Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 180

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.

He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally landed on the wooden door of the confession room. With a little force, the door pivot turned, and the door that seemed to be welded to death made a light "creak" sound, and it was easily in his door. open in front.

A man wearing a nursing uniform from Ping An Nursing Home appeared in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared, the moment he saw the other's face, Wen Jianyan couldn't help but suffocate slightly.

The visitor's face had no facial features, his skin was pale and smooth, and he was bald.

His voice came clearly:

"Are you ready, Father?"

"Well," Wen Jianyan nodded habitually, but before he finished speaking, the 5% progress bar above his head suddenly began to drop, and returned to 0%, and even continued to decline—

Wen Jianyan's heart suddenly tightened.

He didn't want to know what would happen if the progress bar dropped below a negative number!

The other party's words just flashed across his mind, Wen Jianyan seemed to realize something suddenly, he turned his head, swept to the side subconsciously, and something hit his line of sight.

"Ah, I almost forgot about this."

he said calmly.

The downtrend was paused.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, turned around, walked to the small table beside him, slowly reached out, and picked up a pitch-black bottle from above.

The progress bar has risen back to five percent, and it continues to rise one by one.

Although Wen Jianyan is not a priest, not even a believer, and has never witnessed any exorcism ceremony, after all, there are many film and television works based on this theme. A little bit conceptual.

Wen Jian swayed without a trace, there was a faint, almost untraceable sound of water, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.

——This is probably the holy water needed for the exorcism ceremony.

The cross, the Bible, the holy water...

There should be nothing else, right?

Wen Jianyan looked around - the location where he was now was not the gloomy catacomb before, but the chapel he once saw after the bell rang.

High dome, sacred pulpit, rows of black wooden seats.

Wen Jianyan's gaze stayed in the third row for a moment.

It was empty and there was no sign of Luce and the two of them.

After confirming that there was nothing he might carry nearby, he took a deep breath and turned his head: "Okay, let's go."

The faceless man nodded: "Please."

Saying that, he turned around and led the way for Wen Jianyan.

The progress bar is steady at 10%.

[Integrity First] The live broadcast room is already boiling:

"Oh oh oh oh! Oh my god!! This is the first time I've seen this hidden route!"

"Me too! I've watched Ping An Nursing Home for so long, and I really haven't seen the anchor open this thread!"

"The difficulty of this route is really harsh. Not only do you have to touch the catacombs of the chapel and start the task of obtaining epic items, you also have to get the two ordinary hidden items in the dean's room..."

"Yes, I came from Luce's live broadcast room. Although he has a Bible in his hand, he didn't open this branch after entering the confessional room. It should take two to open it together."

"God, I'm also excited, this wave of distance from the main quest is really, really quiet!"

"...Am I the only one taking screenshots silently?"

"Save... I'm really fascinated by the anchor's priest dressing up!"

"!! Add me one in front!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Wen Jianyan followed behind the person and walked forward step by step.

The dark priest's uniform was tightly fastened to Wen Jianyan's neck, revealing only a thin line of white skin. The amber eyeballs were half hidden under the eyelashes of the same color. The iris, which was not dark in color, was even more pale, so bright that it was almost false. The light fell from the top of the head, coating the top of the young man's silver-white hair with a light and holy halo, the cross hanging on the chest swayed slightly as he walked, shining with silver light, it looked like a saint. The clergy are also like the clergy.

Soon, the two left the church.

The door of the church was closed behind, but what appeared outside the door was not the familiar empty atrium, but a familiar metal door.

This is... a hidden laboratory in the Ping An Sanatorium?

"..."

Wen Jianyan was slightly startled.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

The location that used to be the door of the church has now disappeared, leaving only a void of chaos, like an abyss-like darkness.

It seems that in this special branch line, the concept of space has no meaning, and everything is only for the purpose of branch line tasks.

He took a deep breath, looked away, and walked towards the door.

The progress bar is at 15%.

Unlike the last time I came here, the Ping An Sanatorium here has no trace of pollution at all. The scarlet flesh membrane on the top of the head has disappeared, leaving only the smooth white and bright ceiling. It was like turning back time, showing signs of rigor and neatness.

Faceless people in white coats walked around the laboratory, walking in a hurry, talking to each other in low voices.

The entire laboratory was enveloped in a tense and breathless atmosphere.

A faceless man stepped forward, facing Wen Jianyan with his blank facial features, and said, "Father, you are here, we will wait for you."

Wen Jianyan nodded silently, adhering to the principle of speaking more and making more mistakes, and speaking less and making fewer mistakes.

"Before the plan starts, we need you to finally perform an exorcism ceremony for these poor people possessed by evil spirits," the faceless man said, drawing a standard cross on his chest: "May the Lord bless them."

Before the program starts?

Wen Jianyan keenly captured the key words in the other party's words.

"Have you brought everything you need?"

Faceless asked.

Wen Jianyan nodded cautiously again.

The progress bar did not rise or fall, and remained above the 15% figure.

"Very good, please come with me." As the faceless man said, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the laboratory.

Wen Jianyan followed behind him and swept his eyes to the side without a trace - without the obstruction of those thick and sticky sarcomas, the whole laboratory was in full view.

Due to the imminent danger and the wounded in his hands, the last time he left was very hasty, and he could only leave in a hurry without collecting too much information. Under the circumstance of being swallowed, there is no way for him to return here to collect clues.

But what Wen Jianyan didn't expect was that he would come back in this way.

As he walked forward, his mind became active.

Do you want to... try to make a statement?

Suddenly, the faceless man walking in front stopped. He turned his head, looked at Wen Jianyan, and said, "Father, why don't we start with number 01 first."

01? !

This familiar name made Wen Jianyan's body froze involuntarily, and subconsciously raised his eyes and looked forward.

What appeared in front of him was a small cubicle, almost the size of a ward, with small numbers branded on the iron nameplate at the door.

【01】

"..."

Wen Jianyan had a very ominous feeling.

I saw the faceless man in front of him sideways to make way for him, and the heavy iron gate in front opened silently and slowly: "Please exorcise him."

Seemingly aware of Wen Jianyan's rigidity, the faceless man added:

"Don't worry, he has been firmly tied up by us, you will not be in danger."

Due to Wen Jianyan's stagnation, the progress bar above his head was about to move, and it seemed that there was a downward trend again.

"..."

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and smiled: "Thank you."

After speaking, Wen Jianyan bit the bullet and walked towards the first compartment.

The compartment is not big, and there is a restraint bed in the center. The hands and feet of the tall man are tightly bound to it. He has unkempt blond hair. Although his face has no facial features like the other people in this branch, he has no facial features. But it didn't prevent Wen Jianyan from recognizing the other party's identity.

"..."

Old acquaintances belong to yes.

After hearing someone enter, 01, who was tightly bound to the bed, suddenly began to struggle. He didn't seem to mind the restraint belt on his body, and with a strong, almost savage hostility, he struggled violently.

The iron bed made a "squeak" rubbing sound, and Wen Jianyan was shocked, almost having the illusion that the other party would break free, and could not help but take a step back.

At this moment, the empty taskbar on the side was updated.

The steps of the exorcism ritual emerge above.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, took out the props Bible from his pocket, and found one page according to the instructions.

Immediately afterwards, he unscrewed the small bottle, dipped a little holy water with his fingertips, walked carefully to the edge of the iron bed, and crossed the other's cold and pale forehead with his fingertips.

No. 01 struggled louder.

Even without any words, Wen Jianyan could feel the strong killing intent escaping from the inside out - obviously, 01 doesn't know him now.

This is a good thing for Wen Jianyan.

He took a deep breath, picked up the cross in one hand, pressed the cold metal to the soft and warm lips, and began to recite the above paragraphs in a low voice.

With the sound of the voice, the progress bar above his head began to slowly rise.

The young man's voice was low, clear and peaceful, and even if he did not believe in God, it did not prevent his voice from sounding so pious and holy.

01's struggle gradually became smaller and quieter.

However, Wen Jianyan didn't think that the task in this special branch line would be completed so easily. He read the contents of the Bible as instructed, while being alert to all possible dangerous situations.

Suddenly, he realized that in the air in front of him, a translucent human figure was slowly outlined.

As the scriptures were read out line by line, the human figure slowly solidified.

Tall, beast-like physique, deep-profiled features, crazy blue eyes.

And that gigantic axe that was too terrifying compared to humans.

"!!!"

Wen Jianyan was taken aback.

Oops, he probably knows what danger he is about to face in this special side quest!

The next second, the phantom of No. 01 showed a paranoid and fanatical smile, slowly lifted the heavy axe, and with the whistling wind, the giant axe fell heavily!

Wen Jianyan avoided it.

The translucent axe blade easily smashed the table next to it, and the sawdust cracked and scattered!

bad bad bad!

While cursing in a low voice, Wen Jianyan struggled to dodge in the narrow room, trying to avoid the sharp axe blade that hit him one at a time. He even tried to hide under the bed to induce the opponent to attack his own body, but , the axe easily passed through the bed board and slashed heavily on the ground beside him.

After the axe was raised again, the bed and the person lying on it were unscathed.

Damn, it still locks the damage!

Wen Jianyan's eyes darkened with anger.

The phantom image of 01 is a tireless machine, with only the instinct to attack, unable to communicate, unable to stop, and will only attack the only enemy in the entire room over and over again: the priest who held an exorcism ceremony for himself.

It became more and more difficult for Wen Jianyan to avoid.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something——

He rolled forward on the spot, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed the dusty Bible that fell on the ground, and quickly found the previous page.

Since this phantom was born due to the exorcism ceremony, it should disappear once the exorcism ceremony is over!

Wen Jian spoke faster and continued to chant.

The paused progress bar overhead starts to rise again.

However, as the exorcism scriptures reverberated in the air, the phantom's movements became faster, and Wen Jianyan almost got hit several times.

His heart was beating wildly, and while his eyes were staring at the phantom's movements, he always glanced at the pages of the book in his hand, and his lips stumbled as he read the words that were unclear and difficult to understand.

It is very difficult even for Wen Jianyan.

Soon, soon, the last paragraph left!

Wen Jianyan was short of breath, murmured the prayer, her eyes fell, and she searched for the last sentence on the page—

He was only distracted for a second.

The whistling wind came violently, and the shadow fell from the top of the head at an uncapable speed. At that moment, only one sentence emerged in Wen Jianyan's mind.

It's over, can't escape.

The priest clings to the corner of the wall in embarrassment, the jet-black robe wrapped around his body has become messy and dirty during the escape just now, covered with dust, silver-white hair sticks to the skin, and the cheekbones have an over-exercise blush. , in the amber eyes, the axe blade that is getting closer and closer to him is reflected.

Every second feels like it's been stretched out into a century.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Wuwuwu help me, I dare not watch it, I really dare not watch it!"

"No! My little priest, you can't have an accident!"

In addition to the mourning that the anchor is sure to die, there are also a lot of excited remarks:

"Cut down! Chop down!"

"Father turn around, okay!"

A cold system sound rang in my ears: [Detected that the anchor carries special items in the backpack, does it consume Sanity Points to activate? 】

"activation!"

Almost without thinking, Wen Jianyan closed her eyes tightly and shouted at the fastest speed.

——The next second, the icy axe blade stopped abruptly just an inch away from his forehead.

occur……

what?

Wen Jianyan's eyelashes moved and slowly opened, his sweaty back was against the wall, panting in shock, unable to react to the current situation for a while.

He tilted his head cautiously and secretly looked in front of him——

I saw that in front of the 01 phantom, a bone phantom similar to a dog toy was suspended in mid-air, floating silently.

The frantic and crazy state of the other party calmed down instantly.

Those azure blue eyes seemed to briefly restore reason and sanity.

01 tilted his head and looked at the priest in front of him with a thoughtful expression.

...to be appeased?

Wen Jianyan was stunned, and his eyes fell on the dog bones floating in front of him - isn't this the hidden prop he found in the ward of the 01 spiritual world before!

It seems that all the hidden props in this dungeon are not just collectibles.

Whether it is the cross and the Bible found in the dean's room, or the difficult-level hidden props obtained in the spiritual world of high-risk patients, each has its own role in this dungeon.

In that case...

Wouldn't the other props he collected before also come in handy?

While Wen Jianyan was thinking about it, the phantom in front of him suddenly moved again.

The tall figure of the man approached suddenly, leaned down, opened his translucent arms, and tightly wrapped the slender priest in front of him into his arms, sniffing the tip of his nose between the other's neck, as if he was looking for him. What a familiar smell like.

"...?"

A confused murmur overflowed from 01's throat.

Wen Jianyan was taken aback by the other party's actions, he seized the time to stop distracted, looked down at the crumpled Bible in his palm, and read the last sentence as quickly as possible.

At the moment when the voice fell, the phantom suddenly dissipated, and at the same time, the progress bar above Wen Jianyan's head also rose to 30%.

"……call."

Wen Jianyan let out a long breath, and suddenly felt that all his strength was drained. He leaned against the wall to support his weight and took a deep breath.

At least this is the end.

With sweaty, feeble fingers, he closed the Bible, and as if trying to make sure, he reached into his pocket with the other hand—empty as expected.

For the rules of this scene, Wen Jianyan already has a general framework in mind.

Obviously, after entering the special line, he not only changed his outfit, but all the props he had obtained before were left out of this scene.

That is to say, he needs to exorcise the high-risk patient next, and during the exorcism process, the other party will also attack him. If he spends Sanity Points, he can briefly use the props he obtained in the high-risk patient's room.

According to 01's performance just now, the props have a very obvious soothing effect, which can buy him time to finish the exorcism prayer.

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on the sanity health bar floating in the air.

I just used the props, which caused the blood bar to be bitten. According to the amount of the props used at one time, I can use it about three times, which is roughly enough, but Wen Jianyan is not willing to face such a limit situation to prevent it from happening later. What an accident, so, he will try hard during one of the high-risk exorcism processes, and try to compress the number of props used to about 2 times.

The ability of No. 02 is difficult to deal with, No. 03 has two people, and No. 04 will be relatively suitable.

Thoughts circled in his mind, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, feeling that the strength he had just lost was gradually coming back, he stood up, carefully patted the dust off his body, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and straightened himself The slightly crooked white neckline, after confirming that everything is as usual, took a step and walked towards the door.

What he didn't notice was that behind him, since the exorcism ceremony ended, the No. 01 body, which was tightly bound to the bed, never struggled again. Due to the blank facial features, it was difficult to see whether he was awake or not. Falling asleep, the only change that happened was that when Wen Jianyan turned around and walked out, the face was also turning, as if his eyes were straight on him.

Wen Jianyan left the compartment of No. 01.

The faceless man who brought him here was waiting outside. After seeing Wen Jianyan, he said, "Father, is the ceremony going well?"

Wen Jianyan nodded, and pretended to make a cross on his chest:

"May the Lord bless him."

"Let's continue."

In room 01, Wen Jianyan has basically figured out the general clearance mode in this special scene, plus he is very familiar with these high risks, and has props that can restrain the opponent, so except in the first In a cubicle, he seemed extraordinarily chaotic due to his unfamiliarity, and the next exorcism was extraordinarily handy.

Soon, the exorcism rituals of No. 02, No. 03 and No. 04 all ended successfully.

Wen Jianyan's progress bar also successfully rose to 90%.

After leaving room 04, he stared at the progress bar above his head with a puzzled look.

In addition to the 15% progress obtained from admitting identity, preparing props, and entering the laboratory at the beginning, every time an exorcism ceremony is held for a high-risk event, the progress bar will increase by 15%. He gave 30%, but even though all the high-risk patients in his impression had already appeared once, his progress bar was still a little short of 100%.

strangeness……

How can the last step be accomplished?

Could it have something to do with Dr. Reese?

Wen Jianyan pursed her lips with a solemn expression on her face.

Among all these NPCs, only the spiritual world of Dr. Reiss he has never entered, and he does not even know the real name of the other party. If the last 10% is really related to Dr. Reiss, then he is really need to proceed with caution.

He took a deep breath and stepped out of the ward of No. 04.

As soon as he came out, the faceless man who had been leading the way for him greeted him:

"Father, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard," Wen Jianyan shook her head and lied without blushing, "all of this is for the Lord's cause."

Hearing this, the other party was greatly moved:

"You are really merciful and pious, you are like a saint alive."

After complimenting him like St. John, the faceless man changed his words: "You know, our plan is about to start, and before we start, there may be one last exorcism work that needs your participation... However, this may be a little special..."

Wen Jianyan was refreshed and instantly realized that the other party should get to the point.

"There will be a special... to take you there."

The faceless man said, turning his head to look behind him.

A slender man with meticulous hair and also faceless stepped forward from a few steps away and nodded to Wen Jianyan:

"Father."

This voice is so familiar that even without any prompting, Wen Jianyan can easily recognize the other party from this blank state without facial features.

Dr. Race, faceless, said, "Come with me, please."

With that said, he turned around and walked forward first.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, calmed down, and followed suit.

The distance is not long, but just a few short steps away, Wen Jianyan realized that the number of staff around was greatly reduced, and the line of sight instantly became empty.

Dr. Reiss stopped:

"It's here."

The one that appears in front of you is the innermost, the most hidden compartment, and it is almost difficult to see what it looks like from the angle just now.

Wen Jianyan's eyes fell on the nameplate of the iron gate in front of her, and she breathed a little.
