There was actually a bit of cheering and shrieking at the scene.
But in terms of loudness, it was clearly quite a bit less than before.
All the players, especially those who had been saying that Boss Lucas had really changed, now had only one feeling: their "youth" was back.
Boss Lucas was indeed still Boss Lucas, and he stayed true to his love as always.
After two cheerful games in a row, when everyone thought he had changed, his fangs showed again!
This direct presentation news, coming right before evening, was serving them a horror movie?
Were they afraid they'd be too excited on the way back and deliberately trying to cool them down?
Many people complained in their hearts, but their eyes were fixed on everything in front of them. After all, although Resident Evil had scared a lot of people, its excellent game quality and story had also attracted many players.
Ethan appeared on the holographic projection ahead, but his back was to the players.
He was sitting in a chair at this moment, and his voice was heard again.
"It's been three years since the incident with the Jack Baker family."
"I was looking for my wife, and one day... I received an email from her."
"So I went to find her... in Louisiana."
"I found her in a country farm... but she was acting strangely."
The moment Ethan finished speaking, the holographic projection screen in front suddenly changed to Mia's distorted face.
"She attacked me like a wild animal."
As if she was about to rush directly towards the players.
Even though it was just a holographic projection, combined with the dim light, many players were startled, and the players present shrieked repeatedly.
"Later, I found out she was infected with a special mold. I searched that house for a cure or something. The people living there were all infected."
"They had lost all humanity."
The holographic projection showed the "kind" Baker family.
"The source of that infection was a little girl named Evelyn."
"I fought with that hopeless family and cured Mia with a serum."
"Later, Chris and his comrades appeared and rescued Mia and me."
"But thankfully, it's all over."
The scene returned to the dimly lit small room, and Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.
But all the players present were very nervous.
It was all over?
This was a classic way of inviting disaster!
It was like the extra soldier before a battle saying that famous line, "After this fight, I'm going home to get married."
It would be a miracle if it were really over!
But just as many players were mentally prepared for potentially scary moments, something unexpected happened.
Because there were no scary moments, instead, a beautiful pop-up fairy tale book appeared.
Many players immediately recognized it as the cover Lucas had posted online before the carnival.
But what did this have to do with the story of Resident Evil?
As everyone was wondering, a familiar, gentle female voice sounded.
Mia's voice!
Many players who had played Resident Evil immediately recognized it.
"Once upon a time..."
"There was a little girl and her mother who went into the forest to pick berries for her hardworking father."
"But the forest was cold and silent, and the bushes were empty..."
As Mia's voice continued, the fairy tale book in front of them made a rustling sound.
The pages began to turn, showing corresponding pictures inside.
Cartoon-style black shadows appeared, representing a silent and eerie forest.
A tall figure walked hand-in-hand with a child.
"The naughty girl decided to find the berries, so she broke free from her mother's hand and ran deep into the forest."
The little girl pointed her hand towards the deeper forest, then pulled her hand back and skipped quickly along a path made of vines.
Her mother called out repeatedly behind her, but the little girl was so fast that she disappeared from her mother's sight in an instant.
"She went through the forest, leaped over vines, and her mother's voice grew fainter as she ran into the depths of the jungle."
"The little girl felt a strange gaze."
The little girl, who had been skipping into the depths of the jungle, slowed down, seeming to feel scared.
"The girl remembered the scary stories her mother told her before bed every night, making her mouth dry."
The next moment, on a strange branch, a huge fruit caught the little girl's attention.
But before the little girl could get close, the fruit split open, revealing a giant bat hanging upside down. The little girl was so scared that she quickly backed away.
At this moment, the bat actually spoke.
"Come, child, quench your thirst."
The Bat Lord greeted the little girl kindly, then bit its own wing, letting golden blood flow out.
The little girl looked at the golden blood, held out her hands to catch it.
"She happily drank the blood and laughed."
Then the leaves rustled, and the little girl arrived at a cemetery.
"As she passed a cemetery, dark clouds and lightning suddenly appeared, and the air turned bone-chillingly cold."
"The little girl, dressed thinly, shivered from the cold."
Walking through the cemetery, the little girl curled up.
At this moment, a skeleton monster wearing a cloak and with four withered arms appeared before the little girl.
"Then the Shade Weaver appeared and quickly made a beautiful dress out of mist."
"Come, child, put this on to keep warm."
The little girl took the dress, put it on, and happily twirled.
Then thick darkness swallowed everything, countless golden fish appeared, and the camera followed the golden fish through seabed canyons to reveal a massive, oddly shaped fish with countless golden, lantern-like eyes all over its body.
"The little girl floated on a small boat on the ominous dark water, trying to find her way home."
"But she was starving now, and her heart was heavy..."
On the sea, the little girl stood on the swaying boat, trying to scoop up small fish from the water.
But at this moment, the waves surged, and a giant Deep Sea Fish King appeared, shedding a scale from its body.
"Come, child, fill your stomach..."
The little girl happily took the golden scale and ate it, her smile returning.
The pages turned, and the scene became increasingly dark.
"Next, the little girl soon reached the dark center of the forest."
A ray of light appeared in the dark scene. This was a fantasy world made of chains and gears.
At this moment, an armored horse appeared from nowhere and ran around the little girl. On its head was a conspicuous golden gear.
"The little girl walked towards the warhorse, which remained silent..."
"So the little girl thought the golden gear was also a gift and snatched it away."
Hiss...
The warhorse was enraged, and fire spewed from its nostrils, its eyes glowing red.
"The warhorse, filled with rage, summoned the previous monsters."
The Bat Lord, the Shade Weaver, and the Deep Sea Fish King appeared beside the warhorse.
"A strong wind swirled around the monsters, and the little girl became increasingly frightened."
The four monsters approached the little girl, but at this moment, a thick fog enveloped the four monsters. The next moment, when the fog cleared, the four monsters had transformed into a tall, mysterious witch, dark and solemn.
"The more you are given! The more you want! The greater the price!"
As the witch shouted, the pages began to flip wildly and finally closed.
The previously unreadable book cover now displayed the golden game title.
