Chapter 11: I'm the Rule of Weird Talk
Through the horrors displayed in the mobile phone group chat video, the approaching weirdness and despair, Gao Fate roughly determined which game became a reality.
Zhao Xi, who lives in 2507, has completely different personalities from the middle-aged male protagonist in "The Only Family", one is honest and diligent, the other is gloomy and lazy, but the environment they live in is almost the same.
It seems that they have relatives and families, but after actually closing the door, only they know how bad that home is.
"Except for Zhao Xi's body, I didn't meet any neighbors, I just heard all kinds of voices. The picture shown in the mobile phone video is likely to be the imagination of the owner of the mobile phone himself, and the neighbors who were killed were all people who usually looked down on Zhao Xi. "Gao Ming once knew some things about Building No. 2 from the aunt of the neighborhood committee.
Wang Zhengsheng on the first floor is a small boss who temporarily rents an apartment in Lijing to avoid debts; Xiaoqiu on the second floor has no job, and the rumors about Zhao Xi and her brother and daughter-in-law seem to have come from her: Fang Shuqi on the third floor is a technician in the port area, and Zhao Xi's disabled leg seems to be to save him.
It is difficult for scattered negative emotions to crush a person, but when the pressure from all sides converges and there is no way to avoid it, the self-will may be completely overwhelmed by negative emotions, which eventually leads Zhao Xi to the night sky.
""The Only Family" has three endings, and if you want to trigger a good ending, you must let Zhao Xi destroy his mobile phone with his own hands."
The mobile phone will play those terrifying videos because Zhao Xi wants to see that kind of picture, and Gao Ming decided to face his fear and get rid of the influence of the deceased's mobile phone first.
"I may not be enough on my own." Gao Ming stepped on the window glass fragments on the ground and stopped at the door of room 2707: "If Mr. Yao is not in the house, the scene in room 2707 is different from the one in the group video, it means that Mr. Yao is a ghost made up by his mobile phone, my previous guess is fine; If Mr. Yao is in the room, there are two possibilities, my guess is wrong, or Mr. Yao is also a living person who entered the game. ”
Knocking on the door of room 2707, Gao Ming didn't wait for Mr. Yao to open the door, but the security door of 2706 next to him slowly opened a gap.
The sound of the door panel rubbing made Gao Ming immediately protect his body and prepare to leave at any time.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." A terrifying and familiar disfigured face appeared behind Door 2706, and the investigator beckoned to Gao Ming: "Don't stay in the hallway, come inside!" ”
In this strange environment, how could Gao Ming believe the investigator who suddenly appeared, he was extremely cautious.
"I know you're scared, scared, and helpless! But only I can help you! The investigator was also anxious: "We have been involved in an anomalous incident, and I rushed to Hanhai from Xinhu to investigate a similar incident!" I know you have a lot of doubts, but the hallways are really dangerous, and if you're not careful, you'll die! ”
The investigator didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and he dragged Gao Ming into the house, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the door was closed.
Glancing at 2706, Gao Ming slowly grabbed a chair leg: "Why are you here?" ”
"I told you to move out a long time ago, but you didn't listen, and now you regret it, right?" The investigator wiped the sweat from his forehead: "After 2507 left, I went upstairs to talk to the tenants here, and after that, an anomalous event suddenly happened, and I was unfortunately caught up in it. ”
He pointed to the black ring on his wrist with a red light: "After being involved in an anomalous event, communication will be distorted and interrupted, and we will not be able to communicate with the outside world, as if we have entered another world. ”
"Communication will be completely interrupted?" After thinking about it carefully, Gao Ming's face suddenly became extremely bad.
He clearly remembers that he received a call from his mother in the last game!
If what the investigator said is true, then all the calls he received in the last game were actually "ghosts"!
Gao Ming's heart was a little panicked, his parents lived in Xinhu, and I don't know if the old couple was affected.
"It's really hard for ordinary people to accept these things." Seeing that Gao Ming reacted so violently, the investigator whispered a word of comfort: "It's normal to be afraid, but we still have hope of leaving alive." ”
Gao Ming didn't bother to explain to the investigator, and asked casually, "What exactly does the abnormal event you mean by that?" ”
"Weird, mysterious, weird, all kinds of inexplicable things and phenomena suddenly appeared in Xinhu half a year ago, and then suddenly disappeared." The investigator decided to share the information with Takamei.
"Half a year ago?" Takamei was surprised.
"In order to avoid causing panic, the news was blocked, and later in order to investigate this sudden and strange event, the Joint Investigation Bureau of Abnormal Disasters was established." Touching the black ring on his wrist, the disfigured investigator disclosed his identity information in front of Gao Ming: "The Joint Investigation Bureau of Abnormal Disasters is composed of three parts, investigation, narration, and security, and the meaning of our existence is to figure out the cause of the disaster." ”
"Did you find anything then?" Gao Ming still remembered Li Lin's attitude towards the investigators, and the lowest-ranking investigators in the Investigation Bureau seemed to have great power.
"All anomalous events follow a certain trajectory, occur within a certain range, and other than that, nothing else is unknown." The investigator struggled to squeeze out a sinister smile, presumably trying to encourage Takamei: "The probability of ordinary people being involved in an anomalous event is very low, and this kind of experience of seeing the truth is not very common. ”
"You're pretty good at comforting." Gao Ming digested all the information, and the tunnel he passed through on the night of the Midyear Festival happened to be at the junction of the three cities, and he guessed if it was something from Xinhu that entered his body.
"The anomaly has happened, then don't complain, face it with all your might, as long as you are cautious, we will be able to leave alive until dawn." The investigator stroked the black ring, so that Gao Ming could see the text displayed on the black ring: "Many investigators in Xinhu have exchanged their lives for some information, which can help you live, please be sure to remember and abide by every rule." ”
"When you are involved in an abnormal event that occurs in an apartment building, if you want to save yourself, you should pay attention to the following points."
"First, find all the residents as soon as possible and negotiate the contact code, because after the abnormal event starts for a period of time, the residents in the building may be replaced."
"Second, don't trust the clock you see, the time is inaccurate."
"Third, after midnight, don't open the door under any circumstances, unless something that doesn't belong to you shows up in your house."
"Fourth, don't turn on the lights suddenly, and fifth, don't listen to any audio ......"
"Is it possible to do nothing and live until dawn?" It is possible to follow the rules without making mistakes, but what Takamei wants is to solve the problem at the root: "According to the rules, can we avoid all misfortunes by going back to sleep?" ”
The investigator slid the black ring, and after a while, shook his head very seriously: "Article 11 is written, you can't sleep, you must always stay awake." ”
"Thank you for giving me so many precautions, but I still have things to do." Gao Ming used Zhao Xi's mobile phone to send a message to Teacher Yao in 2707, and he needed to find Teacher Yao to determine something.
"All the information you see now is the bloody price paid by the investigators, you can doubt their accuracy, but don't gamble with your own life!"
"Rules are dead, people are alive......" Gao Ming opened the door of room 2706, looking at the corridor engulfed by shadows, he still had half a sentence in his heart.
As a game designer, in a way, he's the rule of weirdness.
