squeak - ah -
With a harsh friction sound, the door slowly opened.
The next second, what appeared in front of Mr. Zai was a cold living room filled with cages and a large number of sundries.
The ground is a large deep red carpet.
Under the wall were two rusty cages covered with rags.
It seemed that something had been imprisoned inside, so several similarly rusty metal chains were discarded and ignored.
The entire living room is large, and the only light source is a vertical table lamp placed in the corner, which is slightly bright.
At this time, the doctor controlled by Mr. Zai spoke.
[Gotta refuel the generator. There's a broken down tractor in the east. Maybe there's still some oil in it. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm the problem of insufficient oil, the standing lamp in the corner of the living room suddenly flickered twice, bringing a touch of depression to the surrounding dead environment.
However, Mr. Zai ignored it.
Because now he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
"I'm super!"
"Brothers! So awesome! So awesome!"
"It's really immersive! I really entered the world of the dark forest!"
In his excitement, Zai Zong pressed the remote sensor and started looking around in the messy living room like a curious baby.
"Mad! I have played the original version of "Dark Forest" for two weeks, and I am very familiar with the doctor's house in the new level in this prologue!"
"Imagine that a very familiar game suddenly changes you from a God's-down perspective to the first-person perspective now, and everything else remains the same, that kind of freshness, and that kind of slightly strange feeling. The feeling is beyond description!”
Mr. Zai picked up an iron chain from the ground. From the VR perspective, the brass rust on it was clearly visible.
And under the light of the corner table lamp, the texture is highlighted and extremely refined!
Even the clanking sound of metal sounds real!
Mr. Zai was once again shocked by the unique feature of the game, namely the freedom of 'you can take anything'.
blurted out immediately.
"His grandma's, the features have not been lost, the features of VR games have not been..."
[This chain...can't tie him...]
...
Mr. Zai:...?
The doctor's sudden words interrupted Mr. Zai, leaving him stunned for a moment.
In the VR, he looked down at the rusty iron chain in his hand, and then at the cage near Chi Chi, with confusion on his face.
He has played the original game, completed it twice, and watched the walkthrough video.
Know all the details and plot of the game.
However, now in the VR version, he has some doubts.
because...
Is this line in the original game...?
Mr. Zai tried his best to recall and found that this line was not in his memory.
That...
In that case...
Is this the first difference between the VR version and the original version?
Mr. Zai sensed something remotely and dropped the chain.
In my mind, I recalled the doctor's lines just now again.
'...Can't tie him down...'
Could this 'him'... mean...
Mr. Zai turned his head slightly and looked at a room near the cage.
That door is closed.
Above, there is a combination lock.
From the VR perspective, he could clearly see that there was a pool of dried blood underneath the room.
It seems that unimaginable bloody events have happened before...
but...
Anyone who has played the original game knows that this locked room is actually imprisoned by an NPC named 'Mr. Jun'.
Mr. Jun has a sister named 'Ms. Pretty'.
Due to the sudden change in the forest, Ms. Qiao's body became bloated and her limbs became tapered. She lay in bed all day long, unable to move, and lost her ability to live.
The doctor tried treatment, but it didn't work, and fled the village to save his life.
So, Mr. Jun left the village, found the doctor's residence in the forest, and settled the score with him.
Then...
Mr. Jun was locked up by the doctor.
The blood splattered on the ground also showed the violence between Mr. Jun and the doctor at that time.
However, Zai always knows.
After switching to the real protagonist in the prologue, he has to fight this Mr. Jun...
In other words, the boss in the prologue is Mr. Jun...
Mr. Zai sensed something remotely and walked forward, arriving at the code-locked door.
Reach out and push.
Suddenly, the doctor spoke again.
[It's better not to open the door... I spent a lot of money to keep it inside...]
[It's not...I tried...tried...]
These two lines made Mr. Zai stunned again.
The first line of dialogue was one that existed in the original game.
But in the second line, Zai can always use his cousin Huanhuan as a bet, which was definitely not possible before!
This is another newly added line, and it is closely related to the plot!
Only those who have played the original version will know what the doctor means by 'tried'.
That's what he was trying to do to heal the villagers!
However, human power could not resist the supernatural force, so he fled in confusion.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t played the original version, many games are full of such seemingly inconsistent lines.
Players have long been accustomed to it and don't think about it in detail, they just play and it's done.
"Brothers...there are new lines...I know the VR version definitely has a lot of new things compared to the original version, but I didn't expect the prologue to start."
"Okay, forgive me for my short-sightedness. I thought the prologue would be copied exactly from the original version, with the most minor changes."
"I didn't expect that the difference between the two versions of the game already starts with the lines in the prologue. I don't know what the differences will be with the original version."
"Come on, brothers, I will take you to explore the house first, and then go out to find the real protagonist!"
"It's a pity that there is no Desert Eagle. We will have to wait until it is officially released tomorrow before we can get such a weapon."
After Mr. Zai finished speaking, he began to control the doctor to explore the house.
Since it was a prologue and it was the doctor's own house, he knew that it was a 'safe period' and there would be no danger.
And this house can be explored twice.
When exploring as a doctor for the first time, the boxes containing weapons cannot be opened, nor can the doors containing secrets.
When exploring with the real protagonist for the second time, doors and boxes that could not be opened before can be opened, and the props inside can be obtained.
Mr. Zai was curious about the scene environment of the VR version of "Dark Forest", so he rummaged through the boxes in the house and found a lot of good things.
But he understood that after switching the protagonist later, these collected 'materials' would be returned to their original positions and used by the real protagonist.
】
Now it's nothing more than letting players get familiar with the search for supplies.
Moreover, the main purpose of the game allowing the player to control the doctor to explore the house first is to allow the player to find some documents about the doctor himself.
For example, a document called 'Medical Notes'.
When Mr. Zai found it on the bookcase, an open book page suddenly appeared on the screen.
It was full of so-called doctors' 'special handwriting' that he couldn't understand.
Then, there are some uncomfortable case photos.
Apparently it was taken by the doctor himself.
On the left side of the book, there are two black and white photos of two foreign women with different appearances.
The woman in the first photo had an ulcer on her cheek, and several small, strange mushrooms sprouted out of her flesh, covering her entire face.
The woman in the second photo is in worse condition. Her eyes have been replaced by two large mushrooms, and unknown plant tentacles have grown out of her nostrils, which are close to the skin and twisting.
Because the picture was so beautiful, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately felt uncomfortable and started commenting on it.
"Made, this is so disgusting. Can this still be called shame?"
"Stop it! These two photos are going to send me away!"
"Mr. Zai, what on earth did I do to make you treat me like this? Can't I change it!?"
"The whole face is rotten, and there are dense little mushrooms growing out of the flesh. It's so disgusting..."
"Oh my god, my eyes have been replaced by mushrooms. Can I still walk? No, is this still a human being?"
"Suddenly it feels like the original version is better...at least it's not so intuitive..."
Mr. Zai glanced at the barrage, quickly closed the medical notes, and coughed twice.
"Ah, I'm sorry, brothers, I didn't expect the VR version to have such detailed case pictures. I will pay attention next time so as not to make everyone uncomfortable."
"Okay, brothers, there's nothing to explore in the house. Anyway, the real exploration won't be until the protagonist changes, so let's go out and find the real protagonist now!"
After saying that, Mr. Zai controlled the doctor to come to the door.
Reach out and push gently.
With a melodious creaking sound, the door opened.
The next second, a whimpering sound sounded from outside the house.
