There was no place to step in the messy bedroom. Clothes and various books were thrown on the floor, the coffee table was piled with various empty bottles, and lunch boxes had not been put away. The only thing that was relatively tidy in the whole room was the computer desk.
"Fan Cong, you've been playing games for a long time. You should move around occasionally and tidy up the house." Chen Ge walked carefully to the computer desk and looked at the computer screen.
There was a line of blood words on the black screen - you killed Xiaobu.
"This character looks like it was written by a child." Chen Ge had also seen a similar handwriting in Room 104 of Mingyang Community.
"Don't wear headphones when playing. Listening to that music too much will cause neurasthenia." Fan Cong is very experienced. He skillfully clicks on the screen, and the line of blood slowly disappears. The screen flashes and the game screen returns to normal: "The operation is very simple, just keep clicking with the mouse. By the way, what do you want to drink? How about Coke?"
"Okay, thank you." Chen Ge's attention has been drawn to the computer screen. The screen in front of him is completely that kind of cute girl-style game. The main color is pink, which looks very warm and cute: "It's amazing that you can complete such a game."
"I was just bored and playing around." Fan Cong was a little embarrassed. He opened the door and shouted outside, "Brother! Bring me two bottles of iced Coke."
After a while, Fan Dade came in with a plate and said, "I made two small dishes. You two can have something to eat if you are tired from playing."
After putting the things down, Fan Dade had no intention of leaving. He looked at the computer screen curiously: "Boss Chen, pay attention when you play. This game will suddenly show scary scenes from time to time. Don't be fooled by its current style."
"Don't worry." Chen Ge did not eat the food on the plate. He had a habit of not eating any food given by anyone after leaving the haunted house.
Chen Ge quickly got the hang of it by clicking the mouse. He controlled Xiao Bu to sit up from the bed and then walked out of the room.
With Fan Cong's explanation, Chen Ge quickly figured out the game map. The scenes in the game were almost identical to the real Liwan Town.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge found Xiaobu's classmate's house. Just as he was about to open the door of the secret passage, he suddenly found that when he clicked the wall with the mouse, a chat box would appear below - the classmate's house is so big, do you want to go to the second floor to take a look?
This sentence should be Xiaobu's inner monologue. After reading it, Chen Ge turned back to look at Fan Cong: "Have you been to the second floor?"
"There is only one award certificate for classmate Xiaobu. I have clicked on every place, using the carpet elimination method." Fan Cong was very sure.
Chen Ge thought about it and controlled Xiaobu to go to the second floor. There was a certificate stuck alone in the most colorful place opposite the door.
Click the mouse and the dialog box appears again - Student Jiang Xiaohu has outstanding performance and was named a "Three Good Students". This statement is issued to encourage him.
"Jiang Xiaohu?! Isn't this Jiang Long's child? I've seen him in the painting in room 104!" Chen Ge stared at the screen for a long time before he realized, "In such a large room, there is only one award certificate. What does this mean?"
He couldn't figure it out, so he controlled Xiaobu to go back to the first floor, opened the door of the secret passage and entered.
The bright and lovely painting style suddenly became eerie and strange. There were withered petals of sunflowers on the ground, and there seemed to be eyes opening and closing in the gaps between the bricks of the secret passage. It felt as if a beautiful dream suddenly turned into a nightmare.
"Boss Chen, you must be careful from now on. Danger may come from anywhere, and you may lose your life if you are not careful." Fan Cong also became nervous, holding the Coke can, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Walking out of the secret passage, he saw the bus stop and the woman in the red raincoat. Fan Cong had already conquered the previous plots, so Chen Ge only needed to make the right choice.
"You said before that the plot was stuck. Where was it stuck?" Chen Ge had successfully passed the previous few checkpoints. He got rid of the red raincoat, avoided Ma Fu's pursuit, and got rid of the drunk artist. The whole escape was smooth and flowing. Xiaobu seemed to be alive under his control, very flexible.
"After dark, you can't walk on the streets, otherwise you will die inexplicably. You have to hide in buildings." Fan Cong pointed to the top of the screen: "Do you see the color of the sky? It's gray-black now. When it turns completely black, it means it's dark. This game has very good details."
"Then what should I do now?" Chen Ge controlled Xiaobu to stand at the crossroads, feeling a little confused.
"According to my previous experience, there are still ten minutes until dark. You must find a safe house for Xiaobu within these ten minutes, and this is where I am stuck." Fan Cong put down the Coke and scratched his head: "You can't get into an ordinary house at all. I tried many places, and in the whole town, only the hotel and the apartment building where Xiaobu's own home is located can be normally entered after dark."
"Then why don't you let her go back to her own home?"
"There's a dead body in her house, a female ghost in the neighbor's house, and a murderer in the bushes below the building who is dismembering his victim. I've tried countless times, but there's only one outcome when I go home, and that's death." Fan Cong's eyes were swollen. "After dark, the difficulty of this game soared tenfold, leaving no way to survive!"
"It's really too much. Let her go to the hotel." Chen Ge was still calm. He was still calculating the time.
"Going to a hotel is even worse. The owner is a psychopath in disguise, the chef is a mentally ill lunatic, and all the tenants except Xiaobu are dead." Fan Cong seemed to have finally found someone to complain to: "This afternoon, I chose a hotel, but ended up being chased by the owner for twenty minutes. The person who designed this game is a psychopath. Xiaobu dies if he touches him, which means that the entire game player only has one life, and if he dies, he has to start all over again."
"According to you, this is still a game that requires skill?"
"The only way I can think of to get through the game is to play hide-and-seek with the store owner all night, wait until dawn and then leave the hotel. There is no other way to get through the night." Fan Cong is desperate.
"Let me try." Chen Ge looked at his watch and said, "There are still seven minutes until dark in the game. I'll go to Xiaobu's house first."
He controlled Xiaobu to come to a relatively high-end residential area in Liwan Town. After the scene changed, the warm residential area became deserted and gloomy, and those enthusiastic neighbors were all gone.
"If we go home, we will surely die." Fan Cong couldn't bear to watch any longer. Every time Xiaobu died, he felt indescribable sadness in his heart. It seemed that this game had affected him in reality.
The grass rustled, and Chen Ge controlled Xiaobu to avoid it.
She went straight into the family building. At that moment, the elevator opened and a man in a black raincoat came out, lowering his head deliberately.
A chat box popped up at the bottom of the screen - you didn't see his face clearly, but you remembered his physical features.
Taking the elevator back to his home, Chen Ge controlled Xiaobu to open the door, and the chat box appeared again - you found that your stepfather had been murdered and fell in a pool of blood.
Entering the house, three options popped up on the screen.
1: Call the police immediately and seek help from your neighbors.
2: Find needle and thread to sew up the stepfather's wound and make him into a rag doll.
3: Ignore him and go to sleep.
Chen Ge thought for a while and chose option number three.
"Brother, calm down." As soon as he finished choosing, Fan Cong immediately stood up and asked, "Are you sure you want to choose three?"
"You also said that the neighbor is a female ghost. Option one is a dead option, and option two does not conform to the thinking of a normal person. In comparison, it is better to choose option three." Chen Ge answered seriously.
