Eight Hundred and Fiftieth Chapters the Best Reward
"Swish..."
After a snowflake, a picture appeared on the old-fashioned black and white TV screen.
Old P can be sure that it is Mary, because her appearance is exactly the same as Maria, but her clothes and hairstyles are more traditional and conservative.
"Are you recording again? Oops..."
Mary smiled at the camera, waved her hands, and sat down in the chair by the bed.
"I don't know why, but I just like it here."
"very quiet."
"I said long ago that this place used to be a holy place..."
"Now I understand why."
"Sorry, we're leaving..."
"Promise me, you will bring me back, okay? Cough..."
Mary came to the camera expectantly, but suddenly coughed uncontrollably.
Then, the picture on the TV suddenly became chaotic, and the incomplete fragments flashed quickly, and it was unknown whether it was a video or a memory in the hero's mind.
Or, the video and the memory in the hero's mind are mixed together, intertwined and indistinguishable...
In the chaotic clips, there are pictures of Mary looking out the window and contemplating, and there are pictures of Mary lying on the bed and the male protagonist taking good care of...
However, there is a very scary scene.
In front of Mary's hospital bed, the male protagonist stood up suddenly, blocking the camera.
In the chaotic image, there seems to be a vague figure that pulls something on the head of the bed, and then presses it violently...
There was only one snowflake left on the TV.
At this time, the male protagonist seemed to be drained of all his strength, sitting in front of the TV, his head drooping weakly, and he looked at the floor.
Old P couldn't move, and couldn't change his perspective. He could only be like the hero, motionless, staring at the floor, listening to the rustling of the black and white TV, as if... a dead person.
The little girl Laura ran in and asked the protagonist if she had found Mary. Seeing that the protagonist was motionless, she gently pushed the protagonist on the shoulder.
Old P's vision swayed, but he still stared blankly at the ground, motionless and deaf.
After a long time, the male protagonist looked up.
"Laura, Mary is gone... dead."
Laura said loudly, "No, you lied! She... she died? Died?"
The hero shook his head.
"No... I killed her."
...
...
At the end of the game, everything becomes more confusing.
However, the old P has gradually understood the truth of a little thing.
Mary did not die of illness, but the protagonist killed her with his own hands.
Because Mary suffered from an incurable disease, she was bedridden for three years and suffered so much that she could only wait to die.
This desperate life makes Mary mad at everyone around her, especially the protagonist James.
And James was also tortured by such a life, and even wanted to escape, afraid of seeing Mary.
Until one day, Mary told James that she had had enough of the pain and she wanted to die.
James personally helped Mary end the pain, but this memory was too painful for him, so he was closed in the depths of his spiritual world, only remembering that Mary died of illness.
And Silent Hill is a terrifying place that can turn out all the negative emotions in people's hearts, so James came to Silent Hill, the bizarre scenes he saw, the terrifying monsters, the various things he experienced...
In fact, it was all about the dark side of his heart.
At the end of the game, the old P finally defeated the terrifying triangular head and killed the monster Maria incarnated into.
Finally, James seemed to have traveled through time and space, returned to Mary's sickbed, and had the last dialogue with the dead Mary.
Mary was lying on the hospital bed, her face was haggard, and she had been tortured by the pain into a human form.
James: "I'm sorry..."
Mary coughed twice. "I said, I want to die, James. I want to end this pain."
"That's why I do this, I can't watch you suffer..."
James paused and shook his head again: "No, that's not the whole truth. You also said that you don't want to die... The truth is that part of me hates you and hates you for taking my life..."
Mary interrupted him: "You killed me and suffered for it. Enough, James..."
James left the room with the dead Mary in his arms.
In the darkness, James' voice echoed in Old P's ears.
"Now I know the real reason I came to this town."
"What have I to be afraid of?"
"Mary, without you, I have nothing..."
A fierce tire friction sound, from far to near...
"Now, we can finally be together forever..."
James' profile face appeared in Old P's field of vision, but his eyes were closed and he walked peacefully. Under the still water, Mary's voice calmly finished reading the letter to James.
"I saw that town in endless dreams, Silent Hill."
...
"When I first knew I was dying, I refused to accept it."
"I lash out at everyone around me, especially you, James."
"So, if you really hate me, I understand."
"But I want you to know..."
"I will always love you, James."
...
"You give so much, and I can't pay it back."
"So, I want you to live for yourself."
"Think of yourself, James."
...
"James..."
"You make me feel so happy..."
In the final scene, there is darkness. The background music "Promise" still reverberated in old P's ears, but this guitar song seemed to have other completely different meanings.
When I first heard this song, I felt terrified and shuddered. It is obviously a somewhat cheerful song, but it contains indescribable strangeness.
But now I listen to it again, but it seems... There is another kind of strong sadness and sadness.
This time, in the darkness, Old P did not quit the game immediately, but quietly read the entire production crew list and listened to the song "Promise".
And the audience of the barrage was also immersed in the plot of the game, and the barrage in the entire live broadcast room was surprisingly consistent.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah! This plot!"
"QAQ, tears!"
"What the hell, isn't this a horror game, why am I crying!"
"Thank you old P for bringing us such a wonderful game. If you let me play it myself, I would definitely not dare to play it. Thank you old P for taking us through the game!"
"I burst into tears, the last song is called "Promise"? It sounds good..."
...
After all the customs clearance, the old P returned to the landing space of the VR game cabin.
At this time, a window popped up in front of him. As the first 10,000 players to clear Silent Hill, they will receive rewards for choosing six games from all platforms.
However, Old P suddenly felt that this reward was not so important anymore.
Being able to get through a game like "Silent Hill" seems to be the best reward in itself, right?
