—A diary covered in scribbles and dust.

Day 1.

I am (crossed out) Dr., the principal investigator of Möbius.

In response to the recent mass disappearances, we have discovered that it was caused by a mobile game called "MiSide".

In order to study how this game makes people disappear, we "purchased" a large number of civilians from different social classes around the world for experiments.

Without exception, they all disappeared into thin air half an hour after playing the game.

The surveillance video did not capture any disappearance process, and the thermal imaging also lost the target instantly.

We don’t know exactly what force could make an adult weighing nearly 70 kilograms disappear instantly, but one of the test subjects said something before disappearing.

"The game character wants to meet him."

Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the experimenters entered a virtual world.

To verify my hypothesis, I decided to try out the game myself and conduct research.

If my guess is correct, once the characteristics of this game are deciphered, it may be possible to further improve the company's "Happy Town Project".

After reading this first diary entry, Yingyingguai suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't quite place what it was.

So she continued reading.

Day 2.

I successfully entered the world of "MiSide".

It's truly amazing; it's hard to imagine that such a dimensional space exists within the real world.

Through experimentation, I discovered that a single mobile phone can only allow one person to enter the virtual world.

Moreover, once you enter, you will be assigned a virtual character named "Mita".

After asking around, I learned that there are many "Mita"s, and their number is infinite.

Each time a player enters a game, a unique "Mita" and "Mita Hut" will be generated.

Furthermore, the entire virtual world contains only one type of human, "Mita," and there are no other people or scenes.

In addition, these "Mitas," whether due to their design or something else, are extremely dependent on their respective players, even a 60-year-old man like me.

Preliminary conclusion: There must be some kind of program or collective consciousness controlling these "Mita".

Upon seeing this, Yingying Monster's eyes widened slightly.

"What?! Every time a player joins, a unique Mita and house are generated?"

"And the number of Mitas is infinite?"

"My goodness, the setting of this dating sim is quite different from what I imagined!"

The whimpering monster was somewhat dazed at this moment.

In previous dating games, which one didn't involve the male protagonist going to great lengths to navigate between several female protagonists and supporting female characters with distinct personalities?

Give gifts, choose dialogue options, trigger special events, increase your affection level, and finally win the heart of your beloved and walk hand in hand into the hall of marriage.

Interspersed throughout are some blush-inducing and heart-pounding interactions.

This is the Galgame she remembers.

Judging from this diary entry, the romance part of "Mita" seems to be closer to a utopian world.

The object is generated, and also allocated.

They immediately gained maximum favorability, saving the need for any strategy guide.

There are no rivals, no misunderstandings, no complicated family backgrounds, and no tragic past that needs saving.

There were no other characters or scenes; all actions were confined to the small house, which gave her the feeling that...
It's like a cage? And the kind that's there for people to watch.

Then, she suddenly remembered a scene in the gameplay demo where the protagonist entered a dark room.

There stood many Mitas, their faces covered.

At the time, she only felt the scene was a bit eerie and didn't pay much attention. But now, considering the contents of the diary…

These Mitas, were they made but not yet started?
So it's stored in a warehouse-like place?

The whimpering monster shuddered, not daring to think too much about it, and continued reading its diary.

However, what followed was increasingly alarming.

Day 6.

I spent six whole days researching at the "Mita Hut" and came up with nothing.

I tried to get "Mita" to be my assistant, but this virtual character can't do anything except act cute and playful.

She seems to only satisfy my emotional needs.

But I don't need these.

I suddenly became very curious: since "Mita" is generated, are the organs and flesh under her skin the same as those of a human, or is it a mechanical structure?
Day 7.

I successfully dissected "Mita," even though she was kneeling on the ground, begging me to let her go with tears in her eyes. But out of curiosity, I still did it.

It must be said that her body structure is quite interesting.

Just like humans, it has a brain, nerves, blood, flesh, organs, cells, and so on—everything is there.

But the skeleton is mechanical.

Furthermore, there were absolutely no signs of use on the stomach, esophagus, small and large intestines, etc.

In other words, this "Mita" doesn't need to use the toilet no matter how much she eats. Although she has sexual organs inside, they are decorative and cannot be used normally.

Similarly, it is impossible to conceive normally.

This made me even more curious: what kind of physical rules, or "generative system," could mass-produce female creatures with such strange structures?
Is this a characteristic of the virtual world, or some kind of advanced biotechnology?
If it's the latter, and I could get my hands on it, wouldn't I be able to create humans using metal and chunks of flesh?

In short, these "Mitas" are consumables and should not be treated as human beings.

Upon seeing this, the whiny girl was completely stunned.

The people in the live stream fell silent immediately, seemingly in disbelief.

That fair-skinned, beautiful, busty, and cute Mita was just dissected like that?!
The reason is simply out of curiosity?
Holy crap, is this researcher a psychopath?

"Born!"

"Mita is about as cute as me, how could you possibly hurt her?!"

"Birth! Don't these researchers have any feelings?"

As fellow women, Yingyingguai suddenly felt a sense of kinship.

"Family members, to be honest, I don't understand why Mita doesn't fight back."

“This 60-year-old woman was about to kill her, but she just sat there waiting to die, preferring to cry and beg for mercy rather than resist.”

"Could it be that an absolute obedience program was implanted during the generation process?"

"Then why was I moved, and why is my Mita in danger?"

The more Yingying Guai thought about it, the stranger it seemed; the plot was giving her a headache.

He shook his head and continued reading.

Day 9.

I left the "Mita Hut," and as I expected, the outside world was a digital world.

I was lucky enough to get a ring, but I don't know what it is. However, this ring allows me to move around outside the cabin.

Until I accidentally came across Mita's Hut in version 0.8.

Mita here told me that this ring is called "Developer Permissions".

Once you put it on, you become a bug, able to travel between different versions without becoming a data ghost.

The scenes between versions are called "unstable spaces," where the environment changes every second. If you don't wear the ring, you'll disappear into the massive data stream along with the scene in the next second.

What an interesting world.

The latest version of the game I played was 1.5.

I can access the lower versions of "Mita" that were forced to remain due to the upgrade.

Because the Mita here told me that all the older versions of Mita will be left behind as the game is upgraded.

The players who were once with them will receive a new Mita as they level up.

They themselves, as the "old version," remained in their Mita huts, living alone forever.

Day 11.

I found my research team, but they were all dead. They were attacked by a monster, and I almost died there too.

Fortunately, a player heard the commotion and came to my rescue.

He said his name was Amir and that he was an agent of the global relief organization GRE.

I entered the game by accident.

Upon hearing this, I immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

MiSide is not available on every phone; it appears randomly in the hands of users worldwide.

Therefore, anyone can enter this world without being restricted.

Now that people from GRE have come in, does that mean forces like Mukhkov and Umbrella have also come in?

Fortunately, my clothes didn't have the Möbius logo, so they wouldn't arouse suspicion.

And this Amir seems to be a brainless idiot.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the live stream were stunned.

They just spammed a lot of question marks (?) into the comments.

The whining girl was completely dumbfounded.

What's wrong with this group of people?
Why so many question marks?

"What happened? What's wrong with you guys?"

"Did you see something incredible? Or did I miss some important clue?"

When the viewers in the live stream saw that Yingying didn't understand, they all started to explain.

"No, don't you know Greymon? Mukov, Umbrella, and Mobius."

"When I first saw Möbius, I was a little confused. I felt like I had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. It wasn't until Mukhov appeared that I remembered that he was mentioned in the Ju-on arc."

"You whiny guy, didn't you play 'The Haunted Videotape'? The Village Corpse and Ju-on were created by this Mukoff company."

"Moreover, the protagonist of the Ju-on arc is an Umbrella agent."

"Wow, I thought 'Mita' was a completely new standalone story, but I didn't expect Mukov to appear. O5 is awesome! They have big ambitions!"

"I remember that both Mobius and GRE sent people to infiltrate Mukov, but they were all caught. Now the diary mentions GRE agents, and the diary was written by someone from Mobius. Goodness, I knew the plot of this game wasn't that simple."
