Dull and dark, as if covered by a layer of cloth.
[You were fired, so you spend all day drinking to drown your sorrows]
[So she had to leave home and become a cashier in a grocery store]
[And the only reason she was able to work there and earn money...]
[The store manager likes to see her wearing a white long skirt]
You didn’t forget, did you?
[You can’t forget…]
[It is impossible to forget...]
“Ohhhhh——Fvvvvvk…”
now!
Pew, standing in front of the wash basin, is a latecomer, listening to the truth presented by the narration.
It is also like the man of this family, Lisa's husband, the murderer, who, after experiencing so many unimaginable and bizarre things, accepted the truth and endured a fiery spiritual trial.
Jealousy, suspicion, impulsiveness...
Factors such as "unemployment, depression, social injustice" and so on, which were once mentioned on the radio, caused the demon called "self-esteem" but actually "incompetence" to grow in the male host's heart.
It is both a visitor from hell and the embodiment of darkness.
It led the male owner step by step into the abyss of suspicion.
He suspected his wife of infidelity and uncleanness.
He even doubted whose child was in his pregnant wife's belly.
then.
In the photo, he went from smiling at the beginning to looking depressed and gloomy, and finally showing a vicious look.
In the photo, the corners of Lisa's mouth are turning downwards, gradually turning into a torn expression.
Wife having an affair with her manager?
Although here, Sam left it blank and did not tell the players whether the husband's guess was true.
But Pew already had the answer in his heart.
If that were true, he wouldn't have been dragged into this otherworldly haunted apartment.
If this is true, Lisa would not wear a conservative long skirt that almost drags on the ground.
If it were true, he would not have empathized with the murderer and accepted spiritual judgment in this nightmarish experience.
Now, the trial is over and the truth has come to light.
Now, it's time to find a way to escape from here.
As the end comes!
The most difficult puzzle and final test of the game are also coming!
After leaving the bathroom, continue forward and the player will leave the rampage corridor and arrive at the 13th floor loop.
This ominous number, which is used in the West to express bad luck, will act like a cage, blocking the player's way forward.
Here, you need to be careful in every move you make!
Because Lisa will be extremely active and aggressive at this moment!
If you are not careful, or if you turn your head, or turn a corner, or even just look out the window, Lisa might pounce on your face and break your neck!
Once, twice, three times.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times!
Xu Xiaolin died again and again, and crawled up from the ground again and again.
From the beginning when he was killing people in the face and then breaking the streak, to later when he was killing people ten times and then breaking the streak five times, to later when he was calm and composed!
Later on, Xu Xiaolin even got used to Lisa's sudden clinging to him and was never kicked out of the cabin again!
but!
There has been no progress in the game!
Until this time!
Xu Xiaolin really didn’t know how to get through this!
Tokyo Game Festival starts at 9am Japan time, 8am Chukyo time!
In order to complete the game, get the first-hand ending, and make a review for this trial version, he played from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon!
Except for eating, drinking water and going to the toilet, I was wandering around in this haunted house the whole time!
In fact, there were many times when Xu Xiaolin thought about giving up.
But there is a good saying in China!
【Already here】
I fucking endured turning off the lights and power switch, enduring Lisa knocking on the door, enduring the delayed turn-around kill, the blood-soaked refrigerator, the brutal murder, the soul judgment, and Lisa's repeated sticking!
Should I leave the game now?
no!
I don’t know about others!
But I, Xu Xiaolin, will never die so easily!
Today I either leave in the game or I leave in reality!
Anyway, one of me and the protagonist of this fucking game must go!
While others keep their eagles awake, Xu Xiaolin keeps Lisa awake.
Of course, editor-in-chief reviewers of Xu Xiaolin's level are highly respected and have countless friends in the circle.
Needless to say, none of the editors in Tiantianyou News could escape, and they all went out to find a way to escape from the haunted house.
At the same time, he also contacted Piediepee, a well-known Utube game blogger who started out with horror games and has 89 million fans!
Yes!
Although Xu Xiaolin and Pew are in China and Japan respectively!
But they knew each other and got in touch!
So, the two of them, one at the scene and the other in the office, started to solve the final puzzle on the spot!
And at this moment!
Xu Xiaolin was discussing with Pew through the split-screen heads-up display in the somatosensory cabin.
[ShallLin: I have always thought that the time of the game is a big problem, what do you think?]
[Pew: I thought so, but when I went to adjust the clock in the alcove, it always jumped back to 23:59]
[ShallLin: Midnight 00:00 must be a critical time point. 23:59 means that we have always been in the other world. Only by jumping back in time can we return to the real world.]
[Pew: But the question is, how do we make the time jump to 00:00? ]
That’s all!
Boom——!
Suddenly!
Xu Xiaolin heard a bell ringing in the corridor!
Following right on!
Then a baby's giggle was heard!
“Oh my god!!!”
Xu Xiaolin took two quick steps and came to the alcove, and saw that the time displayed on the clock had jumped to 00:00!
good!
wait!
High-end puzzles often use the most common puzzle-solving methods!
perhaps!
To most players, this is a very speechless puzzle segment.
But in the eyes of Xu Xiaolin, who specializes in gaming, or Pew, a hardcore gamer,
This design is absolutely amazing!!!
"Genius! Damn Gu Sheng is a genius among geniuses! He is one of a kind in the world!!!"
Xu Xiaolin couldn't hide his excitement and shouted loudly in the somatosensory cabin!
wonderful!
That’s wonderful!
He completely understood the meaning of Gu Sheng's design!
Just like using a key to open a lock and using your mouth to eat!
In reality, if you want to transition the time from 23:59 to 00:00, what do you need to do?
Nonsense, of course I’ll wait!
Just wait a minute !
Yes!
In the game, Gu Sheng also used the same simple logic!
Let players wait for one minute, the same as in real life, and then the clock will naturally jump from 23:59 to 00:00!
This proves that you have now found the truth and escaped from the nightmare-like inner world!
now!
The boundary between the real world outside the cabin and the game world inside the cabin is blurred!
The concept of synchronized time flow allows players to subconsciously believe that they are in a real world built by Gu Sheng himself!
Everything that just happened is not a game, it is what you actually experienced!
And now!
The time has jumped from 23:59 to 00:00!
The door to the real world is about to open!
You are only one step away!
This kind of wonderful virtual experience is something Xu Xiaolin has never experienced before!
It can even be said that the experience brought to him by this "one minute" setting is no less than the unprecedented soul-shaking experience created by Lisa turning off the lights!
When Xu Xiaolin told Pew about this discovery, Pew kept shouting “This is impossible”!!!
It's incredible!
A simple trick can blur the boundary between games and reality, allowing the game to break the third wall and connect to the flow of time in the real world.
Even Pew raised a soul-searching question about this!
[Pew: This is fucking unbelievable! Is Sam really from this world? I even feel like he is from another dimension! And in his world, there stands a colorful game kingdom that is far beyond our imagination! ]
alien!
The exclamation of pew naturally made Xu Xiaolin laugh out loud!
It can be seen that Pew was really surprised by Gu Sheng's design.
While laughing!
Xu Xiaolin took a step forward!
And just when he came to the corner!
[Umm——Kuuuuu——]
Another baby laugh was heard.
It is said that people who love to laugh will not have bad luck.
It was just a coincidence here for Xu Xiaolin, as he took exactly ten steps after the last baby laugh.
And this happens to be the key element to decrypt the second ring.
After a pause, Xu Xiaolin saw that there was nothing unusual, so he continued to move forward.
But he just took a step!
Click!
Suddenly the chandelier in the foyer began to flash.
And in the flashing light, Lisa's tall and twisted figure appeared again!
Although I have been close to her dozens of times before.
But such a sudden appearance still made Xu Xiaolin shiver!
but!
It was only a brief panic.
After the panic, a complex emotion arose in his heart.
Indeed!
Gu Sheng's design is very shady. Not only does this guy make Lisa's image dirty and terrifying, he also gives her high-frequency twitching movements, making her look extremely unstable, as if she might go berserk and kill people at any time.
Even though he had seen it so many times, the huge psychological pressure still made Xu Xiaolin feel nervous.
but!
After learning about what Lisa had been through, he felt not only fear for her, but also sympathy and pity for her.
She was just a pure victim.
In fact, this time when they met in real life, her desire to attack became extremely low, or even non-existent.
A man and a ghost stood facing each other.
Lisa stopped crying and groaning in pain.
She just stood in the hallway, twitching and shaking in the flickering lights, as if waiting for something.
What is she waiting for?
Think for a while!
Xu Xiaolin suddenly had an idea in his mind!
He remembered the film "Phasmophobia" produced by Gu Sheng.
In that game, players need to talk to ghosts to induce ghost interaction.
Think of this!
Xu Xiaolin spoke slowly and tentatively:
"Hi, Lisa, nice to see you again..."
"I already know the truth of the matter,"
"Although I am not the murderer, as someone who experienced it, I still want to say one thing—"
"Feel sorry,"
"And now...it's time for me to leave with the truth."
Lisa didn't answer.
but!
The frequency of her body twitching seemed to decrease.
At the same time, Xu Xiaolin only felt that the whole house made a low roar!
Next second!
[Giggle—haha—]
A third baby laugh sounded.
Bang!
The chandelier lit up again, and the hollow sound that had been lingering in my ears disappeared.
And Lisa was nowhere to be seen.
Click--click--
The sound of the door lock opening automatically came from the hallway.
Xu Xiaolin took two steps forward!
call--
A cool breeze blew in through the gap in the room's door, dispelling the faint smell of blood in the infinite corridor.
Xu Xiaolin stood at the door in a daze for ten seconds!!!
13 reincarnations!
Nearly ten hours of non-stop gameplay!
Countless times of extreme thrills and disconnections and reconnections!
Double torture, both psychological and physical!
At this moment!
Finally got relief!
Xu Xiaolin couldn't even believe the scene before him.
The reborn-like experience made him accumulate complex tears in his eyes!
This is his freedom!
It is also a relief for Lisa who has been accumulating resentment for many years!
Like a dream, Xu Xiaolin came to the gate and slowly opened the door!
Rustle——
Outside the door!
It’s foggy!
A thick fog enveloped the town.
The streets were empty.
A small red jeep was parked right at the door.
Xu Xiaolin patted his pocket and found a bunch of car keys.
He successfully opened the door and started the car, and it looked like this was the car he drove last night.
On the rearview mirror of the car, there was a press card with his name on it.
Flip it over.
On the back of the press card is a line of handwritten words, which looks like a motto, and also like his expectation for himself:
[I will be committed to uncovering the most obscure and inaccessible news truth. This is my career and my lifelong pursuit]
[For the truth, I will do anything]
【——Miles Upshur】
So far!
Silent Hill PT came to a perfect end.
Xu Xiaolin knew who he was and why he was here.
The truth behind the long-forgotten murder case in the haunted house has been revealed, and I will continue on my journey as a reporter who sticks to my heart, to find more, more obscure, more bizarre and even outlandish news truths.
Xu Xiaolin took a last look at the haunted house that had once given him a nightmare-like experience and sighed deeply.
Unemployment? Injustice? Social problems?
Jealousy? Suspicion? Psychological illness?
He couldn't come to a conclusion as to what had led to this horrific murder.
Maybe both.
And he was just a reporter who was looking for the truth and experienced this nightmare cycle again here many years later.
Maybe Lisa just wants someone to know.
Once upon a time, here, in this now haunted house.
Lived as a family of three.
They once lived in harmony, happiness and love for each other.
She had never betrayed the family or done anything out of line.
That's all.
After thinking about it, Xu Xiaolin put the car in gear and lightly stepped on the accelerator.
The car slid forward.
In the hazy fog, Xu Xiaolin vaguely saw the sign at the intersection -
【silent Hill】
【Leave from here】
The car accelerates.
However!
Just when he was about to break through the thick fog and leave Silent Hill!
I saw a motorcycle slowly stopping by the side of the road on the lane diagonally opposite!
A man with a frown and a worried look on his face got off the motorcycle, took off his helmet and hung it on the rearview mirror of the motorcycle, then took out a letter from his pocket.
I looked at the letter and then at the road sign.
Then, he stepped into the thick fog.
"Hey!"
With a crunch!
Xu Xiaolin stopped the car and wanted to ask the man where he came from and why there was no one in this town called Silent Hill.
However.
When he stopped the car and looked back, the man holding the letter had disappeared, as if he had merged into the thick fog.
There was only one motorcycle left on the road, and next to it, a road sign stood quietly.
【silent Hill】
【Enter here】
And just when Xu Xiaolin was stunned!
Ding Dong!
A message alert sounded beside him.
Xu Xiaolin picked up his phone and found an email message on it.
【Sender:】
【recipient:】
【Theme: The truth needs to be revealed】
[You don’t know me, let’s cut to the chase. They are probably monitoring me.]
[I am currently...]
Due to the limited screen size of mobile phones.
So the content below is hidden.
Out of curiosity, Xu Xiaolin flipped his phone.
Following right on!
Everything went dark!
The graceful sound of the violin rang out——
【SilentHell(PlayableTeaser)】
【Silent Hill (PT)】
【KONAMI】
