Ben opened the game again. Last night, he played a bit of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" and then went to sleep.
Looking at the bright sun outside and the 'thank you' messages sent by his four good friends, Zack, Hannah, Joey, and Wells, on his phone, he felt like he was back in the game.
Of course, besides the personal psychological reasons, there was another very important reason, and that was that he found that his game time was actually the shortest of them all, less than half an hour.
But Zack's game time was as high as 41 minutes, and he couldn't stand that.
Of course, after coming back, Ben regretted it a bit.
Big talk before, silence after.
As soon as he entered the room, with this atmosphere, the fear of being controlled by his wife returned.
Looking at his wife Mia sleeping on the floor all night, probably no longer warm, Ben followed the system prompts to heal his injuries.
Then he saw Ethan in the game take out the first-aid medicine he had picked up in the toilet from the four-dimensional pocket that every game protagonist must have, and unscrew the bottle cap.
'Swish...'
The liquid in the bottle was poured on his bloody hand, and then the blood stains were washed away and the wound actually healed.
"What the heck!?"
Looking at the healing operation, Ben was directly shocked.
If it was like the health recovery by breathing in Uncharted or Call of Duty, that would be fine.
But this healing method is a bit too much.
Does that make sense?
I think Ethan might have some big problems too!
Ben was directly shocked.
But I have to say that this hand-washing healing setting did dilute some of his original fear.
His SAN value inexplicably went up a lot again.
"Husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, flying away when disaster strikes. Mia, take care of yourself! Our relationship is over, let's divorce and go our separate ways." Ben looked at Mia on the ground, sighed a little, and then carefully moved his feet forward.
But the next moment, he saw Mia in the game suddenly bounce up in a strange posture, returning to her previous crazy state, grabbing Ethan's neck and slamming him hard against the wall.
'Crack crack...'
In a burst of wood breaking, Ethan was directly smashed through the wooden wall from the corridor and into the next room.
And Mia picked up the knife she had before and charged at Ben again.
"What's going on! Can't we talk properly? Can't we have a peaceful breakup in this legal society?" Looking at Mia in front of him, Ben suddenly thought of a news story he had seen a few years ago, saying that a medical student stabbed her cheating boyfriend more than twenty times, avoiding vital areas every time.
In terms of shock, there isn't as much excitement as being startled by a jump scare.
The key is the feeling of pressure!
Looking at Mia walking over with a knife, the pressure was unbelievable.
Ben controlled Ethan to retreat constantly, but at this moment, he saw that there was a fire axe next to him.
And at this time, Mia was already in front of him. Before he could think too much, panic and fear made him instinctively grab the fire axe on the ground and chop at Mia.
Clang!
Blood splattered, and Mia was directly staggered by the chop.
"I can fight back! I can hit people in this game!"
Finding that he could actually attack, Ben was overjoyed.
The weapon gave Ben enough confidence. A scene of marital harmony was staged in the small room. In the end, the husband's axe gently kissed the wife's neck.
And in the end, Mia seemed to return to normal, slowly falling to the ground with blood flowing from the wound.
"Mia...Mia..." Ben controlled Ethan to squat next to Mia.
Of course, he was not sad about killing his wife Mia, but because he found that the axe had become an unpickupable item.
After trying unsuccessfully, Ben had to accept this fact.
Looking back every few steps, afraid that his wife would come back to life, Ben came to the phone and answered it. A strange woman's voice rang out.
'You really shouldn't have come here.'
'There's a place in the attic to escape.'
After speaking, the phone was hung up directly.
Obviously, this was the game's guidance, but it could also be a bigger trap.
But there was no other way now. Ben cautiously returned to the room and took a look, and then he started sweating.
And at this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
The moment he turned around, Ben saw his wife Mia just passing by the door.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Swallowing, Ben moved his feet to the door and looked around, not seeing anyone.
After searching a bit, he used wire cutters to open the cabinet locked with an iron chain on the first floor and got a fuse.
Then, following the mysterious woman's instructions on the phone, he went to the second floor.
But just around the corner, Mia suddenly rushed out of the room.
At this time, Mia seemed to be in a normal state. She grabbed Ethan's hand with a face full of guilt: "Ethan...Ethan, I know you didn't mean to hurt me...I don't blame you!"
"Get away! Do you believe what you're saying? What are you hiding behind your back? Take it out!?" Ben controlled Ethan to retreat, because at this time, he had already noticed that Mia's one hand had been hiding behind her, as if grabbing something.
The moment the words fell, Mia directly performed a face-changing show, pinning Ethan to the wall and screaming with a pained face: "But it hurts so much! You shouldn't have done that!"
Then the hand hidden behind her took out a screwdriver and pinned it to Ethan's left hand on the wall.
Two screams rang out.
One was Ethan, and the other was Ben.
Because under the force feedback of the VR game pod, Ben just felt a jolt in his palm.
Combined with the realistic graphics of the game, Ben also felt a kind of phantom pain.
It's like when you, as a man, watch videos, especially those videos of ball-busting. After watching them, you will unconsciously tighten your legs. It's an instinctive human behavior.
But soon, in addition to this phantom pain, something even more serious happened.
That was that Ben found that he couldn't break free. His left hand was firmly nailed to the wall.
And in the dim light, Mia found a big treasure in the room.
'Da da da da da...Wum wum wum...'
The fighting of the motor and gears echoed in the narrow hallway.
In Mia's hand was a chainsaw that was spinning rapidly.
"Holy crap! What the heck is this!?"
Looking at the chainsaw in front of him, Ben completely forgot that he was playing a game. The fear brought by death made his heart beat faster and his face turn red.
The next second, in Ethan's screams in the game, Mia took the chainsaw and went towards him.
And at this time, Ethan in the game finally broke free from his left hand and instinctively raised his left hand to block.
But how can a hand block a chainsaw?
In Ethan's screams and flying flesh and blood, Ethan's left hand was directly cut off by the chainsaw from the wrist.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of my game pod!"
With a bit of crying, Ben directly exited and closed the game.
Surpass Zack in game time?
At this moment, he didn't want to anymore!
Divorce and break up, but you didn't ask me to physically break up!
