After making his choice, the game's protagonist immediately tried to reassure her.
[Calm down first. I'll call the police for you.]
Huh?
Call the police?
Zai Zong's eye twitched. Would this protagonist die if he didn't pull some sanctimonious nonsense!?
I'd already chosen not to open the door, and you were still calling the police for her?
Could the call even go through?
Hadn't we tried when the power hadn't returned to the floor earlier?
Still, Zai Zong could only complain inwardly as he watched the game's protagonist set the phone receiver on the cabinet, pull out his cell phone, and dial a number.
Hearing this, the woman outside immediately panicked. She cried as she hurriedly spoke.
[Sir, sir, don't leave. Don't abandon me. Please let me in. Please, sob sob.]
Zai Zong watched the crying woman on the display while watching his own left hand make the emergency call.
But just like before, there was nothing but a string of busy tones. The call simply wouldn't go through!
There was no signal in this building!
[What... is going on?]
The game's protagonist spoke in a confused, trembling voice.
The woman outside raised her head, closed her eyes, and tearfully called out to her child.
[My child, my child... Mother was wrong. Mother shouldn't have left you. Sir, please save me. Could you open the door and let me in? Please...]
The woman cried her heart out, her emotions raw and convincing.
VR's powerful performance made it so realistic that truth and fiction were impossible to distinguish.
Especially those facial expressions—they were practically indistinguishable from CGI.
Even Zai Zong couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
[Sir, could you open the door? Please. There's no one outside. You're the first person I've seen. Please open the door and let me in.
