In front of Brother HJon is a closed house building.
It looks simple and unremarkable.
No matter which direction you look at it, you will just think it is an ordinary small house.
Except for the company sign in front of the main entrance.
The traces of assembly and construction of the entire house are very obvious, and people can tell at a glance that this is an exhibitor's booth, but unlike other companies' open booths, it is closed.
On the front of the house is a huge metal sign.
'The Only Game'
Below it, a biochemical isolation channel with a white inflatable shed is arranged.
It's like an isolation scene.
Next to it, there is an advertising display stand with an English sentence on it.
'Dead Space'
Obviously, this is a promotional venue for The Only Game game company.
But that’s not what surprised HJon. What really surprised him was that there was a long queue in front of the booth!
Under the scorching sun, the people lining up were flushed with heat.
But even so, the anticipation on their faces was still very obvious.
People at the front of the team entered the biochemical isolation channel in groups of two or three under the guidance of a staff member wearing white protective clothing.
At the exit on the other side of the room type exhibition stand, someone walked out of it with excitement.
What makes these people work so hard?
game? Periphery? show?
Brother HJon doesn’t know, but judging from the size of the booth in front of him, it must be something very attractive!
The trial area is 100% inside!
"Oh My God, can anyone tell me what's going on here? What is Dead Space!? A new game?"
The guy exaggeratedly acted knowingly in front of the camera. He walked around the queue with a portable microphone and found that there were really many people.
Although some people turned away because they saw a queue, new people would soon join the queue.
And almost no one complained about it.
"Excuse me, do you know what you are doing in line?"
Brother HJon stepped forward, caught a woman wearing sunglasses, and started interviewing her.
The photographer who was traveling with her also pointed the camera at her, leaving her at a loss for a moment.
But the girl in sunglasses quickly adjusted her expression and smiled.
"Sorry?"
The little brother smiled at the camera and repeated the question just now.
After hearing this, the girl in sunglasses answered without thinking.
"Oh, I heard from a friend that there is a horror house here that is similar to an amusement park, and there is also a trial area for horror games. He said that you have to go through the horror house first before you can experience that game. You know, I'm here I've never seen anything like this at E3, so I'm very curious and it's very interesting to me."
After the girl in sunglasses finished speaking, she followed the team and walked forward for a certain distance.
It can be seen that although there are many people queuing, there is also a lot of liquidity.
Brother HJon nodded and asked again.
"So do you know what the game is and what it is that you will experience?"
The girl in sunglasses shook her head, but she still pointed to the sign on the top of the small house.
"I'm not sure, but it says Dead Space. So I think that's the name of the game, but I don't know what it means or how to play it."
"Then do you know the game company The Only Game?"
The girl in sunglasses shook her head again in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry that I don't know. Although I like playing games, I don't pay attention to the companies that develop games. I think you also understand that some game production and publishing are different companies. Many people only know the game publisher. Not the production team. So it’s not something that’s memorable to me.”
After a pause, the girl in sunglasses continued to speak.
"But I know this is a Chinese game company, and I heard they are very advanced in the field of VR."
"Have you tried other works from this company?"
The girl in sunglasses hummed a few times and smiled.
"Sorry, no. But I saw my boyfriend playing a VR horror game. After seeing him being scared, I didn't plan to play it myself. In fact, I personally prefer playing racing games, which don't take much time."
Brother HJon said he understood.
"So how do you feel about experiencing Dead Space next?"
The girl in sunglasses grinned.
"I was very excited. I heard from my friends that it was a PC game, and there were so many people here, so I thought I should give it a try. After all, this is my first time playing a horror game."
"OK, thank you for the interview."
"You're welcome."
As the interview ended, the team moved forward again.
Brother HJon interviewed a few more people, and the answers he got were that they were very excited and wanted to experience it.
But they don’t know much about this game company from China, and they hope to get to know this amazing company that specializes in VR horror games through this game.
Although the little brother emphasized that "Control Failure" and "Sky Mountain" were also made by this company, except for some people who suddenly realized it, most people still didn't understand.
Afterwards, HJon stood in front of the camera next to the team and summarized the interview.
"OK, through interviews with several friends, we are very curious and looking forward to the game Dead Space."
"What magic power does it have that can attract so many people to come and experience it?"
"What is there in this huge architectural exhibition stand? Come and line up with me to witness it."
After finishing speaking, Brother HJon took the photographer to the end of the line and started to line up in an orderly manner.
Although the queue is long and people keep joining.
But the turnover of personnel was also very large, so the team did not stop for long.
About 20 minutes later, it was HJon’s turn.
At this time, they stood in front of the protective passage, full of interest.
The staff member wearing biochemical protective clothing waited for a moment, then seemed to receive some news, smiled at the two of them, and opened the zipper door.
"Have a nice day."
The staff member said with a smile and handed over a flashlight.
Brother HJon nodded his thanks after taking it, and walked in with the photographer.
"I originally thought that filming was not allowed inside, but after asking, the staff said it didn't matter. Oh, this is really great. It would be a shame if you in front of the screen can't come and experience it."
In the protective tunnel, HJon used a portable microphone to explain while walking.
"This time they only let me and the photographer George in, and gave me a flashlight. It looks like it will be very dark inside. I am looking forward to it more and more now."
HJon gradually stopped, and at the same time, he swallowed the words that originally came to his lips.
"Oh shit"
The little brother suddenly exploded.
In front of the two of them was a dark entrance with a missing door.
There were several torn yellow isolation seals attached to the door edges on the left and right sides.
Countless dark red dried bloody fingerprints were all over the wall next to the door, making it a mess.
Several mutilated corpses and pieces of flesh were still scattered on the ground, revealing danger and terror.
It was simply a murder scene!
HJon looked at the dark hole with no door in front of him, like a strange dark abyss, waiting for prey to enter.
It seems peaceful, but the broken corpses and protective passages show that it is definitely not safe inside.
Gradually, HJon felt a little chill down his spine.
"Interesting, to be honest, this entrance really scared me just now."
"Can you in front of the camera see the torn isolation strips, bloodstains, props and broken corpses? Does it look like a murder scene in a private house?"
Brother HJon stepped forward and kicked the 'corpse fragments' with his feet.
Sure enough, it's not true.
Although it looks bloody here, there is no fishy smell.
Some have only the smell of dust.
"This is so interesting. No wonder everyone who has gone in has a satisfied expression. I think I should also have a wonderful experience."
After HJon finished speaking, he waved towards the camera. Then he turned on the flashlight and walked into the entrance of the black cave.
The photographer took a deep breath, but when he saw the anchors entering, he had no choice but to follow.
Just as he walked past the pile of 'corpse fragments', there was a sharp scream, which frightened HJon who had just walked a few steps away. He screamed "What" and then shook his flashlight nervously.
At this time, as the photographer entered, the setting of the horror house also came into view, which was transmitted to the netizens in the YouTube live broadcast room through the lens.
It looks like a narrow facility passage with a bit of industrialization and old science fiction.
The walls on both sides were made of rusted metal, and thick white steam spewed out from the gaps from time to time.
Under its feet is a road made of metal mesh and metal plates that looks like a maintenance room. When you step on it, you can make a unique friction sound.
In a corner not far away, there were several broken pipes that had been randomly discarded.
It looks like a scene similar to an industrial maintenance channel.
Coupled with the dark red blood stains all over the metal wall, HJon felt inexplicably depressed.
Especially the dim light from the top, and the electric lights that kept flickering as if they were about to malfunction and go out at any moment.
Adding a sense of crisis to the already narrow maintenance channel, it seems that murderous intentions are hidden everywhere.
Brother HJon was even blinded by the electric light, and he couldn't even see the road clearly.
But this did not scare him, but made him eager to try.
"The industrial setting is really strong. I think Dead Space must be very important to The Only Game."
"It must have taken a lot of effort to build such a horror house at E3. No other company has done this, but they did it. It can be seen that they have great confidence in this game."
"I hope they succeed, I think this trip to the house of horrors will be fun."
Brother HJon smiled and walked forward with a flashlight on.
The camera photography behind him also followed suit.
As a result, as soon as they took two steps, another sharp and strange scream made them stop and be alert again.
HJon quickly shined his flashlight back and forth, but everything was normal and nothing happened.
"Hey, George, there shouldn't be any staff here jumping out to scare us, right?"
The photographer was also frightened by this strange sound just now, and he was told twice in succession that it was an extremely sharp and terrifying sound that was not capable of being made by humans.
"Maybe…"
After HJon's vigilance failed, he moved forward again. The narrow and dim passage with flickering lights made the two of them a little frightened every step of the way.
"To be honest, the flashing lights made me feel very uneasy and depressed. I always felt like something would jump out and attack us."
HJon spoke half-jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.
And photographer George also spoke.
"If there is, it must be the staff. I hope they will be merciful. Or scare you first, and then scare me. After all, I am holding a mobile phone to broadcast live."
"Hei! Aren't we good friends! To be honest, I don't want to stay here anymore. This horror house shouldn't last long. It's better if we walk a little faster and leave early."
"You are right, my friend."
The photographer paused and continued to speak.
"Although I understand that this is a set decoration for the game company, it is still a bit unsettling for the two of us."
Brother HJon nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the two of them quickened their pace, thinking of rushing through here to experience the game.
But the broken corpses scattered along the way and the large blood stains on the wall still stimulated their senses, and became more and more permeable.
"This shouldn't be real blood."
Photographer George curiously moved the camera closer to the wall to take a look, and made a clear sniffing sound.
"What are you doing, you're actually smelling it. Oh my god, of course this isn't real blood."
"Okay, follow me, let's leave quickly."
After HJon finished speaking, he walked forward.
But this house of horrors was obviously not a straight path, so he quickly came to the corner at the end of the passage.
Suddenly, his expression froze and he froze on the spot.
"Oh My God"
The photographer stepped forward out of curiosity and asked him what was wrong.
As a result, the camera turned and what HJon saw was also shown to netizens on YouTube.
"What The Hell"
In front of the corner entrance is a thick fog that floods the entire industrial passage.
It is filled with chaos and rolling forward.
Like a wall, blocking the middle of the passage.
"Oh, God. Are we going to get through this fog."
HJon raised the flashlight to see if it could penetrate, but obviously he couldn't.
"HJon, this is just a fog. Think about it, so many people passed by and everyone else was fine. This may just be used to heighten the atmosphere."
Photographer George said.
Because, while they were lining up, many people had already entered the house of horror, which meant that those people had also passed through the diffuse fog.
Now it's their turn, how can they be afraid?
After hearing this, Brother HJon scratched his head.
"Of course I understand, and I'm not scared either. It's just that the fog in this environment surprised me."
"Okay, it's okay anyway, let's go."
HJon took the lead and plunged into the diffuse fog.
Photography followed closely and walked in.
Suddenly, the lens became blurry.
The thick mist enveloped the two of them, making the already dim light appear even more hazy and blurry.
Coupled with the constant flickering of the electric lights, the two of them seemed to be blinded, and even subconsciously stretched out their hands to fumble, as if they wanted to push away the clouds.
"OMG, the fog is so thick, I can't see anything."
"Me too, but I can see you HJon."
"OK, then follow me closely, otherwise it will be bad if you get lost."
"I'm a little wet and my hair is full of water beads."
"Me too, man."
HJon tugged at his clothes that were wet from the fog and continued to explore the path forward.
But it was at this time that a sudden change occurred.
The sharp scream from before sounded again, making the two people in the mist tremble.
"WTF! Here we go again!"
But this time, the two encountered more than just sounds...
The next second, a dragging and crawling sound suddenly came from the ventilation duct above. The movement was so loud that it was deafening in the narrow maintenance channel.
It seemed that the thing crawling inside was large and fast.
But soon, the sound passed through the pipe and gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Everything happened in an instant.
Because of the fog, HJon and George didn't even have time to react, and the alarm passed.
In panic, they quickly shined flashlights on the spot.
"OMG, something just climbed up here. Is it a staff member?"
The photographer on the side shook his head after hearing this.
"Maybe it's sound effects or cats and dogs, something the game company wants to scare us with."
HJon paused, then exhaled heavily.
"I hate this sudden shock."
"Me too, man."
HJon continued to speak while clearing the fog and moving forward.
"Will the scenery here be the scene in the game? Will it appear in the game?"
"Maybe, maybe it's the game scene restored by the game company."
Brother HJon nodded.
"In this case, I think I will be looking forward to this game. Because I want to experience this repair pass in the game..."
Before he finished speaking, in the thick fog, a very hidden corpse clinging to the wall suddenly fell down and hung on HJon's body when he passed by.
In the footage, netizens on YouTube only saw a figure that suddenly appeared in front of the hazy fog and 'attacked' another figure.
Then
"F——u——c——k——!!!! Youuuuuuuu——!!!"
Brother HJon was so frightened that he yelled and fell to the ground while dancing, and the corpse hanging on his body also fell on him.
Suddenly, the only thing left in the entire maintenance tunnel was the little brother's miserable roar.
"GEORGE—!! HELP ME!! GEORGE! GEORGE!!"
The photographer quickly came to his senses and realized that it was a prop.
Just as he was about to step forward, a door suddenly opened in the wall in the mist.
Then a terrifying monster with bloody flesh, hands like curved scythes, and stumps and rags hanging all over its body rushed out from inside.
It said 'Sorry' while trying to step forward to help HJon.
The sudden appearance of the monster stunned the photographer.
HJon, who fell to the ground, was already extremely frightened. Now he saw a terrifying monster charging toward him in the fog with its sickle-like arms stretched out. He was frightened on the spot.
“Noooooooooooo——!!!”
Outside the House of Horrors, the next group of tourists waiting to enter could vaguely hear the scream.
Suddenly, they were even more looking forward to it.
