Chapter 78 Don’t look back
However, upon turning around, I discovered...
That black wall with the word "Dead End" written on it was right in front of me!
This startled her, and she turned her head again, only to see that the mummified corpse was already several meters away from her.

She then realized that, in the blink of an eye, she had been transported to the starting point of the passage.

On the wall next to it, the inexplicable "0/14" remained.

"Goodness, so that's what 'don't look back' means."

"If I turn around, I'll be transported back to the starting point, right? Then I just won't turn around, won't I?"

After understanding why she turned back, Yingyingguai mustered her courage and walked towards the other end of the passage.

Along the way, a ring was found on the doctor's mummified body.

It was none other than the [Developer Permissions] ring mentioned in the diary!
The whimpering monster immediately felt like it had found a treasure and quickly put it on.

But nothing happened; the surroundings remained deathly silent.

Perhaps the ring's function hasn't been discovered yet?
After this little incident, she quickly walked through the passage and arrived at the end.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's not that difficult. It's just about not looking back. It's too simple."

"As long as it's not a ghost or monster suddenly appearing in my face, even someone as timid as me can play horror games."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and entered.

The next second, she froze.

Because behind the door, there was still that same passageway!

It was exactly the same as the one she had just walked through, the same length, the same layout.

Even the mummified corpse was still sitting there.

"Ugh, it's a loop again?"

Yingying was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, this kind of tactic reminded her of bad memories.

She had already experienced it in the "Village Corpse Episode" of "The Weird Videotape".

At the time, it was the first time she had played such a high-quality horror game, and she didn't know how to break the corridor loop, which made her very anxious and wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, with the help of the comments, we were able to go back and break the loop.

But should we turn back here too?
But the diary said not to look back.

The whimpering monster suppressed its curiosity to turn around and look.

Then, she suddenly noticed that the numbers on the wall had changed.

It became: 1/14.

This made her suddenly realize something.

"I see, family, I understand."

"The number increases by 1 every time you go through the passage. It seems that it is not an infinite loop, but a counting loop. It should take 14 times to complete."

"Goodness, I have reason to suspect that this is a deliberate attempt to drag out online time."

Having understood the gameplay mechanics here, Yingying Monster raised her eyebrows and headed towards the iron gate at the other end of the passage.

At that moment, a prominent message appeared: 30 yuan.

It reads: "It can't be that simple. There's definitely something wrong with this passage, otherwise that doctor wouldn't have died here. His body is a warning!"
Another eye-catching message for 20 yuan popped up immediately afterward.

Content: How could O5 possibly make such a boring walking simulator? There must be a big problem here. I can't wait to see you cry from fright.

After seeing these two comments, Yingyingguai spat and roared, thinking they made sense.

So she became extremely alert, focused, and cautious as she walked carefully toward the iron gate of the passage.

The second attempt went smoothly.

Number: 2/14.

The third time, let's begin.

With a hint of nervousness, Yingyingguai pushed open the rusty iron gate and stepped into the familiar passage.

The surroundings remained deathly silent, with only the sound of her own footsteps echoing in the empty space, sounding particularly clear and jarring.

An eerie melody gradually rises, foreshadowing impending danger.
Just as she reached the middle of the passage.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from behind!
Accompanying this was a low, guttural roar, like the howl of a demon!
Fear surged up instantly, and the whimpering monster's fur stood on end!
She screamed in surprise and instinctively turned around.
The result was nothing but a black wall.

And the number next to it has also changed back to 0/14.
The whining monster:
"Holy crap! Production team, you're a bunch of idiots!"

"You actually tried to trick me into turning back like that? Screw you!"

The viewers in the live stream immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Who was it that said it was easy? Look what happened."

"O5 is awesome! It can easily break the whining monster's composure with just a little noise."

"This level is interesting! It seems like it's a loop where you just keep going back, and you have to outsmart the developers and never give up."

"This is hilarious! I can't wait to see what other surprises they'll come up with!"

"Hurry, hurry, Tyrannomon, stop dawdling and charge!" Yingyingmon looked at the zeroed-out numbers on the wall, took a deep breath, and said confidently.

"Fine! This time I will never turn back. No matter what sounds come from behind me, or what comes running towards me, I will never turn back, even if it means my death!"

"If I turned back, I would eat this virtual pod right there and then post my own photos on Weibo."

Upon hearing this, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

"Holy crap! Take a screenshot! Don't let her cheat!"

"Family members, the evidence is all preserved! We're just waiting to present it in court."

"Trying to freeload, huh? If you want to post photos, just say so. You're really something, playing tricks on the older guys even though you're so close to them. Honestly."

"Shut up, all of you!" the whining monster roared, stepping back into the passage.

First pass, safe, number: 1/14.

Second time, safe, number: 2/14.

"Victory is within reach, family."

"I feel like I have a chance this time."

As she spoke, on the third attempt, the whining monster pushed open the iron gate, and just as she poked half her body inside, her pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a constipated expression.

In the very center of the passage, the mummified corpse that had been sitting against the wall was now hanging high up with a rope around its neck.

Like a broken wind chime, it spins and sways, casting a hideous and distorted shadow.

"It's over. They're after me."

"Dog...dog producer..."

The little monster's teeth chattered, and it dared not approach.

The dog producer is using this kind of malicious psychological intimidation again.

Turning back means certain death, but moving forward means passing under this hanged ghost!
It's obvious they're using this terrifying scene to force her to give up, to instill fear in her, to force her... to turn back!
"Now I'm really in a dilemma, family members, waaaaah, sob sob sob."

But then, she stomped her foot hard, as if to trample the fear underfoot.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"It's just a background NPC! Hmph, I'll charge right over there!"

After saying that, she was about to rush forward in one go.
pat-

The rope that hanged the ghost broke!
The mummified corpse, like a puppet without its strings, crashed heavily to the ground with a muffled thud.

The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible, kicking up a cloud of choking dust.

The whining monster immediately bristled and slammed on the brakes.

Thank goodness, we almost launched ourselves into the lion's den.
However, before she could catch her breath, the desiccated corpse lying on the ground suddenly twitched!
Then, like a deformed spider, dragging its broken body and severed rope, it crawled over quickly! Its speed was eerily fast!

"Fuck you!!!"

The whimpering monster was so frightened that it jumped up!
Without a second thought, she spun around 180 degrees and used every ounce of her strength to escape.

Boom-! ! !
Then he slammed his head against the hard, cold wall.

The excellent physics effect even bounced her off and made her fall to the ground.

But she ignored the pain and tried to get up using both her hands and feet.

He kept screaming, "Damn it, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer, you bastard!!"

When I turned around, there was no crawling mummy at all.

Everything in the passageway before us was normal, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Only the numbers on the wall relentlessly changed back to: 0/14.

The whimpering monster remained slumped on the ground, looking back in terror, frozen in place for a full three seconds.

Then the defenses were breached.

"Aaaaaah! This producer is messing with me! I'm not done with you!!!"

The live stream room was already filled with "hahahahahaha".

"A second time! Oh, you little rascal, not only did you turn back, but you also hit a brick wall, hahaha."

"Stop it, Greymon, you can't beat the producer!"

"Hands in my pockets, quietly waiting for the whiny girl's photoshoot."

"You know what, I've seen pictures of Yingyingguai before, she's practically my goddess!"

Seeing everyone's teasing, Yingyingguai took a deep breath.

"Come on! I refuse to believe I can't get through here!"

"Let's charge down the Shu Road with renewed vigor!"

Soon, not long after, another terrified scream came from the live stream.
