Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 258

Under the ominous red light, Wen Jianyan and Acropolis stayed where they were and waited.

Although the distance between them and the "customer" is not too far, perhaps due to the fact that the two sides have already begun to confront, the surrounding darkness is deep and thick, except for the occasional faint candlelight that flashes by, it is completely invisible. What exactly happened in the direction.

Footsteps, coughing, the strange sound of prop activation... Countless sounds mixed together, echoing in the darkness, and it was heart-wrenching to hear.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the darkness, the human imagination became more active because of this, as if every corner of the darkness lurked an invisible danger, and things were getting worse every second. Waiting has also become extraordinarily painful.

The invisible string tightened slowly, as if it would snap suddenly without warning in the next second.

As time passed, the darkness gradually dissipated, like the mist in the morning.

The barrier in front of the two of them gradually lost its function. From the neatly arranged red tables and chairs, to the counter not far away, shrouded in the light of oil lamps, all began to slowly emerge in front of them.

The gloomy and icy rancid smell is gradually leaving, and the temperature in the store is gradually returning to normal.

Although he didn't know what happened, Acropolis couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Great, it's all coming to an end.

"..."

However, Wen Jianyan on the side held her breath, and her body stiffened.

The Acropolis holding him felt the change in the other's body and turned to look.

The girl's profile was hidden between her long silver-white hair, revealing only her slender chin. Her skin was so pale that it seemed that it would dissipate into the darkness in the next second. She looked fragile and pitiful.

"Don't worry, at the level of the captain, nothing will happen." Wei Cheng thought he was worried about the safety of his teammates, so he couldn't help feeling pity, and said comfortingly.

"……Ok, I know."

Wen Jianyan didn't explain, his eyes were glued to the direction of the voice, and he nodded absently.

The darkness continued to dissipate.

Vision has almost completely returned to normal. Only the direction of the customer is still shrouded in darkness that cannot be penetrated by sight. However, according to the current progress, it should not last long.

When everything is going in the right direction...

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!

Without warning, the darkness that had been successfully dissipated suddenly became several times gloomy, thick and viscous like ink, and the darkness was pressing towards the two of them!

Visibility was reduced to a minimum, almost to the point of being invisible.

At the same time, the temperature dropped sharply, almost freezing people's blood, and the cold and gloomy air cut through the skin, causing a slight pain.

"!"

Acropolis' pupils suddenly shrank.

——According to past experience, such a situation often represents the advent of danger.

"rest assured."

The girl's voice sounded.

"what?"

Acropolis was startled and turned to look at Wen Jianyan.

The other party is still slender and fragile, but the face that was expressionless just now has a soft and gentle smile, and a pair of amber eyes are slightly squinted, looking like Extraordinarily harmless to humans and animals.

In the boundless and dangerous darkness, the smile on the girl's face was so innocent and happy, and the strong contrast between the two made one almost chill behind.

She smiled and said:

"It's a good thing."

Acropolis: "..."

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"..."

"It's not that I said, the anchor looks really a little perverted like this."

"Hahahahaha indeed, it's very anti-social!"

"Grass, what's going on? I'm actually a little excited!"

"Wuwu, the perverted and weak beauty is so fragrant!"

Wen Jianyan didn't notice Acropolis's complex expression, but turned her head and looked again in the direction of the customer not far away.

The darkness dissipated, proving that Tangerine Candy successfully removed the blue-black charm from the customer. Therefore, the charm lost its binding force, and customers who did not belong to their store would naturally return to the original one under the constraints of the rules. In the shop, if they let things go in this direction, they will definitely be empty.

But now, the darkness is deep and danger is coming, which proves that Zhang Yu has successfully attached the yellow charm to the customer.

It seems that his previous guess about the role of the yellow talisman was correct.

That is to say...

Customer ownership has changed.

The curvature of Wen Jianyan's lips deepened slightly.

"Then, let's go next..."

Before she knew it, Acropolis began to solicit Wen Jianyan's opinion.

"Wait."

Wen Jianyan straightened up and answered calmly.

The black talisman can allow customers to go to other stores to eat, but the final profit belongs to the original store. Now it seems that the yellow talisman can stop this trend and change the customer's right to belong.

Under the premise that the anchors have almost no chance to leave the store, it can only be used when the black symbol is activated.

Compared with the two, Huang Fu seems too ordinary.

According to the previous donation box between the second and third floors, the black talisman and the yellow talisman should be items of the same level.

In other words, the role of the yellow talisman should be more than just this...

Wen Jianyan raised her eyes and began to look around.

"Hey, sigh!"

In the darkness, the red candle in his hand suddenly jumped, and the flames above violently surged, but the scope of illumination was compressed to a minimum.

Suddenly, familiar footsteps sounded from the darkness.

Old and slow, he was walking in the direction of the red candle light step by step, like a life-threatening spell.

Acropolis heard the footsteps, and his breath suddenly choked:

"No, customers are heading in our direction!"

Darkness fell, the customer resumed action, and the two teammates who had been in close contact with the customer disappeared without a trace.

Could it be that……

Have the captain and Zhang Yu been killed?

Acropolis suddenly panicked: "We'd better go back to the counter first and then——"

"Let's go." Wen Jian said.

"...What?" Acropolis was startled, but didn't respond for a while.

"I said, let it go." Wen Jianyan took a step in the direction of the Acropolis while talking, avoiding him and looking at the ground behind him.

Acropolis didn't know why, but he still got out of the way, and let Wen Jianyan walk to a position not far behind him, crouched down to check something:

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

"certainly."

Wen Jianyan stood up straight and pointed to the ground he had just observed: "Look."

Acropolis bent down and looked by the candlelight in his hand.

He was startled, almost unable to believe his eyes.

A few steps away from him, it was no longer the smooth black floor in the shop, but at some point it turned into loose and moist brown soil, showing an ominous color under the light of red candles.

Acropolis looked up blankly and looked into the distance along the road of this wasteland—

It seemed to extend in the direction of the dark room deep in the shop.

There, there are countless spiritual places and statues, like a small ancestral hall.

"This...this is..." Acropolis said with his eyes wide open.

Wen Jianyan raised her head, with an ominous red light reflected in the depths of her eyes, looking very eerie in the darkness: "I think... this is a small road."

A winding road.

In the last painting on the upper floor, he had entered it. I am afraid that in the entire copy, no one knows better than him the direction this road will eventually lead to.

It was a cemetery immersed in darkness, filled with countless graves.

In front of each tomb bag, there are the exact same spiritual positions and portraits as in the dark room on the fourth floor, as well as brass incense burners and rotten sacrifices that are inextricably linked with the customs clearance rules on the fourth floor.

At that moment, many previously neglected details were instantly linked together, like countless trivial little beads were connected into a string by a thin line, and countless questions seemed to have answers.

Why are sacrifices placed in front of all the statues and spiritual places in the cemetery on the third floor?

Why in the dark room at the back of the shop on the fourth floor, are there spiritual places and portraits that are very similar to those in the cemetery?

Why is there red furniture on the fourth floor, but they don't know where the red furniture is connected?

Why in the stairwell from the third floor to the fourth floor, after the first customer and Wen Jianyan completed the transaction, would they just disappear?

Why did the second customer received on the fourth floor, after enjoying the sacrifice, not turn around and leave the store like the other floors, but disappeared directly after leaving the ghost coins?

Before that, Wen Jianyan hadn't thought about this question, because no matter whether the answer could be found or not, these questions seemed to have nothing to do with the copy of [Changsheng Building].

However, at this moment, all the questions that were left behind were instantly answered.

perhaps……

When [Prosperity Building] is essentially a closed loop, it is a huge cemetery.

And Wen Jianyan was almost lost because of an accident when he was on the upper floor.

Countless details from before... paper money, corpse oil, spells, and red furniture, presumably as burial objects, all hint at this from the side.

In the previous three floors, I purchased different parts of the body, and gradually pieced together a complete "customer", who would enjoy offerings and sacrifices on the fourth floor, and then be guided to the tomb bag where they should exist, falling into eternal life. slumber.

Therefore, the "customers" who have finished enjoying the offerings on the fourth floor will not "walk" out of the store like the previous three floors, but will enter the spiritual position and the graves symbolized by the remains under the guidance of the sacrifices. inside, disappear directly.

And as shown on the third floor, there is a road after each tomb, and that road will lead to a courtyard.

And that courtyard will "trapped" these terrifying ghosts in it.

In the cemetery on the third floor, those grave bags with rotten sacrifices placed in front of them are the "customers" who were guided by the rules in the building to complete the cycle in the previous dungeons.

And these anchors, as new employees in [Prosperity Building], are responsible for introducing more "customers" into their resting places.

The heavy and slow footsteps of the customer came closer.

Suddenly, Acropolis exclaimed: "Be careful!"

He raised his hand and yanked Wen Jianyan off the path.

Wen Jianyan was caught off guard, and he stumbled back a few steps away from the winding path under his feet.

He fixed his eyes.

I saw that there was a black shadow where I just stood, like an abyss leading to a bottomless abyss, a few blue-black palms covered with corpse spots slowly retracted from it, as long as Wen Jianyan took a step back just now and would be dragged into the shadows.

The moment he realized this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Wen Jianyan's back.

"Wait..." Acropolis' face was a little ugly, "This, this is the way the last customer attacked someone... Isn't it already sent away?!"

"I think, I know the role of Huang Fu."

Wen Jianyan looked at the Acropolis and said succinctly, "No matter the yellow talisman or the black talisman, the function is to let the 'customer' enter the cemetery without consuming the incense, but the function of the black talisman is to divert hatred and let the 'customer' enter the cemetery without consuming the incense. Customers' go to other stores to loot offerings so they can get results without expending any resources."

"And the yellow talisman..."

As Wen Jianyan spoke, she turned her head to look in the direction of the path, and said very fast:

"Huang Fu is to show the way of customers without any resource consumption, but if you want to lure customers, you can only rely on the anchor yourself. Old customers can go in, and old customers can come out, so while Huang Fu can save the incense consumption, it will also expose the team that opens the way to more danger."

Acropolis was stunned when he heard it.

Since he has never entered the third painting on the third floor, he actually does not understand many of the mysteries in the other party's words, and Wen Jianyan himself does not need him to understand, but just needs to sort out his own thoughts in one way. That's it.

However, about the danger of this road, the Acropolis understands the dangers of the road a lot.

He turned his head to look at the slow footsteps approaching behind him, and then turned to look at the black shadow and cyan palm that gradually emerged at the end of the path. A little cold sweat could not help oozing out of his forehead, and his face turned pale:

"So, what do we do now?"

"Wait." Wen Jianyan was still concise.

Wait?

What are you waiting for?

Waiting for two customers one after the other to kill them!

Acropolis felt that his mind was already a little confused, his scalp was numb, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

However, the girl beside her still maintained a very calm expression, standing firmly beside the path, she was obviously slender and thin, as if she was knocked down by the wind, but now she was like a rock that was still, firm and calm. , full of a strong sense of belief that came from nowhere, and an inexplicable urge to believe in him.

"..."

Acropolis bites the bullet and can only follow Wen Jianyan and continue to wait with him.

The footsteps and the palms on the ground came closer.

He heard a cough not far away... "Cough, cough!"

As if the god of death was slowly approaching, he could almost smell the rotten smell coming from the corpse, which was almost nauseating.

closer.

The footsteps sounded as if they were close to the side, and the blue-black rotten palm was close at hand, and even invaded the area where the red light emitted by the candles——

"It's now!"

Wen Jianyan took the burning red candle from Acropolis, rounded her arms, and threw it far away at the end of the path!

The half-burned candle spun and disappeared into the darkness.

Acropolis: "????"

He opened his mouth sharply.

wait wait wait? !

They only have one candle! !

Whether it is a candle or an oil lamp, red or white, it can illuminate the darkness and can be judged as "turning on the light" by the rules. Although the red light will attract the hatred of "customers", it will also protect them from being Devouring the darkness and throwing the candles out is tantamount to dying!

Acropolis' eyes turned dark, and looked at Wen Jianyan in despair.

——I saw that the other party magically took out a second white candle from his arms and quickly lit it.

"Let's go!"

Wen Jianyan said hurriedly.

Acropolis: "..."

? !

Wait, how much of this stuff do you have!

"Don't feel bad," Wen Jianyan said comfortably, as if he could see what Acropolis was thinking, "I've gotten along a lot."

As long as he could get it in the courtyard on the third floor, he didn't leave any.

Called the goose over-plucking.
