Chapter 351: A sense of déjà vu in a domestic horror film

Obviously, a completely immersed experience would be more intense and exciting, but it could also cause the player to have stronger emotional fluctuations.

Chen Mo chuckled,”I’m a high-end player. I’ve seen too much. I’m definitely going to be completely immersed in it. It’s just a horror game.”

He directly chose to fully immerse himself in the experience.

Chen Zhao felt his consciousness blur for a short while, as if he was in a semi-conscious state before he fell asleep completely.

At the same time, he heard a very low system notification in his ears.”Checking the player’s physical condition. Heart function is normal. Breathing, heartbeat, and vital signs are stable. No past diseases or genetic diseases. Health status is normal. Preparing for full immersion access …”

The scene changed and Chen Mo entered the VR gaming space.

Chen Zhao was in a bird’s eye view, so the camera was probably looking down from the ceiling.

The man below should be the male lead. He was dressed in casual clothes, jeans, and a T-shirt. He was typing on the keyboard.

In front of him was a laptop with a chat window of a communication software. A person named “red rose” was sending him messages.

The point of view couldn’t be changed, and a voice-over was explaining the game’s plot to Chen Mo.

[You’re a best-selling horror novel author. Many horror novels have sold well in the country. [Sometimes, you look for inspiration on the internet, and this female netizen called ‘red rose’ seems to have endless ghost stories to tell.]

At this moment, the main character was chatting with this “red rose.”

[Red rose: are you holding a press conference in City X next week?] I live in city X, do you want to come over?”

The protagonist didn’t think much and typed without hesitation: “Alright.”

Chen Zhao couldn’t control his burning desire to curse.

“F * ck, what kind of stupid person would use such an old-fashioned name like ‘red rose’? even a scriptwriter for an 18th-tier web drama is better than this, right?”

Soon, Chen Mo felt his field of view sink, and it became the main character’s first-person view. He also gained control of the main character’s body.

[System notification: turn off your laptop and go to bed.]

Chen Mo closed the laptop and stood up.

He tried to open the door, but the moment he touched the doorknob, the protagonist muttered to himself,””It’s late, it’s time to rest,”

Chen Mo was frustrated. It was obvious that this was just a small stand-alone setting. With the cheater nature of the game designer, they must’ve cut down the rest of the house to save resources, leaving only this bedroom.

Chen Mo was not convinced. He tried to open the window, break the door, or use the items in the room, but it was useless. All similar actions were strictly restricted.

In the end, Chen Mo sighed helplessly and chose [sleep].

Obviously, in this world’s VR games, players couldn’t do whatever they wanted like transmigrating. After all, that would be completely uncontrollable, and the amount of research and development resources the game developers needed would increase exponentially.

For example, if players were allowed to shoot, kill, or smash cars, then they would have to create the corresponding actions, special effects, performance effects, and derived playstyles. The more actions and playstyles a VR game supported, the more resources they would have to invest.

“Deserted house shock” was just a horror game, and it was obvious that the designer had only created the scene of this one room. There might be nothing outside the room. If the player were to open the door and go out by himself, he might trigger some unknown bugs.

The screen turned black, and soon, it switched to a brand new scene.

Before Chen Mo could observe his surroundings, he heard Zhao Lei’s voice.””Manager, how is it? have we reached the main scene?”

Chen Mo didn’t see any character that looked like Zhao Lei. It was clear that the call was like a voice in the game, and wouldn’t affect the game’s progress.

“You can choose ‘private chat mode’ to communicate with friends outside of the game,” the system prompted.

“Yeah,” Chen Zhao said.”I’m already at the entrance of this ‘abandoned house’.”

“Alright, you can go in now. You just need to pass the plot,” Zhao Lei said.

Chen Mo looked at it. The setting was not bad, a house in the evening surrounded by mountains and forests. But Chen Mo was willing to bet that as long as the main character walked out of a certain range, the system would immediately tell him to walk back, because the outside was just a setting, not a real one, blocked by an air wall.

Chen Zhao went to the door and rang the doorbell.

“Ding dong.”

There was no response, but the door opened.

Chen Mo,”what the f * ck?” Only a mentally-disabled child would go into such a strange scene in reality, right?”

However, according to the script, Chen Mo had to walk in.

Holding back his urge to curse, Chen Zhao walked into the house.

The wall lamp in the living room was dimly lit, and the entire living room’s decorations seemed a little retro. In this slightly dark atmosphere, there was a little bit of a scary atmosphere.

There was the sound of running water coming from inside. The bathroom light was on, and there seemed to be a woman’s figure.

“The bathroom kill that’s a must-have for domestic horror movies?”

Chen Mo was speechless. He felt like he was watching a cheap Chinese horror movie. This game was completely brainless, it was a horror game that was created by force. Chen Mo felt like quitting after three minutes.

However, considering that he was using this as inspiration for a new game, Chen Mo kept his professional ethics in mind and continued to play despite his IQ being challenged.

The male lead came to the bathroom and said in a slightly trembling voice,””Hello, is anyone there?”

The frosted glass of the bathroom was filled with water vapor, but through the glass, he could still vaguely see the figure of a woman.

The male protagonist leaned over, and at that moment, a shrill scream rang out from the bathroom!

A hand covered in blood slammed on the bathroom glass in front of Chen Zhao, making a muffled sound!

“Bang!”

The sudden scene caused the male lead to fall backward and fall to the ground. At the same time, the background music suddenly became tense, and the bathroom light went out after a series of crackling sounds.

Chen Mo helplessly stood up from the ground. When he fell just now, his butt still felt like it was touching the floor. Although it was very light, the system’s forced fall, bloody handprint, lights out, horrifying music, and the feeling of impact were still quite scary.

However, to Chen Zhao, he was only slightly frightened. This level of terror was child’s play. Chen Zhao didn’t even bother to use the fear filter.

Chen Mo could guess what would happen next.

According to a normal person’s train of thought, they would immediately run out of the bathroom to open the door to the living room and then search other places. They would definitely not enter the bathroom.

Therefore, for the designer, locking the door of the living room and all the other exits, then setting up a few traps to scare the players, and finally placing the key clues in the bathroom was the best choice.
