet turned off are scattered in the streets, and the shops that have opened their doors are empty. It's as if the city was in normal operation a second ago, but at this moment, everyone seems to have suddenly evaporated, which is really weird.

Secondly, the distribution of the white fog that permeates the whole town is also regular, with a certain point in the town as the center, and the concentration of the fog gradually decreases from the inside to the outside. This seems to have been intentional, reminding the player that the key to unlocking the Nightmare is in the center of the fog.

Of course, Zhen Shifeng still spent about two hours searching around the inner circle of the town to make sure that nothing was missed, and then he hurried towards the general direction where the fog was thickest.

After another thirty minutes, when he came to a hut wrapped in layers of thick fog, the dusty door in Zhen Shifeng's mind was finally slowly opened.

"Impossible, why is it here?"

Zhen Shifeng when he was a child is very familiar with the cottage in front of him, this is the bungalow where his grandparents lived in the past, and it is also the place where he lived with his mother when he was a child. However, after the death of his mother, he never came again, and I wonder if my grandparents are still alive, but no matter what, the happy times of the past are gone.

Putting aside the memories of the past, why the long-sealed memories turned into scenes in the game, the only thing that can be thought of is the ghost of the exclusive game cabin. It is undeniable that this kind of game is built by connecting the player's central nervous system, and it is very possible to read some memory information stored in the cerebral cortex during the connection, and I am afraid that this is also the case in the scene where vodka appeared in your home before.

If there is a book, it will be long and there will be no book, Zhen Shifeng will naturally not be too entangled in this kind of problem, and after sorting out his mood a little, he walked into the house with heavy steps.

Familiar tastes, familiar scenes, everything is so nostalgic, and the memories of the past are reproduced in such a way, I really don't know whether to worry or be surprised.

"Is there anybody? Grandpa, grandma, are you there? Zhen Shifeng shouted loudly as he walked, but what answered him was a dull silence.

For some reason, an inexplicable sense of fear arose, and the longer I stayed in the house, the stronger it became. When he walked to the kitchen at the end of the second floor, Zhen Shifeng finally stopped, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, because he vaguely sensed that there must be something terrible in this room that he couldn't see but could perceive.

"Is it a human or a ghost? Show up! ”

At the moment when the word 'body' fell, a bloodstained arm suddenly rested on Zhen Shifeng's shoulder, and a creepy voice sounded in his ears.

"You......... Return......... Come......... Finish! ”
