You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

The night was dark and the fog was rolling, like countless twisted phantoms whispering in the darkness.

Hualu raised her head slightly. Her face was pale, and her lips were an abnormal bluish-white from blood loss. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and even her breathing had become intermittent.

But she still persisted, using her last bit of strength to look up at Wang Lina in front of her.

Her voice was weak, but it held an indescribable tenderness.

“…Wang Lina.”

Wang Lina's figure stood in the fog, her deep red pupils flashing with unstable light, and the expression on her face looked like pain and ecstasy.

Hualu's breathing became increasingly rapid, and every time she spoke, the wound in her chest would throb violently with pain. But even so, there was still a hint of pity in her eyes.

No...it's not just pity, but also deep sorrow.

"I'm really... so sorry."

She whispered, her voice almost inaudible as if carried by the wind.

Wang Lina's expression froze slightly.

"Your pollution..."

Hualu's fingers trembled slightly, as if she wanted to stretch out, but then hung down weakly.

"Even I can't purify..."

The moment these words were spoken, the air suddenly froze.

Tang Yin's consciousness was already blurred, and he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

But - the wolf understood.

Wang Lina's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body swayed slightly uncontrollably, as if some force had hit her hard in the deepest corner of her heart.

Then she smiled.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

Her laughter was sharp and crazy, as if she was mocking someone, but also as if she was mocking herself.

"I knew it."

Her eyes became empty, but the curve of her mouth became higher and higher, and her whole aura completely collapsed.

“I’m going to kill you! Where are you? Come out right here—Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Her roar echoed through the mountains and forests, and the fog swirled violently, as if the entire space was resonating.

The next second, her figure disappeared in the mist.

Everything falls silent.

Hua Lu's body finally couldn't hold on any longer, and she suddenly fell to her knees, with blood dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Her vision was blurry and her consciousness was rapidly fading, but she still tried to raise her head and whispered softly in a gentle voice -

"Ah... I'm sorry, Mr. Tang Yin..."

Her voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind.

There was deep remorse and guilt in her eyes.

"I couldn't protect Wang Lina or anyone else..."

Tang Yin's consciousness was already shaky and his body had completely lost consciousness.

But at the last moment, he used all his strength and fell towards her.

He slowly reached out and held Hualu's cold fingers.

"next time……"

His voice was weak and almost inaudible.

The corners of Hualu's mouth trembled slightly, and a soft light appeared in her eyes.

"I will convey my feelings."

[End of the second week, to be continued]

……

The scene froze at the final ending of the game, and a line of small white text appeared on the black screen.

The screen in the live broadcast room gradually dimmed and froze on the final ending of **The Mystery of the Hidden Mist Village Second Week Ended**.

Black screen. White text. Silence.

G-chan took off her headphones and leaned back in her gaming chair, staring blankly at the screen, her golden ponytails swaying gently with her movements. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just let out a long breath.

"……hiss."

She rubbed her face, as if trying to pull herself out of the immersion in the game.

"This game... is really... awesome."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were still on the screen, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the emotional storm that had just occurred.

But she did not pause for too long. Soon, her fingers began to tap frantically on the keyboard, typing out her shocking long comment on the social platform word by word.

——【G-chan】

"I've cleared the second round of 'The Hidden Mist Village'! I'm about to burst!"

"First of all, the plot is explosive! It doesn't follow the usual tropes at all. The amount of information in the second game doubles. Many of the details from the first game give me chills just thinking back on them!"

"Wang Lina...is she a monster or a victim? Her madness, her obsession, her struggle, every detail makes my heart race!"

"The ending of Hualu really broke me down. Her last words, 'Next time, I will express my feelings,' made me cry my eyes out!"

"Tang Yin's characterization is simply god-level! His growth line is extremely realistic, from his initial struggle to his later awakening, every step is heart-wrenching!"

"The NPC AI design is incredible, isn't it? Wang Lina's actions aren't like traditional horror game monsters at all. She's more like a real-life 'hunter.' Every time she appears, she hits the player's defenses!"

“The atmosphere is truly amazing! The background music, sound effects, scenes, and narrative style—not a single detail is superfluous. Every frame heightens the sense of terror and suspense!”

"The foreshadowing is textbook! I thought it was a meaningless detail, but by the second playthrough I realized it was all hidden threads. The plot is seamless, and intelligent players will be delighted!"

"What shocked me the most was that this game didn't provide players with a 'real safe zone'! Even as the plot progressed, danger could strike at any time. This design is too cruel!"

"Taoyuanxiang is truly amazing! A domestic horror game can achieve this level of immersion, I truly want to call it a 'masterpiece'!"

“If there’s no DLC or a third game, I’ll really go crazy!”

"Please, let me experience this ultimate story impact again—"

"Tang Yin's growth arc is truly amazing, especially the psychological description in the second round. The immersion is explosive!"

"The background music is amazing! Especially the final battle scene, it really made my heart race!"

"The foreshadowing was so tight, and the amount of information added in the second round made me question my life!"

"I hope Taoyuan Township can have DLC! I'm willing to pay for it! I'm willing to buy the season pass! I'm willing to crowdfund!"

"G-chan, when is the third round coming? I'll really go crazy if this game doesn't give me a third round!"

"Please, Taoyuan Township, it would be a crime if this game didn't have a sequel!"

G-chan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the rapidly refreshing barrage of comments filling the screen.

She put her hands together and made a gesture of worship to the camera, her tone was unusually serious.
