Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 323 Mia: A little accident before bed, try and you will die (please subscribe)

When he opened his eyes again, Liu Peijia found himself becoming a star in the paper-cutting world, unable to move. He could only observe everything that happened in the forest from a God's perspective.

At this moment, a gentle voice with a hint of maternal love slowly sounded in my ears, as if I was lying in my mother's arms listening to songs when I was a child.

[Once upon a time, a girl and her mother went to pick berries for her hard-working father. But the forest was cold and quiet, and the bushes were empty.]

As the narrator tells the story, a tall woman and a lively and petite girl appear in the paper-cut world below, replicating the story according to the narrator's narration.

What is more bizarre is that no matter whether they are women or girls, they are all paper-cut figures and the overall painting style tends to be weird, strange, dark and Gothic.

[The naughty girl was determined to find the berries. She broke free from her mother's hand and disappeared into the woods.]

[The girl ran farther and farther away, and her mother's voice became fainter and fainter. She ran through vines and branches and ran deep into the forest.]

[The girl felt a strange gaze, and she remembered the terrible bedtime story her mother had told her, and her mouth became dry with nervousness.]

[Then the Bat Lord appeared. He greeted her warmly and bit his wings.]

"Come on, child, quench your thirst!" he said.

[She drank the blood happily and laughed.]

[When passing a cemetery, dark clouds and lightning suddenly appeared, and the air became freezing cold. The girl was wearing thin clothes and shivered with cold.]

[At this time, the Dark Spirit Weaver appeared and in the blink of an eye, she used the mist to make a beautiful dress.]

[“Come on, kid, warm yourself up,” he said with a laugh.]

【The girl put on the skirt happily and laughed. 】

[The girl sails on unknown waters, hoping to find a boat that can take her home.]

[But she was hungry and depressed, and then the deep-water fish king appeared and gave her a piece of his own fin.]

[“Come, child, and fill your stomach,” he preached.]

[The girl happily ate the fish fin and laughed.]

[Next, she soon arrived in the dark center of the forest.]

[At this time, the Iron Horse appeared, wearing a gorgeous golden gear on its head. ]

[The girl walks towards the horse, but it says nothing...]

[She mistakenly thought the golden gear was also a gift and took it away. The warhorse was furious and summoned the monster from before.]

[A strong wind blows around the monster, the girl becomes more and more scared, and a witch suddenly appears - dark but solemn...]

Just when Liu Peijia and her fans were so nervous that their hearts were about to jump into their throats, fog suddenly filled the entire paper-cutting world.

When Liu Peijia opened her eyes again, everything in front of her had changed.

In the cozy living room, blonde Mia sat on the sofa with her half-year-old child Rose in her arms. She held a book in her right hand and was telling Rose a bedtime story. It turned out that the previous paper-cutting world was just a bedtime story.

Liu Peijia, a player, is currently sitting on the sofa, playing the role of her husband Ethan. However, the game is still in the plot stage, and Liu Peijia can only watch but cannot act independently.

Seeing this, Liu Peijia became extremely alert. The warmer it is, the more likely it is that there is something fishy going on. You old thief can’t scare me!
"She shouted: The more I give you, the more you want. Then the price will be greater. In a blink of an eye, the girl was trapped in the mirror."

As her mother told her story, the girl yawned, closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep.

"Look, she's asleep." Mia looked down at the girl, a smile on her lips.

Ethan, who was sitting next to the sofa, asked curiously, "Why is this story so dark? She is only half a year old."

Mia closed the book and explained, "The people in the bookstore said it's a traditional story that has been passed down for a long time. Besides, Rose doesn't seem to care."

Ethan said, "Because she doesn't understand, thank God. We moved here to keep her away from all that, remember?"

Mia's tone suddenly became cold and serious when she heard this. She suppressed her nameless anger and said, "There's nothing wrong with my memory. It's you who's suspicious."

"I'm not... Never mind. I'm sorry." Ethan explained helplessly, "But this is not called being suspicious. This is called being cautious."

"Then carefully carry the child to the bed." Mia stood up and handed Rose to Ethan:

"I'm going to make dinner."

Mia stepped out of the living room and headed towards the kitchen.

Ethan looked at his wife's back as she left, his eyes full of complexity. He then looked down at Rose in his arms, and his complex thoughts turned into pity and care.

"It's okay, Rose."

"It's not your mother's fault that she wants to forget everything."

Mia asked loudly in the kitchen: "What did you say?"

"Nothing, I'm going to take the baby to bed." Ethan replied as he walked into the kitchen.

The wife, with her back to Ethan, was preparing dinner in the kitchen and said, "Don't get too close when I'm cooking, honey."

Ethan took the child to the bedroom on the second floor. As soon as he reached the stairs, the girl cried. Ethan patted the child and whispered:

"Be good, be good. I told your mom that scary fairy tales are not suitable for you."

Ethan walked quickly to the music box in the living room on the second floor, turned the switch, and said, "Your mother and I both like this song."

As the gears of the music box turned, the music slowly sounded, and Ethan carried the child to the baby's bedroom on the second floor.

The baby's bedroom is located on one side of the master bedroom, which makes it convenient for Ethan and Mia to take care of the baby at any time at night. There are many toys scattered on the floor of the bedroom that have not been put away.

When the child started crying again, Ethan picked up the little monkey next to him to comfort him:
"Eeyore, hello, little baby."

When the baby's crying stopped, he quickly put the baby into the cradle and whispered softly, "You can't keep your mother waiting - she's scary when she gets angry."

"Okay, baby, don't be afraid, Daddy is downstairs. Daddy won't let the monsters in the fairy tale get close to you."

It was not until this moment that the opening plot came to a temporary end and Liu Peijia regained the ability to move freely.

He quickly left the nursery and complained, "Last time, I thought it was a horror story, but you told me it was a recap. This time, I thought it was a horror story, but you told me it was a bedtime story?"

"No? This isn't scary, is it? Old thief, are you sure you're making a horror game?"

In the live broadcast room, the comments from the fans were scrolling wildly——

"Eggplant, don't you understand what kind of character this old thief has? The big one must be behind."

"Who hasn't seen the three tricks of horror games? What we want is something new!"

"Player: Resident Evil Village? Hmm - 99% rare!"

Complaining aside, he knew that this game was definitely not that simple. However, there was a problem that was bothering Liu Peijia.

"who am I?"

"where am I?"

"What do I want to do?"

When Liu Peijia first entered the game, she was first given a horrifying synopsis, followed by a Gothic bedtime story.

Now he plays the role of Ethan and is a good father.

But without any mission or prompts, what on earth should he do and what on earth can he do?

After much deliberation, Liu Peijia decided to make use of the characteristics of the player's fourth disaster and conduct a round of house searches.

After searching from the baby's room to the bedroom and then to the study on the second floor, he actually found a clue. The old laptop in the study was not only turned on, but also the document on the screen was open, which was an obvious clue to the game.

Liu Peijia carefully pulled out a chair and sat down, carefully reading the contents of the document.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Mia and I had another argument and I accidentally mentioned something that happened three years ago, so she got mad at me.

[We finally settled down in Europe, started a new life, and were able to raise Rose well.]

[But...I always feel like a part of me is still trapped in that hell in Louisiana.]

[I know Mia doesn't like to talk about this, but can we really forget everything and pretend nothing happened? ]

[Shouldn't we face up to everything that happened there, so that we can completely get rid of that nightmare and start a new life with Rose? ]

[At least we have a responsibility to do this for our children...]

[I know Mia also understands this. If she really didn't care, she wouldn't have had an emotional outburst in the hospital.]

"This should be Ethan's diary, right?" Liu Peijia muttered, "Three years ago? Three years ago again?"

Liu Peijia restored the laptop to its original state and stood up to continue searching the house.

Not long after, he found a test report in the drawer of a cabinet.

[Name: Rosemary Winters]

[Date of Birth: September 2020, 8]

[Height: 62.3 cm]

[Weight: 6.57 catties]

【Physical examination items (hearing, vision, touch, reflex test): All values ​​are normal, and the test subject is in good physical condition. 】

[Note: The results of additional pathogenic fungi testing will be provided by BSAA.]

【——Applefield Memorial Hospital】

"Oh." Ethan sighed: "Rose is fine."

"If someone really wants to deal with you, it wouldn't be considered paranoid." Ethan walked helplessly to the cupboard where the desk lamp was placed, picked up the photo album, and looked through the various photos of Rose from birth to the present.

After looking through the books for a long time, Liu Peijia left the study and came to another room that was covered in dust and had not been cleaned for a long time.

Ethan looked at the messy house and said, "We need to do a thorough cleaning before Rose leaves."

Apparently, although players can currently move freely in Resident Evil Village, Ethan will still complain about it or express his opinions when players interact with different quest items.

Liu Peijia had gotten used to this mode of play during his exploration during this period. He picked up a newspaper on the table and looked at it carefully.

[Investigation into the Dulwe gas incident concluded]

[The committee concluded its investigation into the 18 Dulway gas leak in Louisiana on the 2017th.]

[Investigations said the deadly gas leak was caused by the eruption of natural gas that had accumulated in the underground rock formations in the area.]

【Jack Baker (57 years old) and his family were involved in a toxic gas leak, and none of the four members of the family survived. 】

[Ethan Winster and his wife were also reportedly nearby at the time, but their current whereabouts are unknown.]

[The entire area has been cordoned off, with officials stating that the area will be uninhabitable for at least a decade.]

Ethan sighed: "It's a pity that no one remembers this anymore..."

Liu Peijia explored the second floor carefully, even the toilet, but there were no other clues except the medicine that Mia took on time. He walked downstairs and returned to the kitchen and sat at the dining table.

After a while, Mia came to the table with a pot of thick soup and asked with a smile, "How is she?"

"Sleeping soundly... like a baby." Liu Peijia took a deep breath, smelled the aroma of the thick soup, and drooled in his mouth, sighing in his heart:

"The synchronization of taste and smell is so realistic, isn't it? Mia's cooking skills are quite good. The aroma is much better than that of the cyber-eating broadcasters in Ark: Survival Evolved."

Ethan asked, "Hmm, it smells really good, what is it?"

Mia said, "Don't touch it, sir, it's vegetable and meat soup, a local dish."

Ethan exclaimed, “Wow, you’ve become a local already?”

Mia nodded smugly, picked up the red wine on the table and said, "We also have local wine. But if you're in a bad mood all night, you won't get any."

Mia explained as she poured the wine, "You really don't have to worry about it anymore."

“It’s just…” Ethan sighed, “Finding you in Louisiana, the pregnancy, Chris making us move, military training—it all happened so fast, didn’t it?”

"Yes." Mia nodded but emphasized: "But at least we are together. You, me, Rose, now everything will be-"

Before Mia could finish, Ethan interrupted, "Honestly? Do you really think we can just forget about Louisiana?"

"That's all in the past. I just... I don't understand why you're so—"

Because it was a plot dialogue, Liu Peijia was listening to Mia's conversation from a first-person perspective. She was not paying full attention and was a little distracted.

But at this moment.

boom!
A loud gunshot broke the warmth of home.

"what!!!"

Liu Peijia screamed like a duck: "No, what's going on? Who is shooting?"

Just now they were a warm family of three.

Now a gunfight starts in the blink of an eye?

Old thief, why don’t you give me a warning!

Doing this can easily scare people to death!

Mia was shot in the shoulder, and a cloud of blood mist exploded.

But she did not scream or wail in pain. She just stood there, looking down at the wound, then raised her head and looked around the living room, trying to find the murderer.

Ethan yelled, "Mia, get down!"

Before Liu Peijia could react, the main switch of the house was turned off and the lights in the house suddenly went out.

“Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang—”

Shuttle after shuttle of bullets rained down from the window into the house. Dinner, the chandelier, everything was destroyed in the gunfire.

"Mia! Mia!!"

Countless bullets hit Mia, and blood mist filled the air.

What’s strange is that despite such a powerful impact and injury, Mia did not fall to the ground and die immediately. Instead, she slid from the dining table to the ground due to the subsequent bullet impact.

Ethan cried, "Mia... no way?"
