Chapter 017 Chapter 17
The faceless boy smiled at reporter Jin, who took two steps forward with a small ball in his hand: "Come and play with the ball."
A cautious yet bold attitude is like approaching a well-fed tiger.
But she was wrong. The monster before her was far more dangerous than a tiger.
The faceless boy smiled and approached reporter Jin. He did not stop until his face was almost touching. Just when reporter Jin thought his method had worked, the faceless boy suddenly let out a sharp howl and almost shouted, "Hide and seek!! We are playing hide and seek!!"
Reporter Jin was horrified. When she wanted to run, it was too late. The faceless boy had already slapped her in the face.
Bai Manman, who was standing next to him, was startled and turned and ran away, leaving reporter Jin behind.
It's not that she is too ruthless. This was already agreed upon beforehand. If reporter Jin was unfortunately caught, or if he touched the bottom line of the weird little girl and something happened, Bai Manman could not think about saving her, but had to leave here quickly. It is better to have one more person survive than to have the whole army wiped out.
However, this time reporter Jin miscalculated one thing. The condition for the nightmare to be triggered is when one is alone facing the weirdness.
The faceless boy's palm was weak and powerless, and it felt limp when it hit reporter Jin's face. Just as reporter Jin's expression changed from horror to "that's it", she found that the environment around her had changed.
It was no longer a green forest, but a dark abandoned classroom.
Tick-tick-tick-
A sound like dripping water echoed in my ears.
Reporter Jin immediately remembered where this place was. Her expression became terrified and she turned and ran.
The most unique thing about dreams is that even if the scene changes without warning and what happens is out of order, people are asleep and their logical analysis ability is not online, so they will not realize how unreasonable it all is and will not find themselves in a dream.
Just like reporter Jin now, she didn't think about why she came here, but she remembered where this place was.
This abandoned school was once one of the places she explored.
Many schools have legends of one kind or another, but the abandoned old site of Yuelong School has a real but terrifying background. It was built on a mass grave and had been the site of more than one suicide, and after that, strange things always happened in the school. True and false news mixed together and became even more terrifying and bizarre after being passed on by word of mouth.
Later, Yuelong School moved to a new address and the old building was abandoned, becoming a place where many people live-streamed their adventures. Those who went on the adventure claimed to have encountered supernatural events.
In order to find out the truth of these legends, reporter Jin took his assistant to investigate the scene and specially chose the evening when night was about to fall. Then she saw a corpse hanging there with blood dripping down.
I didn't encounter any so-called supernatural events, but I ran into a cruel wanted criminal hiding there. A battle royale broke out between us on the spot and I almost died there.
Her assistant at the time was not as lucky as her, and his life stopped there forever.
From then on, I never went to such a place again. That abandoned school also became reporter Jin's eternal nightmare.
She even had to stop working as a journalist for a year before she was able to continue.
The place that took her years to forget reappeared again.
However, there was no assistant here, only her. No, reporter Jin heard the sound of metal scratching on the ground.
The cruel wanted criminal with an axe is here too!
Reporter Kim shuddered with fear at the thought of the man chopping her assistant in half with an axe.
She wants to leave here. Although she couldn't remember how she got in, she had to leave here!
Then when going downstairs, reporter Jin saw the man walking upstairs with a bloody axe in his hand.
In the real world, the audience watching the live broadcast only saw that the faceless boy patted reporter Jin on the head, and then reporter Jin's eyes suddenly became straight and he didn't move. Then, as if he had seen some horrifying scene, he knelt down tremblingly, and curled up on the ground, shaking continuously.
[What's going on?] 】
[This female reporter is probably the bravest one here. Why is she so scared? 】
[She looks like she's hallucinating.] 】
Or there is a way of saying it, being possessed by a ghost. 】
Is this the punishment for breaking the rules? When playing hide-and-seek, can’t we play with the ball? 】
[I don't know, I just want to know, will she always be like this? Will I be able to participate in the subsequent hide-and-seek game? 】
[Oh my god, is this considered permanent elimination?] 】
[Will you be scared to death?] 】
[Even a reporter with such courage could be scared like this. What did she see? 】
[What you see varies from person to person. As for nightmares and hallucinations, isn't it true that the more you fear something, the more you see it? 】
[Well, for example, I am afraid of cockroaches. If the hallucination is that I live in a house full of cockroaches, I will probably want to die. 】
[The above poster said that most people would want to die if they encountered such a situation. It is not something that ordinary people can bear. 】
[By the way, how is the rescue team doing? Is there still no news? 】
[No, we are still out of contact. It may be related to the weird little girl. If they don’t finish this game, I’m afraid the rescue team will always be lost in the gray fog. 】
[It’s so weird and scary, I don’t want to encounter it in my life. 】
[Didn’t they say that the weirdness would revive? If that’s true, we’ll encounter it sooner or later. It’s better to make some notes now and see how to survive when we encounter weirdness. 】
[It seems that it is easy to survive now. The weird big brother didn’t take many people away last time. 】
[That was seen during the live broadcast. If you didn’t see it, who knows if anyone was turned into a paper doll and taken away? Don’t be so naive. 】
[Another one has been caught. I'm afraid we'll lose this game again. 】
Just as guessed in the live broadcast comments, Bai Manman and others lost again.
But this time they held on for nine minutes and were just that close to victory.
It's a pity that his luck was not good. When he caught the second to last person, the only hope, Black Vest No. 1, was too close to the Faceless Child. Even if he received a warning from his companions in time and ran away quickly, it was too late.
"We're just one step away. We'll definitely win next time." When a few people gathered together, Bai Manman encouraged others.
"What's the point of winning? Look at what she's like!" Qi Liuhai was the most emotionally broken-down one. She pointed at reporter Jin, who was trembling and sitting under a tree with her eyes wide open and a terrified expression, supported by Bai Manman. "How can she still play like this? It's going to be even harder for us if we lose one person!"
Bai Manman pursed her lips and her mood became depressed.
"Try again," the bearded man said. "We didn't have a choice."
"I'm tired of it." The faceless boy floated over, "Play again, and I'll leave."
Qi Liuhai was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy gradually appeared on his face: "So as long as we play hide-and-seek with you again, you will let us go?"
She didn't ask the Faceless Boy to lead them out of the mountains. As long as the weird little girl stopped tormenting them, anything would be fine.
"Let you go?" The Faceless Boy tilted his head in confusion, "I don't want to hurt you."
"I just want you to play with me." The faceless boy smiled, "But you broke the rules of the game, you will be punished. After winning the game, I have to choose what I want."
Breaking the rules?
Bai Manman was stunned and subconsciously looked at reporter Jin under the tree.
"Ding! The degree of fusion increases, unlocking the third ability - virtuality and reality."
"Reality and illusion - is everything you see real? Are you sure? We build illusions, reality and illusion, truth and falsehood. No matter what, when you believe, everything will become true."
"Unlock all the skills of the Faceless Child and activate the second state of the Faceless Child - Strange Transformation."
The sky darkened and a gray mist obscured the sky. The skin color of the strange little girl changed from blue to gray. Her bright red skirt was dripping with blood, which gathered into lines and then flowed into a river. The mountain was soon submerged in bright red, and the red blood even spread to where several people were standing.
Qi Liuhai jumped up and screamed. She wanted to wipe the blood stains on her shoes, but it seemed that the blood stains were stained on her shoes and could not be wiped off no matter how hard she tried.
The faceless boy said: "We need to play the last game seriously~~"
Qi Liu Hai shook his head desperately: "We can't win at all if you keep doing this!!"
Besides, the other party gets to choose what they want, so does she have to give him her head if she chooses it?
No-Face Child: "Then shorten it to five minutes?"
She wanted to cut her bangs into three minutes, or even shorter, but when she saw the faceless boy's uncurled mouth, she kept silent.
The bearded man asked, "You said you get to choose your own spoils after you win. Can you tell us what you want?"
"I want a face." The faceless boy opened his mouth, "two eyeballs, two ears, a nose, a tongue, and lips."
The group of people looked grim. Although they wouldn't die if they took these things away, they would be disabled.
This is not an injury that can be healed by just resting.
The next game must be won.
Even though their teammate is already missing a reporter named Jin.
