Kevin stands on the edge of "The End" in the game, with a dark void behind his character, a scene that only appears in the legend of the backroom. The barrage on the screen has almost stopped rolling, and the audience is holding their breath, wanting to know if he will really jump down.
But Kevin actually has a faint contempt in his heart.
"These people are so easily manipulated," he thought to himself. He glanced at the chat room on the screen, filled with praise and concern for him, and even someone saying they wanted to follow him into the backroom.
To him, the legend of the entire backroom was nothing but a joke, an illusion that gave people excitement and purpose in the game. But he took advantage of it, creating an image of himself as a hero, daring to challenge the unknown.
He felt a surge of almost evil joy in his heart. This was a kind of ability, a kind that made him feel that he could finally gain some control and influence in this disappointing world.
"So, the so-called courage and adventure are nothing but a way to fill the emptiness and boredom in these people's lives," Kevin thought mockingly.
He felt that it was all too ridiculous. In his view, the legend of the backroom was just a carefully woven narrative, an illusion that allowed people to find some excitement and value in their mediocre and uninteresting lives. But this suited his intentions perfectly. He could use this narrative to give himself a sense of uniqueness, a disguised meaning.
"If this can give me a little more popularity in this terrible game, and make me feel a little more valued, then why not?" Kevin continued to think.
This sense of control gave him a warm feeling in his heart, and he could almost feel his heart pounding. It was an excitement and anticipation that he hadn't felt in a long time.
"This is power, this is presence," he told himself deep inside.
Kevin smiled, a smile full of confidence and disdain, then slowly moved his hand towards the keyboard and pressed the jump key.
But deep down, he knew that this was all just a game, a game he could exit and control at any time. Yet, he chose to continue this live broadcast because he wanted to see how much satisfaction and surprise this narrative, led by him, could still bring.
As Kevin controlled the character to leap down, the barrage on the screen instantly blossomed like fireworks. The audience's reaction exploded instantly, with some expressing surprise with emoticons, others shouting "This is really insane!" and some already speculating about the mysteries hidden in Escape the Backrooms.
Mary, infected by this enthusiasm, excitedly screamed, her voice piercing through the entire room. "Awesome, Kevin! This is the excitement we've been looking for! I want to go with you too!" With that, she quickly equipped a diamond necklace to her game character and jumped down without hesitation.
Alan watched as their figures disappeared into the bottomless darkness, feeling a mix of emotions. He had always held a skeptical attitude towards this so-called "Escape the Backrooms", but seeing Kevin and Mary so wholeheartedly invested, he began to waver. "Maybe this time it's really different?" he thought.
"Since you both jumped, I can't be left behind," Alan muttered to himself, slowly maneuvering his character to the edge of the darkness, taking a deep breath, and then jumping in right after.
At this moment, the audience in the live stream has reached a peak of excitement. The barrage is like an unstoppable waterfall, continuously flowing. "This is insane!" "The three of them will definitely become legends!" This atmosphere is not just a love for the game, but more like an endless imagination of the unknown.
As the three characters continue to fall in this bottomless darkness, the atmosphere in the live stream reaches a whole new high. The barrage becomes a fast-flowing river, filled with various emoticons, question marks, and exclamations.
"How long will it take to fall?" "Is this backroom really exist?" "I can't help but want to know what will happen next!"
The audience's emotions are pushed to the extreme, everyone is looking forward to that moment - when the three finally arrive at the mysterious Escape the Backrooms. This kind of tension and anticipation is like a huge bubble that could burst at any moment.
"This is like a dream, it's unbelievable!" someone wrote in the barrage.
"If Escape the Backrooms really exists, then this would definitely be the biggest discovery of the century!" another enthusiastic audience member responded.
As time passed by second by second, the three individuals continued to fall in the darkness, with no sign of it coming to an end. The audience's initial excitement and anticipation gradually turned into impatience and doubt.
"Why haven't we arrived yet? Is this all a hoax?"
"I'm starting to feel a bit bored. Is this just a fake Urban legends after all?"
The barrage is full of questions and disappointment, and some are even beginning to question whether this whole live broadcast is just a carefully orchestrated scam.
Kevin Seeing these barrage comments, he felt a sense of loss, but more so a sense of unwillingness. He desperately manipulated the game character, hoping to find a clue, but all around was still pitch black and void.
Mary also felt anxious. She originally thought this adventure would bring her new hope and surprises, but now it seems that everything is becoming more and more unbelievable, even a little scary.
Alan tried to stay calm and typed in the game's chat room: "Don't give up, maybe we're about to find the exit."
But these words seemed unable to calm the audience's emotions. Disappointed bullet comments increased, and some even started to leave the live broadcast room.
