Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 23

The morgue was pitch black, and there were no fingers to reach.

The cold air was filled with the pungent smell of formalin, and the rotten smell of the corpse could be vaguely smelled.

The bare soles of the feet rubbed against the ground, moving slowly and sluggishly in the darkness.

"Jingle", "Jingle".

Eerie bells rang from all directions, echoing in the empty morgue.

In the corner of the third mortuary, Qi Shen curled up on the ground and shivered.

He buried his head deep in his knees, holding something tightly in his hands, as if in a daze, and from time to time he let out indistinct screams in his throat.

"Jingle", "Jingle"—

The sound of the bell is approaching.

Qi Shen's eyes widened in horror, staring at the bottomless darkness in front of him, and he had already begun to construct a picture in his mind.

The pale corpse swayed as it approached him step by step, the bells on the ankles made sounds as they walked, and a pair of murky, dead gray eyes stared at him, and then slowly stretched out a stiff, cold hand—

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Qi Shen let out a sharp and intermittent scream, and retreated back in horror.

"Jingle, jingle."

The voice quickly approached.

It's so close, it's almost like it's ringing in my ears.

The next second, a palm came from the depths of the darkness without warning, and suddenly covered Qi Shen's mouth, blocking the rest of his screams back into his throat, turning into a meaningless "woo". woo" sound.

"Shh, be quiet!"

The youth's deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ear: "It's me."

But Qi Shen still seemed to be caught in a nightmare, like a dehydrated fish, struggling frantically and trembling, the strength bursting out of despair was too great, Wen Jianyan could hardly hold him, the other party's The back of his head banged against the metal refrigerator, making a strange noise in the darkness.

If it goes on like this, it will definitely attract the attention of the corpses, and his previous efforts will be in vain.

"Don't move." The other party hurriedly said, and his voice was calm: "I'm also here to find your sister."

"!!!"

The moment these two words came out, Qi Shen suddenly stopped struggling.

He was still trembling in horror, but the look in his eyes gradually became clearer, as if he had finally recovered.

Qi Shen gasped sharply, rolled his eyes with difficulty, and tried to look at the man covering his mouth.

Can't see anything.

However, in the dead silence, I could vaguely hear the sound of breathing other than myself. Although it was a little short, it was controlled evenly and steadily.

The hand covering his nose and mouth was strong and warm, a human body was clinging to him, with his breathing up and down his chest, the fiery temperature of his skin was all transmitted from the darkness.

Qi Shen finally calmed down.

He held on to the other person tightly and didn't let go, as if he was clenching the last straw.

"..."

The life-saving straw's face twisted slightly in the darkness.

hiss.

This hand is really strong, and the place where he is pinched will definitely turn green after a while.

Wen Jianyan walked very carefully this way.

As an old acquaintance who has been targeted by this garbage live broadcast room several times, he already had a vague feeling about the current situation before getting on the elevator.

Therefore, in order to prevent the previous chase from happening again, since entering the morgue, Wen Jianyan has been memorizing the layout and route here.

Although the darkness also brought him a lot of obstacles, it would not be a problem after groping in the dark for a while.

Wen Jianyan listened carefully to the sound of the bell, made noises in the other two morgues, led away the dead corpses in the corridor, and then left quickly, carefully avoiding the sound of the bell, while heading towards the third room. Came to the morgue.

After holding down Qi Shen, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, finally caught up.

The ten-minute search time should be almost over. Wen Jianyan stared at the darkness in front of her eyes, every nerve in her body was subconsciously tense, and she silently counted the countdown in her heart.

Waiting in the dark is always tormenting. I don’t know how long it has passed, and the familiar voice sounded again:

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the scene: hide and seek! 】

【Reward Points: 5000】

The moment the sound fell, the jingling bells in the distance disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared.

Wen Jianyan suddenly felt amnesty, exhaled slowly, and his body relaxed a little bit.

He let go of Qi Shen, who was still trembling, took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and ended the looping playback of the recording.

At the moment when the stop button was pressed, there was only a boundless silence in the darkness.

Compared with just now, the dead silence at the moment seemed extremely reassuring.

Not far away, the sound of the refrigerator door being pushed open sounded, and Su Cheng's voice, half nervous and half hesitant, sounded from the first morgue: "Hey...you, are you still alive?"

Wen Jianyan wiped her face, raised her voice and said, "I'm still alive."

Su Cheng's voice was remarkably relaxed: "That's great... It really scared me to death just now."

He was alone in the refrigerator, listening nervously to the noise outside.

Suddenly, the thin light that penetrated through the crevice of the cabinet suddenly disappeared, leaving only darkness, and then, things gradually became weird.

The sound of bells became more and more complex, and the sound of fast running that was deliberately lowered could be vaguely heard. From time to time, various strange noises sounded from different directions. There was no movement in the cabinet.

While he was worried about whether they did something wrong, he couldn't help worrying about the safety of Wen Jianyan, who was not with him, until the sound of the final task completion prompt sounded, and he finally felt relieved.

"Why did the lights go out?"

Wen Jianyan slumped on the ground, and as the adrenaline disappeared, the side effects of the thrilling scene just now finally took effect.

His hands and feet are weak now, and he can hardly get up, so he can only command Su Cheng with a weak voice:

"I closed it, you... go to the elevator, about five steps to the right of the elevator door, and you can touch the electric switch."

Across the wall and the corridor, Wen Jianyan heard Su Cheng groping forward in the dark, and from time to time there were a few "clanging" sounds of people hitting the open refrigerator door, and the other party gasping for breath. Cool voice.

Three minutes later, there was a "pop" sound in the distance.

The switch was closed.

The lamp above the head made a sizzling sound, and then turned on together.

The sudden light made Wen Jianyan's eyes flicker, and he narrowed his eyes subconsciously. After a while, he finally got used to the light.

The cramped mortuary has been restored to its original state, except for the open refrigerator door.

In the third morgue, the missing corpse also lay back on the iron bed obediently. Except that the white cloth covering it had not recovered, the rest was almost the same as before.

Soon, Su Cheng rushed in from the corridor: "Are you okay?"

Wen Jianyan's face was white, she stood up staggeringly, and waved at the other party, indicating that she was all right—

Then he rushed to the edge of the corner, leaning against the wall and retching.

Su Cheng: "..."

You don't look like it's okay.

He stepped forward and glanced at Qi Shen, who was still sitting in the corner. He had a general idea of ​​what was going on in his heart. It is estimated that Wen Jianyan didn't know what method he thought of just now, so he started from hiding. rushed out and rescued the NPC.

Su Cheng patted Wen Jianyan's back, the young man's back was arched, trembling slightly from retching, and he could almost feel the other's bulging thin bones under his palm.

After a few seconds, Wen Jianyan straightened up in prostration.

His face was pale, and he couldn't see that he would have the courage to rush out of the hiding place.

Su Cheng stared at the young man in front of him with a puzzled face.

Really... I don't know if this guy is mentally good or bad.

To put it alright, it's not that every time you encounter a ghost, you run faster than anyone else, and vomit more often than anyone else.

It's not good to say, sometimes what he can do, just thinking about Sucheng in his mind feels terrifying.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and wiped the corners of her lips. Except that her face was a little paler than before, it looked the same as before.

He took two steps towards Qi Shen, who was still slumped on the ground. Before he could say anything, Yu Guang was attracted by something beside him—

Wen Jianyan turned her head to look at the iron bed, and subconsciously took a deep breath.

The corpse came back, but the white cloth on his body was also lifted, revealing its full face clearly.

This is a male corpse.

A large wound opened on his neck, which just cut off the aorta. Through the whitish and rolled flesh, the pale neck bones were faintly visible.

But the shocking throat cut wasn't the real reason for the attention.

The reason why he attracted Wen Jianyan's attention was because of his face——

On the pale face of the corpse, thin black lines like crooked worms passed through the blue-purple bloody eyelids and lips, and sewed his upper and lower eyelids and mouth together.

According to the color of the wound, it should have been sewn up while alive.

Su Cheng raised his hand and twisted the tag on the other's foot, and read: "Zhang Hua, twenty-five years old, estimated time of death: 2:00 a.m. on April 20, 2014."

Other than that, there is no other information.

Wen Jianyan walked to the front of the stage and looked at the male corpse in front of him. He was not a coroner, but as a professional fraudster, he had his own way of obtaining information.

He held up the other's palm and looked at it.

The knuckles have calluses, and according to the location, they should be long-term manual workers.

There are traces of being bound on the wrist. According to the color of the blood and the angle of rotation of the wrist joint, he was tied behind his back during his lifetime.

But obviously, the other party failed, otherwise the corpse would not be placed in front of them.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ah ah ah ah anchor nb!"

"My dear, this is a high difficulty branch! Even in the C-level dungeon, the high difficulty branch is not something that can be done casually. It's really awesome."

"And the operation just now was really amazing, I really can't think of anyone who would think of this solution... Not only the map is memorized, but also the position of the corpse can be accurately predicted through the sound, this is simply an escape master! "

"It's really good. Although it's theoretically feasible, it's as difficult as the sky. In fact, I always believed that the anchor was a rookie. Now I have to deviate from the vest..."

Wen Jianyan secretly memorized the details he observed from the corpse in his heart, which might come in handy later.

At this time, Qi Shen, who had been slumped on the ground since just now, finally got up and walked forward slowly.

He held his breath slightly, looking at Wen Jianyan half in disbelief and half in hope:

"Brother Zhao, you just said...you came to see my sister...yes, is it true?"

Wen Jianyan was awakened from his meditation by the other party's voice.

"..."

Grass, almost forgot about this stubble.

Generally speaking, Wen Jianyan would not tell such a lie on the premise that he has far less information than others, especially if it involves relatives who are extremely familiar with the other party, but he knows nothing about.

The chances of this kind of lie being exposed are too great, even Wen Jianyan can't guarantee that it won't go wrong.

However, the situation was urgent just now. In order to prevent Qi Shen from continuing to struggle frantically and lead to death, he had to resort to this strategy...

Lying is cool for a while, and lying about the crematorium.

But what can be done now?

Desperately round.

Wen Jianyan cheered up 120,000 points, took a deep breath, turned to look at Qi Shen, and nodded slowly:

"Is such that."

Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan with a confused look, his head full of small question marks.

Dude, what are you talking about?

Wen Jianyan did not look at the other party, but said in a low tone:

"A Qing and I used to be a couple."

"what?!"

Qi Shen and Su Cheng screamed at the same time.

On the list that Xue Mingyan gave to Wen Jianyan, the basic information of the corpse was written, including the corpse that disappeared from the beginning and has not reappeared until now.

Lin Qing, female, 29 years old.

Although the two have different surnames, according to the previous situation, Wen Jianyan boldly guessed that the deceased might be Qi Shen's sister.

So he took a gamble.

"But...but...my sister never told me."

Qi Shen said in disbelief: "She actually fell in love with you? This... how is this possible?"

Good, bet right.

Wen Jian breathed a sigh of relief without a trace.

Great, then you can play freely.

"At that time, she came to see you at school, and I don't know why she happened to chat with me. Although it has been a long time, I have forgotten the content of our chat, but I can still recall the time when she smiled at me that day. The way it looks, I think... I've been moved since then."

Wen Jianyan sighed softly,

"Later we added contact information, and we got to know each other slowly."

Qi Shen thought about it for a few seconds, and then seemed to think of something, his eyes widened slightly, and he slowly took a breath: "...You two met when I was a sophomore?"

The details are right, steady.

Even if Qi Shen argues that his sister has never come to school to find him, Wen Jianyan has a way to make things right.

The two have different surnames, and it is very likely that they have been separated since they were young, because of family reasons. Then, her coming to school can also be explained as: although her sister doesn't say it on the surface, she actually cares about her brother very much, so I secretly came to visit the school after work, but never told the other party.

As long as you bring the other person into your own rhythm, the next step is much easier.

"We've been secretly dating, but because of our huge age gap, and I'm your college classmate, your sister has been reluctant to disclose our relationship."

Under the light, the handsome young man raised his thin eyelids, and under his long and thick eyelashes, a pair of amber-colored Qingling eyes fixedly looked over, his sad eyes almost hot, the heart trembled:

"Then... we broke up."

"When I hear Ah Qing's name again, it will be her death."

He looks sad and affectionate, and the outline of Qing Jun's face is covered with a layer of melancholy color, which can almost move the hearts of people: "That's why I asked my tutor, hoping to arrange me in the school. The intern team of Fukang Private General Hospital just wants to see her secretly one last time."

Su Cheng: "…………"

I fucking believe you!

Dog liar, you are too impersonal! It’s okay to lie to me at the beginning, but now you lie to the NPC!

The new victim Qi Shen showed a deeply moved expression on his face, and it was obvious that he had completely believed the other party's lies.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"..."

"Looking up at the name of the live broadcast room, everyone understands what I want to say?"

"Come on, everyone, spit and go! [50 reward points]"

"Bah! Shameless! [100 reward points]"

"Although I know this dog liar is made up, but his affectionate appearance is really handsome, and I am moved [reward points 50]"

"Let's give, let's give! The present is here! Thank you everyone, we will be together!"

The air was dead silent.

After a long time, Qi Shen took a deep breath slowly, as if he had made up his mind: "Since you and my sister have such a relationship, then I won't hide this from you."

"I just heard my sister speak to me."

Wen Jianyan took a step forward, her eyes widened in amazement: "What?"

"She... let me get out of here quickly." Qi Shen said reluctantly.

He opened his hand, revealing what he had been holding tightly in the palm of his hand—it was a narrow card, like a work card:

"And then, then she stuffed me with this."

Wen Jianyan stretched out her hand and took the card from the opponent's palm.

In an instant, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Congratulations to the anchor for getting the hidden item in the copy (difficult)!"

【Collection degree 1/4】

Wen Jianyan made up his mind and looked at the card in his hand.

The plastic seal on the identity card was slightly folded, and there was a little tan dried blood on it. Across the blood, Lin Qing, who was wearing a white coat, smiled on the one-inch photo.

- Attending physician in obstetrics and gynecology.

Wen Jianyan looked up at Qi Shen and asked cautiously, "This photo... can I keep it?"

His face was pale, his thin lips were pursed, and he looked extremely vulnerable: "We have always been in an underground relationship, and I have nothing to miss her, not even a photo..."

"certainly."

Qi Shen sighed sadly, he stepped forward, raised his hand and patted Wen Jianyan's shoulder:

"You... keep it."

"..."

For the first time, Su Cheng, who watched the whole process from the perspective of God, couldn't bear to look away.

He silently covered his face.

After all, as a former victim, the sense of substitution in this scene is too strong!
