Multiple Perspectives Witness the Crisis

"What the hell is this thing?"

The Zai Zong somewhat surprised.

Inside the observation room at the front, apart from two lamps and a backdrop, there was nothing else.

Even the entire observation room was airtight. A glass panel of the same width and height was installed on the front wall, allowing people to see the scene inside.

But strangely, even though no one was standing inside, the two floodlights cast the shadows of four people on the white backdrop!

How can a shadow be cast even when no one is there?

There's a problem!

At this moment, through the perspective of the main character, Zai Zong could clearly see the body outlines of these four shadows.

The first projection is of a tall, slender, and mature woman.

The other three projections were male demons with horns on their heads!

At this moment, the four projections are performing a brutal act on the backdrop in the form of a silent film!

The female projection is positioned as if leaning against a door, but there is no projection of a door on the canvas.

She was desperately pushing against the non-existent/invisible door while waving her hand in the direction of her view, as if calling for help.

Meanwhile, the three demonic projections were frantically smashing the 'air door' in front of them.

Although Zai Zong couldn't see anything on the backdrop except for four projections, their body language clearly indicated what they were doing.

That is.

Use force!

Through the researcher's perspective, Zai Zong saw the female projection constantly waving at the door.

It seemed to be pleading with the viewer to help her.

The researcher, who was in the primary viewpoint, ignored it and simply kept his head down, recording something.

Soon, when he looked up again, the Zai Zong in front of the screen was stunned.

No, you should say he was completely dumbfounded!

Through the researcher's perspective, he saw the three horned demon projections in the observation room successfully break into the 'room'.

Then

They took turns doing despicable things to the female projection!

The female projection remained unresponsive, allowing the three demonic projections to assault her relentlessly.

seem

He was already dead.

At this moment, the researcher once again looked down to take notes.

He wrote down things he couldn't understand while making casual comments.

[As expected, it's the same way of dying again. Aside from the faster time frame, the posture, number of people, and frequency are unchanged. How strange.]

Upon seeing this, Zai Zong was stunned, his mind racing.

He couldn't comment on the researcher's indifference and aloofness.

But the content projected on the backdrop in front of him truly filled him with grief and indignation, and also made his blood boil.

At the same time, a strange impulse gradually welled up, making him blush and feel distracted.

"Is this supposed to be shown to a kid like me?!"

"Those three damn beasts!!!"

Meanwhile, viewers and fans in the live stream also started sending out barrage comments.

"I'm no longer pure"

"Is this something you can watch for free...?"

"It feels so exciting! There are no real people, no sounds, only shadows. It's like a woman partially veiled, leaving you with endless fantasies!"

"Ah, I can't live anymore, my society is dead. My sister just came over and asked me what I was looking at. She leaned right in to look and even gave me a sly smile. Damn it, I'm done for, my image is completely ruined, my society is dead!"

"Showing me this in the middle of the night? Holy crap, I was instantly thrilled!"

With the barrage of comments flooding in, Zai Zong hadn't even had time to read them carefully. The next second, an alarm went off.

The researcher paused for a moment, then looked up.

Seeing the flashing Red Light alarm light, he put down the document in his hand and was about to get up when he inadvertently discovered...

Inside the observation room, the three throbbing demonic projections had somehow stood up.

They stood side by side, all facing the direction of the view.

Then, under the illumination of the floodlights, it began to move around, and the resulting image was a projection that gradually grew larger.

It looks as if it's getting closer.

The screen went black again.

The Zai Zong looked on with some surprise and doubt.

He didn't know what happened to the researcher afterward, but he guessed it was probably a bad omen.

But what was that scene just now?

Two lamps, a piece of cloth, four projectors, a silent film?

Is this also a numbered anomaly?

Are the female projection and the three demon projections inside real or fake?

There were no real people inside, only projections.

But what is a cycle?

A series of questions filled Zai Zong's mind.

He had absolutely no clue about these problems.

The trailers are becoming increasingly mysterious and eerie!

It turns out that the statue at the beginning of the video was just the beginning!

Now another strange, almost living, camera light has appeared.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

Soon, the perspective shifts again in the trailer.

The Zai Zong then ended up in the body of another person whose identity was unknown.

He is seen riding on top of a researcher in a white coat and beating him violently from a first-person perspective.

The person beneath him was no pushover either, fighting back fiercely and hurling insults at him.

The surrounding environment looks like an indoor space, not an outdoor corridor, and the lighting is rather dim.

The two men, who were fighting each other, were suddenly interrupted by a strange roar from afar.

The person in the first-person perspective paused, looking around warily.

This gave the researchers beneath them a chance to fight back!

He yelled "Fuck!" and then pushed himself up.

The person in the first-person perspective stumbles and falls backward, bumping into a strange stone container.

As he straightened himself up and was about to continue forward, he noticed that the researchers suddenly looked terrified.

This immediately piqued Zai Zong's curiosity.

What did this person see?

So it turned its head along with the viewer, and then

The viewer's left hand rested on a blue crystal that was about half a person's height.

And that hand was now rapidly crystallizing, bit by bit.

until

Suddenly everything went black, the screen went completely black, Zai Zong was stunned.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!"

"Zai Zong exclaimed again."

What a strange and amazing thing!

One touch, and it turned a person into... well... ice or crystal?

He couldn't see it clearly at first, so he went back to take a look and finally confirmed that it was crystal.

"This thing is awesome! I bet it's some kind of anomaly! Just like the Illusion Helmet!"

"But this thing is too dangerous. I wonder if it exists in the game. I want to use it as a weapon. I want to try throwing it at that statue and see if it crystallizes too."

The audience in the live stream quickly responded to what Zai Zong said.

A prominent comment worth 50 yuan floated by, saying, "Yay! I thought of a bug that even the production team wouldn't have thought of! I'm so smart!"

"Thanks for the 50 yuan tip, brother! Thank you, thank you! Get lost!"

Zai Zong understood the meaning of those words perfectly. Since he was a long-time fan, he thanked them before criticizing them and continued watching the trailer.

Now, let's change our perspective again.

They came across a person hiding under a table.

From his casual glance, we can see that the person taking this view is still wearing orange clothes.

It's just that I don't know what they're hiding from, which is intriguing.

However, this curiosity did not last long.

Almost instantly, through the video's main perspective, Zai Zong saw one.

Medieval Plague Doctor?

"Holy crap? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Because of the owner's slight glance, Zai Zong couldn't see clearly.

Because it's a video, he can't control the perspective within it.

However, judging from the angle in the trailer where the owner ducks down, we can tell that he is very scared and wants to avoid this Plague Doctor!

[I can help you; I can see your hope to live. So I will heal you, and your desire is worth it.]

A strange sound, as if coming from a receiver, rang out.

As the sound rang out, the person viewing the scene trembled violently, and the entire screen shook noticeably.

Clearly, he was afraid and he was keeping silent.

[I am a doctor, and I can see the plague on your body; it is contagious. But rest assured, I can cure you, and only I can completely heal you.]

Zai Zong finally realized that the strange, earpiece-like voice was coming from this Plague Doctor!

Damn, what a strange tone of voice, what a strange manner of speaking.

But why would a medieval Plague Doctor appear in a modern facility?

The Zai Zong puzzled, but he guessed that this was probably an anomaly as well.

It was just a little beyond his expectations.

Because he had never seen or heard of a game featuring a medieval Western Plague Doctor with a beak.

Today, he truly broadened his horizons.

And it was indeed quite terrifying!

Its image is absolutely perfect!

Through his first-person perspective, hidden under the table, he watched the Plague Doctor in a black robe slowly pass by, talking about plague and cure.

It made people afraid to even breathe.

However, since it was just a trailer and we were on screen, there wasn't much to be afraid of.

At the very least, Zai Zong who has been through a few Horror Games is less afraid.

Soon, the footsteps faded into the distance in the video until they disappeared completely.

With this peaceful coexistence, the person hiding under the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, just as he was about to climb out and leave, he subconsciously glanced back and saw the Plague Doctor behind him, silently staring at him.

This scene was quite horrifying.

However, for Zai Zong has been through the trials of several games, this level is just so-so.

The perspective shifts again.

This time, it was a person lying on their back on the ground.

It seems she fell.

In the field of vision, there is also a bearded man carrying a shoulder bag and wearing an orange shirt.

He was looking around anxiously.

The alarm bells of danger continue to ring.

[Damn it! How long are you going to lie here?!]

The bearded man possessed the body and anxiously spoke to the viewer's owner, extending his right hand.

[Get up! Do you want to die?!]

Then, Zai Zong saw the owner of the perspective tremblingly reach out a hand and tightly grasp the bearded man's hand.

The scene changes the next second.

In the chaotic, riotous corridor, the bearded man used his body to brace against the closing automatic door, shouting loudly.

[Hurry! I can't hold on any longer!]

The camera then begins to race at top speed. Just before the doors close, the camera follows the bearded man through the mechanical door.

Immediately afterwards, everywhere you looked, people dressed in orange were yelling and running away.

The surrounding environment was a mess, and the intense gunfire never stopped.

There were even two strange teardrop-shaped objects mixed in, which disappeared along with the crowd.

[Oh my god, they're all out!]

The bearded man's voice came from the video.

This statement further confirmed Zai Zong's suspicions.

"I knew it! That humanoid statue at the beginning was just the beginning!"

"Control Failure doesn't refer to just one anomaly, but to all anomalies!"

"My God! I know what this game is all about now. Holy crap! If nothing unexpected happens, the next game will definitely have other anomalies besides the humanoid statue, the camera light, the crystal, and the Plague Doctor we just saw!"

"Brothers! This game will probably help us understand the mysterious organization, the Control Bureau, even better!"

As soon as Zai Zong speaking, as if to confirm his guess, the CG trailer showed another new anomaly.

This made everyone watching on the screen, whether players or netizens, widen their eyes!

Because it was a creature they had never seen since they became aware of it?

A huge group of rotting corpses!

roar--

A chilling roar rang out.

The scene changes in the video.

The protagonist and the bearded man are trapped in a security room with glass walls.

Outside, layer upon layer of bloody, rotting, and nauseating corpses surrounded the area!

Some of them wore orange clothes, some wore white robes, and some were even fully armed.

Clearly, they were originally supposed to be people!

But at this moment, it has become a rotting corpse that makes Zai Zong feel nauseous.

The person viewing the scene also seemed very frightened.

Amidst the shouts outside the security room, she retreated in panic and bumped into the wall.

When she subconsciously turned around, she saw a scene that Zai Zong vomit on the spot!

That was a person, or rather, a highly decomposed person.

Its face was covered with shrunken wrinkles and grime.

His hair was sparse and his body was thin and bony.

His face and the whites of his eyes had an eerie yellowish tinge, and the entire piece of flesh from his jaw to his throat was missing, his clothes soaked in scarlet.

Even more disgusting was that the rotten bits of flesh were still hanging on the face, swaying as the head moved.

Netizens felt nauseous the moment they saw this 'monster'!

Are these even human?!

It's definitely a person!

Because the clothes they were wearing were those of D-Class Personnel, researchers, and security personnel.

But these people are dead! They're all rotten! Yet they can still move!?

Judging from the way they kept reaching out and hitting the glass wall, splattering blood, you could tell they were no pushovers.

At this moment, the bearded man in the video stepped forward and grabbed the person in the video.

"Don't be afraid! These ghostly things must have touched something they shouldn't have to be doing this. We're safe here!"

As he spoke, he took a Rattle Bell out of his satchel.

"This is a good thing. I heard from a man in white that it can be used to resolve dangers. Why don't you give it a try!"

Without any hesitation, the owner of the viewpoint took the Rattle Bell and began to shake it.

As the ding-a-ling sound rang out.

The next second, the mechanical door outside the security room suddenly opened.

A Bald Man in a well-fitting uniform walked in, his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding a tray.

He ignored the horde of rotting corpses in front of him and spoke as he walked.

[Good afternoon, Ms. Lawrence. I am Butler Deeds. How may I help you?]

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

The steward was then swarmed by the rotting corpses, who began to devour him.

Blood spurted out immediately, splattering onto the walls and the corpses.

He died before he could even scream!

The Zai Zong yelling "Damn it!"

He had never seen such a scene before!

But before the Zai Zong finish being shocked, the person in the perspective Rattle Bell again.

Accompanied by a jingling sound.

The mechanical door opened again.

The well-mannered, uniformed, bald butler from before walked in again in the same manner.

[Good afternoon, Ms. Lawrence. It's a pleasure to serve you again. Is there anything I can do for you this time?]

The Bald Man in the black butler's uniform once again ignored the horde of corpses and the body that had been in front of him.

But he hadn't taken two steps before he was once again overwhelmed by the horde of corpses.

This scene left Zai Zong dumbfounded!

So much so that he exclaimed "Damn it!" in the live stream!

I'll post it first, then revise it gradually.
