In horror games, having a reliable teammate is a happy thing.
But the problem is that right now, this teammate doesn't seem very reliable.
Looking at Mia in front of him, Ethan in the game also said with concern, "We'll get out of here. Mia, you rest here for a while. I'll go find a way."
"This is... Ethan, don't mess with me!" Ben's face was about to collapse.
Although the lights in the room are quite bright, this is a horror game!
In this situation, you still want to separate? Ethan, haven't you ever died?
But even though he was complaining in his heart, Ben could only control Ethan to explore ahead in the game.
However, just as he entered the room to see if there was any information, Mia's scream came from outside.
"Ah...!!! Get away! Don't come near me!"
Hearing Mia's scream, Ben ran back as quickly as possible, but he was still a step too late.
The place on the wall that was originally blocked with wooden boards now had a big hole.
And Mia, who was originally sitting on the sofa, was now gone.
Ben felt a pain in the balls. He knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Looking at the big hole in the wall, Ben searched around a little, but didn't find anything valuable.
Going through the hole in the wall, there was a stairwell behind it. The long staircase was dark and dim in the game, and also very steep, about 75 degrees.
Ben turned on the flashlight and stood still for a long time.
At this moment, a creaking sound came. The closed door at the top of the stairs was actually opened directly.
Lying in the game pod, Ben could already feel himself sweating a little.
The gloomy atmosphere, and the silent environment with not a single sound, was full of weirdness.
After hesitating for a while, Ben finally groped his way up little by little.
Coming up from the basement stairs, there was no jump scare or high-energy moment that Ben had guessed.
But there were bursts of thunder from outside the window. At the same time, through the window, he could see that the sky outside had changed from dusk to late night.
Along with the thunder, there was also the sound of wind, and it started to rain.
The pattering raindrops hit the window, and coupled with the sounds of wind and thunder, Ben's whole body went numb.
Especially when combined with the game scene after coming up from the basement, the feeling was just too intense.
The sound of thunder and rain outside, the narrow corridor, and the wooden floor and dim lights, Ben suddenly felt a little like crying.
Every step he took was a huge torment.
Because every time he walked, his feet made a thumping sound on the wooden floor.
Coupled with the empty house, he couldn't help but become suspicious, always feeling like someone was grinning in a corner, following behind him and ready to give him a huge surprise at any time.
Carefully crossing the corridor, Ben pushed open the only door he could open right now.
It was a bathroom.
Combined with the narrow corridor outside, Ben thought of the old "Silent Hill PT". But fortunately, there were no high-energy scenes in this bathroom, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
However, in the bathroom drawer, Ben found two bottles of first aid medicine.
Just as he wanted to see if there was anything else.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a rapid knocking sound from the corridor outside.
"Knock knock knock knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock knock knock!"
The extremely rapid knocking sounded very impatient.
Although he really wanted to turn around and run, Ben knew that wasn't realistic.
After all, this thing is a game.
The first result is that the door simply can't be opened, forcing the player to trigger the knocking scene.
As for the second result, that would be terrible.
Because if the door could be opened, it would mean that Boss Lucas wanted them, the players, to go in. And what was hidden in the world behind this door, it was really hard to say.
Summoning his courage, Ben slowly walked towards the door in the corridor. But just as he came to the door,
The knocking stopped, and even the sound of thunder and rain outside was gone.
It was extremely quiet. All he could hear was Ethan's breathing.
Ben took two deep breaths and bravely opened the door. He closed his eyes subconsciously.
But soon he realized that there was no jump scare as he had imagined. But before he could feel lucky, something that made his hair stand on end happened.
From the dark stairwell below, there was a faint sound of climbing, which grew louder and louder.
Shining the flashlight down, he saw a strangely shaped person slowly climbing up the stairs.
And wasn't this person's clothing the same as Mia's before?
Before Ben could figure out what was going on, he saw Mia, who was lying on the stairs, suddenly spring up from the ground like a spring. She instantly pounced on Ethan's face. Her twisted face had bulging veins, indescribably ferocious, and full of madness.
"Holy crap!"
Ben was startled and trembled. Then he saw Mia grab Ethan's neck and throw him up, directly flinging Ethan out. He crashed through the stairwell door and fell into the corridor.
Before Ben could control Ethan to get up from the ground, Mia had already arrived in front of him, and she also had an extra sharp knife in her hand, stabbing towards his face.
"Holy crap, don't... don't! Domestic violence!" Ben waved his hands, trying to block Mia's attack.
The sharp blade cut out gash after gash on his hands, and blood spurted out instantly.
Ben struggled to get up from the ground and kicked Mia away, but Mia in front of him pounced on him again like a madman.
Under the VR immersive experience, even with the clarity mode turned on, the impact was still full, full of the pressure of death.
At this moment, Ben almost forgot that this was a game.
Especially the last time, the knife directly pierced through the palm of Ethan's hand.
It even made Ben feel pain as he watched, as if he had returned to the level where he got his fingers cut off while playing Outlast.
But this time it was being played on VR, and it was CosmosVR. And the visual performance of this "Resident Evil" was at the level of Uncharted.
Looking at the bloody hand, Ben felt his blood pressure rising.
But at this time, Mia's original madness was gone, replaced by a painful expression.
"I feel... she's going to crawl back into my body again!"
"Get out! Get out! Stay away from me!"
"Ah!" Mia slammed her head hard against the wall.
"I did bad things. I deserve this!"
"Get away!"
Along with the impact, a crack opened in Mia's head and blood spurted out quickly.
And Mia finally couldn't hold on and fainted on the ground.
At the same time, a UI prompt to use first aid medicine appeared in Ben's field of vision.
But at this time, he had no such thoughts at all.
Ben looked at Mia on the ground. Mia was now unconscious, wearing thin clothes.
If it were him in the past, he would definitely have moved closer to take a look, but now he just subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Mia, I'm sorry! You... I definitely can't save you."
"Also, I think there's really no need for us to continue living together! Divorce! We should get a divorce! We must divorce!"
