Welcome to the Nightmare Live - Ch 8.2

The palm of his hand was silently pressed against the cold door, and he could almost feel the heavy vibration caused by the footsteps outside.

Really…

It has nothing to do with the word “human-like” at all.

As the target of the other party’s hatred, Wen Jianyan’s eyelids twitched ominously.

Time passed minute by minute.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the sound of footsteps hovering at the door gradually moved away and disappeared.

Wen Jianyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After the biggest threat was temporarily gone, his mind quickly turned.

The next most important thing is to complete the task of finding the face. If Xu Yuan’s face is not found before the specified time limit, he doesn’t know what will happen, and he doesn’t want to gamble on this possibility.

However, the current situation is not good for him.

Whether it was the alienated NPC who focused his hatred entirely on him, or the group of senior anchors who wanted to find him, get props from him, and sell him to NPCs to save their lives, all of them have pushed him to the cusp of the storm. Make the slightest mistake and you will be doomed.

It isn’t good for him to act alone at a time like this.

Wen Jianyan turned to look at the anchor behind him who had just been rescued by him, then he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

He had watched the episode that had happened in the cafeteria before, and at that time, this anchor had caught his attention.

He is a newcomer.

He has no experience, but he has certain observational and analytical skills.

Be calm and don’t scream.

What’s more, since he was wandering in the corridor just now, he must be trying to complete the newly released main task.

——Either there is an ambition and desire to seize greater interests, or he was forced by the circumstances to take the risk.

Either way, there are opportunities.

A smile swept across Wen Jianyan’s lips as if a breeze was blowing, causing a fleeting ripple.

For some reason, Su Cheng suddenly shivered.

?

What’s happening?

Obviously, the NPC outside should have left.

He rubbed his nose in confusion.

At this moment, the young man standing by the door turned around and walked over step by step.

As the distance narrowed, Su Cheng couldn’t help but widened his eyes slightly.

The other party’s glasses had already been taken off, and the gentle and soft bookish air was swept away. After losing the blocking of the lenses, a pair of light-coloured sharp and clear eyes appeared.

At this moment, those eyes were looking over at him, giving people a sense of frankness and sincerity.

Su Cheng stammered:

“You, you are…”

The young man in front of him had a straight back like a pine, and he looked directly at him seriously and solemnly.

He took out a palm-sized wallet from his coat pocket and shook it open in front of the other party’s eyes, with a sense of calm authority in his voice:

“Xu Wen, Police number 598405.”

“…?!”

Su Cheng was stunned.

In the darkness, the certificate in the young man’s hand flashed by.

After being stunned for two seconds, Su Cheng finally recovered.

The other party didn’t seem to notice his reaction. He was frowning and stuffing his wallet back into his pocket, and continued:

“In the past five years, the number of deaths and disappearances in Decai Middle School has been abnormally high, but all the investigations related to this have come to an end as if there is always something hindering the investigation. But I didn’t come with a mission this time, I…”

The young man paused and took a deep breath:

“I came here to find my sister.”

“Sister…?” Su Cheng’s eyes widened slightly.

“Xu Yuan, she disappeared at Decai Middle School three months ago.”

The young man lowered his eyes to hide them and a hint of pain flashed at the bottom: “All my efforts were in vain, so I had to hide my identity and sneak into the school to find it, and as a result——”

He glanced at the closed door and said with lingering fear:

“Just now… what was that thing?”

——A perverted live broadcast room has created a nasty product to torture them.

But of course, Su Cheng wouldn’t say that to the NPC in front of him.

He just shook his head: “I…I don’t know either.”

However, since the old witch was mentioned, Su Cheng naturally remembered something. He pondered for a while, and asked euphemistically: “By the way, before Teacher Yang said something downstairs. She seems to have lost something. Could it be…”

Originally, He was already prepared that the other party was not going to say anything, but what he didn’t expect was that Wen Jianyan nodded calmly and answered frankly. : “Yes, it was me.”

He took out an old key from his pocket:

“This is the only clue I have now.”

Su Cheng: “!!!”

Based on his years of experience in puzzle games, whether it is the background story displayed by the other party or the special props held in his hands, these are definitely crucial points only an NPC could have!

“I’ll help you!” He volunteered.

The young man was startled: “No.”

He frowned and flatly refused: “This kind of thing is too dangerous. It’s not something you middle school students can touch, and I can’t bring you into danger.”

“You saw the monster just now. Do you think this kind of thing would happen in the normal world? If you were alone, you would never be able to find your sister.”

Su Cheng said seriously.

The young man who called himself Xu Wen’s eyes flashed slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

Seeing that the other party was wavering, Su Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, racked his brains, and tried his best to promote himself:

“Since I have reached this point, there is no need for me to hide anything. In fact, I am not a student in this school either. I have channels to get all kinds of supernatural props, if it really reaches the point of last resort, please believe me, I… I will definitely be very useful to you.”

He said with emotion, trying to convince the other party:

“You must have violated your superior’s order by coming here this time, right? Your relationship with your sister must be very good, and you definitely want to find her safely, right?”

The air fell into silence.

Su Cheng waited timidly.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the young man seemed to have finally compromised. He slowly let out a breath and said reluctantly:

“…No matter what happens, you must follow my instructions.”

“!”

Su Cheng’s eyes lit up, fearing that the other party would regret it, he agreed: “No problem!”

In the live broadcast room of 789326qwk.

[…It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone rushing to sell themselves.]

[Haven’t you noticed, the host has been using words to guide the other anchor from the very beginning. Whether it’s about his identity or anything else, it’s been said about three points and hidden about seven points. Even the props he got from the old witch had been prevaricated by him, and he even made the other party agree to go to the other place with him without leaving any traces… awesome.]

[That’s right, in order to form a team with this fake NPC, the anchor not only has to unconditionally listen to his commands but also has to be prepared to buy props from the system store. It’s almost like signing a contract to sell himself!]

[Fuck, pity.]

[It’s so miserable that the anchor is completely distracted and doesn’t doubt anything at all.]

[Hahahahaha, poor victim +1]

Wen Jianyan smiled briefly.

Placing the victim in a precarious state of mind and manipulating it through external danger and pressure is a common formula for fraud.

The live broadcast room itself has helped him complete the most difficult step.

It uses the countdown to death and the threat of ghosts to create a dangerous slaughterhouse that makes everyone in it nervous and fearful.

All people who are under such unstable emotions, theoretically speaking, will become easily gullible to the authorities and become the easiest target to conquer.

Just like just now.

The dimly lit environment, the once-recognized NPC identity, and the other party’s initial thinking about “game clues”, as long as one makes a little use, they can easily make the other party follow their own script.

Su Cheng: “Then… Where are we going next?”

Wen Jianyan: “Go to the teaching building.”

The room number on Xu Yuan’s note must be an important clue.

He raised his eyes, patted the other person’s shoulder lightly, and said slowly, “I’ll go to the corridor to check the situation.”

——Increase physical contact and induce a kind of subconscious trust.

——Take the initiative to help, so that the other party is accustomed to relying on you as the stronger party.

These small tricks have long been familiar to Wen Jianyan, and they have become an instinctive habit.

Su Cheng’s expression was obviously relaxed, he nodded: “Okay.”

Wen Jianyan opened the door and walked outside lightly towards the end of the corridor.

When the other party’s figure disappeared into the darkness, Su Cheng let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall.

He opened his own live room.

Su Cheng’s eyes widened slightly when he saw the number of people online.

Just now, there were only a few hundred viewers. He doesn’t know when it began to soar, and now it’s approaching one thousand!

“This, so many people? Thank you for your support.” He said, feeling somewhat flattered.

Unexpectedly, although the number of online viewers has doubled, the barrage is sporadic, and only some content that is not related to the plot flutters on the homepage.

Su Cheng didn’t notice this.

He took a deep breath and solemnly analyzed: “I think, I may now have access to the deep plotline of this instance. The storyline of that brother just now is very important…

The barrage was filled with schadenfreude “hahaha”

[Hahahaha, please, don’t analyze, I can’t bear to look at it anymore…]

[It’s indeed very important to hear it. In case you ignore this storyline made up by the other party… Hahahahaha!]

There are also people who hate the iron not being steel:

[Fuck, the other party is a liar! Anchor, you sober up a bit, and don’t be tricked by him ah!]

【Some of the above user remarks involve the same hall anchor and will only be open to the audience.】

Su Cheng knew nothing about these barrages.

After earnestly analyzing a wave of possible plotlines, he found that his live broadcast room became more popular, and he couldn’t help but be more flattered, and more convinced that his guess was correct.

At this moment, Wen Jianyan leaned back quietly and made a gesture to him:

“It’s safe outside, let’s go.”

The young man’s body was slender and tall, his eyes were clear, and his calm and cautious expression gave people a strong sense of strength and security.

Su Cheng looked at the other party’s back, turned his head to face his own live broadcast room, and said with sincerity:

“This NPC is really a good person.”

The barrage: “……”

This is not just being tricked, you have been sold without getting any money in return!
