Chapter 0519 – Killing in the Darkness
”Living in a homicidal maniac’s house?” Fan Cong and Fan Daode looked at Chen Ge in unison.
”The most dangerous place is the safest place.” Chen Ge frantically clicked on the raincoat man’s corpse, and a dialog box popped up at the bottom of the screen as the mouse moved to the raincoat man’s top pocket – you lifted the dead man’s coat, and found a room card in the blood-soaked pocket.
”It’s really possible to rummage around and find something!” Fan Cong came up to the screen with a curious expression.
Putting the room card into his backpack, Chen Ge clicked on it for a long time until the sound of heads hitting the door in the background became louder, and then he walked towards the stairs with great regret: “Still no knives or murder weapon, so I guess it’s hard to get another chance like this in the future.” ”
Chen Ge clicked on his backpack to view the room card, the plain black card was stained with blood, and a number four was written on the back, “Fan Cong, how many inns and hotels are there in this town?”
”There’s only one, it’s the small inn I told you about before, the owner is a homicidal maniac, the cook is a psychopath, and the tenants were all killed.”
”Is the hotel far from the neighborhood?”
”Not far, it’s just a block away, but are you sure you want to go there?” Fan Cong didn’t quite understand Chen Ge’s thinking, “Didn’t we just get rid of the homicidal maniac in the neighborhood? Now we just need to stay in the neighborhood to get through the night peacefully.”
Seeing that Chen Ge was still hesitating, he reached out and grabbed Chen Ge’s shoulder, “You’re not preparing …… to rely on this little girl to take out a hotel full of people, are you?”
”How are we going to fuck with people without even a fruit knife?” Chen Ge maneuvered Boo toward the stairs, the strange thing is that the “thud” sound in the background music, did not weaken because of the distance, the sound is getting louder and louder.
”Then why are you leaving?”
”Pay attention to the background music, that thud sound is made by the neighbor’s ghost, now that the sound has become urgent, it means that the neighbor’s ghost may storm out early after we lured the homicidal maniac into the neighbor’s house.” Chen Ge maneuvered Boo to the first floor and looked at the dark street, “Why would you die inexplicably when you walk on the street at night? When you played before, were there any signs before each death?”
”There were no signs, just suddenly died, there seems to be invisible killers on the streets.”
”Invisible killers?” Chen Ge shook his head, “Many of the scenes in this game should be adapted from things that happen in reality, it’s impossible for something too outrageous to appear.”
”Big brother, the entire town is filled with homicidal maniacs and ghosts, isn’t that outrageous enough?”
”All of this is still acceptable, at least it doesn’t go against the game maker’s own settings.” Chen Ge maneuvered Little Boo to stop running back and forth between the first floor and the corner of the second floor.
Fan Cong really couldn’t figure out what Chen Ge was doing, and after holding back for a long time, he still asked, “Boss Chen, what are you doing again?”
”The situation is not good.” Chen Ge stared at the screen with both eyes and casually said, “The way a game operates usually determines the way it scares the player, have you noticed that as the survival time increases, Boo’s movement speed becomes faster?”
”That’s a good thing.” Fan Cong looked at Boo, who was running back and forth in the hallway, and felt that she did become a little faster.
”The game makers won’t be that kind, this is a game of despair that can’t be resisted, the fact that Boo’s speed has increased means that we’ll encounter something faster and more terrifying later on.” Chen Ge rested his chin on one hand, “If my guess is good, by the time we get to the latter part of the night, we won’t just be running from homicidal maniacs.”
Chen Ge’s words made Fan Cong feel cold: “Homicidal maniacs, ghosts, traps, and a death mechanism that would somehow be triggered, the game makers didn’t even think about letting the player pass the level.”
”You shouldn’t play this game as a game, carefully think about why the game maker made this game, only by figuring out what the maker wanted to express and following his thoughts can you find out the answer.” Chen Ge had been thinking about what the game maker wanted to express, Fan Cong was playing the game while he was experiencing the emotions of the game maker.
Any game would contain an emotion, including resentment, anger, sadness, and so on, but what surprised him was that this game didn’t reveal any emotions despite its overwhelming despair; Boo was like an emotionless robot, she wasn’t afraid, she wasn’t in pain, and she didn’t have any worries about her family, she was always cold-eyed.
”Boo is an interesting protagonist, after seeing her stepfather’s corpse, she even entertains the idea of making him into a rag doll, this is by no means a normal child, but how did she become like this? And what happened to her? Is everything I’m experiencing now what Boo has experienced?”
Chen Ge was lost in thought when Fan Cong’s words pulled him back to reality, “Then what do we do next?”
”Our primary objective is to survive the night, the building is safe for now, so we’ll stay here for now. When the ghosts from the neighbor’s house come out, we’ll go to the hotel.” Chen Ge was thinking very clearly, “Right now, my only worry is accidentally triggering the death mechanism when crossing that street and somehow dying.”
”Is that really what you have in mind? Why do I get the feeling that you’re deliberately waiting for the neighbor’s ghost? Trying to use your body as bait to lure it to the hotel.” Fan Cong whispered.
”It’s not so much seducing as luring.” Chen Ge manipulated Boo to run back and forth in the building, he was already completely familiar with Boo’s speed and running style, “This is a free exploration game, we can’t just stay in there for one night, after we lure away the ghost from the neighbor’s house, the district will be completely safe, and we can feel free to come back and live here in the future.”
In the background music, the “thud” sound was getting louder and louder, Chen Ge placed the mouse in a comfortable position, “She should be coming over.”
Before the words fell, in the middle of the screen, a woman carrying her own head appeared in the corner of the second floor, her coat dyed red with blood.
”Red clothes?” Chen Ge maneuvered Boo to run wildly towards the outside of the building, not forgetting to adjust the angle to observe the female ghost carrying a human head, “Counting the red raincoat, this should be the second Red Clothes in the town.”
The female ghost carrying a human head in the game was very fast, and Chen Ge got serious, maneuvering Boo to frantically flee.
After only a few seconds, Chen Ge had already maneuvered Xiao Bu to run out of the neighborhood.
There were no streetlights on the street, it was pitch black, Chen Ge’s pupils narrowed, he used his Yin pupils before he could barely find his way between dark and darker.
He maneuvered Boo to run in the direction of the hotel, and when he passed a certain window, the window suddenly opened and a hand reached out, trying to grab Boo inside.
It was also fortunate that Chen Ge possessed Yin pupils and his eyesight was far beyond normal people, he changed his direction the first time he saw the hand reaching out and narrowly dodged it.
”The killing chance is hidden in the middle of the darkness!”
Chen Ge had a drop of sweat running down his forehead, while Fan Da De and Fan Cong next to him looked at the almost black screen, completely unable to understand why the man in front of them was frantically shaking his mouse and keyboard.
