Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Just Beginning
Just when all the viewers were puzzled by the letters at the end of the film, the fifth and final reincarnation finally began.
This time, when the protagonist gets up, he doesn't leave his room.
Even after listening to what his grandfather said, he did not leave his room, but sat on the bed and looked at the wall silently.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the bedroom door was opened again, and Grandpa appeared at the door.
"Baby, grandpa bought you a cake, let's eat it together."
Nodding slightly, the hero walked out of the bedroom, came to the living room, and sat down on a chair.
Cheap cakes were placed on the table, and the five-dollar cake was brightly colored and topped with eight candles.
Blowing out the candle, the protagonist picks up a plastic spoon and eats the cake little by little.
The cheap cake is eaten by the protagonist with the general feeling of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it also makes the terrifying atmosphere gradually fade away and become warm.
Opposite him, the grandfather looked at the hero with a smile and said with a smile: "Baby, it's delicious, grandpa bought it for you." On next year's birthday, we'll eat together again. ”
The protagonist nods, then pushes the rest of the cake to Grandpa.
"Grandpa doesn't eat it."
The protagonist shook his head vigorously.
"Okay, grandpa, just take a bite."
In the shot of grandparents and grandchildren, you take a bite and I take a bite, the real ending, grandpa, achieved.
When the words "True Ending" appears, the game screen goes black again.
By the time the screen lit up again, the camera had already come to the door.
From the change in the height of the field of vision, as well as the proportion of the surrounding objects, it can be judged that the protagonist is already an adult at this time.
He walked up the stairs to the fifth floor, then took out the key, opened the door to the house, and walked in step by step.
The furnishings in the room were still the same as before, the only difference was that the door to Grandpa's bedroom, which had been locked before, was now open.
Walking into Grandpa's bedroom, you can see the weird decorations from before, which are now all gone.
The room was unusually clean, and the portrait of the little boy was gone, but a closer look could still reveal the traces left by the burning candle.
Rummaging through the cabinet in the room, the protagonist pulls a book out of it.
The book is a very traditional thread-bound book, and it can be seen that it has been read many times.
The pages have yellowed a little, but the handwriting inside is still legible.
And when the protagonist began to flip through the book called "The Law of Deception to Death", all the questions were finally answered at this moment.
"The Law of Deception to Death", one of the folk customs, originated in the Han Dynasty, and now occasionally appears in Southeast Asia and other places.
When someone in the family suddenly falls ill or encounters an accident, a room can be set aside to create a portrait of the target and offer sacrifices, so as to deceive the impermanence of black and white and make them think that the target is dead.
During this time, the subject is not allowed to talk casually, eat indiscriminately, look in the mirror, and are absolutely not allowed to enter the room.
In addition, there are a large number of taboos, and only by abiding by them can you completely eliminate the breath of your own living and achieve the goal of cheating death.
Connecting the various endings they saw before, the audience suddenly realized.
"I see! No wonder grandpa said that he couldn't enter the room casually, and told so many taboos, the root cause was "The Law of Cheating to Death". ”
"So what's going on with that big sister upstairs? Why does she give the protagonist medicine? ”
"It can be seen from ending 4 that the big sister should be the nurse sister. I fainted after drinking a drink.,Maybe it refers to the hero being anesthetized before the operation.。 ”
"That's right.,As you can see from the front.,The hero should be frail and admitted to the hospital.,After waiting for surgery.。 In order to get the hero back alive,Grandpa used the trick of death.。 ”
"Indeed, this also corresponds to the statement of ending 4, everything is actually the imagination or dream of the protagonist."
"Isn't this a feudal superstition, though?"
"It's not the same, the method of cheating death is one of the folk customs, and there is still a certain difference between folk customs and feudal superstition. Although it may sound nonsense, when used, it can invisibly strengthen the confidence of the caster. And this confidence can be manifested and finally passed on to the target, producing a placebo effect. Don't underestimate placebos, sometimes they can really cure diseases. ”
"Oh, I see, teachable. Using the method of cheating death to lead to a horror story, this game is quite carefully done. ”
"But it's just terrifying!"
While the audience was discussing, they were surprised to find that there was a second part of the video.
Opening video two, they froze.
Because when the protagonist takes the book, the whole game is not over!
Or rather, it's just getting started!
Sandwiched by the thread-bound book, the protagonist has come to the outside of the unit building, to the bustling crowd.
Everything around seems to be peaceful, but the eerie atmosphere is paved, and the richness is breathless.
An old man put the boiled medicine residue into a cloth bag, pressed it against a tree branch, and sandwiched a piece of paper full of words between the medicine residue and the branch.
Someone on the side of the road put raw rice in a bowl and kept knocking it on the bowl with chopsticks.
In the window, the paper figures have no eyes, but they can feel each other's gaze, which is full of curiosity and playfulness.
Each unusual place, which seems to have its own logic and deep meaning, has its own story.
The "Cheating Death Law" is over.
But this strange world has just begun.
At this point, the audience suddenly realized.
I thought it was a climax, but I didn't expect it to be a beginning, and the real story has just begun.
Living immortals, there are really you!
With this hand alone, it's really not too much to call you an immortal.
At the end of the video, Up's mother Pingping used an AI voice to play her own care.
"Thank you for seeing now, I'm the newcomer up master Pingping, and this number is used by me and my mother. Thank you for your comments, thank you. If you can, please follow me and give me a one-click triple, it's really important.
"Spreading Traditional Culture Starts with Me" is my favorite game lately, and I love the unique, dream-like atmosphere in it. I was really happy to know that Trick to Death was just an opening to the game. I don't really understand why people think it's scary, but I feel like it's warm and comfortable.
If you guys like it, I'll go ahead and record a video of this game. Since I can't go out to work, I occasionally carry out the goods in the video. I hope you don't dislike me because of this, thank you. ”
Because he was the first up master to pass the opening plot, the number of followers of the account "Pingping's Mother" began to increase, and finally reached tens of thousands.
Encouraged by this video, a large number of up masters began to try to clear the customs with it, and successfully passed the opening plot, but they were stuck in the follow-up plot.
No way, the plot is even more terrifying.
But the strange thing is that no matter how terrifying the plot is, it seems to be no problem for Pingping.
She played the game with ease, and the so-called psychological horror did not affect her at all, not even her hands trembled.
Not only her, but many newcomer accounts have also begun to upload strategy videos of other stories.
Their style is very uniform, they don't talk while playing, they just silently show every possibility of the story, but they also bring a different viewing experience.
Because the game's world is big enough, they can make a moderately long video at any entry point they choose, and even quickly form a related mini-climax.
But on Saturday night, Pingping's mother had just uploaded a clearance video of a new story, and before fans could rush to watch it, the video disappeared immediately.
Not only her, but all the videos related to this game were taken off the shelves, and not a single one was left.
A ban on the game and the corresponding video began quietly.
