Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 266

The ultimate main quest?

All four people present were stunned, they looked at each other and saw the shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

And... only ten minutes? !

All senior streamers know that once the ultimate mainline quest is started, it must be completed within a limited time, otherwise, even if the clearance conditions of the dungeon are met, it will be obliterated by the nightmare.

And now, the four hosts who got the invitations are undoubtedly about to face a situation of almost certain death...

An entire unexplored courtyard, a red-clothed female corpse that may come back at any time, a ten-minute time limit for the ultimate main quest, and there are no hints at all!

Several terrifying conditions slammed down on the head, and the people who were almost crushed couldn't breathe.

The wooden door of the courtyard in front of him silently opened inward, and the dark doorway was like an open greedy mouth, waiting for the victim to enter.

The icy, rancid smell came from it, chilling the spinal cord and making the hair stand on end.

Almost without thinking, Tangerine Candy reacted immediately and said briefly:

"Fast forward!"

The ten-minute time limit is like the sword of Damocles hanging above the head. Every minute and every second cannot be wasted. Even if there is little hope, we must hurry up.

The rest of the people nodded.

Under the urging of the completion time of the final main quest, they did not dare to hesitate any longer, and stepped over the threshold with the fastest speed, and walked towards the "fifth floor", which is the courtyard in front of them.

"..."

Wen Jianyan stared at the courtyard in front of her, gritted her teeth, and then walked in.

At the moment of crossing the threshold, the lantern hanging in the courtyard slowly lit up, dispelling the deep and solid darkness in the courtyard.

The courtyard in front of it is not big, and it is almost no different from the courtyard in the previous portrait on the third floor. The only difference is that there are four lanterns hanging on the eaves on both sides of the courtyard.

The lantern on the left is white with a big "Dian" written on it, and the lantern on the right is red with a big "囍" written on it.

All the lanterns were on, giving off a bleak light.

The most frightening thing is that the courtyard is not "empty".

There are many paper figures standing in the courtyard.

They are all made of paper, their faces are pale, their brows and eyes are dull, their cheeks and lips are painted blood red, and they have stiff and weird smiles on their faces. They stand scattered in various parts of the courtyard. When looking inside the painting, the paper figures carrying the paper sedan chair to the fifth floor are exactly the same.

At this moment, they all faced the door in unison, staring at the four people who walked into the courtyard with their expressionless eyes. The strange smiles on their faces were illuminated by red or white lights, which looked extremely terrifying. It makes you feel cold behind your back.

Wen Jianyan, who was walking at the end, lowered her head and glanced at herself quickly.

Well, the look is still there.

While heaving a sigh of relief, he seemed to have thought of something, showing a thoughtful look.

First of all, they must have entered the fifth floor of Changsheng Building this time, and this is an existence independent of the copy, which is absolutely not a problem - according to the zigzag electric sound that appeared when the system just released the task It can also be seen that the influence of nightmares here is extremely limited.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the duration of the final main quest is set so short.

However, the last time, before entering the fifth floor, his live broadcast interface turned gray directly, that is to say, the nightmare had completely lost its influence there, so the appearance of his body disappeared, but This time is different.

Although he entered the same place, his appearance did not disappear this time, and the live broadcast room and the system store interface can also be opened. Although the system just announced the sound of poor signal interference, it can be released normally. Task.

All of this means that Nightmare hasn't lost control like it did last time.

……why?

Why is it obviously the same layer, but it was lost last time, but not this time?

Is it because they chose "another way" to go upstairs, as Wu Zhu said?

While Wen Jianyan was in deep thought, Qi Qian, who was beside him, said quickly:

"To save time, we searched separately—"

"Need not."

Wen Jianyan suddenly interrupted him.

In an instant, everyone was stunned and turned to look in his direction.

"It gave us ten minutes, there must be a reason," Wen Jianyan said with narrowed eyes, "so I guess that although the 'fifth floor' is not low in danger, the exploration area is definitely not large, so, Blindly separate searches are of little use."

"We are divided into two teams," Wen Jianyan said straight, "Jiangtang and I will go to the north room, and the two of you will go to the east room."

Countless previous experiences have proved that the layout of the courtyard is very critical.

Although this is the fifth floor, it also conforms to the rules.

The room on the west side is a "safe house", and the possibility of clues is not high. The room on the north side should be the most critical and most dangerous place. You can explore it together with Tangerine Candy, who has the highest force value. It has never been opened several times, but after all, it is also a part of the courtyard. Wen Jianyan does not believe that there will be a similar "waste pen" in this dungeon, so it will most likely be opened in the fifth floor.

According to the survival rate of shops on the east side of [Changsheng Building], it can be seen that the probability of danger in the east side room is not high, so the high probability is the clue room, which is more suitable for Su Cheng, who is a prophet, and Qi Qian. At the same time, they also have a decent force value. Even if there is an accident, they should be able to deal with it in time.

Tangerine Candy shrugged indifferently: "Okay."

"Let's go." As soon as Wen Jianyan's voice fell, the group immediately dispersed, not daring to waste a minute or a second, and ran straight towards the destination.

The air was dead silent.

The door of the room on the north side was wide open, and there were two paper figures standing on the left and right of the door. They were slightly bent, their pale and stiff faces were smiling, as if they were welcoming guests from afar.

Even though he knew that the probability of it attacking him was not high, Wen Jianyan couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and walked forward while keeping the distance from the paper man as much as possible.

As if Tangerine Candy was completely undisturbed, he entered the room on the north side with a clear goal.

At the moment of entering the North Room, the candle was lit by an invisible force and lit up with a "poof".

Light illuminates the hall.

Wen Jianyan was at the door of the North House, looking into the room.

The room in front of him was almost the same as what he had seen in the third painting on the third floor.

In the center of the empty hall, there was a heavy coffin. The coffin was smeared with scarlet and sticky paint, as if it had not dried up, and blood would drip in the next second. Behind the coffin were candlesticks and The long table of offerings, the candles on the candlesticks are lit, and the faint light envelopes the offerings on the table.

Fruits, pastries, cooked meats.

The three offerings looked very fresh, with no trace of corruption at all.

On the Eight Immortals chairs on both sides of the table, two paper figures sat upright.

The paper figurines sat upright on both sides, with stiff and weird smiles on their faces, fixedly watching the two "guests" who walked in.

"..."

Wen Jianyan looked around, and there was a burst of hair behind her back.

There are not only these two paper figures in the hall. In the distance, in the darkness that cannot be illuminated by candlelight, many motionless shadows can be vaguely seen. Red and lips, and the expressionless eyes that were fixedly staring in this direction.

"Do you want to open the coffin?" Orange Tang asked, looking at the most conspicuous coffin in the center of the house.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and calmed down: "Open."

He had guessed correctly before, the third floor, the courtyard in the last painting, was indeed a replica of the fifth floor. That's why the corpse of the woman in red chose the "commodity" in the painting, and that's why there is a path extending into the cemetery and the road into the real fifth floor in the courtyard.

The light is on, and the one with paper figures is the fifth floor; the one without light and empty is the courtyard in the painting.

That being the case, the experience he gained in the courtyard on the third floor can actually be replaced on the fifth floor.

There, the real "core curse" is in the coffin, and since this is the case, it should be the same here.

The two stepped forward quickly, lifted the heavy wooden coffin lid from left to right, and pushed it hard into the distance.

"Squeak-"

A harsh screeching sound rang out in the empty, dead darkness.

Under the combined force of the two, the scarlet coffin board was removed little by little.

The coffin is slowly being opened.

The inside of the coffin was pitch black, and even candle light could not illuminate it, and the cold and cold aura slowly escaped from it.

Soon, only a loud "dong" sound was heard, and the coffin board was completely removed and fell heavily on the ground.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and looked into the coffin.

As expected, it is an empty coffin.

In the center of the coffin, a dagger was deeply inserted.

Appears to be brass.

The rust-covered blade sank deeply into the bottom of the coffin, and the thick bottom plate below showed a dark and sticky asphalt color, as if the solidified blood had penetrated deeply into the wood texture.

"You step back a little."

Candy Orange said.

Holding the edge of the coffin with one hand, she jumped suddenly, and the upper half of her body reached into the coffin, almost being swallowed into the darkness. Even Wen Jianyan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel frightened.

However, the imaginary dangerous scenario did not happen.

Tangerine Candy quickly retracted her body from the coffin. She was empty-handed and shook her head, with a rare look of doubt on her face: "I can't pull it out."

Wen Jianyan: "I'll try."

Saying that, he took a deep breath and leaned in, grabbed the hilt of the dagger in his hand, and then exerted a little force—

Something unexpected happened.

The blade of the candy orange that couldn't get out of the bottom of the coffin anyway, was very tame in Wen Jianyan's hand, and it was pulled out from the deep wooden board with little force.

"!" Tangerine Tang's eyes widened slightly and seemed a little surprised.

Obviously, she didn't expect that a dagger that even she couldn't pull out would be stabbed by Wen Jianyan, who seemed to be powerless.

It seems that this should have nothing to do with strength, but with some other hidden conditions.

The moment the dagger fell into his hands, a familiar system prompt sounded in Wen Jianyan's ears.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations...Zizi...The anchor has obtained a copy of...Zizi...the hidden item (legend)! 】

[Collection degree: 1/? 】

The hilt of the dagger was pitted, as if carved with something.

Wen Jianyan was startled, lowered his head, leaned a little closer, and looked at the brass dagger in his hand by the weak light.

The dagger was old, but the notch was new.

It is engraved with a pattern resembling a lotus flower.

Wen Jianyan traced the edge of the pattern with her fingers, and suddenly, in the blink of an eye, a strange inspiration came into her mind.

……paper man.

lotus.

The Bodhisattva sits cross-legged in the lotus flower, holding the instrument in one hand and the head in the other. The faces of the three chapters face in different directions.

The front is compassionate, the left is angry, the right is sad.

Isn't that the evil Bodhisattva enshrined in the copy of [Antai Community]? !

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Wen Jianyan's back, and just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, not far away, a nervous voice of Tangerine Candy suddenly sounded:

"Be careful!"

The whirring of the wind came from behind.

The next second, a cold pale hand tightly clasped Wen Jianyan's arm.

"?!"

Wen Jianyan's pupils shrank, and she turned her head sharply to look.

It was still hidden in the darkness just now, and the motionless paper figurine did not know when it started to move.

One of them was standing right behind him!

Under the light of the candlelight, the stiff smiling face was very close, and a pair of expressionless eyes stared at Wen Jianyan, making the hair on the back stand on end!

"Chichi!"

The candlelight flickered violently.

The original dim yellow color was turning into an ominous blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if blood spilled from the wound, smearing the entire room.

"Da... da da... da da."

There were stiff footsteps in all directions.

Paper figures came out of the darkness, and the blood-red light fell on their bloodless pale faces, illuminating the indistinguishable weird smiles.

They walked forward one by one, and together they reached out to Wen Jianyan.
