"Sister Qiu, please, don't go, don't go!" Tu Lizhu pleaded in a low voice.

But obviously, girls with an appearance (APP) of 65 are still more popular than men. Sister Qiu waved her hand to everyone with her stiff arm, and everyone consciously made way for Sister Qiu, and some even applauded.

Hideki Yoshikawa's female fans are rare, and his game is too difficult.

"Thank you, everyone......" Sister Qiu greeted people with an extremely professional smile as she walked towards the fourth princess who had been adjusted by the staff, "Thank you Yoshikawa-kun and Chen Jun for giving me this opportunity......

Sister Qiu's voice was very good, so the crowd coaxed even harder.

What am I doing! Sister Qiu can't wait to punch herself in the head, they are a group of NPCs who have no feelings, they are not your fans!

But when she came back to her senses, Sister Qiu was already holding the handle and staring at the big screen.

"Sister Qiu......" Xiao Tu in the audience lost his soul.

"The story takes place in an alternate city, and Eti ......" Hideki Yoshikawa lowered his voice to introduce the plot, "The protagonist Camilla is the princess of the kingdom......"

"The old thief Yoshikawa, who pretends to be a hero, will actually take the initiative to introduce the plot?"

"It's over, it's over, and the old thief will have a day of sexual transformation."

"I'm afraid I didn't see a fake Hideki Yoshikawa."

"He must not have written the script."

Hideki Yoshikawa smiled slightly.

"It is true that the original play was not written by me," he said casually, "and the real author was an unknown French playwright, published in 1890, but was banned the following year, and only a few fragments of the English translation survived." Through these fragments, I tried my best to restore the original work and express it in the form of a game. ”

Fans burst into exclamations.

"It turns out that the old thief Yoshikawa is also so educated."

"You know that you are much more literate than you......"

"Ahem!" Hideki Yoshikawa coughed, interrupting the chatter of the fans and continuing to introduce the plot, "Itti is located on the shore of the lake. The queen of Itti, Cassiluda, is paranoid, and always feels that on the other side of the lake, there is an invisible city. On this day, her daughter, Princess Camilla, went to visit her......"

He motioned for Sister Qiu to start.

……

The game begins.

The picture presents a bird's-eye view of a lakeside palace before moving on to a room inside the palace. This room is lacking decoration and is dilapidated and old. Queen Cassirida, dressed in a long dress and wearing a silver crown, stood in front of the window.

[Queen Cassiluda meditates in her room; Mourn her blank past.

Darkness grows in people's hearts, like the shadow of the sun stretches on the surface of a lake.

In the depths of Xu Ades, the double sun slowly falls into the Ping Lake;

The lost Kalksa stands in the mist, casting the form of a towering tower in the abyss. 】

The perspective shifts, giving a close-up of the sky outside the window: the sky is pink, with two suns hanging.

No one spoke. Hideki Yoshikawa frowned, he thought that this scene would be full of applause......

Except for Chen Qiang and Sayoko, who were always facing away from the big screen, everyone at the scene was watching this cutscene intently, as if they were fascinated.

At this point, the camera returns to the room. Camila, dressed in a smart short outfit — who looks exactly like Sayoko in the real world — appears in the frame, holding two dresses.

"Mother, do you prefer pink or green?" Camila's voice rang out.

"I'm going to die," said Cassiluda, "and whenever I look at the lake at dusk, I can see Kalksa far away. ”

"No kidding," Camilla said angrily, "I'm asking seriously, but you're talking about a city that doesn't exist. If the Lost City was really on the other side of the lake, shouldn't anyone have noticed it? ”

"Sorry, dear...... I've been reading some old stories lately. They make my brain weird. Cassiruda said.

"Mother...... So please answer me. What do you want to wear to tomorrow's celebration? Cammy's tone relaxed a bit, "Pink or green?" ”

"Green." Cassiluda was absent-minded.

"You're going to get out of these houses and go outside." Camila said, grimacing, leaving her skirt in her mother's room, and leaving.

"I should find a way to keep my mother away from those illusions." Camila muttered to herself.

Suddenly, a hooded figure passed through a corridor in the distance; Camila pressed against the wall, and the figure didn't notice her.

[That's Uncle Adonis!] The subtitles are typed to show that this is Camilla's mental activity, [What is he sneaking around, what is he going to do?] He has always coveted his mother's throne, and he believes that his grandfather passed the throne to his mother because of his grandfather's preference for girls. I'll have to keep up with him. 】

The scene moves with Camilla's gaze and falls on the sleeping guards. Camila crept over and picked up his sword and shield.

"Can a man be a guard these days? This weapon is crude; But something is better than nothing. ”

Camila followed down the long hallway.

Tu Lizhu was in a trance - she suddenly found that it was Sister Qiu who was manipulating Camilla now. There was silence all around, as if no one was aware that the CG of the game's cutscenes had entered the player's actions.

Sister Qiu was expressionless with the gamepad.

[Played Camilla in the near-perfect prologue of "The King in Yellow"]

【SC1D6/1D20】

[Alice Autumn Reason Test 69/35 Failed]

【1D20=17】

[18 points of sanity remaining]

Tu Lizhu pulled her phone out of her pocket - even if the in-game footage couldn't be synced to her real-life phone, she wanted to do it.

But her phone won't light up anymore.

[Communication was found to be cut off, and all portable electronic devices could no longer be used, SC0/1]

[Christina Tu sanity test 59/69 success]

The rest of the rationality told Tu Lizhu that she couldn't stay here anymore. This game is spooky from beginning to end.

[Chen Qiang and Christina Tu will determine the will attribute. 】

[Once you fail once, you will be judged again after 5 minutes until you succeed]

[Chen Qiang's will attribute test 7/80 success]

[Christina Tu's Will Attribute Test Failed 86/70]

Tu Lizhu remained in place. She watched Sister Qiu play this game, as if this game had endless magic.

In the picture, the battle of the first teaching level has already broken out. In the courtyard of the palace, Camilla, cloaked, encounters a drunken guard, who mistakes Camilla for a thief who has infiltrated the palace, and the two of them start fighting.

The guard was extremely large, almost twice the size of Camilla, wielding a machete. But Camilla, who is controlled by Sister Qiu, is more agile - she keeps rolling on the ground, causing the guard's attacks to miss repeatedly.

"It's time to get away for a while." Easily break free from the magic of "The King in Yellow", Chen Qiang said in his heart.
