Unlike the normal world, it's filled with obstacles made of iron netting, and countless "Data Deleted" entries conceal unknown secrets. Moreover, it only connects to the normal Silent Hill, but the path to entry is extremely difficult; it's only possible to step into this terrifying place under specific circumstances. The Erroneous Silent Hill has multiple forms, each like the scythe of death, reaping people's sanity. Form A is a physical form, discovered by the driver, "Data Protecting," by chance. He was influenced by a mirror and inexplicably entered this place, later daring to explore it further. In this form, Silent Hill can be traversed freely, but every step feels like walking on the edge of hell. Form B is an ideology, discovered by the original sacrifice, "Data Protecting." Filled with doubt, and driven by psychological trauma, he discovered this terrifying form created by others in his quest to uncover the truth behind the town's deserted state. In this form, it's as if the darkest part of the human heart is magnified infinitely, becoming a shackle that traps people. Form C is a magic circle form, discovered by [Data Protecting] when they were unable to escape from the magic circle in their room. It's a terrifying form that only appears when it benefits the cult, hiding the secret of {Special Data}. This place has a danger level of 3 (the lowest level), not only possessing mental attacks but also making survival extremely difficult. Even at levels 2-1, it reflects the darkest parts of people's hearts, challenging the bottom line of humanity. As for level 0, it's simply a death trap, with so much [Data Deleted] that it's terrifying, and those who enter rarely escape. Like the fourth explorer, who encountered others but ultimately chose suicide, this place seems like an abyss of human depravity. In this place filled with death and fear, there are some special beings. Alessa was the first to be discovered, along with the terrifying cult, who are like the source of nightmares, intricately connected to Alessa. However, there is an even more terrifying anomaly. A curse appears on criminals who have harmed children with happy lives and show no remorse. On the anniversary of the child's death, the criminals wake up in a strange, child-themed room. From that moment on, they are completely swallowed by darkness. They lose control of their bodies, first being forced to wear clothes that are completely mismatched with their bodies, even if the clothes are pitifully small and their bodies are twisted and contorted inside, they cannot tear the clothes. Then, they wash up in the bathroom, then leave with children's backpacks and head to "school." In the empty school, they sit or run between classrooms, auditoriums, playgrounds, and corridors until sunset before returning home. After changing clothes again, they lie down and fall asleep. Throughout the entire process, their physiological functions and senses remain intact; each contortion of their bodies brings excruciating pain, but they cannot lose consciousness until this series of horrific events ends. The next day, they wake up from where they slept with this terrible memory, as if they have been manipulated by a demon, forever unable to escape. There was a criminal named Carl who cruelly harmed an innocent child. On the night of the child's death anniversary, he fell asleep as usual, unaware of the nightmare about to begin. When he awoke in the children's room, fear instantly gripped his heart, but his body was beyond his control. He was forced to wear a pitifully small suit, his bones feeling as if they were being crushed; he wanted to scream, but no sound came out. While washing up, the water felt like icy needles piercing his aching body. Leaving the school with his backpack, everything around him was so unfamiliar and terrifying. At school, the loneliness and fear nearly drove him to the brink of collapse, yet his body continued to run and sit motionless. By sunset, he was covered in wounds. Returning "home," the pain of changing clothes made his vision blur, but he still couldn't escape. The next day, he thought it was all over, but the fear and pain were deeply etched into his soul. He tried to seek help, but no one understood him. He knew he was trapped in an inescapable curse, and it all stemmed from that terrible, erroneous Silent Hill. Anomaly Name: Error Silent Hill Description: Error Silent Hill is derived from Silent Hill, but differs from the normal Silent Hill in many ways. Error Silent Hill uses wire mesh to represent obstacles and contains more [Data Deleted]. Error Silent Hill only links to the normal Silent Hill, but entry is only possible in certain situations. Error Silent Hill has several forms. Form A: Physical Form This form can be freely explored and is the first form discovered, found by the driver [Data Protecting], who entered due to the influence of a mirror, and was later explored by [Data Protecting] again. Form B: Ideological Form This form is the second form, discovered by the nearby former sacrificed person [Data Protecting], who explored it to ascertain if no one in the town had explored it. This form only exists when someone has psychological trauma; the Error Silent Hill it discovered was created by someone else. Form C: Magic Circle Form This form only exists when it benefits the cult, discovered by [Data Protecting], whose room was affected by a magic circle, preventing them from leaving; the cause was later found to be {Special Data}. Area Characteristics: Level 3 Query (Lowest Level) Display: Level 3: Dangerous area, psychological attack, uninhabitable. Levels 2-1: This area corresponds to the darkest part of a person's heart, revealing human nature and posing a challenge to everyone. Level 0: This area is dangerous to everyone; there are many "Data Deleted" entries. Be suspicious of this area, as escape is very difficult. The fourth explorer encountered others, but they all later chose suicide. This indicates that this area represents the wickedness and evil within people. Exploring this area is difficult, but the first explorer obtains a map, which others can then access. Region: Level 3 Queryable Entities: Only [Data Deleted] exists in this region. In some cases, the following characters may be found: Alessa: The earliest discovered character Cult: The group corresponding to Alessa Anomaly: The anomalies you confiscated Description: According to existing records, this anomaly only appears on criminals who have previously killed children who had happy lives and have no remorse. On the anniversary of the child's death, the criminal may wake up in a strange, child-style room, indicating that the criminal has completely fallen into the anomaly. From this point on, the criminal will lose control of their body and experience the following events in sequence: Change into clothes that do not fit their body at all, even if the clothes are too small, they will not be torn, until the body is forced to stuff the clothes in an extremely distorted way; Wash up in the washroom, put on a children's backpack in the same way as above, and leave "home"; Go to "school", sit or run in the empty classrooms, auditorium, playground and the corridors connecting them until sunset, and return "home"; Change clothes again and go to sleep in bed. Throughout this process, the criminal's normal physiological functions and sensory abilities remain unchanged. This means that all acts of forcibly contorting the body will cause severe harm and unimaginable pain, but the criminal will not lose consciousness until all the events are over. The next day, the criminal will wake up from the place where they entered the interrogation room to sleep, carrying all the memories.
