My game is depressing worldwide.

In the following prologue.

"Don't scream, don't scream..." Old Wei repeatedly warned himself.

I absolutely cannot lose face in front of these two girls!

Even if it's unbearable to hold it in!

In the prologue, the main storyline requires Lao Wei to complete a mission to destroy everything from the past, and then begin his trials as a "nameless and faceless" person.

Along the way, they destroyed personal belongings and files while evading the pursuit of the experimental subjects.

Finally, after completing the last task, Lao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you two finished the prologue quests? Why haven't you made any progress?"

"It's done. It was a bit scary. This BOSS seems a bit strange."

"I almost couldn't help but scream out loud. I even felt like the BOSS was being controlled by a player."

Finally, Sun Zhirui said hesitantly, "Just one more step, and we'll be in the safe room."

"Same here, our progress is about the same."

As soon as Lao Wei finished speaking, he felt as if the shadow of his character had been covered by something.

It was as if a colossal creature was standing behind me.

Old Wei silently chanted "Don't scream" and turned around.

A woman was standing behind him.

Well, you can only barely tell from her clothing style and long hair.

She was tall and obese, about 1.9 meters tall, and looked very intimidating.

Her clothes were in the style of everyday wear for women at Western University during the Cold War in the last century, but her face was particularly terrifying, not only deformed and distorted, but also covered in blurry, heavy makeup.

His messy, seaweed-like hair was gray on the sides and had very severe bald patches in the middle.

On the severed hand, there is a bird-shaped hand puppet named Dr. Ford, sewn together.

But hidden in the bird's beak was an electric drill, which it thrust towards Old Wei without hesitation.

The drill seemed to have drilled into the screen, spurting blood, and the game character let out screams.

Meanwhile, Sun Zhirui on the other side encountered almost the same situation.

Then, the alarm went off.

The piercing screams even made the live chat explode.

[Holy crap, Lao Wei, you scared me half to death!]

Watching horror livestreams isn't scary; what's scary are those cowardly streamers.

[Damn, I was so scared I spilled water on my keyboard!]

However, Lao Wei had no time to pay attention to the comments at this moment.

run!

That was the only thought.

The only way to escape is behind the terrifying BOSS, and there's clearly no way around it.

We can only circle around inside the building.

"It's okay, it's okay, brothers. You may think I'm scared, but I'm actually pretty calm."

With his heart pounding, Lao Wei controlled his character to navigate around a "回"-shaped terrain.

"If I just go around in circles here, I can shake off the boss... See! She lost me! AI is just AI, how can it be smarter than a player?"

Sure enough, after passing an intersection, the tense chase background music stopped.

Old Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Junior, how's it going on your end?"

"I'm going in circles too, I'll be in the safe room soon... Oh no!! She's waiting for me around the corner!!! Are you still an AI?! Don't chase me!!"

[Defense Penetration +2 detected from Sun Zhirui]

what? !

Are monster AIs really that intelligent?

Old Wei was stunned. He knew the player was planning to play in circles with it, yet he was still waiting for it to come to him at the corner.

He moved forward with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

He slowly peeked out, looking towards the seemingly dangerous corner.

Is nobody here?

Old Wei had just breathed a sigh of relief when...

Suddenly, a jumping sound came from above.

Bang, bang, snap, snap.

Old Wei had just looked up.

boom!!

A loud crash came from the ceiling, followed by a blood-stained bird's beak plunging down, and the drill stabbed down again.

"Holy crap!! Nobody told me it could climb onto the roof?!" Old Wei was completely dumbfounded.

I knew there were scary things ahead, very terrifying.

But knowing there are scary moments, but not knowing where they are, is even more terrifying.

Knowing the scare point, it will change its location and appear in the most unbelievable way, which is the most terrifying thing.

Fortunately, although the scene was filled with blood and the character staggered, the monster failed to kill Lao Wei.

The boss, being too fat, fell off the ceiling.

boom!

The huge commotion made everyone's vision tremble. With a terrifying smile, she crawled towards Old Wei.

"Get out of here, you ugly bastard!"

Old Wei cursed angrily and controlled his limping character to make a difficult journey toward the safe room.

Finally, they almost crossed the line to enter the safety room, with the sound of an electric drill drilling through the door coming from behind them.

And a frenzied self-introduction.

"I am Phyllis Fordman, you can also call me—Gooseberry Mama, come quickly, come to Mama..."

The prologue has finally come to an end.

Old Wei let out a sigh of relief and asked, puzzled, "Wasn't it said that the BOSS was waiting around the corner? Why am I jumping rhythmically on the ceiling with bangs and thuds? Sun Zhirui, are you kidding me?!"

"No! The boss really is waiting for me around the corner!"

In the voice channel, He Xiangsong hesitated and said, "Is it really that much? When I encountered it, the BOSS was hiding among a pile of children's toys when it suddenly attacked."

Old Wei was shocked: "Three people, three different attack methods? Su Su, what about you?"

Su Xing was also somewhat puzzled: "When I encountered her, she was hiding at the door of the safe room, waiting for me to take the bait. Luckily, I pressed the QTE button quickly and managed to escape inside after successfully counterattacking."

Four people, four scary ways?

No, buddy.

This is just the prologue? And this is just a gift?

Do we have to be so serious?

During the chat, Lao Wei's character woke up in a room that looked like a prison cell, and the four of them formed a team.

He Xiangsong said, "I didn't scream, but I was definitely startled. Don't you guys feel like something's off with this AI?"

"It's like there's a player with a twisted sense of humor playing the boss who needs to scare us in the prologue, but can't let us go yet."

Old Wei joked, "Maybe behind every BOSS, there's a member of the 'Asylum Studio' working overtime until their heart breaks, pulling the strings?"

"Damn it, I really want to teach them how to make games... What kind of hero scares people with such a despicable method!" Sun Zhirui gritted her teeth. "If you're so capable, let me show off my skills! There isn't a game level that can stump me yet."

Old Wei fell silent.

That's true.

Although Sun Zhirui is a girl, she excels academically and is renowned throughout the school for her gaming skills. Her fighting game skills are so good that she can defeat top players in the entire city.

Examples in real life of "people who are better at studying than you are also better at games than you".

However, it seems there are still weaknesses.

Timid.

It's confirmed that Pi Zhan and Duan Ji are both useless.

At this moment, He Xiangsong's quiet voice came: "Speaking of which, Brother Wei, don't you think... this computer AI really acts like a serial killer? I found her profile."

Phyllis Fordman, the dentist's daughter and the star of the children's television show "Gooseberry Mom," has loved using hand puppets to make patients who come to the dentist laugh since she was a child.

"After her father's death, she became mentally unstable and erratic. Her children's programs became cultish, distorted, and manipulative. She even killed a policeman when she was arrested."

"After that, she voluntarily joined the trial program and survived. Her hair, body, deformed face, and stitched-up hand puppets are all legacies left to her by the trial."

Although it was morning, Lao Wei still felt a chill run down his spine and asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Didn't you notice? She's hunting us down in her most familiar way... like a child's game." He Xiangsong said meaningfully.

"She attacks people from a pile of toys because she used to need toys to amuse children; Brother Wei, you said she jumps rhythmically on the roof with a banging sound, that's hopscotch; and the ambush at the corner or near the safe room is hide-and-seek."

Then, Su Xing spoke.

Normally, her voice sounds the same.

I only showcase my versatile voice when singing or getting immersed in a story.

At this moment, her voice was long and mysterious.

"Brother Wei... this is a real-life killer who lives in the game."

Old Wei's hair stood on end.
