Weird Regulator

The game console was not plugged in, but there was already a signal on the screen.

The screen was filled with black, and a line of white light flashed from the middle position, and finally spread from top to bottom.

Like a curtain being opened backwards, a strange scene finally appeared.

On this small screen, Ji Li saw a particularly familiar room.

In this small apartment of less than 30 square meters, the ceiling is very low, which makes people feel breathless and oppressive.

The decoration is in an old-fashioned style, with rustic dark green paint covering the walls. Many of the wall coverings have peeled off, revealing their true gray color.

Luggage, furniture, and small items make the already small room look even more crowded.

This is Ruru's home.

The scene didn't change, and the theme didn't change either, but this time Ji Li noticed the difference at first glance.

Because this house looks cleaner than last time.

For example, the cracks on the wall have been covered up with dark green wallpaper.

Furthermore, the shoe rack at the door is no longer the open type, but a sliding door type.

The most commonly used pairs of women's sneakers, one large and one small, are still there, but there is an additional pair of men's leather shoes.

The biggest change is the wooden board above the entrance.

There used to be a portrait of Ruru's father, and it was an overexposed photo.

But this time it was completely different.

Just like what Ji Li saw in the preview nightmare, there was a normal photo.

Ordinary man, ordinary portrait.

It can be said that although the room is still this room, it has more smoke and smoke and traces of life.

The only doubt is the replacement of the portrait.

This is the first scene of the game. Ji Li subconsciously took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

But before he could take out his cigarette, the game console in front of him suddenly started buzzing as if something had malfunctioned.

Ji Li stood up and was about to go behind the game console to check, but he didn't move yet.

The world in front of him began to become hazy, and a thin mist seemed to appear in this room dominated by green and supplemented by colors.

His vision gradually turned into illusion, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a veil.

This sudden change caught Ji Li off guard. When he took a step back, he found that the field he was in had suddenly changed.

That playroom is gone forever.

When he took a step back, his calf hit something hard and made a "crunch" sound.

Ji Li turned around and saw an old wooden stool.

The floor where the wooden stool is located is no longer the colorful floral tiles of the game room, but a white floor tile with black spots.

Ji Li took a deep breath, raised his head and looked around blankly.

But he was surprised to find that he had left the game room and entered Ruru's home!

The environment he is currently in is right at the doorstep of his home.

The small wooden bench is also next to the shoe rack, for sitting and changing shoes.

Ji Li found that he was still holding the cigarette case and lighter in his hands. He cautiously took a step forward and crossed the portrait.

The hard floor tiles, the aroma of food filling the space, and the breeze coming from the window.

Everything is so real and cannot be faked.

This feeling made Ji Li very stunned.

Because he has obviously been pulled into the screen displayed on the game console.

In other words, he is now a real person in the game world.

This situation was once what he had envisioned in advance for the game mode.

But the rules narrated by the "female voice" clearly indicate that he should act as a simple game controller.

what on earth is it?

…

"Ruru, try the chicken wings made by mom. This is your favorite."

"Thank you, Mom! Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, why did we cook so many dishes today?"

"Silly boy, Dad, I paid a bonus today, so of course I want to treat the whole family to something good."

"Not only that, mom has found a new job, so today is a double blessing!"

…

Ji Li's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the kitchen.

That's where the aroma came from, and that's where the conversation just came from.

It is not difficult to tell from these words that there are three people eating in the kitchen at the moment.

Ruru, Ruru’s mother, Ruru’s father.

This is a family of three with average economic conditions, having a simple and happy conversation at the dinner table.

But that's not right...

Ji Li frowned and turned back, looking dimly at the altar table above his head.

Ruru’s father has been dead for a long time.

"Could it be that the scenes in the game are from the past timeline?"

He stopped staying and walked towards the kitchen, quietly opening the ajar green wooden door.

At the end of the kitchen, which is even narrower, even a single person has to pass sideways.

Ji Li saw a simple wooden table placed on the balcony.

As he saw, a family of three were sitting around the table, eating and chatting with warm smiles on their faces.

From this position at the door, he could just see the faces of Ruru and Ruru's mother.

Of course, the other party can also see him.

But it was obvious that Ji Li's existence had been erased. The two men had glanced at him several times, but there was nothing unusual.

Knowing this, Ji Li boldly pushed the door open and entered.

Because he wanted to see if Ruru's father, who had died long ago, was the person in the portrait.

…

"Ruru, try the chicken wings made by mom. This is your favorite."

"Thank you, Mom! Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, why did we cook so many dishes today?"

"Silly boy, dad, today I..."

…

Just as Ji Li approached, the three people spoke again.

But what he said was exactly the same as what he heard a few minutes ago.

Ji Li frowned and carefully observed every move of Ruru and Ruru's mother, and found that their speech was very lively and natural.

There is no sense of lag or repetition at all.

"It's just a scene in the game, a cog stuck in a machine that keeps looping."

Ji Li thought about it and figured out that everything "fresh" he saw was actually a "script" designed in advance.

These actors are constantly performing this sequence in a loop.

After realizing this, he no longer had any scruples and rushed forward in a few steps.

When he passed Ruru's father's position, he finally saw the man's appearance clearly, but he took a breath again.

Because Ruru’s father’s face turned out to be blank.

There are no facial features, no expression, just like a blank piece of paper on which no details have been drawn on the face.

The strange thing is that with his blank face, he kept looking back left and right, as if scanning his wife and children across from him.

"Dad, I'm giving out a bonus, and of course I want to treat the whole family to a nice meal."

He was probably saying everything with a smile, and you could tell from his tone that there was definitely a happy expression on his face.

But unfortunately, he has no face at all!

"Dingle bell! Dingle!"

Ji Li's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a noisy alarm. He subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance through the wall.

There is Ruru's bedroom.

The same scene happened again.

In the preview nightmare, he saw Ruru, who also had a blank face and was playing a handheld game console.

On her desk, there is an alarm clock with a human head, using a human voice to simulate the sound of the alarm clock.

This time, it's exactly the same.

Ji Li ran out of the kitchen quickly, and the conversation between the family of three in his ears gradually became fainter, but it always circulated.

He opened the bedroom door curtain, carefully held it in his hand and observed it.

The beads on the curtain still have their normal appearance, and there is no weird situation where they turned into human eyes in the nightmare.

But the human head alarm clock actually appeared on the desk.

It is opening its mouth wide, constantly simulating sounds, using the two ends of the broken section to keep beating.

It seems that it is really just an alarm clock, albeit with a special shape.

Ji Li looked around the bedroom, but didn't see anything special.

Apparently, it's all about the alarm clock chiming.

The conversation between the family of three next to them is still looping, as if it has become the background sound.

Noise, confusion, depression and horror enveloped the entire house.

Ji Li slowly came closer, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his palm and touched the head alarm clock.

But just when his fingers were about to touch the hair of the human head.

His hand stopped, and all sounds disappeared, as if the world had been suspended.

In front of Ji Li's eyes, five lines of bloody font appeared out of thin air, polluting the entire sight.

For the first time, the choice came.

…

A: Press the alarm clock to stop it from making noise and continue to observe the room;

B: Take it away directly and continue to observe the room;

C: Ignore it and continue to observe the room;

D: Smash the alarm clock and burn it;

Please choose carefully, this choice will affect the overall direction of the plot! ! !
