Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Wang Xuanqiao continued to browse Fu Hua's encyclopedia entry. Words like "Fire-Chasing Moth" and "Stigma Project" quickly appeared in his field of vision. Based on Fu Hua's character story, Wang Xuanqiao quickly pieced together a plot line for the collapse of the world.

First, the former civilization encountered the Honkai Disaster. Although that civilization fought hard, even creating weapons like the Fusion Warriors that could rival the Herrschers, it was ultimately destroyed by the Herrschers' repeated attacks on its vitals. The survivors of the Final War attempted to restart civilization, but failed.

The current civilization has developed to this point, and while still connected to the previous one, it has become a brand new one. Thus, the Fire Moth, an organization that once fought against the Collapse, has transformed into the World Serpent, lurking in the shadows of the current civilization, awaiting the opportunity to implement the Stigma Project.

As for the Stigmata Project, not much is said about it, but seeing as how the protagonists are trying to prevent it from coming to fruition, it's obviously not a good plan.

After reading this, Wang Xuanqiao had a rough idea in mind. If he followed Kiana to the Collapse World, he might have to find the World Serpent first and meet their Lord, Kevin.

As for why they didn't go straight to the fight with the End, the first reason was that there wasn't enough information about the End, and the second was that Wang Xuanqiao had seen it on Kiana's character page before - she had a Herrscher of the End form.

Fu Hua didn't realize that her visit had already made Wang Xuanqiao miss his former comrade Kevin. She still insisted on teaching Wang Xuanqiao her cooking skills, but Wang Xuanqiao had no choice but to let her go since he couldn't persuade her.

While stewing the meat, Wang Xuanqiao listened to Fu Hua's chattering beside him, and suddenly felt that although she was a bit old-fashioned, after listening to her for a long time, he no longer felt annoyed, but instead felt a little familiar.

Is this what it means to say "An old person in the family is like a treasure"?

Maybe. Wang Xuanqiao laughed to himself, which made Fu Hua a little confused, wondering if she had said something wrong again.

A dinner unexpectedly attracted everyone in the arcade to join in. Kiana didn't know that the meal she was eating was actually prepared by the person she had always rejected and the store manager. Now she was focusing all her attention on Honkai Impact 3rd.

Wang Xuanqiao sat at the dining table, looking at the white-haired ball who had quickly evolved into a "phone addict" with a mobile phone in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and then glanced at the "old man" who was hiding not far away, silently gazing at the night view outside the window, and an inexplicable feeling of fulfillment surged in his heart.

Is this the meaning of my risking my life to get this game hall from the reincarnation space?

of course not.

I made a wish just to lie at home, play games every day and enjoy a peaceful life.

Maybe it's fate that can't stand others being comfortable, so it throws this "burden" at us.

But it doesn't matter. Wang Xuanqiao smiled slightly.

How could it be that the shoulders of the Algerian and Chinese people cannot bear the burden?

——The author has something to say——

Although I really want to write: MD I can't bear it anymore, I punch the End to pieces, but then I think about how I can finish the chapter if I punch it to pieces, no, how can I watch my lovely End to pieces! So I spared its life for now.

Of course, the key is the paradise of the afterlife, and it is Ai Li——

Hey hey——Aili, my Ai Li——(wipes saliva)

Volume 030: : Taking Silent Hill Again

After one night, Kiana took a solid step towards becoming a "collapse expert." This included, but was not limited to, embarrassing herself enough to quit the game and have to start over again while watching the storyline; and being so lost in memories that her phone automatically went to sleep, ruining her progress.

But overall, she's still optimistic. As a bystander, watching her youthful self, Kiana experienced emotions she'd never experienced before.

She just felt sorry that she couldn't see the past of the Herrscher of the Void in the plot, and only knew the Herrscher of the Void's original name - Xilin.

Therefore, early in the morning, Kiana couldn't wait to go to Silent Hill again. There, she could confront the Herrscher of the Sky and question Sirin about what happened.

It was originally a good idea, and Wang Xuanqiao was very supportive. Unexpectedly, Baimao Tuanzi took advantage of the situation and tried to drag him into the game, claiming that she wanted the store manager to guide her.

Wang Xuanqiao pondered for a moment, thinking he had nothing to do anyway, so since the white-haired ball asked to be taken with him, he might as well do it. He then activated the device with Kiana and entered Silent Hill.

This time, Wang Xuanqiao was driving, so he didn't skip a single step. He could even see other cars passing by on the road the taxi was traveling on, but as the fog gradually settled in, no more "passersby" appeared.

This scene looked like the power of Silent Hill was gradually eroding outward. Wang Xuanqiao wasn't sure how far this IP would extend its worldview. Perhaps this Silent Hill game, given by the system, would have new developments?

If this is true, it is equivalent to giving away a whole family bucket. Although it may not be the system's credit, I still want to praise its conscience.

While driving, Wang Xuanqiao introduced the key locations in Silent Hill to Kiana.

"The most important thing is the hospital. The source of the entire inner and outer worlds—Alessa's true form—is located there. The last time they lured you to the hospital, they were deliberately trying to get you close to Alessa's true form."

"The second is the church. It's the stronghold of the mastermind behind the story. They attempt to use Alessa's power to summon the evil god. However, thanks to the efforts of these bastards, the church can resist the rules of the other world to a certain extent."

"Finally, there's school. Most of the monsters roaming the otherworld are inspired by Alessa's experiences at school. She was once deliberately slandered by cult members who spread rumors about her, leading to her being bullied and humiliated by her classmates, and falling into depression. I remember someone saying that those monsters were actually images of her classmates in Alessa's mind."

Each of these three locations holds its own significance, yet they also connect. For example, the school might hold a key item that connects you to Alessa, while the church might hold the key to defeating Alessa. As for the hospital? It's certainly for players who can speedrun Silent Hill.

After listening to the introduction, Kiana felt a little sympathetic to Alessa's situation.

But Alyssa has obviously made her choice. The existence of the inner and outer worlds is not a passive existence, but a nightmare that Alyssa actively releases.

The greatest help to Alyssa is to relieve her from pain.

As the two chatted about Silent Hill one sentence after another, the car drove steadily into the foggy town.

Then the car broke down, and no matter how hard I pressed the accelerator, it didn't work. Apparently, the game didn't allow vehicles in town. Wang Xuanqiao felt a bit sorry. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to run a midnight horror taxi in Yaba Village?

He didn't take off his glasses when he came in this time, and his main purpose was to have fun.

The two got out of the taxi together. The moment they closed the doors one after another, the empty taxi reversed on the spot and quickly fled with the roar of the engine.

"I guess he's going to wait for the next passenger." Wang Xuanqiao suddenly said as he looked in the direction where the taxi disappeared.

"Hey! Manager, what are you talking about? Aren't there only two of us in the store?" The white-haired ball was startled by this sentence.

"What are you saying? Can't I have new customers in my store?" Wang Xuanqiao glanced at Kiana.

"Oh... um." Kiana's reaction was a little subtle.

"Alright, let's go get some weapons first." Wang Xuanqiao waved his hand and took the lead walking towards the town. "Since you want to teach me, let's start with the most basic combat techniques."

"Manager, could the new customer be a girl?" Kiana suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"I really don't know," Wang Xuanqiao answered truthfully. "I don't know exactly how the system attracts customers. To me, it's just like opening a blind box."

"Is that so?" The white-haired ball seemed to be thinking about something.

"But I think the probability of the third customer being a woman is quite high," Wang Xuanqiao added. "From the time we opened until now, I've only been seeing women. Maybe the system favors women."

"Then let's make a bet. I guess the next guest will be a man!"

"You can even bet on this? Okay, what do you want to bet on?" Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but laugh. "Let's make it clear first, the bet is primarily for entertainment."

"Of course!" Kiana blinked, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "If I win, I want to eat the braised pork made by the manager."

"Okay. If you lose, you have to help me get a few more friends to come to the arcade and get membership cards. Deal?"

"make a deal!"

When Wang Xuanqiao saw Kiana extending her hand towards him, he immediately realized that the girl wanted to play a high-five as a token of an oath, so he smiled and raised his hand to gently pat hers.

The two found weapons again in their old place in the surface world. Looking at the familiar cardboard boxes, Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but complain about the design of using cardboard boxes to store bullets. Someone with a little military knowledge might have overlooked this.

I can only say that it is at least more immersive than a rotating icon floating on the ground.

Kiana still chose dual guns, while Wang Xuanqiao picked up an iron rod and some bullets at random, after all, he was going to get a flashlight later.

After the two men had finished arming themselves, the sirens that seemed to announce the arrival of the other world sounded as expected.

The dense fog that enveloped the town suddenly became as dark as ink. The darkness pulled up a huge curtain, enveloping everything and swallowing up the remaining light. But unexpectedly, several bolts of purple lightning burst out from the darkness that swallowed everything.

Oh no, Honkai Impact 3rd is coming again? Wang Xuanqiao touched his chin.

Kiana also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The fear and despair she had tasted in the previous game were still fresh in her mind, making her grip on the weapon tighten.

"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Wang Xuanqiao turned his head to look at Kiana, and seeing her serious expression, he asked with a smile.

"No problem." Kiana raised her two guns, "That's why I came here!"

"Yes, the momentum is very good." Wang Xuanqiao nodded. "Also, the fact that Honkai can appear again is also a good thing for you now."

After saying this, he began to follow his memory to determine the direction of Silent Hill Hospital. Once he had a rough idea of where it was, Wang Xuanqiao led Kiana straight to the hospital.

Alyssa, we're here to play with you!

——The author has something to say——

Thanks to book friends [Alpha] and [Infinite Avenue] for their recommendation votes, thank you for your support!

So few readers followed up, is it because there aren't enough words?

Volume 031: : Ah, coming for me?

Monsters emerge from the darkness, attacking every human who dares to wander into the other world.

This is like the dignity of the other world, it does not allow any living person to offend!

Except for some special cases...

Wang Xuanqiao and Kiana were surrounded by monsters. The former casually waved his iron rod to knock down the approaching ghosts, while the latter was using gun fighting skills to fight the ghosts who blocked their way.

"Too many movements." Wang Xuanqiao drove away the monsters while examining Kiana's fighting skills.

Since the Honkai can appear directly, the monsters in Silent Hill have become more difficult to deal with than before. In addition, the two of them were not in a hurry, so they simply chose to stop and fight these monsters.

Of course, the one fighting was basically Kiana.

"Any combat technique involving weapons must be centered around leveraging the weapon itself. Spear fighting doesn't rely on your physical skills, but on your gun."

While Wang Xuanqiao was criticizing Kiana, he took the time to swing the iron rod and crack the kid's head open, just like cracking a walnut.

"For monsters like these that lack much intelligence and are highly aggressive, you should simply exploit their weaknesses and kill them quickly, rather than engaging them in a grappling match. While this approach may look impressive, it's inefficient and will easily lead to overwhelming numbers."

Compared to the monsters gradually accumulating around Kiana, the situation around Wang Xuanqiao is much more relaxed.

Just as he had imagined before, Silent Hill could easily be turned into a Silent Hill version of Left 4 Dead by him.

Under the stick, there's really no difference between zombies and screaming imps.

As the fight progressed, it seemed as if the other world realized these two were tough guys and that further fighting would be fruitless, so they chose to give in. The darkness dissipated, as if a thick, pitch-black fog had lost its color, returning to a gray haze.

Those monsters turned into ashes and disappeared in an instant, as if they were swallowed by the fog.

Kiana lowered her gun and took a few quick breaths.

"Manager, do you also know how to fight with guns?" she turned around and asked.

"No." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "I just happened to know someone who practiced gun fighting. Strictly speaking, he used two guns and a sword, a bit like Dante, but later I felt he was more like Deadpool."

"Dual guns and swords? What are his gun fighting skills like?" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she seemed interested.

"There are two situations," Wang Xuanqiao replied after a brief recollection. "The first involves attacking weaker opponents with flashy tactics, more like showing off than fighting. The second involves attacking stronger opponents with very simple movements, so simple that they can be summed up in two simple ways: firing and reloading."

"Isn't this too simple?" Kiana was a little surprised. "But what about dodging or detouring?"

"Of course, it's integrated into the firing and reloading of the gun. You could say his gun fighting technique has almost no unnecessary movements. As long as there are bullets in his hand, he won't stop shooting."

"It's a bit... hard to imagine." Kiana was shocked.

"It's okay, I'll show you a sample later." Wang Xuanqiao touched the magazine on his body to familiarize himself with the feel in advance.

While Silent Hill was still in the surface world, the two of them began to search for buildings that could be entered after their conversation, looking for props for lighting in the inner world.

Based on their experience from the previous game, the two focused their search on restaurants and similar buildings. Soon, Wang Xuanqiao found a portable flashlight in a cafe, which was several times more powerful than a small flashlight.

There's also an open notebook on the cafe's bar. I don't know if it's a nod to the original or if it actually has a save function.

With the thought of "it's free anyway, why not give it a try", Wang Xuanqiao reached out and picked up the notebook.

A slightly yellowed photo immediately slipped off the page.

What is this? Wang Xuanqiao pinched the photo in mid-air with his fingers and flipped it towards him...

"What's the matter, manager?" Kiana, who was still sorting out her weapons, suddenly discovered that Wang Xuanqiao seemed to be staring at something intently.

She was a little curious, so she stood up and walked over quickly. When Kiana got closer, she saw the photo in her hand.

It was a photo with somewhat retro colors, and there were three people in the picture - an elderly couple and a child.

The child in the photo looked familiar. He had a childlike innocent smile on his face, and was held in the arms of an old woman. The old woman was sitting on a bamboo chair, and behind her stood an old man with the same smile on his face.

"I didn't expect to see this photo here." Wang Xuanqiao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"After my grandmother passed away, I didn't dare look at any photos of them for a while. Later, when I really missed them, I couldn't find them. I even hated myself for that for a while."

As he spoke, he laughed again.

"Manager..." Kiana was a little worried, because she knew that this could only mean one thing - Silent Hill's mental offensive was about to begin!

"Don't worry, this little trick won't work on me." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head gently. "It's a good thing, actually. I can't find the real photo, so I'll use this screenshot as a substitute."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang. The sharp sound was particularly piercing in the silence, making people feel a little uncomfortable.

Kiana subconsciously glanced at Wang Xuanqiao.

Wang Xuanqiao walked directly to the phone, picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.
