Welcome to the Nightmare Live - Ch 17

Decai Middle School

Thank you @MochiiSpiider for Ko-fi~

Kong Shixing walked downstairs with an ashen face.

After realising that he had been tricked, he immediately understood — the other party was probably an anchor.

A complete liar.

Kong Shixing never thought that he would be played so miserably one day.

And would be played from beginning to end.

Not only did he not get half a cent of the advantage, but even the things he had already obtained were deceived. Even the red bag he had been keeping was taken away for no apparent reason.

Although he didn’t know what exactly had happened, Kong Shixing still put the whole account on the damn liar.

In any case, he couldn’t get away from the responsibility.

——Not to mention, he made such a big fool of himself in his own live broadcast room.

Thinking of how excited and stupid he was just now, Kong Shixing’s face couldn’t help but look ugly again. The fingers holding the flashlight tightened subconsciously, and his knuckles made a clucking sound.

He doesn’t know whether that anchor was alive or dead, but if he appeared in front of him again, he would be looking for his own death. He must use all his means to make him kneel at his feet and cry bitterly, regretting what he did today.

As Kong Shixing walked down from the fourth floor, he imagined the scene of revenge in the future over and over again, and his face became distorted with illusory pleasure.

At this moment, a figure suddenly turned around the corner and slammed into him!

Kong Shixing was taken aback, the flashlight in his hand trembled slightly, and the swaying beam of light swept past, illuminating a particularly familiar face—

Handsome facial features, amber eyes, and a pale face filled with panic.

After a brief stunned moment, Kong Shixing’s eyes suddenly lit up with a vicious light.

It was the liar who played him around!

The other party obviously found out who he had bumped into. His eyes widened slightly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Kong Shixing couldn’t help but laugh fiercely. He hadn’t been so excited for a long time.

He thought he would have to wait for a few more instances to see this liar again, but he didn’t expect to meet him just after going downstairs. He didn’t even have to wear out his iron shoes1Search everywhere and got him without effort.

The young man’s face was white, he slowly took a few steps back, his lips trembling slightly as if he hadn’t yet recovered from the shock.

In the next second, heavy footsteps came from the depths of the corridor, and the strange humming sound echoed in the darkness, seeming particularly piercing.

The young man’s breathing stopped and the face that was already pale due to blood loss became even bleaker.

He turned around and rushed in the other direction!

Seeing this, Kong Shixing immediately understood the current situation.

Although the other party was full of lies before, he shouldn’t have lied about the old witch’s hatred.

Being reduced to this point now, it’s hard not to say that he deserves it.

Kong Shixing raised his lips and revealed a sinister smile.

This is a good opportunity to take revenge.

In this kind of thing, he has never been stingy with his points.

Just then a “crashing” sound sounded, and the sound of metal chains colliding echoed in the dark and long corridor. The back of the young man running towards the distance was bound by some invisible force, and he couldn’t even move half a step.

Behind, the voice of the old witch was getting closer and closer, the ground shook, and the sound of water dripping gradually became louder.

The space was cramped, the air was tense, and some kind of terror settled in the darkness.

The youth struggled desperately but was completely unable to escape.

He turned his head to look at Kong Shixing and said in a weak and trembling tone: “Please… I was wrong. I, I will return your things to you. Please let me go…”

“Hahaha…”

Kong Shixing couldn’t help laughing, his expression slightly distorted with excitement and pleasure: “When you were playing with me, you should have thought of now. Let you go? Impossible!”

The young man’s face turned pale again.

He murmured and said in a very low voice: “Please, please, let me go. It will be good for both of us, please…”

“Hehehe…”

The smile on Kong Shixing’s face deepened.

“I want to watch you being tortured to death with my own eyes, enjoy your wailing and struggle, and watch you scream on the edge of death. But you can continue to beg me, maybe I will really let you go.”

Although he said so, in his heart, he was not ready to let him go. Kong Shixing was just enjoying the appearance of the other party tossing and turning at his feet to survive, howling humbly.

The old witch was already very close.

A vague and eerie humming sound swirled, and the huge figure gradually entered the sight.

Compared to the last time they saw her, the old witch now looked more distorted and alienated.

On that deformed face, two bloody eye sockets could vaguely be seen, and countless bluish-black sarcoma-like swellings squeeze out from the gaps in the shrivelled clothes. The skin cracked, revealing countless dark and gloomy eyeballs, rolling and turning.

The smile at the corner of Kong Shixing’s mouth couldn’t help but expand more and more.

Very good.

Scream, howl, beg for mercy. I want to see you die in despair and regret—

“…Alas.”

The young man sighed softly.

Like the thin snow melting under the sun in winter, the previous expression of fear and despair faded instantly, and only faint regret and sympathy remained:

“I told you.”

Kong Shixing was stunned, and he couldn’t react for a while.

He didn’t quite understand why someone who had already fallen into a desperate situation suddenly became so calm.

Wen Jianyan’s lips had a careless and shallow arc, and his eyes were slightly raised. He smiled and said lightly, “Let me go. It will be good for both of us.”

Kong Shixing’s heart was suddenly alarmed.

Before he could react, the old witch was already close at hand, her huge body squirmed, and the countless pairs of eyes on her body twitched wildly, and then——

They locked onto Kong Shixing’s figure.

The humming stopped.

The old witch moved in his direction step by step.

What, what’s going on?

Kong Shixing’s face turned pale. He couldn’t help but take a step back, his mind was suddenly chaotic.

No, It shouldn’t.

The person who was locked in by NPC hatred was right in front of him, why did the old witch turn a blind eye to him and come toward him instead?

The young man’s calm and smiling voice sounded:

“If I were you, I’d touch the pocket on the left.”

Kong Shixing put his hand into his pocket, his fingers touched something hard, and he took it out—

Something fell down along with his movements, but Kong Shixing didn’t notice it at all. He stared at the shoddily made little puppet in his hand, and his pupils contracted instantly.

He recognized the prop.

Stand-in puppet, create a puppet which contains your smell, which works for one minute.

Suddenly, the scene when he collided with the other party, flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

It’s over.

It was definitely at that time. The other party stuffed the puppet into his pocket when he was not paying attention.

He was deceived again!!!

Not far away, the eyes on the old witch’s body rolled, and her gaze slowly landed on the ground—

The piece of paper that fell out of Kong Shixing’s pocket was a yellowed photograph.

It fell on the floor facing up, and through the half-dimmed light, two figures, one big and one small, snuggling together were vaguely visible; their smiles seemed vague and distant.

“…Uh, aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

A shrill scream of hatred rang out, and the old witch stared at Kong Shixing deadly. Her originally huge and cumbersome body suddenly moved at an astonishingly fast speed:

“Thief, thief, thief— ”

Her voice was frantic and full of hatred. She rushed toward the person in front of her full of anger!

Not good!

Kong Shixing was shocked.

In the end, he was also a senior anchor. The moment the opponent pounced on him, he reflexively activated the life-saving props on his body, and awkwardly blocked the opponent’s blow; while dodging, he cast a glance in Wen Jianyan’s direction.

The restraint prop has already lost its effect.

At the end of the corridor, the young man put one hand in his pocket and showed him a relaxed smile:

“Bye.”

After speaking, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the other party’s back, Kong Shixing’s eyes were filled with the desire to peel his skin and eat his flesh.

His teeth clenched, and his eyes burned with hatred.

If he could survive this time, he would dig three feet into the ground to find this liar, and use all means to make him pay the price!

In the 789326qwk live broadcast room.

[Damn, scored twice.]

[Fooled again, hahahahahahaha! MISERABLE.]

[It’s over. This hatred has become bone deep, hahahahahahaha. Damn liar’s enemy +1]

[Speaking of which, where did that photo come from? I don’t remember it.]

[It was a long time ago. There were not many people in the host’s live broadcast room at that time. I remember that it was in that special branch, where he combed Xiao Jie’s hair. After the end, the anchor took it from the secret compartment. I didn’t expect him to still carry it with him now.]

[But I still have to say, the anchor has actually given a lot of face this time. He really put the doll in the other’s pocket, but if Kong Shixing really let him go at that time, it will probably be just like what the anchor said: It will be good for both of them.]

[Just rely on this, you can’t survive without rewards anyway. (100 reward points)]

[To tell you the truth, I actually came from Kong Shixing’s live broadcast room next door. I wanted to see what kind of dog shit this was, but I didn’t expect to turn into a fan, so go! (500 reward points)]

[I want to tell a secret… When the anchor said please just now, I was filled with excitement, aaaahhhhh!]

[This is too colourful for me to stand aaaahhhhh! (100 reward Points)]

[The strange xp has increased (Composed)]

Taking advantage of the old witch being distracted by Kong Shixing, Su Cheng got out of the original hiding place: “Succeeded?”

Wen Jianyan lazily drew the corner of his lips:

“You don’t even see who I am.”

Su Cheng looked at the other party silently with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

He had been played for so long, and really felt resentment in his heart.

However, in that mission, the two of them were like grasshoppers tied on the same rope, and they had to work together. He had to suppress his emotions and continue to act with the other party.

Su Cheng really didn’t expect…

When being attacked by both sides with almost no hope of surviving, the other party didn’t hesitate to let him hide and face the old witch who was chasing him and the senior anchor who holds a grudge against him alone.

When he was hiding in the room just now, he stuck to the door panel and nervously listened to the noise outside.

Su Cheng recalled many previous details.

Although this liar was lying from beginning to end, he never pushed him out to prevent disasters, and even saved his life more than once.

Now, Su Cheng found he was completely unable to hold grudge against Wen Jianyan without knowing it.

After realizing this, he couldn’t help but feel a little sullen.

…this damn liar.

Wen Jianyan looked over and said, “Let’s go?”

Su Cheng looked away, gave a dull “um”, and nodded:

“Okay.”

The two left the dormitory building as quickly as possible.

At night, the entire campus was shrouded in impenetrable darkness, and the air was filled with ghostly auras, which was very terrifying.

In the distance, deep and faint shadows could be faintly seen approaching.

They couldn’t see their face or their body shape, but they could feel the strong malice coming from those shadows.

“Run.”

Wen Jianyan said in a low voice.

Su Cheng nodded.

The two ran wildly in the darkness.

Fortunately, they came out of the dormitory in time, and the space outside was not completely occupied by the shadows. After escaping several dangerous areas, the two finally came to the artificial lake.

The temperature here was extremely cold.

The lake was extremely calm, reflecting the dark sky, like bottomless black water, which makes people feel like they will be swallowed.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, took out the mirror fragment from his pocket, and slowly walked forward.

Su Cheng stood not far away, looking out for him, monitoring the movements of those dark shadows.

The risk of throwing the mirror fragment into the lake was too great.

If his initial guess was wrong, there would be no chance to come back.

Wen Jianyan leaned down and carefully placed the fragment into the shallowest part of the water.

The pitch-black water drowned his palm. The temperature of the lake water was bone-chilling, causing him to shiver subconsciously.

The mirror fragment sank into the water, and a strange little light reflected from the fragment.

【Ding! The ultimate hidden line task of Decai Middle School has been completed!】

【Points settlement is in progress!】

Hearing the system’s mechanical sound ringing in his ears, Wen Jianyan breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened up, and was about to turn around to tell the good news to Su Cheng, but in the next second, a sudden change occurred!

A pale arm stretched out from the lake without warning, and icy fingers tightly gripped Wen Jianyan’s wrist!

Wen Jianyan’s eyes widened in horror: “!”

This!

More arms emerged from the lake, grabbing his body, arms, calves, waist, and dragging him in together!

Wen Jianyan didn’t even have time to struggle, and the whole person fell into the pitch-black water with a thud.

The cold, smelly lake water poured into his mouth and nose, squeezing the air out of his lungs. He could only hear the gurgling sound of water in his ears, and an irresistible force on his legs dragged him to the bottom of the lake.

…No, no.

Wen Jianyan struggled to reach out of the lake, but he could only watch the light getting farther and farther away from him…

Except for…

A faint light approaching.

Wen Jianyan saw the source of the light.

It was the mirror fragment.

It fell to the bottom of the lake with Wen Jianyan, but the surface of the mirror was still emitting a faint but steady light.

The mirror fragment flipped by the water waves.

Through the cold and dark lake water, Wen Jianyan looked into the depths of the mirror—

A phantom was faintly visible in the dimly glowing mirror.

He could not see the man’s face clearly, but he could see the strange lines all over his body. He was laying quietly in the depths of the mirror, dangerous and peaceful, silent and ominous.

Every cell in Wen Jianyan’s body was screaming to flee.

Danger, run!

Accompanied by suffocation and weightlessness, Wen Jianyan felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, and his thinking became more and more laborious as if he would fall into eternal sleep in the next second.

He gritted his teeth, and forcefully reached out his hand for the mirror amid the pulling of countless pale arms below!

The distance between the finger and the mirror was getting closer and closer…

Finally, the cold and smooth mirror surface touched the young man’s fingertips.

A shrill scream spread through the lake and into his numb mind.

It took Wen Jianyan two seconds to realise that the sound was from the arms wrapped around his body.

The arm on his body disappeared.

As if encountering something terrifying, they scrambled to escape, leaving only the young man floating in the dark depths of the lake.

In the next second, Wen Jianyan felt an irresistible strong attraction coming from the mirror, dragging him into the depths of the mirror!

He watched helplessly as the phantom got closer and closer.

“……”

Before losing consciousness, a word came into Wen Jianyan’s mind in bold letters:

Fuck.
