Welcome to the Nightmare Live - CH 37

Ten minutes ago.

Fukang Private General Hospital, Fourth floor.

“Cheng Mei” disappeared without warning.

Everyone stood in their place in horror, and it took them a full five seconds to realize what had just happened.

“Damn! Listen, this ghost is probably aimed at the boss.”

The Cockscomb head was startled, and said in a low voice, “Where’s the boss?”

Su Cheng was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look, only to find that Wen Jianyan, who had been with the team just now, disappeared at some unknown time.

“This… What should we do now?”

Without the backbone, the Cockscomb head suddenly started to panic.

Su Cheng: “……”

Although it had not been that long since he and Wen Jianyan formed a team, according to the other party’s behavior of not stopping until he offended everyone in the last instance, and now him being targeted by the ghost, it was simply…

Not surprising!

But even so, a strong sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

Compared with Wen Jianyan, that scammer, they were too useless.

At this moment, Su Cheng heard a familiar mechanical sound ringing in his ears: 【Ding, your novice gift pack is ready.】

What?

Su Cheng was startled.

His starter pack was a deck of tarot cards that could not be opened, shuffled, or used.

Since he had not figured out how this thing worked, he just left it behind and did not expect it to pop up at this time.

【Shuffling Completed.】

【Do you want to draw cards?】

“Yes.” Su Cheng calmed down and answered in his mind.

In the next second, a pair of tarot cards with the star-moon pattern on the base appeared in the void and lined up at an even speed.

【Please repeat your question in your mind and draw a card.】

Su Cheng pondered for two seconds, took a deep breath, and then pointed out one of the tarot cards.

The star-moon pattern tarot card slowly turned over.

It was a sword that was deeply embedded in the crown.

Ace of Swords.

Upright.

Su Cheng knew almost nothing about tarot, but he played a few games occasionally during the second year of middle school. The card in front of him was not the well-known main card. Looking at the strange card in front of him, he could not help but be confused.

Seeing that Su Cheng did not speak for a long time, the Cockscomb head came forward and asked with confusion:

“What’s wrong?”

Su Cheng came back to his senses and repeated what he had just seen and done.

“You don’t know what this is?” the Cockscomb head’s eyes widened slightly in shock: “Brother, this, is this the first time you have opened your gift?”

Isn’t he a big shot? Why did he open his gift only now?

Su Cheng panicked.

Oh yes, he forgot that he is now a big shot who acts with Wen Jianyan, a “senior anchor”.

He was anxious: “There are more big shots in our guild after all, so I almost don’t need to do anything in the instances, so…”

The Cockscomb head sucked in a breath of chilly air.

Oh boy! They actually have a guild, and there is actually more than one “senior anchor” in the guild!

That’s too amazing!

He looked at Su Cheng enviously: “Brother, you are really lucky!”

Su Cheng’s facial muscles twitched: “Yes, yes.”

In Su Cheng’s live broadcast room:

[It’s so sad, the anchor has also started to make up nonsense!]

[Hahahahahahahaha! He’s slowly becoming like Wen Jianyan.]

[Be friends with a liar, and sooner or later you will become a liar too!]

The cockscomb head was not suspicious at all and exclaimed: “Brother, your talent is of the precognition type, it is very rare. If the Oracle finds out about this, they will definitely come to find you. But your guild is so strong, they are going to hit a wall this time.

He laughed for a while, looking a little gloating.

Su Cheng stopped this off-topic discussion and asked: “Ace of Swords, do you know what it means?”

The Cockscomb head pondered for two seconds: “Although I am not very familiar with the meaning of tarot, if it is upright… so it should be a good card? According to my impression, there should be many difficulties ahead, but after success, the rewards should be high?”

Su Cheng: “That’s good.”

His eyes became firm and he turned around: “Let’s go.”

“Hey, brother, where are we going?” The Cockscomb head was a little stunned.

Now that the captain was not here and the legendary hidden item was also not at hand, and with more red members chasing and blocking them…

Was there anything they could do now?

Su Cheng: “We still have a little time before the end of the instance. Since that’s the case, let’s trust our captain for the time being and find something else to do before the end.”

He took a deep breath: “At least it will be useful, isn’t it?”

***

Fukang Private General Hospital, Second underground floor.

The shackles on Wen Jianyan’s wrists had already fallen off, but the shackles on his feet were still there. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and his muscles showed beautiful tight lines due to the tension.

He suddenly pulled the scalpel out of the dean’s stomach, and scarlet blood splashed on his cheeks.

The dean’s neck and stomach were mercilessly torn apart, and the body, which was originally made of spliced corpses, fell to the ground, with large and small pieces scattering on the ground.

The other two stitched monsters seemed to sense the danger, and they both started to move, twisting their limbs, trying to walk in this direction.

The young man turned his head slightly, and under the long and dense eyelashes, the amber eyes showed a light golden color in the bright light, looking over silently.

His upper body was fair and firm. The blood slid down his skin, looking elegant and murderous.

He did not say anything.

However, under Wen Jianyan’s gaze, the bodies of the two monsters in front of him stopped moving strangely. Their whole body trembled, and then, as if controlled by some invisible force, they slowly moved their pale arm, turned their five fingers into claws, and stabbed into their own chest fiercely!

A greasy and bloody heart was torn out abruptly and landed on the ground with a “plop”.

Like puppets whose strings were cut off, their bodies lost their power and slowly fell to the ground.

【Countdown: 3, 2, 1】

The one-minute “Mother of the World” experience period was over.

In an instant, as if all his strength was taken away, Wen Jianyan fell backward, lying on the delivery bed panting heavily.

Tired, so tired.

He was as tired as if he had run five kilometers in one minute. The joints and muscles all over his body were screaming in pain, and he could not even lift his fingers an inch.

There was dead silence in the “Integrity First” live broadcast room, and after a long time, the barrage slowly appeared.

[This, who the fuck would have thought there would be this kind of development…]

[It’s too strong, too strong… I’m speechless, how can there be such a wonderful live broadcast!]

[Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, the anchor is awesome, aaaaahhhhhh!!]

[Black is NB! Black will win! (100 reward points)]

[Ahhhhhhhhh, help, the anchor is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome!]

[Woooooooo my wife is so good, I will always like my liar wife! It was so awesome and colorful. Pants exploded!]

[Even when he is out of strength at the end, he still looks so bewitching. I can’t stand it. Is this the charm of a mature mommy? Help!]

The interior was dead silent again.

Wen Jianyan struggled to get up from the operating table, and then leaned down—

“Yuck—!”

He was retching heavily, his empty stomach clenched in pain as if he was about to vomit out his internal organs.

The last time he vomited so badly was when he had just entered the instance.

Maybe it was because he changed back to a human, the mechanical sound that was silent for a whole instance began to jingle in Wen Jianyan’s ears:

【Ding! It is detected that the abnormal status of the anchor has been cleared, and the settlement of live broadcast points is unfrozen!】

【In the E-level “Integrity First” live broadcast room, the average number of viewers per hour is 60,000, and 6,000 points can be redeemed!】

【Congratulations to the anchor for his achievement: Much Attention!】

【Ding! Your points have reached the upgrade standards, and your live broadcast room has been upgraded to D-level!】

【Your live broadcast room is still 50,000 points away from the next upgrade. Please make persistent efforts and create greater glory!】

【In your live broadcast, you received a total of 8,876 rewards, a total of 510,000 points.】

【If the anchor is detected as a D-level anchor, your live broadcast system will take 10% of the share, and the points will be deducted before the settlement. The points have been settled into your account: 110,000】

Unlike the points given to the anchor based on the number of viewers, the points awarded by the audience to the anchor would be credited to the account in the background, so even before the anchor’s points were settled, these points could be used in advance. Wen Jianyan originally had more than 500,000 reward points, but a lot of points were spent in the early stage, and a large part was fed to the apple seedling, so now only 110,000 have been settled into the account.

【Instance Exploration Degree: 96%, Reward Points: 20000】

【Current Degree of Plot Modification: 100%, Reward points: 80000】

【The remaining points in your account: 124000】

【Ultimate Main Quest of the Fukang Private General Hospital Instance: ??? Triggered!】

【Completion time limit: Two hours】

【Note: If the mission fails, all survival time and points will be deducted, and the anchor’s live broadcast room will be closed immediately.】

Wen Jianyan’s dizziness finally subsided. With a pale face, he weakly straightened up and looked down at the “Holy Child”, he was still holding tightly.

Since the one-minute experience of the “Mother of the World” had expired, the human baby-sized “Holy Child” had begun to dehydrate, becoming smaller again, and its weight has gradually become lighter. Now it had shrunk back to its original size of only a thumb, but its appearance was quite different from before.

The color of the baby’s body changed from cyan to white, and the body was no longer deformed and wrinkled. The small pink fist was clenched in front of its chest, its body was curled up, and its eyes were closed. Its expression was quiet and peaceful, as if lying in the arms of the mother.

The system prompt sounds in his ear:

【Ding! The nature of the legendary hidden item of the instance has changed!】

【The Holy Child (sleeping) is permanently bound to the anchor Wen Jianyan.】

【Unable to be traded.】

Wen Jianyan looked slightly startled and looked down at the little baby in his palm.

It was sleeping with closed eyes, smiling, and seemed incredibly happy.

Permanently bound.

In other words,…to be together forever?

Unexpectedly, their wishes came true in this way.

A soft light flashed across Wen Jianyan’s eyes, he reached out and picked up the small jar on the surgical tray, and carefully put the Holy Child made of 110 ghost babies into it.

Perhaps because it had been bound, although the instance had not ended yet, the jar still faded little by little and was included in the backpack of the live broadcast room system.

In the “Integrity First” live broadcast room:

[Oh boy…Then the Black team has already won, and the legendary hidden item is bound to Captain Black, how can he lose!]

[I’m so convinced! Black is awesome!!! (100 reward points)]

[But I have a feeling that something is not right. Generally speaking, the plot has reached this point, the outcome is already divided, and there is no reason to continue. So why is the instance not over yet?]

[Did the Red team do something?]

[I went to the other side to look, and I think they still have some trump cards on their side.]

[I’ll go as well!]

At this moment, the air around Wen Jianyan fluctuated slightly, and a faint white shadow appeared.

Although the woman’s facial features were very vague, he could still vaguely see the familiar outline.

Lin Qing.

She was a fighter and a protector.

Whether it was collecting evidence at the risk of her life, or the hairpin that was quietly stuffed into his palm just now…

Whether alive or dead.

Looking at the white shadow in front of him, the fear of meeting for the first time suddenly dissipated.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and said slowly and solemnly:

“Dr. Lin, thank you very much.”

Lin Qing smiled. Unlike the pain and grief in the hidden branch before, she looked extraordinarily calm and peaceful now. She shook her head, and her voice was a little ethereal:

“Thank you for protecting my brother.”

She leaned down and placed a kiss on the young man’s forehead: “Thank you for being my ex-boyfriend.”

Her faint voice reached Wen Jianyan’s ears:

“Be careful, under the bed…”

Wen Jianyan was shocked and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him.

At the moment when the voice fell, the white shadow disappeared.

Not far away, the dry corpse that Lin Qing was tied to the delivery bed also began to wither away, turning into dust and scattering into the room.

A strong wind swept past, and a scalpel flashing with cold light stabbed straight at Wen Jianyan!

Wen Jianyan, who was already vigilant, dodged to the side. Although he moved quickly, his ankles were still tightly bound to the bed, restricting his movement.

The sharp blade rubbed the side of his neck and penetrated deep into the delivery bed. A shallow wound was cut on the young man’s neck, and the blood flowed like a scarlet snake licking down the skin.

Wen Jianyan avoided the blow and looked toward the bed.

The dean crawled out from under the bed with a blade in his hand and with a crazy smile on his face.

His head and neck had been cut open, leaving only a small layer of skin at the back that was still barely connected. Although his body had been fragmented, it was clear that in a certain sense, he was still “alive”.

“Do you think you could really kill me?”

“Where’s the Holy Child? Where did you hide the Holy Child!”

The dean looked mad.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you until I figure it out.” A giggling sound came from his throat, and he stared at Wen Jianyan with those asymmetrical eyes:

“You have a pair of beautiful eyes… and your body is also very strong. After replacing some of them on my body, it will definitely last a long time.”

Wen Jianyan also smiled: “Great, you are still not dead. I just didn’t feel relieved enough.”

When he was in a desperate situation just now, he was not afraid of this guy, not to mention now that his hands were free and had abundant points in his account. Wasn’t this a chance to relieve his anger?!

The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his amber eyes shone brightly.

However, the next second, the dean in front of him suddenly froze.

His eyes were wide open as if they were about to fall out of his eye sockets. His broken body was stiff, and he was firmly fixed in place. The scalpel in his hand fell to the ground, and his body began to twitch wildly, his crazy and terrifying appearance chilling.

Wen Jianyan was stunned for a moment, and he could not help but look over in confusion.

……What happened?

He obviously did not do anything, this… what just happened?

For unknown reasons, a strange ominous premonition slowly spread in his heart, causing his hair to stand on end and his back to become cold.

Although the opponent’s loss of resistance was a good thing for him.

But……

He had a feeling like something was out of control.

“Zzzz”— “Zzzzz”—

The light bulb above his head flickered wildly, more violent than before when the Holy Child was summoned. The temperature in the air dropped sharply as if the ice blade had cut through the skin, bringing a painful touch.

Unknown darkness descended silently.

It emerged from the inside of the dean’s body, like a non-threatening shadow, protruding out from the stitched gaps little by little, slowly, silently, swallowing the light and shadow in the room little by little.

That power was so gentle, yet so cold, and destructive.

As if unable to bear it, the dean’s body began to collapse.

A literal collapse.

From the fingers, to the arms, to the head, and then to the body, they all seemed to be made of sand, and under the erosion of running water, they were venerable and completely turned into flying ash

The rest of the body parts could no longer make a sound, and the remaining eyeballs on the head were turning frantically, as if they still could not believe what was happening, screaming silently.

Darkness, more darkness, as if it could devour everything emerged.

Wen Jianyan’s pupils shrink, and a fine layer of cold sweat immediately oozes from his back.

A sense of fear that seemed to come from biological instinct was born in the depths of the body, brewing, and every nerve in the mind was screaming ——

Run, run, run!

This feeling was so familiar that Wen Jianyan seemed to have returned to the mirror world of Decai Middle School.

I can’t be?

No way, no way, no way?

Wen Jianyan was frightened by his own imagination. His scalp tingled, and he slammed into the surgical tray beside him. The metal utensils fell to the ground, making a panicking screeching sound.

He touched the hairpin he just put aside, his slender fingers trembling slightly breaking the hairpin into a shape that was easy to handle. Then he straightened up and began to pry the shackles on his ankles as quickly as possible.

Hurry up!

“Clang!” The lock on the left ankle was pried open. Wen Jianyan’s face was blank, his fingers were cold and numb, and he anxiously began to pick the lock on the other foot.

The light above his head was getting dimmer and dimmer as if he was being swallowed up by eternal darkness.

The shadow condensed where the dean had just collapsed, and slowly turned into a human shape.

“Click.”

After three times of unlocking, the overly thin hairpin finally reached its limit and broke into the keyhole.

…

It screwed up at this time?

No way?

No!!!

Wen Jianyan’s whole body froze, and the blood all over his body seemed to freeze in an instant, unable to flow.

Darkness fell from above his head, surrounding him, making him almost forget to breathe.

“……”

Wen Jianyan maintained an awkward posture with one leg held high and tied to the bed frame. Slowly, he turned his head little by little, and raised his eyes with a pale face. Half in horror, half in disbelief, he looked at the “man” by the bedside.

He did not know when “his” figure had been completely solidified.

The man stood in the darkness that engulfed the entire room. The pale and solid body was covered with a black robe made of darkness. On the long black hair and the bloodless skin, strange black runes like a spell snaked around the body, like an ominous curse, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, then slowly opened.

A pair of golden, almost inhuman beast-like pupils were revealed.

Familiar images of Deja vu flooded his mind, and what happened at the end of the last instance became so clear that it seemed like it only happened yesterday.

Including the sentence…

“You love me so much that you can’t wait to be my dog.”

The next second, the pair of molten gold pupils moved slightly and slowly looked in this direction.

Wen Jianyan: “………………”

His pupils trembled, and he sucked in a sharp breath.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh help!!!!

The author has something to say: The liar is terrified: Don’t come here! (Screaming)
