Chapter 45 NPCs Kill All Players (7)

Arriving on the third floor, this is Frankenstein's territory.

Frankenstein's monster is very powerful, but he is deaf and blind. As long as you don't make a big commotion, you can just quietly pass by him.

For the average player, they would definitely try to survive by hiding, and would rather crawl on the ground than get through the game.

Avoiding Frankenstein's heat-sensing system and nose is still quite effective.

The light bulb above his head flickered, and the Frankenstein monster stood with his back to the wall, his terrifying head looking like it was infested with worms.

He Xin and Gu Han, along with Gao Li, were trying to sneak past by hugging the wall, but unexpectedly, Qiao An and Q walked right past the mad scientist in broad daylight!

"You haven't agreed to this yet. You make money easily, and then you come with me to have dinner..."

After saying that, Q lit a torch and threw it out. Logically, the Frankenstein monster, who had caught the heat source, would immediately rush out following the light. At that moment, you could just find the right opportunity to shoot him in the head.

"Ta-da!"

The torch made a loud noise when it hit the ground.

Q looked at Joan, took out his gun, and fired a shot without turning around.

He's used this trick all too well.

But this time, the expected screams did not occur.

"Um?"

Q turned around and saw that, in the corner illuminated by the flashlight on the ground, there was no corpse of Frankenstein as he had hoped.

Joan looked over as well.

She hadn't paid any attention to Frankenstein's monster, so she hadn't noticed what was happening here.

"Ah—!!! Ah—Help me!! Help me!!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

Everyone turned around sharply, but all they saw was a mechanical tentacle quickly retracting, and Gao Li disappeared along with it.

The camera fell to the ground, its lens pointed at the ceiling.

[Aaaaaaah!! Holy crap holy crap holy crap!! Frankenstein's monster is on the wall!!]

What's going on? What happened?

[That bastard is dead! I just saw it. He got his head blown off by Frankenstein's monster. How awful!]

[Isn't Frankenstein's monster blind? How did it just manage to shoot him in the head so precisely?!]

[Mom, I'm scared. Is this still the Frankenstein monster I used to know so well?]

Just as bewildered as the viewers in the live chat were the remaining four people.

Q frowned and looked over. Blood kept dripping down from the ceiling. When he looked up, Frankenstein's monster was gone, and only Gao Li, wrapped in spider webs, remained.

His eyes were wide open, and his death was quite gruesome.

He Xin picked up the live-streaming equipment with trembling hands and moved closer to Gu Han.

"What's going on? We activated our heat shields before we came, so how could the mad scientist detect high-powered objects?"

No one has yet realized what has happened.

Suddenly, the wall behind him made a cracking sound. Q stood in front, observing the situation on both sides, his smile still unchanged.

"Great, it seems the NPC skills have been updated."

After saying that, he pulled out his gun, aimed at the wall in front of him, and fired several shots, knocking the wall down.

The sound of wind whistling came from inside the dark walls.

Q was staring into the wall when he suddenly heard Joan's voice behind him.

Be careful!

Q reacted quickly and turned around abruptly, just in time to see more than a dozen mechanical tentacles rushing towards him!

In this situation, Q could only roll around on the ground once, then quickly pulled out his gun and fired a few shots at the Frankenstein monster in front of him.

Two tentacles fell off.

The figure of the mad scientist suddenly disappeared, and the corridor returned to deathly silence. Gu Han and He Xin dared not even breathe.

What exactly is going on?

How can there be such a powerful monster in the first level?!

Q was panting heavily, but was still laughing.

"Looks like the visuals have been restored. The game developers are up to something, making the first level as difficult as the ninth."

"So what do we do now?"

Q didn't care at all about He Xin's concerns.

"What are you afraid of? Keep going."

My friend is dead.

"That's just his bad luck; he ran into a new monster as soon as it spawned."

He Xin was a little annoyed by his nonchalant remarks.

After all, she spent money, and a lot of it!

As a result, one of the team members died in the first round, but Joan, who had taken her money, didn't react at all, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Gu Han pulled He Xin back.

"It's alright, he's just a mad scientist. If we stay close to them, nothing will happen."

Even if He Xin was unhappy, he couldn't lose his temper at the first hurdle since he had already spent the money.

"Keep going, you two stay close to me."

Qiao An finally spoke.

You can basically skip the fourth floor, because the doctor on the fourth floor won't come out until the time is up.

The group continued walking up to the fifth floor.

There seemed to be a strange noise behind me.

He Xin asked worriedly.

Is Frankenstein's monster still following us?

Qiao An simply replied coolly.

"Monsters can only stay on specific floors; they can't follow us."

"You play games, don't you even have this much common sense?"

He Xin choked again.

She couldn't hold back this time.

"You have common sense, how could you let Frankenstein's monster kill my friend?"

Although it's just a game, dying frequently in the first level will cause irreversible damage to your real body.

He Xin's complaints made Qiao An frown slightly.

"I am only responsible for protecting you; the lives of the others are none of my concern."

All you need to do from now on is listen to me.

"Hey, what are you doing...?"

Isn't the one who pays the most important?

Why does it seem like Qiao An is the boss?

Q glanced at Gu Han.

"Keep an eye on your little girlfriend. If you talk too much, those idiot nurses might overhear you."

They arrived at the fifth floor.

This is the territory of the terrifying nurse.

Because of the height of the building, the burned area was larger, and the place reeked of charred and rotten smells.

Q walked ahead with his hands behind his back and suddenly said something else.

Do you remember where we first met?

Joan ignored him.

"I remember, right here, you were playing with me, and I was playing with you too. We made a bet on who could beat the nurse to death with their bare hands first, and you won."

"I don't remember."

"How about we make another bet? We'll use a knife, a blunt knife, and see who can kill the nurse's health bar first. If you win, I'll play with you for free next time."

"If I win, you have to have dinner with me tonight."

"boring."

Q laughed without restraint.

"Isn't it fun to hear the nurse scream? Didn't you like it before? Is this all the fun is in the first level? Since you're already here, why not experience it a little more?"

Joan looked at him and finally said something.

"Okay, but if you lose, don't bother me anymore."

"I was thinking of letting the water flow, but after hearing what you said, I'll have to be more careful."

After saying that, the two of them switched to the most basic weapon: blunt knives.

This kind of knife hurts a lot when it cuts you. The wound doesn't bleed immediately, but the skin and flesh will tear open, and blood will gush out, which is very visually stimulating.
