It took a long time before Bai Yan regained his vision again. His surroundings were gray, only the cell phone in front of him was still emitting a faint light.
He looked down at his phone, only to find that this game was a new mode.
[Match 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, complete the game plot, and survive to the end as the game is successful. Before starting the game, please complete a multiple choice question.]
What is your gender
A. Male.
B. Female.
Faced with this weird choice, Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
In the last game, Su Xiaoqian was assigned the status of a maid, which shows that the App can distinguish the gender of the player. So now that such a choice suddenly appeared, it was obviously not for identifying the player's identity, but for another purpose.
This gender selection may determine the so-called game plot.
If the choice is based on the player's real gender, Bai Yan should undoubtedly choose A.
However, Bai Yan wanted to try how the game would deal with choosing B, so he chose B without hesitation.
[Choose B, arranging player identity—]
[Import background completed.]
[Background introduction: Your name is Bai Yan, and you are a pretty young newlywed 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. Do chores at home.]
[game rules:]
[1. In this round of the game, players will receive five resurrection coins. Every time the player dies, one resurrection coin will be consumed, and the time will automatically return to before the selection. After the five resurrection coins are used up, the sixth death is the real death.]
[2. The player's actions must follow the logic of the character.]
[3. After the player makes a choice, the player will be forced to complete the "option corresponding" plot, and the player needs to choose carefully.]
After reading the background introduction, Bai Yan didn't have any thoughts.
App has always done things honestly, he chose B, and the game arranged for him to be a newlywed young woman, which is a reasonable arrangement. It's not that he doesn't know whether his 'husband' is a human NPC in the game, or a ghost who has forgotten his memory of death.
…
After Bai Yan made his choice, the scene around him changed.
Now, he is sitting at a dining table, which is full of delicious meals, including braised pork ribs, sauce-flavored eggplant, tomato and egg soup, and a dish of cucumber. They are all steaming, and they are a table of meat and vegetables. home cooking.
"The name of the game is 'text adventure', and it seems that the key to this round of the game is 'making choices'."
Bai Yan picked up a chopstick of soy-flavored eggplant, chewed it in his mouth, and found that the taste was so-so: "The second rule requires that 'the player's actions must follow the logic of the character'. When my 'husband' comes back, I need to talk to Bai Yan. The same as contracting daily housework, at least not to make the NPC husband feel wrong."
After tasting the sauce-flavored eggplant, Bai Yan ate another spare rib: "The taste of these meals is average, and they can only be considered delicious, but they are not bad for home-cooked dishes. If it is this level of food, I can also do it." Fortunately, her cooking skills are not very good."
The food was steaming hot, but there was no food on the table.
After a quick glance, Bai Yan knew that a woman must be waiting for her husband and didn't like to eat alone.
Sure enough, he found a rice cooker next to the dining table, filled with hot rice.
Since Bai Yan has the habit of waiting for her husband to eat together, Bai Yan is not going to make any changes. So, he put down his chopsticks, destroyed the bones, wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper towel, and planned to investigate the environment and find out the room before the NPC husband came back.
Bai Yan left the dining table and started rummaging around the room.
This is a very narrow house. The house is about 30 square meters in total. There is a kitchen and a separate bathroom, but the area is not large.
There is no hall in the house, only a master bedroom and a small second bedroom.
The master bedroom is the room where the dining table is placed. Next to the dining table, there is a large double bed with a huge wedding photo pasted on the headboard.
In the wedding photo, the groom happily embraces the bride, who smiles shyly.
Bai Yan observed the bride carefully, and found that the bride was very beautiful, as beautiful as some top celebrities, not at all the 'slightly pretty' as the app said. In this regard, Bai Yan blamed the retouchers. They must have gone too far with the P-pictures to make a slightly attractive woman into this virtue.
After seeing the wedding photos, Bai Yan kept the appearance of the bride and groom firmly in his mind, and then began to observe other things in the room.
"The wedding room should have been redecorated. The walls and floor are very clean, and the color of the bedding is very 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 simple and cute teddy bear was sitting on the table.
Bai Yan held up the teddy bear and found that the bear was as tall as a person. He hugged the teddy bear in his arms, and it felt soft and nice to the touch.
According to the experience of veteran players, there is a high chance of hiding things in general dolls.
So, Bai Yan held up the teddy bear and fumbled around, rubbing the teddy bear's belly with his palm, but he couldn't find the zipper that could be opened, and there was no feeling that there was something hidden inside. Since the NPC husband can't be suspicious, he can't tear the teddy bear apart with a knife.
Bai Yan touched it for a while, intending to let go of the bear before taking it apart, but when he put it down, he found a piece of fur near the teddy bear's tail that was of the wrong color.
"Dark brown, is this blood?" Bai Yan sniffed it closer, and smelled an unpleasant fishy smell: "Why is there blood on the teddy bear?"
"Auntie? Or blood from a dead person?"
Although the couple's wedding room is very warm, and the air seems to be filled with the sweetness of their love, but this blood-stained teddy bear clearly tells Bai Yan that everything is not simple.
"What can a newlywed couple have anything to do with ghosts? The teddy bear is stained with blood. Could it be that they killed someone?" Bai Yan rubbed his chin and thought, "And where are my two teammates? The young couple has no children, will they be relatives of 'my', or something else?"
There are few clues in the house, and there is food on the table, obviously waiting for the husband who is away from home. Even if Bai Yan wanted to find other players' communication clues, he couldn't go out and find out where they were.
No other information could be found on the teddy bear, so Bai Yan put down the bear, walked to the second bedroom, and began to search for the decorations in the second bedroom.
A wardrobe, a desk, and other odds and ends were stored in the second bedroom.
Bai Yan found a photo album in a drawer, which was full of photos of the male owner when he was a child, and some of the photos were taken in the house where he is now.
"It seems that this Wu Jingang grew up in this house since he was a child. This should be his parents' house. For his marriage, his parents gave him this house so that he can have a wedding room." Bai Yan Putting down the photo album, he said to himself: "Since the house belongs to Wu Jingang and his wife, where does Wu Jingang's parents live now? Is it a new house...? No, this house is very small. If they can afford a new house, the couple will not Live here, Wu Jingang's parents, they should be renting a house to live in."
From this point of view, housing prices in this different world are quite expensive. At least a couple with dual incomes cannot afford it, so they can only live in the man's parents' house.
Putting the photo album away as it was, Bai Yan left the table, ready to go and look at other things.
But as soon as he walked to the closet, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor, and the footsteps became louder and louder. Then, there was a rapid knock on the security door——
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Bai Yan walked quickly to the door, wanting to find out.
At this moment, there was a violent vibration from his mobile phone, the knock on the door suddenly disappeared, and the ticking sound in the room suddenly stopped.
Bai Yan turned his head to look at the wall clock, and found that the hands on the wall clock had stopped. He immediately realized that the game had paused the time of this world, so he looked down at the phone and found these lines printed on it.
[You are a young newlywed who has just been married. This day, you prepared a meal and waited for your husband to return as usual. At 8:25 in the evening, there was a sudden knock on the door. You calculate the time, 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 out of your wits, and you still have lingering fears until now. As a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, it is necessary to be cautious in doing things.
So, you decide—
A. Ask loudly who is the person outside the door, and open the door if it is Wu Jingang.
B. Look at the person outside the door through the cat's eyes, and confirm that it is Wu Jingang who opens the door.
C. Do not open the door, pretending not to hear the knock on the door. Husband, he brought the key. If he wants to come in, he will open the door and come in.]
Seeing these three options, Bai Yan knew that this was the so-called 'text adventure'.
Under the three options, there was a countdown timer for him to think for a total of five minutes, and now thirty seconds had passed.
In the description given in the title, Bai Yan encountered a bad thing 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 has to make a choice, otherwise the app will randomly choose an option for him, and then it's life and death.
After Bai Yan read the three options, he felt that C seemed the safest.
However, from a table full of sincere meals, he knew that this was a pair of loving newlyweds. If it was really the husband, it would be unreasonable for the wife to pretend not to hear the husband knocking on the door outside.
Therefore, Bai Yan ruled out option C first, and began to hesitate between A and B.
"According to the routine of the game, choosing B is very likely to match the other eye on the cat's eye, but choosing A 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 moved his fingertips between A and B, and finally decided to choose B.
"Forget it, let's be scary, and be safe first. Five resurrection coins are not many. If the game dares to resurrect me five times, it means that it will definitely kill me five times in the subsequent choices."
So Bai Bai pressed B, and when he pressed his thumb on the screen, his body was dominated by a mysterious force.
Under the control of the App, he tiptoed, walked to the door without a sound, and quietly put his eyes on the cat's eye—
