Chapter 851 The fear of a psychological cue

Translator 549690339

“Old P had always thought that he had a good mental fortitude, but after playing this game, he realized that he might have been wrong … ”

“Her heart was beating fast, her hands and feet were cold, and she was sweating profusely. Her entire body was trembling uncontrollably … ”

Old P couldn’t even muster the courage to walk into the fog of the town again.

He subconsciously looked at the system time. Only 25 minutes had passed since he started playing.

“Moreover, this was the first 25 minutes of the game! ”

“There was only one monster and a simple battle. As a horror game, there was not even a scary scene. ”

“For example, there were many games where players would kill at the door, turn around, scream, and kill. ”

“Of course, it was possible that there would be more in the future, but old P had not encountered them yet. ”

“Strictly speaking, ever since old P entered the game, all he had done was run in the fog, from the entrance to the mountain road, to the cemetery, and then to the town … ”

“However, it was this monotonous environment that gave old P a lot of psychological pressure. ”

“This was a very clever psychological hint. An abandoned town, a fog that never saw the sky, and a deathly silent environment … All these factors repeatedly stung old P’s nerves. ”

“This method was completely different from the horror of “”opening the door to kill””. In those horror games, horror was like a sharp knife that could suddenly stab you at any time, making you scream in fear. However, Silent Hill was like a blunt knife cutting through flesh. It was always challenging one’s tolerance threshold step by step. ”

“On the surface, a white fog was much better than darkness and blood. It was nothing more than running and collecting things in the fog, not so dangerous. ”

“However, once a player stayed in this environment for 10 to 20 minutes, the psychological pressure would rise sharply. This kind of unexplainable pressure would even make it difficult for the player to move. They would only want to kneel down, find a corner, and tremble. ”

Old P decisively chose to quit the game.

“””That’s all for today, I’m not playing anymore, I’m really going to die if I keep playing. Hurry up and talk to me. Send a bullet screen to calm me down. Hurry up, I’m afraid I’ll die in the game cabin. “” ”

“Old P returned to the login scene in the game cabin and looked at Assassin’s Creed With the theme of Alexandria Port in origin, looking at the hard-working Egyptians and the sunset at the mouth of the Nile River, his mood finally began to calm down. ”

“Looking at the bullet screen again, old P realized that the audience’s situation was not much better than his. ”

“””F * ck, I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it anymore. I’m defeated. I can’t take it anymore!”” ”

“””It’s too depressing, I can’t take it anymore!”” ”

“””Requesting for high-energy bullet screen Lord’s protection!”” ”

[I’m not watching anymore. I’ll watch it when PUBG is broadcast!]

“””I can’t sleep this late at night. I … I’m going to see an X-ray to ease my pain …”” ”

“Although the audience had been urging him to broadcast Silent Hill, it had only been 20 minutes, and the players had already died. ”

Although the audience was basically watching on their PC and mobile phones … It was past 12 o’ clock at night.

“Many people were lying in bed with the lights off, watching old P’s livestream on their mobile screens. Some people were even wearing headphones. ”

“In such an environment, the fear and pressure they felt were slightly weaker than old P’s in the game cabin, but not by much. Even with the bullet comments protecting them, the game’s oppressive environment and atmosphere would continue to erode the players ‘nerves. ”

Old P looked at the number of viewers.

“Since zou Zhuo and Lin Xue had not started streaming yet, old P had more than 5 million viewers when he first started streaming. But now, there were only 3 million viewers left … ”

“The viewers had encouraged old P to livestream Silent Hill to scare him, but they had successfully scared themselves … ”

“Old P really wanted to delete Silent Hill from his game cabin right now and never touch the game again, but seeing that many viewers were still saying “”continue to broadcast Silent Hill,”” old P could only sigh.””That … We’ll continue tomorrow. Tomorrow … I’ll stop today. My sanity value is almost gone. I really can’t hold on any longer. If I continue, I’ll have to call you to collect my body …”” ”

……

Old P wasn’t the only one who bought Silent Hill and started playing after midnight.

“Soon, the Thunderbolt gaming platform’s discussion forum was flooded with players who peed their pants in fear. ”

“””F * ck! This was a F * cking horror game! A horror game! High energy Alert, don’t play!”” ”

“””He quit after playing for five minutes. I really can’t continue!”” ”

“””Who said that this game is similar to Dark Souls? If you come out, I promise I won’t beat you to death!”” ”

“””F * ck, this game reminds me of Chen Mo’s outlast!”” ”

“””This game can compete with outlast! No, I think the atmosphere is even more depressing than outlast!”” ”

“””Yeah, it’s so strange. We’ve been running in the fog for the first ten minutes of the game, and we didn’t even encounter a single monster. Why do I feel like it’s even scarier than outlast??”” ”

“””Chen Mo is too evil! This game can last for two hours? fnndp!!” ”

“””Two hundred Yuan for two hours? What a F * cking loss! You want to buy my life with just 200 yuan?”” ”

“””How can this game last for two hours? Old P only played for less than half an hour and he’s already dead, what’s the concept of two hours?”” ”

“The players who were tricked by Silent Hill were all complaining. They were there to take advantage of Chen Mo, but they ended up being tricked by him! ”

“Many players thought that they could just stand still and enjoy the scenery like in Dark Souls and fill up the time. After all, there was a reward for two hours and six hours, which was to watch the scenery in the VR pod and chat with friends. ”

“However, when he entered the game, he realized that he was not doing anything. ”

The first scene of the game was an abandoned public toilet with a tap that was dripping water.

“Going back, there were mountain paths, cemeteries, strange towns, thick fog with visibility of only two to three meters, wind sounds, and strange background music. In such an environment, even if you were to go AFK, your sanity value would also drop drastically! ”

“Many old players naturally thought of Chen Mo’s previous game outlast, but outlast and Silent Hill were two completely different types of horror. ”

“The horror of outlast was very direct. It was a dark environment, the sudden appearance of monsters, and the fear of not being able to fight and only being able to run. ”

“However, Silent Hill was different, especially in the beginning. There was no darkness, no monsters, and the main character was very strong, but the players were also depressed and desperate! ”

“This kind of terror was more of a mental terror. Just like a magic attack, it ignored armor and penetrated deep into the bone. ”

“Many players even thought that at the beginning of Silent Hill, the bright daytime scene was already so scary … ”

Then what would it be like in the end?
