The entire venue fell into darkness, the background music disappeared, and only the panicked sounds of the crowd remained.
"What's wrong?"
"BUG?"
"Where are the staff?"
"Everyone, don't panic! Stay where you are!"
"I can't log out! It says the area is locked and I can't log out for the time being!"
"Me too!"
"This must be a major accident, right?!"
Not only were the guests panicking, but the fans were also very panicked because they had the same problem as the guests and could not log out! No matter how many times they tried, the only response they got was the cold system prompt: Your area has been locked and logout is not supported.
[Shit, this isn't an award for Best Horror Game, is it for Haunted?]
Are ghosts everywhere in the virtual world? Is the purge happening too quickly?
How's Ms. Li? She's still on stage. Is she the only one on stage with the host now?
[The host and staff stepped aside while they were speaking! ]
[Ms. Riko, are you okay? If you're okay, just let me know!]
In the darkness, amid the increasingly panicked voices of the guests present, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out.
"Where have you been?!"
"Where have you been today?!"
In an instant, the whole audience fell silent and no one spoke.
After the guests fell silent, the discordant sounds became particularly prominent, especially the woman's crying and a bunch of messy sounds whose specific content could not be heard clearly but could be identified as human voices.
They were mixed together, and occasionally one or two words could be heard, but they could not be pieced together to form a complete sentence. It only made people feel noisy, and made the pitch-black darkness even more frightening.
Where on earth did these sounds come from? They fell into everyone's ears, as if they were ringing in their own ears, but when you turned your head in the darkness, or stretched out your hand, all you could catch were your companions who were just as scared as you.
“Where are the staff?”
"Where did the staff go?!"
The staff member who was placed with high hopes finally lived up to everyone's expectations and stood up. The only familiar voice rang out in the venue.
"Dear guests, please don't panic. We are already carrying out emergency repairs. This is just a minor system bug. There is no need to..." The host's words were replaced by the sound of electricity halfway through, and his "worry" at the end became very soft and distorted.
After a brief burst of electric noise, the host's voice completely disappeared, and another voice rang in everyone's ears, the voice of a woman in her forties.
"You...are the new resident of Sunset Red Apartments?"
What? Me?
[I don't own a house or rent one. I'm just living off my parents. Don't blame me!]
[No, I don’t know what Sunset Red Apartment is!]
[Let me out! What the hell is going on?! Why did the host suddenly...?]
Before everyone could react, the lights in the entire venue came on. The sudden arrival of light formed a sharp contrast with the previous darkness, and everyone was so stimulated that they could not open their eyes.
They all raised their hands to block the light, and through the gaps between their fingers they could barely see that there seemed to be a person sitting on the stage.
Not only did they see it, but many fans also saw it, and they also discovered that all the staff in the venue had disappeared!
Who is that?
【Teacher Riko is missing too! 】
[Can you please look carefully? Teacher Lizi has clearly returned to her seat.]
[Amazing! How did she manage to get back to her seat in the dark? Wasn't she scared?]
[You're kidding! She's a horror game maker.]
So no one told me who was on the stage?
The guests in the audience had no idea who was on stage. The staff had mysteriously vanished, leaving them all alone. And there was no way to log out. Could it be some electronic ghost, drawn by the "Horror Game of the Year" award ceremony, that was causing trouble?!
Thinking of this, many people's eyes silently turned towards Nari.
After all, she was the last person to go on stage to receive the award... and she was also a horror game producer, so maybe she had some way to tame electronic ghosts.
Yu Yuan's whole body was stiff now. She lowered her head slightly, letting her hair hide her expression.
Another producer, who was only separated from her by a Nari, was also frozen in the same state. She had short hair, so she covered her mouth with one hand, pretending that she had not recovered yet.
"Good baby..." Just when everyone's eyes fell silently on Nari who lowered her head slightly, the woman sitting on the stage with her back to the crowd suddenly started singing.
Her body swayed gently from side to side, not very loudly, and her singing was soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly. The soft tune sung by the delicate female voice was actually a lullaby for a child.
"Baby, baby, baby, lie in your mother's arms and sleep quietly..."
"Baby, baby, baby, lie in your mother's arms and sleep sweetly..."
No one in the audience dared to speak. They all sat quietly in their seats, listening to the woman singing on the stage.
Her voice was undoubtedly beautiful, but as the lullaby was repeated over and over again, her voice began to change, from calm and gentle, to starting to be mixed with a few sobs, and finally bursting into tears.
Finally, her singing disappeared completely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because they felt inexplicably depressed with the woman's crying.
