Bab 124: Chapter 124: Mr. Otto Really Wants to Play Games

In horror games, the vast majority tend to give newcomers a tough initiation.

Even Welt's experience was no exception.

Sebastian arrived at the mental hospital in a daze, only to be knocked unconscious by a hooded man with superpowers.

He woke up to find himself hanging like a pig in what seemed like a slaughterhouse. However, instead of animals, it was humans being slaughtered.

Welt guided Sebastian through the eerie atmosphere, set to classical music, and helped him find a dagger stuck in a nearby corpse.

With the music masking his movements, Sebastian managed to cut the ropes binding his feet with the dagger.

The tension escalated with the next task: to sneak up on the killer and snatch the key to escape without alerting him.

"Okay, when we were hanging upside down earlier, we saw a close-up of the monster's face. We noticed that its left eye is blind, creating a blind spot on its left side. If Haxxor Bunny has paid attention to such details..."

Welt whispered as he cautiously approached the killer from behind. Suddenly, the killer planted his cleaver into the meat and headed to the adjacent room, giving Welt an opportunity. He swiftly grabbed the key and bolted.

"Phew, the horror atmosphere is spot on. Just getting a key is terrifying..."

Welt breathed a sigh of relief, but accidentally triggered a tripwire trap as he attempted to leave the slaughterhouse.

The alarm blared, and the killer approached with a chainsaw.

What followed was a tense chase, with the killer injuring Sebastian's right leg.

Despite the near-disability, Sebastian managed to flee desperately.

However, instead of immediately catching up, the killer activated various bizarre traps, seemingly enjoying torturing Sebastian.

Amidst the frantic escape, Sebastian failed to notice the world's peculiarities, much like a dreamer often doesn't realize they're dreaming.

After countless hardships, Sebastian finally escaped the mental hospital. His leg injury miraculously healed, but outside, the world was collapsing like doomsday.

Fortunately, Sebastian's driver, who had come to rescue the hospital staff and patients, picked him up just in time.

As they fled along the highway, the city began to crumble, yet no one seemed to grasp the world's oddities amidst the chaos.

In a dream, perhaps nothing happens upon death.

But in this world, death is permanent.

As the ambulance raced through a tunnel, they reached a cliff at the end.

Thus, the first chapter concluded with the ambulance crashing off the cliff.

"Our previous speculation seems to be correct. The driver turned into something strange, and this world is likely a dream. Sebastian hasn't realized the truth yet, too preoccupied with survival," Welt analyzed.

Can dreams connect everyone's consciousness?

The chaos of this world, from the sadistic killer to the sudden transformation of the driver, seemed to foreshadow something.

Even Otto couldn't help but itch to play the game.

The game was well-crafted, with its terrifying atmosphere and twisted acts set to classical music creating an indescribable horror.

Hearing Welt's analysis, Otto couldn't help but start to speculate.

"Sorry, Amber, I'll make it up to you later," Otto said as he clicked to download the game.

As for Bianka's exploration of the Sea of Quanta?

All Otto could do was record data and provide a precise beacon for their return when they were ready.

Only, it had been so long, and there hadn't been much response from Gnius.

Otto couldn't help but worry about Bianka. Perhaps he should ask Haxxor Bunny to help search for them in the Sea of Quanta?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Otto hesitated again.

How should Otto put it... he's not sure what kind of price he'll have to pay.

Every time Haxxor Bunny sets a clear price, there's a deeper meaning behind it for her plans.

Even the Aeon of Elation is interested in her, and the concept it represents can't be ignored by Otto.

Should he make contact?

Forget it, let's just play the game. Maybe Haxxor Bunny's assessment of Bianka is just because Bianka hasn't spent enough time in the Sea of Quanta!

Then Otto looked at the game that had already been downloaded and clicked to start playing.

...

"Bronya believes there's no problem with resource allocation, but she's concerned about this safehouse."

"Why's that?"

"Bronya just realized that sometimes, when facing a boss, it's best to run away. No matter how much firepower you have, it's not enough."

Bronie's efficiency in making games is so high that even Bronya who is watching on the side hasn't caught up yet, and many things have already been set.

So Bronya doesn't know much about the content of the game or the flow of levels.

When she actually experienced this game, Bronya was quite scared.

The urgency brought by the boss, the horror atmosphere created by the game, and then the tranquility of Debussy's Clair de Lune.

It's the narration, like squeezing toothpaste, gradually revealing the truth, often in the form of newspaper reports.

If you're playing for the first time, it's not easy to figure out the whole game.

And even Sebastian's own story is revealed bit by bit as the game progresses.

These collectibles aren't hidden deep, but not all players can collect them all.

So it will rely on other streamers to organize these plots, just like Elden Ring and Bloodborne.

"Yeah, all fear stems from insufficient firepower, but when I give you firepower and find it's still insufficient, should you be afraid?"

With Bronie's question, Bronya nodded repeatedly.

"It's because I found that my firepower was insufficient that I was afraid. Sis Bronie really understands this!"

"That's why even though the bullets given in the map are scarce, by the late game, bullets are endless. It's just that some special mechanisms of the boss temporarily render the firepower in your hands ineffective."

"So that's the more frightening part."

Originally holding a gun, acting all high and mighty.

But as soon as you encounter a boss, you're instantly brought back to reality.

No one can accept the despair of suddenly losing firepower!

No one!

Not even Bronie can escape this!

At this moment, Bronya and Bronie's thoughts converged, and they looked at each other tacitly before bursting into laughter.

"Bronya has learned a lot about making games and is very happy."

"Well... then the DLC for Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Evil Within 2 will be up to you?"

Bronya's laughter abruptly stopped.

"Sister Bronie, you'll definitely give me the proposal, right?"

Bronie just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Are you sure you'll give it to me?"

Bronya wanted to confirm again.

But still no conclusion.

Now she is starting to feel a bit anxious.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm just teasing you. It's totally possible to make proposals and settings."

The subsequent production of excellent works can indeed be more mentally stressful, and Bronya is still young. She is not yet ready to bear these burdens.

Elden Ring and Bloodborne are definitely no problem, as for Evil Within 2, it depends on whether there are still classic works of such layers of horror in this world.

If not, maybe it can still garner a lot of good reviews.

As for not being able to garner good reviews?

Well, then just fall from grace.

Bronie doesn't care too much about these things like being hailed as the Renowned Game Devoloper of the Year, after all, not everyone likes Pokemon or Splatoon.

Just get used to it.

...

Overall, the plot of the entire Evil Within game is relatively simple.

Sebastian, as a police officer, was captured by an organization called Mobius for experimentation.

And this experiment was a consciousness synchronization system built around Ruvik's brain.

Ruvik wanted to regain his physical body, so when he discovered that the brain of a mental patient was suitable to become his vessel, the consciousness synchronization system completely malfunctioned.

After all, these systems were all based on Ruvik's brain, so Ruvik himself was the administrator of the entire system, just lurking and waiting for Mobius to send a suitable experimental subject, one that could bear his consciousness and allow him to revive again.

Later, Ruvik found one, so he began to turn against Mobius. Mobius noticed the problem with the system, so they sent more people in to solve the problem, as they didn't want to abandon this experimental result.

Sebastian was sent into the system in a daze, and with firm determination, defeated Ruvik.

Facing Amber's complex gaze, Otto savored the entire process of the game with mixed feelings.

There's no need to say much about the plot, it's too simple, but the overall experience gained is quite good.

Especially with the infinite rocket launcher at the end, providing a release for pent-up frustration, and it can even be kept for use in the second playthrough, it's indeed a very good design.

But after tossing and turning, Otto couldn't find any useful information, and that so-called STEM system, the consciousness-sharing synchronization system, had major flaws from the beginning. These flaws, to be honest, were not a problem for Otto, for Elysian Realm, or even for Haxxor Bunny.

So Otto was very puzzled.

"Amber, listen to me."

"Well, does the Bishop breaking his own promise mean something very important, right?"

"This consciousness synchronization thing, I suspect Haxxor Bunny is playing a big game, so I need to delve deeper into the game to understand Haxxor Bunny's thoughts and mental state while making this game."

"Has the Bishop reached any conclusions?"

"Of course not yet. It's like I completely don't understand Haxxor Bunny's reasons for making this game, maybe it's just to bring joy to everyone."

The meaning of making games itself is to bring joy to everyone.

Being able to laugh is the ultimate meaning of human existence in the universe, maybe this is Haxxor Bunny's explanation to the existence of the Joyous Aeon of Elation.

Because only Haxxor Bunny has said these words, and only Haxxor Bunny is still in contact with the The Elation.

If you look at it this way, Haxxor Bunny's actions can be explained reasonably.

It's no wonder Haxxor Bunny has caught the eye of the Aeon of Elation.

Creating such excellent games, even Otto, who has been dormant for five hundred years, can find enjoyment in them, and sometimes can't help but laugh out loud.

But after the game ends, there's a sense of melancholy.

Haxxor Bunny is really good at controlling people's hearts.

"Well, Bishop, maybe you should find a way to train Lady Theresa to share some of your work, so you can have more leisure time to enjoy your rest."

"That... would be nice too..."

Otto's eyes lit up at the thought of Theresa in the far east doing nothing, and often hearing reports from Himeko about her using public funds to buy Homu's Moving Castle peripherals.

How should he put it.

To cultivate a future Archbishop, you have to start from a young age. Although Theresa is very excellent in all subjects, she's a bit lazy in terms of mentality.

Still, she has the ability to help himself deal with some of the miscellaneous matters of the Schicksal.

"But, Overseer, Amber suggests that before Lady Theresa can take on the work, please don't let the documents pile up again."

"Speaking of which, Amber."

"Hmm?"

"Do you think those old fogeys of Schicksal can accept Haxxor Bunny, a game producer, to manage Schicksal?"

Amber was shocked.

This is something she can't decide.

So she quickly bowed her head and said, "Overseer, Schicksal is yours alone, and the members of the Elder Council can only protest."

"Maybe~"

Bab 125: Chapter 125: Prison Visit

"Achoo!"

After completing the game production, Bronie decided to take a short break.

The research on the Elysian Realm had little to do with her, and the progress was gradually slowing down.

There was no way around it. No matter how powerful Schicksal was, the resources at hand were limited. However, Fu Hua had indeed been healed and was now staying in the Elysian Realm as both an Immortal and a part-time Valkyrie.

Over the course of fifty thousand years, Fu Hua's body had undergone some changes, which intrigued Mobius.

Of course, there were also the injuries she had once died from.

Later, Aponia stepped in, and everyone learned that it was the aftermath of the SWARA, which made everyone feel awkward.

"Human, it seems you also have days of illness. With such a fragile body, why not abandon it and become my subordinate? I can grant you immortality and endless power."

Sirin stood by and saw Bronie's grand gesture. She disdainfully pushed aside her plate, on which there was still uneaten cherry cake.

This cake, naturally was traded from Rosalia's.

That little fool could be easily pleased with a little sweetness. When tired of snacks, Miss Sirin could always exchange with Rosalia.

As for where the money came from?

Hmph, wasn't it the money sent by that bastard Siegfried who left Kiana? Who else could it be?

"Granting power and such is better left unsaid. Clearly, you can't even defeat me."

Bronie lazily lounged on the sofa, her small feet in white stockings dangling by Sirin's feet, her toes restlessly moving around, while Sirin dared not speak up.

She widened her eyes.

"Hmph, that's because I'm not at my peak now!"

"Hahaha, do you know, above the stars within the Sea of Quanta, there are countless humans! If you want to destroy humans, why not take them along?"

It was obvious this was a provocation.

Sirin could only glare at Bronie again, then reluctantly lay on the sofa like a deflated pufferfish.

"Forget it, humans are like insects, you can't kill them all. When the Archbishop of Schicksal is no longer useful to you, remember to bring him to me to vent my anger."

With Sirin quiet again, she naturally pondered many questions, such as the meaning of life, her future plans, or her own hatred for humans.

Later, as she thought about it, she was drawn to games and their stories, and she also figured out many things.

Archbishop Otto of Schicksal, an extreme egoist, had caused countless tragedies in order to achieve his goals and was also the main culprit in Sirin becoming a Herrscher.

But he also gave Sirin a chance to start over, so Sirin generously allowed Bronie to use Otto to achieve her goals!

It wasn't because of Bronie!

"When you remember, call for Benares. Maybe you'll get a loyal maid."

"Bella! Oh, right, there's Bella..."

Hearing Bronie's words, Sirin suddenly remembered something.

"Let's not talk about Bella's matter for now."

Then Sirin slumped back on the sofa.

"Huh?"

Bronie looked puzzled.

"Do you have any games that can be played inside the consciousness? That way, I can be lazy and not come out. Sometimes, Miss Black Seele gets a little impatient with taking care of me, and I feel it's more comfortable to play games inside Kiana's body."

"Well, there is a thing like that as some of the personalities in Vill-V have complained that their control over the body's time is too short, so they thought about surfing the internet inside the consciousness. Give me some time, and I can create it directly."

"Well, this kind of life is enough. Without goals, life feels meaningless. I can only play games, eat snacks, and simply live day by day."

Revenge had occupied most of Sirin's life, and when revenge was no longer in her to-do list, Sirin couldn't find a goal and fell into empty thinking.

Perhaps having Black Seele as a friend was also possible?

However, Black Seele was completely uninterested in taking action most of the time, and Sirin inexplicably found herself influenced by Black Seele.

Although Kiana could be quite chatty at times, she was indeed interesting, especially when she acted foolishly and then cried and begged for help in her silly manner.

Although Sirin knew it was an act, she was willing to build a good relationship with Kiana. Because in her life, there were only Bronie, Kiana and Black Seele.

Of course, now there was also Benares.

"Okay, as long as you're happy. But in the future, the Elysian Realm might need the power of the Herrscher of the Void to help out a bit. They can offer you quite a reward. If you're not too busy, it wouldn't hurt to go over and help a little, right?"

"In the future? How long from now?"

"Um... Four years? Three years? In short, just a little use of your fingers."

"Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with my gaming."

Sirin completely assumed the demeanor of a salted fish, which made Bronie also feel somewhat regretful.

How did a fine pufferfish end up becoming a salted fish in her orphanage?

Oh well, with Sirin's promise, everything was fine.

"It seems I'll have to create some more interesting games in the future, but Sirin..."

"What?"

"You've been playing Apex for so many years, why are you still in gold rank?"

"Mind your own business!!"

...

"Long time no see, Kevin. I'm here to negotiate terms with you."

Su became an important field operative for the Elysian Realm and would receive direct orders from Elysia, Mobius, and Vill-V.

Of course, he was also entrusted by Otto to observe Bianka's group from afar in the Sea of Quanta, providing necessary security for their quantum sea travels.

However, just soaking in the Sea of Quanta and watching the adventures of the two girls felt quite boring to Su, so he found Kevin and came to visit his 'prison'.

Kevin was quite surprised by Su's arrival.

Seeing that ethereal figure, Kevin knew that Su had stopped observing him through the Project Velaka and had resorted to other means.

But it seemed he still didn't intend to let him out.

"I thought I wouldn't have a chance to come out until after I died my old friend."

The real Kevin remained as icy as ever, and even more bewildering was the fact that in this empty world, Kevin had created a Honkai beast for some reason.

It was extremely large and a bit ugly, but very intimidating.

"The Project Velaka has ended, and the Elysian Realm..."

"Who?"

Whenever the Elysian Realm was mentioned, Kevin became a bit anxious.

"Calm down my dear friend, the Elysian Realm is as normal as ever. I mean the Project Velaka was successful, although it didn't have much to do with me."

Hearing Su's response, Kevin couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"Is it reliable?"

Foreigners generally speaking were very unreliable, and they had no reason to save this world or fight against the Honkai.

Precisely because he fully understood the Honkai, Kevin knew how difficult it was to fight against it.

"I can see her determination, and she has a good relationship with the memory body Elysia... Strictly speaking, after Vill-V's research, it was determined that she is a Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta, a similar existence but different."

"Herrschers can't defeat the Honkai."

Su knew his old friend's personality very well, so he smiled.

"Elysia, she brings hope to fight against the Honkai, so it's not impossible for Herrschers to defeat the Honkai."

"So the plan?"

"Resurrect Elysia, use Elysia's power to locate the location of the Cocoon of Finality, modify the internal system of the Cocoon of Finality, or directly seize control of the Cocoon of Finality."

"Resurrect?"

"It just happens to be used to pass the time here for you. The Elysian Realm has recently undergone many changes, most of which are quite good. Dr. Vill-V and Mobius's recent research reports will show you, and you will understand after reading."

As Su spoke, it seemed like he was manipulating something, and then a bunch of paper documents came flying down like a storm.

This sudden change left Kevin a bit bewildered.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen that expression on you. You probably won't be able to read most of the scientific reports, but you should be able to understand this summary."

The paper documents had almost formed a small mountain, but there was a golden document at the end that caught Kevin's attention.

"What ability is this?"

"Oh, right, it's the Ether Editing ability possessed by the great successor chosen by the entirety of Elysian Realm. She copied that document, then compressed it. I just decoded it, so it's not my ability after all."

Looking at the summary, Kevin finally understood the general idea.

Because he had to learn some advanced knowledge to deal with Herrschers in the past, Kevin could still understand many things.

And the truth of the world that Dr. Mei didn't notice until the end still remained in Kevin's mind.

The Tree of Imaginary Numbers...

The truth of this world, and even more information, was actually brought by the Herrscher from the so-called Sea of Quabta!

"I will personally judge the matter of the Herrscher from the Sea of Quanta."

Su's lips curled slightly.

"I knew you would say that, so I won't rush to bring you back. I'll wait until we have a complete research result, but it must be boring to stay here. I have a game console here, as well as a charger and high-energy battery, which can be used continuously for ten years."

Another box fell on top of the documents.

Kevin was a little regretful to be imprisoned in the Sea of Quanta by Su like this.

Otherwise, why did this scene appear like Su was visiting him in prison?

But he still felt a complex mixture of emotions as he hesitantly opened the game console.

But there seemed to be only one game in the console—Getting Over It with Haxxor Bunny.

"Why is there only one game?"

"Because I want you to play this game first. The other games will be unlocked after you clear this one. And these games are all made by Miss Bronie. You can understand what kind of person she is through her works, although maybe only a part of her."

Seeing Su's relaxed smile, Kevin suddenly had a rare feeling of unease.

"Don't worry, Elysia knows about you and can't bear to see you lonely in here. We will prepare to establish a network later, so you can communicate anytime, and I will also come occasionally to deliver supplies."

Isn't this still like visiting a prison?

Now Kevin was very annoyed.

But he could only reluctantly accept it.

After all, back then, it was Kevin who pushed Su into the world and tacitly accepted Su's actions to stop his Project Stigma.

The Project Stigma was the worst plan, so it was saved for last. There was nothing wrong with that, but Kevin's mentality was not very good at the time. With the failure of Griseo's Project Ark, Kevin's patience was completely exhausted in the end.

Griseo's matter had a great impact on Kevin.

"I understand, I will judge on my own."

Kevin believed that the so-called game couldn't guarantee the true nature of that person.

But it could reflect the character of the creator indirectly.

"Well, I look forward to the day when we meet again in the future. Maybe even Dr. Mei could be resurrected."

The softest part of Kevin's heart was touched, and there was suddenly a glimmer in his eyes.

"Until we truly defeat the Honkai, I will not give up on the Project Stigma."

"I understand, my dear friend. Goodbye, my dear friend."

Su nodded, feeling that Kevin had indeed changed very little.

No, it should be said that there had never been any change in Kevin's heart when it came to fighting against the Honkai.

Just like Sans who locked themselves and the Genocide Route in the same timeline, heroes always bore heavy burdens.

Kevin just watched as Su gradually dissipated, but at the last moment, Su suddenly said, "By the way, game development is also divided by time. I marked the production time and the time she arrived. Maybe the theme has a lot to do with her connections in this world."

Then Su completely disappeared, and the world bubble once again entered its usual silence.

Originally, Kevin had planned to relive the tragedy of the Twelfth Herrscher.

But now, what was in front of Kevin was to read the plan for resurrection in the Imaginary Tree and a game.

Looking at the densely packed documents, Kevin felt his scalp tingling, so he turned his gaze to the box containing the game console.

When he opened the box earlier, he found many other things inside.

Digging through the box, he found a box of instant noodles with a note attached to it.

[To Boss Kevin outside! I heard you seem to be having a tough time! I've brought you a box of instant noodles. When we're all resurrected, we must eat together again!]

There were many more gifts behind it: Gridek's paintings, Aponia's carved figurines, Vill-V's surprise box, Mobius's green snake sleeping bag, Elysia's storybook prepared for him, which was a small story between Elysia and Bronie in the Elysian Realm.

Of course, there were also Vill-V's puzzle pieces, Kosma's comic book, Sakura's cherry blossom decorations, and the vinyl record and record player from Eden.

Each gift had a note attached, along with some words of encouragement and encouragement.

Kevin trembled as he slowly put down the note in his hand, silently raising his head to look at the empty sky of the Bubble World.

There were many things he wanted to share with everyone, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.

Can resurrection really succeed?
