Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 33: Rational Collapse (4700 words)
A low, oppressive sound effect rang out, as if something dangerous was approaching, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.

"Holy crap, the music changed! Something's coming!"

At that moment, accompanied by eerie music, a chilling "clucking" sound rang out.

No one knew what the sound was; it was like the sound of water being pumped from a dry well—dry, harsh, and gave everyone in the live stream goosebumps.

Including Brother Akaishi, he now only felt a chill, and was overwhelmed by immense panic and pressure.

Finally, someone in the live stream couldn't take it anymore and typed in the chat, saying they were leaving because they couldn't bear to watch anymore, the voice was too awful, too creepy, and so on.

Brother Akashi didn't want to stay a second longer, but since he was already here, would he miss out on a few dollars if he just left?
So, despite the pressure, he looked back, intending to take one last look before leaving.

suddenly!

The eerie "cluck...cluck...cluck" sound suddenly drew closer!

Akashi instinctively turned his head to look, and suddenly, from the darkness, a long-haired female ghost with twisted limbs and covered in blood crawled out!
That pale, swollen, and bloodied face rapidly approached Brother Chishi!

At that moment, everyone in the live stream went blank.

"Holy crap—!!!!"

Chishi was so frightened that he screamed in terror.

The live stream was filled with wailing and howling:
"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Aaaaaaah! Protect me with bullet comments! Protect me with bullet comments!!!"

"Holy crap, I didn't even have time to close my eyes, damn it!"

"Quick! Call an ambulance! I'm dying, I need to be resuscitated!"

Immediately, the entire live stream room descended into brief chaos and a flurry of screams and comments.

Brother Akaishi was so frightened that he lost his mind and scrambled out of the closet, using both hands and feet to tumble and crawl.

His face slammed solidly against the tatami mat with a dull thud.

Face slam! Invincible!
Thankfully, this is just a game; in reality, you'd definitely need some liniment for bruises and sprains.

"It's Kayako! That face is definitely Kayako's!"

"This family really did turn into ghosts! Damn it, run!"

Akashi quickly looked up, his vision blurred, and his sanity dropped rapidly once again.

Once the vision cleared, I saw dense clumps of black hair emerging from the closet, as if they were alive, and instantly climbing up the walls and ceiling of the room.

The blood-covered female ghost Kayako slowly crawled down her hair.

"Cluck...cluck...cluck"

"Cluck...cluck...cluck"

The female ghost continued to emit eerie noises, her cold, dead fish eyes instantly locking onto Brother Akashi. Her pupils were empty, yet filled with endless resentment and malice.

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Chishi felt a chill run from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and his blood almost froze.

He panicked and scrambled to his feet like a startled rabbit, brushing aside the strands of hair that were hanging down in front of his eyes and rushing toward the door.

That speed was probably the fastest he had ever run in his life; he wished he had two more legs.

He stumbled out of the room, almost collapsing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Just as he was about to rush downstairs, a chilling voice suddenly rang out from downstairs.

I'm a little busy, I'll be there in a bit.
I'm a little busy, I'll be there in a bit.
[]
[]
I'm here now!
Then, footsteps sounded from downstairs.

Akashi-ge immediately froze. That voice... it was that chinless female student ghost!

He suddenly leaned forward and looked down.

In the shadows, a figure dressed in a sailor uniform slowly walked up the stairs.

Black stockings stepped on the wooden steps, leaving one shocking, blood-red footprint after another.

Only at this moment did he truly see the ghost's appearance.

It raised its head, staring directly at Brother Akashi, its face pale and swollen, covered in blood, and lifeless.

The chin was completely missing, leaving only a bloody, mangled hole.

Fresh blood was dripping down the horrifying gap, staining her shirt and skirt red, and leaving sticky bloodstains on the stairs she had walked on.

"My goodness!"

Akashi's vision blurred again. He yelled and instinctively ran back.

As it turned out, Kayako slowly crawled out of the ground in an extremely contorted and bizarre posture.

"Holy crap! A pincer attack from both sides!"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die, brothers! I'm doomed! I'm going to die!"

"Quickly send some gifts to save the streamer's life! That 3000 RMB luxury rocket is pretty good, brothers, save me!"

Feeling his sanity level dropping again, Akashi was both afraid and swindling.

Of course, the audience didn't hear it.

Now, with Saeki Kyudai missing his chin in front and Kayako crawling behind, he's become the meat in the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and can't escape at all!
He looked around, and suddenly his gaze settled on the closed door next to the stairwell.

There were only two rooms on the second floor, which he hadn't opened before.

During his previous exploration, he first arrived at Kayako's master bedroom based on the sound of the zither.

As a result, we didn't have time to see the secondary bedroom near the stairwell.

But now, surrounded by ghosts and monsters, this room has become his only way out, his only hope!
"Fight!"

At the critical moment, Brother Chishi shoved him aside.

Without even checking what was behind the door, he rushed in, slammed the door shut behind him, and then held it firmly in place.

Almost the instant he closed the door, Kayako's chilling, eerie voice, like a death knell, echoed from the door.

“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

Then, a deafening banging on the door came from outside.

bang -- bang -- bang --

bang -- bang -- bang --

Instantly, the entire house began to shake violently.

As if an earthquake had struck, dust fell from the walls and the light bulbs overhead swayed precariously.

Brother Akaishi pressed his shoulder firmly against the door, not daring to relax for a moment.

"I'll hold on! I must hold on!"

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely, each second feeling like an eternity.

Finally, the banging on the door gradually subsided until it disappeared completely, and the room returned to silence.

"Huff...huff...ha..."

Akashi-san was panting heavily, as if he had escaped death.

But he wasn't actually tired; he just did it to feel like he had just been trying to survive.

However, one wave has not settled, and one wave has risen again.

A childish voice, tinged with a slightly electromagnetic tone, came from behind him.
[Father magnet Father magnet]
[Where are you, Father?]
Akashi's face immediately froze.

"Damn it. What is it this time?"

"After my sanity level dropped, I'm encountering ghosts way too frequently!"

He swallowed hard, slowly turned his head, stood up, and walked inside.

Inside, the bedroom is decorated in a childlike style, typical of elementary school students.

Posters, dolls, yellow hats, and backpacks were all neatly arranged.

The sound I just heard came from the cassette player on my desk.

But in bed.
Akashi was stunned at first glance.

On the bed lay the headless corpse of a little boy!
Blood stained half the bed and the upper body of the clothes. Blood was still flowing from the severed neck, which seemed to have been cut recently. Small pieces of flesh were scattered all over the bed.

Even the corpse would occasionally convulse and twitch.

"This, this, this"

Akashi was completely stunned. Then, his vision blurred again, and his rationality diminished once more.

Before he could react, the headless child's corpse sat up instantly, its upper body facing Akashi-ge as if staring at him, which immediately made Akashi-ge's legs go weak.

At the same time, the tape recorder on the desk started playing a childish voice again.

I'm scared.
[Come keep me company, okay?]
[Hurry up and click! Hurry up and click!]
The next second, another female voice came from the tape recorder, a voice he was very familiar with.

[I'm coming now. Magnetic]
[I'm coming now. Magnetic]
It's that female ghost without a chin!

He felt a shiver run through his body, and his scalp tingled.

Chishi didn't dare stay there any longer. He immediately turned around and ran away, not caring whether there was a ghost outside the door.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the door blocked the ghost just now; that was merely the behavior logic set up by the developers.

Who knows if the ghosts outside will break down the door next, especially since there's a headless corpse inside. If we don't run, we're just waiting to die!

In this situation, ghosts are everywhere, so what difference does it make where we go?

There's plenty of space outside; there might be room to maneuver! But being trapped in this small room is like being caught in a trap—it's a dead end!
Let's go downstairs first!
At this moment, a game prompt appeared in front of me.

[Your sanity is on the verge of collapse. The light can no longer provide you with a sense of security. You must take a sedative to regain your composure.]

"Sedatives?"

"I've been in the game for so long and I don't even know what this drug looks like. Where am I supposed to get it?"

"Forget it, let's get out of here first."

After saying that, he rushed to the door and yanked it open.

The next second, he experienced dizziness again.

But this time, once vision cleared, the whole world was different.
The traditional Japanese houses have disappeared, replaced by gruesome and terrifying flesh and blood.

The ceiling was densely covered with countless rotating eyeballs of varying sizes, all staring intently at him as if he were being monitored, cold and ruthless.

Beneath their feet, thick, gnarled veins suddenly emerged from the floor, crisscrossing and tangling like electrical wires.

Even the stairs were made up of countless broken limbs, severed hands, severed feet, and even some indistinguishable fragments pieced together haphazardly.

The door he had just rushed out of had now transformed into a huge maw covered in sharp serrations, opening and closing as if ready to tear everything apart at any moment.

Even more terrifying is the wall.

Countless half-naked, twisted human bodies were forcibly embedded in walls of flesh and blood, with only their upper bodies or a pained face showing.

They roared in agony, their cries piercing and unpleasant, waving their arms and clawing futilely at the fleshy walls, seemingly trying to break free from this hellish prison.

At that moment, Akashi felt as if he had entered some kind of internal organ world, and was shocked by what he saw.

"Is this what it looks like when you lose all your sanity? Good heavens. It's even more outrageous than the kitchen scene in the actual gameplay demo!"

"Anyone who can play games in this kind of environment must be this (thumbs up)."

Chishige understands now why tranquilizers are needed. With such malicious and gory scenes, even if the streamer can keep up, the audience can't stand watching.

I have to say, the developers have a really wild imagination. I'm impressed.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were stunned by the scene and started typing in the chat.

"Holy crap! What is this thing?!"

"Holy crap, have I been transported to hell?"

"Good heavens! Is this the world you see after your sanity collapses? It's so twisted and disgusting."

"What the hell is this?!"

"This art style is so ahead of its time! The budget must be burning through!"

"It's fine, except the slightly chubby eyes remind me that I really need to find a few more bottles of tranquilizers."

"Different models and renderings for the same scene? This technical skill... is being used in a strange way!"

"Hang in there, Akaishi! I'm going to throw up for a bit!"

"I'm starting to find chinless female ghosts and headless children quite attractive."

Just as Akashi was taking in the bizarre and wonderful new world before him, a familiar yet eerie voice suddenly rang out.

“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

Here we go again! That female ghost Kayako is here!
Chishi's heart skipped a beat. His previous "appreciation" of the game design vanished instantly, replaced by a chill that ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a huge abscess appeared on the fleshy wall not far away, and it continued to swell and writhe.

Then, with a "plop" sound, it was torn apart from the middle, and the female ghost Kayako burst out!
She lay sprawled on the floor, covered in nauseating blood, her hair disheveled, her face splattered with thick veins. She looked up, her dead fish eyes, visible through her hair, fixed intently on Akaishi-san.

The next second, before he could react, Kayako used all four limbs to crawl towards Akaishi in a twisted and bizarre posture. Her speed was astonishing, and her joints made a "crackling" sound, which instantly made everyone's scalp tingle!

"Fuck!"

Akashi was so startled that he jumped up on the spot, no longer caring about appreciating the bizarre art style around him.

Only one thought remained in my mind: Run! Run as fast as you can!
Find that damn tranquilizer and bring your senses back!

He simply couldn't bear the scene he witnessed after his sanity collapsed!

In a panic, Akaishi rushed toward the stairs, but after only two steps, a severed arm suddenly grabbed at him, causing him to lose his footing and tumble down, crashing heavily against the corridor wall.

Before he could recover, the half-corpses embedded in the wall seemed to smell fresh blood and flesh, and immediately began to wail and stir.

Several cold arms suddenly reached out and pressed him firmly against the wall, rendering him unable to move.

"Holy crap! Not again!?"

"In the last chapter, I was also captured by those four psychic NPCs and couldn't escape. Now I've been captured again and can't escape! Damn it!"

Akashi struggled desperately, but then the game popped up a notification.

Perhaps the beam of a flashlight could disperse them.

Flashlight?

I haven't seen any flashlights yet!

Did I miss something? Or is this game something I need to explore first?
Anyway, it's too late now.

The female ghost Kayako has slowly climbed down the stairs.

The corpses in these walls were incredibly strong; he was as if welded to the wall, unable to run away or escape.

Suddenly, a sense of despair welled up in my heart.

"Guys, is the streamer really going to send this this time?!"

Akaishi was pinned against the wall, forced to watch as Kayako slowly climbed down the stairs.

The staircase made of severed limbs was horrifying enough, but Kayako crawling on it amplified the horror many times over, creating a scene straight out of hell!
“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

“Cluck…cluck…cluck…”

The female ghost let out her signature low growl, her venomous eyes fixed on Brother Akaishi.

This made the latter tremble all over and feel terrified.

"No, big sister, please call me big sister, spare my life, spare my life!"

"I'm a streamer, can you give me some face? There are over 200,000 viewers watching! Let me go find some medicine, I promise, next time I'll take some medicine before my sanity completely fails!"

However, the female ghost ignored his pleas and continued to crawl at a slow and suffocating pace, getting closer step by step.

Finally, she arrived in front of him.

Kayako slowly raised her head, her blood-covered, deathly pale face almost touching Akaishi's nose. He could feel her icy breath; ah, the smell of death.
The next second, a pair of cold, stiff hands suddenly grabbed his head with astonishing force, as if they were going to crush his skull.

Immediately afterwards, Kayako's normally open mouth suddenly opened at an incredible angle, her chin almost touching her chest, large enough to hold a basketball!
"Holy crap, is she going to devour me?!"

Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, Akashi was immediately startled.

"Big sister! Let's talk this out! We can discuss the script, talk about life..."

"Holy crap! Production team! You bunch of JD.com bastards..."

However, before she could finish speaking, under the horrified gazes of more than 200,000 viewers in the live stream, Kayako suddenly swallowed Akaishi's head whole.

The world was plunged into darkness.

In the live stream, apart from Akashi's final desperate scream, all that could be heard was the chilling sound of chewing and an endless black screen…

P.S.: The Ju-on arc is finally finished. I'm really ashamed. Originally, the outline included a female streamer's trial gameplay. Her main role was to explore clues related to Mukoff and Silent Hill. All the details were done, but due to the limited number of chapters, I couldn't include it. I'll have to add it in the next game. The next game won't need a horror movie.
