Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 25

In the darkness behind him, the stiff footsteps that had always followed him suddenly stopped, then turned around and walked towards the area away from them.

...?!

Hearing the sound of the footsteps gradually receding, Zhang Yuyou, who was ready for the next round of attack, was startled.

Looks like it was a success.

Tangerine Candy on the side stared at the darkness and said suddenly.

Only after finding the goods that are being sold in the store on the fourth floor, the customers will abandon their fixed targets and walk towards the incense burner.

What about us now? Go back?

Acropolis asked.

Dang. Tangerine nodded: Let's go around in a different direction.

The person deliberately circled the store, distanced himself from the footsteps of the customer, so as not to attract its attention again, and walked towards the counter.

remember url

In the distance, the dim yellow oil lamp was shining brightly, like the only beacon in the boundless, deep-sea-like darkness.

Several people quickened their pace, rushed into the light, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tangerine Candy raised his eyes, swept around behind the counter, and frowned:

What about people?

Although her words did not refer to anyone, everyone present knew who the person mentioned in Tangerine Candy's words was.

Qi Qian lowered his face and shook his head.

Too right.

You must know that the location of the incense burner is not far from the counter, and the round-trip time between the two places will be shorter, but in the current situation, the distance from the counter is the farthest, and even in order to avoid customers, a large circle of oranges is deliberately circled. Tang and the others came back, but Wen Jianyan was still nowhere to be seen.

at the same time--

Da da da.

The stiff footsteps of the customer were slowly approaching. Judging solely by the distance of the sound, it seemed that the incense burner would soon be reached.

Everyone's nerves were tense.

Wait. Qi Qian stared deeply at the darkness in the distance, If she doesn't appear within a minute, activate the props.

The nursery rhyme on the side nodded.

The person who activated the props forcibly pulled it back, and their last choice could be used until the last resort. After all, no one knows what Wen Jianyan is doing now. If their trade actions interfere with what he is doing now, then , it is possible to give up all the previous efforts, and all the staff are exhausted.

Everyone held their breaths slightly, and their hearts lifted up freely, staring at the darkness in front of them, counting silently in their hearts one by one, waiting.

After Wen Jianyan dripped blood into the incense burner, he quickly realized how dangerous his current situation was.

The cyan-colored, wisps of smoke filled with a thick bloody smell floated up like an invisible bond, and he was tightly connected to the incense burner in front of him.

Doing this is tantamount to making oneself a sacrifice, a blood food for customers.

In the distance, in the darkness where the candlestick light was not illuminated, the footsteps that had been following the red light suddenly stopped and turned.

Even if he needed to listen carefully, Wen Jianyan knew that it was definitely coming in his own direction.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, he took a deep breath and suppressed the desire to turn around and run away.

Under such circumstances, Wen Jianyan would have some realistic fluke, thinking that as long as he stayed away from the area, the customers would eat him, and in this case, such a situation would definitely occur.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

First of all, there should be no doubt that people are commodities on the fourth floor.

In the front layer, the customer already has a complete body, and in the fourth layer, it enters the next stage...and eats.

On each floor, broadcast what needs to be received

The number of customers will increase. At the fourth floor, if you want to continue to go up, you must receive four customers.

But, if every time they receive one, they will sacrifice a life, and if they want to enter the fifth floor, they need to kill four people!

If this is the case, then the fourth floor is definitely a dead end.

They have enough numbers now, because they have two teams, but, for other teams, if four more people die, it will be almost the same as team destruction.

It is too simple and rude, it only violates the rules of Nightmare, and it also has a strong conflict with the rigorous structure of [Prosperity Building] that first appeared.

In addition, before Wu Zhu sent him back to the first floor and let him go upstairs in another way, his body also represented that the fourth floor was not a dead end without a solution, but a normal solution.

Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes, her hands hanging by her side clenched into fists, and her palms were full of smooth cold sweat.

In the dimly lit candlelight, his lips were tightly pursed. The bruises on his lower lip had not yet dissipated, and now they were stained with the bright blood that had just oozing from his fingertips. Against the pale face, the red It looked very startling.

Think, think!

[Prosperity Building] Rare, with ruthless laws as the structure, there is no NPC, no written records, and no clear clues, but it is self-contained in another, more bizarre way, like a precision machine Like a running machine, every phenomenon has its explanation, and every clue has its role.

... there must be some details that I overlooked.

In the darkness in the distance, the sound of footsteps approached, hitting the ground one after another, like the death knell of death.

Wen Jianyan heard her heart beating wildly, her blood pressure soaring, and her whole body's muscles subconsciously tensed.

His eyes dropped, suddenly falling on the sacrifice in front of him.

...

Wen Jianyan was startled.

If it is said that human life is actually a sacrifice, then the cakes, fruits, etc. on the plates actually have no meaning at all, right?

All it takes is blood to drop into the incense burner, and that's enough to complete the ritual.

but……

On the contrary, in front of all the spiritual places - whether in front of the tomb or in the courtyard - there were traditional sacrifices that seemed useless in the subordinates, and were in a state of decay.

Absolute coincidence.

That is to say...

These ordinary offerings may also be offered as part of the ritual.

Wen Jianyan leaned down and looked closely at the sacrifice in front of him—

Because the light made by the candles was too dim, he didn't realize until now that there seemed to be a faint layer of green smoke hanging on top of the offering, and the smoke was floating like a burning incense stick. , wrapped around it silently.

With the clear bond on Wen Jianyan's body, the smoke on the sacrifice looked like an unconscious coincidence.

But Wen Jianyan knew that things were going to be the same.

It also proved his guess. If only some sacrifices were used without human life, the process of worship would not be completed, but without it, it would lead to a near-death situation.

In an instant, like a ray of light flashed across his mind, Wen Jianyan was stunned, as if he suddenly realized something.

He raised his hand, the fingers on his hand hung over one of the surface points, and the fingertips squeezed slightly——

The unhealed wound split open in an instant, and the bright red blood dripped down with a click and landed on one of the snow-white cakes.

That drop of blood was sucked up in an instant.

Almost immediately, the hazy, indiscriminate layer of blue smoke that shrouded the offerings indiscriminately condensed into a thin line, and the incense burner was tightly connected to the plate of cakes dripping with blood.

The passage of time is slow, and every second seems to be stretched into a whole century, and it is so fast that in the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed.

most left

After two seconds.

Everyone stared at the darkness in the distance, the air was dead silent, only the heavy and stiff footsteps could be heard approaching step by step, the atmosphere was heavy and condensed, and breathing seemed to become difficult.

Da da da.

Judging from the sound, the customer should have stopped before the place where the incense burner was placed.

However, at this moment, there are the last seconds left in the one minute.

Everyone's heart sank.

At this time, Wen Jianyan has not returned to the team successfully, so...the probability of his death is too great to imagine.

Wait, Qi Qian gritted his teeth and looked at the nursery rhyme: Now—

Before the last word could be said, only a rush of footsteps could be heard in the darkness in front of them, like a rabbit with a burnt tail, almost in the blink of an eye, before they could almost react, the silver-haired girl with the candlestick was stunned. He has already rushed to the front and slammed straight in!

She has come back!

is back alive!

The moment they saw Wen Jianyan's figure, everyone's spirits were lifted and their eyes lit up.

However, at the same time he rushed into everyone's sight, suddenly, the footsteps of the customer stopped without warning.

In the next second, Wen Jianyan fell straight down like a puppet with a broken string.

!!!

So people were startled, and Lu showed a shocked expression.

An Xin, who was the closest, stepped forward, and before Wen Jianyan fell to the ground, he dragged Wen Jianyan's weakened body - and nearly fell into a somersault.

When he came to care about the other person's weight, he shook Wen Jianyan's icy body in shock:

Wenwen, Wenwen! How are you?

As soon as the other party moved, he lay face down, his slender limbs drooping limply, looking like he was dead.

until it was turned over.

The girl's face turned pale, her silver-white hair was soft and thick, hanging down like flowing water, her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes were drooping, making her whole person look fragile and pitiful. .

An Xin put his fingers under his nose and probed carefully.

The thin, weak breath landed on his fingertips, and An Xin was relieved for a long time...

Fortunately, not dead.

Wen Jianyan could clearly feel that the process of drawing out his life force from his body was very fast and very cold. Then, his knees softened and he fell down.

Before touching the ground, his eyes darkened and he fell into a brief coma.

...Wen Wen, Wen Wen!

How are you!

An Xin's voice seemed to come from far away, and the anxious expression in it was fake.

...

Wen Jianyan frowned, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

He saw his body covered in appearance lying in An Xinhuai, his face was pale and his eyes were closed, it was no different from death.

?

This angle of view is a bit strange, causing Wen Jianyan to be stunned for two seconds, and for a moment he knows exactly where he is now.

Until something spread out from the darkness, wrapped around his limbs, and slowly tightened.

A pale and cold hand held Wen Jianyan's waist, and the cold chest pressed against her back.

a feeling...

Why so familiar.

Wen Jianyan turned her head slightly and looked around.

The man who should exist here, but at this moment, appeared behind him, very clear and without falsification.

Wen Jianyan: ......

Oh yes, he's in a coma now.

Wu Zhu received a lot of restrictions in the deputy room, and he almost did not invade in a normal way, but he could enter his dreamland - just like when he was in the building before,

It was like when he was dazed by Mu Sen.

Although Wu Zhu didn't mention it, Wen Jianyan guessed that it might be an additional effect of the brand on his body.

The other party appeared from the darkness behind Wen Jianyan, looked over his shoulder, and looked into the distance - his eyes fell on Wen Jianyan, who was unconscious, and An Xin, who was holding him.

Under the dim light, the handsome young man was holding the beautiful and fragile girl in his arms, and his anxious expression was beyond words. In such a critical situation, the two were leaning against each other and looked extraordinarily intimate.

Those golden eyes flashed a dull look.

...

Knowing why, Wen Jianyan had an auspicious premonition behind her.

behind the counter.

What's wrong with her? Orange Candy frowned and asked.

An Xin shook his head: I know.

He embraced the other's slender shoulders, touched Wen Jianyan's cheek with his fingers, and said with a worried look:

It's so cold.

Wu Zhu's arm suddenly closed.

?!

Wen Jianyan's waist tightened, and she subconsciously took a breath.

The next second, the man behind him leaned down, his icy hair dangled down, and slid into his neck like a snake, causing an unbearable itching, Wen Jianyan shrank his neck, and then, in a low voice. , I heard a voice of emotion ringing in my ears:

Who is he?

Wen Jianyan: ...

Qi Qian squatted down, checked Wen Jianyan's pulse and pupils briefly, and said:

There is no danger to life for now.

Su Cheng also squatted down, grabbed the opponent's wrist, observed it carefully, shook his head and said, There is no trace of decay on his body.

Tangerine Candy frowned: Then why is she still awake?

Yes, Qi Qian frowned and said, but the customer has not left yet. The information she has learned is very important to us, and we must wake her up quickly.

Zhang Yu nodded solemnly: Okay, I'll find the system store and see if there are any props that can speed up the process.

it is good.

The nursery rhyme on the side suggested:

To increase the success rate, do you want to try artificial respiration?

Wen Jianyan, who was standing aside: ...

Wu Zhu turned his head slightly and stared at the stiff profile of the young man in his arms. There was no emotional fluctuation in his deep voice, and he repeated as if he was simply suspicious:

Artificial respiration?

Wen Jianyan: ...

Oh shit.

What to do now, it might come later.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Wen Jianyan's face was blank, a hand was freed from the other's embrace, turned around, and caught Wu Zhu's jaw. In front of him, he kissed the other person's cold and tightly closed lips and made a boo sound.

...

Next, it was Wu Zhu's turn to be stunned.

He blinked and paused expressionlessly, as if he didn't react.

But in the next second, a familiar flame burst into those golden eyes.

In this regard, Wen Jianyan has seen it, and only once.

No matter the serious perverts in the Ping An Sanatorium, they are still in the paper sedan chair in the building. The eyes of the witch candle have exactly the same flame, full of desire, greed, and thirst, as if they want everything to burn out. The color of the abyss burned silently.

Guo, the next second, the arms around his waist tightened suddenly, and Wu Zhu's face came closer.

Like kissing, more like hunting.

Wen Jianyan precisely covered the other's lower face with her backhand.

Since it has been done once in the sedan chair before, his movements are skilled, just like flowing clouds and water, without the slightest pause and harmony.

Hysteresis.

?

Wu Zhu let Wen Jianyan cover his mouth and stared at him silently, with a look that was almost suspicious in the depths of those alien eyes.

seems to understand...

Why is it that the other party started it, but now he has let himself continue.

Do you want to know?

Wen Jianyan leaned closer, raised the corners of her mouth, revealed a faintly gentle smile, and said with a smile, Just artificial respiration.

He leaned closer again, stared at the pair of deep golden eyes of the other party, the end of his voice rose slightly, his tone was full of frivolous teasing, and it seemed to be implicitly provocative:

I'm going to wake up again, and I'm afraid they'll either do it.

The silver-haired youth stuck out the tip of his scarlet tongue and licked the back of his hand, which was in front of the other's lips, slowly and emotionally. pick:

Would you like to see it?
