Rebirth of the Game Pioneer

Chapter 236: Appearance and appearance should not be determined by the heart
After the two siblings made eye contact, they sat back and waited to watch the show.

After entering the main interface of the game, Clivia also realized that something was wrong.

There are not many functions available on the main interface. There is a gear icon for general settings, one for clearing archives, and the other is the big four words "Click to enter" below.

But these are secondary. In comparison, the obvious background picture is more eye-catching.

With a gloomy tone, the bright red sedan was placed alone on a piece of grass. The curtains reflecting the word "囍" were blowing in the wind, revealing a pair of bright red wedding shoes inside the sedan. There was a wedding dress looming above it, but it was clearly visible in the sedan. There was no sign of anyone, and it looked very strange and intrusive.

Seeing such a scene, Clivia also belatedly recalled the experience a month ago.

Combined with the name of the game, the theme of the story seems self-evident.

"Dark marriage." She raised her head and glanced at Gu Feng, her tone sounding like confirmation but not like questioning.

"En." Gu Feng replied simply, without explaining too much, because from Clivia's eyes, he only saw excitement and anticipation, but he didn't see the expected complaints and fear at all.

What more can be said?It can only be said that the other party really loves this kind of thing deeply.

After officially entering the game.

The opening is a cutscene and a simple novice guide.

Roughly speaking, a woman named Tao Mengyan saw a woman tied to a rack in the wild. The woman was wearing a wedding dress that seemed to be made of red paper.

Under the guidance of the novice, I picked up a ghost-headed knife and cut off the branches blocking the road, and then took a closer look.

Tao Mengyan: [Oh my god, this is... myself? 】

The face under the red hijab was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, but the words spoken by the game heroine Tao Mengyan made Clivia think the joke was not funny at all.

Tao Mengyan: [Is it me... tied to the sacrificial altar? 】

It sounds like just a normal self-talk, but the amount of information revealed in it is not small.

Is it a nightmare or identical twin sisters?
According to the formula of TV series, the most likely options are just these two.

[In July and a half, the bride gets married, and her relatives and friends burst into tears.Wear a wedding dress made of paper and never see your lover again. 】

An unexpected nursery rhyme sounded, and the boys and girls sang cleanly and brightly. If the situation were different and the lyrics were not carefully listened to, the singing might sound a bit innocent, but in the context of such a story, combined with the fear of careful thinking, Lyrics, Clivia only felt that her scalp was numb at that moment.

Even Gu Lan, who was watching her play, felt as if a cold wind was blowing through the room.

The innocent and beautiful nursery rhyme meets the chilling ghost marriage. Not only does it not feel inconsistent at all, but it creates a unique and weird atmosphere of terror.

After the nursery rhyme, a group of weird puppets appeared, and then, accompanied by a weird sound effect, a guy in a general's theatrical robe suddenly appeared from the bottom of the screen. He had a ferocious face, holding a big sword high, and was about to face the screen. He slashed at the protagonist with a knife, but before he could swing the knife, the ferocious head with facial makeup suddenly slid to the side.

"Ah - Huh -" I have to say that although jumpscare is the lowest level of terror-making techniques, the effect is really good.

Clivia didn't say anything more, she just took two deep breaths, and after she calmed down, she continued playing.

The fact was as she expected, everything just now was just a nightmare. From Tao Mengyan's self-talk or inner monologue, she can understand that when she was very young, she moved with her parents to a village called Zangling Village and grew up there. I don’t know when she started having the same nightmare from time to time, and as she got older, the nightmares became more frequent.

Tao Mengyan also asked her parents, but her parents seemed to know something, but they kept it secret. She had no choice. If she continued like this, she thought she would go crazy one day, so she decided to go back to Zangling Village to investigate and see if she could Find out something related to nightmares.

After returning to the village.

Tao Mengyan: [This seems to be my previous home?The door is open. 】

Tao Mengyan: [Is anyone here? 】

The room is relatively simple in layout. There is an old-fashioned TV set right next to the door. On the wall above it, a word "囍" is clearly posted. A burning candle is currently placed on the center of the room.

Clivia gulped, feeling an ominous premonition. Could it be that she was about to encounter a ghost as soon as she got home?It's not that she is overly sensitive, but it does seem like something Gu Feng could do. Her man doesn't know it yet?On the surface, he looks upright, but in fact he is sinister.

Click on the conversation to continue.

Suddenly, a... bald head appeared on the screen...

Village Chief: [Are you Mengyan from the Tao family?You are finally back in the village, come in, come in. 】

"Hey! It turns out to be the village chief." Clivia was almost startled when she saw the person who suddenly appeared.

"Don't let your guard down, I don't feel like this village chief is a good person." Gu Lan, who was sitting next to Clivia and watching, reminded.

"Ok?"

"Don't you think this guy looks a bit wretched? And how did he sneak into our house in the middle of the night? Even if this guy is not an insider of the nightmare, he is still an old pervert after all."

"It makes sense. Since this guy is the village chief, if there are any supernatural events in this village, he must be the person most likely to know more inside details." Clivia nodded. If it is an ordinary puzzle game, such a simple judgment She certainly didn't need to be reminded to think that the main reason for her slow thinking was... fear...

The heroine Tao Mengyan was also very puzzled. She thought it was strange that the other party could recognize her at a glance even though she had grown so big.

What the village chief said next was even more intriguing.

[I am the village chief, don’t you remember?I hugged you when I was a child. Not much has changed. You look exactly the same as when you were a child. 】

If in reality, an elder who had not seen him for a long time said to his younger generation, "It's still the same as before, not much has changed." It would sound quite normal, but when this sentence is put into this situation, it is inexplicably scary. Panic, I always feel that everything is a little weird.

Village Chief: [Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, I will prepare dinner for you. 】

"Huh? So good? Did we blame him wrongly?" Gu Lan was a little unsure.

Before Clivia could respond, Gu Feng interjected: "You shouldn't be judged by appearance..."

Tao Mengyan also said politely to the bald village chief: [No need, I just...]

But mid-sentence, the village chief suddenly rushed out and the door was suddenly closed from the outside.

Along with it, there was a loud shout from the village chief: [The paper bride is back, hurry up and prepare for the wedding banquet.Hold the door and don't let her escape! 】

Inside and outside the game, the atmosphere in the air was awkwardly quiet.

In the original work, the action of the village chief jumping out and closing the door was only explained in words. However, in order to make this place more expressive, Gu Feng directly made the cutscene here. Anyway, it is only a one-second shot, which is not enough. Not difficult.

And in order to show the speed of the jump, Gu Feng specially used a technique commonly used in animation, which is what people often call a swoop.

"I'll go! It's too much! You, an old man, run so fast, why don't you go to the Olympics to win glory for the country?" Clivia was stunned. Although the words spoken by the village chief were a bit scary, the scene just now didn't look scary at all. On the contrary, there was a sense of joy.

Gu Lan slightly raised her eyelids to look at Gu Feng and smiled: "You can't tell a person by his appearance?"

Gu Feng smiled dryly and said: "Feeling comes from the heart."
