Chapter 855: The Best Reward (One Update)
"Rustling ......"
After a snowflake, an image appeared on the old-fashioned black-and-white TV screen.
Old P can be sure that it is Mary, because her appearance is exactly the same as Maria, but the clothes and hairstyles she wears are more traditional and conservative.
"Are you recording again? Oops......"
Mary smiles at the camera, waves her hand, and sits down in a chair next to the bed.
"I don't know why, I just love it here."
"It's quiet."
"I said a long time ago that this place was once a holy place......"
"Now I understand why."
"It's a pity that we're leaving ......"
"Promise me you'll take me back, okay? Ahem......"
Mary arrives in front of the camera expectantly, but suddenly coughs uncontrollably.
Then, the picture on the TV suddenly became chaotic, and the fragments flashed quickly, and I don't know if this is a video or a memory in the actor's mind.
Or, the video and the memories in the hero's mind are mixed together, intertwined and indistinguishable......
In the chaotic clips, there is a picture of Mary looking out the window and contemplating, and there is also a picture of Mary lying on the bed and the male protagonist taking care of her......
However, there is another very scary scene.
In front of Mary's hospital bed, the male protagonist stood up abruptly and blocked the camera.
In the midst of the chaos, there seemed to be a blurry figure pulling over something at the head of the bed and slamming it down......
There was only a snowflake left on the TV.
At this time, the actor seemed to have been drained of all his strength, sitting in front of the TV, his head hanging weakly, and looking at the floor.
Lao P can't move, and he can't shift his perspective, so he can only look at the floor motionless, blankly like the male protagonist, listening to the rustle of the black and white TV, as if ...... A dead man.
Laura, a little girl, runs in and asks if the protagonist has found Mary, and when she sees that the protagonist is motionless, she gently nudges the protagonist's shoulder.
Old P's vision flickered, but he still stared blankly at the ground, motionless and deaf.
After a long time, the male protagonist raised his head.
"Laura, Mary is gone...... It's dead. ”
Laura exclaimed, "No, you're a liar! She...... She's dead? Sick and dead? ”
The actor shook his head.
"No...... I killed her. ”
……
……
At the end of the game, everything becomes more chaotic.
However, Lao P has gradually understood a little bit of the truth of the matter.
Mary did not die of illness, but the protagonist killed her with his own hands.
Because Mary had an incurable disease, she was bedridden for three years, tortured, and had to wait for death.
This desperate life makes Mary furious with everyone around her, especially the main character, James.
And James was also tormented by such a life, and even wanted to escape, afraid to see Mary.
Until one day, Mary said to James that she had had enough of this pain and that she wanted to die.
James personally helped Mary end the pain, but this memory was too painful for him, so he was enclosed in the depths of his spiritual world, only remembering that Mary died of illness.
And Silent Hill is a terrible place that can conjure up all the negative emotions in people's hearts, so James came to Silent Hill, and the bizarre scenes he saw, those terrifying monsters, and all kinds of ......
In fact, it was all the dark side of his heart.
At the end of the game, Old P finally defeats the terrifying Triangle Head and kills the monster that Maria incarnates.
Finally, James seems to have traveled back in time to Mary's sickbed, and has one last conversation with Mary, who is already dead.
Mary was lying on her hospital bed, her face withered, and she had been tormented by her illness to the point of being inhuman.
James: "I'm sorry......"
Mary coughed twice, "I said, I want to die, James." I want to put an end to this suffering. ”
"That's why I'm doing this, I can't watch you suffer......"
James paused, then shook his head again: "No, that's not the whole truth, you also said that you don't want to die...... The truth is, part of me hates you, hates you for taking my life......"
Mary interrupted him: "You killed me, and you suffered for it. Enough is enough, James......"
James hugged the dead Mary and left the room.
In the darkness, James's voice echoed in the ears of old P.
"Now I know the real reason why I came to this town."
"What am I afraid of?"
"Mary, without you, I have nothing......"
There was a fierce sound of tire rubbing, from far and near......
"Now, we can finally be together forever......"
James's side face appeared in the field of vision of the old P, but his eyes were closed and he walked peacefully. Under the silent water, Mary's voice calmly finished reading the letter to James.
"I saw that town, Silent Hill, in an endless dream."
……
"When I first knew I was dying, I refused to accept it."
"I'm mad at everyone around me, especially you, James."
"So, if you really hate me, I understand."
"But I want you to know ......"
"I love you forever, James."
……
"You have given so much, and I cannot afford to pay it back."
"So, I want you to live for yourself."
"For your own sake, James."
……
"James ......"
"You make me feel so happy......"
In the final scene, there is darkness. The background music "Promise" still echoes in the ears of old P, but this guitar song seems to have a completely different meaning.
When I first heard this tune, it felt creepy and chilling. It's obviously a somewhat cheerful tune, but it contains indescribable weirdness.
But when I listen to it now, it seems to be ...... There is a heavy sentimentality and sorrow.
This time, in the dark, Lao P did not quit the game immediately, but quietly read the entire production staff and listened to the song "Promise".
And the audience of the barrage was also immersed in the plot of the game, and the barrage in the entire live broadcast room was surprisingly consistent.
"Ahh This plot! ”
"QAQ, teary eyes!"
"What the hell, isn't this a horror game, why do I cry when I watch it!"
"Thank you Lao P, for bringing us such a wonderful game, if I let me play by myself, I will definitely not dare to play, thank you Lao P for taking us to play through the customs!"
"Tears broke down, and the last song was called "Promise"? Listen well......"
……
After clearing all the levels, Lao P returned to the landing space of the VR game pod.
At this time, a window popped up in front of him, and as the first 10,000 players who cleared "Silent Hill", they will be rewarded with any six games on the whole platform.
However, Lao P suddenly felt that this reward was not so important.
Being able to beat a game like Silent Hill seems to be the best reward in itself, right?
