Chapter 378: The Terrifying Livestream Room (33)

Wen Wan arrived at the transit station again, and before she could rest, she was teleported to the next mission location. When she woke up, she smelled a cold fragrance. Wen Wan could not see anything; all she could see was darkness.

"System? Are you there? What's going on?"

Wen Wan called out several times, but there was no response.

Wen Yan: "..."

Could she be that unlucky? According to the system, he would only lose contact when facing the big boss. Could she really have hit the jackpot right from the start?

A hand touched Wen Wan's face.

It's so cold and icy, it doesn't feel like a living person at all.

Is she going to die?

Wen Wan thought desperately, and then tears streamed down her face.

However, the man didn't kill her, but he didn't release her either. Time passed, and Wen Wan's body became extremely stiff.

"Who are you?" Wen Wan asked.

If this continues, I will die; if not killed, I will be scared to death.

Are you going to kill me?

There was no reply from the other person. Wen Wan could feel the other person's cold breathing, but she could not feel the other person's heartbeat.

After a long time, Wen Wan drifted off to sleep. When she woke up again, she found that the person who had been by her side was gone.

He's gone.

[Host, are you alright?]

Wen Wan was almost in tears, "You unreliable person, why did you take so long to come? Did you come here to collect my corpse?"

System: [Host, don't worry, that NPC isn't here. You should run!]

Wen Wan reached up and lifted the colored panel on top, only to find that she was lying in a coffin.

Moreover, the coffin was red, and she was wearing a wedding dress.

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan quickly climbed out and then ran out according to the system's instructions, only to find that it was a huge tomb. Wen Wan was devastated.

"What's going on? Where's the male lead?"

Just then, a troop of soldiers came over. Upon seeing her, they quickly ran towards her, and Wen Wan instinctively ran away.

This was surprisingly an antique world, not a modern building. The long, wide streets were crowded with people, all dressed in ancient costumes.

The system quickly planned a suitable route for its host.

It took a lot of effort to escape the pursuers. Wen Wan watched them run away before crawling out from under the pork stall. "Thank you, big brother."

He smelled strongly of pig.

At this time, the guidance system was launched.

Welcome to the live stream: The Sacrificed Princess...

[Player Identity: Princess.]

Wen Yan: "???"

So she was the unlucky one? Wen Wan quickly stripped off her wedding dress and covered her face.

"Where are the other players?"

[The Imperial Palace.]

Wen Yan: "???"

Wen Wan found a place to sit down and took a sip of water. She looked at the black mark on her wrist, a flame symbol, which she had left after forming an alliance with Gu Li last time. She could even feel Gu Li's aura was far away from her.

Gu Li had already told her to wait for him.

So Wen Wan simply started to give up, found a place to lie down and sunbathe, and then with a snap.

Wen Wan opened her eyes and looked over. A coin was thrown in front of her. "Go buy two steamed buns. This world is too hard."

Wen Yan: "???"

Did they mistake her for a beggar? How could that be? Does she look like a beggar?

Looking at his clothes, he realized they were indeed very dirty, making him look almost like a beggar.

Wen Wan thanked them, then took the money and bought a vegetarian steamed bun, which she devoured in a few bites.

Then he asked for a bowl and placed it in front of him.

Sure enough, Wen Wan quickly begged for a few more coins and then began her performance.

"Dear elders, aunts, young masters, and young ladies, my entire village was killed by bandits, leaving me as the only orphan. I finally made it here, only to be swindled out of all my money. I was also tricked by unscrupulous kidnappers into marrying a wealthy man to bring him good luck. The man died, and his wife wanted to kill me to be buried with him. I escaped, and I haven't eaten for three days. Dear elders, aunts, young masters, young ladies, brothers, and sisters, if you can help me, I will never forget your kindness."

Sure enough, after this tearful outburst, Wen Wan earned enough for a few more meals.

Viewers watching the live stream first saw Chen Yao get a character who was destined to die, but he didn't die. He was chased and almost died several times. Finally, he was safe, but he became a beggar. He actually has a talent for being a beggar.

So, your acting was so bad before because you hadn't found the right roles or scripts for yourself?

"It just so happens that my family is short of a thirteenth concubine. I'll sell you, and you can be my thirteenth concubine, how about that?"

Wen Wan looked at the greasy old man who had suddenly appeared and refused, saying, "I'm sick."

"What illness?"

"Hysteria, I'll go crazy. I even killed someone. Actually, I killed that old man."

"!!!"

The other party quickly ran away, and Wen Wan spat, "As expected, there's no shortage of things anywhere."

[Host, your acting is superb.]

Wen Wan: "Isn't it all your fault? You expect me to be self-reliant, but you run away at the crucial moment, and in the end, I still have to fight for survival."

system:【……】

At that moment, a sudden panic ensued.

"The Ghost King is coming!" Someone shouted this, and good heavens, everyone on the street ran away quickly, all the shops closed, and those who couldn't escape found places to hide.

Wen Wan felt the burning heat of the contract mark on her wrist, and then looked over in a daze.

"Girl, hurry, the Ghost King is coming!"

Who is the Ghost King?

"The Ghost King is an evil spirit in disguise, and he kills people without hesitation."

Wen Yan: "..."

My goodness, the male lead's identity this time is even more special than hers.

Soon Wen Wan saw a troop of soldiers, followed by a black carriage, which then walked up to Wen Wan.

As Wen Wan watched the carriage door open, a figure in black stepped out. Recognizing that familiar face, Wen Wan rushed over. The soldiers tried to stop her, but Gu Li stopped them.

Gu Li watched as Wen Wan ran up to him and threw herself into his arms.

She cried with extreme grievance.

"Why did you take so long to get here? I almost died! Didn't you say you'd stay with me forever? You big liar!"

Gu Li gently stroked Wen Wan's hair and wiped the dirt off her face. "Sorry, there was a little accident."

All the NPCs were watching this scene.

Wen Wan could even hear countless gasps. Finally, Wen Wan was put into a carriage, and then the carriage went back.

The people then came out and began to discuss what they had just witnessed.

"What is your identity? I heard them call you something like Ghost King, are you even human?"

"The Ghost King was born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour. His mother died when he was born, and his father died in battle when he was three years old. His whole family was slaughtered by the emperor, but he escaped."

"After that, he lay low, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Later, he entered the palace and gradually became a powerful minister, controlling the entire court and becoming the Ghost King."

Wen Yan: "???"

"So, my identity is that of a princess, therefore I am the daughter of your father's killer?"

Gu Li nodded.

Wen Yan: "..."

"What about the other players? Is this world dangerous?"

“Each player has their own identity and a storyline to solve. These storylines may overlap or they may not, so we don’t need to meet other players.”
