[I'm so stupid, really. I only knew that seeing an empty fuse box meant bad luck, but I didn't expect someone to be so mentally ill as to create such a hellish level...]
[I'm so stupid...really...]
A streamer said this at the end of the game's level commentary.
It’s too dark!
Although the difficulty of this level is not high, after all, it is a simple surrender puzzle level, the setting of the puzzle is not tricky, most of them are concentrated on the dismantling of some mechanisms, and even many clues can be said to be explicit.
Moreover, in terms of monster ability settings, the strength of the freak is also in the middle and lower reaches in the entire Golden Wind Horror Universe.
It does not have the terrifying speed and unpredictable form of Valreid in Escape, nor the immortal body and brutal aggressiveness of the old man in Resident Evil 7, nor the ability to kill instantly without warning like Lisa in PT.
but!
This level is still hailed as the most haunted level in the Golden Wind game, and even in the history of motion-sensing games around the world!
No doubt about it!
Because it not only has the thrilling atmosphere that Golden Wind has been continuously polishing and perfecting since ".", but also has the most complete and cutting-edge technology in the history of somatosensory cabin games!
The improved immersion brought about by technological upgrades is so obvious!
With the graphics of Phoenix, the sound effects of Aurora Games, the reality enhancement of Dream Engine, and the top technology of the full sensory assistance of Yiyou II.
The Benevento basement level in Life 8 undoubtedly makes all players experience a terrifying nightmare that is exactly like reality!
The game lasted only about half an hour (theoretically), but it caused countless players around the world to scream and call Gu Sheng "the best in the world"——
The world's number one psychopath!
[He really knows games! I'm afraid that in today's gaming industry, no one can understand the mentality of most players better than Sam. Especially with the unparalleled technical support, the players' every move and even every joy and sorrow are all under his control. Poor players are just like Tom, being played around by him...]
——Review by Simon, editor-in-chief of SNG
[…PT’s status has even been shaken. Just like what many players joked, “The freak in Birth 8 is the Plus version of Lisa’s child in Birth 8.” In terms of creating a horror atmosphere and creating spiritual creation, the freak level in Birth 8 is also better than the original in terms of senses. Although a large part of this is due to the enhanced sense of immersion brought about by technological innovation, it is undeniable that - in general, it is definitely the scariest game level in history…]
——Hummingbird Forum
[This is enough to prove that the Golden Wind's horror creation has reached its peak and reached perfection. They no longer need to use monsters with oppressive abilities to set off the atmosphere. Gu Sheng demonstrated with actual actions what is the real top psychological fear - no insane speed, no inexplicable instant kills, no wielding swords and guns to play tricks - he only needs a slowly crawling freak to make all the players in the world disconnect...]

For a moment!
The topic of the gaming circle at the end of the year was all dominated by "Resident Evil VIII"!
And the same!
Sheng 8, which has enjoyed such popularity, did not disappoint the players!
In the following levels, with its superb technical skills and imaginative design, Sheng8 brings the same exhilarating experience to players!
After escaping the pursuit of the freaks, players will take the elevator all the way up and start a fantasy and thrilling "hide and seek" with the second of the Four Heavenly Kings, the puppeteer Benevento.
However, this time, the Golden Wind brought a refreshing two-level reversal.
The hiding party became Benevento, while Ethan transformed into Jack from The Shining, and started a crazy hunt for Benevento in the mansion. In the end, he pierced the puppeteer's head with a sharp knife and lifted the illusion.
Yes, all the nightmarish and terrifying experiences just now, including the surrender of guns, the deformed fetus, hide-and-seek, etc., were all illusions created by Benevento using the hallucinogenic pollen in the yard.
Ethan also got the second mysterious yellow jar containing Rose.
Then, the pace continued.
He soon found the third king, "Mermaid Moro", in the reservoir behind the village.
Although this guy is not very intelligent, as the saying goes, low intelligence leads to recklessness. In terms of destructive power and offensive desire, Moro can be said to be the most ferocious among the first three kings.
This battle with Moreau can be said to be the most "exciting and lively" battle in the entire Resident Evil 8.
[Golden Wind perfectly presents a tense battle that is linked together. Its tight rhythm, three-dimensional layers, and exquisite layout can be called a textbook level design. ]——SLGamers disassembly review.
In this level, players first need to transform the environment by solving puzzles to create combat conditions that are favorable to themselves.
Since the battle took place in a reservoir, and Moro, as a king with the ability of a mermaid mutation, was invincible in water.
Therefore, players need to trigger the mechanism and force Moro onto land first, that is, complete the first stage by solving puzzles.
And then, when Morrow comes ashore, he will transform like the Lady, becoming a giant monstrous fish and entering the second phase of the battle.
After the transformation, Moro was still very shocking. Not only did he rush around recklessly, but he also had an extremely strong desire to attack.
Its overall shape is also very "unique".
Not only was his body covered with pustules, but after turning into a strange fish, his back was also covered with huge, rotating eyes, like apple snail eggs, densely packed on his back.
There is horror in the distortion, nausea in the horror, and a full sense of oppression in the nausea——
Ethan was no longer feeling aggrieved.
As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle, and a hard song deserves a hard job.
Grenade launchers, sniper rifles, shotguns, mines... and high-explosive gunpowder barrels in the scene.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the roar of the BOSS rushing around and the deafening explosions of guns and cannons.
Add to that the “mercy of the old thief” – the constant appearance of ammunition supplies in the scene.
The entire BOSS battle experience is a huge battle excitement.
So far!
Three of the four kings under Miranda's seat are gone!
And three jars containing Rose have been collected, and the last one is still missing.
However!
Just as the players are getting ready and vowing to take down the last king, "Martial Arts Scholar" Heisenberg!
The development of the plot, however, took an unexpected turn——
After passing through the gate and following the path on the outskirts of the village, Ethan soon arrived at Heisenberg's factory.
Build roads through mountains and build bridges over rivers.
Soon Ethan arrived at a workshop.
The place was filled with the smell of engine oil and the ground was covered with oil stains. It looked like an old workshop that had existed for many years.
When Ethan lifted the dirty cloth in front of the workbench in the corner, he unexpectedly discovered that Heisenberg seemed to have been plotting something.
Because on the wall panel of the workbench, there are not only pictures of Miranda and the other three kings, but also family photos of Mia and Rose, as well as information about the BSAA team led by Chris.
Many crisscrossing red lines connected the photos and the information, and Heisenberg even drew a big circle around the goddess Miranda with a red pen, as if she was the ultimate goal.
Ethan couldn't help but frown in confusion: "What the...?"
However!
Before he could finish his words!
【The truth always hurts, doesn’t it?】
Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded behind him!
call--!!!
Ethan quickly turned around and drew his gun, pointing it directly behind him!
The person who came was none other than the last king of the four major families - Heisenberg!
However, facing Ethan's gun, Heisenberg had no intention of fighting, not even hostility. He just took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a cloud of mist:
"Let me guess... You want to kill me like you did those three idiots, and then get Rose back, right?"
Hearing this.
Ethan was silent for a moment, then put down his gun and said seriously:
"It's not 'reclaim', it's 'rescue'."
I don't know what the hell you are doing.
I don't know what you want.
All I know is that Rose is my daughter.
Although she has now been divided into different parts by you using special means, and is regarded by you as parts of some kind of tool.
But to me - a father.
No matter what she becomes, she is my daughter and a living person.
It can neither be "repaired" nor "taken back".
I want my daughter to come back safe and healthy.
Seeing this, Heisenberg didn't say much, just shrugged his shoulders, and then moved a chair for Ethan to sit down:
"You've got it all wrong, Ethan. You've been fooled."
"What?" Ethan didn't understand: "What did you trick me into doing?"
"By her——!"
As he was speaking, Heisenberg suddenly threw a flying knife back and nailed it hard on the portrait hanging on the wall:
"Look at these ugly and disgusting things! An oversized bitch, a psychopathic psychopath, and a retarded mama's boy fat mermaid. Don't you understand?"
"This is just a fucking test, to see if you are qualified enough to join Miranda's family!"
And as Heisenberg said the word "Family"!
The players were in an uproar——!
"Lumberjack! Lumberjack again!"
'Here he comes! The Lumberjack !'
"Shocked! So Miranda is essentially no different from my father-in-law's family. She is also going to invite Ethan to become a member of her team of lumberjacks?"
"The entire GW biochemical is a huge lumberjack (laugh cry)"
'I thought of the fear of being invited by the Baker family in Resident Evil 7'
'Ethan's silence is deafening (dog head)'
"Raising a Gu, right? Whoever can kill the old four kings will become the new king. The main thing is the wolf nature!"
'Old capitalist, Miranda the god of streetlights'
'God of street lights haha ​​...
'Resident Evil VIII: Family'
"Too rough..."
"……"
The players were all shocked and amazed at the darkly humorous callback-style plot development of Golden Wind.
And Ethan opened his mouth, obviously not interested in joining Miranda's family:
"I have no interest in any family. I just want to save my daughter."
"Of course, of course, of course!"
However, Ethan's words seemed to stimulate Heisenberg.
He suddenly raised his voice, his tone filled with anger:
"I don't want to either, but what's the result? Kill the old one and replace him. This is the survival rule of the Miranda family! Damn it!!!"
BANG——CRASH——!!!
As Heisenberg waved his hands angrily!
The flying knife that had pierced into the wall panel suddenly flew into the air and cut the entire wall panel in half!
Seeing this, Ethan frowned and said in a deep voice: "I say it again, I am not interested in the mess between you two. I just want my Rose back!"
"Of course! Rose—! Rose—! Little Rose—!!!"
Upon hearing this, Heisenberg shouted loudly, as if he had heard very exciting news.
then!
Then he moved closer to Ethan and lowered his voice:
"Do you know how strong that little brat is? Even the Mother Goddess Miranda is afraid of her—"
After saying that.
Heisenberg patted Ethan on the shoulder, his words filled with restless instigation:
"You, me, Ethan... let's fix Rose..."
"Then use her to grind that bitch Miranda into a pulp!!!"
The ultimate traitor speaks!
There is no doubt that Heisenberg's rebellious nature has a long history.
Even though he is the most powerful among the Four Heavenly Kings.
But it was obvious that he did not voluntarily accept Miranda's transformation.
The exact reason is unknown, but Heisenberg must have hated Miranda for turning him into this.
Moreover, he also hated Miranda's behavior which was almost like "raising poisonous insects".
The Four Heavenly Kings are not eternal.
They are just the four heavenly kings of this batch.
In order to end it all, stop the Family scam of the four major families, and also to avenge his past, Heisenberg defected at the critical moment, trying to win over Ethan and use Rose to kill Miranda.
However!
Faced with Heisenberg's proposal, Ethan remained silent.
The nightmare experience at Baker Farm flashed through his mind like a vision.
Reports of missing persons, Myers' fruitless investigation, the miserable Baker family...
And the terrible, hateful, yet pitiful Evelyn—
A biological weapon created for use in a ruthless war, and a little girl who longed for the warmth of family and went astray on the path of destruction.
In the flames of memories, the rapidly aging Evelin sat in a wheelchair, crying out "It hurts" in sorrow and misery, with dark tears flowing from her sunken eye sockets...
The past is still vivid in my mind.
Ethan's voice was firm and unquestionable:
[Rose is not a biological weapon, she is my daughter]
handsome!
At this moment, when players follow the prompts and say this sentence through Ethan's mouth, the emotional connection with an ordinary yet great father is also completed!
From castles to mansions to reservoirs.
Ethan's belief never changed -
[Dad won’t let the monsters in fairy tales get close to you]
even if--!
Bang! Pop!
Hearing this, Heisenberg became furious and kicked Ethan, who was sitting on the chair, directly into the bottomless dark well behind him, and grabbed his arm at the critical moment!
"I'll give you one last chance to change your mind,"
Heisenberg grabbed Ethan's arm, temporarily preventing him from falling into the well, and threatened:
"You don't want to know what's down there."
But the next moment!
Ethan subconsciously grabbed Heisenberg's hand, but then let go on his own initiative.
A middle finger was extended to the ambitious Heisenberg.
Ethan, who is always good-tempered, calmly and confidently cursed out his first swear word in the series, with clear and loud pronunciation:
【Fuck You】
"Fuck you, don't even think about it."
Seeing this, Heisenberg finally lost his patience and said, "Then go to hell."
That’s it!
Then Heisenberg suddenly let go!
call--!
Followed by a series of collision sounds!
Bang!
Ethan fell into a dark well and everything in front of him was blurry!
However, before he could catch his breath!
Next second!
Woo-woo—hum—thump-thump-thump—!
A burst of motor noise suddenly sounded behind the iron door in front of him...
