I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

These words should have been ordinary, but to Zheng Li, they gave off a chilling feeling.

Perhaps it was because the door was too realistic, but when he placed his hand on it, the rough surface of the wood gave him an extremely profound tactile experience. He could even feel the rhythm of a heartbeat coming from behind the door.

crunch--

The door emitted a subtle rustling sound, as if it could be pushed open at any moment.

Suddenly, Zheng Li felt something pat his shoulder.

But in this empty universe, what can take a picture of itself?

He turned around abruptly and found nothing behind him.

The sensation of being struck appeared once again.

Zheng Li even heard a call that seemed to come from distant stars; upon closer listening, the voice sounded like his own name.

“…Zheng Li…Zheng Li…”

He felt a chill run down his spine; this game was so eerie.

However, Zheng Li soon realized the problem.

He hurriedly followed the instructions and exited the main interface.

In an instant, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

Zheng Li raised his hand to take off his helmet, turned around, and found that it was his roommate who had returned after finishing his meal.

"You scared me to death."

"My roommate said, then looked at Zheng Li's helmet with curiosity."

"Is this the helmet you bought? It's so powerful!"

"I've just started setting it up."

Zheng Li replied with a single sentence.

He looked at the helmet in his hand and sensed something was wrong.

I didn't realize it when I was in the game, but now, looking back, the scene and the realism felt like I had actually traveled through time.

what is this?

Is this a game?

This game is so realistic!

Zheng Li immediately thought of The Matrix and the brain implant.

This technology is just like something out of a movie.

What is a groundbreaking invention? This is a groundbreaking invention!

"I'm sorry, Director Lu, I misunderstood you."

Zheng Li couldn't help but silently apologize to Lu Ban.

At this moment, he finally understood why those who tried the game were silent, and why there were so few reviews after the game's release.

Because everyone is so engrossed in it, they simply don't have time to post comments.

If it were Zheng Li himself, he put himself in Zheng Li's shoes and thought about it. If he had participated in the trial and experienced such a game, he probably wouldn't say much, because even he himself wouldn't believe it if he did.

That review that was criticized by countless people online turned out to be the real truth.

He even toned it down a bit.

Zheng Li could say that he would be happy to play in Lu Ban's equipment all day long, even if he had to swim and run in it!

His roommate turned on the computer and started playing games. Zheng Li thought for a moment, then climbed into bed to avoid being disturbed by others.

Donning the helmet, Zheng Li once again entered the virtual world.

The update was complete, and he saw two other applications on the main interface besides the game.

One of the applications is a music player, and the other is a world scenery viewing app.

Zheng Li first clicked on the music player.

There were some songs in it, some classical and some modern pop. He found it a bit strange that such advanced equipment would still have such an old-fashioned music player.

He chose a classical piece of music.

The scenery around Zheng Li suddenly changed the next moment.

He found himself sitting in a soft chair in a large hall.

Zheng Li recognized it; this was Vienna's Golden Hall, and on the stage, an orchestra was preparing to perform.

In the vast concert hall, he was the only audience member at that moment.

As the conductor gave the signal, the violin began to play, and in an instant, Zheng Li's entire attention was drawn to the soaring music.

As cold as winter, as merciless as ice and snow, the melody came at Zheng Li like hail, striking his face and leaving him speechless.

When the song ended, Zheng Licai finally came to his senses.

"This isn't a music player, it's a complete reenactment of the live performance!"

He turned on another pop-rock song, this time in an underground dance hall, standing in front of the stage watching the rock singers perform.

It felt like I was actually there.

It wasn't just shocking, it was downright shocking.

Zheng Li once thought that this helmet could sell like hotcakes just by relying on this software!

This is an experience that no music lover can resist.

Nuclear power, wind power, peripheral sound cards—nothing beats this kind of live listening experience.

After leaving the music player, Zheng Li clicked on the world scenery app.

This software also surprised Zheng Li.

He can walk on the beach of a small island in the deep Pacific Ocean and feel the summer sun, and he can go to Antarctica and huddle together with penguins to keep warm in the cold wind. He can walk in the Notre Dame Cathedral, which has been burned down, with sunlight filtering through the stained glass. He can also call for love in the center of the desolate Ayers Rock in Australia.

Zheng Li then understood why the helmet needed wireless charging and why the player's playtime was limited.

Otherwise, he could have stayed inside all day, and he might have even developed kidney disease from holding in his urine!

This helmet is seriously toxic!

When Zheng Li took off his helmet to use the bathroom because of the battery, it was already past 1 a.m. His roommate was still playing the game and didn't even notice Zheng Li.

Looking at his classmates who were still playing games from the previous era, Zheng Li suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

He placed the helmet on the wireless charger, which, according to the instructions, would take at least thirty minutes to fully charge.

While waiting, Zheng Li felt a little hungry. Remembering that he hadn't eaten much for dinner, he made himself a bowl of instant noodles.

It's impossible for Zheng Li to sleep now; he's wide awake and just wants to wait for his battery to fully charge so he can re-enter that world.

Moreover, Zheng Li plans to go directly into the game this time. He wants to see what exactly the game "Summoning Night," which Lu Ban specially made for this device, is!

Chapter 676 Surviving until the end of the Night of Summoning 0/1

After finishing the bowl of pickled cabbage and beef noodles, which was probably left by an older woman, Zheng Li wiped his mouth.

"Holy crap, eating instant noodles in the middle of the night? You're really not human at all when it comes to doing things that aren't human!"

One of Zheng Lidao's roommates, who had just finished playing a game, smelled the odor and reprimanded him.

"If you're not convinced, then eat it too."

Zheng Li tidied up the trash, hurriedly returned to bed, put on his helmet, and once again entered that sea of ​​stars.

Soon, the gate to "The Night of the Summoning" appeared before him.

Zheng Li examined the door carefully; it felt real to the touch and had an eerie feel to it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Li suddenly felt a chill.

It wasn't something like hearing someone call my name or feeling a tap on my shoulder.

He just remembered something.

Lu Ban is a director who started out making horror films.

The horror movies he usually makes are terrifying enough just from the visuals and sound alone. Imagine if those movies were turned into virtual reality works, allowing people to immerse themselves in the film and explore it for themselves...

"Holy crap, this isn't just a haunted house, it's a complete haunted house!"

Zheng Li sighed.

He studied forensic medicine, so he had seen corpses before, but Lu Ban's movies were still quite scary. Zheng Li knew that corpses couldn't talk, but the terrifying things in Lu Ban's movies weren't corpses either!

Those insects, those writhing and twisting monsters, those gray-white, statue-like humans—they were terrifying, enough to drive one mad with madness at the mere sight of them.

If it could be explained by science, Zheng Li wouldn't be afraid. But those were things that defied common sense and were incomprehensible no matter how hard he tried, and they had an indelible impact on him.

If those who have not received education and whose feudal superstitious beliefs linger in their minds feel "awe" towards these things, then Zheng Li, who has received a complete education and has a good understanding of science, feels "indescribable" about these things.

Those things were neither idealistic or imaginary, nor could they be explained or analyzed by scientific theories. In Zheng Li's view, they were completely indescribable and beyond description.

However, curiosity overshadowed fear.

Zheng Li thought that no matter how outrageous it was, it was still a game after all. At worst, he could just pause and exit it. It couldn't possibly come out of the helmet and come after him, could it?

He pushed open that door.

crunch--

The sound of wood rubbing against each other rang in Zheng Li's ears again. He saw a burst of light inside the door, but he couldn't see what was inside. The light was like soap bubbles, scattering, bursting, and flowing endlessly.

Zheng Li stepped forward and entered the light.

When his vision was completely filled with light, Zheng Li saw some prompts appear before him.

For example, it has now become a "normal" experience state, which means that Zheng Li's physical perception will be mostly taken over by this helmet. He will not hear ordinary white noise from the outside world, and his actions in the game world will not affect his body in the real world.

This sounded a bit scary, but Zheng Li immediately opened the settings interface.

The experience status changed to "mild" again. He could vaguely hear his roommates playing games and yelling. This noise, which usually disturbed his sleep, actually made Zheng Li feel very at ease at this moment.
