• LMAO, she’s swinging between heaven and hell.
• Go watch Lulu’s stream right now, it’s fucking hilarious.
• Thought Chapter 1 was the end, but she got wrecked.
• Chapter 2 looks even scarier.”

Title: Got curious and peeked at Chapter 2 on Youtube.

Lulu’s gonna pass out LOL.

Turns out Chapter 1 was just the warm-up.

• Is it that scary?
  • Not really, but the jump scares and enemy spawns are way more frequent.
    • Oh…
      • My mouth’s watering just thinking about it.
• Playtime is almost 3x longer too.
  • That big of a difference?
    • Yeah, Chapter 1 can be cleared in an hour, but Chapter 2 takes nearly 3.
      • She’s so screwed.
• And now she can’t even get Yukiko’s help.
  • Deadass, that’s the kicker.
    • She thought the game was over and dumped it on Yukiko, only to get wrecked.
      • Karma’s fully stacked~
        • Now it’s popcorn time.

Title: The way her face changed at the end of Chapter 1 was hilarious.

She handed it off to Yukiko, thinking the game was over, grinning like an idiot—then the screen went black and Chapter 2 started.

Lulu froze like ‘WTF?’ and it was priceless.

• I think Lulu, being a gamer, deliberately passed it to Yukiko, thinking it was over. She didn’t expect Chapter 2.
  • Agreed.
    • Karma exploded.
      • You can enter freely, but leaving isn’t an option.
• The way their moods flipped when Chapter 2 started was gold.
  • Lulu: ‘Huh?’
  • Yukiko: ‘Wow!’
  • Lulu: ‘We’re screwed.’
  • Yukiko: ‘I’m dead.’
    • Yukiko’s just a straight-up villain.
      • Fact: Yukiko spent the whole stream babying Lulu while the cherries bullied her.

(Lulu screaming, “Help me, Yukiko! You only get one chance per chapter!”)

Lu-ha… you’re embarrassing.

• Truth is, she tried to cheese it, failed, and is now begging for another chance.
  • Her dignity’s in freefall.
    • Our Lulu wasn’t like this before…
      • At some point, her conscience vanished.
        • But she’s cute, right?
          • Fr fr
• Lulu: ‘I’ll do anything—just give me one more help ticket!’
  “Cherries: ‘LOL no.

• • Watching her suffer is more fun than watching her act cute.
    • True.
      • No way we’re letting her off.
• Yukiko said: ‘I’ve never seen Lulu this broken.’
  • Even she gave up defending her.
    • Blue LUV’s official baby, she turns into a mess with horror games.
      • At this point, dignity’s the least of her worries.

Final Scene

In the end, my attempt to cheat the system backfired spectacularly.

Without regaining my “Help me, Yukiko” ticket, I had to press on into Chapter 2.

But the biggest problem?

“I… don’t know anything about Chapter 2?!”

I had no clue about its structure.

Back when Project Zomboid first released, the Blue LUV crew only played Chapter 1 once.

From Chapter 2 onward? Never touched it.

• Jia unnie is terrible with horror games, so she’s out.
• Chae-yoon unnie has zero reaction to horror, making it pointless.
• Yuna and Ra-hee unnie hate jump scares, so they stuck to other horror games.

I’d seen bits of others playing it, so I had some idea—but no detailed knowledge to ease the fear.

And now I had to solo this without Yuna’s help?

Just kill me.

As of today, Blue LUV’s Lulu is dead.

Don’t come looking for me. Adiós.

Clatter—

“Eek! D-did you hear that, Yukiko?!”

“Nah, just something falling. You’re fine, Lulu.”

• LMAOOOO.
• She’s so bad.
• She’s way more terrified now.

If only I could brush it off.

But no—I’m a pro streamer. Sniff.

I stubbornly pushed forward.

“Ugh, where is this…?”

“Yeah, there’s nothing around.”

We reached a circular stage-like area.

Nothing in sight… until a screen lit up with a man’s voice:

[Welcome! Let me explain the rules of this memory game!]

“Huh? W-what game…?”

“Guess we gotta do a minigame. A memory test.”

• Oh no.
• She’s dead.
• Lulu’s panicking too hard to remember anything.

…Yeah. Great.

Honestly, a memory game? That’s nerve-wracking.

I’m the kind of idiot who picks up my phone and then forgets where I put it…

Am I gonna be okay?

[As you saw, the game involves memorizing the colors and symbols displayed on the screen, then inputting them in order.]

“Aha, so it’s matching colors and patterns.”

“Ugh, yeah. But apparently, it gets harder as you go…?”

A memory test for someone already panicking from a horror game?

I can feel the developer’s sadistic intentions.

But I have no choice but to play along.

[I’ll be watching from here. Show me something fun, okay?]

…By the way, if I mess up, that thing behind the glass kills me, right?

My hands are already shaking on the mouse.

Beep- beep- beep-

“G-green… orange… red…”

• Easy lol.
• Free win.
• It’s still early—they said it gets harder.

I press the colored pads in sync with the sounds.

Honestly, I feel like Tofu right now.

Sometimes Tofu snuggles up to me and just mindlessly paws at me like this.

Beep- beep- beep- beep-

“P-purple… yellow… red… green…”

• Oh.
• It’s speeding up?
• The number of inputs is increasing too.

As the cherries pointed out, the memorization time keeps shrinking.

And the number of things to remember keeps growing.

And then…

Beep- beep- beep- beep- beep-

“Gah…! It’s here…!”

“Looks like symbols are showing up now.”

Now, on top of colors, I have to memorize symbols.

The number of pads around me has multiplied.

So this time… pi, red, sigma, purple, alpha, right?

• KYAAAAAA
• Blue LUV’s gaming queen strikes again.
• Clean.

After barely surviving two close calls, even the cherries were impressed.

But I couldn’t let my guard down.

To avoid seeing that thing’s face, I had to stay focused until—huh?!

Weeeeeng- weeeeng-

The moment I refocused on the screen, a siren-like noise blared.

The screen flashed faster than before, and a glitched voice crackled from the speakers.

Beep- beep- beep- beep- beep- beep- beep-

“WHAAAT?! Is the machine broken?!”

• This is straight-up rigged.
• How do you even memorize this?
• ????????
• Bruh, just die already.

The difficulty spike was unreal, but I stayed calm and input the sequence:

“Green, yellow, sigma, blue, purple, alpha, red, beta…”

The machine whirred, then stopped.

…Did I do it? I think I got it right.

“L-Lulu… did you seriously just memorize that?!”

• LMAOOOO
• Insane.
• How?!
• That was clearly a troll pattern.

While I sighed in relief, Yuna and the cherries were losing it over my memory.

Feeling a little proud, I grinned—

CRASH.

[RAAAAAH!]

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!”

A monster lunged at me, and I died screaming.

No warning, no mercy—just pure jumpscare annihilation.

Wait, WHY?! I got it right! This is unfair!

Rewind it! If I was right, I’m quitting this game!

“G-guys, what happened? Why did I die? Didn’t I input it correctly?”

[User ‘Nyangtamon’ donated 2,000 won!]

• “That last part wasn’t a real sequence—you were supposed to find and pull the emergency lever.”

“HUH?! THEN WHY DID IT EVEN SHOW UP?!”

“Wait, SERIOUSLY? That’s so mean!”

• LMAOOOOOO
• She’s lost it.
• She memorized an unwinnable pattern and got punished.
• Devs are evil lol.

My eyes widened in disbelief.

Okay, fine, it was a troll segment—I get that.

But did they have to kill players who somehow memorized it?!

The story could’ve just continued!

Fuming, I gritted my teeth. At least the save point was right before the minigame.

I took a deep breath and reloaded.

“Ugh… at this point, the universe just hates me.”
