Rollover
The staff passage is hidden in the wall. The space is extremely narrow. During the opening hours of the visitor route, the light inside is darker than outside.
Lai Yuanjia had to turn on the flashlight on his computer. There was only a white circle in his field of vision. He became more and more scared as he walked, and the flashlight light shook violently as he ran.
When he reached the corner, his eyes suddenly widened and he burst into screaming.
"ah!!--"
Under the green light of the sign, there was a person with long white hair!
The overhead light made her face unclear. She was wearing a light-colored skirt, but it was covered with red blood. She was holding an octopus head in her hand, which glowed fluorescently under the green light.
[Help! ! ! ]
[Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it must be a staff member. How normal is it to encounter NPCs in the employee passage?! ]
[Aaaaa, it's better to go outside! ! Isn't this the host walking straight into the ghost NPC's lair? ! ]
If Lai Yuanjia was just frightened just now and his rationality was still barely functioning, the next moment, the words of the white-haired woman in front of him completely broke the strings in his brain.
I only heard her say faintly: "Oh, no, I was seen."
The barrage went crazy too.
[Is this the normal employee's reaction? Shouldn't they ask "Tourist, why are you here?" Why does it seem like she is the one who was accidentally caught?! ]
[Ahhhh, I'm really having a hard time breathing. What did the anchor bump into?! ]
"Don't come over here!!---" Lai Yuanjia sat down on the ground, crawling backwards, his face full of tears. When he saw the woman in front of him take a step forward, he couldn't even shout, and fainted with his head tilted.
The computer fell to the ground and the live broadcast was interrupted.
Shang Jingyan was shocked: "..."
Wait, there won’t be an accident on the first day of her haunted house, right?
[It's okay, my physiological indicators are still within the normal range, I just fainted due to excessive stimulation.]
X71 said sadly, […What you just said is really misleading.]
Shang Jingyan swore that she just blurted out that subconsciously. After hearing the noise, she wanted to leave quickly to avoid scaring the NPC again, but this person ran faster and faster, and she met love at the corner.
The blood-stained clothes on her body - this was a special dye for a certain route, and every tourist would be splashed with it, and it would evaporate on its own after a while;
The octopus head in her hand was picked up on a certain route. It was unknown which unlucky NPC had been robbed by a tourist.
Shang Jingyan squatted down and helped the man up: "Hey, it's not a staff member."
Come to think of it, the staff had the key, so why would they break the door like that?
X71 said indignantly: [This person is a live streamer, he is extremely bad, let me show you what he did. ]
Shang Jingyan looked at the information sent by the system and shrugged: [Okay, the only guilt is gone. ]
As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you will die. Tourists without quality should have an experience that they will never forget.
After Lai Yuanjia's live broadcast was interrupted, viewers in Jiang Yuran's group soon discovered that the person he met was the young lady in the princess dress who had left the team early and taken a shortcut.
[Laughing so hard that he could hit the wall, what kind of luck is this for Lai Yuanjia? He deserves it! ]
[But why is she in the staff passage? Was she really sent by the castle to scare tourists? ]
[Wait, her hair color and length, could it be...]
The speculation in the barrage was soon confirmed.
Two hours later, the Jiang siblings finally passed the haunted house, and saw Shang Jingyan sitting at the end with his chin supported on his hands, looking at them with a smile.
"Shang... Director Shang!?" Jiang Yuran exclaimed, her face flushed. She didn't expect that the sweet and cool girl she praised was the dream builder she admired!
【！ ！ It’s Director Shang! 】
[Ahhh, I'm so jealous! I also want to play in a haunted house with Director Shang! ]
[It turns out that Director Shang can also wear a pink princess dress. The contrast is so cute. I fell in love (covering my heart).]
On the first day of the haunted house's opening, there were so many twists and turns that it even made it to several hot searches.
After obtaining the consent of the Jiang brothers and sisters, Shang Jingyan combined the surveillance footage of Jiang Yuran hugging the NPC with the surveillance footage of himself scaring the NPC and put it on the official website as a promotional video.
[Hahahaha NPC also wants to ask: Why me again?! ]
[Others: Ghosts are so scary. Ghosts: Director Shang is so scary. Conclusion: Shang Jingyan is at the top of the horror food chain.]
[NPC: Director Shang, you hired me to scare people, but you didn’t tell me that I would be scared?! ]
[If Director Shang hadn’t explained it afterwards, this NPC would have to think about it when he lay in bed at night after he turned 80: What on earth did I encounter in the haunted house that year? ]
[Hahaha, stop talking. I'm dying of laughter.]
[I hope that when Lai Yuanjia is 80 years old, he is still wondering whether what he encountered was a ghost (dog head).]
"hateful!!"
An angry shout was heard from a medical room in Rose Heart.
Lai Yuanjia sat on the hospital bed, and threw his laptop away in anger. But the comments he had just seen seemed to be engraved in his brain, and he could not forget them at all.
[Lai Yuanjia really deserved it. Fortunately, he was not ill, otherwise he would have blackmailed the castle if something happened.]
[Is this the quality of the anchor from the main star system? Haha, this kind of anchor should be banned as soon as possible! ]
[I really didn't know he was this kind of person before. His reputation has collapsed. How annoying.]
[Do we have to wait until now? This person has already accumulated a lot of negative information to deliberately discredit the remote galaxy...]
【From fan to hater! 】
[Does Lai Yuanjia still dare to go on air? The notice said he fainted, but his vital signs were normal. Is he just being a coward now? ]
All these are just curses.
In fact, if it was just simple scolding, Lai Yuanjia would have been immune to it long ago. The first thing he learned in this line of work is to be shameless.
However, what really panicked him was that this time a large number of fans turned against him.
Since the original audience had a noble mentality, they would definitely boast that "I am a well-educated person."
As a result, the anchor they had always trusted was frightened and behaved uncivilized in front of the camera.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but the main problem was that Lai Yuanjia made a fool of himself and was ridiculed by the entire Internet, which led to them being ridiculed as well.
His previous act of throwing garbage at the front desk was also discovered by a tourist. At tourist attractions like this, cameras must be placed in conspicuous places in accordance with the law. Lai Yuanjia guarded against Xue's Cultural Tourism and avoided the cameras, but forgot to guard against tourists.
In the past, such a video with no traffic would not have made any splash; but this time, with the help of the haunted house, it was pushed directly to his fans.
The thing that people who discriminate against others cannot tolerate the most is being treated like monkeys, so in order to cut ties with them, they vent their anger on Lai Yuanjia.
Lai Yuanjia was caught in a dilemma and everyone wanted him to be punished.
"Hahaha……"
Whenever people were talking and laughing outside the ward, Lai Yuanjia would sensitively look up, feeling that the whole world was talking about him.
He finally began to regret why he had the guts to pull the door.
Fear made him tear off his usual disguise and reveal his true face.
And then, a deeper fear spread in his heart, and Lai Yuanjia couldn't help biting his nails.
After this, can his travel live broadcast continue to be successful? ... There are many people imitating him, and even the company he signed with is supporting similar newcomers.
Lai Yuanjia knows clearly where his advantages lie. If you uncover the essence, he is actually very replaceable. It’s just that he became famous early, so he has his current status.
His failure has caused a large number of audiences to leave, and the company might take the opportunity to replace him with a newcomer who is easier to control.
What should he do? Will an apology and reconciliation with Xue's Culture and Tourism be effective?
Lai Yuanjia was holding on to a glimmer of hope, but the next moment he discovered that this road was no longer painful.
——Xue’s Culture and Tourism issued a notice stating that its companies do not welcome this type of tourist and that he has been put on the blacklist.
[Hahaha, Lai Yuanjia must be so pissed now, he thought he was the one who looked down on Exile Galaxy, but it turns out that others look down on him too! ]
[Who can look at such a person? ]
[This is the first time I feel that the Exile Galaxy has such a strong presence. Is the dream builder industry there also so interesting? ]
[I also need to reflect on myself. I used to think that the things there were very tacky, but after watching Lai Yuanjia’s live broadcast this time, there is actually not much difference...]
The Exiled Galaxy has always been an invisible entity in the mainstream vision. It is usually mentioned in the form of "a certain criminal is imprisoned in the Exiled Galaxy", "the Exiled Star Thief has been wandering around a certain planet recently"... This time it became famous in the cultural and tourism industry, and used the haunted house incident to give the mainstream a small slap in the face, which is surprising.
Gamma galaxy.
"Damn, why is it only available in the Exile Galaxy? I want to play it too!"
Lu Zibing originally wanted to play "Building 18", but after seeing the haunted house open, he became a virtual tourist and his eyes were red with jealousy.
Even someone like Lai Yuanjia can do it, so why can't he!
There was also wailing in the live broadcast room.
[I can buy an agent account to play the holographic game, but I can only sigh in despair at the offline haunted house. ]
[Director Shang, please become famous soon! ! Open haunted houses all over the universe! ]
[Actually, this idea can be used as a reference by others, right? I feel that within a month at most, we will also launch a similar haunted house project, but our imagination will definitely not be as rich as Director Shang’s…]
[Hey, I've played it, and I'm almost done with it. I'll show you Director Shang's autograph session live later. ]
The only Exile Galaxy IP that Lu Zibing had played was besieged by everyone's envy. Lu Zibing hypnotized himself: "Huh, what's so fun about it? It's the same when I play games..."
But this statement cannot convince me. "Building 18" is just a single-player story game. There is no real-life NPC interaction, and no teammates to adventure with.
There are very few multiplayer interactive holographic games on the market at present, because with each additional player joining in the interaction, the mental workload of the dream builder will increase exponentially. Generally, these games are only produced when large companies employ dozens or hundreds of dream builders.
If an independent dream builder launches a multiplayer interactive game, the structure will definitely be very simple, basically just a group of people looking at the scenery on the map and laughing.
Lu Zibing stared at the video for a while and said, "I'm going to start today's live broadcast. Wait for me. I swear to be the first player on the entire Internet to complete Building 18!"
【Qing Se Xue: Do you think I care about you? 】
[Host, let's be realistic. The only thing that has surpassed Qing Se Xue now is the number of deaths (dog heads).]
Ever since "Rouge Comb" became a hit, countless people have been addicted to "Building 18" these days. The clips of the hosts being scared out of their wits can make a comedy collection, but there are still people who continue to prove themselves, which shows that horror games are so damn attractive.
In fact, Lu Zibing's progress is not slow. Even though he always plays for several days to adjust, he is still in the top 10% of players.
After Qing Sexue unlocked the notebook last time, Lu Zibing also unlocked it when he was playing a few days ago.
However, in order to avoid spoilers, he did not watch Ao Qingxue's live broadcast. After inferring the information about school violence, he did not think of using after-school tutoring to improve Xiao Shuai's favorability. He relied on brute force to crack it -
Xiao Shuai was eating, he was holding a plate and peeking at him from a distance;
Xiao Shuai was in another class, and he sneaked out of the principal's office and watched from outside the window;
When Xiao Shuai went to the toilet, he wanted to manipulate the female principal to follow him into the men's toilet...
With such perseverance, he noticed the occurrence of bullying incidents, and was ridiculed by the barrage of comments: Host, are you playing a perverted tracking simulator?
After coming out of the toilet, Lu Zibing was so scared that he cursed a lot and was directly judged as [You chose to scold classmate Xiaomei]. He was nervous for a while, but the barrage of comments comforted him. For the time being, it is unclear what impact this option will have on the plot.
At this moment, Lu Zibing logged into the game and found that the heroine was dreaming.
All players who unlock the diary will trigger the protagonist to dream that night.
Players put together the heroine's random dreams. Most of them were meaningless fragments, but a girl appeared in every dream.
She was probably in high school, wearing a winter school uniform and a pink woolen scarf around her neck that covered half of her face, making her entire face blurry in the mist.
Judging from her figure, she is the same girl in the heroine Langzhu's previous nightmare, except that the girl in the nightmare turned around and had a bloody face. The atmosphere in this dream was colder and sadder. She would run away after saying something loudly, and the heroine woke up with tears on her face.
Some players speculated that this girl is very likely an important person to Langzhu, such as a daughter. And Langzhu's secret is likely related to this girl. For example, this girl had an accident in No. 2 Middle School ten years ago, and Langzhu came to investigate after many years.
"Oh, it looks so sad..." Lu Zibing "woke up" with melancholy, and was a little absent-minded until the heroine went to work.
Lin Huailu made him a cup of tea and asked, "Did the principal not sleep well last night?"
Lu Zibing was determined to conquer the enemy: "Yes. Teacher Lin, do you have any good prescription for calming the nerves? I went to our Building 18 a few days ago, and I always felt like I was haunted by ghosts these days."
[Ah, can I say this directly to the NPC? ]
[Anchor, this is the first time a player has spoken directly to Lin Huailu.]
[Give up, host. Lin Huailu must have some secrets. Those who tried to capture him are dead.]
Under the players' tricks, Lin Huailu's basic information had already been found out. On the surface, he was just an ordinary math teacher who had just been transferred to No. 2 Middle School a year ago. When asked about Building 18 indirectly, he would refuse and say he didn't know.
Most players have already given up. Anyway, in terms of appearance, Lin Huailu is not that good in the entire gaming circle.
The players thought that Lin Huailu would say he was helpless, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "I went to the temple a few days ago and got a calming talisman. It's very useful. I can lend it to you, the principal. Do you want it?"
【? How come I haven't seen this plot before in other people's stories? I'm shocked.】
[It may be that he hasn't met Lin Huailu yet. Among the players who play the main story and have the walkthrough, our anchor has the highest favorability with Lin Huailu. ]
[??? Is it really necessary to have a love storyline? This doesn’t fit with Director Shang’s style!]
Lu Zibing was also stunned for a moment, then said ecstatically: "Okay, okay!"
The talisman looked like a small brocade bag with a golden background and characters written in cinnabar that he could not understand.
[You have obtained the item: Lin Huailu's mysterious calming talisman. ]
The props and Lin Xiaomei's rag doll were put into the prop box. Lu Zibing muttered, "Was this planned? Both of them have the last name Lin."
He happily spent a day in the game, and night fell.
Lu Zibing thought that he would soon enter the next day and trigger a new plot, but he found that "he" was dreaming again.
This was a dream that no one had ever unlocked before - he had become a different person in it, a girl, as if he had possessed her.
Rather than a dream, this was more like a memory. The dream began with the girl walking in a corridor, opening the door of the dormitory and going in.
Lu Zibing saw clearly that the house number was "404" in bright red.
[Oh my god, the anchor actually accidentally came up with a new plot! ]
[So exciting, this is the dormitory where the diary is! Could it be that the owner of this dream is the owner of the diary? ]
[Looking at the age of the building in the distance, this is indeed where it was ten years ago! ]
The live broadcast perspective of the barrage was limited. It was no longer a third-person perspective, but a first-person perspective synchronized with Lu Zibing's line of sight, making it more immersive.
Lu Zibing grew up in the countryside of his planet. Although the school did not look like this, he actually lived in a dormitory with his classmates.
So this situation and scene were particularly immersive for him.
The clock on the dormitory wall showed that the time was 9:55 pm, which should be the end of the evening self-study class.
The other roommates also came back one after another, and together with the owner of the dream, there were eight people in total.
Their faces were very clear, but due to the limitation of the first-person perspective, everyone could only see that "they" had long black hair.
Everything seemed like an ordinary night. The girls were laughingly discussing math problems from evening study and complaining about the weird things that happened to them today. Only the protagonist of the dream did not join in the topic.
They didn't talk to her and she ignored them.
[As expected, there is a plot of exclusion. The protagonist is so miserable. 】
[Thinking of my school experience, ah...]
[Will school bullying be the common theme of "Building 18" ten years ago and ten years later? ]
Dormitory 404 turned off the lights and went to sleep at around 11 o'clock. The dream heroine wrote a diary for a while with a night light on before going to bed. The content was:
2123/4/1
Boring April Fools' Day.
Will he appear again?
The strange thing is that the girl initially wrote the word “he” as “it”, and hesitated for a while before changing it. Moreover, her hands were shaking a little when she wrote it, as if she was afraid.
[It's really the owner of the diary! ! ]
[This is the new diary after the torn page 1. ]
[Why do you say "it"? Is it some small animal? ]
The heroine in the dream was the last one to go to bed. The night light was turned off, and the dormitory became completely dark.
However, not long after, perhaps it was midnight, she woke up again.
It’s not accurate to say that she woke up. It should be that she was having a nightmare. Lu Zibing and she had the same perspective. He was conscious but his body could not move.
I don't know when it started raining outside the window, and it sounded very heavy. The branches were blown against the window, making crackling sounds.
[I am most afraid of nightmares. No matter how hard I try, I can’t wake up. ]
[Host, I know you can’t ask questions now, so I’ll kindly share some scientific knowledge (dog head). The phenomenon of “nightmare” and “sleep paralysis” used to have another name, called “sleep paralysis”. ]
[Ahhh, this is a very vivid description! Are the ghosts in the game real?! ]
Lu Zibing: “…”
What is the point of this kind of popular science except to deepen his fear! !
He tried hard to concentrate, because his hearing was particularly sharp due to his limited senses.
But gradually, he felt a chill in his back.
The sound of rain outside the window seems to be... mixed with other sounds!
It wasn't his illusion, the balcony door handle was really turned!
The sound of clang, clang became clearer and clearer, and the barrage of comments also noticed it.
[Oh my god, did someone climb in through the balcony? ? Want to break into the house and rob? ]
[Host, please work harder!! We can't see anything from your current perspective. Hurry up and get up to see what it is! ]
[This is the fixed animation of the character in the game. He can't wake up. I can only express my condolences to the anchor in advance. ]
Lu Zibing wished he could really fall into a deep sleep. It was better than enduring this torment while being conscious.
The only sound in the dormitory was the dull and even breathing. The other seven people were completely silent.
Finally, "Squeak——"
The balcony door was opened, and the sound of wind and rain suddenly became louder, then became smaller as the balcony door was closed again, blocking it out.
Click, click.
The rain dripped down the man's clothes and landed on the dry ground of the dormitory.
The man's footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible, but the sound of water followed him like a shadow, indicating his location.
It seemed like it was looking for something. It first stopped in front of the bunk beds No. 1 and 3 opposite for a while, and then slowly moved to the nearby beds No. 2 and 4.
The girl who was "possessed" by Lu Zibing was in bed number 5, the upper bunk, directly opposite bed number 1.
The sound of water drops became less and less obvious, and it was obvious that the rain on the visitor's body was slowly drying up.
Lu Zibing felt that "his" breathing began to tremble uncontrollably.
[Even if I’m watching the live broadcast, I dare not breathe...]
【Ahhh QAQ】
[It feels like a knife is hanging over my head, and I don’t know when it will fall! ]
Apart from breathing, no other sound could be heard in the dormitory.
Is that person gone?
Lu Zibing thought hopefully.
Just at this moment, Lu Zibing found himself slowly waking up. Not only was the sleep paralysis about to pass, but he seemed to be able to control the character and his eyelids could move.
Grass!
He cursed in his heart. In his 20 years of life, he had never felt that "opening eyes" or "not opening eyes" was such a difficult decision.
Want to see what's in the dorm?
[Don't look at it, don't look at it, ahhh mom, I'm scared! ]
【Take a look! It’s just a game, it’s worth a look!!】
[I support it too, please take a look! ]
Lu Zibing made up his mind and slowly opened his eyes.
