Strange game designer

Chapter 15 Seven Levels
Looking carefully, Zhao Xi's black and white photo of Zhao Xi is different from all the photos Gao Ming had obtained before. The photo is full of wrinkles and cracks, and all traces converge on the chains on the arms of Gao Ming and Zhao Xi.

"Those black chains seem to be moving..."

Zhao Xi in the posthumous photo is a bit blurry. He seems to be transferring something to Gao Ming through chains.

"The words behind the black and white photos seem to be hinting to me that if you want to gain Zhao Xi's abilities, you must let more people know about his past and let him completely let go of his obsession."

"But having said that, what is Zhao Xi's ability? Can he survive jumping from a building?"

"There are also big differences between the posthumous photos. It seems that I still have a lot of things to explore and test."

Gao Ming put away the two photos. He planned to take all the photos with him the next time he entered the game, try them one by one, and let his family members get to know each other.

"I wonder if Qi Yan is still alive? I should remind Zhao Xi and Teacher Yao that there may be a cruel and dangerous rainy night murderer hiding in the apartment building."

The lights in the corridor came on, and Gao Ming returned to the fifth floor. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xuan Wen fall on her back, knocking the disfigured investigator to the ground.

"Don't your investigation bureau teach fighting?"

The investigator lying on the ground thought Gao Ming would come to dissuade him, but Gao Ming's words made his cry for help get stuck in his throat: "I, we...we never take action against ordinary people!"

"What a principle." Gao Ming entered the house, locked the security door, closed the windows, and drew the curtains: "No one can hear us now. Do you want to have a frank exchange of words?"

Xuan Wen glanced at Gao Ming and put on an angry expression. She clasped the investigator's arm and yelled, "Why did you suddenly show up at my house?"

"It's broken! It's going to be broken! Let go first, and I'll tell you guys slowly!" The investigator got up from the ground with great effort: "You two are witnesses of the abnormal event, and you have nothing to hide. What’s the point?”

He rubbed his wrists and told the two of them the information about the unusual incident.

"I'm a little strange. You said that an abnormal event occurred in Xinhu half a year ago. Why can't anyone search for any information?" girl.

"Even for investigators who know various survival rules, the probability of successfully surviving an abnormal event is only 30.00%. The survival rate of ordinary people is less than one-tenth, and the very small number of ordinary people who survive will remain. If they suffer from serious psychological problems and physical disabilities, they will be sent to the Investigation Bureau to receive free treatment." The investigator looked at Gao Ming: "It is precisely because of this that I think he is very powerful and want him to join the investigation. Bureau."

"If I don't join, will I also be taken away for 'treatment'?" Gao Ming stared at the investigator with "interest."

"No." The investigator's tone became serious: "You can't hide it. Abnormal events will break out on a large scale sooner or later. What we can do now is to make more adequate preparations and responses while delaying the arrival of disasters. .”

"Can anyone join?" Xuan Wen seemed to have other ideas.

"This friend of yours is very smart, and he is also the bravest person I have ever met. He can save more citizens by joining the investigation bureau, but he will indeed encounter various dangers." The investigator felt a little scared as he touched himself Face: "I became like this because of a certain abnormal event. And I am already lucky. Among the investigators who entered at the same time, I was the only one who survived."

"I will seriously consider it." Gao Ming didn't know when the disaster would break out, so joining the investigation bureau seemed like a good choice.

"We are on the front line to face danger, but correspondingly, when danger comes, our rights will be very great." The investigator made a small hint, and then changed the topic: "In the future, you will also have We may encounter abnormal events again, this internal survival code that we have not yet perfected is my gift to you."

Sliding the black ring, the investigator asked Gao Ming to take out his mobile phone. After exchanging contact information with Gao Ming, the investigator sent Gao Ming a piece of information.

"Abnormal events are divided into seven levels according to their severity, danger and destructiveness." The investigator was very optimistic about Gao Ming and carefully interpreted the information for Gao Ming:
"Level 0: It is determined that an abnormal event has occurred, but its severity and danger do not include any of the following levels 1 to 6."

"Level 1: The event showed an abnormal phenomenon, but the anomaly will not interfere with real people, will not come into contact with people, and will not affect the normal lives of people in the site where the incident occurred." "Level 2: The abnormal phenomenon is obvious It affects people. People in the site where the incident occurs begin to behave abnormally, including but not limited to insanity, confusion, cognitive confusion, etc. The abnormal behavior is limited to the site where the abnormality occurs. People who come into contact with the abnormality still remain rational. After his behavior gets out of control, he can be persuaded by others to return to normal."

"Level 3: A specific 'ghost' appears in an abnormal event, and the behavior of the person who comes into contact with the abnormality is completely out of control, and begins to commit suicide or attack others. His self-perception is completely assimilated to the abnormality, and his close family members cannot stop his behavior. ."

"Level 4: Abnormal events begin to show signs of spreading. As fear spreads, the scope of influence continues to expand. At this stage, the 'ghost' as the core of the abnormal events begins to grow rapidly. Killing, blood, fear, and all negative emotions will be affected by it. Eat it, and all uneasiness will become its nourishment.”

"Level 5: The scope of the abnormal event's impact is very large. The 'ghosts' in the abnormal event have become 'mature' and are extremely difficult to kill. They have taken root in people's hearts."

"Level 6: Abnormal events are completely out of control. There is no solution to such anomalies. They themselves represent fear. All investigators should avoid Level 6 anomalies at all costs!"

"What we just experienced was a level 3 abnormal event, because a specific 'ghost' appeared. To be honest, without you, I would be dead." The investigator seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, that person is with us Where is the old man?"

"After he went down to the first floor, he disappeared." Gao Ming did not disclose the existence of the photo.

"It's broken!" The investigator's expression changed and he ran towards the door: "The old man is trapped in an abnormal event!"

Gao Ming followed the investigators to 2707. Teacher Yao had stopped breathing. His daughter called the emergency number early, but it was too late.

Teacher Yao's thin and shrunken body formed a contrast with the various awards and banners on the wall. Until his death, there were still photos of his bravery in youth beside his pillow.

"The old man may have his own choice."

The old man was gone, but there was no cold feeling in the house. It seemed that he could finally sleep soundly.

After the ambulance took Teacher Yao away, Gao Ming and Xuan Wen returned to 2507. It was their time now.

"Did you take that uncle to clear the ghost story game in my room?" Xuan Wen tilted her head and looked at Gao Ming, the smile on her face still gentle.

"Don't be so weird. I wanted to take you with me, but you didn't show up." Gao Ming took out Zhao Xi's photo: "The blank photo you gave me has disappeared. The 'ticket' seems to be just It can be used once.”

"It's strange that I was excluded from the outside." Xuan Wen slowly approached: "The Monster Game is extremely dangerous. I'm a little curious about how you cleared it."

"Compared with the danger level classification given by the Investigation Bureau, the danger of the Kaitan game that is triggered in advance is only level three, but the ghosts in the game themselves should have the potential to grow into Kaitan." Gao Ming was not prepared to put Zhao Xi's He gave the posthumous photo to Xuan Wen, but he couldn't just ask Xuan Wen to pay without giving Xuan Wen anything in return: "Look carefully at this black and white photo, I found another way to make you more real and powerful. "

"The chain blood vessels on the photo are beating? What is that?" Xuan Wen discovered something special about Zhao Xi's photo.

"The chain can be understood as the bond between family members. I can obtain his abilities, but at the same time, I need to let more people know his pain..." Gao Ming turned the photo of his body to the back: "I am thinking about a possibility, right? Let more people know Zhao Xi's story and bring about emotional changes for Zhao Xi. What can the dead Zhao Xi gain from it? It does not necessarily have to send living players to a place where the two worlds overlap to experience life and death. Maybe we can turn Zhao Xi’s experience into a game. This game is equivalent to Zhao Xi’s tombstone, and the emotions generated by each player during the clearance process may have an impact on Zhao Xi.”

"That makes sense, but I want to remind you one thing. Your game became reality because you encountered something in that tunnel, not because of your own abilities. If you want to let Now that the game I created has become a reality, I’m afraid I have to go to that tunnel again to figure everything out.”

"I never thought about letting my game continue to become a reality. I just wanted to use this method to let more people know about Zhao Xi's story." Gao Ming naturally put away the black and white photo of Zhao Xi: "If Zhao Xi has indeed changed, and your life is equivalent to having a safer escape route."

"What? You want to eat me?" Xuan Wen put her hands back as if they were restrained.

"Say that again." Gao Ming picked up his backpack and walked outside: "Am I like that kind of person?"
