Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 15

“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈笑死我了,为什么这么快就被抓包了啊！”

"Hahahahaha I announce that I will live in this live room from now on, it has brought me so much joy."

"Hahahahahaha why is it so funny to watch the anchor roll over? Hahahahahahaha!"

"I see how you make it up this time hahahahahaha!"

Inside the corridor.

The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and the icy cold air penetrated directly into the texture and penetrated into the lungs.

sizzle, sizzle—

The harsh sound of electric current echoed in the empty corridor, scratching the eardrum like a thin and sharp needle.

Before he knew it, that face had completely changed back to its original appearance.

Under the flickering light, that terrifying face was plated with a layer of blue-grey light, the curvature of the corners of the mouth was exaggerated and strange, the skin was white as if it had been swollen, and a pair of pure black pupils stared straight at it. Coming over, Sen Leng's malicious gaze, like a gangrene attached to the bones, snaked up his back.

The young man stood a few steps away, looking back calmly and expressionlessly.

I saw him take a deep breath slowly...

Then turn around and run!

"..."

Question marks and ellipses floated through the barrage.

"?"

"???"

"That's it? That's it?"

As a liar who cherishes his life, Wen Jianyan has always believed in a life principle.

A real man, he should be cowardly when he should be cowardly!

Wen Jianyan's eyes resolutely ran away.

It was as if he was not fleeing in embarrassment, but rushing towards a better tomorrow with big strides.

Not only was he caught lying in front of the main lord, but the other party also had power that he couldn't compete with. Then, at this time, he only had the last magic weapon at the bottom of the box——

Run for your life!

Behind him, the smiling face is like a shadow.

From the corner of her vision, Wen Jianyan saw that Xu Yuan's face appeared in the glass window beside him from time to time, staring at him with a pair of eyes.

Approaching step by step.

The face drew closer, the distance between them slowly but irreversibly shortened.

The corners of the pale and twisted lips rose strangely, and the facial features became more and more similar to Wen Jianyan.

Wen Jianyan's heart skipped a beat.

He found that the speed of the other party's assimilation this time was several times faster than the last time, but in just a few dozen seconds, the face was already seven or eight points similar to his.

But it doesn't matter, it's coming soon.

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and took off her jacket while speeding up.

He rushed into the stairwell with a single stride, raising his arms sharply—

The jacket was raised with a whimper and smashed precisely at the light bulb above his head!

"Crack!"

The clear sound of glass shattering sounded!

Fragments of the hot bulb scattered, and the red-burning wick quickly dimmed. The next second, the only light went out, and the entire corridor was plunged into darkness.

Wen Jianyan stood in the dark, her chest heaving up and down quickly, her heart thumping in her chest.

"..."

There was silence in the ears.

Nothing catches up.

Well, it looks like he made the right bet.

Wen Jianyan let out a long sigh, leaned against the cold wall a little out of strength, and gasped for breath.

According to his previous experience in dealing with Xu Yuan several times, the other party is mostly inside the mirror, and only after robbing the identity of a living person can he move outside the mirror.

Wen Jianyan noticed the state of the anchor when he was on the fourth floor before. Judging from his increasingly stiff and deformed face, Xu Yuan's time outside the mirror is estimated to be limited.

Therefore, in order to be able to leave the mirror all the time, she must constantly seize other people's identities.

Obviously, the time limit for the unlucky anchor is up, and he is the next victim to be targeted.

Fortunately, however, there is a time lag in between.

Since Xu Yuan wants to get his identity, she must give up the identity of the anchor first, so during this time, she will return to the mirror.

And Wen Jianyan seized this opportunity.

The premise that the mirror can reflect the object is that there is a light source, so if the light source can be made to disappear, the other party cannot move.

Wen Jianyan raised her hand and rubbed the small blood marks on her cheeks scratched by the glass fragments. The pain was minimal under the action of adrenaline, and she could only feel the warm and sticky touch when the blood flowed across her cheeks.

He adjusted his breathing.

so far so good.

Finally caught up.

The human skin portrait in the pocket is heavy.

In fact, at the moment when he was blocked by Xu Yuan, Wen Jianyan had the idea of ​​handing over his "face" to the other party - to escape the disaster and complete the task, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

However, the idea was quickly rejected by him.

This chip is not enough.

If the person who was in the wrong was really "Xu Yuan", Wen Jianyan would never hesitate.

But the problem is that now this "Xu Yuan" has absolutely nothing in common with the one in the diary. According to the information revealed by the audience in the barrage, Xu Yuan is now the most difficult monster in the entire copy.

Her aggression is too strong.

All the monsters Wen Jianyan has seen since entering the dungeon have a core obsession as the driving force.

Xiaojie's obsession is to "help her mother", while the obsession of the opposite person is to "take Xu Yuan's identity", what about Xu Yuan?

Take back your face?

Normally that should be the case.

But... Wen Jianyan always felt that something was not right, so he didn't dare to draw conclusions so easily.

After all, according to the information he had obtained from another anchor, the reason why they went back to the fourth floor was that the anchor who had occupied Xu Yuan's identity led them there.

She repeatedly seized the identity of a living person, left the mirror, and led more people to the fourth floor.

——This is not something that a ghost who wants to take back his identity can do.

If Wen Jianyan's intuition wasn't wrong, even if he just returned the human skin portrait, it wouldn't do anything to save his life.

Although the task is completed, the people are gone, which is too worthless.

So, after a quick weighing of the pros and cons, Wen Jianyan decided to settle for the next best thing and risked going to the stairwell to cut off the light source.

Although the mission has not yet been completed, at least his life is safe.

Wen Jianyan groped in the corridor and slowly stood up.

After losing the only light source, the entire corridor seemed to be immersed in bottomless darkness, and nothing could be seen.

Wen Jianyan asked tentatively in her heart:

"Does the light from the live broadcast interface count as a light source in the copy?"

[No,] The system's flat and cold voice sounded: [Only the host can see the live broadcast interface, and it is impossible to create real light in the copy. 】

That is not bad.

Wen Jianyan calmed down and opened the backstage of the live broadcast.

As soon as the background was opened, all the clanging clangs that had been blocked all rang together.

【Ding! The number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 10,000! 】

[Congratulations to the anchor for his achievement: Popular Newcomer King!

Wow, the popularity of your live broadcast room is steadily increasing. Although you are just a newcomer, more and more viewers are pouring into your live broadcast room, deeply impressed by your charm! Sending you to the throne of the popular newcomer king in this dungeon!

Please make persistent efforts to create a more exciting and novel live broadcast experience for the audience! 】

Wen Jianyan made a rough calculation, the remaining points now, plus the reward from the backstage, should last until the end of the dungeon without any problem.

That being the case, then it's enough to hide the old witch, feel the fish and paddle in the water, wait for the time to pass, and the dungeon will end automatically.

Wen Jianyan let out a breath slowly, the pressure brought by the 20-minute survival time of death at the beginning was too great, it kept him in a state of extreme tension all the time, and now he can finally stop worrying all the time. I was afraid that I would die violently in five minutes.

He opened the backpack.

The Hand of Guidance and the Robe of Concealment that I had purchased before were all used up, and now the entire backpack is empty, which also makes the apple seedling icon in the upper right corner look extraordinarily lush.

The following two lines of small print look particularly clear and eye-catching.

【The second stage of growth has been achieved】

[Unlock conditions have been met]

Wen Jianyan: ?

He remembered that in the first stage, there seemed to be no unlocking of this program?

Under his suspicious gaze, a line of small words popped up on the screen:

[Detected that the anchor is out of danger, the system is automatically unlocking for you]

Wen Jianyan: ? ? ?

and many more?

and many more? ? ?

He suddenly had a very ominous feeling.

No way? !

Wen Jianyan hurriedly opened the backstage again, and looked at his remaining points in a panic - the next second, the numbers on it came into view, which suddenly made his eyes dark, his breath suffocated, and he almost didn't have a cardiac arrest.

【Remaining points: 0】

Wen Jianyan: "………………"

After working hard for most of the day, I returned to the pre-liberation overnight.

I am your uncle!

Wen Jianyan was so dizzy with anger that he stared at the apple seedling, and almost didn't put himself on a ventilator.

After finally earning enough points to guarantee clearance, I was suddenly smitten by this prodigal thing.

What luck!

Under his exasperated stare, a small tip slowly emerged from the top branch of the apple seedling, green and round, only the size of a fingernail.

Wen Jianyan was stunned.

He frowned, reached out and poked the icon.

A line of small print appeared.

【The Fruit of Lies】

Wen Jianyan was startled.

In the Old Testament, humans in the Garden of Eden were deceived by the devil who turned into a snake to eat the forbidden fruit. All desires, disasters, greed and destruction began with this lie.

This is a novice gift customized by the system according to his soul quality.

indeed……

unique.

Just as Wen Jianyan was shaking his head, a footstep sounded from overhead, and a faint light swayed, gradually illuminating the dark stairs.

Not good, light source!

Wen Jianyan suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression froze.

Su Cheng took the flashlight he forgot to return in his hand and walked down the stairs step by step.

His heart was as heavy as his pace.

Although I understand intellectually that the senior anchor's approach is the most efficient and safest, nppc, even if it is coaxed into a dangerous place and sacrificed, it doesn't matter.

but……

Whenever the little brother Xu Wen who went into danger alone in order to find his younger sister flashed in his mind, even when faced with danger, his first reaction was to protect these "students", Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. .

He didn't think it was the right thing to do.

Whenever he thinks of himself who didn't stand up and stop loudly at that time, Su Chengcheng regrets and wants to slap himself.

Anger and remorse collided in his heart, causing him to turn away without hesitation.

The group of senior anchors were guarding in front of 408, and Su Cheng couldn't go in and find someone, so the only thing he could do now was to try his best to help Xu Wen fulfill his wish——

find sister.

Su Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes firmed.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that he had walked into darkness unknowingly.

The lights in the stairwell on this floor, I don't know why, actually went out.

too dark.

It was like being alone in a swamp, with a heavy darkness that could not be seen before, the sound and the light disappeared together, leaving only an uneasy abyss of nothingness.

Su Cheng stopped in surprise.

what happened?

What exactly happened here?

Before he could figure out why, a black shadow suddenly rushed over from the darkness and pressed him against the wall!

"Well……!"

Su Cheng took a breath, and his pupils instantly tightened in shock and fear.

The flashlight was brutally snatched away.

In the next second, the only source of light disappeared, leaving only a bottomless darkness in front of him.

Do not!

To escape!

Su Cheng gasped in horror, his back was firmly pressed against the hard wall, and he struggled desperately with all his strength until—

"Quiet."

The deliberately lowered voice rang in the ear, the clean voice, the slightly hurried articulation, everything seemed so familiar.

"...!"

Su Cheng slowly widened his eyes, and his tense limbs relaxed little by little.

He took a deep breath and whispered cautiously, almost in disbelief, "Brother Wen...?"

"it's me."

After hearing this familiar answer, Su Cheng's eyes became hot and he almost burst into tears:

"I, I thought—"

"Me too."

Wen Jianyan interrupted him and said quickly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the other person's blurred silhouette in the darkness.

If it was those senior anchors who came, Wen Jianyan would definitely not take the flashlight, he would just turn around and run away. As for whether anyone will die under Xu Yuan's hands this time, it is not something he can care about. .

However, after discovering that it was Su Cheng, Wen Jianyan immediately changed his strategy.

A living comrade is more useful than a dead one.

——However, he must first know how much the other party understands about what happened before.

Wen Jianyan let go of Su Cheng's hand:

"What about the other students? How did you separate from them?"

Contrary to his indifferent expression, his voice was full of warmth, as if he cared about each other and his companions from the bottom of his heart.

"After you entered 408, I took the initiative to leave."

Su Cheng sniffed and looked at each other in the dark, with a rare solemnity and calmness in his voice: "Brother Wen, I have to confess something to you."

"I'm not a student, and the people I met on the fourth floor before were not students either. We all came here with the same purpose. They have bad intentions. The reason why they acted with you just now is to use you to get some things, trick you into finding your way into dangerous places."

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said the words that he had held in his heart for a long time:

"And... in fact, I am just like them, and we all have impure goals."

There was silence in front of him.

Su Cheng looked into the darkness and waited anxiously.

After a long time, I heard a sigh from the other side: "Don't say that."

The youth's voice was particularly soft in the dark:

"After all, didn't I act with you in the first place to hope for your help?"

Su Cheng's nose was sour.

He didn't expect that the other party would actually comfort him in this way...

what! What a good man! !

"……Grass."

"…………Grass."

"...Unexpectedly, the anchor didn't lie this time."

"But he is still regarded as a good person hahahahahaha!"

"Wake up! This is the person in front of you who really has bad intentions!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

After being pulled up by Wen Jianyan's hand, Su Cheng asked, "Brother Wen, what's your next move? What's the plan?"

"..."

If this question appeared ten minutes ago, Wen Jianyan would have never hesitated to choose to fish in troubled waters and wait for the time to pass.

However, thinking of the bright [0] in his account now, Wen Jianyan could only swallow a mouthful of old blood back into her stomach, endured the toothache, and tried her best to answer in a calm voice:

"I know how to find my sister."

——After all, he just smashed the light bulb, forcing his "sister" to be unable to show up.

However, the situation is completely reversed now and just now.

At that time, the account points were enough, and the task of returning the face to Xu Yuan could be done or not.

But now Wen Jianyan has to do it.

Otherwise he won't be able to survive the next few hours!

"What?!" Su Cheng was startled and suddenly looked up at the young man in front of him: "You, have you found a clue?"

"more or less."

Wen Jianyan paused and said, "It's just that this may require your help."

Unexpectedly, after his confession, the other party is still willing to cooperate.

Su Cheng, who was already ashamed, was even more moved at this moment. He nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem."

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes and smiled silently in the dark, with a sincere and sincere tone:

"Thank you very much."

The third floor of the dormitory building.

There was no light in the entire corridor, only a bottomless, thick darkness.

Wen Jianyan touched the room where she woke up according to her memory.

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed open the door.

A hoarse creaking sound rang out in the dead silence, and it seemed particularly permeable to the ears.

Wen Jianyan stood at the door without moving forward, and said in a calm and peaceful voice:

"Hey."

The sound was like a stone falling into the abyss. It didn't arouse in the slightest, and disappeared directly into the darkness.

No answer.

The open door is like a black mouth, waiting to devour the next figure who enters it.

Wen Jianyan is not going to go any further this time:

"What, are you still waiting for me to go in?"

"..."

There was still silence in the ears.

Wen Jianyan's fingertips flicked, and the human skin portrait unfolded:

"Or...you don't want this anymore?"

The young man's voice was low, with a low tone, as if he was singing an aria, which sounded extremely...

Not beaten.

Before he could finish speaking, a strange voice sounded from the dark doorway in front of him—

"Kaka, Kaka..."

It was like the choking sound when the neck was turned, and the friction sound when the utility knife was slowly pushed out.

Sharp, harsh, and creepy-sounding.

very good.

Wen Jianyan took two steps back slowly, and before the voice approached, he turned around suddenly and dashed towards a direction in the darkness.

Rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor, in tune with the rhythm of the beating of the heart.

Behind the head is the sound of Ka Ka accompanying the shadow, as if the ghost is chasing after him.

Losing the light source and seeing nothing clearly in front of him, Wen Jianyan could only sprint in the dark with his own memory.

Immediately - coming soon!

The ground under his feet creaked, and a familiar blurry outline was faintly seen not far away, and Wen Jianyan shouted sharply:

"Now--!"

With just a bang, a flashlight suddenly lit up, making it particularly abrupt in the dark corridor.

Wen Jianyan's slender figure flashed to the side nimbly and let go.

There are several mirrors collected from different bedrooms. They are leaning against the wall. There are countless pieces of glass scattered on the ground. .

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

An extremely sharp scream sounded, shrill and ear-piercing, as if a sharp cone pierced into the eardrum!

Wen Jianyan raised her hand to block the light, her eyes stabbed by the bright light narrowed slightly, and she looked in the direction from which the voice came.

The female student in the old school uniform was standing upright among the countless pieces of glass at the moment. She seemed to want to struggle, but she couldn't move, and the bones on her body were distorted into strange angles.

Her figure is reflected in every mirror on the ground.

Hearing a "click", the utility knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Ghost Shadow's arm was raised unnaturally and slowly, her pale, twisted fingers bent inward little by little, choking her own neck tightly.

The next second, a shrill scream resounded throughout the building.

Wen Jianyan turned sideways subconsciously, avoiding the dazzling gaze that suddenly exploded.

The place where he woke up was Xu Yuan himself, and the room of the roommate who tried to snatch her identity, the mirror, the first time he was entangled by Xu Yuan, and the second time he was passively accepted the task of hiding the props, also In other words, there were two ghosts in that room, but they did not appear at the same time.

Then contacted the low aggression shown by the fake who posted the task, and the high risk shown by Xu Yuan. Although Wen Jianyan didn't know the reason, he still decided to take a gamble.

——Simply put, it is to divert the attention and hatred of the other party.

At least don't get slaughtered immediately.

Soon, the light disappeared.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and looked up not far away.

Among the shards of glass on the ground, a pale figure gradually solidified.

Wet, jet-black hair, a mask-like stiff and weird smile, and pure black eyes.

Xu Yuan.

She slowly stepped forward and walked in this direction. Her figure seemed to be unstable, and the phantom kept shining.

Wen Jianyan stood up and handed over the human skin portrait in her hand:

"I think this should be yours."

Behind him, Su Cheng stared at the strange scene in front of him without blinking, his fingers holding the flashlight trembled slightly, and every nerve in his body was tense to the extreme.

He remembered Wen Jianyan's exhortation just now.

As soon as you see something wrong, turn off the lights immediately.

Xu Yuan lowered her head slowly, her gaze fixed on the portrait in Wen Jianyan's hand.

The pale mask seemed to be cracked, and a touch of human emotion appeared on her face, but it quickly disappeared: "Do you think it's what I've been looking for?"

Her voice was rough and hoarse, and there was distinct malice in her gloomy tone:

"--you guessed wrong."

"Do not."

Wen Jianyan shook her head and said in a calm voice, "If your purpose is to find your own face, you won't steal the identity of a living person and lead more people to the fourth floor."

To be precise, the person who is eager to get this "face" is not Xu Yuan standing in front of him, but the fake "Xu Yuan" who is trying to steal Xu Yuan's identity.

The task of "returning the face to Xu Yuan" is a pit in itself.

As a fraudster, Wen Jianyan is very clear-desire is weakness.

If you want to achieve your goals through trading, you must find what the other party desires most.

So, what does Xu Yuan long for?

Wen Jianyan recalled the few words he saw in the booklet, and organized the messy clues in an orderly manner, and gradually more specific guesses emerged in his heart.

He continued:

"I guess you should also make a deal with the mirror, but the price is to attract more sacrifices for the mirror, right?"

Xu Yuan raised her head abruptly, and her face became even more terrifying under the light, as if she was laughing silently, and she seemed to be roaring and wailing silently.

"Don't you want freedom?"

The young man stared at her, with sincere words and sincere eyes: "Don't you want to be freed from endless slavery?"

He took a step forward and handed over the human skin in his hand:

"I can help you."

Time passed by little by little, and the air was as heavy as it was saturated with moisture, and people who were pressed could not get through it.

I don't know how long it's been-

Wen Jianyan found that the weight in her hand was light, and the next second, Xu Yuan's figure disappeared, and she slowly returned to the mirror.

In the mirror, Wen Jianyan saw a weird smile on his face:

"I'll give you two hours."

The next second, the figure in the mirror disappeared.

A mechanical sound rang in my ears:

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for returning Xu Yuan's face to the original owner, reward points: 5000]

【The Hidden Object (Epic) quest has been completed! Rewards are being distributed...]

[Modification of the plot at this stage: 83 Reward points: 20000]

"..."

Wen Jianyan took two steps back a little bit, leaning back against the wall and sliding down slowly.

After relaxing, the physiological reaction caused by the tension suddenly appeared on the body. The thin and straight back of the young man was tense, the slender arms of his hands trembled slightly, and he retched against the wall.

Su Cheng hurried over and patted Wen Jianyan's back nervously:

"Brother Wen, you, are you okay?"

Just as he was anxious and worried, a mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his ear:

【Ding! Congratulations for assisting other anchors to trigger the ultimate task of the hidden line of the copy of Decai Middle School: ? ? ? 】

[Completion time limit: two hours]

[Note: If the task fails, all the survival time and points will be deducted, and the live broadcast room of the host will be closed immediately. 】

Su Cheng: ? ? ?

and many more?

what's the situation?

Other anchors?

The ultimate main quest?

The amount of information in this system sound is too large, Su Cheng's brain is like an overloaded CPU, completely unable to process such complex information.

I can understand every word, why are they combined together... so hard to understand?

Su Cheng was immediately shut down, stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time.

"Ah, then there's no way to do that."

The young man on the side straightened up and looked sideways.

There were fine beads of sweat floating on his forehead, his face was pale and bleeding, his black hair was wet with sweat and standing on his cheeks, he looked extra weak and helpless.

The young man sighed softly:

"Let's get to know each other again."

The long and soft eyelashes are raised, and the amber eyes are particularly dignified in the light and shadow. It is still the same handsome and pale face, but at this moment, it has a kind of almost evil beauty, which looks dangerous and confusing in the dark. .

He stretched out a hand towards Su Cheng:

"Wen Jianyan, new anchor."

Wen Jianyan winked at him and said with a smile:

"First meeting, take care of you."
