“””Ah, I know! He must have used this stone to kill the monster. Yes, that’s it. “””
“Lin Xue picked up the stone from the ground and sneaked to the monster’s side. Then, she directly threw it at the monster’s head!”
“””Pa da!”””
Xue Lin’s throw wasn’t very accurate. The rock flew past the monster’s head and hit the ground in the distance with a crisp sound.
The monster that looked like a baby immediately let out an ear-piercing scream and ran towards the place where the stone was!
“Lin Xue was stunned for two seconds. So this was how stones were used? Cough, cough, almost …”””
“Xue Lin was scared. She thought she was going to hit the monster with a rock. If she had hit it, she would have died …”
“Fortunately, the rock had lured the monster away. Xue Lin quickly continued to walk forward.”
“After learning the correct way to play the game, Lin Xue’s progress was much faster. However, the process was still scary.”
“Simply put, the way to play this game was to let the player use sound waves to explore the way. They would turn around in a dark environment, avoid the forks, open all kinds of traps, and walk out of the level.”
“In the level, there would be many terrifying monsters. These monsters were of different types, but they all had one thing in common they would determine the location of the player based on the sound.”
“Every time the players walked, waded, or patted their hands to explore the way, these monsters would scream and rush over, giving the players a great deal of psychological pressure.”
“At this time, the players needed to use some special methods, such as throwing stones to lure these monsters away, and then take the opportunity to open the mechanism to escape.”
“There was no future in fighting head-on, and a few lives would not be enough …”
“There were two kinds of scenes in the game. One was the real world, such as the main character’s home, office, orphanage, etc. These scenes were made with real pictures and models. There were no monsters and no echoes to explore the way, but there were some mobile phone elements.”
“For example, the newspaper of that year, the orphanage’s brochure, and the wife’s letter to the main character. These were all to collect elements and hint to the players about the game’s plot background.”
“Through these scattered elements, the players could roughly guess the identity and background of the male protagonist.”
“The other scene was the one where echo explored the way, such as the absolutely dark cave.”
“This kind of scene was often cramped and narrow, and there was absolutely no light source. One could only see everything around them through the Echo.”
“These scenes were filled with all kinds of monsters, and the players had to move forward in fear. They had to use their voices to battle with these monsters and then enter the next scene.”
“These two scenes constantly alternated, making the players nervous and relaxed at times. Under such a rhythm of tension and relaxation, the players could clench their teeth and continue playing while being extremely tense.”
“””This game sure knows how to take things one step at a time. Every time, I want to quit immediately, but in the end, I still ended up here …”””
“””Wait a minute, I’ll throw a rock to Scout the way … Hmm? This monster is invisible!”””
Xue Lin threw out a stone and saw a red shadow teleport to the place where the stone was and then disappear!
“Obviously, as the levels progressed, the difficulty of the game also increased.”
“The new monster was invisible, which meant that one could only see its afterimage for a moment when it was moving. Normally, one would not be able to see where it was.”
“Furthermore, the level of difficulty had also increased. Not only did Lin Xue have to constantly avoid the monsters, but she also had to open all kinds of complicated mechanisms.”
“Most of these mechanisms were valves or gates, and every time they were opened, they would make a harsh sound and attract the monsters.”
“Therefore, Lin Xue could only throw rocks to lure the monsters away in advance and calculate the distance before she dared to activate the traps.”
What was even more annoying was that throwing a rock to lure the monster away was also very risky.
“The further they went, the more sensitive the hearing of the monsters became. Even the sound of ordinary footsteps would attract them.”
“Xue Lin could only walk quietly or squat, slowly moving forward, not daring to make any sound.”
“They could only determine their surroundings through the sound of water droplets and the screams of monsters. Most of the time, they were just throwing stones blindly.”
“If he wasn’t careful, he might throw the stone at the wall in front of him and it would bounce back. He would be dead …”
“Under such continuous mental torture, Xue Lin actually persevered and played all the way. Even she herself was shocked.”
“As the levels progressed, Lin Xue began to obtain more clues.”
“The male protagonist had once tried to adopt a child, but for some reason, he had failed.”
“The company’s leader had once written to the male lead, asking him why he had been so absent-minded recently and why he had been given a long holiday to adjust his mood.”
“It seemed that there had been a major change in the male protagonist’s family, and after the holiday, the male protagonist had performed well, so the company considered promoting him to the position of chief designer.”
“At the same time, Xue Lin also found a large number of drugs to treat depression in the male protagonist’s home. These drugs had actually been banned in the early 1990s, because excessive use could cause suicide.”
“In the end, after the torture of a long journey, in the distorted and terrifying memory, the protagonist experienced the past with his wife again and finally came to a rooftop.”
“On the rooftop, the protagonist’s wife jumped down and left him forever.”
“At that moment, Xue Lin’s vision turned blue. A certain program was being restarted and a dialog box popped up.”

“At this point, Xue Lin finally understood that this was all just a virtual world.”
“The male protagonist and his wife were about to have a cute baby after marriage. They had even started preparing for pregnancy, but they miscarried due to an accident. They wanted to adopt a child, but they failed in the end. The wife committed suicide by jumping off a building because of depression, leaving the male protagonist to lock himself in this nightmare forever.”
Xue Lin chose not to restart.
“This time, the male protagonist woke up in a room full of servers, with a virtual reality device behind him.”
“This was his home, but it was fully occupied by servers.”
“Only the baby cot in the corner was left, which reminded her of the warm and happy home.”
“After the death of his wife, the male lead worked hard to earn a lot of money. He bought many servers and virtual reality equipment, creating an illusory dream for himself so that he could return to his happiest time.”
“However, this dream was not a happy one, because the guilt in the male protagonist’s heart did not let him go. His dream also became a terrible nightmare.”
“After several decades, the male lead finally walked out of this endless nightmare for the first time.”
“However, just when Xue Lin thought that the male protagonist had let go of everything and accepted his wife’s death, he pushed the door open and walked out.”
“””Wait for me … I’m coming for you …”” He said.”
