"Fuck, dead again."

Old Eggplant cursed, faced the vast sea of ​​stars, he was silent for a moment, and finally took off his helmet.

Back in the real world, Old Eggplant looked at the familiar scene inside the house and suddenly felt something was unreal.

Of course, he has not reached the point where he cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, but as the game progresses, Old Eggplant feels more and more that the world is not as he sees it on the surface. In the shadow of the world, evil is growing. People like him can only see the most superficial things, and the reality of the world is far beyond their reach.

For example, the copy he is playing in [A Quiet Place] now is called [The Last Lesson]. The main task is to enter a school where a murder has occurred and explore to find out the truth of that year.

It's very simple, just like some text adventure horror games.

But the problem is, this game is on Morningstar!

Controlling a paper man to explore on a computer is far less exciting than uncovering the truth bit by bit in that dilapidated school with your own hands.

In the past, I thought that the live broadcast of exploring abandoned factories and hospitals with a flashlight late at night was very boring, but now that I am in the game myself, it is really sour.

Not to mention, this is not just an abandoned school, there seems to be something inside it that is secretly affecting Old Eggplant.

He finally passed the first mission of "A Quiet Place", and encountered "The Last Lesson" in the second mission.

After completing the first task, he received a reward that could be effective when he was in danger and could reverse the current situation with a certain probability. However, Old Eggplant could not pin his hopes here.

After he entered this mission, he died shortly after it got dark. He was grabbed by the back by something in the toilet cubicle and dragged into the toilet.

Old Eggplant took off his helmet at that time and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He didn't go back to continue his strategy until he saw himself in the mirror, looking clean and refreshed enough to smile at himself.

Then, Lao Qiezi thought that many of Lu Ban's plots were related to reality, so he searched and found that there was indeed a school near Jiangcheng. It was closed due to some scandals and the school was dispersed to other schools.

He compared the news pictures with what he saw in the game. It couldn't be said that they had nothing to do with each other, but they were completely consistent.

Lao Qiezi searched for more information about the school at that time. He only knew that a girl seemed to have committed suicide in the school that year, and there were also some other rumors.

Some people said it was a collective crime, some thought it was an economic dispute, and some believed that there were outrageous rumors that a sacrificial ceremony had taken place here. Old Eggplant watched for more than an hour and had no clue at all.

Now, several days have passed since he started this mission, and Old Eggplant is still stuck in the middle. He roughly knows that a girl did die here that year, but he doesn't know why or how she died, whether it was suicide or homicide.

He felt overwhelmed and found it difficult to continue.

After washing his face, Lao Qiezi was about to order some takeout to eat, but when he looked at his phone, he found that their "A Quiet Place" group had a lot of messages.

[Wandering Swordsman]: Have you guys spawned it? It seems to be a special mission.

[Little Roman]: I have it out. Has anyone of you gone in to see it?

[Please call me a hero]: Not yet. I'm still being violently raped in school. Do you know how to deal with that woman in the red skirt in the corridor? I've been stabbed to death three or four times by her!

[Failure]: That's easy. When she is walking in the corridor, hide in the classroom and come out after she has passed this floor. Never confront her head-on. If you can't beat her, just kill her according to the plot.

[Genius Should Get Started]: Has anyone tried the poison for this mission? If not, I'll come back and ask later.

Everyone in the group is qualified to take the "A Quiet Place" test. According to Lao Qiezi's investigation, most of them have some supernatural powers to varying degrees. These powers do not make life more convenient, but instead cause some trouble.

After receiving Lu Ban's testing qualifications, they all entered the [Silent Land] to study this new game.

Soon, these players discovered that this game was different.

Although they also have a high degree of freedom, most copies of these games are limited to a certain time period and area, just like a piece of film cut out from a film.

Some people chatted in the group and even came up with a title called "God's Chosen One", believing that they were the chosen ones and would definitely achieve great things in the future.

After seeing the discussion in the group, Lao Qiezi realized that it was [A Quiet Place] that was updated.

A special mission was also issued.

There isn’t much discussion about the task in the group, because everyone is still working on the previous tasks, and they don’t know what the requirements of this special task are. If the difficulty is very high and they get stuck, it would be really ridiculous.

Old Eggplant was not in a hurry, because he would not be able to pass the level in a short time anyway.

He ate takeout and rested before putting on his helmet and updating the game.

Soon, another door appeared in the [Silent Place].

This door has a bit of the style of the 1920s and 1930s. It is made of wood and seems to have mottled marks on it. I don’t know if they are bullet marks or scratches. Looking at it gives people a creepy feeling.

From behind the door, dots of mist came out.

Old Eggplant sniffed and didn't smell anything strange.

On the door, cold and indifferent silver words appeared.

【Film Festival】

[The Miskatoc Film Festival is a North American fantasy film festival where imagination interweaves and has no end]

[But this closed, backward and xenophobic city seems a little different this year]

[The New England fog has enveloped this place. The citizens have become dull and manic, with strange smiles on their faces. The radio is full of creepy conversations. Although the sun is still shining, is it really real? ]

[You came to this city to help a team of college students shoot a horror movie, but the contents of the poorly written script were played out in reality, and everything went crazy.]

[Task requirements: Witness the ending of the movie]

[Task requirements: survive]

【“Camera, don’t stop!”】

Seeing these words, Old Eggplant took a breath of cold air.

He knew about the Miskatoc Film Festival, which is a relatively niche fantasy, science fiction, and horror film festival in North America. B-movie lovers will definitely not miss this festival.

He immediately took off his helmet and searched online. Soon, Lao Qiezi clicked on the official website of the film festival.

【Miskatoc Film Festival, currently underway】

When Old Eggplant saw the words, he felt a mixture of reality and fantasy.
