His daughter shook his hand and said, "Daddy, shall we go home?"
Then the screen went black, and an achievement appeared in the bottom right corner.
【ng: to go home.】
Zhou Liye: "?????????"
He first returned to the game's main menu, then checked the live chat, and sure enough, the viewers were reacting intensely:
This is definitely not the real ending!!!
Have you noticed? All of these random faces have appeared in the game before! They're all there!
[The daughter was wheeled out, but the main character hadn't left yet. Why was a section cut off in the middle?]
[Given the cult leader's habits, there must be something fishy going on here!]
Urged by the audience, Zhou Liye decisively resumed her live stream the next day.
This time, he promised everyone that he would experience the story more deeply, uncover hidden elements, and ideally achieve the true ending.
Strangely, the opening scene in the second playthrough also changed:
The first-person protagonist regained consciousness after a bout of dizziness.
He found himself standing in a small, pure white room, with a tattered rag doll in the corner.
The rag doll made a mocking sound:
Do you really know who you are?
Do you know what you're doing?
Do you know what you've done?
Zhou Liye cried, "Brother, I was wrong! I just stomped on the plush toy a few times after I got the prize..."
This time when I started the game, not a single monster spawned in front of me; I killed them immediately upon encountering them.
Zhou Liye went to the usual place and picked up his youngest daughter.
His daughter still obediently followed behind him, like a little quail.
Zhou Liye knew exactly where the exciting moments were this time, and he made thorough preparations beforehand. He even deliberately turned on the live chat to let the audience help him find clues.
—As a streamer, this is all standard practice and definitely not cheating!
The first level is a commercial street, the second level is an amusement park, the third level is a school, and the fourth level is a villa and a sewer.
This time, Zhou Liye searched every possible corner and actually found some strange things.
For example, several newspaper reports said that a house caught fire and a family of three were in critical condition and were being treated in the hospital—the newspapers were all dated the same day in 1999, but all the calendars in the game had already turned to 2019.
For example, there were several strange medical records and several pages torn from the medical record book, which seemed to say that the patient suffered from severe PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), even to the point of hallucinations.
There are also some strange suspicious points, such as a psychological treatment center standing in the commercial street, and an inaccessible prison opposite the school...
The same policewoman's voice could be heard on all the phones, but she couldn't hear anything the protagonist said. She would just repeat the same line, "Is anyone there?", and then hang up.
Attentive viewers also noticed some hidden details.
If the protagonist pushes open any door and holds it ajar for ten seconds, an eye will appear to peek inside. However, if the door is fully opened, the eye will disappear.
Some of the monsters on the street won't attack on their own; they'll only patrol passively. Others, however, will pounce on you—the protagonist will be instantly killed if he gets touched by a monster.
Apart from the daughter, there are no normal, healthy people in this game; all the people and monsters have terrifying burn marks on their bodies.
The audience's comments were flooding in, with everyone having different guesses.
After leaving the villa in the fourth act, Zhou Liye could have taken his youngest daughter and avoided the sewers, choosing instead the locations from the previous acts.
Zhou Liye simply initiated a vote, letting them decide for themselves what to do.
The audience ultimately voted for "Psychotherapy Center"!
The reason is simple: they are most familiar with the words "treatment center" and all guess that it is the most important place besides the villa.
Zhou Liye brought her youngest daughter into the treatment center, but unexpectedly, she was blinded by a bright white light as soon as she entered.
After the plot was triggered, the protagonist immediately closed his eyes and asked nervously, "Junjun, where are you?"
The daughter cried out, "Daddy! Protect my daddy!"
The sound of someone pounding on the door came from the front door, as if it were a monster with immense strength trying to break in.
The story ends, and Zhou Liye regains control.
But he could barely open his eyes and saw the monster's lower body hovering in front of the roller shutter door, which was about to be smashed.
This is the final boss battle to cover the daughter's escape.
Zhou Liye had to make good use of her limited vision and blink every few seconds.
After the boss broke down the door, he went straight for his daughter. Zhou Liye was so nervous that she simply stepped forward and took the first hit herself, shouting, "Junjun, run!"
"Daddy!" the daughter cried.
From the door behind, a woman's gentle voice came:
