Chapter 433 The plot is easy to understand
Although you can’t see your appearance even if you put on a hat to cover your face, for a face-picker who pursues the beauty of the character, you have to wear such an ancient face. Playing games with a god's face is still quite uncomfortable.
Zhuge Jun wants to pinch again, but the game mechanism does not allow it.
"Blood of Lies" also automatically archives in real time and cannot selectively return to a previous time.
And the game CG on the screen continues to advance, so Zhuge Jun can only continue to look down in confusion.
The character looked at his face in the basin in silence for a long time, as if even he himself could no longer recognize his own face.
The next second, various pictures began to flash through the meditation basin.
These pictures are obviously scenes from the game. They all have distinct characteristics, including majestic churches, gloomy villages, academies filled with scrolls and books, and workshops full of discarded dolls. , dirty garbage disposal sites, chaotic towns, etc.
It’s just that when these scenes flash by, it can be seen that they are played backwards, as if the character saw what happened to him through the basin.
Not only that, Zhuge Jun also noticed that this memory started with a town and ended with a town.
Because the style of each scene is relatively distinct, this is still very clear. Especially this majestic church in the town looks majestic and impressive.
Of course, what Zhuge Jun experienced was obviously only a very small part of the church scene. If we infer from the situation in the picture, the entire city is actually closely connected with this church, and even Think of the city as an extension of the various areas of the church.
“Does that mean the town + church should be a huge box garden?
“It will be used at the beginning of the game, and it will be used at the end of the game. ”
The reuse of this kind of scene is still very common in similar games. For the purpose of saving resources and shortening development time, manufacturers will reuse the large box garden levels in the game. This is a very common situation. In a clever way, as long as the level design is excellent, not only will the player not feel that the designer is fooling him, but they will also have a refreshing feeling when they come back for the second time.
More importantly, as the scene in the basin continued to recede, Zhuge Jun saw that his character's face was also changing!
The distorted and ugly face of an ancient god quickly turned upside down, as if it had been unconsciously pulled to the maximum size and gradually returned to its proper position. In the end, the face of the ancient god was also fixed in the place where Zhuge Jun first pinched it. face.
“Oh? That’s it!
“The face pinching system of this game is related to the gameplay!
“Although similar settings have appeared in other games, it is quite interesting to combine this function with the background of Cthulhu.”
Zhuge Jun was still struggling with the character's face at first, but now he no longer has to worry about it, because it has been restored to its original state, and it has been proven that this is part of the game mechanism.
Many games have similar mechanisms. For example, the player may become a zombie or a wandering spirit for some reason, and the original human appearance can be restored through special props; or some wrinkles can be added to the original appearance of the character. And scars can be used as the image of the character when he gets older.
There is obviously a similar mechanism in "Blood of Lies", but the details and functions are different.
In this game, it is not just to add a "living corpse filter" to the player to complete the change in appearance, but to use the face pinching system to change the size and position of certain parts. , color, etc. are randomly and significantly adjusted, so "infinite disfigurement" can be achieved.
That is, from the handsome boy to the face of an ancient god, the whole process of disfigurement can be clearly seen.
But here comes the question, what is the use of specializing in such a function?
And there are many players who like to make fun of the ancient gods. How to deal with these players?
Zhuge Jun cannot guess the brain circuit of this game for the time being, so he can only watch it while playing.
When the scene in the CG returned to the town and the character's face returned to a normal person, the sound of a bell seemed to come from a very far away place. Along with the sound of the bell, the originally dark sky seemed to become a little brighter, and even a little fish belly white appeared in the distance, giving people the illusion that the sun was about to rise.
But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that it is not actually fish belly white, but more like the sunset glow of the sun that is about to set.
At the same time, the squeaking sound of the carriage gradually reached my ears. In addition, there were the sounds of the friction of the axle, the sound of the wheels colliding with the ground, and the sound of the gas lamp shaking on the carriage...
A car The horseless carriage drove through the slightly bumpy stone road in the remaining light of the setting sun, heading towards the distant town.
When the carriage passes by the camera, you can see through the window that the character Zhuge Jun pinched is lying on it with a pale face, his eyes closed, and he seems to be suffering great pain. . In addition, you can see that his left arm is empty.
What Zhuge Jun is particularly concerned about is this carriage.
It looks like a luxurious carriage like those in Western movies and television works, but it does not rely on horses as power.
In fact, in the real Victorian era, Britain had the world's most advanced automobile manufacturing technology. The appearance of early Daimler cars had something in common with horse-drawn carriages.
In the world of "Blood of Lies", because the energy that drives the carriage has become the essence of impure blood, and there is incredible puppet mechanical technology that transcends the times, there is no need to The car retains an overly complex engine structure, which makes it look more like a traditional carriage.
Seeing this, Zhuge Jun had a little question.
He clearly saw the energy device on the carriage, which was a cylindrical jar located on both sides of the vehicle. It was also transparent, and it was obvious that it seemed to be some kind of special crystal. But according to the few plots of "Blood of Lies" currently known, these essences or crystals are condensed from unclean blood. Could it be that at this time, humans have already openly used human blood as energy?
What's more, this world consumes so much essence, how can it be supplied by human blood alone?
This seems to be an unreasonable and inconsistent place in terms of plot, but Zhuge Jun didn’t think much about it. Maybe there will be patches as the plot progresses.
“It is absolutely a wise decision for you to come here. As we all know, Charlton is the main prosthetic production center in the world today. The doll prostheses we produce are not only enough to completely replace your original arms, but also You can even do many things that you would have never thought of!
“And the price is affordable enough!
“Not only that, during the process of installing the puppet prosthetic limbs for you, we will also provide you with a free "blood therapy" service. This service can not only strengthen your body, but also remove the toxins in your body. potential diseases
"In short, we greatly admire your meritorious service as a professional soldier in the colony, and please trust us. As the best medical team in the entire city of Charlton, we will also complete a perfect prosthetic surgery for you."< br>
The scene at this time is a bit like a first-person perspective. The protagonist of the game seems to be lying on a special operating table, while a doctor-looking person is beside him and intimately introducing the details of this service.
Even the operating table in this world is unique. Although it retains the general architectural style of the real Victorian era, it is not as crude and filthy, and it also has some technological elements, such as surgery. The shadowless lamp on the stage allows you to see the complex mechanical structure.
After the doctor finished the introduction, he took a beautiful puppet prosthetic leg from the side and attached it to the left arm of the character in the game.
The screen began to shake violently, as if the protagonist was suffering from severe pain, but his body was tightly bound to the hospital bed, so he could not do anything.
As the blood in the infusion bottle continues to drip, the protagonist's vision becomes increasingly blurred, and eventually becomes completely black.
After a while, the black screen ended and the protagonist finally woke up completely after not knowing how long he had been asleep.
When he rolled over and got out of bed, he found that the originally neat operating room had become messy and empty.
......
“This time is good, I actually understood the plot as soon as I started!
"Ni Tiantian has regressed, and Mr. Gu has also regressed, hey!"
Zhuge Jun is even a little proud.
You must know that the last similar game in Nitian was "Ascension". At that time, I was completely confused when playing it. Let alone the beginning of the game, the player could not read the plot after playing for nearly ten hours. It feels so confusing, and the constant switching between the two worlds almost drives the player crazy.
In comparison, the beginning of "Blood of Lies" is much clearer.
The protagonist is a soldier, or mercenary, who lost an arm in a battle in the colony.
And the place he came to, which is what the doctor calls Charlton City, can basically be regarded as one of the most developed cities in the world. It not only has top-notch doll manufacturing technology, but also has blood therapy as the representative. high level of medical care.
Although the process of installing a puppet prosthetic leg may seem painful, it can be relieved through blood therapy.
When the operation is completed, the protagonist is no longer a disabled person, but can once again be active and active on the battlefield.
Just waiting for the protagonist to wake up, something very bad seems to have happened.
This is a bit like the plot in some zombie movies: the protagonist falls asleep during surgery. As a result, an earthquake suddenly breaks out during the process, causing the zombie virus to leak. In the chaos, the medical staff go to take refuge, and then the protagonist Was left behind.
When I woke up, I was just confused.
“Where did this come from? Is it still in China?”
That’s almost the feeling.
“Okay, according to the general situation, something very serious must have happened in this city, such as an earthquake, a zombie outbreak, a puppet rebellion, or a conspiracy by a mysterious organization. It’s all possible.
“But that doesn’t matter, because I only know that I am going to kill everyone! ”
Zhuge Jun geared up and controlled the character to leave the clinic's operating room and walk outside.
