Story of a pixel village next to the mantra

"Ding-"

"The 13th floor is here"

In real life, if you have the conditions, you will generally choose to be the last one to enter the elevator and the first one to get out of the elevator.After all, in a small and closed environment, your three-dimensional HP bar will drop by a percentage per second (number of people).

So when the elevator door in the game opens, you quickly turn the handle and rush out.But you forgot that the inside and outside of the elevator are different maps, and it takes time to load, so when you walk to the elevator, you are blocked by the old friend air wall... Even so, you still press the forward button of the handle and try to get the first time Get off the elevator so the character looks like they're walking in place.

Level 1 conjurer? "The 13th floor is here."

You【You go first, I'll go right away】

After 1 minute, the map is finally read, you immediately get out of the elevator and come to the door of 1301.

Click [Interaction] on the door, "Submission room, you need a key to open it."

The NPC came to your side and stretched out a small pixel hand, "Level 1 conjurer? Give you the 'Key to Room 1301', do you accept it?"—【Accept】.

Sure enough, he is an important NPC, and the thigh hug is right.

Equip the key to open the door.

You once played a game called "Campfire Legend Hook Man". Although it is officially said to be a horror puzzle-oriented game, you think it is a game for exercising your eyesight.

The game has a scary main line. The protagonist and her boyfriend go to a mountain hut for vacation at night. During the period, they have to repair the house and fight against the hook man in the horror legend.Every major action in the game, such as turning on lights and repairing equipment, requires solving puzzles. Puzzles are more eye-consuming than brain-consuming.

It often makes you find a few specific small things in a lot of sundries, including but not limited to wrenches, hemp ropes, wood carvings, butterflies, broom heads... there are all kinds of weird things.These small things are almost integrated with the environment, requiring the player to have great patience and excellent eyesight.

As for the degree of difficulty, it is as easy as picking red beans from a bag of mung beans, and as difficult as picking Thai fragrant rice from a bag of northeast rice...

Why bring this up,

Because after entering room 1301, the style of the game changed again, becoming a style similar to "Legend of Campfire".The game is driven by the conversion of high-definition pictures and text to promote the plot.

The perspective of the picture at this time is the living room. The picture is very clear. You can clearly see the clothes and sundries piled up on the L-shaped sofa, the messy things on the rectangular coffee table, and the snowflakes on the TV screen hanging on the wall.

The game started a PPT-style animation, and a low-pitched male narration came out from the speaker of the mobile phone: "Hino Tingyin entered Room 1301, and the inside was messy, as if it had been robbed; and because no one lived there for a long time, there was dust visible to the naked eye under the lights "Ahem..." Hino coughed and waved away the dust in front of him, and turned to ask a level 1 conjurer? But there was no one behind him, and the door of 1301 closed at some point. The TV on the wall was playing With the snowflake screen on, the volume turned up very high, and there was an annoying "sizzling" sound, Hino decided to change the channel."

After the narration is over, a circular icon with only a border appears on the screen, "operate the left joystick to move the circular icon".

At this time, the messy coffee table is shimmering. You move the circular icon to the coffee table, and a prompt pops up immediately, "Click to get closer and observe in detail."

After you click, the tea table will be enlarged and appear on the screen of the mobile phone. The surface is covered with a plaid scarf to block the items underneath. There is a novice prompt "click the item to proceed to the next step" next to the circular icon.

You move the circular icon to the scarf and click, and the scarf is lifted aside, revealing the black remote control underneath.

The remote control glows to prompt "click to use item".

Click on the remote control, and the screen changes to the panel of the remote control. You have tried several channels such as 001, 018, and 034, but the TV is still playing noisy snowflakes, which tends to become more and more harsh.

The low-pitched narration sounded again: "Hino Tingyin frantically pressed the remote control, but she couldn't receive the signal. She once suspected that the signal cable was not plugged into the TV, but she checked that all the plugs were in the place where they should be. Just as Hino Before trying to destroy the TV humanely, out of the corner of her eye she saw the newspaper on the coffee table."

Oh, you get it, click on the newspaper.

One of the pages of the newspaper appeared on the screen, and it was densely printed with the program schedules of various channels, but all the programs had the same sentence: "A dead end without signal".

The narration appeared to clarify: "This newspaper is full of confusing words. Maybe the clue is in one line."

Here comes the first level of visual acuity, like finding a lemon among 200 neatly arranged bananas.

You have prepared for a long time, take out the frame glasses from the drawer and put them on, then squint your eyes and check carefully from top to bottom.

After dozens of seconds, you finally found a different text at the bottom of the newspaper: "Interview with Frozen People and Cold Knowledge", and the corresponding channel is 193.

You re-enter [193] on the remote control

The TV screen appeared on the screen, and changed from a snowflake point to a normal program.Looking at the background, it looks like a talk show. There are two sofas facing each other in a figure-eight shape, with one person sitting on each.

The conversation between the two is in the middle.

The host said to the guests facing each other: "So how do you relax in a stressful environment?"

The guest sat on the sofa in a relaxed posture and replied: "After the autopsy on the carrion, maggots will crawl into my hair, boots, and even the inside of my clothes. I will carefully collect them and put them in a clean room. bag, and put it on the ground, bouncing on it vigorously. Do you like to pinch bubble wrap?"

The host nodded: "Yes, I like it very much."

The guest smiled and said, "This stepping action is very healing for me. I can hear the sound of every bug popping under my feet, just like the sound of popcorn popping."

The host laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahahaha, what's your favorite flavor of popcorn?"

The guest thought for a while: "Maybe it smells like salted butter, but it's not barbecued anyway."

Host: "Now may not be a good time to discuss food, why not talk about the dead body that you remember most deeply."

The guest pondered for a while and said: "I have taken over more than 1000 corpses, and the most impressive one was a few months ago. Different causes of death will make the corpses have different colors. I received an abnormal corpse a few months ago. The pale body, so white to gray, looked like a vampire victim from a horror movie. Normally I would have thought the cause of death was a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, which would have flooded the abdominal cavity with blood."

Host: "But the answer is no?"

The guests spread their hands: "No, you will never guess, maybe it was really done by a vampire."

The host immediately made an exaggerated expression: "What? Are you referring to the legendary vampire who has two fangs, is afraid of the sun, and lives by sucking blood?!"

Guest: "Yes, if the diameter of the vampire's teeth is 5 cm thick. The body was found on the 13th floor, the door was locked from the inside, and the window glass next to the body was all broken inward. There was not a drop of blood at the scene, something flew Go up to the 13th floor and smash the windows, and then use something 5 centimeters in diameter to pierce the body of the deceased and suck all his blood. Of course, the murderer may also be a huge mutated mosquito.”

The host covered his heart with his hands: "Wow, that doesn't sound too good." Then he turned his face from facing the guests to facing the camera, staring straight at the camera and said, "The one in front of the screen, yes, it's you, think Who is the murderer?"

Before you can react, the TV screen suddenly flashes and an advertisement starts playing.

"Do you want to change the color of your home? Are you troubled by cleaning high places? XX Scaffolding Rental Company listens to your troubles 24 hours a day, and you can call the phone number in the middle of the screen to make an appointment for free on-site valuation."

Then the TV stays on the advertisement page without any movement, and you step back to the perspective of the living room and start thinking about the host's question.

The description of the corpse reminds you of a movie "Starship Troopers" you saw when you were a child. It tells the story of humans fighting Zerg on an alien planet.There is a scene in it that you remember deeply. The protagonist finds the commander-in-chief of the Zerg in a cave, a huge worm that can only wriggle slowly and looks like a maggot. The giant maggot has thick and long mouthparts sticking out of its mouth. It stabbed into the head of the person next to the protagonist, and then began to suck the brains, until the mouthpiece was sucked dry before pulling out the mouthpiece, which was still covered with mucus.It turned out that the body of this several-meter-long worm was entirely composed of brains, so it was extremely intelligent.

At this time, the narration sounded: "After watching the TV show, Hino Tingyin's thoughts were mixed, and she decided to solve the mystery of 1301..."

Hey... wait a minute, I don't want to...

The game can't understand your voice, but gives a new task,

"Added side mission 2: Crack the mystery of 1301 and find the murderer. (This is a mandatory mission, and you will not be able to leave room 1301 if you do not clear the level)"

"Mission Completion Reward: Eyeballs on the Partition X2 Pairs"

Alright, since it's a mandatory task, there's nothing you can do about it, so you start investigating.

Click on the sofa, and the enlarged sofa is full of clothes thrown around. When the clothes are peeled off, a silver box with a lock is revealed. The investigation shows that "a key is required to open it."

A corner of the photo is exposed under the sofa. You move the circular icon and click on it. The photo will be enlarged. It is a group photo of a family of four, a couple and two children.At the dining table, a child is wearing a plastic crown and has a birthday cake in front of him. Another child is standing next to him, and his parents are standing behind him.

No, you stopped your hand about to press the back button. This photo may have been taken automatically with the camera on a tripod, so the shooting range is very large, including the side windows.Although it was dark outside the window, the glass was the wrong color in one spot.

You lift up your slipped glasses and look closely at the phone. The color is too dark, and you can barely make out the outline: a horizontal ellipse, the pointed end is connected with leaf-shaped things on the left and right sides.

Emmm... Could it be the shadow of flowers and leaves outside the window?

Nearly half of your friends said that they were scared by the branches outside the window when they were young, saying that they looked like devil's claws.

Well, I thought too much.

Because you were so absorbed in your thoughts, your nose itched and you sneezed, so you stood up and went to the toilet to wash your hands.

After washing your hands, you just want to arrange your hair habitually. When you look at your head in the mirror, you suddenly feel that the shape is a bit familiar.You fold your elbows in half, put your hands and fingers together, and lift them obliquely on both sides of your chin.

More like it, but not nearly.

Slowly approach the mirror with your upper body, maintain this posture, put your hands on the mirror first, and then your nose touches the mirror.You try to see the outline in the mirror out of the corner of your eye.

Hmm, almost exactly the same.

The case was solved. In the photo, someone outside the window was leaning against the window in this pose.

Wait a minute, this is the 13th floor, right?
