Chapter 102 doesn’t seem very scary?
Enter "Xun Yu"

[My name is Xun Yu. When you see this, I will be dead...]

[Liaozhai Master: I have noted your name.]

As soon as I entered my name, and the game hadn't officially started yet, I felt that it seemed different from what I had imagined:
"What does this opening feel like..."

It's a bit weird...but, don't show your fear!
So, without showing any sign of panic, he said with full energy, "It feels so tasteful!"

"The sense of immersion is also very strong. Although previous movie games and other horror games also used the first-person perspective, the sense of immersion is completely inferior to the first generation of Yuxuan, which used stealth technology."

'Is it really that awesome?'

'Is the anchor a shill?'

"Although the live broadcast room feels very real, the actual experience is much better than the screen. I have queued up offline to experience the fidelity of what I said."

At this point, the game has officially begun, and the writing on the human skin paper disappears.

Then, the phone rang, but when it was connected, it was busy. After a period of noise, it gradually became clear:

[…Hello, Investigator Xun Yu, are you still alive?]

It sounds like Mr. Gu's voice, but it's also ambiguous. It can say Xun Yu... Is it the voice trained by AI?
After this first impression passed, Gou Tong realized that this question was really stupid. Of course, "I" am alive.

If I die, who will answer the phone, a ghost?

...Wait a minute, I remember Wu Mengyou who was made into a human skin doll in the previous promotional PV without knowing it.

Also, when I first customized my name, the words on the human skin paper felt...

Hard to say.

After a second of hesitation, he replied:
[Mr. Gu, I'm not dead, probably]

As I replied, the surrounding scene became clearer and I found myself in a bathroom.

Is this the protagonist's birthplace? Is it too late to change his name to Zhang Wei?

I subconsciously washed my hands in the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

Gou Tong took a deep breath. The stench in the toilet was so real.

How did you create this flavor?

It's impossible that they really use helmets to spray stinky smells in reality, so what kind of brain waves are used to simulate it?

Well, the principle is similar. Of course, it is impossible to really let the player's nose smell the smell. It just simulates a signal to the player's brain that you smell a bad odor.

This feeling is adjusted according to a basic sensory template and then optimized by the system. If it is replaced with an unoptimized version, the taste may be more different. The basic infiltration technology of Youxuan's first generation cannot achieve 100% simulation.

[So you're not dead, then get to work quickly...]

The "Mr. Gu" on the other side of the phone didn't seem to have any doubts and immediately gave the player an order:
[Listen, newbie, this is your first mission in Hell Apartment. The danger level is relatively low. You are responsible for discovering its secrets. Do you remember your mission?]

Gou Tong felt like he had skipped some plot, but no, he didn't see any option to skip it. "Me? Mission, investigation?"

[Yes, it seems you still remember that you need to investigate this building and find the secret]

Gou Tong felt a little dizzy and finally decided to just give up.

Many horror games give very little information in advance, and this game doesn't seem to have any particularly dark ability to directly instill memories. Who cares whether I understand it or not? Maybe I will understand it as I play.

Open the bathroom door and stick your head out.

Huh?
It feels familiar. Have I been here before?
here it is?
At this moment, I heard a voice that I thought belonged to Mr. Gu continue to remind me: [You've already started moving? You didn't even ask me for more information.]

[Newcomer, your courage is commendable. In that case, I won't keep you here. I'll just send you the mission briefing.]

Huh? So I'm supposed to ask my own questions?
Gou Tong looked at his phone again, and received some prompts——

[Optional Task] [1. Face the weirdness]

[2. Discover the strange pattern of murder and leave intelligence]

3. Walk through the entire building

【4. Find out the strange hidden secrets】

[5. What is in the bathroom at the highest point of this building?]

[As a trainee investigator, you can choose to return to Hell Apartment by completing any mission]

[You can recover in the bathroom. The power of the apartment protects some special places.]

[Don't worry too much about your life safety, you are already dead]

[According to known information, this spooky creature has a name. It belongs to the three common types of spooky creatures: nature spirits, object spirits, and resentful spirits. It possesses a certain level of intelligence. Its name is 'Zhongzhi'. It seems to be a former employee of this building, but not for a long time. It may know some secrets about the Ghost King Gu Ritian.]

[He is not cruel and is not particularly dangerous in the weirdness, but he is very smart. You can try to provoke him and let him kill you to learn the rules.]

[Remember, your life is not as valuable as intelligence]

Gou Tong then realized the source of the familiar feeling: "This is You Xuan's old headquarters. I've been here for a visit. The top floor is the president's office."

"By the way, wasn't Zhong Zhi the genius designer of Yugen II? I heard he was involved in the development of this game too, but they ended up putting themselves into the game. What a bad taste."

As for the protagonist dying, it's not that uncommon in horror games.

But the most worthy of complaint is that Mr. Gu's father, Gu Ritian, was added to the game and turned into a ghost king. Is this also a tribute? Is Big Brother Ritian always living in Youxuan's game?

If combined with the promotional video, perhaps we can see Mr. Gu fighting against old Mr. Gu in the later stages of the game?
It's too hellish. If you laugh at this time, your merits will definitely be deducted.

The comments in the live broadcast room were also difficult to hold back:
"You Xuan is really like that. He doesn't spare anyone, living or dead."

'Isn't that a bit unfilial?'

"Everyone knows that Mr. Gu is a very filial son. He also loved to make fun of things when he was alive. Maybe this is how Mr. Gu expresses filial piety. As long as he keeps appearing in the game, no one will forget him, just like everyone will never forget Uncle Ying after watching a zombie movie."

You can also see the comments from outside. This is a self-set option, anchor mode.

It will destroy the immersion to a certain extent, but I hope the game is not too scary.

It was pitch black outside. Gou Tong turned on the flashlight in the game, looking brave:

"Come on! What can a little Zhongzhi do to me? I will severely suppress him today!"

Zhongzhi's appearance was very confusing to Queshi. Knowing that he was the evil ghost in the company, Goutong also felt that the horror part of this game was probably just for show.

He was already thinking about the next task.

Which missions will have cute female ghosts and fox spirit ladies?
Just as I thought this, the door in the distance suddenly opened with a creak, and a small figure flashed by.

There seemed to be a chuckle in my ear.

Turning around, there was nothing.

and many more?

With this routine, if I turn around at this time, won’t he be right in front of me?

I prepared myself mentally and looked back, but there was still no one there, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

【What are you looking at? 】

……

 Ke Jie is one step away from becoming the ninth champion
