Welcome to the Nightmare Live

There were loud footsteps and low voices at the end of the corridor. The group of people seemed to be frantically searching for the source of the sound, and they should be able to find it soon.

Wen Jianyan didn't ask any more questions.

After a brief exchange of contact details, the three squads soon split up.

Wen Jianyan had already memorized the internal structure of the hotel by heart. With his other team members, he held his breath and walked silently in another direction, nimbly and subtly in the complicated corridor. Circling around, skillfully and easily left the chaser's footsteps behind.

There was a dead silence in the corridor, and only through the walls, the chaotic reverberation could still be heard faintly.

Overhead was a dim red light that enveloped the narrow, damp corridor.

The doors on both sides were tightly closed, some with "Do Not Disturb" signs on them, and some not, but even so, they didn't dare to break in at will, after all, no one knew whether there would be each other inside. Specter that the team pulled in from the town.

There are faint lines on the ceiling and walls, as if they were cracked from the depths, and they are still cracking.

Wet, cold water seeped out from the cracks in the walls, moistening the carpet, and the blurred patterns on the wallpaper became blurred, and there were gradually deepening water stains everywhere.

"Tick", "tick." Faint drops of water echoed in all directions.

The hotel is leaking.

But no one could find the exact location.

A group of people moved forward against the wall, walking lightly, slipping through the empty corridor like a shadow.

Different from the first day, the humidity in the air of Xingwang Hotel is very high. Even if I stayed here for a short time, my skin became wet and greasy, and my thin shirt was stuck to my body because of this. , gives a very uncomfortable feeling.

"..."

Wen Jianyan hooked her neckline with her fingers and raised her eyes to look forward.

"408" with the door closed appeared not far away.

The door was closed, and the "Do Not Disturb" light was on, emitting a faint light, which was particularly dazzling in the dim corridor.

Their destination has arrived.

Although the house numbers of many hotel rooms have changed, making Wen Jianyan a little more difficult, the overall situation is still smooth.

"Are you ready?" Wen Jianyan asked, standing in front of the door.

Huang Mao swallowed his saliva, stared at the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute, isn't that ghost still inside...?"

"I'm afraid yes." Wen Jianyan nodded and said.

"Didn't we go in before?" Chen Mo glanced at Huang Mao, "We are hotel employees from the same camp, so we shouldn't be attacked by the guests who brought us in." That's what he said...

But that was the first day after all, and no one knows if this rule will still apply today.

However, since they are now going back to the original broken house, they must enter the town through room 408. In any case, this is a necessary means.

Huang Mao also knows this.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded decisively: "...Ready."

After getting a positive answer, Wen Jianyan pressed her palm down. The door creaked open.

He took a step forward and stepped into the icy water. Wen Jianyan paused, turned on the flashlight, and looked into the room.

The walls were full of cracks, and there were large black water stains everywhere, gloomy and cold water poured in from the gaps, and a layer of shallow water accumulated on the ground, even far beyond the range that the carpet could absorb.

All the furniture, including the bed, was soaked in water, only the top of the bed was barely dry.

Wen Jianyan narrowed her eyes.

It looks like it is very close to what he saw in the Ouroboros before.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the side wall.

The cracks in the wall were like spider webs, spreading out in all directions, one of which was deep. Out of curiosity, or maybe out of a hunch...

Wen Jianyan leaned slightly closer and looked into the crack.

"!"

The next second, his body tensed up suddenly, as if frightened, and he took a big step back.

"What's wrong?" Yun Bilan was startled and hurried forward, "What did you see?"

Wen Jianyan was still staring at the direction of the crack, his face pale in the slightly dim light, he took a few deep breaths and stopped the others from coming forward, and said in a low voice, "...eyes."

"What?" The rest of the people were stunned and took a deep breath.

"There are eyes in the cracks in the wall." Wen Jianyan said calmly. At the moment when he got close, he clearly saw... an eye was peeping in the gap.

After getting a positive answer, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill behind their backs.

There are eyes watching them from behind the cracks in the wall...?

what does that mean?

Right here, suddenly, in the corridor behind, the footsteps that were only echoing in the distance suddenly began to approach, and the silence in the corridor was gradually being broken.

"……Where?"

"...front...faster?"

In the distance, you can vaguely hear some almost crazy ravings.

It seemed that someone in the opposing team should have started using tracking items or talents.

Must act quickly.

Wen Jianyan snapped back to her senses, "Go."

Now is not the time to hesitate at the door, you must hurry into the town and get rid of the chasing soldiers.

Under the leadership of Wen Jianyan, the group walked quickly into the room.

The door to Room 408 closed behind them.

Wen Jianyan didn't stop, and walked straight to the huge picture.

The numbers on the oil painting have disappeared, and the picture is still the decadent hut standing motionless in the rain. However, unlike before, in this painting, countless looming phantoms can also be vaguely seen.

Outside the door, the messy footsteps got closer.

Wen Jianyan took out his pocket watch from his pocket and moved the pointer according to the instructions in the employee handbook——

"Zizzi."

In the corridor outside the door, the lights seemed to flicker twice, then dimmed instantly.

Looking through the gap under the door, only darkness remained.

Obviously, the darkness in this small area has come, and they can enter the town through this door.

Chen Mo stepped forward quickly and groped at the edge of the picture frame. Soon, he pulled it out very skillfully, only to hear a creak, the oil painting frame had become a door, and under the action of his strength, it opened to the side. open inside.

The familiar rainy town appeared in front of everyone.

However, like the hallway, it seems to have gotten darker here.

The rain was heavy and urgent, crackling on the ground, visibility was even lower, and only a vague outline could be seen from the distant houses. And, more importantly...

In that gloomy, dim world, several looming shadows could clearly be seen, standing motionless in the distance, as if waiting for them.

Everyone couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

They didn't expect that the shadows that appeared in the picture... were not a proxy, but would actually appear in the town the next day!

"The rain is heavier," Chen Mo frowned, looking up at the sky, "We won't last for thirty seconds this time."

"It's alright, don't we still have masks and human skins on our bodies?" Zhong Shan's face brightened and he began to fumble around. "With masks, don't we need to go again this time—" He didn't say anything yet. After finishing, his face changed greatly, "Wait a minute, what about the mask?" Everyone was shocked and began to check the objects on their bodies.

The human fur coat is still there, but the mask doesn't know when it started and completely disappeared.

"No, it won't"

Huang Mao's face was green, "Does this mean that if we want to attend the banquet, do we have to go to that street again?"

Yun Bilan didn't look so surprised. She glanced down at the thing in her hand and sneered, "I guessed it."

She knew that this copy would not allow them to achieve their goals so easily. The next day, everyone starts from the same point.

"The good news is that Black Fang should have also lost their masks," Chen Mo said, "but there is also bad news..." He frowned and continued: "Their next destination should also be the mask shop."

That is to say...

They may have to meet again.

In the time period when this kind of dungeon has tended to be alienated, it is really not a good thing to be the enemy of the anchor who may have the talent of "controlling ghosts".

Suddenly, Chen Mo realized that since the door was pushed, Wen Jianyan seemed to have not spoken for a long time. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Wen Jianyan suspiciously: "Captain"

"

Wen Jianyan didn't answer, and stared at the door thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

"team leader"

Chen Mo's voice was slightly louder, "What are you looking at?"

"Don't you think the corridor is a little too quiet?" Wen Jianyan said slowly.

"...!"

Several people were stunned, as if they had reacted, and subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door.

Indeed, the corridor was pitch-dark, and there was no sound at all. Logically, there seemed to be no big problem, but... before they turned the dial, it was obvious that the other anchors were about to chase the door. But why did he suddenly quiet down again and give up the pursuit? Wen Jianyan frowned and seemed to be lost in thought.

Last night, Xingwang Hotel was put out for a whole night. Several of them passed the intern employee assessment and became regular employees and entered the safe "staff dormitory", so they didn't know what happened to Xingwang Hotel and why the first time. It will be like this in two days, and the anchors who are left in the prosperous hotel look terrified and crazy.

Is it...

Is the reason why they have such a change because of "lights out"?

what exactly happened

"Wait for me." Wen Jianyan walked towards the door.

He looked out through the cat's eye on the door. It was pitch black outside the corridor, and nothing could be seen.

Wen Jianyan raised her hand and pressed it on the doorknob, slowly pressing it down.

"team leader!"

It seemed that he realized what Wen Jianyan was going to do, and the nervous voices of others came from behind. "..."

Wen Jianyan paused and seemed to hesitate.

But that's probably the only way to know what really happened last night. Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and carefully pushed the door open.

He peered out.

The hallway was pitch black. However, only in this one corridor.

Another corridor about a dozen meters away is still brightly lit, and has not been affected at all.

It seems that the pocket watch can only affect the brightness of the lights in one corridor, but not the entire hotel. This also means that even if other regular employees adjust the time of the pocket watch, it should not interfere with other regular employees. range of activities.

In the dark corridor, the sound of water droplets became clearer and clearer.

"tick", "tick".

The sound of water echoed in the dead silence.

Wen Jianyan lowered her head and looked towards the ground.

Unconsciously, the water that was originally trapped in the room began to spread into the corridor. Not just this room, but other rooms.

The icy water poured into the dark corridor silently. Under the influence of the distant light, Wen Jianyan could faintly see that there were countless dark human-like shadows moving under the water.

As if feeling his gaze, a shadow slowly turned his head and looked in this direction—

Wen Jianyan took a sharp breath and shrank back suddenly.

He slammed the door shut in front of him.

When Wen Jianyan peeked out, after no one could see the other, the obviously dry bed became gradually wet. The dark wet marks gradually deepened and gradually formed...

shape of a person.

Without warning, Bai Xue's voice sounded from behind, "Come on."

His voice had always been calm, but this time, it had taken on a tinge of urgency after a long time.

Wen Jianyan was startled and turned to look.

I saw that Bai Xue did not know when he started to raise his eyes, and was staring at the direction of the bed, his lips were tightly pursed, and his whole face was very white.

Is it...

As if realizing something, Wen Jianyan's eyes moved down.

On the surface of the water near the bed, a dark reflection appeared looming. It was like a woman with a blurred face in a white dress, sitting up from the bed little by little.

"!!!"

After seeing this scene clearly, Wen Jianyan felt a chill down her spine!

A whole trembling feeling suddenly sprang up.

He suddenly recalled that on the first day before, they entered the first floor of the hotel. In addition to the 408 guest who was actively led out, another taller "guest" left after turning off the lights. Room's!

In other words, this time is exactly their activity time!

There were too few guests before, and this rule was difficult to find, but now it seems...

Everything is revealed.

Then, after the guests check in, the lights out in Xingwang Hotel will be harmless from the beginning, and become more dangerous than he imagined!

And looking at Snow White...

Could it be that, as the employees who pulled the guests into the hotel, they also lost their immunity from being attacked? !

Wen Jianyan made an immediate decision, "Come into the town!"

He strode over, putting on a human leather jacket as he ran.

The others also reacted immediately, and also put on human skins at the fastest speed, and rushed towards the outside of the oil painting.

After all, they are senior anchors, and their reaction and action speed are unmatched by ordinary people. The whole process only takes ten seconds, and everyone has rushed into the rain.

The cold rain slapped on his body, bringing an extraordinarily cold pain that made him almost unable to open his eyes. Losing the restrictions of the mask, the human leather jacket on his body was rapidly activated, exuding an unpleasant rotten stench.

"Quick," Wen Jianyan shouted in the rain.

The group of people rushed forward with all their strength, with only the broken house not far away in their eyes. They are already familiar with the process.

Just get under the roof and the crisis will be lifted!

The distance is gradually getting closer.

Coming!

Wen Jianyan rushed in first, followed by Yun Bilan, Chen Mo, then Zhong Shan, Huang Mao, Bai Xue...

Soon, several people stood in the familiar broken house, panting out of breath. The roof blocked the rain and made a crackling sound.

In this air-leak space on all sides, the rapid breathing of everyone echoed.

"Is everything okay?"

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe the rain off her face. He took off his human leather jacket and threw it aside, looking at the others.

Everyone's faces were pale, and they nodded in shock.

Wen Jianyan let out a long sigh of relief, and the tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. He turned his head and glanced outside the door.

The dark rain was endless.

For some reason, a thought crossed my mind.

The witch candle...

It was normal to disappear in the hotel before, but now they have returned to the town, why haven't they appeared?

Wen Jianyan frowned.

Not because he cares too much.

However, this kind of thing is really rare and unreasonable, so he couldn't help but think for a while. That's all.

He retracted his gaze and looked at everyone: "Let's go, let's go to the back of the house to see."

Their time cannot be wasted.

Several people nodded, followed behind Wen Jianyan, and walked quickly towards the depths of the room.

Since they had already explored it once before, their action this time was fast and pointed directly to the destination.

Soon, they came to the place where the portrait was first discovered. The portrait has been taken away, the walls are empty in the dark,

"I remember that you were planning to eat in the dark here before." Yun Bilan glanced at Zhong Shan and said coolly. "..."

Zhong Shan stroked the back of his head, looking shy and embarrassed: "Isn't this...Isn't this because I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai? I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

While he was explaining embarrassingly, Wen Jianyan had already stepped forward. With the light of the flashlight, he carefully looked at the small piece of wall in front of him. Suddenly, he seemed to have found something. He moved slightly and raised his hand. In the past, I groped for a while on the gray wall. Then, with a "click" sound, a crack opened in the wall.

Several people were startled and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

No, it's not so much a gap... it's a secret door.

Behind the portrait of the woman in white, there is actually a door hidden!

Wen Jianyan stood at the door, holding the half-open secret door with one hand.

Several people in the team hurried forward and looked out over Wen Jianyan's shoulder.

Not far from the door, a dry well stands quietly.

The dry well was crooked and overgrown with weeds. The ropes and wooden shafts above it were rusted, but they were still intact.

"This is..."

Huang Mao whispered.

"right.

Wen Jianyan nodded and narrowed his eyes.

That's right, this is the scene in the corridor, in the portrait pointed by the woman in white.

The dry well hidden behind a barren and dilapidated house.
