Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 146

On the wall, the wording of the [03] ward was so clear that it was almost dazzling.

Wen Jianyan stopped, turned her head and looked behind her.

The corridor was dark, like a hollow and cold eye socket, there were no footsteps, and the man's beast-like figure could not be seen.

Edward did not follow.

In other words, it has not been followed for the time being.

At this moment, Wen Jianyan suddenly thought of something, turned her head to look at Luce, and asked, "Speaking of which, you have encountered a moderately critical patient, right?"

Luce was startled and nodded.

"I remember you said that the patient is invincible in the inner world? How did you escape in the end?"

There was a puzzled look on Luce's face. Although he didn't know why Wen Jianyan suddenly asked this question, he answered honestly:

"We dragged the patient with props and ran in the opposite direction with all our strength..."

"And then? Did you run out of that distorted space?" Wen Jianyan asked.

Luce nodded.

"So, when you were chased by that mad dog, did you run out of that messy corridor after we escaped separately?"

Luce was stunned for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "No."

Although the murderer with the axe didn't catch up, they ran through the bloody and bloody corridor the whole way—until the bell rang.

It seems that this is the difference between high risk and medium risk.

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a thoughtful look.

He noticed it when he was in the confinement room before. It was obviously just a corridor leading to the end. He didn't turn back the whole way, but Edward would appear in front of him.

Not because the map was circular, but simply because he couldn't leave.

It is possible to escape from the mental world of a moderately critical patient, but if you fall into the mental world of a high-risk patient, the only thing you can do is to consume it until the bell rings and the inner world ends.

"In a sense, it's a good thing."

Wen Jianyan raised her head, glanced at Ward 03 on the wall, and said with a slow sigh of relief.

"Ah?" Huang Mao, who was bent over and gasping for breath, raised his head with a confused look on his face, "How can it be a good thing if you can't run out?"

Luce was stunned for a while, and soon realized why Wen Jianyan asked this question: "Wait, so you mean..."

"Yes."

Wen Jianyan nodded.

Although the difficulty of the copy is great, it will never completely kill the anchor.

The status of these bosses in the inner world is almost invincible, which is very out of the ordinary. If these inner worlds can overlap, the anchor may fall into the situation of facing multiple monsters that have no solution...

Since the mental realm of high-risk patients is a world of its own, it means that it is unlikely that these worlds will stack up, and may even be mutually exclusive.

This should also be the case of the dungeon in order to avoid letting the anchor fall into the enemy's back and face multiple bosses.

"So, we have escaped from Patient 01 now?"

After listening to the explanation, Huang Mao's face showed a look of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his eyes and glanced at the distant corridor with lingering fears, and lowered his voice subconsciously, "And you haven't had time to enter the spiritual realm of patient 04?"

"That's right." Wen Jianyan gave a positive answer.

I have to say that after learning this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The sense of danger and oppression on No. 04 is too strong, making people not want to have anything to do with him at all.

"Great," Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "that guy really made me feel uncomfortable."

As the protagonist of each other's paintings, no one wants to meet No. 04 more than Wen Jianyan.

but……

He lowered his eyes, and a worried look flashed across his eyes.

Wen Jianyan didn't think that this state of mutual exclusion could not be broken - otherwise, Dr. Reiss would not have known what he had done in Edward's spiritual world.

But this must be conditional, or limited.

After all, although Dr. Race witnessed the scene where he persuaded Edward to commit suicide, he never showed up.

The development of this dungeon so far is really too weird, which makes Wen Jianyan feel a vague sense of unease.

"In any case, let's not let our guard down so early." Luce said.

He turned his head, looked around slowly, and said in a low voice, "This patient No. 03 will be detained on the second basement floor, which means that the risk level will not be lower than that of No. 04."

To make matters worse, because the light in the other party's ward was dimmed when the meal was delivered before, they didn't take the meal box away until they left...

In other words, Patient 03 is completely unknown to them.

Gender, race, age, appearance, all are blank.

And this hallway, modeled on the other party's spiritual world, is terrifyingly empty. It is neither full of simple and straightforward violence and blood like Edward nor the paranoid middle-risk patient that Luce encountered. Weird.

This immeasurable unknown is especially frightening.

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes and swept towards the taskbar - the tasks above were refreshed at some point.

[Primary task has been released: find? ? ? ward]

[Intermediate quest has been released: Found? ? ? real name]

The two familiar tasks are now the only clues in their hands.

"Let's go, let's look forward."

Wen Jianyan suggested.

Instead of standing in the dark and waiting for danger to come, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the patients in Ward 03 are not discovered, seize the time to explore, and wait for the opportunity to complete the task, which may help improve their chances of survival.

He exchanged his flashlight and, guided by the faint light, walked forward cautiously.

The corridor is dark and long, with no windows, no doors, only slender, endless corridors. The sound of footsteps echoes in the empty corridor, and every step is like stepping on the heart.

The mutation of this spiritual world is more serious than Edward's, and it is almost impossible to see the original blueprint of the Heian Sanatorium.

"It's too depressing, it's so infiltrative."

Huang Mao followed closely behind Wen Jianyan and whispered softly.

Obviously in the last dungeon, he still regarded Wen Jianyan as a beast, but in this dungeon, the other party has become the main source of his sense of security.

Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan: "Do you need me to draw a card?"

Wen Jianyan shook her head: "No need yet."

It has not yet reached the point where divination is necessary, and precious talents cannot be wasted.

In the darkness, Huang Mao suddenly stopped.

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Wen Jianyan's cuff, his voice trembling: "In front, there is something in front."

"!!!"

The rest of the people were shocked.

There was silence in the ears.

Wen Jianyan held her breath subconsciously, turned her wrist slightly, and controlled the flashlight to shine forward.

I saw a black rabbit doll sitting quietly in the middle of the corridor, with dull brown eyes, and a small piece of paper under the body, with something written in scarlet scribbled letters.

"Come on, let's play hide and seek."

Huang Mao looked terrified, he stared straight at the note, and in a very low voice, softly read the words written on it.

"..."

Several people looked at each other in surprise.

They didn't see any enemies, and didn't hear any chasing, but for some reason, an eerie chill slowly crept up from under their feet, chilling their spinal cords and making their hairs stand on end.

"Continue to go."

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and said.

The group took a deep breath, settled down, carefully avoided the black rabbit in the middle of the corridor, subconsciously accelerated their pace, and continued to move forward in a hurry.

"Again, here again."

Huang Mao tugged on Wen Jianyan's sleeve in horror and said in a low voice.

Under the light of the slightly shaking flashlight, the second black rabbit doll appeared in front of everyone, and a note was also pressed under its body.

"I'm a ghost."

Huang Mao said in a trembling tone.

"..."

After carefully avoiding the second rabbit, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace again.

The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor, messy and hurried, as if trying to escape from some invisible shadow.

The corridor was dark and deep, as if it would never end, and the walls on both sides were cold and solid, like a passage leading straight to hell.

Soon, a fork appeared in front of everyone.

It radiates into the distance like a blood vessel, and can't see the edge at a glance.

The third black rabbit doll sat upright in front of the forked corridor, with a small note pressed under its body.

Huang Mao's complexion has completely lost its blood, and it is as pale as paper. His shoulders tremble slightly, like leaves in the autumn wind, and he whispers in a suffocating voice:

"100."

At that moment, Wen Jianyan saw a brand new task pop up again in the task bar.

[The primary time-limited task has been released: find the hiding place within 100 seconds]

[Intermediate time-limited mission has been released: hiding place not found]

Oh shit.

Wen Jianyan scolded secretly and said in a hurried voice, "Separate and hide!"

The silence was completely broken.

The sound of frantic footsteps echoed in all directions, and the six people dispersed at the fastest speed, running towards different corridors, trying to find a hiding place before the 60-second countdown ended.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help!

"Hurry up! Hurry up, the anchor!"

【99, 98, 97...】

Wen Jianyan gritted her teeth and ran along the corridor she had chosen.

The huge maze seems to have no exit, and different branches lead to different branches, making people dizzy and not knowing where they are.

hide and seek.

Where to hide?

As he ran, he scanned the corridor with his eyes.

【71, 70, 69...】

Time passed minute by minute, and the countdown slowly moved towards the end.

The walls were cold and smooth, extending straight into the darkness, no doors, no rooms, no exits, no entrances.

- There is no place to hide people.

what happened?

Wen Jianyan frowned slowly, with a confused look on her face.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"?"

"???"

"Grass, this has been running for a long time, how come there is not a single door!"

"Are other anchors like this?"

"I just came from the live broadcast room of the host next door... It seems that someone has already found a room to hide..."

"Yes, it seems that some corridors have rooms, and some corridors do not..."

"No, no, no? Can someone really avoid every hallway with a room perfectly?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

"will die."

"..."

"..."

【50, 49, 48...】

Half of the one-hundred-second countdown left.

But running all the way...

There is no place to hide.

There are no rooms, no corners, straight corridors and seamless walls all the way, nowhere to be seen.

As time went by, Wen Jianyan's heart couldn't help beating wildly, every part of his body throbbed in extreme tension, and his stomach gradually rolled.

Grass.

Hastily!

This must be too unfortunate, right? !

Suddenly, Wen Jianyan stopped abruptly.

The uneven sound of gasping reverberated in the corridor, and the rapid heartbeat hit the eardrum like a drumbeat. Wen Jianyan stood there, holding a flashlight in his hand.

Through the narrow lamp post, you can see that in front of the fork not far away, there is a small white rabbit on the ground with a note pressed underneath.

Three words were written crookedly on it:

【follow me】

A small arrow is drawn below, pointing to a corridor to the right.

"..."

Wen Jianyan clenched her teeth subconsciously, her knuckles turning white from the force.

There was no time to hesitate.

He made a quick decision, turned around as quickly as possible, and ran in the direction the arrow pointed!

Second intersection.

The White Rabbit appeared again.

【Here】

The arrow below points to the left.

【29, 28, 27...】

The countdown in the upper right corner of the line of sight continued to decrease, and there was less than half a minute left.

Hurry, hurry up.

Sweat dripped from Wen Jianyan's forehead, and her chest rose and fell rapidly.

White Rabbit sat quietly at the third intersection, waiting motionless for Wen Jianyan's arrival.

【continue】

Arrow points forward.

In the dark corridor, the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of rapid gasping reverberated. Wen Jianyan ran in the passage at the fastest speed, with the whistling wind and the loud noise of blood hitting his eardrums, he clenched his teeth tightly. Teeth crossed, feeling his adrenaline pumping all the way.

【10, 9, 8...】

The last ten seconds.

Tight muscles send out pain signals, and joints in the body rattle.

Wen Jianyan did not slow down.

The internal organs were twitching under tension, fear, and high pressure, as if being squeezed tightly by a hand, bringing about an overwhelming pain.

A door appeared in the darkness under the light of a flickering flashlight.

【5, 4, 3...】

The closed door is close at hand.

Wen Jianyan's mind was blank, and he almost lost the room to think, only his limbs acted on instinct.

"Crack."

The door handle was unscrewed.

【2】

Wen Jianyan stumbled and dashed in—

【1】

The door closed behind.

The countdown is over.

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the task: find the hiding place in 100 seconds

Bonus points: 200]

The familiar mechanical sound reverberated in his ears, Wen Jianyan fell to the ground, the ground in front of him turned black, he was panting rapidly, his body was hot under the intense exercise, his back was wet with sweat, and the thin protective clothing It sticks to the back and gives an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Fuck it scared me to death! Help!"

"Daily, this is too damn close!! I'm really out of breath!!!"

Before waiting for Wen Jianyan to relax, the system prompt sounded again, cold, rational, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, just dutifully broadcasting:

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the task: found? ? ? the ward

Bonus points: 200]

"..."

The darkness enveloped the body like a swamp, and the icy chill penetrated into the texture.

[Integrity First] There was a brief silence in the live broadcast room.

"..."

"...Wait, wait, here, this is the ward of No. 03?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

Wen Jianyan gasped in the dark.

There was silence in the ears.

He raised the hand holding the flashlight, turned his head slowly, and looked behind him——

The faint light of the flashlight could barely dispel the darkness, illuminating a familiar iron bed not far away.

There is a sign on the foot of the iron bed.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near outside the door, one step, two steps, walking steadily towards this side.

Wen Jianyan was startled, turned around subconsciously, turned her head to look at the door—

The next second, a hand stretched out in the darkness and covered Wen Jianyan's mouth tightly!

"!!!"

Wen Jianyan's eyes widened, and all the exclamations were blocked in his throat.

"Snapped--"

The flashlight fell from his hand, rolled gruntingly on the ground, flickered twice, and dimmed.

Under the dark bed.

Wen Jianyan felt that his limbs were tightly restrained, and his back was pressed against another icy body.

The other party's arm wrapped around him, his palm still covering his mouth, and a soft, low voice sounded close to his ear: "Shh."

"..." The young man's body was tense, like a bowstring that was stretched to the extreme. He lay at the bottom of the narrow bed, motionless, and what he had just seen on the iron sheet flashed in his mind.

【Patient name: ■■■■】

【Sex: Male】

[Disease: Multiple Personalities, Violent Tendency]

[Danger level: high risk]

"crunch-"

The door was pushed open from the outside.

The corridor didn't know when the scarlet lights came on, and the blood was smeared along the slowly opening door.

"Da da da."

Calm and steady footsteps approached.

Wen Jianyan held her breath, cold sweat oozing from her palms.

In the narrow field of vision at the bottom of the bed, a pair of feet can be seen approaching the edge of the bed.

The other party seemed to be humming something in a low voice, and the untuned nursery rhyme was intermittent, which made hair stand on end.

Get closer step by step.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Daily, come here!!!!"

"Ahhhhhhh I can't do it, I have to go out to catch my breath, I'm sorry brothers, I'll come back later!!"

The footsteps stopped.

The other party seemed to see something, and the untuned nursery rhyme disappeared, leaving only a terrifying silence.

rustle.

There was a sound of fabric rubbing.

"..." Wen Jianyan's eyes moved, and her eyes fell on the flashlight not far from the feet, her pupils involuntarily tightening slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a pale slender hand slowly pick up the flashlight.

"Ah... are you here? My little bunny?"

the voice asked cheerfully.

"Da da da."

Footsteps approached the bed.

With every step closer, Wen Jianyan's body tightened an inch.

rustle.

There was a sound of fabric rubbing.

The fabric on the outer edge of the bed was lifted, and the other party leaned over and looked towards the bottom of the bed.

Under the light of the blood-colored light, Wen Jianyan could easily see the face of the other party - it was a tall boy with black hair and dark eyes, a smile on his lips, and a handsome face, but there was something about him that made people feel Panic madness and neuroticism.

He dragged a pitch-black rabbit in one hand, and blood dripped from the rabbit.

At the moment when the cruel gaze was cast, Wen Jianyan almost forgot how to breathe.

"..."

The other party's gaze swept across the bed carefully, but it seemed to penetrate directly from his body, without landing anything concrete.

A disappointed look appeared on the black-haired boy's face.

"not here."

He let go, and the fabric on the edge of the bed fell, blocking the light outside.

With the sound of footsteps away, Wen Jianyan's body relaxed a little bit.

"Click."

The door was closed.

The bloody light disappeared, leaving nothing but darkness.

【Ding! Congratulations to the anchor for completing the mission: the hiding place is not found

Bonus points: 500]

……ended.

Wen Jianyan let out a long sigh of relief.

As the sound of the system disappeared, the hand that had been covering his mouth was retracted, and he gently let go.

He got out from under the bed, tossed his dusty hair and looked at the other person in the room.

The young man has snow-white hair, a pair of light blue eyes, a gentle expression, and pursed lips shyly. The whole person seems to be carved out of ice and snow, clean and transparent.

He was dragging a white rabbit in one hand.

It was the one who showed Wen Jianyan the way before.

Although he has the exact same face as the madman just now, the temperament of this personality is very different.

"Are you alright?" the boy asked.

Wen Jianyan gasped in shock and shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry, my brother..." The boy showed an indescribable expression.

After a few seconds of pause, he sighed and clenched the rabbit doll in his hand in frustration:

"I, I'm a coward, sorry."

"No, you don't need to apologize." Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, shook her head, and looked at him gently, "If it wasn't for you, I might have been found by him now."

Hearing the other party's thanks, a light blush appeared on the boy's snow-white face.

He pursed his lips shyly and murmured:

"No, no thanks."

"What's your name?" Wen Jianyan stretched out her hand, rubbed the other person's fluffy soft top, and asked gently.

"Neil."

The young man raised his head, admiringly, wetly, and staring at the young man in front of him with affectionate eyes.

"When... when he appears, I will hide," Nair rubbed in his direction and carefully grabbed his sleeve:

"Are you... going to hide in together?"

"You and your friends can come in, and I'll protect you," said the cowardly protagonist.

The youth showed an excited expression: "Really?"

"I, I try."

The boy nodded earnestly.

Holding the snow-white rabbit doll, he walked to the closed cabinet and raised his hand to open the cabinet.

A secret passage appeared in the cabinet.

Beyond the passage, it is a pure white world with the same pattern as here.

"right here--"

The young man turned his head and looked at the young man who had moved to the door unknowingly, with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"

"Baby, you are really realistic."

Wen Jianyan smiled frivolously and glanced down: "Of course, if the rabbit in your hand is not a human eye, it will be more perfect."

The next second, the props that have been prepared are activated immediately!

The boy's feet were stuck to the ground.

"Anyway, thank you for letting me hide for a while."

Wen Jianyan winked slyly at him, opened the door like a stream of water, turned around and escaped, like a rabbit regaining its freedom:

"Bye-Bye."

"..."

The room fell silent again.

The white-haired boy lowered his eyes and stared at the rabbit in his arms.

The innocent, innocent face that was as pure as white paper lost its smile, leaving only a cold void.

He stretched out his hand, poked his slender fingertips into the rabbit's eyeballs, and slowly dug out the two bloody eyeballs in the sound of sticky water.

"It's all your fault."

he complained.

"My little bunny ran away."

The two eyeballs of "Zizi" were mercilessly crushed into flesh and fell to the ground.

"Oh, why?"

No. 03 raised his eyes, the almost neurotic madness in his eyes was comparable to that of his other personality, he gently hugged the rabbit in his arms, buried his face in the fluff, and said sadly:

"Both of us brothers always have the same taste."

The white-haired boy raised the corners of his lips, showing a pure angelic smile, rubbing the rabbit doll with his cheek:

"But he must have liked me more this time."

He licked his blood-stained fingers, his eyes stained with intoxicated madness, and he chuckled:

"He called me baby."
