The Captain's Voice
The people in the live stream immediately had a bad feeling, including Zai Zong.
The previous "Captain Death Death Death" was ominous, because the name was long and illogical, but neither the protagonist nor the other NPCs noticed anything unusual.
Instead, he solemnly repeated "Captain, death, death, death."
It's as if the name is perfectly normal.
Now, this Bob's name has also become 'Bob Dismembered Dismembered Dismembered Dismembered'.
So this means
Bob is about to be dismembered and die?
At this moment, the game entered real-time calculation mode.
As expected, Captain C-1 didn't find the name change strange at all.
Instead, he encouraged Bob to move away temporarily to avoid being attacked by the Head-splitting Monster.
[Listen, for your family's sake and for your own, if you hear strange noises nearby, God help you, move to another location immediately.]
[Also, if the radar can't construct the terrain here, just tell me a general direction, and I'll follow that direction to find you.]
[Also, keep in touch, I]
Before Captain C-1 could finish speaking, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
A third person's voice inexplicably came through the radio.
But this person was not the other teammate who was unable to be contacted.
Instead
The voice of the C-1 captain himself!
And what he said was the opposite of what he said before!
No, Bob, I've suddenly changed my mind.
I think you should stay where you are so I can come find you.
Upon hearing this, Zai Zong gamer was stunned.
One second ago, the captain was still telling C-6 to hurry up.
The next second, the captain's voice came through the radio, telling C-6 not to leave and to stay where it was.
This... this.
"Holy crap, the radio's acting up, guys!"
"Another captain's voice popped up, damn it, is this Anomaly Trait? Or is it just a weird thing?"
The voice didn't use the 'dismembered' suffix when calling Bob's name, clearly to distinguish him from the captain.
But what exactly does this being with the same voice as Captain C-1 want?
[WTF This is my voice]
At this moment, Captain C-1 also heard his own voice, and under the real-time calculation, his tone sounded somewhat surprised.
Meanwhile, the C-6 soldiers on the other end seemed somewhat puzzled by the 'captain's' sudden change of tone.
[Captain? What did you just say?]
Over the radio, the voice that sounded exactly like Captain C-1 spoke again, repeating the same words verbatim, as if it were [Repeat].
[Bob, I've suddenly changed my mind.]
I think you should stay where you are so I can come find you.
At this moment, Zai Zong's expression changed slightly.
Good heavens! The voice impersonating the captain is preventing C-6 from leaving. Considering that his name had the suffix "dismemberment" before, this guy is definitely dead!
In the game, the captain realized something was wrong and immediately yelled into the radio.
[NO! NO! This isn't me speaking! Recruit! Don't listen to him! I'm ordering you not to listen to him!]
[Leave now! I'm telling you to leave now!!!]
wa——wa——wa——wa——
Perhaps because the sound was too loud, the captain's Head-splitting Monster was heard nearby according to the real-time calculation.
This prompted the captain to immediately raise his gun, look around warily, and become alert.
However, the captain's voice seemed unable to reach them.
Because the C-6 soldier didn't respond to him, but instead responded to the voice.
But I'm worried it's not safe here.
[This is my order, soldier.]
Upon hearing this, even if the C-6 soldiers hesitated, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.
For soldiers, the nature of their actions changes once they are given the word "order."
To disobey is to disobey military orders!
[Okay, I understand. I'll wait for you here and tell you which way to come.]
[Walk towards 3 o'clock, approximately.]
[Don't tell me directions, soldier.]
On the radio, C-6 was taken aback upon hearing this.
[Don't you need to tell me the direction, Captain? Weren't we supposed to meet up?]
[Of course, you don't need to tell me.]
[Why.?]
[because]
The next second, the same voice as the captain uttered words that made Zai Zong change.
I see you.
Suddenly, the radio went dead, as if it had been forcibly shut down.
There was no sound of conflict, no sound of slaughter, no screams or cries for help.
Everything came to an abrupt halt, as if the pause button had been pressed.
All that remained was the C-1 captain's unwilling roar.
[NONONO!!!!]
The captain immediately called C-6, but there was no response.
No matter what he said, there was no sound on the other end of the radio.
Judging from this situation, C-6 may have died, just like its name suggests.
Perhaps he died from being dismembered.
wa——
The roar of the Head-splitting Monster drew ever closer, and facing the impending danger, Captain C-1 had no choice but to become cautious.
I must get there at the 3 o'clock position immediately; I hope he's still alive.
With real-time calculations, the captain once again surveyed the area in front and behind him. After confirming that the Head-splitting Monster had not yet appeared, Zai Zong regained control.
"This place is not safe to stay for long, but which way do I go around 3 o'clock?"
"This game doesn't have a minimap and the layout is all interconnected, so where do I go?"
"The protagonist is injured, and I'm being forced to dodge monsters and find my way through this dark tunnel. Damn it, just kill me already."
Zai Zong scratched his head, glanced at the comments, and saw things like: "This is Horror Games," "Horror Games are all about hiding," and "You think you can just go head-to-head with monsters in a Horror Games?"
What kind of talk is that!
Does playing Horror Games mean you can't face monsters and ghosts head-on?!
Pah!
It's not helpful at all!
Zai Zong decided to take it one step at a time.
Perhaps the developers just wanted players to experience the hide-and-seek gameplay here?
So, he guided the limping C-1 captain into the tunnel and, using a tactical Flashlight, began to find his way.
And so, he played a game of hide-and-seek with the Head-splitting Monster in the maze of tunnels.
During that time, he even died twice by accident.
One time, he encountered love at a turn of the corner. He had just come out of a tunnel when he bumped into the Head-splitting Monster walking out of the passage next to him.
Because it was so sudden and impossible to guard against, he was so frightened that he yelled "Holy crap!" and then died on the spot.
Another time, he heard footsteps coming from the front of the tunnel, and his intuition told him that something strange was ahead.
So he turned back, only to run into monsters again. He was caught in a pincer attack, becoming the meat in the middle of a hamburger. After emptying his magazine, he was defeated once more.
And so, the game of hide-and-seek and evading the monsters continued for about half an hour before the story began again.
This brought tears to Zai Zong.
Very good!
Finally, I don't have to play hide-and-seek with a bunch of Head-splitting Monster anymore, waaaaaah!
At this moment, the previously silent radio in the game suddenly crackled to life.
But what came out from inside was the sound of C-6.
