Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 324: What is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? It is clearly Ethan's Clubhouse (Subscribe)
The warm family was instantly destroyed by gunfire and bullets, and the living room was in a mess.

The smell of gunpowder in the air kept rushing into Liu Peijia's nose, causing him to cough. Everything seemed so real.

At this moment, he lost control of Ethan's body again and could only observe everything happening at the scene from a first-person perspective.

Ethan was hunched over and trembling all over. He twisted his body with difficulty and crawled towards where Mia was. He stretched out his right hand to check whether Mia was dead or alive.

At this moment, a pair of large feet in low leather boots appeared in the villa. He pushed open the messy dining table. Ethan was lying on the ground. Hearing the noise, he raised his head and looked upwards along his low boots.

He saw a burly man wearing a black leather jacket, with facial features carved like a sculpture. He was holding a pistol in his right hand and looking down at him.

When Ethan saw who was coming, he shouted in disbelief: "Chris? Why?!"

"I'm sorry, Ethan."

Chris spoke calmly, raised his gun and pointed it at the fallen Mia, and pulled the trigger amid Ethan's loud scream.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"No!" Ethan demanded, "What...why?!"

Chris stood there quietly without answering.

The window glass of the living room on the first floor was broken, and a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in, surrounded Ethan and aimed their guns at him.

Ethan's eyes went dark and when he woke up again, he found himself being held hostage by soldiers and walking in a dark corridor. The car lights outside the house were shining, and Chris was standing in the light.

Before Ethan could question Chris, he heard Rose crying. A soldier holding Rose walked up to Chris and said:

"No threat."

"Rose?" Ethan asked in disbelief, "Chris, what are you going to do with my child?"

The soldier handed the child to Chris: "We have the target, sir."

Chris took the child and glanced at Ethan: "Take him away."

Ethan, eager to save her, broke free from his restraints, rushed to Chris in a rage, and yelled, "I said—Don't! Touch! Her!"

"Ethan..." Chris said calmly but firmly: "Don't!"

Seeing this, the soldier standing nearby raised the butt of his gun without mercy and smashed it hard on Ethan's head.

With a muffled groan, Ethan fell to the ground and lost consciousness. The whole world seemed to be filled with only Rose's increasingly loud crying.

Chris ordered his soldiers, "Get him out."

At this moment.

At the offline game exhibition hall of the Travel Cup Liangshan, at the Hu Baoyi Hall, a huge crowd of onlookers stood outside the exhibition hall, looking at the live broadcast on the various screens, and they were all stunned.

No? What are you doing, old thief?

Games from other manufacturers are so scary!
You, the foreplay of the plot hasn’t ended yet?

"This isn't scary, is it? But you know what, this plot is really exciting. Especially when it suddenly shifts from the paper-cut world to the house, it's like a bedtime story. The painting style is really great!"

"I like the Riddler with this kind of worldview. It's quite interesting."

"All of this started three years ago, right? What happened three years ago? I always feel like if Lao Zei produced the story from three years ago, it would be pretty exciting, right?"

"Ethan was knocked unconscious, Mia was beaten to death, and Rose was taken away. What does this tell us?"

"I know - you can't drink vegetable and meat soup so late at night!"

"Cyber-eater, get out of here!"

Several phone calls were heard on the screen in the exhibition hall, and a desk lamp next to the bedside table emitted a dim light.

The onlookers took a look and were surprised.

Is this old thief switching up the plot again?
Everyone shut up and stared intently at the screen in the exhibition hall.

Ethan answered the phone while lying on the bed and said, "Hello, doctor."

As Ethan's perspective shifted, Liu Peijia observed the current environment very clearly.

He was currently lying on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor. Mia was coaxing her child in front of the cradle. The slanting sunlight outside the window indicated that it was dusk, and everything seemed warm and peaceful.

The doctor's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Hello, Mr. Winters, your child's results are out. Could you two come over to discuss this, how about next Thursday, 4 pm?"

"No problem, see you then."

After hanging up the phone, Ethan looked up and saw Mia walking to the head of the bed. He explained:
"The doctor called and made an appointment to see you next week."

Mia sat on the edge of the bed, not saying a word.

Ethan comforted him, "Okay, be positive, okay? We talked about this."

Mia lowered her head and said, "Yeah, we basically haven't talked about anything else. I've always told you that it's not Rose that I'm worried about."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Mia heard this, got up angrily and walked out the door. Ethan asked, "Hey, she'll be fine, I know! What's the matter?"

Mia stopped and yelled at Ethan: "Care about us, Ethan! I care about you, you just don't--"

"Mia, what are you talking about?" Ethan walked over to Mia from the bed and asked, "Are you hiding something from me? Can you tell me?"

Faced with Ethan's questioning, Mia fell silent.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone rang, Ethan picked up the phone and said helplessly: "Asshole, I'll take a call."

Mia left the room angrily. The phone kept ringing but was never answered.

The scene changes. When the memory ends, Ethan tries to open his eyes and finds that the vehicle transporting him has overturned on a snowy road. He is now lying in the snow, with a bone-chilling cold sweeping through his body.

Ethan looked around tremblingly. Beside him, messy supplies from the escort vehicles were scattered around. Dead soldiers fell not far from him. His phone fell from his pocket onto the snow and kept ringing.

"It's fatal..."

Ethan staggered to his feet and answered the phone. A voice came from the other end of the phone -

"It's so slow! How's the situation over there? Is the target okay?"

Ethan's voice trembled as he asked, "What are you talking about? Where is Chris Redfield? Where is Rose?"

"Who are you? This is a dedicated line. You are not authorized to use this call channel—"

The call was immediately hung up, and Ethan cursed: "Fuck!"

He turned on the flashlight and looked around, surprised and a little bit unbelievable: "What on earth happened here?"

Ethan searched around and found a document next to a soldier's body.

[Mission Objective——] [1: Eliminate the target and recover the body]

[2: Protect Rosemary Winters and Ethan Winters]

[Special Instructions——]

[Send these two people to location C for further investigation. They must be escorted by at least two soldiers.]

"What the hell?" Liu Peijia said in surprise:
"I thought it was a mission for the players, but it turns out it's a mission for Chris and the others?"

At this moment, the night enveloped the snow-covered earth. In the wilderness, the temperature was extremely low. The moon was hidden behind layers of dark clouds, and the whole world seemed to be illuminated only by the flashlight.

The cold wind was blowing so fiercely that I could feel the ice and snow rushing into my mouth and nose with every breath.

With the help of the Fenghuo-3 holistic gaming cabin, Liu Peiqie successfully transformed from a big anchor into a little grandson, completing the super evolution of his generation.

"Hiss...is it necessary to play it so seriously?"

Liu Peijia tremblingly called out the UI control panel and lowered the body sensation.

After recovering, Liu Peijia searched around the rollover scene but found nothing new. However, he found a set of footprints in the snow nearby, whose owners were unknown.

Snowy night?

In the wilderness?

Exploring alone?

Old thief, you know how to make things difficult for players.

This is the only clue we have right now, and we have to follow it.

Liu Peijia plucked up his courage and walked along the footprints, staggering in the snow.

The only sound in the world seemed to be Ethan's rapid breathing. He continued to move forward through the iron net made of wire, but strange noises came from his side.

Liu Peijia swallowed nervously, looked around carefully, and found nothing unexpected, so he continued walking forward.

The muddy path in the snow was extremely rugged, with tree branches growing on both sides, and you had to use your hands to pull the branches apart from time to time.

After walking for a while, Liu Peijia discovered that there were dead crows covered in blood hanging on many branches in front of him.

Liu Peijia pretended to be calm and continued walking forward. Suddenly, a crow in front of him flapped its wings and made a rapid cry.

"Ah—fuck!"

Liu Peijia was so frightened that he waved his hands wildly, pushed the crow away, and rushed over.

After crossing a small bridge, we came to the end of the muddy path, where a wooden hut stood. The steps at the door were covered with bloodstains.

"Gudong..." Liu Peijia smiled bitterly, "Old thief, don't tell me that the player has to leave the hut to continue to advance the plot? There is no ghost in this hut. I will take your surname."

However, although he said that, his fear was reduced by several levels, because he had seen this kind of door-open killing many times. In Liu Peijia's opinion, this kind of door-open killing was far less scary than the crow with a strong sense of atmosphere.

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, making an old creaking sound. The room was dark and the surroundings were too quiet, so the inexplicable sound of dripping water seemed particularly clear.

"They didn't even open the door to kill him?" Liu Peijia was a little surprised.

He looked around the house with the dim light of a flashlight and found that the faucet in the sink was not closed tightly.

He came to the sink and turned off the faucet. The sound of dripping water subsided, but he didn't wait for a few seconds for silence.

"Teng... bang... hong——"

In the wooden house, all kinds of strange noises came one after another. Liu Peijia looked down and saw the bloodstains at the door spreading all the way through the house and finally disappeared into the dark basement.

Can’t you come into the house?

Still have to go to the ground?

At this moment, the live broadcast room was filled with comments from netizens.

"There's a road to heaven, but you don't take it. There's no door to hell, but you break in?"

"Oh no! I was laughing at the fact that the horror game made by the old thief was not scary at all, but I didn't know that the crows on the way scared me so much, and now he wants to go into the basement? Isn't this going to kill me?"

"Killed by opening the door, tap, I thought there was something wrong, but it was not. General Tiangong's horror game is very innovative this time."

"I was scared to death watching the live broadcast in the first person. It's really hard for the cowardly Liu Peijia."

"In the past there was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and now there is Ethan's Clubhouse!"

Horror games are not Liu Peijia's forte, but a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good anchor.

There are not many opportunities to broadcast Taipingdao’s first horror game in advance at the Journey Cup. How can he give up such a huge exposure?
Liu Peijia gritted her teeth and walked down the stairs carefully into the basement. She originally thought there would be some ghosts or something, but in the end nothing happened.

He let out a long sigh and began to search the basement. Soon he found a photo frame with an old yellowed photo in it. However, there was no information or clues, so he couldn't see any clues.

With the help of the flashlight, Liu Peijia followed the blood trail. At this moment, the sound of objects colliding was heard again in the basement, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark and enclosed space.

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"

"We just captured a few demons and subdued a few monsters..."

Liu Peijia hummed a song to give himself courage and carefully observed the movement of the bloodstains on the ground. He found that the bloodstains finally disappeared into the wardrobe, and the sound of objects colliding could be heard from inside the wardrobe.

Water friend: "..."

eggplant:"……"

That's what you did, right?
There is no ghost in this cupboard, old thief, I believe you!
Liu Peijia took a deep breath, prepared herself mentally, reached out to open the wardrobe, and a little mouse escaped from the wardrobe.

There were no ghosts in the cabinet, only a broom, an iron box and some scattered sundries. There were still traces of blood in the cabinet. The noise just now must have been caused by a mouse bumping into these sundries.

"Fuck, I worried for nothing." Liu Peijia let out a long sigh and turned around: "It seems that the old thief doesn't like this old routine. This game is totally unpredictable. What's the scary part?"

"boom!"

At this moment, the ceiling of the basement suddenly collapsed, and some wooden boards hit the ground with a loud noise.

"what!"

Liu Peijia's scream was louder than the sound of the ceiling collapsing, but after he finished screaming he realized that he was scaring himself. He scratched his chin awkwardly and uttered a sentence after a long while -

"It would be better if some monsters appeared. I was not scared by any monsters along the way, but was scared by the ceiling and crows instead. Isn't it unfair for me?"

Having said that, Liu Peijia understood that he was getting closer and closer to danger. Where did the wooden house come from in this desolate wilderness with ice and snow? Where did the bloodstains come from in the wooden house? Why did the ceiling collapse? These were all problems!
Liu Peijia walked down the stairs in the basement to the first floor and found that the door was blocked by fallen objects, leaving only a small space. She lay on the ground and barely crawled out. The blood-stained floor in front of her made her left hand covered in blood.

When he stood up, he found that an irregular exit was torn out by an unknown force in the wooden wall not far away. The originally dark night had now turned into a foggy day.

Liu Peijia frowned even deeper. He left the hut and continued walking along the road in front of him. Not long after, he saw a majestic castle surrounded by mist between the mountains in the distance.

Ethan exclaimed: "Where am I?"

When Liu Peijia saw this scene, he couldn't help but transform into Liu Haizhu:
"Hey... Oh my god, you little bastard, where are you going? Is this still China?"
