"John, ever since I met him, I have had a strange feeling, a feeling that seems familiar from before. Now it feels like this town is surrounded by something, just like the prophecy said; the surrounding environment is gradually shrinking, like a snake tearing and devouring its prey with venomous fangs."
Returning the same way, he entered a small wooden house, only to find himself in front of the highway management center. It seemed that this space was undergoing some strange change. Entering the main street from the corridor beside the bar, he recalled there was a cracked wall on the right? Breaking through the wall, he found a note on the ground: "Last night, four victims were found dead at the hands of the 'lumberjack.' Three of the boys' bodies were discovered inside Building B, while another body was found near a drainage outlet next to the swamp."
Continuing forward, he discovered strange plants. Returning, he found himself in another room. The double bed in the room attracted John's attention, it seemed to carry Emily's scent, and the room's arrangement was so similar to John's home.
Going out, he entered Catherine's room. On the bed lay a chubby, strange creature, covered in blood—it was Catherine! On the table, he found Catherine's diary:
"Last night my stomach hurt unbearably. When I woke up this morning, my whole body ached, it felt like being pregnant... I could barely get out of bed. My stomach still hurts, and my body is starting to change, as if something inside me is growing. I don't dare leave the house. Emily's voice came from outside the door, and I am very scared."
Going out, he took down a jumping monster, then entered his own room and saw Emily's spirit again. Stepping outside, he felt as if he was trapped in a strange maze. Entering his room again and then leaving, everything seemed to return to normal. Walking into the restored forest, he broke through the damaged wall, carefully avoided four monsters, and advanced into the swamp. "Father, Father, is that you?"
"Father, I feel cold."
In the swamp, immature children's voices floated continuously. At the end of the swamp, the voice appeared again:
"Father, did you come to find me? While waiting for you, I ate a lot of raw fish, it was so delicious. I really miss you. Let me give you a hug, Father.""A pair of enormous hands and the eerie face of a boy suddenly appeared in the swamp; just keep firing on the spot. After dealing with them, move forward and dive into the water, passing through the sewer to reach a door sealed with flesh." 'It seems like there's some sound around, maybe a very large cicada?' John thought, as a huge cicada appeared in front of him and lunged at him…
'...What did it do to me? It seems to have entered my body. Does it want me to use its power?'
John transformed into a half-cicada creature, and the shockwave he emitted broke the seal on the door. Moving forward through the darkness, John finally reached the surface, but the intense sunlight was gradually draining his life. He urgently needed to find a shady place. Using shockwave to push back the monsters blocking his way, he advanced to the highway management office and entered the room next to the garage, then collected a lot of bullets from the sealed door in the forest. Eventually, he returned to the sealed door in the apartment.
Emily's soul: "Darling, come here quickly. Such a long journey must have exhausted you. Take a rest right away."
In a haze, Michael appeared again… After moving a box, John intended to go have a drink at the 'Eye Jack' bar, but the monsters in the bar proved that it was still a nightmare.
Sophia: "Good evening, sir. Are you new here?"
John: "No, I usually go straight home after work."
Sophia: "Very well, it seems you need to relax. I'm Sophia."
John: "I'm John. Nice to meet you."
At John's home
Emily: "...It's already 11 PM, and he still hasn't come home... Hey, do you know what time it is? If there's anything, you should let me know!"
John: "........"
Emily: "Are you still with that waitress from the bar?"
On the highway, a blood-covered John crouched beside an overturned car
John: "Child, save our child!"
John: "Emily, can you hear me? Can you move? Answer me!"
John: "...I left you and the child behind. You both are dead..."
The scene switched again, in front of a mysterious building
John: "There are thorns everywhere here.""Emily: 'All of this is your doing, Lucas. You don't want anyone to come in.'
John: 'But, that's Catherine…'
Emily: 'Enough, go and have a proper talk with your Catherine!'
Catherine: 'Look, Lucas, I found the photos from the party. That's Emily behind us.'
John: 'Enough, Catherine, come leave this damn place with me.'
Catherine: 'Too late. She won't let us go. We have to face her.'
Grab all your ammunition and prepare for the final showdown!
Emily: 'Take a look, see what you've become without me. Come to me, come to me.'
A banshee crawling like a snake, moving incredibly fast. Anyway, this is the last stop, let's bring out all the hidden treasures. Watching the banshee slowly disappear in a bloodbath, is it finally over?
Emily: 'I'm sorry, Lucas.'
John: 'No, it's not your fault, it's me who abandoned you… Tell me the truth, what happened on the day of the earthquake. You could have left before the car exploded, couldn't you?'
Emily: 'I'm sorry, Lucas, but maybe it's not too late to start again now.'
The final choice, the ultimate love, whether to return to the world of light, or wander in endless darkness, everything is up to you."
