A man and a woman. The woman's name was Dr. Rosaleen. She directly accused the man: "Where were you looking when you were driving, Neil!"

The man's name is Dr. Watts. He said helplessly: "Oh, sorry, I was just trying to avoid that poor squirrel."

"But not only did you run over the poor creature, you crashed the company car into a tree!"

"…Luckily it's a company car, isn't it?"

Then the two people's complaints about the boss made everyone laugh. It seemed that it was quite interesting to abandon other aspects and concentrate on experiencing the plot.

Then, they took a special instrument and walked along the hillside towards the villa in the dark. There were no special obstacles on the way up the mountain, and the difficulty of the game could be said to be basically zero, but listening to the bickering between the two characters did not feel so boring.

As the two walked into the villa, the screen turned black again.

'Act One'

'I never told anyone this, but... I always thought they were beacons.'

"Hmm, it feels good~"

As soon as Xilin's voice fell, the screen started again.

"I think you two are Dr. Rosalie and Dr. Watts. It's great that you came here so soon."

Lily, the maid of the villa, welcomed them.

"These are my two kids, Sarah and Tommy. Since this isn't a 9-to-5 job, John Sr. allowed us to live here together."

This old John should be the employer of the two doctors.

Dr. Watts asked the question, and Lily answered in the affirmative.

"He is receiving treatment upstairs now. Please follow me."

The two doctors exchanged a few words, then followed Lily up to the second floor.

Then, the two children saw that there was no one in the living room, so they went back to the piano together and played the song that enchanted everyone.

Xilin paid attention to it and thought that this music might be an important foreshadowing of the plot.

Arriving at the bedroom on the second floor, the two doctors finally met their client, old John, who was so old and tortured by time that he could only lie in bed and rest.

"How is he doing?"

Dr. Watts was setting up the equipment while Dr. Rosalie asked the doctor at the window.

"The situation is very grim. We have one or two days left at most, and it could get worse at any time."

Then the Doctor asked Lily: "So, what is his wish?"

"Moon."

"?Moon?"

"The moon... He wants to go to the moon."

Chapter 20 I Just...Have to Go

"So, the main plot of this game is that we, as employees of a certain company, come here to fulfill our employer's dying wish through dreams, so that he can die with peace of mind? This setting is quite interesting."

[Indeed, I won’t criticize you for now, this game does look pretty good. ]

[But isn't this old Deng's wish too outrageous? How can he still be an astronaut at such an old age? ]

【Nowadays, Lao Deng is really getting better and better at playing. 】

[Maybe I miss my grandparents’ jelly, Le.]

The barrage was suddenly filled with happy smiles.

The conversation in the bedroom also gave them a general understanding of the content of the game. According to Lily, Old John was a carpenter and his wife had died two years ago. The desire to go to the moon might be related to his wife, but she was not sure about the specific circumstances.

Then, Lily suggested that the two doctors could walk around the room and look for clues, and the two children could lead them.

“Classic cow-horse.”

After silently complaining, Xilin found two children and quietly started doing small tasks.

The task was not difficult, and they soon got the key to the basement, which the children called the 'fun room'.

The usual boring puzzles here do not make people feel bored. On the contrary, the quite interesting dialogues always make people smile.

For example, when the children deliberately asked for 10 billion yuan for candy, many people laughed and said that the children understood psychology.

In short, after a not-so-long decryption process, Xilin was led by the two children and came to the door of the basement of the villa with the key.

Then, she took the key in her hand and opened the dusty wooden door.

In an instant, the screen was pitch black, with only a glimmer of light at the door where Xilin was standing.

"this......"

Xilin hesitated for a moment. The atmosphere was clearly relaxed just now, so why did the BGM stop at this point?

Then she fumbled to turn on the light.

After seeing the scene in the room clearly, Xilin's pupils suddenly shrank.

"ah!!!!!!"

The whole picture was covered with a layer of dim filter, and large pieces of colorful origami bunnies were scattered on the ground. At the same time, a strange background music slowly sounded, and with a thud, it was like a hammer hitting Xilin's heart.

"Is this a horror game? It scared me!!"

Xilin calmed her pounding heart, her face full of shock. She immediately took out her cell phone, cursing, wanting to scold Nangong Yu.

But I soon remembered that I was still live streaming, so I had to endure it for the time being.

She remembered this grudge!

The game still needs to be advanced, so Xilin began to look at the scene in the room.

It is obviously a pixel game, but it is this hazy style that provides more room for imagination and makes the sense of horror even more intense.

Looking at the paper rabbits all over the floor, a crazy and paranoid image quickly emerged in Xilin's mind. The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere also became subtle at this time.

"Is he crazy about going to the moon and keeps folding moon rabbits?"

Relying on talking to herself to suppress the fear in her heart, Xilin pointed to a conspicuous object on a chair.

Soon, a picture of an ugly doll was enlarged on the screen.

'A stuffed platypus'

Doubts piled up more and more. This place was closed off, and it was obviously a place that Old John attached great importance to. However, this strange scene not only failed to explain why he wanted to go to the moon, but also made people more and more confused.

After coming out of the basement, Xilin asked about the two children.

"Paper bunny, we know other places with paper bunnies~"

"In the abandoned lighthouse at the foot of the cliff."

"I have the key, do you want to go check it out?"

"Hehehehe~"

The cold piano background music and the two children speaking alternately made the scene look eerie.

Although it was the middle of summer, Xilin tightened her clothes and continued to play with a sullen face.

Led by the two children, Xilin soon saw the lighthouse at the beginning.

It is right under the moon, in the bright moonlight, quietly watching everything around it.

In front of the lighthouse, there is a tombstone standing sideways.

"Brook Wiles."

This might be the grave of old John's wife, Xilin secretly guessed.

The wish to go to the moon, the wife's grave, the lighthouse, the paper rabbit, and that strange platypus...

The scene before her made Xilin feel that there must be some connection between them, but the lack of the most important clue made it impossible for her to connect these known factors.

It seems that the final answer still needs to be found in old John's dream.

Going up the spiral staircase of the lighthouse, I saw little rabbits scattered all over the ground on the top floor.

However, among the many colorful little rabbits, she found the only one that was made of two colors, with blue limbs and head, and a yellow belly.

After she put away the rabbit, another doctor called.

"Everything is ready, we can go."

......

White light filled the entire screen, and then a picture that looked like a yellowed old newspaper appeared on the screen. This was still old John's bedroom, and a long yellow progress bar appeared above the screen.

The short progress bar contains old John's entire life.

Infants, children, teenagers, young people, middle-aged people, and the elderly.

Each stage has a corresponding image logo.

"This is the furthest point in time we can reach. Turn off all audio except Old John's. Let's go and find a way to implant dreams into Old John."

The two walked through the empty room and soon found a sheet of music on the piano in the living room.

'for river'

'Author: John Wiles'

"Wiles? Isn't that the last name on the grave? It seems that this girl named Xiaoxi is old John's wife."

Finding a clue so quickly made Xilin's expression noticeably happy. It was really fun to solve the puzzle bit by bit.

Then, Xilin walked out of the villa and came to the lighthouse that should have special significance. Old John and Lily, the maid of the villa, were there at the moment.

After learning about the purpose of Xilin and the others' visit, Old John was silent, and then he slowly said: "...It seems that my luck is not bad. Can you take me to the moon?"

"We can't, but you can."

"Why do you want to go there?"

asked Dr. Watts, who was controlled by Sirin.

"I do not know."

"what?"

Not only Xilin outside the game, but also the barrage was covered with "Huh?"

[Is there something wrong with this old man? I wonder why he wants to go? ]

[I don't understand. How can I do this?]

【humor.】

Especially those viewers who often act as the second party, felt deeply empathized with the two doctors at this moment. It was their bad luck to meet such clients.

"...You can't say you don't know. You need a motive to go to the moon, right? Fame or money. This is the key to our help."

"Sorry, I really don't know."

At this moment, the piano music in the background suddenly became soothing, mixed with the sound of waves hitting the shore, creating a deep and profound atmosphere.

Old John was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I just...have to go."

Chapter 21 Paper Rabbit

When Old John finished his last sentence, Xilin was silent.

The sentence is short, but the obsession contained in it is somewhat moving, and makes people begin to wonder what on earth could make an old man with unclear memories have such a strong desire.

"It's quite a hassle, I'm sure."

However, they can only choose to go back to old John's past layer by layer to find out the reason why he wanted to go to the moon, or directly help him implant the desire to become an astronaut and go to the moon when he was a child.

"We need to go into your childhood, but such a long time cannot be completed in a single memory jump."

"Do you have some memory fragments that would help us return to your previous memories?"

"Memory fragments..."

Old John muttered to himself and slowly took out a paper rabbit from the bench, the one with blue ears and a yellow belly.

Then, time began to go back.
