Chapter 1: A Spooky Game
Dark......
Silence......
When everyone put on the heavy headphones and the only light in the room was turned off, I suddenly felt lonely and abandoned by the world, and the excitement and curiosity I had when I first came in disappeared. The fear of silence and darkness has unconsciously sprouted in the heart of the writer www.biquge.info Fun, Pavilion.
Just before the lights went out, the moment everyone put on the headphones, the female staff member said: If you feel scared for a while, please be sure to take off the headphones.
Fear!
Why did she use those two words?!
It's not a scary horror game, so why should we be afraid?!
It was pitch black in front of me, there was no sound in the headphones, the room was so quiet that it seemed that I could hear the sound of time beating, this deathly silence was like a big stone, pressing heavily on my chest, making me breathless, I began to regret walking into this room, regretting agreeing to Lin Hui to come to this happy manor, and even more regretting that I obediently handed over my mobile phone before entering the room, otherwise I could at least use the light of my mobile phone now to find a trace of comfort in my heart.
My name is Luo Jun, I am 30 years old, and like most ordinary people, I am a 9-to-5 office worker, a designer, and unmarried.
I don't know how I came here with these people around me, not to mention that the friendship between them is not deep, and a few of them are not even friends, plus a thrilling adventure place like Happy Manor is not a place I should come to at my age for a long time, at least I think so, not to mention that I am still an otaku who likes to be quiet and alone, but even so, I actually agreed to Lin Hui's invitation last night, and I didn't hesitate too much, I felt like crazy.
As it turned out, it was this act that I thought was crazy that led me into a series of unbelievable horrors and horrors that followed.
As for this happy manor, it is a super-large amusement park built in the city three years ago, with a variety of novelty, similar to roller coasters and haunted houses, or thrilling, or horror and thriller amusement projects, which is an excellent choice for young people to challenge their courage and seek thrills. And where I'm now is one of the few "quiet places" in the park, at least as I thought when I first entered, an audio-visual detective game called the Revenge Room.
"Our game starts now!"
Suddenly, the voice of an old, hoarse and slightly eerie man, sounded without warning, like a thunderclap on my heart, pulling me back from my thoughts. I jerked my head to check, because the voice was clearly behind me, in my ear. It's just that my head hasn't been completely turned around before something pulls me, and then I remember that I still have headphones on my ears, and the sound I hear now is naturally coming from here, I breathe a sigh of relief, I didn't expect this inconspicuous pair of headphones to achieve such a sound effect, making people feel immersive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a moment of silence, there was another sound of low and slow footsteps in the room, and from far and near, I could clearly feel the wooden floor shaking under my feet, which was by no means a hallucination, it was supposed to be some small mechanism arranged to add to the atmosphere of the game, so that the player felt as if someone had really come to him, walked in front of him, stopped, and banged the floor with the sole of his shoe.
Actually, it was still pitch black in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything, and of course, nothing was normal, because all I could feel now was hallucinations caused by sound guidance.
After the footsteps, the room fell silent again, but I knew it wouldn't last long, because the game had already begun.
Sure enough, after about half a minute, the gloomy voice sounded again in front of me: "Look at your surprised look, it seems that you don't know what's going on!" But ......" the voice cut off suddenly, and then I heard something trivial like digging something in your pocket, "but you don't have a chance to ask, because you can't speak, of course, I won't let you be a fool, you know how kind I am." Let's take a look, do you still know this thing? ”
As I spoke, there was a crisp thud on the table in front of me, as if something had really been put on it, but I couldn't see anything.
"Oh, I'm so sorry my friend, I forgot, you can neither speak nor look now, and you are still blindfolded by me! Haha......"
The voice burst into laughter, arrogant and desolate, and I realized that I was no longer just an observer, but had participated in the game, and presumably the others were playing the same role as me, the poor man who had been brutally murdered by the murderer. But for some reason, even though I knew that all this was just a little game to test courage and intelligence, and it was all fake, I couldn't help but have heart palpitations!
"Don't worry, I have plenty of time to describe it slowly for you. It's a finger that's been hidden for years, but don't be afraid, because it doesn't look disgusting, it's more like a prop when pinched, like a ...... It's like an aging eraser, if you don't believe it, you can reach out and touch it yourself. ”
The sound stopped abruptly at this moment, and it seemed to be waiting for my action. To be honest, I did feel the urge to reach out and touch it, and that's where the game was most successful, and the atmosphere it created was already deep for players, at least for me.
After a moment's thought, I was about to reach over when the voice resounded, interrupting my movements.
"I'm not wrong, am I? You remember it, even if I was blindfolded, you still recognized it! Then I don't need to say, you should know why you're here, right?! ”
There was a noticeable change in the man's tone, with a hint of excitement mixed with pleasure, so much so that even the gloomy feeling lessened.
The ground, which had been calm for a long time, began to shake again, making the sound of the chair legs hitting the floor, as if we were struggling, of course, these were illusions, because the chair we were sitting on was fixed to the floor and could not be moved.
"Look at you, why are you so excited? You will die, but rest assured, you will die a happy death, and you will never be as ...... as Lin Xi did three years ago."
As the man said Lin Xi's name, the shaking of the ground became more and more intense, and I could faintly hear the "hmm" sound coming from someone's throat, which was the first time since the game started to hear another sound, the grief of the poor victim played by the player!
The man on the other side did not continue to speak, he must have admired the victim's frightened appearance, and enjoyed it so much that he was reluctant to interrupt him. I was so frightened by my own thoughts that my heart fluttered, why did I have such thoughts? This is just a thought that only criminals should have?! Maybe...... Maybe every normal person will become strange after spending a long time in the dark, right?
The sound of the knock on the floor became fainter and fainter, and it seemed that the victim was tired, and when the room fell silent again, the man opposite smiled sadly, "How is it, is the fear of waiting for death crushing?" Do you now understand what it's like to go from hope to despair? Don't stare at me like this, that's right, I'm here to avenge Lin Xi! ”
The game finally moved on to the theme of revenge, and the angry voices were gone, replaced by heavy footsteps, from front to behind me, and I knew the killer was about to do it!
My fragile heart tightened for no apparent reason, and even though I had repeatedly told myself that it was all just an audio novel, I could still feel my heartbeat accelerating.
The floor that had just calmed down shook violently again, and it could be heard that this was a person's last dying struggle, mixed with heavy breathing, full of fear and unwillingness, and after about five or six minutes, as the sound of struggle weakened until it disappeared, the whole room returned to dead silence again.
He's dead!
There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
I really admire the real feeling that this game brings beyond the visuals, it is intense, shocking, and extremely impactful.
The darkness continues, the silence remains the same, I gradually withdraw from the immersive scene just now, but there is more uneasiness in my heart, I don't know what the source of this uneasiness is, maybe it's just that the game is over and the lights in the room are not turned on, or the story is not over, I prefer the latter, after all, this game is not up to standard as a suspense story, barely a murder scene.
I waited quietly for the storyline to unfold, patience is not difficult for a long-time painter, and all I have to do now is to concentrate so as not to be startled by the sudden sound in my headphones.
Suddenly, I was pushed the shoulder, it should be someone who couldn't bear to end the game early, I couldn't see who that person was, so I had to take off my headphones and ask, "Who?" ”
"Yes...... It's me ......" was Lin Hui's voice, mixed with heavy gasps, sounding quite nervous, I couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Hui swallowed heavily and said, "This ...... This game is a ...... Is it over? His voice was a little fluttering, it seemed that he was frightened by the story just now, I didn't expect this usually timid kid to be timid, I couldn't help but want to tease him a few words, said: "Of course not, this is not a complete story at all, I guess there should be content later, you sit back." ”
Seeing that Lin Hui didn't make a sound, I continued: "What? You're scared, aren't you? There's also a beautiful girl you brought. ”
"I ...... How could I be scared, just ask! "Lin Hui is a person with a very good face, naturally he refuses to admit that he is timid, I secretly laughed, ignored him, and put on the headphones again, how the story will develop after that is what makes me the most curious.
However, there was still a dead silence in the headphones, which couldn't help but make me wonder if it was the end of the game or another story, it shouldn't make tourists wait so long, not to mention that there was a queue outside the door, right...... I shook my head vigorously to keep myself from thinking about the strange things, it was just a game, no matter how weird it was.
There seemed to be movement around me, and I took off my headphones again, and the darkness was filled with the sound of jumbled conversation.
"Can anyone tell me that this game is over?"
"I don't know, if it's over, why don't any staff come in?"
"But there's no sound in the headphones anymore!"
"Hey, is there anyone out there?!"
"I ...... I was a little scared, but I still listened to the story just now......"
"I always feel that the atmosphere is a little weird, nothing will happen, right?"
In the room, the voice became louder and louder, and everyone's emotions became more and more excited, and finally someone couldn't help but shout loudly outside, and some people slapped the table hard to try to attract the attention of the outside, but it was all in vain, and there was no response from the outside at all.
Now, even the air around me has become weird, I can hear the girl's sobs, very soft, and the others must have sensed that something was wrong, something must have happened here! Suddenly, a frightened voice burst out of the darkness coldly, "We...... We're not going to die here, are we? Just like the man who was avenged by the murderer in the story just now! Or maybe it's more than just a story! ”
I didn't expect this ridiculous sentence to explode like a bomb at this particular time and on a specific occasion, and in the darkness I heard the sound of messy footsteps, the sound of someone crashing into the table and chair and falling to the ground, and the cries of the girls became even more piercing, and I knew that this small room was in chaos just by imagination.
This is the horror of darkness, not a sharp blade that seals the throat when it sees blood, but it can pierce people's hearts.
My body was hit hard by someone for some reason, and then Lin Hui's voice came, "Luo Jun, is it...... Is that you? Hearing my gracious voice, he was so nervous that he said incoherently, "We won't ...... Won't really...... What now? How do you escape...... Oh my God, something must have happened...... I...... I can feel ......."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang" in front of me, and a bright light shot in violently, piercing me so hard that I couldn't open my eyes. In a trance, I seemed to see many dark shadows rushing in from the light, but I did not have the slightest joy of being rescued, for I clearly heard the terrifying sound of metal pulling the bolt in the midst of the chaotic sound!
