Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 255 Two-line Narrative

Tang Ying hesitated for a moment.

Instinct told him that he should choose the second option, but she was also thinking, if she chose the first option, would she be able to meet her father and trigger some side plot?
Tang Ying hesitated for a long time, but decided to choose the first option.

"I don't know, let me ask him!"

This time, Professor Yang didn't even sigh, and just pressed the button.

"what!!!"

The boy struggled again and let out a shrill scream.

At the same time, a dazzling red light appeared around Tang Ying's screen. In many games, it will be displayed in this way when receiving fatal damage.

And at the top of the screen, a UI bar that has not been seen before appeared. The two values ​​of [stress value] and [resistance value] have increased, while the [health value] has dropped a bit. It is also expressed in red, which is very eye-catching.

In addition, there is a [obedience value], which has not changed.

"Why did your father send you in?" Professor Yang's tone didn't change at all, as if nothing had happened just now.

Tang Ying looked confused: "It's over, I chose the wrong option first."

On the bullet screen, there was already a wave of "annoying anchors" floating by.

This time Tang Ying didn't dare to act deadly, so she honestly chose [Because I was disobedient].

Professor Yang sighed: "That's right, you know everything in your heart, but if you don't tell the truth, your illness is not serious, and you need to increase the amount of treatment."

Professor Yang pulled out the two needles from the boy's hands, and then pierced the boy's left and right temples respectively.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

The boy struggled fiercely again, and Professor Yang said coldly: "Did you forget the treatment I gave you just now? Did Uncle Yang tell you that a good boy must be obedient?"

The boy seemed to have been splashed with cold water for a moment, and he didn't dare to move any more, allowing Professor Yang to pierce two needles into his temples.

"Now that you know you're wrong, will you listen to your father in the future?"

"obedient!"

"After you go out, kowtow to your father to admit your mistake and ask him to forgive you, can you do it?"

"can!"

"Have you thought about how to apologize to Dad?"

"Think about it!"

Professor Yang asked questions one after another. This time, Tang Ying became as smart as a little boy and chose all the answers correctly.

In fact, the answer is not difficult to choose at all. In this question, it is not to choose the "right option", but to choose "the option that Professor Yang wants to hear".

Tang Ying didn't dare to play tricks anymore, just kidding, it used to be an electric palm, but now it's an electric temple!
……

Finally, Professor Yang pulled out the two needles stuck in the boy's temples, and the boy rolled over and got out of bed.

This time, the two big guys didn't support him from left to right, but the boy didn't dare to struggle anymore, because he knew that struggling was useless.

As long as I struggle a little, these two big guys can catch him immediately, and then take him back to the hospital bed to continue "treatment".

Professor Yang walked ahead, followed by the boy and two big men, and returned to the reception room on the first floor.

Seeing the boy came back, the middle-aged man looked over, with some worry, some hesitation, and some hope in his eyes.

Professor Yang looked back at the little boy and motioned him to go over with his eyes.

At this time, two options appeared on Tang Ying's screen.

【Rush over to apologize to Dad. 】

[Tell the truth to Dad. 】

【escape. 】

Tang Ying... hesitated.

She can rule out a wrong answer at a glance, escape is definitely impossible, stop dreaming.Although it's not far from the gate, all these burly men can run faster than him, not to mention that his own father is here, where can he go when he runs out?

But the first two options really made Tang Ying hesitate, both of them seemed like the right ones.

Not only Tang Ying, but also the barrage started to quarrel.

"Of course I choose 1, what kind of mentality is it to choose 2, and you still want to be electrocuted?"

"Stupid, this is your father. He was obviously cheated. If you tell him the truth, he will definitely take you away!"

"You're an idiot. Can my father send you to this kind of place? My father is with this professor. Tell the truth and wait to be shocked!"

"Are you an orphan who lacks love?"

"You're paralyzed, the game has just started, you pick 2 and let you go, what the hell is this game going on? Cerebral palsy thing, I think you need to be sent in to have your brain shocked!"

Tang Ying's face was black.

This game has just started, and the barrage has started to quarrel, and the game's ability to fight fire is really amazing.

Tang Ying hesitated again and again, and chose 1.

Because she felt that choosing 2 would obviously offend Professor Yang, and it was unlikely that Dad would just take him out, because the game was still very long, so it was unreasonable to clear the level in one go.

The boy rushed over, knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and burst into tears: "Dad, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong! I will never talk back to you again, I'm sorry I know I was wrong!!"

The boy cried bitterly while hugging his father's thigh.

Tears welled up in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he leaned over and hugged the boy: "The child is sensible, really sensible..."

Professor Yang was on the sidelines, smiling with great satisfaction as he watched what happened before him.

After hugging for a while, the boy felt that it was almost done, and separated from his father wiping his tears.

The middle-aged man turned to bow to Professor Yang: "Thank you, Professor, thank you!"

Professor Yang smiled and said, "No, our doctor's bounden duty is to cure diseases and save lives, and this is my duty."

The boy's hands were still shaking, and he gently pulled his father's clothes: "Dad, I know I was wrong, can we go home?"

The middle-aged man didn't answer, but looked at Professor Yang instead.

Professor Yang smiled and said: "The child's condition has just improved, and it will take a while to cure it. But don't worry, the child's illness is not serious. According to our general experience, two After a course of one month of treatment, it can basically be completely corrected."

"Two months... OK." The middle-aged man nodded, "Then I will pay the fee now."

The boy panicked when he heard it, and hugged the middle-aged man's thigh: "Dad, I really know I was wrong, you take me home, you take me home..."

The middle-aged man said with a straight face: "Have you heard what Professor Yang said? It takes two months to fully correct! You are obedient here, cooperate with Professor Yang's treatment, and Dad will pick you up after two months."

"Dad, don't leave me behind, take me away, take me home..."

"dad!!"

"You threw me here, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!!!"

"I hate you forever!!!"

The boy was still crying weakly. Professor Yang waved his hand with a smile. Two burly men came up and carried the boy away.

The boy's cries gradually became distant, but the faint cries could still make everyone feel his despair.

The expression of the middle-aged man flashed a trace of unbearable.

Professor Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, what the children say is angry. The patients all hide their diseases and avoid medical treatment. The children are definitely unwilling to stay here for treatment. Internal resistance and resistance are all normal phenomena. Now it is only a preliminary correction. If you go back like this, it’s easy to relapse. Anyway, the two-month course of treatment is not too long, and you can come and visit us at any time during the period. Don’t worry, after two months, you will definitely return to a healthy and sensible child.”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Professor Yang, I understand, then, please take care of everything!"

The camera gradually zooms out, from the main building to the square, and then gradually rises to show the player the panorama here.

This is a seemingly inconspicuous building, but it is actually heavily guarded. The wall is not high, but there is an electric grid on it. Teenagers in gray military uniforms are running on the playground, and they all look like marionettes or walking dead.

Finally, the camera freezes in the air, under the gloomy sky, the title of the game appears.

"The Devil is in the World"!
This is the entire content of the prologue. From now on, players can save and load files at any time, or specify to experience a certain stage of the game content.

On the barrage, there was still a lot of quarreling over the last question, whether to choose 1 or 2.

Tang Ying was speechless, and decided to try all the previous choices again.

After trying it out, the barrage is no longer noisy, because the second option is not as good as the first one!
Tang Ying finally figured out the urgency of the whole prologue, that is, no matter what you choose, you will be locked up in the treatment center in the end. The only difference is your initial attributes after entering the treatment center.

Players have four attributes, namely obedience value, resistance value, stress value, and health value.

Stress value and health value are easy to understand, which means mental stress and physical health status. Every time you are shocked by an electric shock, your stress value will increase and your health value will decrease.

Tang Ying tried to die for a while and kept answering wrong options. In the end, she went straight to the bad ending, and was electrocuted to death after her health value was cleared.

As for what happens when the mental pressure is full, Tang Ying didn't try it out, because the health value dropped by clicking is more than the stress value added, that is, before the pressure value is full, the person has been electrocuted to death.

However, Tang Ying reckons that this pressure level is full, and it is probably the same as the "Working Dog Survival Manual", people will go crazy directly, and it is still a bad ending.

As for the obedience value and resistance value, these two are relative. Answering the option that Professor Yang wants to hear will increase the obedience value, struggling several times in a row or saying that Professor Yang does not want to hear the option will increase the resistance value, and at the same time, there will be an increase in the resistance value for the other option. Small cuts.As for the specific use of these two values, Tang Ying did not research it out, because the content of the prologue is too little.

As for the option after being electrocuted, no matter how you choose it, it will not affect the subsequent plot.

If you choose [escape], you will be arrested by a burly man. Professor Yang will tell your father that "the child is seriously ill and needs to increase the course of treatment to three months", and will add an extra electrotherapy.

Choose [Tell the truth to Dad] and claim that you have been abused by electric shock, then Professor Yang will explain to the man that this is the latest treatment. The middle-aged man does not believe what the child says. If it is added to four months, an additional electrotherapy will also be added.

In short, the first option is the most correct option, one is the shortest time, 2 months, and the other is that there is no extra electrotherapy, so you can start the game with a lower stress value and a higher health value.

"This game is so speechless, mindlessly choose the option of resignation and it's over? Shit." In the barrage, a certain audience cursed.

Tang Ying didn't speak, and continued with the next game.

……

After the prologue, we come to the content of Chapter 1.

But unexpectedly, the time of Chapter 1 is set two weeks after the prologue, and the protagonist is no longer the little boy, but a male reporter instead.

When the game started, a speeding car stopped at the entrance of the Technology Defense College. A young reporter in casual clothes got out of the car, showed his press card to the vicious guard, and then entered the Technology Defense College smoothly. .

As the male reporter walked in, he observed everything in private, including the students in gray military uniforms, the surrounding buildings, and so on.

During this process, Tang Ying could not control the actions of the male reporter, and the narrator was speaking as a male reporter.

"My name is Gao Yongzhou, and I'm a reporter."

"Three days ago, a homicide occurred in S City. A 17-year-old boy brutally murdered his mother with a dining knife at home. He hacked more than 30 knives and blood flowed all over the ground. Afterwards, the boy committed suicide."

"The Public Security Department quickly closed the case, because there was no doubt in this case. The murderer was the 17-year-old boy, and he had committed suicide. After careful investigation, the Public Security Department ruled out the possibility of other homicides."

"But I have doubts about this case, because according to the interviews with the boy's classmates, friends and surrounding neighbors, the boy is not like a heinous mother killer. After in-depth investigation, it was found that the boy was killing his mother Before that, he just came out of a place called 'Science and Technology Defense Academy', and before that, he spent six months there."

"I began to wonder whether this experience had any great stimulation to the boy, which caused his temperament to change suddenly."

"I contacted Professor Yang, the person in charge of the Science and Technology Defense Institute, hoping to conduct an exclusive interview. I thought that I would hit a snag and might need to use an unannounced interview, but I didn't expect Professor Yang to readily agree to my request for an interview."

"This made me shake my own judgment, so I came to this academy located in the outskirts of the satellite city of S city to try to find out the truth of all this."

After the narration ended, Tang Ying found that she could control the reporter.

Tang Ying was a little surprised: "A two-line plot? Two protagonists? And a staggered timeline?"

Obviously, the time has been stated at the beginning, and now it is two weeks after the boy was sent in. During this period, the boy must have suffered a lot.However, the game did not choose to tell the story of what happened within two weeks at this time, but shifted the perspective to the reporter, looking at the Science and Technology Defense Academy from the reporter's perspective.

Tang Ying controlled the reporter to move around. Up to here, the game is not much different from ordinary games, but the surrounding scenes are very real, even a little too real, which looks very earthy.

Journalists can move around the place without being stopped by the guards.

Moreover, today's weather is good, it is a sunny day, in stark contrast to the cloudy weather when the boy came in.

There is a very simple goal in the upper left corner: [Investigate the Technical Defense Academy].

There are several sub-goals below the goal, namely [Interview with the person in charge, Professor Yang], [Interview with the students], [Observe the playground], [Visit the classroom], [Visit the treatment room No. 13] and so on.

Moreover, this time you can also open the item bar to view the items on the reporter.

There were several items on Gao Yongzhou's body, Tang Ying looked at them one by one.

There is an investigation file, which describes some details about the murder; there are several pictures of the scene; there is a notebook, and the key information recorded before can be seen when you open the notebook;

This miniature photography equipment is not big, it is a slightly flattened cylinder, its diameter is larger than that of ordinary mineral water bottle caps, and its thickness is about three centimeters. It can be hung in the interlayer of clothes on the chest for some unconventional shooting.

After checking the reporter's belongings, Tang Ying controlled the reporter Gao Yongzhou and walked towards the main building in front of him.

　Thanks for the reward, continue to ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!
