A Psychiatrist's Bizarre Game Journey / Dream of the Mist

[The deity candidate "Zhou Ke'er" (clergy: God) invites you to become His follower. Do you agree?]

【whether】

[Note: If you agree, you will gain the status of "God believer" and related traits.]

"!"

Zhijiansha looked at Zhou Ke'er in shock. She had initially thought this guy was just having another bout of chuunibyou, but she hadn't expected... this guy had actually become a god? What happened?

"You're God now? What's going on? Did you actually manage to make a dirty deal with the GM in the last mod?"

Honghe was also stunned for a moment, then squinted at Zhou Ke'er and asked.

"No, no...!"

Zhou Ke'er shook her head upon hearing this, but suddenly realized something was wrong... Why did Red Crane know about his communication with the GM? Wasn't time stopped at that time?

"How do you know I met the GM at the end of that module? Time should have stopped at that point, right?"

Zhou Ke'er asked Honghe in confusion.

"Hmm? But I can hear what you're saying. And I can move a little..."

Honghe couldn't understand what Zhou Ke'er was talking about. "Can't other people see this?"

"But Huaijin Woyu and Lengchitu didn't see that."

Zhou Ke'er was confused. She shook her head and thought, "Forget it. Even if there's a bug, it's the GM's problem. It has nothing to do with me. Why think so much?"

86. Who exactly died? (Zero)

Number of participants: 3-5 people

Enjoy the game!

Zhou Ke'er and the other two had already passed the Fog module by chance, so there was no need to play this kind of module for the time being. Either the difficulty was too high or the module would just cause them trouble. Zhou Ke'er also planned to get a better title, so she chose to try the Nightmare difficulty module.

Speaking of which, it seems that the previous single-player nightmare mod didn't generate a new title because it ended abnormally.

After loading was complete, a black mist surged around everyone, gradually engulfing their figures.

"Why are you here again?"

Zhou Ke'er vaguely heard such a sound in the black mist, but it was not real. It felt like the murmur of an unknown creature in the black mist, with a few similar syllables occasionally forming by chance.

Who knows?

After a short while, the black fog dissipated, and as usual, an intro CG sequence appeared.

The night was pitch black, and there were no streetlights.

The cold wind was blowing so hard that just hearing its howling sound made one feel a stinging pain as it scraped their skin.

The stars in the night sky were dim, leaving only a faint crescent moon with a dark silver edge, hidden behind the dark clouds as if embedded in the night. The ink-black clouds surged without leaving a trace, merging into the entire sky.

This is a mountain road that looks very remote, and a car is speeding along it.

The camera slowly zoomed in, revealing that the car windows were wide open, letting in a biting wind. Four people were inside: a man and a woman in the back seat, clearly Zhou Ke'er and Hong He.

They stuck their hands out of the car window to enjoy the breeze, drank can after can of beer, their faces flushed, and laughed and screamed loudly.

The person in the driver's seat was a stranger, probably another player I had matched with. He was also honking the horn and beating the beat like crazy, as if he were on drugs.

The passenger in the front seat, Zhijiansha, seemed to have drunk too much and was already passed out, curled up and slumped in the seat, breathing evenly.

The music in the car was blasting loudly, drowning out even the howling wind, let alone other sounds from outside.

The camera slowly shifts its perspective to inside the car, looking through the windshield into complete darkness.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from ahead, and everyone—except for the already drunk Zhijiansha—instinctively closed their eyes.

"boom!"

This was followed by a violent tremor, screams, and the ear-piercing sound of metal objects being squeezed and crushed.

The wind continued to howl, and the camera suddenly switched to a high altitude, looking down from above.

A large truck, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, with its high beams blaring at maximum brightness, crashed violently into the car carrying the passengers.

Even though the person in the driver's seat instinctively swerved the steering wheel to the side, the front of the car was still smashed flat.

"boom!"

The car, subjected to a tremendous impact, skidded uncontrollably, crashing through the roadside guardrail and plunging down the mountainside.

Amidst the frantic screams of the crowd and the whooshing sound of the wind as they plummeted downwards, the screen went black with a "beep".

[Main Quest: Survive! Of course, it's the same old story of surviving... But, after falling from such a height, how can we expect you to survive? So, just follow the instructions.]

Main quest notification: Not triggered.

[Side Quest: Please explore on your own~]

[Bonus quest: Please explore on your own~]

[Countdown to entering the module: 30...29...]

Wow, this module is pretty good. You have to figure out all the missions on your own.

Moreover, the main quest seems to be a rare type, as it is triggered in segments, which is similar to the segmented quests in those online games from a few years ago.

The countdown ended quickly, and the lurking fog surged up again, enveloping Zhou Ke'er. The damp, almost tangible fog licked at her body, and Zhou Ke'er felt three gazes directed at her from who-knows-where... no, one of them only glanced at her before looking away; to be precise, there were only two.

When the thick fog dissipated, Zhou Ke'er felt as if she was leaning against something, perhaps a tree trunk or something similar? At the same time, a sharp pain came from all over her body.

Slowly open your eyes.

There seemed to be some sticky liquid clinging to my eyelashes, as if they were about to dry. When I opened my eyes, the few eyelashes that were already stuck to my eyelids tightened, causing a slight stinging sensation.

Is it blood?

Zhou Ke'er glanced at the status bar subconsciously.

At the start, you only have 40% stamina left, and you also have a "minor fracture" debuff.

["Minor fracture": Your left elbow and wrist suffered a fracture due to a severe impact. You are unable to use your left hand flexibly. If you engage in strenuous exercise, this condition will worsen and cause additional damage.]

Fortunately, it was his left hand. It's okay that his left hand was slightly injured, as long as his leg and dominant hand are not injured.

I wonder what the situation is for the others.

Based on the opening scene, the truck struck the front right side of the car, while Zhou Ke'er was sitting in the rear left. Presumably, this is why she wasn't seriously injured, but the sand between her fingers was directly hit by the truck...

Hmm, I hope I won't die at the start of the game.

And... speaking of which, the final scene showed him falling straight down from halfway up the mountain! How did he not die from that?!

It was just a minor fracture, and I only lost 60% of my stamina... The height and the injury don't seem to match.

Well, never mind. Although the background of this mod feels a little off, we can't just make the player die at the start of the game. It's a small bug, nothing serious.

Zhou Ke'er, supporting herself on the tree behind her with her right hand, stood up unsteadily. A stinging sensation spread throughout her body.

Hmm...their clothes are torn in many places, tattered and tattered. They also have many scrapes and abrasions. It seems the status bar only displays the more serious abnormal conditions.

The night sky was completely dark, and Zhou Ke'er could only see a very small area.

With the thought that "maybe he brought a cell phone or a flashlight," Zhou Ke'er reached out her right hand and tremblingly touched her pocket.

Ugh... Damn it, I do have the phone, but the screen is completely crushed... Hmm? Wait... the bottom half is still intact.

Although the lock screen cannot be unlocked, the emergency camera can be activated, and the flash can also be turned on...

As for emergency calls, Zhou Ke'er didn't even consider it. Seriously? Have you ever seen a cell phone with a signal in a horror movie? Either there's no signal, or some weird thing answers after you dial... it's better to just ignore it.

Slightly out of breath, Zhou Ke'er turned on the flash, and the back of her phone emitted a slightly dazzling light.

"Sizzle"

A rustling sound came from the left, accompanied by a very faint cry of pain.

Zhou Ke'er quickly turned her head and shone the flashlight in that direction.

Hidden in the bushes is the player sitting in the driver's seat.

You can see his nickname, "Frankenstein," displayed above his head.

As the light shone on him, he managed to make out Zhou Ke'er holding her phone, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"That scared me to death... I thought there would be some monsters right from the start..."

Fran struggled to his feet, complaining, "I only have 35% health left at the start, and I have the 'Bleeding' debuff. I'm going to die at this rate... Thank goodness it's not a monster... Um, can you lend a hand? Thanks!"

"...Call me father."

Seeing his miserable appearance, Zhou Ke'er was instantly agitated. She immediately squatted down and said with a grotesque expression.

"...father!"

Fran, utterly shameless, gave in instantly. The main reason was that his left leg was broken, and he couldn't get up on his own without help.

"..."

Seeing how easily he gave in, Zhou Ke'er found it rather boring. She pursed her lips and reached out her right hand to help him up.

"Is that Zhou Ke'er over there? Come check on Zhijiansha, she doesn't seem to be doing well. She hasn't woken up."

The flamingo's voice came from the darkness beside it.

------------

87. Who Died? (Part 1)

"Can't wake up?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke'er frowned and shone the light towards the red crane.

Indeed, the man with his fingers lying on the ground was covered in dust and traces of blood, some dried and some still flowing. His eyes were closed, and he appeared to be unconscious.

Zhou Ke'er quickly walked to Zhijiansha's side, handed the phone to Honghe, and squatted down: "Hold this phone for me and shine it here."

Honghe didn't say anything, but reached out and took the phone. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ke'er sent a "Let me see" message to Zhijiansha, specifically requesting "brief" information.
