Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

My sister carried the doll on her back and walked to the garden to look at the flowers. The baby cried and called her mother, and the birds on the tree laughed.

Zhu Zheng suddenly remembered the scary nursery rhyme he had just heard.

There seemed to be some realization in my heart.

Obviously everything that's going on here corresponds to the nursery rhyme.

The element [Doll] corresponds to the red skirt. She had her head cut off by her [sister]. She had strong resentment after her death and kept clamoring for her head.

Her abilities are related to curses and pollution.

The element [tree] corresponds to the fruit tree, and it has two abilities.

One ability corresponds to the [door], and all negative emotions such as pain and despair are sealed behind the door. The other ability is [infinite distortion]. The root system is infinitely differentiated and attacks the enemy.

The bird-beaked human-faced monster naturally corresponds to the element [bird], but what is its ability?

besides.

As the [sister] at the core of the nursery rhyme, where is she hiding and what abilities does she have?

Eyes narrowed.

The vigilance awareness has been raised to the highest level in my heart.

at this time.

With the appearance of the beaked and human-faced monster, the entire world is undergoing drastic changes.

The garden and the nearby open plains turned into a giant bird's mouth, and Zhu Zheng was just inside the bird's mouth.

The mouth quickly closed, and strange spatial turbulence appeared from deeper inside the bird's mouth, like an insurmountable natural chasm, blocking this place from the outside world.

Zhu Zheng did not escape.

Because the area covered by the beak was too large, he could not avoid it.

In this case, it’s better to take a closer look.

In changes, clues can often be discerned.

So Zhu Zheng observed attentively.

Soon, he had his own guess about the ability of [sister].

Because he vaguely saw a little girl with her hands around her knees.

The little girl closed her eyes, curled up into a ball, and slept behind the [door] with a peaceful face.

On her forehead, there is also a slightly illusory black fragment embedded in it.

Through the contrast of the shapes of the edges, it seems that it is the core part that is missing from the black symbol on Zhu Zheng's wrist.

My sister represents the core of the world. She is the starting point of distortion and the source of all derivative horror monsters. At the same time, it is certain that her abilities are related to space.

Whether it's the ghosts breaking the wall in the outside world or the space blockade here, it all comes from [Sister].

And the reason why [Sister] can cause such strange changes seems to be related to the incomplete fragment on her forehead.

With step-by-step thinking and careful observation, Zhu Zheng vaguely discovered some truth about this world.

Although there are still many doubts, he knows one thing in his heart. As long as he ends [sister], all this can be ended.

The space blockade has been completed at this time.

A giant cloud-like creature with a height of more than 100 meters appeared in an illusory form, then disappeared behind the [door].

The beaked and human-faced monster came to Zhu Zheng.

Zhu Zheng took two cautious steps back.

At this time, the monster with a bird's beak and a human face made a sharp and piercing scream, staring at Zhu Zheng, and an arrogant but pleasant voice sounded in Zhu Zheng's brain.

Insignificant human being, I am the greatest, kindest, most loving musician, conductor and screenwriter in the world - Mr. Neo.

Mr. Bird

Zhu Zheng always felt that the silly bird in front of him was calling himself Mr. Bird.

Of course, with so many names and so many titles, Mr. Bird is undoubtedly the most motivated bird in the world that Zhu Zheng has ever seen.

Just the corner of his mouth twitched, but he still felt that this name had a lot of flaws.

Could it be a stupid bird?

However, Mr. Neo thought Zhu was talking to it, so he interrupted.

Please note, it's Mr. Bird O, not Mr. Bird.

Mr. Neo retorted seriously, and then it continued: You don't need to say anything, I feel an aura in you that I don't like, so I decided to give you eternal death.

But the kind-hearted Mr. Neo is too kind, so he decided to treat you to the most beautiful musical in the world at the last moment of your life.

Its name is [Absurdity]!

Mr. Neo opened his arms as if embracing the void.

The next moment, with it as the center, a strange field spread to all sides.

Immediately, the entire world changed.

The fruit trees turned into dark curtains, and their distorted roots grew upward, intertwining into the dome of the dance hall.

Then, more roots grow.

One after another, they are like thick pythons, circling around the dome and walls, revealing the ferocious lamprey-like mouth at the top, looking for people to eat.

The garden turned into a stage at this time.

And on the open plain, wooden stools and chairs woven from roots and various buildings are constantly growing, including a small backstage makeup area.

The cabaret is set up and the guests can take their seats.

So the guests entered the song and dance hall one after another with ticket stubs in hand.

Those are red dresses.

All the women in red dresses had distorted faces and stitch marks on their necks. They walked in from the door and sat quietly on those wooden stools.

Soon, all the stools and chairs were filled with red dresses.

Only the center seat in the front row was left empty.

That was a position specially reserved for Zhu Zheng.

At this time, several lines of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[You are affected by Eldagos, the Devourer of Darkness. In this realm of darkness, Nyarlathotep's gaze and Iknagnitz's identity as an earthwalker are temporarily blocked. 】

[Now, please enjoy the musical rehearsed by Eldagos, the Devourer of Darkness - Absurd! 】

Zhu Zheng felt that his body lost control at this moment, and was controlled by a strange force to walk to the auditorium, sitting in the only empty seat.

After all the audience were ready, Mr. Neo appeared on the stage wearing a gorgeous red robe.

It stands to the left of the stage.

A beam of blood-colored light fell down, illuminating its figure.

then.

Under the conductor of Mr. Neo, melodious singing sounded.

The curtain opens.

Unspeakable and terrifying creatures take to the stage one after another.

If this scene were seen by a mortal, even if they just took a glance, they would lose all their sanity and go crazy.

This is totally beyond human viewing.

At this time, the melodious music began, and with the sound of music, the performance began.

These ugly creatures twisted their deformed limbs, presenting absurd ukiyo-e paintings in front of Zhu Zheng.

And from time to time there will be some interactive elements to interact intimately with Zhu Zheng in the seat.

As a price, these nameless creatures will take away a piece of Zhu Zheng's limb.

Due to the influence of Eldagos, the Devourer of Darkness, Zhu Zheng was unable to resist and could only watch all this happen.

It is indeed a stage play called [Absurdity].

Under the deliberate arrangement of Eldagos, the Devourer of Darkness, Zhu Zheng is gradually dying.
