Create horror games that scare players around the world

Chapter 78 I am Director Faden's Assistant
At this point, the game's real-time rendering changes from the protagonist's first-person perspective to the spectator's third-person perspective.

Just like the viewing angle of a movie.

In the huge house, the protagonist, Wanderer, came to the side of the homeless man with an expressionless face.

On the sofa, the middle-aged woman raised her head slightly, looked at the homeless man, then glanced at the protagonist, the Wanderer, and sighed.

She looked very tired at this moment, and wrinkles were clearly visible on her face.

[Sebastian, it's been 20 years, how are you doing?]
boom--

The bullet grazed the woman's head and shattered the cup behind her.

Strands of hair fluttered down to the ground.

Sebastian said nothing, with a complicated expression, and answered with bullets.

The detective was stunned.

"Just barely missed! What an amazing shooting skill!"

"This homeless guy is awesome! He just shoots and puts pressure on people when there's a disagreement!"

"Good! Very good! I like people who are so decisive!"

The room fell into silence. The middle-aged woman looked at her fallen hair and smoothed the hair by her ears nonchalantly.

[Is this how you treat old friends?]
[Old friend?]
Sebastian said without a smile, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

[With Mobius?]
These words plunged the room into deathly silence again.

The detective in front of the screen was thoughtful when he saw this.

This was the second time he heard the word Mobius.

The first time was on the fragments of Sebastian's diary.

Because of the blockade of the tower by the Firefly soldiers, he speculated about the existence of Mobius.

But what exactly is Mobius?

An organization? Or a big boss?

[How did you find me here?]
The middle-aged woman looked up and asked curiously.

But Sebastian didn't answer, just looked at him coldly.

This made the woman sigh and nod.

[Is it because of Firefly's blockade? I should have guessed it earlier. With your ability, it won't be difficult to find out the truth.]
[After all, 20 years ago, you were able to destroy Mobius's dangerous plan all by yourself.]
[You know, because of the changes in the world, they haven't recovered yet.]
they?

It’s confirmed, Mobius is an organization!

But the detective brother frowned again.

Did Sebastian destroy Mobius' dangerous plan 20 years ago?
What is the plan? Can you speak in human language so that I can understand?

Sebastian's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and the black muzzle of the gun glowed silver under the light.

[I ask you, am I still in the system?]
Sebastian asked, looking directly at the middle-aged woman, his tone devoid of any emotion.

But these words made the woman raise her eyebrows, then she lowered her eyes and shook her head.

[No, we're out. We've all escaped.]
[The world has changed, that's a fact, Sebastian, whether you believe it or not.]
Hearing this, the man's expression changed slightly and his breathing became rapid.

But soon, he calmed down, with the gun still pointed at the middle-aged woman.

[Why do you do this?]
[What? ]
The middle-aged woman was stunned and didn't react.

[You knew what was going to happen to that lighthouse, didn't you?]
The middle-aged woman was silent and did not answer.

Seeing this, Sebastian was very direct and he pulled the trigger again.
boom--

Another gunshot was heard, and the bullet passed over the woman's head and hit the table behind her.

This made her look stunned.

And the superb marksmanship once again proved the man's indifference.

[I have been looking for you for 20 years. Don't think I will show you mercy because you were once my subordinate.]
[If you want to be mute, Kidman, believe me, I will make it happen.]
[Now you better explain what Mobius is all about.]
[Where is Mobius now, who killed my daughter and destroyed my life and family! ]
The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Her demeanor and expression were fully revealed at this moment, which made the detective amazed.

But he didn't understand what the lighthouse meant.

But now we know some clues, that is, the Mobius organization killed the homeless man's daughter and destroyed his family.

My goodness, could this organization be one of those giants that is so awesome and powerful that ordinary people are powerless to fight against it?

And then Sebastian is the victim, and so attempts to topple the mountain on his own?
Inspiring! But also miserable.
[It seems that it is time for you to know the truth.]
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman stood up, walked to the cabinet, and took out a photo.

Then he handed it to the man.

In the third-person cutscene, the audience in the live broadcast room all saw the content of the photo.

As a result, the next second, everyone was stunned, including Sebastian.

Especially the detective brother, he exclaimed in surprise.

“What the hell!? Is this true!?”

This is a torn and yellowed photo. It clearly shows a family of three, but the wife on the right has been torn off, leaving only the father and daughter inside.

On the left side of the photo is a young and handsome man who looks 70% similar to Sebastian.

In the middle is a cute girl about seven or eight years old, smiling happily.

What is shocking is that this little girl looks exactly like the paper girl from before!
"Is this the same person!?"

The detective was a little surprised, but the next second, the homeless man's words made him more certain.

[Lily?]
"You really call her Lily!? That's what Bracken called that paper girl, too."

"Shit, this couldn't be Sebastian's daughter? The one on the left is a younger version of him?"

"No wonder Sebastian's eyes were so moved when he burned the paper man, but why did the tower let us see his daughter?"

In the cutscene, Sebastian puts down his gun and pulls out the other half of the photo of the woman from his clothes.

When the two are put together, they fit perfectly!

At this moment, he held the photo tightly with a slightly angry expression.

He quickly put the photo into his arms, took out the gun again, pointed it directly at the woman's forehead, and questioned loudly.

[Where did you get the photo?]
The middle-aged woman looked calm. She didn't care about the threat of firepower at all. She just kept talking to herself. [Lily is still alive, Sebastian.]
[I'm on your side, trust me.]
Hearing this, Sebastian's breathing became rapid, but his expression was firm and he did not waver.

[My daughter is dead, my wife has left me, don't think I will be fooled by Mobius twice.]
He pointed to the large piece of equipment in the middle of the room connected to the bathtub and said coldly.

[You disappeared for 20 years, traveling all the way to the tower in Harlan to rebuild the STEM? You said you were on my side?]
[If you're really on my side, you should destroy it!]
“So this machine is called STEM.”

The detective thought for a moment. Now he knew the name, but what was its function? What was it used for?
In the cutscene, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly became angry, and she looked at the man and replied loudly.

[Destroy it? Do you think I don't want to? If I wanted to, I could destroy it right in front of you right now!]
[But I can’t, and I tell you, everyone in the world has the right to destroy this STEM machine, except you, Sebastian!]
[Do you know why? Because your murdered wife Myra is inside!]
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole house fell into dead silence.

Sebastian looked stunned, his lips trembling, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
[You. What did you say?]
In front of the screen, the detective brother raised his brows, gossip and curiosity appeared on his face.

"Sebastian killed his wife?"

"And his wife is now inside a machine?"

"What the hell! What kind of machine is this that's so awesome?"

[I haven't seen Myra for 30 years, she left me a long time ago, and she was my wife, and you say I killed her?]
Sebastian replied calmly, staring directly at the middle-aged woman.

The latter also looked directly at the man, and did not give a direct answer to Myra's question.

[Do you know why you are the detective of the police station in Crimson City?]
[Do you know why I became your subordinate? ]
[Do you know why Mobius is targeting you?]
[You don't know anything, but I can tell you now.]
The middle-aged woman stared at Sebastian, took a step forward, and took the initiative to put her forehead against the muzzle of the man's gun.

[Because from the beginning, you, Sebastian, are an agent trained by Mobius! You are Mobius's man!]
When these words came out, Sebastian was stunned.

The expression on his face was full of shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
The detective in front of the screen was also confused.

"Wait, what's going on..."

"Mobius killed the homeless man's daughter and ruined his life and family..."

"Then the tramp wanted to fight Mobius and looked for the middle-aged woman for 20 years."

"So now you're saying that the homeless man was originally Mobius's man? He even killed his own wife?"

"Damn it, you need to grow your brain!"

[You must be kidding me I want to kill all of Mobius]
The man's expression became firm again, and he stared at the middle-aged woman.

The latter said nothing, but turned around, walked to the safe, took out a portable cassette player, and said slowly.

[Mobius once stole a piece of science and technology that was far ahead of its time from a mysterious organization.]
[Memory separation technology.]
[This technology involves implanting an isolation chip in the brain, which can completely separate a person's working memory from their daily memory.]
[The real-life version of you will not remember the colleagues you met at work, nor will you have any memory of work. You don’t even know that you are working.]
[Similarly, the working version of you will not remember your family in real life, nor will you know that you have a wife and daughter. The first thing you do when you open your eyes every day is to work, and you will not even know any news from the outside world.]
[Therefore, all the people who work in Mobius are unaware of the existence of Mobius. This is because their working memory is blocked after get off work and will not be restored until the next day when they go to work.]
[And you, Sebastian, in real life, you are a police detective. In work, you are a top agent of Mobius.]
[Because the police department in Klinson City is investigating Mobius's criminal information, they sent you, a loyal person, to the police department. They secretly support you along the way and plan to make you the sheriff so that they can give them the green light.]
[But in order to prevent other large companies, such as Mukoff, Umbrella, GRE, etc. from stealing the information about Mobius in your brain, they performed a memory separation operation on you.]
[Therefore, the real-life version of you has no idea that you are a Mobius agent. And the work version of you has no idea that you are a police detective outside.]
[Now, do you understand? Touch the back of your head, there is a stitched wound. That's where they implanted the chip.]
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked by the amount of information and was speechless.

The comments in the live broadcast room were slow, as if they were still digesting this passage.

The detective brother also opened his mouth wide, stunned for a long time.

Memory separation? Isn’t this too awesome?
Isn't this equivalent to two personalities?
Split a person into two people, one has to work every day, has no private life of his own, is unaware of the existence of his family, and is completely unaware of the outside world.

A person who just has fun every day and enjoys the money earned by his work personality.

Wow, it’s a total utopia and dystopia!

If what the middle-aged woman said is true, then doesn't it mean that the working personality is the same as going to work after get off work every day?

Because I have no memory of outside the company, the next second after getting off work I go back to work. The memory is seamlessly connected and I am in the company the moment I open my eyes.

Damn, this is hell! It's like being kept in captivity!
As for the living version, you don’t have to worry about work, you get paid every month, and the next second after you enter the company, you can get off work and go home. It’s so cool!
"Fuck, I want to do this surgery, but I want to be the real version of myself."

At this point, the cutscene continues.

Sebastian still pointed his gun at the middle-aged woman, but his expression began to show some movement.

[So, the reason why Mobius attacked me was because...]
[Yes, the real-life version of you, that is, you now, fell in love with Myra, who is responsible for investigating Mobius's criminal information.]
The middle-aged woman said.

[Not only did you get married, you also gave birth to Lily, and even helped investigate Mobius.]
[So, they taught you a lesson.]
Sebastian gritted his teeth, stared at the middle-aged woman, and asked impatiently.

[The reason Myra left me 30 years ago was.]
The middle-aged woman nodded and replied.

[She found the location of Mobius, and in order not to implicate you, she left you and went in alone to investigate.]
[It's just that she happened to meet the working version of you, and the working version of you is loyal to Mobius and has no memory of the outside world, so she doesn't remember Myra.]
[So, when Myra finds you and explains her investigation to you, the working version of you directly]
The middle-aged woman didn't say anything else, but everyone knew what had happened.

killed!
So that's how it is. I finally understand.

No wonder Sebastian killed his wife. It turned out that it was his work personality who killed her, and his life personality had no idea at all.

This is really too mysterious. After going around in circles, he finally discovered that he was the one who killed his wife! ?

Sebastian found it hard to accept this and his expression was somewhat painful.

[Has the working version of me not been curious? A woman suddenly came to me and told me about her investigation. This is an act of trusting others. Has the working version of me not been curious about her identity?]
The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment and shook her head.

[Myra probably didn’t say she was your wife, because you only found out about the work version later.]
[So, he recorded a video for you.]
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman handed over the portable cassette player in her hand.

The detective in front of the screen was instantly intrigued.

Good man, work version talking to life version? Especially when he killed his wife! What will this one-way conversation talk about?
Can't wait to provoke!
Sebastian took the device and flipped the switch.

The perspective immediately switched to the small screen of the player.

The picture looks a bit old, like an old TV from the 1970s, full of noise and occasional ripples.

Inside, there sat a relatively young man in a suit and tie, and it was none other than Sebastian!

At this moment, he sat in front of the camera, looking at the screen, and sighed slightly.

[Hello, me outside.]
[When you saw this video, I guess you knew the truth. At the same time, your relationship with Kidman has reached an irreparable point.]
[So, to prevent your relationship from falling apart, I asked Kidman to help record this video.]
[I envy you, I really envy you.]
[When I found out I had a family outside, do you know how I felt?]
[I am proud of myself! Although before, I didn’t know what my wife and daughter looked like or what their names were. But now, I know that I am no longer a person.]
As he spoke, the working version of Sebastian took out a photo from his arms, his expression slightly touched.

[I have a daughter...she's really cute.]
[I heard her name is Lily, right? What a nice name...]
[I really want to see her, see my child...]
Having said this, he suddenly paused, looking regretful.

[This photo was found on her.]
[It was then that I realized that I was the most important person to her and the one she trusted the most, but I killed her with my own hands.]
[I now understand why there was disbelief and astonishment in her eyes...]
As soon as he finished speaking, Sebastian punched himself hard. The sound was dull and the force was obvious. There was even a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Then he tore off half of the photo, held it tightly in his hand, and looked at the camera again.

[Listen, I'm outside. Lily is not dead. She's still in Mobius.]
[You can trust Kidman, she's trustworthy. I'll give her half of the photo, and I'll keep the other half for myself.]
[Remember, Kidman is the only one in Mobius who can help us.]
[Also, I hope you can promise me something, okay.]
In the picture, Sebastian stood up, clenched his fists, and spoke solemnly to the camera.

[Save Lily, and then... burn this damn place to the ground.]
The video ends.

The homeless man Sebastian was silent for a while before he looked at the middle-aged woman again.

said coldly.

[Kidman. Who are you?]
The middle-aged woman sat back on the sofa. She did not hide her identity.

[Remember what I said earlier, Mobius stole the memory separation technology from a mysterious organization.]
[In order to investigate the cause of the technology theft, the organization sent a spy into Mobius.]
As she spoke, the woman looked up at Sebastian and the protagonist, Wanderer, beside her, and spoke slowly.

[That person is me.]
[I am an assistant to Director Faden, who is at the top of the organization.]
