Chapter 221: The First Exploration
Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaw-squea
With a screeching grinding sound, the door slowly opened.
In the next second, what appeared in front of the cub was a cold living room stacked with cages and a lot of sundries.
On the floor, there is a wide crimson carpet.
Beneath the walls, however, are two rusted cages covered with rags.
It seems that something was once held inside, so that several equally rusty metal chains were discarded everywhere and left unattended.
The whole living room is large, and the only light source is a standing table lamp placed in the corner, which exudes a slight brightness.
At this point, the doctor who was in charge of the cub spoke.
[Gotta refuel the generator, there's a broken tractor in the east, maybe there's some oil in it.] ]
As soon as the words fell, as if to confirm the problem of insufficient oil, the standing table lamp in the corner of the living room flickered twice, bringing a touch of depression to the surrounding dead environment.
However, the cub didn't pay any attention.
Because now he has been shocked by the scene in front of him.
"I'm super!"
"Brothers! Cow! Awesome! ”
"It's really immersive! I've really entered the world of the Dark Forest! ”
Excited, the cub always pressed down the remote sensing and began to look around in the messy living room like a curious baby.
"Made! I played the original version of "The Dark Forest" for two weeks, and I can't be more familiar with the doctor's house in this prologue! ”
"Imagine a very familiar game that suddenly changes you from a god-down perspective to a first-person perspective like this, and everything else remains the same, that freshness, and that slightly strange feeling, I can't go into details!"
The cub always picks up an iron chain from the ground, and the brass rust on it is clearly visible from the VR perspective.
And under the light of the corner table lamp, the texture is highlighted, and it is extremely fine!
Even the sound of metal colliding is very real!
Once again, the cub was struck by the unique feature of the game, which was the freedom to take anything.
Immediately blurted out.
"His grandmother's, the features are not lost, the features of the VR game are not..."
[This chain... Can't tie him...]
...
Mr. Cub: ...?
The doctor's sudden words interrupted the cub and made him stunned on the spot.
In VR, he looked down at the rusty chain in his hand, and then at the cage that was close to Chi Qi, his face full of confusion.
He's played the original game, cleared it twice, and watched the strategy video.
Know all the details and plot of the game.
However, now in the VR version, he has some doubts.
Because...
Is this line in the original game...?
The cub tried to recall it, and found that there was no such line in his memory.
That...
In that case...
This is the first point of difference between the VR version and the original?
The cub sensed and threw down the chain.
In my mind, I once again recalled the doctor's lines just now.
‘... Can't tie him down...'
This 'he'... Could it be that it means...
The cub turned his head slightly and looked at a room near the cage.
The door is closed.
Above, there is also a combination lock.
From the perspective of VR, he could clearly spot a pool of blood splattered underneath the room, which had long since dried up.
It seems that unimaginable bloody events have happened before ...
But...
Cubs who have played the original always know that in this locked room, there is actually an NPC named 'Mr. Joon'.
Mr. Joon has a younger sister named 'Ms. Qiao'.
Because of the forest mutation, Ms. Qiao's body became bloated, her limbs became slender, and she couldn't move in bed all day long, losing her ability to live.
The doctor tried treatment, but it didn't work, and he fled the village to save his life.
So Mr. Joon left the village, found the doctor's house in the forest, and settled accounts with him.
And then...
Mr. Joon was locked up by the doctor.
The blood splattered on the ground also shows the violence between Mr. Joon and the doctor at that time.
Still, the cub always knows.
After switching to the real protagonist in the prologue, it's time to fight this Joon-sir...
In other words, the boss of the prologue is Mr. Joon...
The cub sensed and walked forward, coming to the door of the combination lock.
Reach out, push.
Suddenly, the doctor spoke again.
[It's better not to open the door...] It cost me a lot to keep it inside...]
[It's not... I tried... Tried...]
Two lines made the cub stunned again.
The first line is from the original game.
But in the second line, the cub can always use his cousin Huanhuan as a bet, which was absolutely not available before!
This is another new line, and it is closely related to the plot!
Only those who have played the original will know what the doctor means when he says 'tried'.
That's how he used to heal the villagers!
It's just that human power can't resist supernatural forces, so they flee in embarrassment.
Moreover, even if you haven't played the original version, it's okay, many games are full of such seemingly inconsistent lines.
Players are also used to it, they don't think about it, they just play and it's over.
"Brothers... It's a new line... I knew that the VR version definitely had a lot of new things compared to the original, but I didn't expect the prologue to start. ”
"Well, forgive me for being short-sighted. I thought the prologue would be copied from the original as it was, and at most the details would be changed. ”
"I didn't expect the difference between the two versions of the game to start with the prologue lines, and I don't know where the difference from the original version is."
"Go, brothers, I'll take you to explore the house first, and then go out to find Allah's corner!"
"It's just a pity that there is no Desert Eagle, and we won't be able to get such a weapon until tomorrow when it's officially released."
After the cub finished speaking, he began to manipulate the doctor to explore the house.
Since it was prologue, and it was the doctor's own room, he knew that it was a 'safe period' and there would be no danger.
And the house can be explored twice.
The first time I explored as a Medic, the box with the weapon could not be opened, and the door containing the secret could not be opened.
The second time I explored the horn of Allah, the doors and boxes that could not be opened were opened, and then I got the items inside.
Because of his curiosity about the scene environment of the VR version of "Dark Forest", Mr. Cub made him rummage through the cabinets in the house, but he found a lot of good things.
But he understands that after the protagonist is switched, these looted 'materials' will be returned to their original places and used by Allah's horn.
】
Now it's just a matter of familiarizing players with looting supplies.
Moreover, the main purpose of the game is to allow the player to control the doctor to explore the house first, so that the player can find some documents about the doctor himself.
For example, a document called 'Medical Notes'.
When the cub was found in the bookcase, an open page of a book appeared on the entire screen.
It was full of so-called doctors' 'special handwriting' that he couldn't understand.
Then, there are some uncomfortable case photos.
Apparently it was also taken by the doctor himself.
On the left side of the book, there are two black-and-white photographs of two foreign women with different appearances.
The woman in the first photograph has ulcerated cheeks, and a few small peculiar mushrooms have grown out of the flesh and blood, covering the entire face.
The woman in the second photo is even worse, her eyes have been replaced by two large mushrooms, and her nostrils have grown unknown plant tentacles, which cling to her skin and twist.
Because the picture was so beautiful, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately felt uncomfortable and complained one after another.
"Made, it's disgusting, can this still be called a face?"
"Stop! These two pictures are sending me away! ”
"Mr. Cub, what did I do to make you treat me like this, can't I change it!?"
"The whole face is rotten, and there are dense small mushrooms growing in the meat, it's so disgusting..."
"My god, my eyes have been replaced by mushrooms, can I still walk? No, is this still human? ”
"Suddenly it feels like it's still better than the original... At least not that intuitive..."
Mr. Cub glanced at the barrage, quickly closed the medical notes, and then coughed lightly.
"Ah, I'm sorry, brothers, I didn't expect the VR version to have such detailed case pictures, next time I will pay attention to it, it won't make everyone uncomfortable."
"Okay brothers, there is nothing to explore in the house, anyway, it will be considered a real exploration after the protagonist will be changed, then we will go out and find Allah now!"
After saying that, the cub always controlled the doctor to the door.
Reach out and give it a gentle push.
With a melodious creak, the door opened.
The next second, a whimper sounded from outside the house.
