When Yingshu staggered to catch up with the old woman, he heard her muttering something like a prayer.
"Uh...Private Marseille?"
Out of courtesy from Neon people, Yingshu tried to say hello to the old lady:
"Um... hello? What was that... uh or should I say... what was going on?"
Hearing Hideki's voice, the old woman stopped.
Then, he slowly turned around, revealing his old face with ravines:
"It's you……?"
"ah?"
Yingshu didn't understand and spread his hands:
"What am I?"
The old woman looked him up and down: "It's you, the father of that child..."
hiss--!!!
As soon as this statement came out!
Hideki and Ethan gasped almost at the same time!
The child's father!
Obviously, the "child" the old woman was talking about was Rose!
…
"Child? Wait—you mean Rose!"
After hearing the old woman's words, Ethan couldn't help but asked eagerly.
The old woman in front of me actually knew about Rose's existence, and she also knew that she was the child's father!
Ethan couldn't help but take a step forward: "You know Rose! Where is she?"
"Hehehehe-Rose-yes!!!"
The old woman was startled and laughed:
"She is in danger... After [Mother Goddess Miranda] brought her into the village, we were shrouded in darkness!"
"Miranda? Darkness? What? Do you mean these monsters?"
Ethan was puzzled and wanted to continue asking.
However, the old woman ignored him at all. Instead, she turned around and walked away, thinking to herself:
"The castle bells are ringing, they are coming - they are coming - hahahahahaha -"
Bang——!!!
…
The gate of the village was closed behind the back of the old woman, leaving Hideki alone in the same place, disheveled in the wind.
"...I need to understand who I am."
Yingshu smacked his lips and gritted his teeth.
Classic Gu style riddle.
The gods are chattering, and the clouds and mountains are covered with fog.
This seems to be a common practice in Golden Wind horror games, and players love to hate it.
What I love is its unique mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
What I hate is that things that can be explained clearly in a few sentences, but this old thief always uses extremely obscure metaphors and hints to express them, leaving you scratching your head and wondering why.
As an experienced butter player, Hideki naturally knew that there was no need to waste too much time on the old woman, so he explored deeper into the village.
Going around and around.
Soon, he found a stone door in the innermost part of the village with reliefs of a devil and a girl, but the faces of the two reliefs were missing.
"This is very Resident Evil."
Hideki raised his thumb.
So classic!
Find slates, puzzles, and open traps.
Resident Evil has used puzzle-solving methods for decades. Even in the era of somatosensory cabins, it is still easy to use and can even make veteran players smile.
Soon, Hideki found the first relief, which was the devil's cheek puzzle, in a big house not far from the stone gate.
I can’t say this thing is easy to find. I can only say that a blind person can touch it.
After all, it is placed so grandly on the altar table upon entering the door.
However, this setting seems to be intentional by Golden Wind.
Stone carvings are important, but what Golden Wind cares more about is letting players pay attention to the several hanging statues on the altar table while getting the stone carvings.
Yes.
Right next to the stone sculptures, five hanging statues, one large and four small, are hanging on the altar table——
The large hanging statue in the middle is of a woman wearing a strange headdress and a black veil.
Hideki couldn't help but shudder.
Although he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, the sinister aura radiating from the inside out still made him feel quite uncomfortable and somewhat cultish.
On the left side of the mysterious woman, there is an elegant woman wearing a Windsor hat and luxurious jewelry strung around her neck. She looks a bit like a countess.
Next to the Countess was a deformed person with an ugly face and a stooped body like a dwarf.
It all looks quite abnormal.
Looking to the right of the mysterious woman, next to it is a doll.
That's right, it's just a... doll... with wooden joints. It doesn't look too big. It's wearing a flower wedding dress.
Next to the wedding doll is a man wearing a cowboy hat and a pair of round sunglasses on his nose.
"This is……?"
Facing these five strange hanging statues, Hideki thought for a moment.
Then, a flash of inspiration occurred!
"Oh - holy shit! This can't be... the Four Heavenly Kings, right?!"
Exactly four people! And none of them look normal!
Thinking of the abstract bats, big fish, evil spirits, and war horses in the promotional video, it is difficult for Hideki not to associate the four people in front of him with the Four Heavenly Kings!
As for the mysterious woman in the middle...
Hideki recalled what the old woman said.
If my guess is correct——
The mysterious woman in the middle is probably the so-called "Mother Goddess Miranda"!
Wonderful! Wonderful!
With the appearance of five hanging portraits in front of me!
Yingshu felt goosebumps all over his body!
obviously--
This is the dark fairy tale called "Phantom of the Village"!
The little girl strayed into the jungle, which foreshadowed that Chris' team was attacked and overturned, and Rose disappeared.
The four monsters gave gifts to the little girl one after another, indicating that the four heavenly kings were involved in Rose's transfer.
And in the end, the evil witch appears and wants to extend her claws to the little girl.
This means that the Mother Goddess Miranda is going to attack Rose.
even!
The trailers of "Phantom of the Village" all have an ending with unfilled gaps!
What is the end of Rose?
What will happen to the father who goes deep into the dark jungle to find his daughter?
【His story is about to end】
Suddenly, Hideki remembered the beginning of the first trailer again.
Yingshu seemed to have noticed something, but he was not sure.
And right now!
Chichi——
In the room, the radio suddenly sounded.
Among the vague noises, a girl's voice came out vaguely——
[This is...if there are any survivors...come to the church...to meet up]
[Repeat...survivors...church...]
…
good news!
There are still living people!
bad news!
Someone was bitten!
"I'm shocked. I bet 50 cents that this person will definitely mutate soon."
Lao Ju said firmly.
As the special experience anchor of Station B, Lao Ju also came to the video game festival and experienced this generation of Resident Evil for the first time.
Now, as the exploration deepens, he also encounters two survivors on the way to find the statue puzzle.
It's a girl named Elena and her old father.
The broadcast just now was sent by her, with the purpose of getting more survivors to unite, and by the way, to see if anyone could help her father with a simple bandage.
Yes.
Elena's old father was bitten by a zombie.
Although he knew what was going to happen next, the kind-hearted Lao Ju still helped Elena's father bandage it a little, and even "wasted" a bottle of hand sanitizer for this purpose.
However, in return, Elena took him to the chapel.
Here, there are still about a dozen survivors taking refuge.
"No one knows what happened. The last second we were living peacefully and diligently,"
There was a lot of tension in the small room of the church, and someone was talking about the whole story:
"The monsters will attack us in the next second, and they are endless... But fortunately, my husband has already gone outside to ask for help. I hope he can return safely."
At the suggestion of one of the survivors, the group formed a circle and began to pray——
"Great God, we are in awe and pray together..."
"Gifts are given to one's life and will be worshiped forever..."
"In life and in death, glory goes to the Mother Goddess Miranda."
Lao Ju did not participate in the prayer.
after all--
"I feel a little unlucky,"
Sitting on the seat next to him, Lao Ju carefully pulled out the pistol from his waist and looked at the bitten old man who was showing pain and breathing rapidly:
"Don't foreigners have some kind of prayer before meals? I can't even tell whether we are praying for dinner or..."
The words have not yet been spoken!
Cough cough——! Cough cough cough——!
suddenly!
The old man who had been bitten suddenly looked extremely painful and coughed non-stop!
On the side, the woman who suggested praying saw the old man in this state and quickly stepped forward to check.
Seeing this, Lao Ju kept silent and protected everyone in front of him:
"Three...two...one..."
"Old man, let's have dinner."
Roar--!!!
As Lao Ju’s words fell!
The old man ran away instantly, grabbed the fruit knife on the table, pointed it at the neck of the woman next to him, and stabbed it into the neck!
Poof——!!!
In an instant, the whole room was in chaos!
Some people were pinned to the ground and had their necks bitten off, some were knocked down and killed on the way to escape, and some even gave the mutated old man a warm meal because he knocked over an oil lamp!
For a moment, the whole house was in chaos. The kerosene lamp set the wooden house on fire, and the entire church instantly burst into flames!
In fact, I was originally here!
Everything is still considered "normal".
At least in terms of game flow, all plot developments are very reasonable.
According to the development of the plot, Ethan should bravely step forward and kill the mutant old man.
After all, the previous protagonists such as Leon and Chris all followed this routine.
Seeing that the mutated old man was about to pounce on the surviving Elena, Lao Ju couldn't help but step forward:
"Don't be afraid, girl! I'll do it!"
And the next second!
Bang! Plop!
"Oh shit! Girl, save me! I'm down!!!"
With a sound of falling to the ground, Lao Ju was pushed to the ground heavily by the old werewolf man with his teeth and claws, and he called for help in panic!
For a moment, the entire live broadcast room burst into laughter——
'I'm coming! I'm falling! Save me, save me, save me -'
‘Hahahahahahahahaha that’s outrageous’
'show'
"What do you mean you, an ordinary citizen, are messing around?"
'Old man: Today I will show you what a black hand is!'
'The golden wind can always make the plot develop in an evil direction...'
'It's so abstract hahahahahaha...'
‘…’
However!
Just when the water friends in the live broadcast room were shouting that Laoju was operating abstractly!
A more abstract scene appears!
"dad--!!!"
Just listen to a heartbreaking cry!
Next!
Just hear a loud noise!
Bang——!!!
The big sprayer directly sprayed the old man in front of Laoju horizontally, and blood splashed everywhere in an instant!
Lao Ju looked back with questions in her head!
I saw Elena crying and holding a big spray gun with smoke coming from the muzzle, crying very sadly:
"Dad - what's wrong with you? Dad - wu wu wu -"
But at this moment, the old man who was so angry that he was not killed was seen struggling to stand up again and staggering towards him again.
Seeing this, Elena cried even louder:
"Oh my god... who can tell me what happened! Why is this happening! Dad——!"
Bang!!!
The barrage almost made me laugh out loud——
‘Hahahahahahaha! That’s too abstract!’
‘Although this is a bit rude, this paragraph is too crude’
'I am so filial to you...'
‘It’s hard not to suspect that this is the old thief’s bad taste’
'This part is too careless...'
‘Hahahahahaha I was so laughing that the property management came knocking on the door’
‘The main theme is a loving father and a filial daughter’
‘I am filial ≠I will not destroy you’
‘The inequality is gone!’
‘…’
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! This is too abstract..."
Here, although the situation was urgent, Lao Ju couldn't hold back and laughed out loud:
"This contrast is so funny. The key is that it's tense and funny at the same time. It's so..."
The words have not yet been spoken!
Roar--!!!
The old man who was sprayed down stood up again!
But Lao Ju, who was watching Elena trying to reload the bullet, finally couldn't stand it any longer and tugged on Elena's arm:
"Let's go! Stop fighting! Your father is going to become a sieve!"
However!
Just when Lao Ju is about to pull the only survivor, Elena, to escape!
Suddenly!
Click——!!!
With a loud sound of a wooden beam breaking!
Lao Ju only felt a heat wave coming in front of her!
The collapse of the beams instantly submerged Elena in the sea of fire!
It takes less than half a minute!
No one survived in the entire safe house. The blazing fire illuminated Ethan's stunned face, drowning the only hope of life in the village!
And now!
The most abstract and only happiest moment in the entire game is here!
Then Lao Ju followed the prompts on the UI interface, sighed heavily, with a tone full of grief and anger, and hit the stone wall next to him:
