Chapter 0521 – The Only Good Guy?
There were only a few seconds between seeing the options and making a choice, and Chen Ge showed amazing calmness.
While Fan Cong finally figured it out and started to feel fearful afterward, Chen Ge had already maneuvered Boo to the outside of room number one’s door.
He clicked on the door of the room with his mouse, and a sentence popped up at the bottom of the screen – Your room card can’t open this door, and as you lay on the door panel, you heard sighs coming from the room.
According to Fan Cong’s description, the innkeeper’s father will die in the middle of room one soon, the old man probably knows that his child is a psychopathic murderer, and he is aware that his days are numbered.
Room 1 could not be opened, Chen Ge did not stay too long, and directly rushed to room 2, where a woman dressed in skimpy clothes, suspected of working in a special job, was staying.
Mouse clicked on the door of room two, this time no dialog box popped up, the door of the room was not closed tightly, it was directly opened.
”Does this woman sleep at night without locking the door?”
Entering room number two, Chen Ge saw that in the corner of the room, there was a woman wearing only underwear squatting in front of a large box, seemingly picking out clothes.
”Boss Chen, be careful, when I entered room number two before, there wasn’t that big box inside the room.” Fan Cong voiced a reminder, and Chen Ge also stopped his steps, it was likely that the travelers residing in this hotel were all homicidal maniacs as well.
Chen Ge tried clicking on the woman with his mouse, and a new option popped up on the screen – This sexy, beautiful looking lady is picking out clothes for herself, do you want to tell her about the murder that just happened?
One: Tell her it’s very dangerous in the hotel and to be more careful.
Two: Pick up the lamp on the table and smash it into the back of her head.
Three: ignore her and go back to her room to sleep.
Looking at the three options, Chen Ge fell into deep thought: ”People with good intentions will choose the first option, but venturing close to the other party will probably lead to accidents, this woman I can’t trust for the time being; people with evil intentions will probably choose the second option, but analyzing it rationally, with Boo’s strength, plus the weight of the table lamp, no matter which one puts down his hand, there’s no way to stun or kill the woman smashed unconscious or smashed to death, this option is very insincere, it would be more or less the same if knives were provided.”
Chen Ge’s analysis caused Fan Cong next to him to break out in a cold sweat, quietly placing the fruit knife on the computer desk farther away.
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ge chose the third option, and as he made his choice, the woman squatting in the corner glanced back towards the door of the room.
There was no human skin on her face, and she was holding a small knife in her hand, while that large box revealed half of her slender white arm.
”Is this a change of clothes, or a change of face?” Chen Ge hurriedly maneuvered Boo out of the woman’s room and helped her close the door in the process, “The innkeeper is a homicidal maniac, the tenants are either crazy or perverted, am I the only sane person in the entire town?”
”Boss Chen, why don’t we leave the inn, I feel like this place is much more dangerous than the neighborhood.”
”There’s a female ghost outside the door, where to run?” Chen Ge maneuvered Boo to walk outside room three again, “That high school student can’t be a homicidal maniac as well, right?”
He was worried that the woman in room two would run out in a moment, and decisively clicked on the door of room three, and the dialog box below the screen popped up again-someone in the room was talking on the phone, and the voice was small, and you vaguely heard words such as older brother, mother, hiding a corpse, and secret room.
”This room three’s tenant is very strange ah, who is he talking to on the phone?” Chen Ge stares at the screen carefully, pondering.
”Could it be his father? The phone call mentioned his brother and mom, but only the father was not mentioned.” Fan Cong ventured a guess: “Boss Chen, the high school student in Room 3 is likely the only person who can be of help to Boo.”
”Why do you think so?” Chen Ge was a little surprised.
”Didn’t you say before that you want to think from the game maker’s perspective? I’ve played this game for a few weeks and died countless times, and I have a general understanding of its worldview.” Under Chen Ge’s guidance, Fan Cong also started to try to think from the game maker’s point of view, “All the adults are either crazy or perverted, while the children are mostly victims, maybe this is the world in the eyes of the game maker, adults are hypocritical and scary, and a hint of simplicity and goodness can only be found in children. A high school student isn’t technically an adult, he’s somewhere between an adult and a child, I think you should try to get in touch with him.”
Fan Cong was clear that this game was by no means simply a horror mini-game, it had deeper connotations, but nay the level was limited and could only tell so much.
”You’re thinking too simply, Boo’s worldview is completely desperate, if you want to decipher the game world, you must first understand Boo as the main character.” Chen Ge looked back at Fan Cong: “All the children in this game are named Boo, all the children who died, were killed, or suffered misfortunes are named Boo, do you expect such a child to be simple and kind?”
Chen Ge re-looked at the screen, “In fact, playing until now, the longer Boo survives in this desperate world, the more wrong I feel, you’ve checked the news before, all the tragedies in this game are based on the real cases, that is to say, most of the scenes in it have happened in reality, so have you ever considered the question, if there is really a person named Boo, she will be in the real world when she is in the real world. Boo as a person, how did she survive after actually encountering these horrible things?”
Chen Ge spoke very quickly, and neither Fan Cong nor Fan Da De reacted, “What are you trying to express?”
”What I just manipulated Boo to do, Boo might have actually done it.” Chen Ge had vaguely understood the core of this game, and he wanted to say something else, but a new change appeared on the computer screen.
The door to guest room number three opened at that moment, and a student wearing a school uniform stood in the doorway, followed by a dialog box popping up at the bottom of the screen – It’s dangerous outside, and the tenant of room number three is worried about your safety and invites you to enter the middle of the room. You stand in the doorway and see tenant number three holding a family photo, dad and mom standing happily together, next to two boys who look exactly the same.
Chen Ge taps the screen again, and a new content appears in the dialog box – you just overheard the boys’ phone call outside the door with words such as hiding a corpse, and you’re scared and unwilling to go in. The third tenant swore to heaven to persuade you, saying that although he had killed people, he was forced to do so, and that he was the only good person in this town who could be trusted.
”See, how was my guess? This high school student should be able to help us a lot.” Fan Cong was happy, he felt like he had helped.
”Good people never point their noses and say they are good people.” Chen Ge shook his head and clicked the screen again, and the last sentence popped up in the dialog box – You’re curious about the third tenant and decided to listen to his story before making a decision.
