"Language mode switching successful, standard language - Chinese..."
""The Cursed", reality has been cursed..."
When Meng Nan opened his eyes, he was alone in a small room. In front of him was an old computer with a green skull pattern on the computer screen.
"Have you come in?" Meng Nan sat up slowly. There was no one around him: "It seems they separated us."
Then Meng Nan recalled the details about the movie "Cycle of Terror".
According to the plot seen in the movie theater, the game "The Damned" has nothing to do with gods, ghosts, or demons, but another type of power that is closer to its origin - symbols.
Between 1970 and 1984, Robert Englund discovered a set of mysterious symbols that had the ability to influence and interfere with the real world.
In 1984, Robert Englund converted it into eight-bit equivalent symbols and used these symbols to create a game - "The Damned".
According to Robert Englund, this game not only has a powerful power to change the world, but also has the power of "feeder".
Robert Englund, as the "Cursed", can get feedback by inflicting curses on others. The greater the pain the other party suffers, the better the feedback he gets.
In order to increase the "audience" of this game, that is, the number of players.
Each cursed person can send this game to others through "copying" and "distributing", thereby easing the continuation of the curse within a certain period of time.
The protagonist Keira in the movie became a "cursed person". Later, with the help of her friend Isaac, Keira successfully passed five levels and became another "cursed person".
However, in the process, Isaac died in the game because he obtained clues through "cheating".
According to the movie, the game "The Damned" can not only control humans, but can even create creatures that have never appeared before, violating common sense of physics and biology.
However, "The Cursed" seems to be unable to directly cause harm to people. It must use the game to let the other party make a choice, and make them pay a "price" according to their choice.
While Meng Nan was thinking deeply, the words on the computer screen in front of him changed.
"Level 1:"
"Prove that you are worthy of the reward..."
"When you wake up, you are in a small and cramped space, and in front of you is the God of choice."
"The gods gave you two glasses of water, one of which contained poison."
Immediately afterwards, two transparent glasses suddenly appeared in front of Meng Nan's eyes. One glass contained clear water, and the other contained a dark green liquid.
"The choice between life and death is before you. If you make the right choice, you can leave here. If you make the wrong choice, you will die."
"So, which glass of water do you want to drink?"
"White, or green?"
"Choose or die."
Seeing this, Meng Nan gently picked up the two cups, observed them carefully, and started thinking.
The quality of the two glasses of water is almost the same, there is no peculiar smell, and no sediment appears when shaken gently.
This is an old-fashioned multiple-choice question that appeared in the movie "Ender's Game" and has been compiled as an 'interviewer' test question by many editors.
It seems that clear water must be safer than dark green liquid, but is it really that simple?
In fact, there is a trap here, that is, although the test question says "one cup contains highly poisonous", it does not say "the other cup is not poisonous".
So it is very likely that no matter which drink you drink, you will die, so what should you do?
Meng Nan was thinking hard, but the picture on the screen in front of him shook violently, and lines of green words appeared.
"If you don't choose, you'll die..."
"If you don't choose, you'll die..."
"Choose or die!"
Meng Nan ignored the words on the screen and looked around.
Hell definitely does not want to simply kill them, so it will never allow the other party to deal with it in an unsolvable way.
In other words, this seemingly unsolvable multiple-choice question must have a solution, you just need to find clues.
Observing the situation in the room, this room is not big, only one and a half meters high, one meter long and one meter wide. There is a door behind my seat, and a gray wall behind the computer.
On the roof of the shed are three lights of different colors side by side, namely red, green and blue.
There is no power strip under the computer desk, and the computer's data cable is plugged directly into the wall.
Wei Wei thought about it, and judging from the situation in the room, if it was a clue, it would be the lamp above his head.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that red, green, and blue are the three elements of light. When the three colors are intertwined, they become white.
Meng Nan thought for a moment, picked up the two glasses of water at the same time, and placed them under the lamp.
Sure enough, with the illumination of the light, the two glasses of water underwent subtle changes.
Under the illumination of three-color lights, some small plankton gradually appeared in the transparent liquid. These creatures seemed to have countless hairs on their bodies.
The green liquid turns into different colors as the light shines.
"The countdown begins.10,9..."
Huge numbers suddenly appeared on the screen, seeming to remind Meng Nan that time was running out.
Well, if there are plankton in the clear liquid, then the clear liquid is probably non-toxic.
So Meng Nan picked up the cup and drank the green liquid in one gulp.
Putting down the cup, Meng Nan sat quietly, staring at the computer screen.
After a while, Meng Nan suddenly felt a burning pain in his stomach, as if something was biting his internal organs.
Meng Nan's face became flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing became heavier.
One minute, two minutes... ten minutes gradually passed, and the severe pain in Meng Nan's stomach subsided little by little.
A few words also appeared on the computer screen:
"Qualified player! The first level is completed!"
"Same time tomorrow, welcome more horror!"
"Presented by netflix."
Immediately afterwards, the computer screen instantly turned dark, and the door behind him opened with a crisp sound.
Meng Nan took a deep breath, looked at the transparent liquid on the table, then stood up and left the small room.
Obviously, Meng Nan made the right bet.
After walking out of the room, Meng Nan went directly to the street. The bright sunshine fell from the sky and shone on Meng Nan's body. The warmth seemed to be particularly comfortable.
And just across the room, a huge sign stood there: "Welcome to the world of "The Damned"!"
