First of all, I want to say that people who have been complaining that the foreshadowing is too long can really try to be more patient. There are many interesting clues in front of them. I

do n’t
know those techniques, just remember the relevant plot
.
White House (enter the game) go to the Japanese office (enter the a experience floor)
2 go to the big house (leave a peacefully and enter the b floor)

8 White House (Phone Ringing) (Death)
***
*** Everything in the male protagonist's mind comes
from the real world
, especially the fear and fear. Jing stayed alone #So I found the heroine when I saw all the couples around #So I had to talk to the little girl on the plane and the image of the little girl seemed to appear in the illusion afterwards (just guess I may be a little face blind ) This is a painting that appears when I hear a knock on the door in part 4⃣️ to open the door and it feels a bit like that little girl




#So when I was in the game company, I kept talking all the way
#So when I was in the game, I imagined that the black female employee (referred to as k) was in contact with him and talked with him all the time.
These also really created a silly and sweet image. Ah
, I feel that the male protagonist is really big in the whole process . The first foreshadowing of the combination of all parts:


1⃣️From the white room (entering the game) to the Japanese office (entering the a experience layer) , the image of the Japanese comes from the female protagonist. The Japanese image imagined by magazines and other second-hand image male protagonists is wearing a white t






And it can be noted that the image of the Japanese that appeared at this stage is different from the image of myself that appeared at the end.
There is a difference between the actions and the character traits displayed.
The Japanese introduction to the game should come from the information that the female protagonist told the male protagonist before.



At this time, because of the previous female lead's words, the male lead did something that killed him.
In order to take pictures of the heroine, I turned it on.


***

2⃣️ Go to the big house (leave a peacefully and enter the b floor)

In fact, the appearance of the big house and the image of peters (referred to as p) appearing in the next part have been seen by the male protagonist before entering the room
The road to the big house is the same as the picture
The interior of the house is always on the screen
Close-up of the same constructed fireplace as in the screen
image source of p


When entering the house to start the game, k gave the male lead headphones (in fact, he has already entered the game).
For reference, the male protagonist also wears headphones when he plays games on the plane.


In this part, the male protagonist reads a book, and the title of the book is raven, which happens to be the name of the bar where he meets the female protagonist.

***

If it is said that he has entered the game since he was in the white room,
and the male protagonist can feel the things in the room, he can eat biscuits, drink alcohol, and the alcohol appears in the monitor.
That is to say, what appears in the monitoring does not mean that it is objective and real.
What can appear: what is set in advance and cannot appear is: whether it appears in the monitoring or not
after the male protagonist’s processing , it does not exist in reality! That is, because of the God’s perspective brought by this monitor. , so that the audience has always thought that everything happened in the real world. *** 3⃣️Meet the spiders and asshole peters (enter the c-experience level and leave)






The spider came from the movie P on the plane. The male protagonist said that the
spider stepped on it before. After meeting P, the male protagonist walked over directly.

***

4⃣️Seeing the fusion of the heroine, spiders and peters (entering the d experience layer and leaving after the fight)
I have seen and analyzed that the appearance of the heroine is because the heroine interfered with the game company's program by some means to warn the male. host.
But the story all happened in 0.04 seconds, and the heroine didn't have time to complete it.
In other words, this is still derived from the fear and worry of the male protagonist.
Referring to the previous conversation with the heroine and the discussion on singularity, it can be seen that the two have some views on the issue of men and women.
From a certain point of view, the male protagonist does not believe that the female protagonist can save him, thinks that the female protagonist's judgment is wrong, and firmly believes that the mobile phone is not around.
There is a vague mischievousness like a child's unconvinced.
After feeling the danger signal in his heart, he subconsciously began to wonder if the heroine had harmed him.


When fighting with the heroine next, the wounded place is the same as the wound left by the fight with P. weapons are metal
wound location
At this time, the male protagonist realizes that all his perceptions are there. It seems that it is different from what K said before. The fear deepens and proposes to end the game.
And k proposed to ask the male protagonist to go upstairs.



5⃣️ Go upstairs (back to the normal B floor)

In front of the room on the second floor, the male protagonist is afraid that there is a mother who hanged to death.
At this time, the male protagonist is very clear that what will appear in front of him is what he is afraid of in his heart, so he thinks so.
The screenwriter left a big hole here, what happened between the male protagonist and his mother.
Combined with the ending part and the character of the male protagonist, there is a deep relationship between them, and the male protagonist should not have done anything to particularly hurt his mother.

This part also reflects the fact that the male protagonist is particularly afraid of the recurrence of the disease in the family because of his father. I am afraid that I will also suffer from dementia, and I am also afraid that my mother will no longer know me after suffering from it.


This is one of the reasons why the male protagonist travels away from home

The mother part is reflected in this layer from the content of 7⃣️

. The male protagonist is hysterical and breaks the mirror. After being taken out, enter the Japanese office.

***

6⃣️ Japanese office (bring out the b-layer and return to a)

Because of fear that from the end of 5⃣️, I started to think that I was suffering from dementia, so I took out the device implanted in the b-layer. Thought to return to real life, decided to go home.

***

7⃣️ On the way home and at home (after leaving peacefully a is still in the game)

, I went upstairs to see my mother and found that my mother had dementia and could not recognize herself. As the man feared.
At this time, in reality, the mother called again.

***

8⃣️ White House (Phone Ringing) (Death)
Back in the white house (in reality), the male protagonist died after shouting "Mom...".
The whole process takes 0.04 seconds


***

There is still a place in the middle that I don't understand
is what is on the table after the fight with the heroine image
According to the understanding mentioned above, it should not be set by the game company.


In the play, k fills in the column of the reason for the crash as mobile phone interference.
However, it should not be entirely blamed on this, it is obvious that the system is not perfect and can be said to be dangerous.
In the face of the dead body, the Japanese only regretfully asked K to record it. For him, perhaps the regret of the test failure is much greater than the regret of the death of the male protagonist.
K expressed regret for his dereliction of duty, but did not reveal too much emotion, only said that it will not be the case next time.


It can be guessed that as the male protagonist was afraid of in the game, this game has sacrificed a lot of people, and these people were finally dealt with in the same way. The reasons for each person's collapse must be various due to various subjective reasons, and it is difficult to summarize.
For reference, this still
may have actually occurred in various situations, and it is still unstable after debugging. When looking at the contract in


conjunction with another local male lead, K kept his neck outstretched. Lifting his chin and leaning forward full of anticipation and waiting, it was a little funny. Previously, the hostess mentioned that Saito invested a lot of money in this project. For the sake of the project, the male protagonist is not the first person to sacrifice in the game test, nor will he be the last.
