In the survival game "Escape," how did胖子, who was the highest fighter among the majority of patients at the psychiatric hospital, kill most of the hospital staff? The main reason for this is his powerful strength, which is attributed to his military service and violent experiences in Afghanistan. Despite being called胖子 due to his physical appearance, he detested people calling him so. However, he loved small pigs and frequently held them while sleeping, which contributed to his attachment to these animals. As a result, whenever the protagonist encountered胖子,胖子 would chase after him before screaming "little pig!". After retiring from the army,胖子 moved to the huge mountain psychiatric hospital. He was responsible for monitoring and preventing aggressive behavior among the patients. However, over time,胖子's own sanity was affected by the patients' aggression, resulting in an increase in his violence. This further exacerbated his already violent tendencies. One day,胖子 completely lost his mind, turning into a monster who killed all his colleagues before escaping. Eventually, he was caught by Billy and brought back to the hospital. However, in the final scene, Billy accidentally tested the system's malfunction and unleashed a defect, causing胖子 to break free from the hospital's premises. Fleeing around the hospital's various locations,胖子 was able to locate himself and fellow enemies due to his familiarity with the layout. Despite his incredible fighting abilities,胖子's strengths cannot overcome its weaknesses: it can't navigate through gaps, and it is highly durable. Additionally, his speed and agility make it challenging for other doctors like Dr. X射线 and Dr. Brainwashed to take down him effectively. The strength and weaknesses of胖子 were intricately intertwined throughout the story, as his relentless killing spree was triggered by his troubled past and distorted psyche. The events leading up to the showdown with the ultimate boss, "比利", were entirely based on胖子's hallucinations and the subsequent curse upon those involved. In "Escape 2," a similar issue arises when the player and Jessica engage in a conversation using a computer. Should they reverse the process and use the English localization patch after overcoming this obstacle? In this scenario:
- If the firmware fix for the book arrives, allowing the game to revert back to the original text, then the sequel will undoubtedly have its foundations built on a more realistic foundation than before, given that the bulk of the narrative's premise has not yet been confirmed or disproven.
- Considering the plot progression described in the previous section, a fraction of these possibilities can be deduced: while the first chapter's event may suggest that Elena (one of the characters mentioned earlier) may have committed suicide, her actual death has never been explicitly depicted. Similarly, it is possible that this character's ghost is now appearing as Jill, a former student of the group. While fictional characters often retain their personalities and identities, it is still plausible that some aspects of their past lives are interwoven with their current appearances.
- Another potential explanation lies in the introduction of Mr. Black, the man who rescued Jack from the asylum years ago. If Mr. Black reveals to the protagonist that his wife, whom he later married, gave birth to a child that was mentally impaired, this could explain why the victim's image in the protagonist's mind is altered. Furthermore, this revelation might also point towards the existence of the legendary superhuman female figure, known as Aria, whose power allows her to possess and manipulate mental states, including individuals suffering from mental illnesses.
- Alternatively, the storyline could assume that the false memory of Jill's suicide and backstory is the result of a manipulation by a higher authority or power force aiming to control the characters' minds or bodies. This might explain the encounter between the protagonist and the siren, highlighting the subtle link between dream sequences and reality. Regardless of the specifics, the combination of胖子's unique strength and its effects on the story remains a compelling aspect of "Escape 2." By examining the interactions between胖子, his hallucinations, and the tragic events that unfold, the reader becomes immersed in a twisted world where even the most seemingly ordinary individuals can hold significant weight in altering the course of history.
