Chapter 394 298 People Were Stunned by the Knife

After completing the game, Shoji Yamada was completely stunned by the sword.

When he went to bed at night, he felt extremely heartbroken.

This situation has not happened for a long time.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the scene where Elvira turned into a big tree and was killed by the protagonist with one sword after another.

He seemed to be able to hear the music in the game in his ears.

In his dream, Shoji Yamada dreamed of Elvira, who stretched out her hand to hug him, and when he looked up, he found that Elvira was covered with devil eggs.

Shoji Yamada sat up from the bed suddenly, only to find that he had been sweating all over without realizing it.

He looked at the time, it was only 3 o'clock in the morning.

So he fell back to sleep.

This time, he dreamed of Eve.

Eve's beautiful image became clear in the darkness, and then she stood under the big tree in the distance and waved to him.

However, just as Yamada Masaharu ran towards her with joy, he just hugged Eve and found out——

"Eh? Eve, your head?"

He took a step back and found that Eve was headless.

And at this moment, Eve's voice came from under his feet, "I'm right here, Yamada-kun."

He looked down and found that Eve's face was looking at him on the ground.

When he raised his head again, the headless body of Eve was gushing with black blood from the opening of the neck, and then it turned into a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.

She laughed together with the head on the ground, making a faint laugh, which was particularly scary in the dark night.

Eve walked towards him and wanted to hug Yamada Masaharu.

"Yamada-kun, can we go home together?"

"Ah!!!"

Yamada Masaharu screamed and woke up from his sleep.

Because the feeling in the dream was too strong, it was as if his arm was still firmly grasped.

He quickly reached out to pat.

At this time, when he woke up, Yamada Masaharu realized that he had grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and the two hands were pinching each other.

…

Terrible…

My hands were bruised by myself.

In short, it was very uncomfortable.

Whether it was Eve's death or the fact that Elvira was willing to sacrifice herself for the entire human world in the final ending, Yamada Masaharu felt extremely uncomfortable.

This mood was too depressing, and there was an indescribable bitterness.

Damn pokeni!

Damn Gen Urobuchi!

Yamada Masaharu cursed them again.

When I went to work at the company the next day, I found that everyone had almost the same depressed expression.

…

At noon, several friends chatted and basked in the sun on the rooftop.

The spring in March was just right.

Blue sky and white clouds, the weather turned warm, everything revived, and the flowers bloomed in spring.

It was the season for animals... again.

"Ah~ What a bitter life." Keisuke Kinoshita sighed.

The other people looked up and looked at him in surprise.

"Didn't you buy "The Witcher 2"? "

"Huh?"

Keisuke Kinoshita was slightly stunned, "I'm talking about my married life, what are you talking about?"

Damn...

This guy can't even chat with him.

"Of course we're talking about The Witcher 2."

"Is it fun?" Keisuke Kinoshita put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at them with interest.

However, he just asked casually. After looking around, Kinoshita immediately understood.

"Ah~ Gen Urobuchi's script," Kinoshita looked at them with pity, "I already understand."

The other people frowned fiercely as if an arrow had been stabbed in their hearts, and each of them fell into silence.

After two seconds,

"Damn it," Hayamikawa was the first to break the silence, "I know Gen Urobuchi has a bad personality and twisted human nature, but I didn't expect it to be twisted to this extent.

Ah~

After playing the game, I feel terrible now."

"Who isn't?" Yamada Masaharu responded, with bitterness almost pouring out of his face.

On the other side, Furukawa Hiroze seemed calm, but in fact he was also very hurt.

"It's too miserable, Eve, it's too miserable Elvira..."

Furukawa Hiroze stretched out his hand and covered his face in pain.

"Gen Urobuchi's knife is really fast."

"When I first got to Eve, I really felt it. Do you know the feeling of having your soul pulled out of your body? I want to cry but I can't. There is nothing more sad than a dead heart." Yamada Masaharu said uncomfortably, "I didn't expect that he would even cut Elvira later."

"Me too. At first I thought that the old thief's knife would stop when it almost reached Eve, but I didn't expect that Gen Urobuchi's knife was even more evil than the devil, leaving no room for mercy.

Eve was cut,

Elvira was also cut.

As expected, Gen Urobuchi, the old thief, has no conscience, and has no bottom line at all.

The blades I sent before were still too few." Furukawa Hiroze said indignantly.

The other people turned their heads in surprise and looked at him as if they were looking at a devil.

After two seconds, Furukawa Hiroze finally reacted.

"When I said I sent blades, I didn't mean that I really sent blades. It's an adjective. Do you understand adjectives?!"

Furukawa Haoze clapped his hands and said with some excitement.

Yamada and Hayamikawa then turned their heads.

"I understand, I understand how you feel. To be honest, sometimes when you are impulsive, you will inevitably send a blade or something." Hayamikawa said.

"Hey, senior, it's just a joke, please stop saying such terrible things, okay?" Yamada Masaharu persuaded.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, then returned to the topic of the game.

"Think about it carefully, everyone in this game should be dead, right?"

"Isn't that right?" Masaharu Yamada counted them one by one with his fingers, "Eve at the beginning, Eve is dead.

Finally, a childhood sweetheart, a girl who grew up together and was so cute, was killed by Her Majesty the Queen.

The captain of the palace guard, Kleist, died. At first I thought he was really a bad guy, the leader of the rebels.

Until he heard the princess say that he was protecting her and sending her out of the city safely, it was like breaking her defense.

I didn't expect Kleist to be such a gentle and sunny person.

Kleist is also dead.

Queen Belinda also died.

General Rogge is also dead.

Then Elivera died too.

All dead.

Even the male protagonist Erwin can be said to have died once.

Erwin is now a demon, but he has been suppressed by his strong willpower.

I have never seen a pokeni game that kills people so thoroughly. In the game, every character that had some weight, had a name, and could be remembered by the players was dead.

I really want to cry to death. "

"Erwin should be regarded as the most tragic protagonist in all pokeni games ever, right?

When he was young, his whole family died, and his mother died trying to save him.

Later, a companion who grew up together, Eve, became his teammate and died.

After finally meeting a soulmate, Elivera, who liked him and was deeply loved by him, ended up dead. "

"This man is simply a lone star from the sky. Is there something wrong?"

Several people suddenly raised their heads at the same time and exchanged glances with each other, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"It sounds like it's true. Erwin must be too miserable. How could Gen Urobuchi, a crazy person like him, set up such an identity for the male protagonist?"

"It's so miserable. I would call him the most miserable male protagonist in history. If such a life happened to me, I probably wouldn't want to live anymore.

I didn't expect Erwin to be able to persist. "

"Who knows how it will end?"

"Damn it! Gen Urobuchi! Nishiuchi!"

…

After returning home in the evening and having nothing to do, Masaharu Yamada opened the official forum of pokeni and happened to see a latest post:

[Is the game "The Demon Hunter: Demon Egg" worth buying? 】

Looking at the time, it was posted just after 9pm tonight, which means that no more than 10 minutes have passed.

What a problem this is.

Pokeni's masterpiece is directed by Shinji Mikami, produced by Hidetaka Miyazaki, scripted by Gen Urobuchi, and composed by Yoko Shimomura. Isn't a game like this worth buying?

Who knew that after scrolling down, the post at the top was:

"Run! Brother! If you don't run, it will be too late. There will be a lot of people below trying to drag you into the trap.

But, what I want to tell you is!

Run!

This is not a game that humans can afford.

This game contains Xuan Urobuchi's deep malice.

If there is a real demon that definitely exists in the entire world of "The Demon Hunter: Demon Egg", then this person must be Gen Urobuchi, and no one else! "

“Whether it’s worth buying depends on how strong your heart is and how strong your endurance is.

Let's put it this way, if you can bear to lose everything and all the good things you like are deprived of you, then congratulations, you are very suitable for this game.

If you have any pain in your conscience, you won’t dare to buy this game.

The script author, Gen Urobuchi, shows no mercy when he unleashes his sword. "

"Don't listen to the nonsense on the second floor, this game is definitely worth buying."

No, no, if you write it like this, the other party will definitely think it's a trap and won't buy it.

Then there is one less person in the world who should share the pain. How can this be done?

To really be able to deceive people, ah, to really be able to help people, is to talk about the pros and cons together. Only in this way can it be real, have reference value, and allow players to enter the trap with confidence and boldness.

Therefore, Yamada Masaharu replied later:

"Let me say the conclusion first. If you are a player who likes action games, then this game must be bought.

If you like love and epic storylines, then this game must be a well-deserved world-class masterpiece.

If you just like to play some simple and mindless games to kill time, I think "The Witcher Demon Egg" is not suitable for you. You can try some other party games.

So what I want to say next is my personal experience to see if it can help you and provide you with reference value:

Think about it, in this game, Shinji Mikami is the director.

The script was written by Gennai Urobuchi.

The music is the work of talented music master Yoko Shimomura.

On top of painting...

Just by seeing such a lineup, you will at least understand that the game cannot be bad.

The quality is guaranteed.

In fact, this is also true. When I personally experienced it, I was amazed when I played it for the first time..."

Masaharu Yamada wrote more than 3,000 words eloquently.

It seems that some innocuous shortcomings are written, but in fact many of them are praising The Witcher and Demon Egg.

After finishing writing, Yamada Masaharu read it again.

Awesome!

Posts like this become much more real when compared.

I can't be the only one getting hurt!

…

…

As time continues to ferment, there are more and more comments on the new game "The Demon Hunter: Demon Egg" in the forum, and the entire forum has become popular again.

“To be honest, this game has cured my dry eye syndrome that I have suffered for many years. After finishing the game, I couldn’t stop crying.

But there is one more disease——

heart disease.

Now I often feel inexplicable heart palpitations and heartache, and I don’t feel well all over.

All this is thanks to "The Demon Hunter: Demon Egg"

Xuan Xuanyuan, I am very grateful to you.

It has provided us with such a good game and such an unforgettable game plot.

At the same time, I also hate you.

Because you have no human emotions at all.

Xi Nei, Xu Yuan Xuan! "

"However, there is one thing to say. Although the game is very sad, the ending seems to be full of Urobuchi Gen's endless malice.

However, when you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that this game is indeed very good, it is simply a masterpiece.

The creation of each character is simply amazing.

Everyone has their own destiny, and everyone has their own pain. More often than not, they are pushed forward by the times and surrounding environmental factors, with almost no choice.

Moreover, the characters in the game are not black and white. Gen Urobuchi has created vivid, complex, but charming characters in the game.

Kleist, the captain of the palace guard and the leader of the rebels, gave players a relatively negative impression at first, and he also [kidnapped] the princess.

But when you actually meet him, you will find that Kleist is such a gentle and sunny person.

From the pieces of information collected later about Kleist, you will know that his leg was also chopped off to protect Elivera.

When the princess mourns for him, misses the sound of Kleist's flute, and transfers his bone flute to Erwin as a very precious gift, you will realize Kleist's tenderness and loyalty.

His life was a life of dedication, a life of protecting the princess and wanting to die with dignity.

In fact, it is very worthy of respect.

Then, Eve, the most unsatisfactory and caring cute girl in the game, has had many common and tragic experiences with the male protagonist. It is precisely because of this that she can gain more sympathy from the players.

However, Eve is actually a very lively and lovely girl. She also has her own dreams and her own naughty side.

Such an eccentric girl was willing to be beheaded by the Queen in order to defeat Emperor Winifred.

I don’t know if you have noticed this detail. When Eve heard the Queen say the words "Give your life for the stars", her whole body trembled.

You could see it in the shadows, and Eve was scared to tears.

But, even so, she didn't resist.

Eve, at that moment, was willing to devote her life to the stars.

But I think she also has her own unwillingness and unfulfilled wishes. Maybe she wants to spend her whole life with the male protagonist, maybe she can take revenge as a human being.

However, she could no longer sense these, and Eve turned into a demon.

This is her destiny.

As for Queen Belinda, although many people hate her to the core, I can't hate her.

Even many times, I wonder, if I were the queen of the stars, what should I do? Do I have a choice?

No.

Actually, the answer is no.

When you sit on the throne, you are no longer a person, an individual, but a collection of the will of thousands of people, released and conveyed through your hands.

The queen is for the entire star, and she has no selfish motives at all. It is precisely because of this that you will find that Queen Belinda is absolutely rational and ruthless in the game.

But, does Belinda ever show her emotions?

In fact, there is, the first time is in front of the male protagonist, and the second time is when facing Elivera.

From the game, we can probably guess that Queen Belinda uses these demon warriors as pawns for the victory of the stars to push the kingdom forward.

However, she also has sympathy for these people.

And, more importantly, Queen Belinda is the staunch executor who truly hates demons and demon warriors and wants to end the birth and reincarnation of demon eggs.

All the softness in her heart was given to Elivera.

As the [god] who gave birth to demon eggs, Elivera should have been imprisoned like her counterparts in the Haoyue Empire, but Belinda gave her freedom.

It's just that she hopes to give Elvira freedom only after fulfilling her long-cherished wish, that is, to cut off all the [Gods].

Queen Belinda is the most complex and profound character in all the pokeni I have played so far, and even in all games.

She has her own helplessness and her own gentleness, and more importantly, she is determined to hold power and make decisions for her people.

She is strong, wise, and regards getting rid of all the [Gods] as her ultimate goal.

Such a character is very charming.

So, when I think about it, I will also think, if I were Queen Belinda, could I do better than her?

I can't.

So, I admire you, Queen Belinda.

...

General Rogge is also a very charming and sad character.

He is a person who is willing to die for the kingdom, for the queen, for the stars and everything he loves.

You can say that he is loyal, but you can't help but be moved by his spirit of dying.

Even at the moment before the kingdom was about to fall, General Rogge was still willing to give it a try and end his life by swallowing the devil's egg, while using his dead body to resist Iris's attack.

Really an amazing person.

As for Elvira...

I can only say that fate has already written a script for her since the day she was born.

Some people may think that it was Gen Urobuchi's malice to arrange Elvira's death.

But in fact, all this has been foreshadowed long ago, and Elvira's true identity can be captured from the details of the game:

Silver long hair, with a super beautiful face, although similar to Queen Belinda, as long as you have seen the [God] in the Haoyue Empire

you will find that Elvira is actually more like her kind.

In the game, the queen's words also hinted at this many times. If Elvira is a princess, why doesn't she go back to inherit the throne, but let Erwin take her as far as possible.

It's better to go to a place where no humans exist.

Belinda gave all her tenderness to Elvira.

She wants to kill all the gods and make the devil's egg disappear from this world, so she must kill Elvira.

However, she asked Erwin to take her away to a place where no one is, which is equivalent to exchanging the safety and peace of humans and Elvira in this way.

These are all arranged by Gen Urobuchi, and they are also very natural character settings.

Everything is pushed by the gears of fate and placed in front of you.

For Elvira, all humans in this world regard her as an enemy. The devil's egg may not be essentially divided into good and evil, but it has become a devil because of human desires.

In the setting of the game, if there is not so much hatred and desire, even if it is parasitized by the devil's egg, there will be no impact.

So in the final analysis, it is still human nature that is at work.

Elvira is essentially different from humans. This is her original sin, but she is also an innocent and poor child.

Finally, after Belinda's death, Elvira decided to put an end to the whole world with her own death.

It can be said that Elvira has done her best, even sacrificing her life.

Such a pure and kind girl, it is really a blasphemy for her to live in this dirty and filthy world.

From her choice, you can understand Elvira's loneliness, and at the same time understand her feelings for Erwin, and remember her name deeply.

Her name is Elvira.

..."

This long review was quickly pinned to the top by the official and became a popular boutique post.

After reading his analysis, countless people below also understood Gen Urobuchi and the characters in the game.

"It's really a sad and tearful story that makes people sigh. I didn't expect that every character has such a moving story and fate. ”

"This is simply a symphony of fate. Gen Urobuchi is really a god. His writing skills are so strong that he writes every character so well.

I like every character very much.

Including those bosses of Haoyue.

Emperor Winifred must have been a very handsome and capable monarch when he was young. Even when he was old, he still had good fighting power.

General Rex, who defended the Ice Wolf Fortress and the western border of Haoyue for more than 20 years, this spirit, courage and wisdom, if written down, must be another wonderful story..."

"The most sympathetic and helpless person should be the male protagonist Erwin, right? His life experience is pitiful, but in the end he found that the benefactor who saved his life was also his enemy.

To be honest, when I was reading the history of the kingdom, I really hated the rulers of Xingchen and Haoyue to the bone.

Just to make war machines, human nature can be destroyed to this extent.

Queen Belinda, although many people think it is hard to hate her, but I will never forgive her for making demon warriors by any means.

She had no choice but to do this in order to kill the [God] and prevent the birth of the demon egg.

However, this itself is a shameful thing.

Belinda's hands are stained with blood, which is an indisputable fact.

So, I still have to say that Belinda's going to hell is her destiny.

Deserve it! "

…

"Have you noticed that there are actually different endings in this game?"

A player named [I can only chop, chop, chop] posted a strategy post saying, "

In this game, when encountering Iris' attack, if the male protagonist Erwin chooses to ignore the truth and goes back to help the queen defend the city, then after repelling Iris's army, a new story will unfold. plot.

In this plot, the male protagonist Erwin will pacify the world for Queen Belinda, and finally the Star Kingdom will unify the entire continent.

Of course, after this, Queen Belinda will die in the final battle against Iris, but for Elivera, the ending has not changed, it is still death.

Because the whole world no longer needs the devil's egg, she has no value and meaning in existence.

It is impossible for humans to allow her existence, so Elivera chooses to be killed by the male protagonist.

Then Erwin sat on the throne.

This is the star ending.

It can be regarded as a continuation of the dreams of Elivera and Belinda, but it is the male protagonist Erwin who finally becomes the king of the continent.

Then in the second ending, if you do not participate in the entire Iris military operation against the Kingdom of Stars, and do not investigate the truth of the matter, but choose to follow the established plan and take Princess Elivera north, all the way across the Three Kingdoms Border, go to the inaccessible North Island.

There, you and Elivera will live a happy life in the world of ice and snow.

This is probably the best ending in the game.

It’s just that the end of this ending leaves a trace of suspense for the players——

Many years later, a young man came here by chance and witnessed the tombstones of Erwin and Elivera.

But there were no bodies inside.

This is also a natural thing. Erwin must have turned into a demon after his death. I don’t know if he is dead or not.

Elivera will basically turn into a tree, blossom and bear fruit...

During the game, the boy looked up and happened to see a towering tree on the North Island, which was covered with strange fruits.

The game is actually over at this point, but this ending implies two things:

First, Elivera has turned into a tree.

Second, demon eggs still exist, but it is not known whether these demon eggs can give birth to new gods.

The world will enter the next cycle, and the power of demons will return to the world.

The final ending is the one that most people play. Although it is very tragic, Elivera is willing to die for humans, for the people she loves deeply, and for Erwin.

Perhaps for her, dying in the hands of the person she loves is the happiest way. "

…

A netizen named [Global Lizhongke] said: "You are all too superficial and have completely failed to understand the anti-war essence conveyed in this game.

Let me change it up and replace some nouns in the game, and you will understand.

Demon: Impure Weapon.

Demon Spawn: The raw material for making impure weapons.

God: The scientist who created these terrible weapons.

Is it just like the real world?

In order not to be destroyed by other countries, it is very necessary to retain important and powerful deterrent weapons. This is also what Queen Belinda does.

If possible, who doesn't want there to be no war in this world?

Sometimes you really have to make a choice when you have no choice but to make it.

Gen Urobuchi actually provides a game plot that is very in-depth and worthy of people’s reflection.

In this game, we can go deep into the dual identities of victims and perpetrators of war to think about the same question——

Why does war exist?

What has war brought to mankind?

I like what Queen Belinda said very much. She said, "War is an atrocity committed by one country to plunder another country and to destroy the other country."

What she admitted was that it was an atrocity.

definitely.

War must be related to violence.

Then it will naturally cause pain due to violence.

However, how to end the war, how to achieve peace, how to build a better tomorrow so that all human beings can be happy...

This is a historical problem, and it may also be a knot that can never be opened.

However, in terms of feeling and thinking through the game, I think this is where "The Witcher: Demon Egg" succeeds.

I also like this kind of game.

Not only is it fun, it is also at the top of the industry in all aspects.

At the same time, thinking and depth can lead us to see the world from a higher and further place, even if the story of the game is illusory and does not exist in the real world.

However, it does not prevent us from using it to understand the world and feel the reality in which we live.

Thank you pokeni,

Thank you Xuan Xuanyuan.

Thank you Hidetaka Miyazaki for making such an excellent game.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. "

…

…

It had been almost a week since the game was released. In the morning, as soon as Hidetaka Miyazaki arrived at the company, he found Akane Ayase directing the security guards to carry large and small cardboard boxes into the warehouse.

When she saw Hidetaka Miyazaki, Akane Ayase smiled happily at him:

"Congratulations, as a new producer, you have received so many blades."

Hidetaka Miyazaki's mouth twitched twice, not knowing whether to be happy or cry.

"These guys don't know what love is at all."

The faint voice of Kyon came from the side.

Ayase Akane rolled her eyes at him, "You better shut up."

"You received the most blades this time, I am willing to call you the King of Blades."

The corners of Kyon's mouth twitched twice, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to use.

……

Thank you everyone
