Chapter 272： Meaningful (three more)

Zhao Lei took a look at the time, from the time he started the game to the customs clearance, only less than 10 minutes.

This also includes the time he spent tumbling around and meaningless clicks.

Moreover, the operation of this game is very simple, there is no battle, no monsters, only need to move and click the two operations.

Combine the various options in this game, obviously, this should be a puzzle game.

In other words, its fun should be to explore different branches and make different endings.

After thinking about this, Zhao Lei has a bottom in mind and knows what he should do next.

He should try different options.

......

The game starts again.

Follow the prompts, Stanley should go out of the office and go to the meeting room to find his colleagues. But Zhao Lei suddenly thought, if not going out? If you close the door?

He clicked on the door of the office and the door closed.

[Stanley can't afford this pressure. What if he has to make a choice? What if he messes up within his or her duties? No, this will not have a good result. 】

[The thing to do now is to wait, Stanley thinks. Nothing can hurt me, here I am very happy, always happy...]

Zhao Lei is forced, what a ghost?

I am locked in the house?

He walked around and clicked on the door to go out, but to no avail. And he also found a very strange thing, the clock that was hanging on the wall and moving, also began to move, as if reminding Stanley time is passing by little by little.

[Stanley knows that it will soon be over, someone will talk to him, someone will ask him to do something, he will come...]

The narration came to an abrupt end, no picture, Zhao Lei could not imagine what happened to Stanley.

The game is over, and this is also an ending.

Zhao Lei realized that the two endings he played were relatively simple, but they were meaningful.

Like the name of this game, "Stanley's Fables", the fable itself is a metaphorical story that entails meaningful meaning and gives people a revelation.

Obviously, if the player has been following the instructions of the narration, it only takes a few minutes to play a "free ending" that looks good, but Zhao Lei is very suspicious. It is not so much a "free ending". This is a "deceitful ending," because Stanley only acted in the words of narration, and did not explore the deeper mysteries of the world.

What do these two endings represent?

Because of the weak self-enclosure, it is ruined in silence?

Or, follow a clear guide, complete a journey, and then achieve self-deception?

Zhao Lei thinks this game is very interesting and starts to try different branch routes.

The game starts again.

This time, Zhao Lei thought of the button in the power control room.

When the mental control device is turned off, there are two buttons in front of him, [OFF] and [ON]. What if he chooses to open?

This time, Zhao Lei has become more familiar with the road, and quickly followed the guidance of the narration to the final power control room.

[Stanley decided to let this machine no longer control the lives of others, because he will completely eliminate these controls. 】

Although the madness hinted that he would turn off the machine, Zhao Lei still pressed [ON].

[Oh, Stanley, shouldn't you open this console? After they have enslaved you for so many years, you want to control the machine yourself. Is this what you want? Control? 】

The big screen in front of it became red, and it showed: [Loading the mental control system...], the background music also became tense.

[Stanley, I praise your efforts, but you have to understand that the things that this machine can do are limited. You should learn to let go, turn off the control system, and then leave. If you want my story to deviate from the right track, then you still need to work harder. 】

[I believe you will be interested in this matter:]

[Stanley suddenly realized that he had just started the self-destruct system of the emergency network. If the machine was started without specific DNA identification, the nuclear bomb would detonate and blow up the entire facility. 】

[So, when is it detonated? Well, I think about it. Two minutes! 】

[Now this story has become interesting, right? Now is the time for you to debut, please do whatever you want, but unfortunately, you don't have much time to enjoy it! 】

Zhao Lei was forced, and there was a feeling of being completely played by the narration.

He manipulated Stanley to look around the entire facility. There were a lot of actionable buttons on the outside. He clicked, but it didn't work, and he couldn't stop counting down.

Even as he walked toward some of the doors that could escape, the door closed automatically.

If you follow the general game, there will be a way to break the game, but Zhao Lei is extremely skeptical. Although there are a lot of buttons and switches in the room, no matter what can be done, it can't stop the nuclear bomb explosion. All the attempts are futile.

The narration is still going on.

[What, you want to know where your colleagues are going? Ok, look at my good mood and tell you. 】

[I eliminated them, I closed the machine, I gave you freedom. Of course, limited to this story, sometimes I just let you sit in the office forever, press the button alone, and die. 】

[A few times, I let the office go underground, engulf all the people inside, or burn the office. 】

Zhao Lei did not pay attention to the narration. He was still wandering around the house, looking for a button to solve the current situation.

But then the words of the narration made Zhao Lei startled.

[Oh, Stanley, what are you doing? Do you think there are any buttons in this room that can turn off this countdown? 】

[Look at yourself, run around between the screen and the screen, press and press on the things in this room, you must be thinking, these are the buttons with numbers! No, these are the buttons of different colors! Or this big red button! There must be something here to save me! 】

[Why, Stanley? Do you think any problems in this game can be solved? 】

[No, you are still alive just because I want to see how you are powerless and downcast. This is not a challenge. It is a tragedy. 】

The countdown ends.

With a loud explosion, everything was quiet.

Zhao Lei was shocked. Obviously, this is also an ending, but the ending gave him a more unexpected feeling.

The most special point is that this narration is like ridiculing the player's behavior, just like talking to the player through the screen.

Obviously, all of this must have been designed by Chen Mo, but Zhao Lei still has a feeling of interacting with the narration.

Moreover, the narration also implies the fact that the narration has absolute control over the game. He can freely rewrite the whole story and control Stanley's life and death at will, and it all depends on his mood.

Realizing this, Zhao Lei suddenly had a strong interest in the game, and he couldn't wait to find more endings.
