I hope everyone had a great experience during the New Year.

Several members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Task Force perished at the checkpoint, and the Vale who was responsible for their deaths also did not survive. Strictly speaking, Vale's death was even more tragic than that of the soldiers. His appearance alone made viewers unable to look away, often breaking out in cold sweats. With Brit and Kiwo personally present on the scene, the visual impact was extraordinarily intense.
While Kiwo grappled with feelings of confusion and sorrow, an overwhelming wave of nausea suddenly washed over her. This couldn't be real; there had never been a game capable of creating such a super-realistic image. The scene before her was so visceral that it could give even the most timid players nightmares.
Although the viewers watched from the safety of their phones or computer screens, the terrifying realism of the game scene affected them no less than it did Kiwo and Brit. If they had been immersed in the game themselves...
A flood of messages flooded the chat. Among the comments, apart from viewers wishing for their success, there were many expressions of shock and fear. These words seemed to carry genuine emotion through the screen:
"My God, Vale looks so miserable..."
"Damn, this kind of graphics is top-notch in the world."
"It's so realistic, I'm not even in the game, but I'm shaking all over."
"Scary! I just hope they get through this smoothly! No more encounters with the Nine-Tailed Fox Mobile Task Force."
The viewers' chatter poured in endlessly, but the two players paid little attention. In previous streams, they had interacted enthusiastically with the audience, but this time, they were deeply immersed in the game's unfolding events. Many times, they even momentarily forgot about the chat altogether.
This was peculiar, perhaps unnoticeable to them. The root cause lay in the excellent quality of the game. When a game is that well-made, it naturally draws the players into its world more intensely. As a result, they focus more on the gameplay and less on engaging with the audience.
Soon, they didn't hesitate any longer and prepared to set off again. But before leaving, both looked around once more, silently sighing in their hearts.
Although it was just a game, they had experienced a feeling impossible to put into words. It was as if Vale's sacrifice symbolized some profound, cruel truth. A strange, indescribable sensation filled them.
They still couldn't grasp the essence of this feeling, at least not yet. But they sensed that the mysterious organization behind this, the Foundation, might bear some unimaginably immense responsibility.
While in the game's backdrop, the Foundation might seem terrifying, especially to the D-class personnel, given the hostility of strange SCPs and their organized task forces, for a broader perspective, the Foundation could actually be a force of great significance. They might wield some unimaginable influence over the normal world...
