Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter Thirteen

...

The moment Wen Jianyan's voice fell, the air suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The smile on the face of the man in the mirror disappeared for some time.

He repeated slowly: What?

The young man in front of him was pale, the wound on the back of his hand was bloody, and the blood was still dripping down.

Even though he was at a disadvantage, he still smiled calmly, his lips paled by blood loss stained scarlet with blood, almost glamorous in the dark.

The most valuable thing in a man is his soul, isn't it?

Wen Jianyan stared at herself in the mirror: Obviously, it is more profitable to take the initiative to make a deal with you to deliver your soul than to snatch it.

He smiled slightly:

What's more, it's still a good soul like me, right?

Years of professional experience have made Wen Jianyan develop a good habit.

The more critical the situation, the calmer his thinking.

Although he was at the juncture of life and death just now, his brain was still spinning non-stop, carefully reviewing everything that had happened since he entered the room.

The two 408s in the dormitory and the teaching building are obviously mirror images, and many of the rules inside are the same.

After a careful review, Wen Jianyan was sure that every step he took was not wrong.

He should have gotten out of here without a hitch.

After all, this is still a D-level dungeon in the final analysis, so there shouldn't be any mortal barriers for newcomers like them.

But the mortal barrier has clearly appeared.

Although Wen Jianyan has been playing the game according to the rules, this time, Mirror did not follow the rules.

After he clearly broke the deal, the mirror still did not give up, but instead attracted him, and even tried to forcibly eat him without reaching a deal.

This is very unreasonable.

unless……

There is something very precious in him, and the other party wants it too much, even at the risk of breaking the rules.

Based on the contents of the manual he got from Locker 368, it most likely refers to his soul.

Although Wen Jianyan himself doesn't think his soul is anything special, even if this guess is only 1 possibility, he will realize it as 100.

The man in the mirror looked back at him blankly, silent.

Wen Jianyan made a bold guess based on the few words she heard before being pulled into the mirror.

This mirror may be to awaken the Father God, so it is necessary to sacrifice human souls for him, so it is so unscrupulous to try to grab more souls.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for it to make a deal with its father, so Wen Jianyan will make this big bet on this option.

However, he was not prepared to speak out about these speculations.

The young man narrowed his eyes a little loosely:

Well... as for the reason...

He glanced at the phantom in the glasses, and the soft and wet tongue gently hooked over his lips, licking away the sticky scarlet blood from the corners of his lips, his pale face looked a little sinister in the darkness, and Wen Jianyan smiled. Come, said frivolously:

Probably love at first sight?

The live broadcast room of No. 789326qwk suddenly became restless.

He's good at him, he's good at him, he's good at it!!

Okay... horny (covering his heart)

Hello everyone, I announce that I am the object of the anchor's love at first sight. Thank you for your blessings.

The first few dishes, drink like this?

As long as you eat a peanut...

Wait? It's obvious that no anchor has played it before, but why is no one paying attention to the plot at all! Isn't your focus a bit wrong?

...

The already gloomy expression of the person in the mirror now looks almost distorted.

Wen Jianyan sighed, and with a slight smile on his face, he looked extraordinarily beaten:

Oh, don't make this expression on my face, it's ugly.

You guessed right.

However, the gloomy look quickly disappeared from the face of the person in the mirror:

I can't make this deal.

He smiled again as usual: Obviously, you realize that I must also follow the rules. If a human makes a wish that I can't fulfill, I can't take the other person's soul.

Wen Jianyan in the mirror applauded and praised:

Wonderful.

But Wen Jianyan himself was not happy because of the compliment, instead, he narrowed his eyes subconsciously and watched himself in the mirror vigilantly.

The opponent has a backhand.

The curvature of the corners of the mouths of the people in the mirror slowly widens:

But what you don't know is that breaking the rules will pay a price, but it's not completely impossible.

Just hear a click.

A thin crack appeared on the mirror surface, just across the face of Wen Jianyan in the mirror. The upright and handsome face was divided by the crack, and it looked a bit weirdly distorted.

He smiled and said:

I can still grab your soul forcibly. Of course, the loss may be a little more, but I can bear the necessary loss.

At the moment when the voice fell, the once-stopped swallowing started again, and the youth's body began to sink downward again.

However, in the next second, the winning expression on the face of the person in the mirror suddenly disappeared:

Wait, this-

His voice was sharp and high-pitched, but it was cut off suddenly in the next second!

Wen Jianyan only felt a flower in front of her eyes, and the scene in front of her suddenly changed.

His whole body fell back uncontrollably—

In the next second, his back slammed into the ground, his bones seemed to be shattered, and a heavy dull pain spread from the contact surface, causing him to gasp for breath.

Little Wen, are you alright!

Su Cheng hurried up and supported Wen Jianyan's shoulder.

Wen Jianyan was dizzy and dazzled by the fall. He waved his hand to indicate that he was okay, and slowly got up with the strength of the other party.

Whether it was the labyrinth, the mirror, or the phantom sleeping in the mirror, all had disappeared.

In front of you is a familiar corridor with a closed door.

The weird 408 has also disappeared.

I haven't seen you since I came out of 408, so...

Su Cheng organized the language, and then said vaguely: Brother Wen, you should remember what I told you before, those supernatural props?

Of course Wen Jianyan remembered it.

The reason why he kept going around with that mirror just now was to delay time and wait for the live broadcast system to go online, but he didn't expect that as soon as the live broadcast system went online, before he had time to use the props, he was directly pulled out by Su Cheng's props.

Wen Jianyan glanced at Su Cheng in surprise and nodded.

If he remembered correctly, the price of the item Su Cheng used was not low, and the other party was willing to give him this npc, which was indeed something he didn't expect.

Su Cheng patted his chest: Didn't I just say that if something happens, I will definitely protect you.

Wen Jianyan glanced at him more: Thank you.

He straightened up and put his hand down from the other side. Only then did Su Cheng notice the wound on Wen Jianyan's hand and couldn't help being surprised: Are you injured?

Wen Jianyan felt the pain.

He lowered his head and glanced at his bloody palms, with a pale face and throat, pretending to be calm:

……fine.

fart!

This is a piece of meat he bit off with his teeth! How could it be okay!

very painful!

Although Wen Jianyan himself is an extreme hedonist in ordinary life, at a critical juncture, he is extremely cruel to himself, and there is almost nothing he can't do.

He is familiar with the distribution of meridians and muscles on the human hand, and even if he bites his lower teeth, he deliberately avoids key parts to ensure normal actions later.

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth, tore off a piece of fabric from the hem of her shirt, and skillfully stopped the bleeding and bandaged it.

Blood splattered out of the fabric, looking startling.

After finishing everything, Wen Jianyan turned to look at Su Cheng, seemed to remember something, and asked, 408, are you in?

Yup.

Su Cheng shook his head in confusion: But there's nothing in it.

All he saw was an empty dormitory, with a narrow area, no room or table, and nothing but the thick dust accumulated on the ground. After turning around for nothing, he turned back to the corridor, but this time Wen Jianyan had disappeared.

Su Cheng waited anxiously for a long time, but still did not see the shadow of the other party, so he gritted his teeth and used the prop.

Wen Jianyan showed a thoughtful look.

It seems that although Su Cheng pushed open the door, he did not walk into the real 408.

So, the conditions for entering 408 are selective?

And you?

Su Cheng lowered his head and glanced at the blood-stained cloth on Wen Jianyan's hand, frowned worriedly, and asked:

Are you in danger in the hallway?

Danger.

The moment he heard the word, what flashed in Wen Jianyan's mind was not the mirror that was trying to forcibly snatch his soul, but the blurry male phantom in the mirror.

I don't know why, obviously he didn't do anything harmful to him, but the sense of oppression was far heavier than that mirror.

Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes, held her wrist, moved the injured part carefully, opened her mouth and replied:

I--

He had just uttered a short syllable when a footstep suddenly came from the corridor on one side, interrupting his unfinished words.

Su Cheng was shocked and turned his head to look in that direction.

Wen Jianyan also jumped up suddenly.

His eyes were bright and he stared at the place where the voice came from, his injured arm was hanging by his side, and his slender body was taut and slightly arched, like some kind of graceful cat.

The sound of footsteps is getting closer, more and more hurried and messy, as if several people are rushing towards this direction.

A swaying beam of light penetrated the darkness and shone from a distance.

The opposite side also seemed to notice the two uninvited guests, and suddenly stopped the pace and opened the distance:

Who is there?

Across the heavy darkness, the other party's voice seemed very tense, revealing a strong sense of alertness.

This voice... seems a little familiar.

Wen Jianyan was slightly startled.

Su Cheng's eyes widened: Wait, are you...?

The beam carefully swayed over the faces of the two men, revealing their faces in every detail.

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes blocked the strong light, and her face remained calm.

Soon, the light beam was pressed down, and with the sound of footsteps, the three people on the opposite side stepped forward.

The man in the lead held a flashlight in his hand, and the slightly dangling light and shadow flashed across his face, and Wen Jianyan instantly recognized the identity of the other party - the senior anchor who explained the rules in the cafeteria.

Kong Shixing's line of sight swept across the two people in front of him, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes that was not easily discernible:

Is it you?

One is a rookie anchor, and the other is an NPC who is frantically searched by dungeon monsters. This combination is too strange, and it is beyond his imagination.

Why are you here?

After seeing the same host as him, Su Cheng was obviously relieved.

He stepped forward and said:

It's been a while since we came up. This floor is very evil, and we can't get down at all.

Su Cheng sighed and asked, How about you?

Kong Shixing frowned and said, We have been here for a while, and there is no way to leave.

He glanced at Wen Jianyan without a trace.

Su Cheng didn't notice the other's small movements at all.

He said excitedly: That's great, we can be together next...

Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, Kong Shixing interrupted: Of course.

He stepped forward, raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Su Cheng's neck, showing a very intimate look: We are all classmates, and we have known each other for so long, so of course we need to help each other.

Kong Shixing looked at Wen Jianyan with a bit of unspeakable shyness on his face:

Um... teacher, I have a private matter that I want to chat with my friend, may I ask...

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

There are some things...that you can't tell in front of NPCs.

It's just that he was so used to Wen Jianyan being by his side that he didn't think of it at all.

Su Cheng nodded stiffly: Indeed, indeed, I am also a little private.

Wen Jianyan understood, he smiled kindly and nodded:

certainly.

He turned around and walked to the side, thoughtfully leaving room for the two of them to chat privately.

Kong Shixing winked at one of his teammates, who immediately understood, turned around and followed, and started talking to Wen Jianyan, trying to get some information out of his mouth.

Soon, only the two of them were left in this area.

Su Cheng looked at the senior anchor in front of him with some unease.

The other party let go of his arm and asked, What happened after you came up?

Su Cheng simply told him what happened before.

Kong Shixing frowned:

You found 408 and went in?

Although Su Cheng was a little confused, he still nodded:

Yes, but... there's nothing in it.

Kong Shixing did not answer, showing a thoughtful look.

He turned his head and glanced into the darkness, and continued to ask: Speaking of which, what happened to you and the NPC just now?

Su Cheng explained the information he knew one by one.

What key, sister, undercover, contacting the superiors, Kong Shixing was stunned to hear it.

After hearing this, the way he looked at Su Cheng changed:

Your story line... is very important.

Su Cheng nodded cautiously.

Kong Shixing looked at Su Cheng and said thoughtfully, Maybe...it will be the main thread of the entire dungeon.

The dungeon is divided into the main line and the sub-line. The higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the more lines.

Although the exploration value can be unlocked by completing the secondary line, it cannot be unlocked to 100%.

The reward for completing the main line is not only the highest, but more importantly, if the main line is completed, even if the rest of the sub-lines are not completed, 100% exploration will be achieved.

100% Discovery!

A trace of eagerness flashed across Kong Shixing's eyes.

However, unlike his faint excitement, there were question marks in his live broadcast room.

?

???

Kong Shixing is a senior anchor. Most of the online viewers in the live broadcast room are their own traffic. Many of them have been squatting in the live broadcast room of the anchor since the broadcast, and have never watched it in the square.

Wait, the dungeon the anchor entered this time is Decai Middle School, right? Has it been revised? Why don't I remember this story line?

I'm also a little dazed. This line does sound very important, but... why haven't I heard of it!

In the barrage area, there is a wave of viewers with completely different styles of painting Hahaha.

“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，隔壁来的，心满离。”

Laughing and vomiting, the Liar Victims Alliance has gradually grown, and now it can even automatically develop offline!

Hahahahahahahaha I'm so happy.

[The above user's remarks involve the same host in the lobby and will only be open to the audience]

Kong Shixing knew nothing about the movements in his live broadcast room.

After a brief thought and judgment of interests, he decided to throw an olive branch to Su Cheng:

A member of our team provided information. After twelve o'clock in the morning, 408 will appear every hour on the hour, and only during this time can you leave the fourth floor. This room is very important, and it is very likely that the entire dungeon belongs to the dungeon. The core is, if you say that there is nothing in it, it is very likely that it is only because you have not found a way to really open it.

After simply sharing his information with the other party, Kong Shixing cut to the topic:

We can form a team to act together next, wait until the next hour, we will go in and investigate again, maybe we can get different results from you.

Before waiting for Su Cheng to nod, he only heard the other party continue: But the NPC who has been following you has to deal with it.

Su Cheng was taken aback: ...what?

Kong Shixing had a clear mind and said eloquently: Our current dungeon is D-level. Will there be important clues characters in this difficulty? As long as you get the props on the NPC, the main task will be stable.

Su Cheng stammered: But...that's not necessary...

Kong Shixing shook his head and interrupted him: It's too dangerous to act with this npc, the dungeon monster downstairs is frantically looking for him, and being with him will only reduce our chances of survival.

Su Cheng's face turned pale, he opened his mouth but did not answer.

The best way now is to walk with him for a while, wait until door 408, let him in again, and see if he can help us find out more information and help us rule out some dangerous options.

If he really survives and leaves the fourth floor with us, we can push him to the NPC downstairs to attract the attention of the old witch, and we take the opportunity to leave.

Kong Shixing looked at Su Cheng:

You have been with him for so long, you should have gained the trust of the npc, right? In this case, you are responsible for getting the props and information out of him before the next hour.

Kong Shixing seemed to see through Su Cheng's hesitation, and he narrowed his eyes slightly:

We are the anchors and living people, and it's just an NPC. Don't waste the opportunity to send it to your eyes.

He put his hand on Su Cheng's shoulder and persuaded earnestly:

On the way just now, we sacrificed a person in our team, and now there is just a vacant position. After this dungeon is over, I will introduce you to our guild - our guild's points are ranked third in the entire nightmare, one of the best. It’s been a long time since the big guild has recruited new people, and after entering, you will get a wider network of contacts and richer resources, just think about it.”

What the other party said was sincere, but Su Cheng didn't really want to continue this topic.

His eyes wandered, and he changed the subject abruptly:

You said... your team sacrificed a person?

As he spoke, he looked aside.

In the dim darkness, the NPC was standing in the distance, talking to the other two anchors.

Aren't you still three?

Kong Shixing waved his hand indifferently: A new one is added later, but you don't need to worry about him, we bring him for other purposes.

Su Cheng seems to understand but does not understand: That's it...

the other side.

Wen Jianyan was chatting with the two anchors in front of him. Although his face was pale due to blood loss, it did not affect his ability to speak idioms.

He calmly looked at the two in front of him.

One of them had obviously been instructed by the captain, and had been probing him vaguely, but he was easily distracted every time.

And another one...

Wen Jianyan's eyes fell on Cheng Huaquan, and her brows involuntarily wrinkled slightly.

Although this man followed the order, he didn't say a few words during the whole process. Instead, he kept his head down, and half of his pale face was hidden in the darkness, appearing cowardly and timid.

but……

Wen Jianyan just had a vague premonition that something wasn't quite right.

At this moment, the conversation between Su Cheng and Kong Shixing seemed to be over.

The two walked in this direction together.

Wen Jianyan ended the conversation that he had led, and walked up to him freely.

Behind him, Cheng Huaquan, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head slowly, half of his pale face hidden in the shadows turned to Wen Jianyan's back.

On the dormitory door beside him, his face was lightly imprinted on the glass.

A huge distorted smile hung on the corner of his mouth, a pair of pure black eyes fixedly stared at the victim who had escaped from his hands, and the upward arc of the corner of his mouth widened again.

Wen Jianyan felt a chill down his spine.

He turned his head subconsciously and looked behind him.

Cheng Huaquan lowered his head and looked the same as before.

Wen Jianyan frowned.

He has a natural instinct for danger.

For some reason, there was a strange aura about that anchor, which made him instinctively feel creepy.

Kong Shixing's voice came from in front of him:

Brother Wen, my friend told me all about you just now.

Wen Jianyan retracted his gaze and looked at Kong Shixing who was standing in front of him.

With a smile on the other side's face, he said sincerely: We will also do our best to help you, and we will definitely be able to help you find your sister, but before that, we may need to go back to 408 again.

Wen Jianyan pondered for a few seconds, and sighed lightly: You are right. In this situation, acting together is the best choice.

But isn't there nothing in 408?

Wen Jianyan asked pretending to be suspicious.

The expression on Kong Shixing's face was watertight: Isn't that better?

His eyes glanced down and fell on Wen Jianyan's hand. The dazzling blood made him frown: Your injury is...

In the hallway.

Wen Jianyan moved her wrist and frowned, But... I don't know what attacked it. Everything happened too fast.

He had a straight face, even if he lied without a trace.

Hearing the other party's description, Kong Shixing couldn't help but get nervous: Yes, is it?

But don't worry about it.

The young man raised his eyes, and under his long and thick eyelashes, a pair of light amber eyes contained a clear light. When he stared at a person intently, he always gave people a sincere and magnanimous illusion:

If anything happens again, I will do my best to protect your personal safety.

Kong Shixing smiled: Thank you little brother Vancouver.

After hearing what the other party said, Su Cheng's face was even worse. He stared at Wen Jianyan hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips again, and finally just turned away silently. Head, the fingers hanging on the side slowly tightened.

Wen Jianyan pretended not to notice.

He didn't change his face, his eyes fluttered over Kong Shixing's head.

Only Wen Jianyan and the audience in his live broadcast room could see that a red arrow pointed straight at the top of Kong Shixing's head, still shaking regularly, as if waving the flag and shouting.

I am here!

Come see me!

The 789326qwk live broadcast room burst into laughter.

Grass, the special effect of this guiding hand is really funny, I laugh once I see it, hahahahaha!

I really didn't expect that the ordinary hidden props were on the host opposite...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I just came back from the live broadcast room next door, and I planned all the battalions there. It is estimated that it is still complacent because of the anchor's hook.

Unexpectedly, the purpose of falling on you is to deceive you better.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, the longest road I have traveled is the routine of this liar anchor!

The young man was adorned at the back of the team not far or near, Qing Jun's face was hidden in the darkness, and the neat-line facial features flashed in the interweaving of light and shadow, looking unpredictable.

[Hand of Guidance has taken effect, remaining inventory: 0]

Good, now he's finally back in his familiar territory.

Looking at the backs of several people not far away, a fleeting smile flashed across Wen Jianyan's pale lips. The amber eyes were slightly squinted, the smile in the eyes was unpredictable, and the handsome face was inexplicably a bit delusional.

Ah, it's better for him to deal with people than to confront the weird phantom in that mirror.

after all……

His profession is a fraudster.

It's his job to deceive people.
