Hell App - Chapter 27
After a long time, Bai Yan regained his vision again. His surroundings were gray, with only the phone in front of him still emitting a faint light.
He lowered his head to check his phone, only to find that this time the game was in a new mode.
[Matching successful]
[Number of players: 3 people]
[Game Difficulty: Normal]
[Level description: This round of the game is a ‘text adventure’. Players choose activities through their mobile phones. The result of the selection will determine the player’s actions and complete the game plot. Survival to the end is considered a success of the game. Before starting the game, please complete a multiple choice question. 】
What is your gender?
male.
female.
Faced with this strange choice, Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
In the last game, Su Xiaoqian was assigned the identity of a maid, which shows that the app can tell the gender of the player. So now such a choice suddenly appears, obviously not to identify the player’s identity, but for another purpose.
This gender selection may determine the so-called game plot.
If the choice was based on the player’s true gender, Bai Yan should undoubtedly choose A.
However, Bai Yan wanted to try how the game would be handled if he chose B, so he chose B without hesitation.
[Select B, player identity is being arranged——]
[Identity background import completed. 】
[Background introduction: Your name is Bai Yan, you are a pretty newlywed young woman. You and your husband Wu Jingang live in an old residential building. Currently, you are on annual leave and have nothing to do for the time being. Every day Take care of household chores at home. 】
【game rules:】
[1. In this round of the game, players will receive five resurrection coins. Each time the player dies, one resurrection coin will be consumed, and the time will automatically return to before the selection. After five resurrection coins are used up, the sixth death is the real death. 】
[2. The player’s actions must follow the character’s logic. 】
[3. After the player makes a choice, the player will be forced to complete the “option corresponding” plot, and the player must choose carefully. 】
After reading the background introduction, Bai Yan didn’t have any thoughts.
App has always been honest in his work. He chose B, and the game arranged for him to become a newlywed. This arrangement is reasonable and reasonable. It’s not that I don’t know if his ‘husband’ is a human NPC in the game, or a ghost who has forgotten the memory of his death.
…
After Bai Yan made his choice, the scene around him changed.
Now, he is sitting in front of a dining table. The dining table is filled with delicious meals, including braised pork ribs, sauce-flavored eggplant, tomato and egg soup, and a cucumber dish. They are all steaming, making it a table of meat and vegetables. home cooking.
“The name of the game is ‘Text Adventure’, and it seems that the key to this game is ‘making choices’.”
Bai Yan picked up a chopstick of soy-flavored eggplant, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He found that the taste was just so-so: “The second rule requires that ‘players’ actions must follow the character’s logic.’ When my ‘husband’ comes back, I need to talk to Bai Yan.” Contracting out daily housework activities will at least not make the NPC husband feel that something is wrong. “
After tasting the soy-flavored eggplant, Bai Yan ate another piece of pork ribs: “These meals taste average and can only be considered delicious, but they are good for home cooking. If it is a dish of this level, I can do it.” , luckily her cooking skills are not very good.”
The food was steaming hot, but there was no food on the table.
Sure enough, he found a rice cooker next to the dining table with hot rice in it.
Since Bai Yan has the habit of waiting for her husband to eat together, Bai Yan is not prepared to make any changes. So, he put down his chopsticks, destroyed the bones and traces of the corpse, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and planned to explore the environment before the NPC husband came back, and check out the room first.
Bai Yan left the dining table and started rummaging around the room.
This is a very narrow house. The house is about thirty square meters in total. It has a kitchen and a separate bathroom, but the area is not large.
There is no living room in the house, only one master bedroom and a small second bedroom.
The master bedroom is the room where the dining table is set. Next to the dining table, there is a large double bed, with a huge wedding photo posted on the bedside.
In the wedding photos, the groom hugs the bride happily, and the bride smiles shyly.
Bai Yan observed the bride carefully and found that the bride was very beautiful. She was as beautiful as some top celebrities. She was not at all ‘slightly pretty’ as the app said. In this regard, Bai Yan put the blame on the retoucher. They must have gone too far in retouching to make a slightly pretty woman look like this.
After looking at the wedding photos, Bai Yan kept the appearance of the groom and bride firmly in his mind and began to observe other things in the room.
“The wedding room must have been renovated. The walls and floors are very clean, and the color of the bedding is quite warm. It seems that Bai Yan is a woman with a good taste in life.”
Bai Yan walked to the end of the bed. There was a small table at the end of the bed, and a cute and honest teddy bear sat on the table.
Bai Yan raised the teddy bear and found that the bear was as tall as a person. He held the teddy bear in his arms and it felt soft and nice to the touch.
According to the experience of old players, there is a high chance of hiding things inside dolls.
So Bai Yan picked up the teddy bear and touched around, rubbing its belly with his palms, but he couldn’t find a zipper that could be opened, and he didn’t feel like there was anything hidden inside. Because the NPC husband cannot be made suspicious, he cannot use a knife to take apart the teddy bear.
Bai Yan touched it for a while, planning to let the bear go before dismantling it, but when he put it down, he discovered that there was a patch of fur near the teddy bear’s tail that was the wrong color.
“Dark brown, is this blood?” Bai Yan came closer and smelled it, and smelled an unpleasant fishy smell: “Why is there blood on the teddy bear?”
“Auntie? Or is it the blood of the dead?”
Although the young couple’s wedding room was very warm and the air seemed to be filled with the sweetness of their love, the blood-stained teddy bear clearly told Bai Yan that everything was not simple.
“What relationship can a newlywed couple have with ghosts? There is blood on the teddy bear. Could it be that they killed someone?” Bai Yan touched his chin and thought: “And where are my two teammates? Here For a young couple who doesn’t have children, will they be ‘my’ relatives, or are they related to someone else?”
There are few clues about the house, and there is food on the table, obviously waiting for her husband who is away from home. Even if Bai Yan wanted to find other players to exchange clues, he couldn’t go out and find where they were.
Unable to find any other information on the teddy bear, Bai Yan put down the bear, walked to the second bedroom, and began to search for the ornaments in the second bedroom.
The second bedroom contains a wardrobe, a table, and some odds and ends.
Bai Yan found a photo album in a drawer, which was full of photos of the male owner when he was a child. Some of the photos were taken in the house where he is now.
“It seems that Wu Jingang has grown up in this house since he was a child. This should be his parents’ house. In order for him to get married, his parents gave this house to him so that he could have a wedding room.” Bai Yan Putting down the photo album, he said to himself: “Since the house belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jingang, where do Wu Jingang’s parents live now? Is it a new house…? No, this house is very small. If the couple can afford a new house, why not Wu Jingang’s parents will live here, they should rent a house.”
Putting the album away as it was, Bai Yan left the table and prepared to look at something else.
But as soon as he reached the closet, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor. The footsteps became louder and louder, and then there was a rapid knock on the security door——
“Dong dong dong!”
“Dong dong dong!”
Bai Yan quickly walked to the door, wanting to find out.
At this moment, his cell phone vibrated violently, the knocking on the door suddenly disappeared, and the ticking in the room suddenly stopped.
Bai Yan turned to look at the wall clock and found that the hands on the wall clock had stopped. He immediately realized that the game had suspended time in the world, so he looked down at his phone and found these lines printed on it.
[You are a newlywed young woman who has just been married. On this day, you have prepared a meal and are waiting for your husband to return as usual. At 8:25 pm, there was a sudden knock on the door. You count the time and it should be your husband coming back, so you stand up and prepare to open the door for him.
However, when you stood at the door, you suddenly hesitated. What happened a few days ago left you shaken to your core, and you are still scared to this day. As a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, it is necessary to be cautious in doing things.
So, you decide——
Ask loudly who is outside the door, and if it is Wu Jingang, open the door again.
Looking at the person outside the door through the peephole, he was sure that it was Wu Jingang who opened the door again.
Don’t open the door and pretend you don’t hear the knock on the door. My husband brought the key. If he wanted to come in, he would open the door himself. 】
Seeing these three options, Bai Yan knew that this was the so-called ‘text adventure’.
Under the three options, there is a countdown, giving him a total of five minutes to think about, and thirty seconds have passed now.
According to the description given in the question, Bai Yan encountered something bad a few days ago, so she is very vigilant now.
Bai Yan really wants to know what happened a few days ago, but now is not the time to think. Within five minutes, he must make a choice, otherwise the App will randomly choose an option for him, and then his life or death will depend on it.
After Bai Yan read the three options, he felt that C looked the safest.
However, from the table full of sincere meals, he knew that this was a loving newlywed couple. If it is really the husband, and the husband is knocking on the door outside, it will be unreasonable for the wife to pretend not to hear.
Therefore, Bai Yan first eliminated option C and began to hesitate between A and B.
“According to the rules of the game, if you choose B, you are likely to see the other eye on the cat’s eye, but if you choose A, you will expose the fact that you are at home. If the person standing outside the door is not Wu Jingang, but a ghost…”
Bai Yan’s fingertips moved between A and B, and finally decided to choose B.
“Forget it, be as scary as possible. Play it safe first. Five resurrection coins are not much. If the game dares to revive me five times, it means it will definitely kill me five times in the next choices.”
So Bai Li pressed B. When he pressed his thumb on the screen, his body was dominated by a mysterious force.
Under the control of the App, he tiptoed and quietly walked to the door, and quietly raised his eyes to the peephole——
