Chapter 20: The amazingness of breaking the fourth wall
What does it mean?
Does it know that I Reloaded?
It’s talking to me, isn’t it talking to the characters in the game?
Has everything he did been counted?
Wu Tian suddenly felt a creepy feeling and even subconsciously looked back at the empty office.
Obviously, the little flower in the game is not talking to the protagonist in the game.
Instead, it was a conversation with the player sitting in front of the computer.
It knows what he has done, and it even knows he starts over.
Although Wu Tian is very clear, this is the setting of the game.
But he was still shocked.
And what do the words in Xiaohua’s mouth mean?
Does it also possess this power?
What is determination?
While exploring the castle, he came across some charts shining like stars.
After going up to investigate, you will basically get one sentence at the end: it fills you with determination.
For a moment, he only felt that countless doubts appeared in his heart.
But there is more of a surprise.
After all, it was just an ordinary RPG game in the beginning.
But with the appearance of Xiaohua, it was like the fourth wall was broken.
What’s next?
With this mood, Wu Tian continued to advance.
One character after another full of features appeared in the game.
Shansi, who shook hands with him with a fart pad in his hand, and Papyris, who was keen to block him with puzzles, impressed him more with the pair of skeleton brothers.
Shansi, who looks very lazy, likes to make fun of his brother Papyris by telling some puns about skeletons.
And his brother is very keen to use the puzzle mechanism to block the protagonist.
The only interesting thing is that, if trapped by a puzzle, the skeleton will actively reveal the answer to the puzzle.
A Fishman, Andy, who seemed to have some middle grades, chased and killed him all the way. When he finally came to the lava map, it would fall to the ground due to lack of water, and there happened to be a water dispenser next to it. At this time, you can choose to save her or not.
In the laboratory, Dr. Ephesus looked a little dull and shy, just like a nerd.
When answering questions with the robot he made later, the doctor will also use his own hand to indicate the correct answer to the player.
And according to the answer to the last question of the robot, it can be known that she still likes the Fishman Andyin who is chasing the protagonist.
There is also the performance before the showdown with the robot under the moon, which is simply eye-popping.
But what really shocked Wu Tian was the conversation he had with Shansi in the splendid corridor before facing the final boss in the game.
From the very beginning, Wu Tian simply thought that the setting of “Under the Legend” was to apply the setting of general RPG games.
Although the appearance of Xiaohua before, made him feel shocked and amazed for the first time.
But in fact, he still plays the game according to the RPG gameplay.
Isn’t it normal to fight monsters and upgrade in RPG games?
Miss Spider, some of the monsters he encountered on the road were pleasing to the eye and were not killed, and some that were more troublesome and he did not think were pleasing to the eye, were all beheaded by him.
But now Shansi’s words made Wu Tian understand that he had completely misunderstood.
EXP is not the so-called experience value, but the abbreviation of executionpoints, and the translation of this word is execution points.
The same so-called LOVE is not the so-called level, but the abbreviation of Level of Violence, which translates to the violence index.
Every time he kills a monster in the game, the Execution Points and Violence Points will go up.
At this moment, his LV level has also reached level 11.
At this moment, Wu Tian also thought of what the mother sheep said at the beginning to be friends with monsters. Obviously, all kinds of hints have been made in the game from the beginning.
In the last battle, the BOSS king looked not evil but very friendly. Before the battle, he repeatedly asked himself if he was ready.
If he said he wasn’t ready, he would kindly say that he wasn’t ready either.
But after passing through the final gate and making sure you were ready, everything changed.
Exciting BGM resounded.
【A strange light illuminates the room】
[The light of dawn passes through the barrier]
【It seems that your journey has finally come to an end】
【You are now full of ‘determination’】
The narration subtitles slowly disappeared, and the king opened his eyes, accompanied by the words ‘goodbye to mankind’.
In an instant, like a God of war descending to earth, the scarlet cloak on his body was raised, and he waved the trident in his hand to smash the button with mercy written on it.
Smash your kindness, and my kindness, do not run away, this battle will end to death!
The difficulty of the last level is very high. Although Wu Tian has played some similar barrage evasion games, there are still dangers.
After finally successfully defeating the king, you can choose to kill or forgive him.
At this moment, Wu Tian thought of the words of Mother Yang and Shansi, and he chose to forgive.
In the face of the protagonist who forgave him, the king also seemed very surprised, and expressed his willingness to take care of him with the sheep mother, and everyone formed a new family in the underground world together. Everything seemed so warm and beautiful.
But the next moment, a sword light flashed, and with the shocked face of the king, Xiao Hua appeared.
It killed the king.
“You idiot, you still don’t have a long memory, in this world, you are either killed or killed”
Along with Xiaohua’s hideous laughter, Wu Tian’s eyes suddenly flashed back.
what’s the situation? BUG? Why is the game gone?
But it didn’t take long for Wu Tian to be confused, the next moment the game restarted automatically.
And the opening animation of the game has also become weird.
Entering the archive interface, what’s even weirder is that this archive is not his.
It reads Xiaohua, lv: 9999.
This is the archive of that little flower.
Choose to continue, the game’s own character appears, a dark background.
When you come to the save point representing the stars, your save information will appear in the game interface.
But the next moment suddenly the screen trembled, and blood-colored cracks spread from the archived information.
Finally, five words [archive deleted] are displayed above.
With the archive broken, Xiaohua reappeared on the screen.
The little flower that devoured the souls of six human children is now claiming to be a god.
But the image in the game is a weird and grotesque monster. This is the real final boss battle.
This battle is even more difficult than the previous battle with the king.
After death, a game over logo appears in the game, along with a line of subtitles.
[It’s all just a nightmare, and you’ll never wake up. 】
In addition to the subtitles, there was Xiaohua’s terrifying laughter, and the game screen was covered with ‘hahaha’ fonts, and then the game crashed again and automatically closed.
And after reopening the game, Xiaohua will continue to say some desperate words to her in front of the computer.
For example, [Do you think that I will only be satisfied if I kill you once? 】
[This world has no perfect ending at all. 】
And if you want to defeat Xiaohua, the only way is to persevere until you wake up other human souls swallowed by Xiaohua, and finally, make them lose the ability to extract archives so that this terrifying boss can be successfully defeated.
After successfully defeating Xiaohua, you can choose to kill Xiaohua or forgive it, but whether it is killed or forgiven, it is the same ending.
The only difference is that by forgiving the little flower, you will get the way to open the line of peace from its mouth.
With the final subtitles appearing, the game is officially over.
But Wu Tian in front of the computer had not completely recovered from the shock brought by the game.
Amazing, now he has only one feeling.
That is amazing.
Breaking the fourth wall, deleting your own archives, closing your own game, and setting up Xiaohua’s lines.
Even at the moment of the game, Wu Tian felt that there really was such an underground world, and there really were characters like Xiaohua.
And after this surprise, there is more curiosity.
In the splendid corridor, talking to Shansi has already learned everything.
The original so-called LOVE is the violence index, and EXP is the execution point.
So what about the other two endings in the game?
