Players' Curiosity About Parallel Worlds

The live stream caused a sensation.

I initially thought it was just an excellent Horror Games with a brilliant concept, a huge map, and a thrilling experience.

And what was the result?

Damn, there's even a parallel world setting!

And the production team actually made it!?

I'm awesome!

Immediately, the audience in Zai Zong stream room erupted in excitement.

"Wow! A parallel world in a game! I'm asking you, who here isn't curious!?"

"Damn it, hurry up and go, kid! Go now!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Stop dawdling, if it were me, we would have arrived long ago!"

"This is a parallel world! Heaven knows what it's like over there! The map may not have changed, but the experience will definitely be different from now!"

"Don't be so absolute. What if it's a new map? A parallel world, my god. Judging from how badly the other protagonist is talking, it's definitely in a lot of danger!"

"Aren't you going? What are you waiting for? You're going to drive me crazy!"

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Zai Zong calmed himself down.

"Young people, calm down. Is this how you behave?"

"Look at me, so calm. That's the style of a seasoned veteran. My temperament is unmatched."

Upon hearing this, Huan Huan, who was on the bed, showed a look of disdain.

I felt that my cousin was becoming more and more shameless.

Is this how it is after becoming a streamer?

She couldn't help but miss her silly cousin from before.

At that moment, in the live stream, a striking message worth 100 yuan appeared.

It says: I'm unfollowing now to go see Xin Xin!

The Zai Zong changed, becoming incredibly deep.

He twisted his neck and spoke in a deep voice.

"Sorry guys, I forgot my meds. Don't worry, I'll take you to see a parallel world soon."

The Zai Zong stopped showing off and pulled out the S-NAV ultimate navigator.

The location of W-FBC-0970 has been marked above.

It's quite far, about 3684m away from where he is now.

Going there would certainly be fraught with danger.

But isn't that part of the gaming experience?

After getting ready, he chatted with his fans and viewers in the live stream as he headed to his destination.

"This game map is seriously huge. Although Skyhill has 100 floors plus 3 basement levels, at least the layout of the buildings on those 100 floors is the same, so you won't get lost. But Control Failure is just too big, and every place is different. Don't the researchers and security guards working here ever get lost?"

As he spoke, he looked at the S-NAV Ultimate Navigator in his hand and shook his head.

"I bet everyone has one of these?"

"But where exactly is 0970? I'm quite curious about what kind of anomaly this is. Is it a building passageway? Or some kind of living creature?"

"Furthermore, the number starts with the letter 'W,' indicating that it's the same level as the 0173 'Statue' at the beginning of the game—WAW (Hard). I wonder if there's any danger involved."

"Honestly, this game really shocked me. Aside from parallel worlds, I've never seen the protagonist of another world ask for help from the protagonist I control in all my years of playing games. And this is the first time in over 20 years that I've played a game with a dual-world setting. It's so novel."

"Do you know what my expression was like when I received a distress call from another version of myself on the Walkie-Talkie? Just two words: awesome! This development team is amazing; they come up with something different in every game. Things like sanity systems, surviving down stairs, and this parallel world. Seriously, it's incredible. Playing it now, my heart is still racing!"

In response to Zai Zong's words, the viewers and fans in the live stream also responded one after another.

"Why the hell do they have to do pre-sale previews?! I want to play! I want to play!"

"Why is it Horror Games that have this kind of creativity?! What are other games doing?! What are those producers, planners, and writers doing?! Horror Games are making me both scared and want to play them!"

"This is the first time I've seen a parallel world setting in a game, and you can even go there! That must take a lot of resources, right?"

"I wonder what's in this parallel world. The Only Game is really amazing; they made two maps."

"The one ahead, need I say more? It's definitely the apocalypse. Humanity is wiped out; the Control Bureau has exterminated them all."

"Ji You may be the biggest losers. The games haven't even been released yet, and the creativity is already lagging behind, hahaha."

"Speaking of which, if the protagonist goes to a parallel world, will he team up with another protagonist? It seems that the Control Bureau in the parallel world is the villain. Will the Control Bureau be the final boss?"

"Both main characters have the ability to reload save files, so I think they'll probably switch main characters? For example, one main character dies, and then a main character from a parallel world comes along?"

"How many dishes, bro?"

While watching the live stream chat, Zai Zong was trying to survive in the perilous site.

He died several more times along the way.

Although the electronic map marked all the threatening anomalies, it couldn't withstand the refreshing of certain key points!

For example, there's a mechanical door that everyone has to go through, which requires a certain switch to open. So, the Zai Zong searched everywhere and finally found it in monitoring room number 4, only to suddenly encounter a Plague Doctor!

According to the electronic map, this is W-FBC-0049 ' Plague Doctor '.

They said it was all out of goodwill, which made the Zai Zong half-believing and half-doubting.

But he had seen the trailer and knew it was dangerous, so without a second thought, he ran away.

But to his utter surprise, this humanoid was incredibly powerful.

His location was exposed through the broadcast, making him a target for other anomalies and putting him in danger.

Then, facing attacks from multiple sides, they chose to flee.

But this path was left behind by the Plague Doctor.

So Zai Zong got caught, the screen went black just from being touched.

When I woke up again, I found myself tied to a table.

The Plague Doctor was walking over, carrying a syringe filled with green liquid.

Beneath that bird-beak Mask, the chilling line repeated: 'I will definitely heal you.'

[Number: D-9341]

[Cause of death: A life form treated by W-FBC-0049 was no longer human. Although possessing vital signs, it lacked intelligence and exhibited violent tendencies. It is a pity, although he was once a doctor at the Control Bureau. However, he had been modified, and we had no choice but to destroy him.]

Another time, Zai Zong took the elevator to the pipe repair office on the next floor.

After walking only a few steps, the protagonist suddenly spoke.

say what:

'I can hear breathing. There's something unseen here.'

'I know what that is.'

'They are weak. But they are numerous. And they are dangerous.'

'I must wear Night Vision Goggles '

Upon seeing this, Zai Zong put on Night Vision Goggles.

The scene instantly turned dark green, and the previously dim environment became very clear.

However, at the same time, we also saw about a hundred humanoid creatures wandering around the area.

Their skin is smooth, bare, and hairless. They possess teeth arranged in a row like needles, and five sharp claws.

Moreover, they seemed to be observing the protagonist, their countless beast-like eyes fixed on him.

This startled the Zai Zong, who immediately turned and ran, trying to escape this dangerous place.

I'd better pretend I didn't see anything.

'You can't show signs of fatigue either. Otherwise, it'll be all over.'

But it was too late. By the time Zai Zong heard this, his game character had run out of stamina and was panting heavily on the spot.

And it was at this moment that the hundreds of people staring intently at him noticed something unusual.

Suddenly, it opened its needle-like teeth and gave a sinister smile.

[Death Files - 1039]

[Number: D-9341]

[Cause of death: Analysis of the remains revealed that the body exhibited signs of mental exhaustion and fatigue before death. The manner of death is highly suggestive of exposure to the W-FBC-0966's [unspecified wavelength], resulting in sleep deprivation, followed by being hunted and killed while physically and mentally exhausted.]

But not all of them died in fancy ways; Zai Zong also had his own shining moments.

For example, once in the control room of Z-FBC-0983, he encountered a random event.

It was a D-Class Personnel, pleading for help from behind the observation glass.

He said he hoped to shut up the toy monkey singing "Happy Birthday" in the control room, otherwise he couldn't leave.

Strangely, the door to the control room was not closed; he should have been able to come out on his own.

Meanwhile, Zai Zong did indeed hear the birthday song.

However, he did not act rashly, but first observed the situation of this D-Class Personnel.

As a result, he appeared to age rapidly, his skin became increasingly loose, and his hair fell out significantly. In the end, he turned into a dried-up corpse and died of old age right before his eyes.

The Zai Zong was immediately alarmed, realizing that this was extremely dangerous!

So he found the documentation and wanted to understand the features of 0983 and what it was before considering whether to test it (a recipe for disaster).

According to the document, this unusual singing birthday song was a toy monkey created in 1940, carrying a bell and a lever.

Almost 60 years have passed since then. So the toy's exterior is long since damaged and broken.

However, if someone touches it on their birthday, this toy will abnormally ring a bell and sing a birthday song.

What should have been a joyous occasion has become a source of constant joy. However, each line of the lyrics adds to the birthday celebrant's age until they die of old age and turn to dust.

However, there is a way to solve this.

As long as the birthday celebrant and the abnormality sing together, the abnormality's song will end.

Otherwise, the anomaly will keep looping the lyrics until the birthday person dies.

The birthday person simply needs to sing along and match the unusual melody. After the song ends, the unusual person will throw out candies of different colors from a bell.

Eat it, and you will regain your lost youth.

The more perfectly you sing along, the higher the quality of the candy you get.

If your singing isn't good, the candy will taste terrible. Eating it only minimizes the damage; the lost years will only be partially recovered, not completely.

So, with the intention of showing the viewers in the live stream what I was capable of, I decided to do it.

Zai Zong resolutely walked in and touched the toy monkey.

Although today is not his birthday, I don't know if it's the protagonist's birthday either.

But he believes the production team won't be that inflexible.

Because, surely it's not like today happens to be the birthday of the D-Class Personnel who just died?

So, when touched, the toy monkey did indeed move and started singing a birthday song.

The protagonist immediately launched into a line, saying, "I have to sing along with it, otherwise it won't stop and my age will be stolen!"

But how do you sing along?

Soon, Zai Zong discovered how to sing along.

That is.
