The players who activated the game clicked it open.

At this moment, some customers came in, and Jiang Xiaoyue ran over to the counter to receive their payments before running back to watch the new game.

The players couldn’t choose their characters in the game since it had only one character, who was a male, just like the Legend of the Sword and Fairy.

Looking at the handsome guy with golden hair and fair skin in the mirror, they wondered, “A foreigner just like the people in Resident Evil?”

In fact, the players saw foreigners not only in Resident Evil but Diablo and Counter Strike as well, and they were used to the sight of foreigners now. After playing these games, they even got some understanding of the other world and foreign languages.

Although they didn’t know if there were such countries in the world, they just took it as a way to explore a new civilization. They felt as if they had traveled all over the world while sitting in the shop.

Su Tianji smiled and shook her head, and Song Qingfeng already walked out of the room in the game with some new memories entering his mind at the same time.

Most of the time, the players in the game didn’t need notifications because many pieces of information were automatically stored into their memories, including the purpose of the trip and the past events in the main character’s life.

When Song Qingfeng walked out of the door, a memory floated up into his character’s mind.

Not only the players, but Nalan Mingxue and the others who had been watching the game behind them froze at the words on the screen.

“A letter from his wife?”

From the words in the letter, they felt the wife’s love for her husband, the main character of the game. But…

“His wife died three years ago?”

Everyone’s heart lurched, and they looked at each other, wondering about the situation.

A creepy atmosphere began brewing.

In the game, Song Qingfeng controlled the character and stood at the edge of a hill, leaning against a fence and looking at the village which was engulfed in mist…

For no reason, he shivered involuntarily. “I feel like something is wrong…”

“Zixin… I don’t want to continue…” Shen Qingqing wanted to quit.

“Don’t be afraid!” Xu Zixin encouraged her, “It means that your mind has weaknesses, and you need to play more of this game!”

Shen Qingqing went silent.

“I feel like this game is weird…” Standing behind Su Tianji, Fenghua and Yuexin moved toward each other and murmured, “Is there anything wrong?”

“What are you afraid of!” Su Tianji snorted. “I’ll see what techniques this character has.”

“Skill interface? Skill interface?”

Seeing no skill interface coming on screen, Su Tianji had to call the shop owner, “Sir! Where’s the skill interface?!”

“There’s no skill interface.”

Su Tianji: “…”

Xu Zixin: “…”

Song Qingfeng: “…”

“First, I’ll get myself a good weapon,” Song Qingfeng murmured to himself, “It should work the same way as the main character in Resident Evil…”

“No! Sir! Where are the weapons?!” Soon, another shout came.

Even Chris had close-range combat skills, marksmanship, and a small dagger with him!

Soon, he heard two words from Fang Qi. “No weapons.”

Lin Shao moved his body in the game and found that the main character couldn’t even do a split stretch. “Where’re the close-range combat skill?!”

“There’s none.”

“If he has nothing, how can I play the game?!” Su Tianji’s expression turned dark. “What does the main character have?”

“Sorry to inform you, but the main character in this game is an ordinary guy.”

“…”

All the players froze.

The mist in front of them was obviously full of dangers, and no one could tell what would happen next. Now, they were told that the main character was an ordinary guy?!

“It’s good to play an ordinary guy!” Standing behind them, Nalan Hongwu praised the setting since he wasn’t playing the game. “Without any strength, you will reveal the weaknesses in your mind.”

Shen Qingqing wanted to quit. It was fine right now since she could still communicate with the outside, but she didn’t dare to play in such a creepy world without any strength.

In fact, the essence of many horror games was using the players’ own minds to frighten themselves. If the players knew what to expect, they could treat these games as monster-killing games, and they wouldn’t be that scary.

The horror induced from the outside world wasn’t as scary as the horror formed by one’s own imagination!

In this remade version, the game looked more real, which meant it was also a lot easier to induce fear. The players with weak minds would be manipulated by their own imaginations.

Nalan Mingxue said mildly, “Since the main character of the game is an ordinary guy, and he has driven to this place, it means that he has the intention of entering this place. If an ordinary guy dares to enter the place, I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of…”

“Yeah. Even an ordinary guy dares to come here, so I guess that the only scary thing is the creepy atmosphere,” Lan Yan said. “Even if there’s danger in here, it won’t be something that you can’t handle.”

“Do you think so?” less courageous than the others, Shen Qingqing said uneasily.

“We’ll know when we enter, right?” Su Tianji sounded more optimistic.

“Sir! Why aren’t you playing?” Fenghua and Yuexin stared at Fang Qi and asked suspiciously.

“I’ll watch it first and put it on livestream tonight.”

“Tonight?”

“Livestream?”

They looked at each other, a little confused.

However, this conversation eliminated the doubts on the mind of Song Qingfeng, Xu Zixin, and the others.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of! I’m just scaring myself! Is the small town ahead of me Silent Hill? I’ll go there and have a look.”

“Look! I told you that it’s fine!” The deeper Song Qingfeng walked into the thick mist, the quieter it was. At this moment, he suddenly found that no one answered his words!

There wasn’t any sound around him!

Then, he remembered that Fang Qi had mentioned the disabling of external communication after entering the main plot.

Walking down the mountain road for a long time, he went into a graveyard and encountered the first NPC, and he heard about the things that had happened at the Silent Hill and got directions.

This game became weirder. Soon after the players walked down the empty mountain road and came into the town, they saw a trail of blood. Following the blood, they saw a figure stumbling into the thick mist.

When they ran up, they found that the figure vanished in the thick fog!

At this moment, even Dong Qingli and Lan Yan, who were watching from behind, felt chills running down their spines, let alone Song Qingfeng and the others who were playing the game!

“Stumbling into such a creepy place without any cultivation strength,” Nalan Hongwu said, “This game is a bit…”

Then, the players found a radio with static noises and a corpse kneeling on the ground. When they walked up to check on the corpse, they felt some movement behind them.

When they looked back, they saw a distorted figure standing before them!

“Ahh—”

“Ahh—”

“Ahh—”

They had never experienced such a thing before!

Even Nalan Mingxue, who stood beside Fang Qi turned pale, let alone Song Qingfeng and the other players!

They were scared out of their wits!
