Chapter 63

Su Cheng waited anxiously in the corridor.

Not far away, the door of Room 1316 was closed.

The patent leather on the door panel was mottled and peeled off, and the numbers on the brass doorplate stood out in the dark.

It was so quiet.

It was too quiet.

The cold air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the rust-like smell lingered in the nose, bringing a strong sense of uneasiness. The heart pounded in the chest, as if it could smash ribs.

What's going on inside?

Su Cheng didn't know.

He only knew that the moment Wen Jianyan opened the door, his figure was swept away by some invisible force, and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye. Sound and movement are all hidden behind it.

One second before the door closed, the last thing he heard was the sound of flesh being pierced.

Next, he could only fall into a long wait.

Su Cheng stood in the corridor not far away, frowning, upset, turning his head to look at the closed door of 1316 from time to time.

From the beginning until now, nothing happened.

No sound was heard, nor was there any signal, except for the thickening smell of blood in the air, the rest were completely silent.

The young man who was dragged into the room disappeared without a trace.

Is the liar still alive?

have no idea.

Su Cheng still remembered that before entering 1316, Wen Jianyan told him that if he entered for more than five minutes, he didn't need to wait any longer, just leave.

Although he didn't explain the reason clearly, Su Cheng knew that this meant that the other party should have died here.

Su Cheng couldn't help lowering his head again, and glanced at the phone.

Four minutes have passed.

However, there was still a dead silence in 1316, as if a stone was pressing on his chest, which made him almost out of breath.

In the live broadcast hall of [Antai Community], the blood-red 20-minute countdown suspended on the top is beating, and the number on it is steadily decreasing as time goes by.

All the audience looked up from time to time, looking forward to the possible changes in the dungeon after the countdown ended.

Finally, the countdown reached zero.

"Ding!"

At that moment, the mechanical sound of the system sounded in the ears of all the anchors:

"[Antai Community] The dungeon has been alienated successfully! The difficulty has increased! A new team mode will be unlocked soon: non-confrontational faction battle."

"???"

Su Cheng's eyes widened slightly.

Isn't the hunting mission that Granny Wen released to everyone not alienated? How come!

And what the **** is a non-confrontational faction battle!

He's kind of broken.

The other anchors who were still fighting stopped involuntarily.

They were also taken aback.

Wait a minute, does that mean they're just starting faction wars now? ...Then what happened to the scuffle they had just had with the dark fire guild's camp of evil spirit believers?

[The host can spend points to ask for help from designated targets outside the dungeon, and the system will draw a 20% commission]

[Supporters are in the same camp as those who seek help]

[When all the staff are here, an upgraded version of the map will be released, and new identity card content will be issued to all the hosts, and random camp assignment will be made]

[Faction-based victory rules: the first to complete the main mission of the faction is the winner]

[All the winners survive, all the losers are wiped out]

After listening to all the rules, Su Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

Kill everyone? !

This is completely different from the last hunting battle. Under such cruel system rules, fighting with life has become the only option. As long as the faction fails, all the anchors in the faction will be imprisoned...

The winner lives, the loser dies.

Even just listening to it makes one's heart skip a beat.

Su Cheng lowered his head and opened the Nightmare background on his phone.

A new faction selection screen has appeared.

The red square is the camp of Bodhisattvas, and the black square is the camp of evil spirits.

However, this time, the number of people on the red side and the black side is all 0, so the anchor himself cannot actively choose a side, and can only wait for the system to randomly assign them.

"boom-"

There was a faint rumble coming from the depths of the wall, the scarlet lights overhead flickered slightly, and the ground seemed to be shaking invisible.

Su Cheng felt dizzy and had to hold onto the wall to stabilize his figure.

The brief shock disappeared, Su Cheng raised his head, and subconsciously looked in the direction of 1316.

In the next second, he couldn't help but gasp.

The door panel is covered with yellow-backed and red-letter charms, and the cold and thick chains hang on both sides of the door panel, and the lock head is tilted to one side, as if it was pried open by someone.

This is clearly... what the outside world looks like!

However, the light above the head is still a terrible scarlet color, and the walls are still twisted and weird, and it is obviously the appearance of the gossip mirror.

Is this... an upgraded version of the new map?

The world outside the mirror is basically completely controlled by Granny Wen and her paper figurines. They entered the world inside the mirror to escape from the pursuit. If the inside and outside of the mirror really merge into one world, then...

Su Cheng shivered, lowered his head and opened the help interface.

There are two options for asking for help, one is to ask for help from a designated person, and the other is to ask for help from idle anchors indiscriminately. Su Cheng gritted his teeth and issued a detailed request for help.

"Would you like to seek help from the designated target?"

"yes."

The balance of 10,000 points was quickly deducted from his account.

Su Cheng waited anxiously, and soon, the system's cold voice sounded from beside his ears: "Ding! The person who asked for help has accepted your invitation!"

On the side of the open space, a familiar figure appeared out of thin air.

Ji Guan fell on the cold and hard ground with a slightly distorted expression, grinning and scolding: "Grass, it hurts!"

Su Cheng was both surprised and delighted: "You agreed to my invitation!"

Ji Guan patted the dust on his butt, stood up: "Of course! You have asked for help, so you must need my help!"

He didn't join Wen Jianyan and the others this time, mainly because the number of people in a team is limited for different anchor levels. A free D-level anchor without a guild can only form a team of two at most. The same guild can form a team. Forming a three-person team, Su Cheng, as an anchor who is likely to be targeted by the oracle, is too dangerous to make money alone, so this time Ji Guan made money alone, while Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng teamed up to make money.

"I entered a C-level book this time. Compared with the previous Fukang Hospital, the difficulty is not a little bit worse... Anyway, I survived and earned a lot of points. I should be upgraded soon."

Ji Guan sighed, and said naggingly: "I didn't expect to receive your help as soon as I came out. I knew that Wen Jianyan must not be a law-abiding person. He must have changed the difficulty of the dungeon again, right?" ?”

"Speaking of..."

He turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see the familiar figure, so he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression:

"Where's that one?"

Su Cheng pointed to 1316 with the closed door beside him: "Inside."

Ji Guan looked in the direction Su Cheng was pointing at, and after seeing the room covered with spells, he couldn't help but gasped: "Damn it, so fierce?"

He rolled up his sleeves: "That's why you called me here! Is Wen Jianyan in danger? Let's go—"

Su Cheng stopped Ji Guan: "Wait, wait..."

Next, Su Cheng briefly explained what happened before. Although his description was very concise, Ji Guan was still terrified: "Wait, why does your book sound so difficult? What is the level? "

Su Cheng was also taken aback: "Didn't you remind me when you came in?"

Ji Guan looked blank: "...No."

Su Cheng blinked, and slowly spit out two words: "B-"

Ji Guan: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a trance: "... huh?"

What…

which grade? !

At this moment, the mechanical system sound sounded again:

[Ding, the number of people in the dungeon is complete, and the content of the identity card is being distributed...]

[Member camps have been assigned]

Hearing this, Su Cheng lowered his head and opened the background of his Nightmare APP. The moment he saw the faction he was randomly assigned to, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

【Congratulations on entering the red camp】

[The main task has been refreshed: refine the tenth soul-locking altar and completely suppress the evil spirits]

red side? !

That is, Wenpo's camp? What, how could this be? !

Su Cheng opened the system store in a panic, but he couldn't find any items that would allow him to switch camps.

As a supporter, Ji Guan was also assigned to the red camp like him.

Although he hadn't recovered from the explosive news just now, he still noticed the overly serious expression on Su Cheng's face, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Cheng raised his head slowly: "We... were assigned to the red side, not the black side."

Ji Guan didn't know much about the forces in the current dungeon, so he had a dazed expression on his face:

"So what's the matter?"

Su Cheng took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Jianyan's identity card is a believer of evil spirits."

Proper iron-blooded black square! !

*

On the other side, the other anchors in the dungeon cautiously dispersed to prevent getting too close to people who were not from their own camp.

The reminder that the faction battle started sounded in everyone's ears.

They opened the backstage of Nightmare one after another, quickly glanced at their new identity cards, and then finally turned their attention to the number map of the camp.

All the anchors were startled.

【Number of people on the red side: 23】

【Number of black players: 1】

If there is only one person in the evil spirit camp, then their previous guess is completely wrong... that is, there is only one evil spirit believer from beginning to end? !

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Wang Hanyu's expression darkened instantly:

"Fuck, I see what's going on."

He looked at the other red anchors beside him, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "That dark fire anchor has played tricks on all of us!"

[Antai Community] In the live broadcast hall.

"Good guy, this is the first time I've seen a faction with only one person!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, now the other anchors have finally come to their senses, all the members are encircling and suppressing, that's great!"

"But isn't the black anchor finished! Under the current rules, unless he completes black's main mission ahead of schedule, it is absolutely impossible to win, and even if he does complete ahead of schedule, his two teammates will also They will all die here with the red team... This is simply unsolvable."

"Whoa, don't, my dog ​​liar! I'm still counting on waiting to see him form a fraud gang!"

*

While Su Cheng and Ji Guan were exchanging information with each other, there were messy footsteps at the end of the corridor not far away.

…not good!

Su Cheng's heart tightened.

The next second, a gnashed voice came from that direction: "Quick! It's him! He is the only accomplice of that liar!"

Su Cheng opened the backpack reflexively—no, all the concealment robes have been used up!

Immediately afterwards, his whole body was knocked down by an invisible force, and he fell heavily onto the wall. His shoulder blades collided with the hard wall, causing dull and dull pain.

Su Cheng clenched his teeth subconsciously, and a **** smell rose from his mouth.

Although Ji Guan didn't know what happened to them before, he jumped out in a hurry: "Wait, wait! We are also the red team! Aren't we teammates!"

Since there is only one person on the black side, Wen Jianyan, the rest of the anchors should be all on the red side.

They are outnumbered now, it's best to let the other party think they are on the same side...

However, before Ji Guan could say anything more, his body was firmly imprisoned by some kind of invisible rope, he was punched hard in the abdomen, and fell to the ground with a distorted expression.

"Of course I know you are the Red Fang."

Wang Hanyu shook his hands, turned around, and kicked Su Cheng hard in the stomach.

Su Cheng's face wrinkled into a ball in pain, and he curled up like a shrimp.

Seeing this, Wang Hanyu showed a particularly happy smile on his face: "After all, there is only one person in Black, isn't there?"

He raised his foot, and viciously crushed Su Cheng's phalanx with the hard sole, and the phalanx made a rattling sound under the vicious crushing.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Su Cheng screamed, his face pale.

"But, as ex-teammates, you guys must know where that guy is, right?"

Wang Hanyu bent down, grabbed Su Cheng's hair, and forcefully grabbed his upper body: "If you tell me where he is, I'll spare your life, how about it?"

Ji Guan on the side noticed something was wrong.

He covered his stomach and coughed twice, and stopped with some difficulty: "Wait... You guys also know this? This is a non-confrontational faction book. If you want to win, you just need to complete the main mission—"

"Complete the main mission?"

Gao Chengxin on the side suddenly spoke.

He sneered, and under the dark red light, the already fierce eyebrows and eyes looked even more terrifying at this moment: "Of course this is also a way, but under the current situation, it's a bit too far away, isn't it?"

Gao Chengxin stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "Even if it is a non-confrontational faction, it can be solved with the method of confrontational faction - if all the black players are wiped out, the red team can also win."

"After all, Black has only one person now, doesn't he? This is much easier than completing the main mission."

Wang Hanyu raised his hand and slammed the back of Su Cheng's head against the wall:

"Tell me, where is that liar?"

"…have no idea."

Su Cheng gritted his teeth, and his voice was squeezed out with difficulty.

His forehead was already bleeding, and the warm and viscous scarlet liquid slowly dripped down, completely pasting his right eyelashes together: "We separated a long time ago."

"You are loyal."

Wang Hanyu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I've already talked to several other teams. The reason why that guy can turn us around is inseparable from your help."

"They are already C-level anchors, don't you understand? In Nightmare, the quality of loyalty is worthless..."

Wang Hanyu let go of his hand, allowing the opponent's body to fall limply at his feet, he opened the mall, and said condescendingly:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you will tell the truth soon."

An anchor not far away showed a hesitant expression on his face:

"Wait, I don't think he is lying, right? After all, he is also a member of the red team now. If we lose, he will also die..."

"so what?"

Wang Hanyu said: "He will always pay the price for tricking us."

There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in the palm of the other hand. The edge of the dagger was covered with barbs, and it looked extremely sharp.

He weighed the dagger in his hand, then bent down, and pressed the dagger against the other side's face.

The flat skin opened little by little, and scarlet blood seeped out.

Su Cheng raised his eyes, looked at him fixedly, opened and closed his lips, and uttered two short words;

"The tower."

"...What?" Wang Hanyu was taken aback and frowned slightly.

"Upright."

One eye of Su Cheng was smeared with blood, and he said slowly: "Destruction, destruction, and crisis is about to happen, a huge disaster is approaching, irreparable is coming, everything about you will collapse from the depths, disintegrate, you All the bad things you have done will come back to you."

Wang Hanyu: "..."

His expression became a little gloomy.

Su Cheng smiled, showing his blood-stained teeth: "It's just a free divination."

"damn it."

Wang Hanyu's expression was ghastly, he raised his leg suddenly, and aimed at the opponent's stomach again—

"Squeak."

A sharp and piercing hinge friction sounded in the dead corridor, like a harbinger of doom, everyone was startled, subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

The door panel covered with countless charms slid inward silently, revealing a dark interior, like an abyssal mouth slowly opening, waiting for the next sacrifice to appear.

A strong smell of blood diffused out.

There was a particularly ominous atmosphere in the room.

The anchors couldn't help but their hearts skipped a beat, and they instinctively took a step back.

"Guji Guji..."

The strange sound of water resounded in the pitch-black room, as if something slippery and sticky was wriggling and sticking out its tentacles.

The faded wooden door frame was dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a weird texture of soft scarlet, and then the wall—

Like some kind of infectious disease, the flesh-like monster protruded its tentacles from the closed door, nibbling away at wood, stone and steel—

The anchors' pupils constricted.

"This... what is this?!"

"Quick, get ready!"

"Who still has the cover! Quick, exchange it!"

Wang Hanyu's face turned pale, he didn't know if it was because of the "free divination" just now, he felt chills all over his body, as if he was being targeted by something terrifying.

When the others were preparing to fight, he couldn't help taking a few steps back, almost having the desire to turn around and run away.

"Giggle."

"Giggle."

The ear-piercing sound of bone rubbing sounded from the depths of the darkness, several pale arms protruded from the shadows, and the sharp nails sank deep into the wall. The strange sound that was almost joyous echoed in the corridor, almost making people scalp Numb.

"No, there are too many!"

"What's going on! Why are there so many monsters in this 1316?!"

The anchors turned pale with shock. They instantly recognized the gap in strength, and no longer tried to resist, but turned around and ran without hesitation: "Quick! Hurry up!"

"leave here!"

One of the anchors turned his head to look at Su Cheng and Ji Guan who had fallen to the ground, feeling a bit unbearable: "What about the two of them? Do you take them with you?"

"Leave them alone!"

Gao Chengxin's voice was sharp and cold: "There are enough people on the red side, it doesn't matter if two people are missing!"

"Giggle."

"Giggle."

The pale monsters sprang out from the darkness. With the sound of bones twisting and rubbing, they rushed straight towards humans at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

On the wall, the speed of spreading flesh and blood accelerated several times. Under the dark red flickering light, the texture of the wall quickly changed. It was old and dirty, and the wall covered with graffiti and small advertisements was swallowed by scarlet sticky monsters. It's like being stuck in the middle of the esophagus, waiting to be digested.

Everything looks so eerie and terrifying, like a scene that can only appear in the deepest nightmare.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan looked pale.

Although the two of them were blocked and beaten by the group of anchors just now, after all, they haven't had time to be left with any real damage, at least they can still run, but...

This is no longer a question of running or not.

Three monsters surrounded them, the pale faces without facial features slowly approached, and a strong rancid smell came from them.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan looked pale, subconsciously and slowly backed away, until their backs leaned against something soft and sticky, they suddenly realized what was behind them.

Weak screams escaped from their throats at the same time.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !

The three monsters moved forward a few inches again, and slowly stretched out their pale arms towards the two humans, their soft snake-like bodies making gurgling sounds.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan closed their eyes in despair.

"...It's ok."

The youth's familiar voice sounded from afar.

This voice...? !

Su Cheng and Ji Guan opened their eyes in horror, and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

"Giggle."

The pale monsters withdrew their arms obediently, turned around, and chased again in the direction where the anchors disappeared.

In the darkness, a slender young man limped out.

The clothes on his body were in disarray, and the rest of the fabric was basically stained red with blood, revealing the scarred and firm body below, from the right chest to the right shoulder, and then to the entire arm, all were covered by pitch-black spells Covering, white, scarlet, and thick black, three extremely contrasting colors are concentrated on the same body, bringing a strong visual impact.

"you…"

Su Cheng and Ji Guan stared wide-eyed, as if the eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, they almost couldn't believe their own eyes: "You, you..."

"It seems that you have already met my new friend."

Wen Jianyan raised the corners of her pale lips that had lost too much blood, and her amber eyes narrowed slightly:

"How are you doing, are you having a good time?"
