“Impossible!”

Xu Duzhong felt incredible.

For a normal game, someone will definitely complete it and provide a guide within a day after it is released, and a game like an interactive video that essentially requires no operation should be completed in minutes.

How is it possible that no one has gotten the true ending in two days?

Xu Duzhong didn't believe it, so he immediately searched the Internet for the video "The Wedding Day".

As a result, I found the highly-rated answer in [Do you understand?]

"…It's hard to imagine how complex this video is. Although the total length may be only a little over an hour, the branch routes it contains completely exceed the average single-player game time of fifteen to twenty hours. This is only the part that players have already explored. It's hard to imagine how much effort [Yidongdong] has spent during this period of time without updating, because the shooting of this video alone took at least a month…"

No one has finished the game, only those who haven't finished the game are praising this video.

After reading a few answers, Xu Duzhong opened the video again and tried an option given by someone that could steadily advance to the later stages.

But the third one was different.

When the carriage stopped again, there were no options to [Get off and check] or [Stay in the car], only [Use the light] and [Keep moving forward].

Xu Duzhong thought about it and chose to use a lamp to illuminate.

He saw the light penetrate the thick fog and saw in front of the carriage a strange-looking monster with a fish head and a human body.

The thing slowly emerged from the fog, making Xu Duzhong's scalp tingle.

"Does this thing really exist? Or is it just a prop?"

He was unconsciously involved in it.

Interactive videos, especially those of the exploration and suspense type that are very proactive, can easily draw people into the story. Combined with the environment of being alone in the dormitory and the realistic light and shadow of the video, Xu Duzhong feels as if he is actually there.

Moreover, this video seemed to have some magic that attracted his attention.

After examining the stone statue, he drove the carriage around and forward, but less than a minute later, Xu Duzhong actually saw the stone statue again in the dark fog ahead.

It’s exactly the same as the one I saw before.

"Ghost wall?"

He chose to look at the statue and then continued forward, but the same thing happened again soon.

Xu Duzhong, who didn't believe it, repeated it three or four times, and then the screen suddenly fell dark.

[You who are trapped in an endless cycle may need to find a way out. 】

【BAD END：27】

At this time, Xu Duzhong realized that he had unknowingly deviated from the game guide he was originally reading, just like after the summer vacation, he had planned to get up at eight o'clock every day, study for four hours during the day, exercise for three hours, and play for two hours. He had made a plan with great confidence and posted it on the wall, but when he woke up the next morning, he found that lunch was already ready. It was as if his attention was taken away by some inexplicable force.

Xu Duzhong even thought that this video might have used some psychological techniques to give him such an illusion.

He went to the bathroom to wash his face, sobered himself up, and went back to continue posting videos.

This time, Xu Duzhong did not look for guides directly, but first looked at the experiences summarized by others and some live videos.

Then he returned to the misty carriage.

An hour later, Xu Duzhong breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the strange-looking man with bulging eyes like a fish, he was finally able to leave the fog and head towards Ku Shui Town.

Only then did he realize that his palms were full of sweat and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Even the advanced mathematics exam was not as nervous as he was now.

Because Xu Duzhong knew that this interactive video did not have a saving function, every choice would lead to unknown results, and if he made a mistake, he might have to start all over again.

Some students may ask, can't the interactive video jump to the previous video node? Isn't this natural archiving?

Xu Duzhong also thought so at first, and so did everyone who watched the video. But later, people discovered that the random options in the video title seemed to be truly random. Even if the operations were exactly the same, returning to the previous node would not necessarily restore the state to its previous state.

The video seemed to have a will of its own, circumventing any attempts by viewers to take advantage of it.

Xu Duzhong was very cautious and didn't even check his QQ or WeChat. He focused on exploring the virtual Ku Shui Town alone.

He now felt as if he had really become Tristram, and was adventuring in this strange town with Lu Ban.

The two entered Ku Shui Town, and Xu Duzhong breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the plot description, they would be able to pass the level after attending the wedding, so they were at least halfway successful.

Just as Xu Duzhong was catching his breath, he suddenly felt someone blowing wind behind him while wearing headphones.

Then, a soft whisper floated out.

The camera moved, and Xu Duzhong caught a glimpse of a woman in red in the shaking camera.

"Fuck, wedding dress, is this a ghost bride?"

Xu Duzhong couldn't help shaking his legs to relieve the tension.

In such an immersive video, the sudden appearance of something like this is simply terrifying.

He also has to pay attention to whether there are options, so as not to miss them and go directly to the next plot.

He saw the camera move, and then looked back forward, at the door of the mansion with two big red lanterns hanging on it, as if everything before was an illusion.

"Two."

At this moment, a tablet call suddenly came from behind the stereo headphones, which made Xu Duzhong shiver uncontrollably. Goose bumps climbed up his back from his lower back, and his whole body trembled slightly as if PTSD was triggered.

"Fuck, that's so scary..."

He had just cursed to ease his fear when he saw the pale-faced man dressed as a butler with red lips behind them, and a chill blew between his legs.

At this moment, options suddenly appeared on the screen.

【Follow the other party】

【Reject the other party】

"I have to follow him? No, that's not right. This person looks weird. If I follow him, something might go wrong. I should choose a safer option at this time... Is this reverse thinking? It's because the other party is weird that I should follow him?"

Xu Duzhong quickly made up his mind and directly prepared to choose [Follow the other party].

Just as he moved the mouse over, he felt someone tapped his shoulder.

Xu Duzhong turned around subconsciously and saw a face next to his shoulder.

"Grass!"

He stepped back in such a hurry that he fell off the chair, and his whole body was shaking violently, like an old man with Parkinson's disease.

"Is it really that exaggerated? Are you doing something bad in the dormitory by yourself? Let me check if you are developing normally."

Only then did Xu Duzhong realize that they were his three roommates who had just returned from the Internet cafe and brought him some midnight snacks.

"Don't scare me... You almost frightened me to death."

Xu Duzhong hurriedly stood up and turned to look at the computer screen.

I was so scared that I accidentally chose [Reject the other party]. At this moment, everything went black and I fell in a pool of blood.

A cold laugh and a line of small words were heard from the screen.

[The night in Kushui Town was very cold. You stayed outside, witnessed something unusual, and lost your life. Next time, find a warm room.]
