Chapter 688 The First Decision

Chapter 698 The first choice

The game console was not plugged in, but there was already a signal on the screen.

The screen was filled with black, and a line of white light flashed from the middle position, and finally spread from top to bottom.

Like a curtain being opened backwards, a strange scene finally appeared.

On this small screen, Ji Li saw a particularly familiar room.

In this small apartment of less than 30 square meters, the ceiling is very low, which makes people feel breathless and oppressive.

The decoration is in an old-fashioned style, with rustic dark green paint covering the walls. Many of the wall coverings have peeled off, revealing their true gray color.

Luggage, furniture, and small items make the already small room look even more crowded.

This is Ruru's home.

The scene didn't change, and the theme didn't change either, but this time Ji Li noticed the difference at first glance.

Because this house looks cleaner than last time.

For example, the cracks on the wall have been covered up with dark green wallpaper.

Furthermore, the shoe rack at the door is no longer the open type, but a sliding door type.

The most commonly used pairs of women's sneakers, one large and one small, are still there, but there is an additional pair of men's leather shoes.

The biggest change is the wooden board above the entrance.

There used to be a portrait of Ruru's father, and it was an overexposed photo.

But this time it was completely different.

Just like what Ji Li saw in the preview nightmare, there was a normal photo.

Ordinary man, ordinary portrait.

It can be said that although the room is still this room, it has more smoke and smoke and traces of life.

The only doubt is the replacement of the portrait.

This is the first scene of the game. Ji Li subconsciously took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

But before he could take out his cigarette, the game console in front of him suddenly started buzzing as if something had malfunctioned.

Ji Li stood up and was about to go behind the game console to check, but he didn't move yet.

The world in front of him began to become hazy, and a thin mist seemed to appear in this room that was mainly green and supplemented by color.

His vision gradually turned into illusion, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a veil.

This sudden change caught Ji Li off guard. When he took a step back, he found that the field he was in had suddenly changed.

That playroom is gone forever.

When he took a step back, his calf hit something hard and made a "crunch" sound.

Ji Li turned around and saw an old wooden stool.

The floor where the wooden stool is located is no longer the colorful floral tiles of the game room, but a white floor tile with black spots.

Ji Li took a deep breath, raised his head and looked around blankly.

But he was surprised to find that he had left the game room and entered Ruru's home!

The environment he is currently in is right at the doorstep of his home.

The small wooden bench is also next to the shoe rack, for sitting and changing shoes.

Ji Li found that he was still holding the cigarette case and lighter in his hands. He cautiously took a step forward and crossed the portrait.

The hard floor tiles, the aroma of food filling the space, and the breeze coming from the window.

Everything is so real and cannot be faked.

This feeling made Ji Li very stunned.

Because he has obviously been pulled into the screen displayed on the game console.

In other words, he is now a real person in the game world.

This situation was once what he had envisioned in advance for the game mode.

But the rules narrated by the "female voice" clearly indicate that he should act as a simple game controller.

what on earth is it?

…

"Ruru, try the chicken wings made by mom. This is your favorite."

"Thank you, Mom! Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, why did we cook so many dishes today?"

"Silly boy, Dad, I paid a bonus today, so of course I want to treat the whole family to something good."

"Not only that, mom has found a new job. Today is a double blessing!"

…

Ji Li's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the kitchen.

That's where the aroma came from, and that's where the conversation just came from.

It is not difficult to tell from these words that there are three people eating in the kitchen at the moment.

Ruru, Ruru’s mother, Ruru’s father.

This is a family of three with average economic conditions, having a simple and happy conversation at the dinner table.

But that's not right...

Ji Li frowned and turned back, looking dimly at the altar table above his head.

Ruru’s father has been dead for a long time.

"Could it be that the scenes in the game are from the past timeline?"

He stopped staying and walked towards the kitchen, quietly opening the ajar green wooden door.

At the end of this even narrower kitchen, even a single person has to pass sideways.

Ji Li saw a simple wooden table placed on the balcony.

As he saw, a family of three were sitting around the table, eating and chatting with warm smiles on their faces.

From this position at the door, he could just see the faces of Ruru and Ruru's mother.

Of course, the other party can also see him.

But it was obvious that Ji Li's existence had been erased. The two men had glanced at him several times, but there was nothing unusual.

Knowing this, Ji Li boldly pushed the door open and entered.

Because he wanted to see if Ruru's father, who had died long ago, was the person in the portrait.

…

"Ruru, try the chicken wings made by mom. This is your favorite."

"Thank you, Mom! We haven't eaten meat for a long time. Why did you cook so many dishes today?"

"Silly child, Dad, today..."

...

Just as Ji Li approached, the three of them spoke again.

But what they said was exactly the same as what they heard a few minutes ago.

Ji Li frowned and carefully observed the actions of Ru Ru and Ru Ru's mother, and found that they spoke very vividly and naturally.

There was no sense of lag or repetition at all.

"This is just a scene in the game, a gear stuck in a machine that keeps looping."

Ji Li suddenly realized that everything he saw was actually a "script" designed in advance.

These actors are constantly performing this clip in a loop.

After realizing this, he had no scruples and rushed forward in a few steps.

When he passed Ru Ru's father's position, he finally saw the man's appearance, but he took a breath again.

Because Ru Ru's father's face was blank.

There were no facial features, no expression, just like a piece of white paper with no details drawn on his face.

What was strange was that his blank face kept looking back, as if he was looking at his wife and children.

"Dad, I got a bonus, so of course I have to treat the whole family to a good meal."

He should have been saying everything with a smile, and from his tone, we could tell that his face must be filled with a happy expression.

But he had no face at all!

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"

Ji Li's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a loud alarm, and he subconsciously raised his head and looked across the wall into the distance.

There, was Ru Ru's bedroom.

The same scene came again.

In the preview nightmare, he saw Ru Ru also with a blank face, playing a handheld game console.

And on her desk, there was a human head alarm clock, simulating the alarm sound with a human voice.

This time, it was exactly the same.

Ji Li ran out of the kitchen quickly, and the conversation of the family of three beside him gradually became weaker, but it kept looping.

He lifted the curtain of the bedroom door, carefully held it in his hand and observed it.

The beads on the curtain still looked normal, and did not appear to be the weird situation of turning into human eyes in nightmares.

But the human head alarm clock actually appeared on the desk.

It was opening its mouth, constantly simulating sounds, and beating non-stop with the two ends of the broken section.

It seemed that it was really just an alarm clock, although it had a special shape.

Ji Li looked around the bedroom, but did not see anything special.

Obviously, everything was related to the alarm clock's time.

And the conversation of the family of three next to it was still in a continuous loop, as if it had become the background sound.

Noise, chaos, depression and horror enveloped the whole house.

Ji Li slowly approached, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his palm, and touched the human head alarm clock.

But just when his fingers were about to touch the ends of the human head's hair.

His hand stopped, and all the sounds disappeared, as if the world was suspended.

In front of Ji Li's eyes, five lines of blood-colored fonts appeared out of thin air, polluting the entire sight.

For the first time, the choice came.

…

A: Press the alarm clock to stop it from making noises and continue to observe the room;

B: Take it away directly and continue to observe the room;

C: Ignore it and continue to observe the room;

D: Smash the alarm clock and burn it;

Please choose carefully, this choice will affect the overall direction of the plot!!!
