This is the ninth art

Chapter 174 The wind howls, the one standing in front of you is a real hero!

The plot has come to the present, and quite a few people at the scene have already felt uncomfortable.

Obviously, except for some specific dialogues and changes in details.

The core of the game has not changed at all.

These behaviors can be selected in the peace line 【Battle】【Action】【Item】【Benevolence】

Still selectable in the Genocide line.

The way of fighting has not changed either.

The same is to manipulate the red heart to avoid the subsequent barrage attacks within the prescribed square white frame.

However, the feeling is completely different!

In traditional monster-killing games.

The protagonist kills monsters without any psychological burden on the player.

Linear growth and the acquisition of equipment will make players feel happy all the time.

"But in the carnage line of this game... I don't feel any joy."

"As if our player-controlled protagonist is an out-and-out monster, it makes my conscience ache."

And while the game continues to advance.

The protagonist will encounter a small episode that appears in the third level of Act One.

An angry puppet.

Because they are quite irritable, they have to fight when they see players in the first week.

And the most annoying thing is that this angry figure does not take any physical damage.

In other words, the player's attack has no effect on it.

It has to dodge its fierce attack with great difficulty, and at the same time, constantly [be kind] to the opponent.

In the first play, the second player died at the hands of this angry puppet many times.

But in the second week, after the protagonist kills all the way down with a butcher knife.

When I meet this puppet again.

The prompt that pops up has changed.

【You met a happy doll! 】

After meeting the protagonist, it is about to get angry and start a fight with the protagonist.

But after seeing clearly that it was the protagonist, he apologized repeatedly, and forced a smile on his sweat-stained cheeks.

Backed away while talking, and then bluffed, it decided to spare the protagonist.

But in the end he was taken away by the protagonist.

"Good guy... Our protagonist has become a complete devil now, right?"

"The angry puppet doesn't dare to be angry when it sees the protagonist, it's too real..."

"But don't you think the portrayal of this monster is very human? It's like the kind of bullying stubble that you occasionally see in life."

……

After solving the Happy Puppet, player No. [-] went all the way to the bottom of the third level.

On the way, you will encounter a little dinosaur monster who has been following you.

Its nature is very innocent, and it doesn't even recognize that the player is a demon who has gone mad all the way.

The reason why it appears here is to chase stars.

Its idol is the bottom boss of the third level that the player will meet, Andyne.

A fish monster.

Any conversations it has on the road, the protagonist will only respond with an indifferent face of '—_—'.

And finally.

Maybe it was because he was dissatisfied with this little boy who was very noisy all the way.

Or have reached the end of the level.

The player's butcher knife finally swung at it!

The boss of the checkpoint, An Dai, fell from the sky at this time and blocked the knife for the little dinosaur.

And yelling to let the little dinosaur leave, when he will cover.

Complicated expressions appeared in the eyes of all the audience.

When faced with a powerful demon, there is often a heroic human, covering the retreat of all survivors, and then sacrificing himself.

This plot is placed in the long river of human history, and it has been interpreted to the point of being extremely clichéd.

But what if you convert it?

Is the player playing the role of a demon at this time?
The hero who fell from the sky sacrificed himself in order to cover the escape of the surviving monsters.

Such behavior touched countless viewers.

The dialog box pops up at the right time, accompanied by a grand and epic music that seems to praise the hero.

[The wind howls, the one standing in front of you now is a true hero! 】

Andian should have died under the player's butcher's knife.

But the determination to protect the entire underground world surpasses everything at this moment!
She burned her determination and courage, and became the [Immortal Andyne]

And the blood bar is finally not something that can be killed with a single blow.

During the battle, player No. [-] discovered that the bottom boss was stronger than he expected.

The difficulty is quite high.

After repeated violent deaths more than a dozen times.

Only then could he defeat her.

But after the defeat, there was no sense of joy.

The fallen Andyne grinned, and she showed a mouthful of sharp fish teeth in her monster appearance.

Sarcastically smiled at the player.

"My goal has been achieved.

You can no longer kill any monsters in the underground world.

They've been moved by Ephesus to a safe place you'll never find them while you were fighting me.

As a demon, but you can't kill everything, you are clearly a failure. "

After the words fell, Andyin, the bottom boss of the third level, also turned into powder and dissipated in the wind.

But what she did touched many viewers.

Sacrifice yourself to buy time for all monsters to escape.

This great quality that should have existed in humans has appeared in monsters that have always been regarded as monsters.

This strong sense of contradiction and contrast made the audience continue to be broken.

The ridicule before death was like a heavy hammer hitting all the audience at the scene.

"Who is the monster..." Even the emotional girls at the scene shed tears silently.

"I don't want to see massacre anymore... We can obviously choose a more peaceful way. We can be friends with these monsters with good intentions. They haven't messed with us at all. Why design a massacre line?"

"I feel my conscience aching..."

"She is the real hero of the underground kingdom." Some judges sighed softly.

at last.

The game has entered the final level.

A water dispenser placed at the entrance of the level is very dazzling at this time.

in the peace line.

Andai, who was throwing water at the players all the way, chased the hot zone, and because she was a fish monster, she couldn't bear the heat of the hot zone and fell to the ground.

The player also uses the water dispenser to collect water to revive her.

But now.

She died to protect the underground world.

The one who killed her and destroyed the peace of the entire underground world.

is the player itself.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore... I'm an old man, my eyes will get blurred watching this kind of rough game... I don't want to watch the brothers, I will withdraw first." Some netizens on the Internet chose to close it Live broadcast, calm down.

in the game.

Just like what An Daiyin said before she died.

All monsters have been moved to a safe place.

Therefore, players will not encounter any mobs throughout the fourth level.

There are only some monsters with combat power left, which are exactly the same as Andyne.

The player chose to fight to the death.

But alas, they are not determined enough.

All players were cut with one knife.

When reaching the bottom of the last level.

The little flower that I haven't seen for a long time finally popped up.

It began to tell the story of its resurrection.

It can be regarded as the disclosure of the plot that was not completed in the whole game at the end.

in conversation.

The truth is revealed.

Players learned why Xiaohua turned into that way in Peace Line.

Before the little prince Asriel died, because it had the soul of Chara.

So its consciousness didn't dissipate immediately.

But King Asgore lost two beloved children overnight and was furious.

Scientist Ephesus was asked to study the substance of human soul and determination overnight to prepare for the upcoming war between humans and monsters.

Ephesus studies the substance 'soul' with different objects.

Among them is the soul of Asriel possessed by Xiao Hua.

After injecting human determination into it.

Xiao Hua developed a strange ability due to a mutation in the experiment.

An ability to manipulate the timeline.

very beginning.

It is also like a player.

Choose to be friendly to all monsters in the underground world.

It has tried to befriend all monsters.

They live happily together.

But the good times didn't last long.

Soon, Xiaohua got tired of this kind of life.

"You know, day after day, year after year.

I can know all their reactions.

All their actions have been experienced by me a thousand and eight hundred times.

I'm almost going crazy.

So, I chose slaughter. "

"Is this reason too far-fetched?" Some viewers were surprised: "If you can manipulate the timeline, do you want to kill all your friends and relatives?"

"If you really put it in, you will find that the reason is not only not far-fetched, but also very wonderful!" A judge heard the complaints from the audience in the front row behind him, turned to him with a little excitement, and said, "Designer Chu agrees. The attention to detail is really good!"

The audience who complained showed confusion.

The judges couldn't help but excitedly said: "If you can manipulate the timeline at will, then all unknowns will disappear, and you can know everyone's actions at all times..."

"Your daily life is saving, loading, and reopening. It's like playing a stand-alone game."

"And after you have cleared this game dozens, hundreds, thousands of times...is it really fun?"

The audience showed shocked expressions.

If you have already mastered all the details of a game.

If you know every line of it backwards, the game will be no fun at all.

So, what about life?

When you find out that you know every word your parents say to you next.

When you find out you know anything and everyone you meet when you go out.

You have already experienced it in an endlessly repeating timeline, and their actions appear to you as coded instructions set by a computer.

Is this kind of life... really meaningful?

Xiaohua chose to slaughter, which seemed to be a necessity.

It requires more varied responses.

After experiencing countless smiles as programmed.

The scolding of friends, the consternation and resentment of friends.

For it, it has become a very novel experience!

in repeated experiences.

Xiaohua finds that she has lost her affection for anyone.

Laugh or cry.

Facing the fear of death is also good.

It doesn't matter if you kneel down and beg for mercy to let your family go.

All of this is numb to Xiao Hua.

"And now, I'm tired of even being a demon.

I've done everything I can.

I have read every book and listened to every piece of music.

And burned every book.

Win all the games.

Also lost all the games.

Keep everyone happy.

And let everyone die with hatred.

Every set of numbers, every line of dialogue.

I know it all! "

"But it's just you, I can't predict your behavior.

Your resolve is stronger than mine.

You have the same power as me, the power to manipulate timelines. "

This time, Xiao Hua broke the fourth wall to talk to the player.

Some viewers woke up.

"Do you remember what Xiao Hua said to us when the Peace Line ended?"

"It begs us not to reopen, let the monsters live happily like this."

"If we must, it wants us to erase its memory along with it."

"Precisely because it once controlled the timeline, those monsters are nothing but marionettes to it."

"Now, our players have the ability to archive, which is more powerful than it, so it is just a marionette to us. We can let it finally apologize to us in the peace line."

"We can also make it our accomplice in the slaughter line."

"It has become a marionette in our eyes. It expected such a thing to happen, so it begged us to delete all its memories. In this way, there will be no pain at the mercy of others."

Imagine if you learned that someone manipulated your timeline, making you start over every day and only react step by step.

This kind of life will be quite painful.

Xiaohua's words caused a great sensation among the audience!
The sound of the audience was boiling like boiling water.

"This game has brought me thinking beyond the peace line so far!"

"If I only look at the peace line, I would think that this is just an ordinary and simple healing game, and the plot is relatively old-fashioned and monotonous. But after seeing the massacre line, I realized that the depth of this game is far more than that! It The many soul tortures reflected are very connotative!"

"Brother Chu Zi is really amazing! My mother! My scalp is numb! What kind of fairy game is this!!"

Not just the audience.

Even the judges who deliberately scored the first episode of "Under the Legend" just now, everyone's expression was shocked.

They looked down at the scoring cards in their hands.

Caught in hesitation.

"I have to interrupt. Although the game has not been completed yet, I have something to say in my heart."

"I admit that I scored a low score of seven points just now, and now, I realize this mistake."

"So far, what the game has shown.

It's not just a game anymore.

It has subverted the turn-based system from the gameplay.

In terms of type, it created a brand new fourth wall.

Now the multiple tortures of the soul have once again raised the game to a higher level!

What is goodness?
What is evil?
For a monster with a timeline at its disposal, none of this seems to matter.

The definitions of good and evil have long been blurred, and even merged into one.

And the appearance of the player represents the birth of another little flower!

Players have stronger determination and have an archiving ability far surpassing that of Xiao Hua.

Then.

The so-called peace line and massacre line.

After repeated experience many times, it will also become numb and finally feel boring.

Then.

Are there any stronger determination holders than players?
They can dominate the human timeline?

Each reopening will delete human memory.

This is a thought that is extremely terrifying, and it makes people shudder.

This is my current understanding of this game, which has surpassed my definition and cognition of the game.For the first time, I know that games can have such complex depth.

Regardless of how the plot will go when the meeting ends, I will give my full marks first.

In order to subvert the turn-based gameplay.

For the groundbreaking of the fourth wall.

Also for the deep meaning of the plot.

I give……

very! ! "

The judges raised their hands high and showed their 10-point cards.

This move directly pushed the atmosphere of the competition to a climax!

The audience in the audience whistled and applauded wildly!
Get full marks before the game is over!

This is no match for any other game.

It's an impermissible behavior.

There may even be suspicions of cover-up and adultery.

But for "Under the Legend", no one doubts it.

Even the organizer of the supervision stood in the audience without saying a word.

The audience even gave him applause full of respect because of the judges' bold actions.

"Steady!!" Dai Xiaoshi also clenched her fists and said to herself.

All the employees at Junyue headquarters let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at each other with smiles.

"I just said, this is Mr. Chu. If the game ends only at the peace line, it would be too childish." Ling Tianhang laughed.

"I just said that Chu is always in love!" Yang Mai also licked his face and smiled.

"You were the one who had the loudest opinion just now. I will give him a small report when Mr. Chu comes back." Xu Nianqing glared at Yang Mai and hummed softly.

"Don't... Secretary Xu! Mrs. Xu!" Yang Mai shouted hastily.

Immediately, Xu Nianqing's beautiful face flushed, and veins swelled up on his fair forehead.

One after another is something difficult to understand.

What' who... who is the proprietress!Don't talk nonsense! ', 'I didn't mean that! ', 'Mr. Chu has no intention of falling in love at all, okay? '

It made the office full of cheerful atmosphere.

With the quality and depth and groundbreaking all-in-one that Undertale has shown so far, winning the title is almost a foregone conclusion.

Everyone is laughing.

Only one person couldn't laugh anyway.

Pu Enlu's tears welled up in his eyes.

He is not wronged.

On the contrary, he was a little angry.

When the emotion reached this point, the eyes blurred unconsciously.

There is still a little ending that has not been finished, but the main plot that affects a game has been written.

The next chapter will be some comments on the game from all walks of life.

This game shows a lot of things, and what the judge said is just one of them.

In the next chapter, this game and the entire Asia Tournament will be brought to an end.
