Chapter 660 564 Who Would Throw a Knife at the Very Beginning?
The game officially begins, and the opening is an animated CG.
In the warm dim light, a girl in military uniform follows another tall young man, walking in the market one after the other.
However, the girl stopped when passing a roadside stall.
The major walked a few steps and then noticed that the girl beside him did not catch up, so he turned around and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I have the major's eyes," Violet looked up, "The same color as the major's eyes."
A brooch as deep as the sea water lay quietly on the stall, but when it was close-up, it was refracted by the light with a beautiful color, which was a bit dreamy.
And the next moment, the major's face appeared in the camera.
He had the same deep green eyes.
Hearing Violet's words, the major's eyes changed slightly, as if he couldn't help crying in the next second.
Violet gently held her chest with her hands and said uneasily:
"What should I call this feeling when I see this?"
...
The music flowed slowly,
The color of the brooch gradually changed like a vortex.
Then a green forest was formed, and above the dense jungle, there was a blue sky and beautiful clouds.
...
The camera suddenly turned, and the lush forest that was quiet and healing in the last second turned into a battlefield with artillery fire in the next second.
The bullet hit the metal car shell, making a crisp sound.
A group of soldiers were charging.
Among them were the major and Violet.
Soon, this group of soldiers fell into a dangerous predicament, and the major and Violet and others were surrounded in the cathedral.
The bullet hit the major's abdomen, and blood splattered.
In order to rescue the Major, Violet killed an enemy soldier at the cost of her left arm, and then she had no bullets to shoot; in order to avoid the enemy's grenade, she used her right hand to protect the Major and was blown into the corridor and lost her right hand.
The beginning was so tragic, and it was just an opening animation. Yamada Masaharu was shocked.
No way?
Is this really a game?
Who wrote this script?
The heroine lost both arms at the beginning?
Oh, he suddenly remembered that Violet had a pair of mechanical hands in the main interface and official PV at the beginning.
Now everything can be explained.
But...
In such a short few minutes of opening full of infinite tension and drama, Yamada Masaharu saw the Major's concern for Violet and the bond between the two.
He even became a little worried.
War is indeed cruel. This is not the first time that Pokeni has made a war-themed game, but it is rare to achieve this level at the beginning.
Fortunately...
The Major should be the hero, right?
Yamada Masaharu breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he is the hero, he will not die, otherwise how can the story continue in the future?
This is just the beginning.
It should be that when the pokeni was made, some difficulties were deliberately created so that the future game can continue.
Yes, that must be the case.
After dealing with several enemies, Violet carried the Major's body and walked step by step towards the church corridor.
At this time, it can be described as despair, waiting for reinforcements for a long time, and not even knowing whether she will die in the next moment.
Even Violet, now without an arm and bleeding.
If this continues, both of them may fall here.
But...
The Major's body was too heavy, and he tilted to one side and fell to the ground.
"Major!"
Violet shouted loudly.
The Major barely managed to sit against the wall, his fingers drooping as he looked at the blonde girl in front of him with difficulty, "Run! Don't worry about me...Run!"
"I will never! Never let the Major die!"
Even with her teeth, Violet still bit the Major's clothes, trying to drag him to a safe place.
Seeing Violet biting the Major's clothes desperately, Yamada Masaharu was a little tearful.
Is this necessary, pokeni?
Is it so sensational from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Yamada Masaharu quickly crawled to the side and picked up the game disc to take a look.
Sure enough, the supervisor is [Aoji Yuan], it's actually Aoji Yuan?
No wonder I said why it's so familiar?
It turned out to be the producer of "Mushishi", and it was because of the "Mushishi" series that the name Aoji Yuan was brought back.
Now here in "Violet Evergarden", the sense of déjà vu of Mushishi is too strong.
Violet uttered waves of impotent rage and bit the major’s clothes, but she couldn’t move him even a little bit.
However, the blood on the Major's chest had soaked through his clothes, and it looked like he could not survive.
"Enough."
The Major whispered.
"No!"
"Enough!" The Major roared.
Tears flowed down his face, fell to the ground and mixed with the blood, and then crawled down the stairs.
In this situation, Violet also burst into tears.
"Major..."
"Live!" The Major raised his head with difficulty and looked at the small, beautiful girl with long golden hair in front of him.
"Violet, you have to live... live freely."
"I love you sincerely."
"Love... What is love?!"
The girl cried sadly, repeating the same words over and over again, "What is love?!"
"I don't understand! Major!"
The artillery bombarded, and the rubble above the entire church fell down.
The Major gathered his remaining strength and rushed forward to hug Violet.
The earth and rocks flew.
The screen suddenly went black.
The music stopped abruptly.
…
"What the hell?!"
Yamada Masaharu's heart skipped a beat.
No way?
The Major died?
He died in the opening CG?
The hero died?
Can you believe this? !
I'm so...
Yamada Masaharu was in great shock, and was completely stunned by the actions of Qing Zhiyuan. Qing Zhiyuan was too inhuman, wasn't he?
Good man, who would use a knife at the beginning?
And this knife was really sharp, and it caught people off guard.
…
What is love? !
Pokeni did not give a clear answer.
After that, only a few transitions that can be called gorgeous were used:
In the starry sky, the Milky Way shines, emitting charming light.
Time flows, shining like a river.
The green pupils of the people have the same charming vortex-like light...
It seems to be back to the beginning, telling Violet that the brooch looks like the eyes of the major.
...
It is beautiful.
And it has a special sense of artistic conception.
But Yamada Masaharu really wants to kill Qing Zhiyuan.
...
Then, the girl with long golden hair slowly opened her eyes.
The camera zoomed out, and Violet was lying on the bed.
There was a white light around.
The girl's long golden hair was spread on the bed like seaweed, and the whole person looked like a blooming flower.
Yamada Masaharu saw her appearance and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Pokeni's paintings of girls are really amazing, and this time the brushstrokes are obviously more delicate.
He felt that with this kind of picture quality and style, he could watch it for a year, even if there was no plot.
Obviously seriously injured, the girl raised her hand and let out a low moan.
However, when her hand was exposed on the TV, Yamada Masaharu noticed that it was completely wrapped in gauze.
…
"Major Gilbert, today is the 102nd day of hospitalization."
"My physical strength has been restored to a large extent."
"Even if I am slightly inconvenient to move, I can still perform the mission."
"Request to return to the mission immediately."
…
So far, the screen has switched from the opening CG to the real-life game.
The transition is quite natural, which is also the animation rendering effect that Pokeni is proud of. After two generations of continuous progress by Mushishi, it can now be done quite delicately.
Yamada Masaharu controlled the heroine to sit up from the bed, walked around the hospital for a while, talked to the nurse next to him, and roughly understood that a man named Hawkins would come to pick her up today.
People who know Violet habitually call her [Weapon]. This is a girl with a girlish appearance, who fights as soon as she is ordered and has no emotional experience. It can even be said that she is just a [prop] for fighting.
And just after her health improved, a red-haired man found her.
Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins, originally a soldier of the Kingdom of Leidingsheftrich, is now the president of the C.H Postal Company.
He is also Violet's guardian.
...
Violet was wearing a light blue European-style long skirt, which was completely different from her original image of a soldier.
At this time, she showed a unique side of a girl.
Although she still didn't know what human emotions were, in terms of the girl's appearance, Violet was too outstanding.
For some reason, Yamada Masaharu saw the shadow of my king in her.
But there was a big difference.
If there is a similarity between the two, it is probably the cute image of blonde hair and blue eyes, plus the light blue clothing, and the usual style of Pokeni, which gives people a special impression.
However, if there is a difference, it is still quite different.
Violet is obviously taller, and the expression on her face is different from her usual habits.
She lacks a lot of the unique firmness of my king, and is a little more confused.
But sometimes she is very firm, and Violet's firmness is reflected in her obsession with the major.
In Qing Zhiyuan's game setting:
She wants to return to the major no matter what, and the meaning of existence is to find the major and complete her mission as a [tool].
More importantly, the major is the one who gave her life again on the battlefield.
Before the major was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he shouted [I must live and then find the meaning of existence. ]
I hope she can live as a new human being.
This is the love that the major has for her.
I also hope that Violet can find the meaning of love, so that she can respond to herself.
...
Then Violet followed Hawkins to his postal company, where there were several girls called [Auto Memory Dolls] who specialized in writing letters for others.
When they first arrived, they happened to meet an illiterate customer who wanted to send a letter to the girl he [loved], so the Auto Memory Doll Cattleya Baudelaire wrote a letter with a friendly tone but deep feelings [expressing longing and love].
The letter ended with [I love you].
Hearing this, Violet suddenly wavered.
She said that she also wanted to figure out what love is, so she hoped Hawkins would let her stay and become an [Auto Memory Doll], hoping that in the process of conveying love, she could experience what love is in the mouth of the Major.
So in this case, Hawkins agreed.
The game can be regarded as opening a new chapter.
…
The gameplay of Violet Evergarden is a bit like the future "Diver Dave",
except that "Violet Evergarden" replaces fishing with collecting entries.
It is equivalent to turning Violet's thinking process into a boundless sea of entries.
This is also inspired by the Japanese drama "The Boat Compiler".
In "The Boat Compiler", the male protagonist played by Matsuda Ryuhei is an editor who devotes his life to compiling a new dictionary "The Great Crossing".
While searching for entries, he sorted them into the dictionary, and his life was spent in such work.
One person, one life, one dictionary.
The dictionary has no boundaries, but he and his editor colleagues have to compile a boat that can cross the sea in such a vast ocean, so one of the scenes is-
Matsuda Ryuhei feels drowned by the vast ocean formed by countless entries, and is completely out of breath.
The inspiration for the entries comes from "The Great Crossing", but Qing Zhiyuan uses the expression method in Mushishi.
This kind of naughty and mischievous ink-style, with distinct personalities, swims around like fish stained with ink.
Violet is fishing in such a sea.
It can be said to be quite poetic and romantic.
Collecting entries and writing letters, the process of writing letters does not need to be typed manually, but it will be automatically activated after the entries are collected. If they are not collected, the activated letters will also change and the evaluation will be different.
While writing letters, you must also deliver letters so that each other's thoughts can be conveyed to each other.
The main body of the game is divided into two parts:
One is to capture entries, and the other is to write and deliver letters to earn rewards, and then continue to upgrade through the money earned.
At this point, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but admire it.
I thought it might be a boring game, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.
More importantly, in this city, what kind of commissions to accept, what kind of people to find, and dig out their respective stories are all decided by the players themselves, and only time is passing.
It has a high degree of freedom and openness, and everyone has a moving story.
This makes Yamada Masaharu very satisfied.
Ah...
Except for Pokeni.
It is really hard to imagine that any other game company can be so bold and make the game to this extent.
This is probably what Qing Zhiyuan said about slow games?
