I'm an Internet Cafe Owner?

On the second day of opening, Natsuki Subaru saw the boss and Ms. Kisara, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey! Boss, you're finally back? Hey? What happened to you?"

At this time, Liu Yuan's face had dark circles that looked like panda eyes, exaggerated by makeup. Looking at Kisara and Jibril beside him, Subaru instantly understood something.

"Did you lose in the game?"

"You guessed it right! By the way, Subaru, our store has launched a new game and it's on sale. Do you want to play it?"

"Ah?"

When he heard about the new game, Natsuki Subaru got excited.

"What game?"

"Outlast!"

"???"

Being a person who traveled into another world, Subaru was familiar with many games from Earth. "Outlast" was naturally a game he had heard of, known for its horror elements.

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's reaction, Liu Yuan slowly introduced it. "This is a horror game, but the nanomolecule tech given at the end is very interesting. Don't worry, this Internet cafe provides absolutely high-quality products."

"Then I'll give it a try."

If it had been the old Natsuki Subaru, he would have refused without a second thought.

A horror game? One that is extremely scary? He wasn't a player who enjoyed self-torture and would never abuse his strong nerves.

But after playing so many games, even those with a strong horror atmosphere like Resident Evil 7 and 8, he felt a bit overconfident and was eager to challenge this legendary horror game.

He logged in, but before doing so, he also saw Liu Yuan's new game introduction on the TT forum.

"Something's wrong! Very wrong!"

While Natsuki Subaru was complaining in a low voice, Nyaruko sitting next to him, muttered, "What's wrong? Isn't it just that the boss is back? Didn't the boss say before that he would open a branch and bring in new people? Obviously, the new store is successful, so he's back."

"That's not it."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the introduction of Outlast on the TT forum and suddenly thought of something. Then he asked knowingly, "Are you going to try the new game launched by the boss?"

"Of course! Half price, and the introduction says it's a game like hide-and-seek. The boss just said that the NPCs in this game are very enthusiastic, taking me to eat, drink, and play, and in the end, a group of people welcomes me after I pass the game. Just for this friendly attitude, I must pass the game."

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru was silent.

If he remembered correctly, it was a horror game known for its intense fear factor. And Liu Yuan was recommending the game like this, making him suddenly feel uneasy.

In addition to Liu Yuan's previous comments, he felt that the horror level of this game needed more attention.

But it wasn't a big problem. Horror games were mostly about background music and sudden jump scares. With a mental warning, he felt that it couldn't scare him.

However, he did not tell Nyaruko about this because he was looking forward to seeing Nyaruko scream.

After chatting for a few more words, he opened the game and entered the game world.

"I am a reporter. I came here to investigate the truth based on the information of an informant..."

With a weak body and excited emotions, Natsuki Subaru strode into the mental hospital. He felt that his current state was very strange, and his perception of the outside world was very weak. He could only vaguely perceive his body.

It even felt like he was a person in this world, and the purpose of coming to this mental hospital was to investigate the truth, not play games.

This feeling became more and more pronounced as he got off the car and walked into the mental hospital.

At the same time, his memory of the outside world became weaker and weaker. If he tried to recall, he would remember that he was playing a game. But as he went deeper, this memory gradually faded.

From the moment the game started, his only focus was on investigating the truth and escaping.

"Damn! What is this!"

In the mental hospital, Natsuki Subaru's panting was unusually loud due to fear and physical fatigue, especially in this dark room. He wished he could stop panting.

Because there was a mental patient looking for him. This mental patient had no skin on his body, and he looked weak but was very powerful. When he first encountered him, Natsuki Subaru completely forgot that he had the option to fight.

He only remembered one thing: Escape!

He thought he couldn't defeat the other party, and he had no choice but to run. This was indeed the case. The first time he was forced into a desperate situation, he fought back, but the other party's body was as hard as a machine, and his huge body was more flexible than a monkey.

He could see his movement trajectory clearly and even predict his attacks, but his body was just that of an ordinary reporter with ordinary training.

Rolling?

He was stopped by the other party's weapon as soon as he rolled. How could he have a chance to roll?

After the failed counterattack, he completely gave up the idea of fighting and just wanted to escape.

He broke into an empty room, locked the door, and saw a locked cabinet on the side. Without thinking, he entered the middle cabinet and tried to adjust his breathing.

In the empty room, his breathing was so obvious, and outside, the mental patient was banging on the door frantically. With continuous banging, the door was knocked open.

Due to mental reasons, the patient only knew that Natsuki Subaru had entered the room and was likely hiding there. He looked under the bed and opened a few cabinets randomly. After finding nothing, his inflexible brain thought Natsuki Subaru had run away.

As to how he could escape from a closed room, this was not a question a mental patient like him could ponder. He decided to look for Natsuki Subaru outside.

Feeling the patient leaving, Natsuki Subaru breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath was a bit loud because he had been holding it for a long time, but in the empty room, the sound was so obvious.

When Natsuki Subaru realized something was wrong, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes through the cabinet gap. These eyes were full of chaotic desires, and at the same time, he saw a sentence in these terrifying eyes.

"I found you."

"Ah!!"

Natsuki Subaru left the game. At this moment, he felt his heartbeat accelerating, and his entire spine was cold.

"Subaru? What's wrong?"

On the other side, Emilia looked at Natsuki Subaru, who was sweating all over and had taken off his glasses, feeling confused.

After so long, this was the first time she saw someone so scared while playing games, as if he was found by some terrifying existence and was about to die.

"I..."

Natsuki Subaru felt his heart racing, and as he calmed down, his fear slowly subsided.

"Really... it's so exciting!"

"Huh?"

Subaru Natsuki explained. "It's a new game, a very scary horror game, very good."

"Then I'll try it too."

"Don't do that!"

Subaru Natsuki used sweet words to dissuade Emilia, saying the game was not suitable for novices, not fun and bloody, and would not improve any of their skills. The final rewards were not very good.

Through a series of words, he stopped Emilia from wanting to try the game.

He himself said he had spent all his money and it would be inappropriate not to finish the level, so he was ready to continue playing.

But just when he was about to put on his glasses, Nyaruko on the other side took off her glasses with a squeak.

"Oh my god! I'm so scared, so scared, why is there such a scary game in this world? It's really... so fun!"
