Chapter 337 Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong
"The Witch?"
Gu Zhiyi looked at the name on the store page and instantly became interested.
He knew the concept of witches.
Women who use witchcraft, magic, astrology and act with such supernatural powers in Western culture.
It is not surprising for overseas big companies to make this theme.
But it is a bit interesting for a domestic company to make a game called "The Witch"...
Although before, Linmu Studio also had many works that were not related to China, such as the background story of "Breakout", which was fictional.
But shooting games are simpler, and the background story of "Breakout" is obscure, almost all in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Many players don't care about the plot of shooting games.
But witches are different.
There was also a notorious witch hunt in history.
So Gu Zhiyi was a little confused. Is this game an artistic processing of history?
Or... move the stage to that period?
What type of game is this?
Online game? Can domestic players accept such a background? Stand-alone game? What type of stand-alone game is it? Action? Shooting? Can domestic players accept it?
In short.
The moment he saw the name of the witch,
Gu Zhiyi thought a lot.
But he quickly realized that it was useless.
After all, the game Linmu Studio has already made it...
Let's just watch the trailer.
Gu Zhiyi held the mouse and clicked on the trailer with a little excitement.
The video begins.
The familiar Linmu Studio logo appears on the screen.
Then, it slowly disappears.
Screams and cries followed.
The chaotic scene flashed by.
A scene of a raging fire rising into the sky appeared in front of the camera.
A little boy stood in front of the fire, his pupils reflecting the burning wooden house, and his whole body trembling.
Suddenly.
In front of the house with a raging fire, a gorgeous woman slowly turned around, looked at the boy, and a smile appeared on her face.
The boy's trembling suddenly stopped, and he clenched his fists tightly.
The screen darkened.
Then it lit up again.
Accompanied by the drumbeats,
a dirty and messy riverside street appeared on the screen.
The dim street lights and the gray sky above were set off against each other.
It seemed particularly depressing.
And ahead of the river, there was a track. On both sides of the track, more than a dozen bodies wrapped in white shrouds were piled up on the roadside, and the bright red blood penetrated the white cloth. The
pedestrians on the street pulled their clothes, looked at the piled bodies, and immediately looked away, not surprised, like zombies walking.
The camera slowly pulled down.
More than a dozen rats were running around on the body bag, one of which tore the shroud hard and was gnawing on the fingers of the corpse.
But suddenly.
A mechanical leg crossed over, making a dull sound. The rats heard the sound, frightened, and ran around.
Gu Zhiyi: "?"
Wait... Mechanical leg?
What is this?
Gu Zhiyi was a little confused.
And the propaganda film continued.
The mechanical leg passed by, and then a car moved forward along the track. The camera followed the car, along the rails, and swept across the street.
At a checkpoint.
A soldier stood on a high point with a bright red flag hanging behind him. At the same time, the sound of a broadcast sounded in the background music, as if reminding residents to go home.
The whole atmosphere was filled with the breath of dictatorship.
At this time, the car also came.
The soldier standing on the high ground saw the car, looked at the ordinary residents who seemed to be protesting and blocked the door, and waved his hand.
Then.
With the dull mechanical sound, the full picture of the mechanical leg that Gu Zhiyi had just glimpsed appeared on the screen... It was indeed a mechanical leg. A soldier stood on the mechanical leg armor as if on stilts, with a device on his back, and at this moment the device was emitting dazzling electric light.
The soldier standing on the mechanical leg armor slowly drew his bow and aimed at the residents who blocked the road.
A resident seemed to realize something, shouted NO, turned around and wanted to run.
But it was too late.
The soldier let go of the bowstring, and the arrow fell to the ground, instantly turning into a tongue of fire, engulfing the residents who blocked the road.
A resident who was on fire was panicking and rushed into the checkpoint guarded by the soldier.
The camera gave a close-up of the checkpoint.
The arc flickered.
The resident ran into the checkpoint.
As soon as he crossed the line.
The electrodes on both sides instantly emitted blue arcs.
As soon as the burning residents came into contact with the electric arc, they were instantly carbonized and turned into dust.
"????"
Gu Zhiyi was confused again.
The costumes are from the Middle Ages, right?
Then what is this?
The power grid?
In the trailer, the plot continues.
The rail car slowly passed by the residents who were on fire and wailing. A well-dressed man in the car looked out the window indifferently, then turned his head back.
The soldier let it go.
The rail car successfully passed the checkpoint and drove forward.
At this time.
The camera slowly pulled up to the roof.
A man stood on the gable roof and stood up when he saw the car passing by.
The camera switched to him.
He picked up the exquisite mechanical mask that appeared in the promotional picture and put it on his face. After a short adaptation, the camera also changed to the first-person perspective.
The first-person perspective of the game!
He ran quickly on the roof, turning and moving.
Then he looked at the rail car below again.
The rail car passed another checkpoint. The soldier watched the vehicle go away, seemed to have some sense, and looked at the roof.
But there was no one on the roof, only a few crows flew up.
The picture switched again.
Back to the male protagonist, he came to a house with a national flag hanging on the balcony and guarded by soldiers.
Then.
The camera changed to the first-person perspective of the game again.
The male protagonist stood right above the soldier, with a knife in his right hand.
He grasped the hilt of the knife with the blade pointing downward.
He suddenly jumped down and thrust the blade into the soldier's body.
The soldier groaned and fell to the ground.
The man pulled out the blade, turned around and walked quickly into the house.
After passing a long corridor, the male protagonist came to a door, leaned over slightly, and looked into the house through the keyhole.
The middle-aged man who had just stayed in the rail car and was well dressed was talking to a soldier.
Suddenly.
The soldier seemed to have sensed something and looked at the door. Just through the lock, he saw the male protagonist's exquisite mask and roared.
The male protagonist slowly stood up.
He raised his left hand and pointed it at the door. On
his left hand, a mark slowly lit up...
Bang -
the solid wooden door instantly turned into countless wood chips, flying everywhere.
The male protagonist's figure appeared.
The soldier in the house immediately drew his knife and rushed towards the male protagonist.
The male protagonist casually used a knife to push away the soldier's knife, then kicked him aside, then slashed his neck with the knife, turned around and slashed at another soldier who rushed over.
The action was clean and neat.
The well-dressed man saw this scene and turned around and ran away in panic.
The male protagonist swung his knife and turned to chase him. He
pushed the door open.
Three soldiers who heard the noise rushed in from outside, appeared in front of the man, and protected the well-dressed man.
One drew his knife, and the other two picked up flintlock rifles.
Bullets were fired, and the blades slashed.
The male protagonist raised his left hand again, and the rune lit up again.
The movements of the three soldiers suddenly stopped, and the bullets that had already been fired, the smoke and sparks from the bullets stopped in mid-air.
It was as if time had stopped.
The male protagonist put down his left hand, then picked up a crossbow, aimed at the three stationary soldiers and shot crossbow arrows respectively, and then walked to the side.
Time suddenly returned to normal.
Accompanied by the muffled sound of the crossbow arrows entering the flesh.
The three soldiers fell to the ground instantly, holding the crossbow arrows that pierced their throats.
Gu Zhiyi: "???"
Wait!
Wait!
What is this? ? ?
"Where is she!"
In the promotional video.
The male protagonist grabbed the neck of the well-dressed man and asked in a low voice.
"Who are you, who are you looking for..."
The man was panicked and begged for mercy while asking.
"Witch, the witch you kept in captivity."
The well-dressed man was stunned and said a place name.
After listening, the male protagonist picked up the knife again and directly wiped the other's neck, then turned around and heard the violent footsteps outside. Suddenly, he faced the window and raised his left hand again.
The mark on his left hand lit up.
He suddenly appeared in front of the window like a flash, rushed forward, broke the glass, and with the glass fragments flying everywhere, he rolled and fell to the ground.
As the male protagonist rolled to the ground.
The camera montage changed again.
The muddy street.
The charming and delicate woman held the bread, gently closed the door, and looked up.
She saw the male protagonist wearing a windbreaker and a delicate mechanical mask.
She was stunned.
The male protagonist took the handle of the knife and swung it violently. A folded long knife appeared and was reflected on the water surface of the street.
The woman looked at the male protagonist, was silent for a moment, slowly put down the bread in her arms, then slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and took a step forward.
Bang.
Flames shot up into the sky.
Screams and roars came one after another.
The male protagonist pinched the collar of the woman's long skirt with his left hand and raised the long knife with his right hand.
The charming and delicate woman was pushed back and fell heavily to the ground.
Next to her, the bread in the basket jumped up and fell into the dirty water, slowly becoming stained with filth.
The male protagonist raised the knife high in his right hand and thrust it down fiercely.
The sharp blade swept through the air, cut off a strand of soft hair, and stabbed into the woman's neck.
The woman with a delicate face lay on her back, looking at the male protagonist wearing a delicate mechanical mask, and suddenly said: "We are compatriots."
"No, you are a monster."
The male protagonist was wearing a mask, and his expression could not be seen.
He turned the long knife horizontally, pointed the sharp blade at the woman's neck, and pressed it down fiercely.
But at the moment the knife was pressed down.
The screen went black.
Then.
Accompanied by the exciting music,
the title "Witch" slowly appeared.
The promotional video... just ended like this.
Just like this... ended?
Gu Zhiyi opened his mouth slightly, a little confused.
After a long time, he reacted.
...Ah?
