Is the Protagonist an Anomaly?
At this time, the game channels on the Danmu Network were fiercely competitive.
Aside from Zai Zong's live stream, Xin Xin's stream actually had higher viewership.
However, it wasn't because she was particularly good at playing games, or particularly talkative and interactive.
Instead, she did a lot of crazy things in this game, almost all of them died in fancy ways!
For example, she stumbled upon a Random Quest and rescued a researcher from a teddy bear made of ears.
In gratitude, the researchers gave her a Level 2 Keycard.
She was also told that there was Level 3 Keycard in the control room of W-FBC-0205 that she could retrieve.
So, Xin Xin arrived at the control room of W-FBC-0205 and found that this was exactly the location of the three men and one woman camera lights shown in the trailer!
At this point, the female projection on the backdrop had not yet died tragically, but the demon projection had already assumed a violent stance.
Upon seeing this, knowing the outcome of the scene, Xin Xin did something that made everyone in the live stream widen their eyes in order to help the female projection on the backdrop.
Without hesitation, she used her Level 3 Keycard to open the mechanical door of the observation room, rushed in, and slapped the two camera lights away!
As a result, the three demon projections on the screen became enraged and disappeared directly from the background cloth!
Then Xin Xin was beaten to death by some unseen force.
To make matters worse, she forgot to save her game and had to go back to the control room to get the Level 3 Keycard.
On another occasion, she used Level 2 Keycard to open the control room door of Z-FBC-1025 (the door opposite the Flesh Beast in the previous chapter).
What I discovered was that what was being controlled inside was actually a disease encyclopedia, and I could even open it and read it!
According to documents in the control room, this is a book that records most diseases. As long as someone opens it, no matter what disease they see, it will react to the reader within 3 minutes.
Xin Xin originally didn't plan to open it, because it was obviously a scam.
But a viewer in the live stream immediately gave her a large donation, which made her decide to go all out.
So I saved it on the spot, risking getting sick, and opened the book.
As a result, I developed endometritis.
On another occasion, she stumbled upon the control room of W-FBC-0650.
Encouraged by her fans in the live stream and driven by her own intense curiosity, she used her Level 3 Keycard to open the control room door.
Inside was a black humanoid statue, and its design was more humanoid than the 0173 'Statue' at the start of the game! Only its hands were replaced with spheres, and its head was smooth without facial features.
According to the document, it is called the "Scare Statue".
It has no offensive capabilities; it simply appears behind a person in a frightening pose.
Xin Xin initially thought this anomaly was nothing serious, but she soon realized she was wrong during her subsequent exploration.
Because no matter where she is, if she turns around, there is a high chance that she will find the black statue behind her, in a posture as if it is about to attack.
This kind of probabilistic setting, and the fact that it suddenly appears the moment you turn your head, really scared her half to death!
Especially when facing danger, already feeling thrilled and wanting to turn and run, you turn your head and find this thing has appeared behind you without you even noticing.
The tangy sensation at that moment was even more intense than eating Lao Tan!
This is equivalent to carrying Jump Scare with you anytime, anywhere.
The worst incident was when she bumped into the W-FBC -0173 'Statue', which could snap necks.
In an attempt to escape, she stared intently as it retreated rapidly, trying to close the door.
It turned out that it seemed to have bumped into something and couldn't move back.
Whether she moves to the left or to the right, she cannot continue to move backward.
As the progress bar for opening her eyes was about to reach the end, she couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to look just before blinking.
really
It's that damned, frightening statue again. It's blocking her way and preventing her from moving!
In the end, he could only die a gruesome death by having his neck broken.
At this point, after Death Files-1010.
Xin Xin, covered in sweat, hid under a table.
She was a little embarrassed and angry.
Because her current predicament was not caused by any anomalies within the station facilities, but by the pursuit of two security guards!
In this facility teeming with people, they actually pointed their guns at D-Class Personnel who were also human beings—it was utterly despicable!
At this moment, two security personnel, armed with guns, were carefully searching the dimly lit monitoring room No. 2 with tactical Flashlight attached to their guns.
One of the female voices spoke up in confusion.
[Alem, did you notice him go into monitoring room number 2? Maybe he escaped through the other door.]
Then, a male voice immediately responded.
[It's possible. If he's not here, then we'll have to catch up as soon as possible. Kell, keep an eye on the surveillance footage and see if you see him.]
[Clear!]
At this moment, in Xin Xin's live stream, a fan excitedly posted an eye-catching message worth 200 yuan.
The above says:
'Holy crap! I named Kell! I even specified the gender as female! I thought she wouldn't be chosen by the official team, but she actually was, and she really is female! The production team really kept their promise! I'm so happy!'
Upon seeing this, many people offered their congratulations, saying that the name Kell was acceptable, at least it didn't feel out of place.
Even Xin Xin, who was hiding under the table, couldn't help but say congratulations.
Immediately afterwards, in the game, the female security guard, who was staring at dozens of surveillance screens, spoke again.
Is this D-Class Personnel really that important? Why did Dr. Maynard specifically request that he be found?
The male security guard sounded somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
[What, you didn't know?]
[What do I know?]
At this moment, Xin Xin, who was hiding under the table, was also a little suspicious and curious.
This doesn't sound like they're here to kill me, but rather to capture me?
Am I that important?
Then, Xin Xin saw the male security guard pause and lower his voice.
[I've told you about this, but whatever you do, don't tell anyone. Especially don't let those B-Class Personnel hear it.]
The female security guard, Kell, immediately agreed, assuring her that there would be no leaks.
After a moment of silence, the male security guard Alem, spoke in a low voice.
[Let me ask you first, how much time has passed since we found D-9341?]
The female security guard answered without hesitation.
[Half an hour? An hour? Maybe forty or fifty minutes.]
The male security guard asked again.
[Forty or fifty minutes? If you were to arrest a D-Class Personnel, would it take you that long? Especially with the two of us together.]
The female security guard fell silent.
After several seconds, he asked, puzzled.
[You mean he's extraordinary?]
[Yes, Dr. Maynard has been observing him for a long time and suspects he may be an anomaly.]
[WTF!? What did you say?! Are you kidding me?!]
Xin Xin heard the female security guard fall silent on the spot, followed by the sound of someone covering their mouth.
However, these words also surprised her slightly.
Is the main character an anomaly?
Is the protagonist the same kind of being as those monsters that roam outside and kill anyone they see?
You must be kidding!
Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.
She realized something!
That is, she is looking at this matter from the player's perspective.
Should the protagonist be classified as an anomaly? Given his current ability to save and load game data, he could easily be!
However, as a player, she had seen this kind of game mechanic many times, so she found it commonplace and unsurprising.
But the NPCs in the game world don't know that!
To them, the protagonist's ability to save and load is simply like marking a point on the timeline, then rewinding time and starting over from that point!
This is a complete bug!
So, does this mean that Dr. Maynard in the game discovered the protagonist's abilities?
Upon realizing this, Xin Xin's expression turned horrified.
