Welcome to the Nightmare Live Chapter 218

Chapter 218

"... Zizi..."

The TV screen is full of slowly rising snowflakes, as if the signal is affected, there are black and white bars that are not aligned up and down, and the picture skips frames from time to time.

However, the actions of the female corpse were not affected in the slightest.

It stood up from the dressing table, turned its back to the screen, took stiff steps, stepped backward step by step, and gradually approached the screen.

It's like something out of some old horror movie.

"Since it wants to come out, let it come out."

An Xin stared at the TV closest to him, and said in a low voice, "This is the same thing as the one locked in the warehouse downstairs, and it's not like we haven't dealt with it before!"

Although these pictures look terrifying, according to the experience on the first floor, if these corpses want to attack humans, they must get closer to a closer distance, which is also physical contact.

Compared with the cursed radio that just heard it, this kind of physical corpse is actually easier to deal with.

Qi Qian didn't answer, his eyes flickered slightly.

In a sense, what An Xin said was indeed correct.

Although the female corpse in the TV appeared, it did not cause any damage to them for the time being. In other words, only after entering the real world, it has the ability to harm.

The same holds true in reverse.

Only when it leaves the TV, the anchors can touch it, and the props in their hands can work.

Moreover, if it is really the female corpse in the bronze mirror just now, it also means that the extra ghost coins should be on it now.

This is different from giving them a second chance.

but…

The thought of counting quickly turned around in his mind, Qi Qian glanced across the entire shop, and finally gritted his teeth: "No, let it come out first."

"Why?" An Xin was puzzled.

Qi Qian pointed to several TVs in his eyes: "This time there is more than one TV."

An Xin was startled, and looked up.

In the huge shop, four full screens were lit up, and in the pictures covered with snowflakes, they were all identical red-clothed female corpses, walking slowly with their backs facing them, their movements stiff and synchronized, from far to near, from far to near, from far to near. So small, in just a few tens of seconds, his stature has doubled.

An Xin seemed to realize something instantly: "Captain, what do you mean..."

"If a corpse walks out of every screen, we can't handle it." Qi Qian said.

When his voice fell, his heart trembled.

really.

It is very difficult for them to confirm now, once the female corpse in the TV retreats to the distance that can leave the TV, will it be one female corpse or four in total that will appear in their eyes.

If you are...

They will face unprecedented dangers.

Judging from the situation on the previous floor, the corpses in this dungeon, even if they have offensive abilities, cannot "kill" them. At that time, they will face four terrifying female corpses that cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, the most conservative approach is to prevent them from leaving the TV.

"The old way is to clear the shelves first." Qi Qian said.

If only the TV with the picture on it is removed, the store will continue to replenish the same location. The only restraint is to remove all the shelves.

Although this is a temporary solution but not the root cause, it can directly reduce the passage of the female corpse into reality, and it is an effective way to suppress the curse.

"Let's split up." Qi Qian said, "An Xin, you and I will clear the shelves, Wen Wen and prophecy, the two of you continue to search for the source."

This is almost the law just now.

Props, Qi Qian and An Xin work together to clear the shelves as quickly as possible, while Wen Wen and Prophecy have low force values, but they are good at finding things.

This model has proven to be effective.

"Okay." The crowd nodded and dispersed.

Su Cheng looked at Wen Jianyan and said,

"Should we activate [Guiding Hand] again?"

Wen Jianyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head: "No."

They have already consumed two Guiding Hands. This item has a limit in each dungeon. The waste of three Guiding Hands is already unbearable for them.

more importantly…

Even if the third guiding hand is really activated, it is still unknown whether it will work.

When they are on the first floor, the turnover required to rise to the second floor is a ghost coin. He is now on the second floor. Based on this, he can infer that if he wants to rise to the third floor, he should need two ghost coins.

It is also equal to two customers, two attacks, two cursed things from the source,

Then, plus the hidden props in the warehouse, there are three hidden props in the whole floor.

One of the tape recorders had already been taken by Wen Jianyan, so there were still two left.

The probability of activating the guiding hand and pointing to the correct item is only 50%.

And Wen Jianyan is self-aware of his luck.

Lady Luck is rarely on his side, so he won't waste the amount of the third guiding hand on this possibility.

"Try a stupid way." Wen Jianyan's mind turned around quickly, looking at Su Cheng: "Touch them one by one."

As long as it is a hidden prop, when it is touched by the anchor's hand, a system prompt will sound in the ear,

Through this, they were able to locate the true source of the curse.

It seems simple and rude, but it is actually the formula with the lowest error rate.

A TV is no different than a radio. It is an old-fashioned electrical appliance from the last century. It is too bulky. Although it also occupies half of the store's shelves, the number is much smaller than that of the radio. There are only a dozen or so on the first floor. It is not necessary to "touch" it all the way. How long does it take, plus they have noticed the footsteps of "customers" first, so the parts that are too close and too close do not need to be considered.

Su Cheng lifted his spirits and nodded: "Okay!"

You know, in the dungeon of [Changsheng Mansion], it is actually the most difficult to "find out" the rules.

In the last attack, Wen Jianyan risked his life to figure out that the "source of the curse" was a hidden item. Knowing this, they could avoid detours in the second attack they encountered .

Theoretically speaking, within the same floor, the rules will not change.

They acted separately, quickly and methodically.

In the live broadcast hall of [Changsheng Mansion], the dark fire guild team has already won a group of supporters through their outstanding performance.

"It is worthy of being a senior anchor of an old guild. Both thinking ability and reaction ability are very strong, and the handling method is like a textbook."

"Yes, there is also the new number 34, Wen Jianyan, right? There are indeed two brushes. I was really surprised by the radio wave just now. No wonder Xin can climb so fast."

"Qi Qian's side is in charge of winning while maintaining stability, and Wen Jianyan's side is in charge of winning by surprise. The cooperation between the two sides is really strong, but any other team book, I guess they can really beat them. It's a pity..."

"Ah? Why are you sorry?"

"This is a copy of Changsheng Building."

Although the TV is much heavier than the radio, with the cooperation of his teammates and the ingenuity of the props, Qi Qian quickly emptied the four shelves.

"Bang-dong!"

The sound of the metal shell falling to the ground echoed in the darkness outside, making everyone's heart tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the two quickly arranged a device on the glass door that could seal the door at any time, lest the TV that was thrown outside would attract any bad things, or those female corpses in red would leave the TV in the dark , Walking towards the store again.

After doing all this, the two did not relax.

According to the experience just now, before the real source has not been found, these actions are only palliatives but not the root cause. As a medium, other TVs should also light up soon.

And what they have to do is very simple, that is, when the female corpse walks out of the TV, the entire shelf is emptied to buy time for the other two.

While urgent, it is not difficult.

The female corpse moved backwards stiffly and slowly, as if it had been precisely calculated, and would not change at all. According to this estimate, plus the short period of time when she sat on the dressing table at the beginning, it would take at least seven to seven minutes for the female corpse to walk out of the TV. eight minutes.

In other words, they only need to cut off the curse path enough during this period of time.

Outside the glass door.

The TV fell to the ground in all directions, the metal casing had been dented, and the top casing was also thrown away, exposing messy wires, and the screen was full of cracks.

Even though it has been destroyed badly, you can still see the red-clothed female corpse retreating on the screen.

"Zizi..."

The signal seems to be disturbed by something.

There was only a sound of "cha", and the screen suddenly went black, and everything fell into dead silence.

At the same time, An Xin and Qi Qian in the shop heard a "crack".

Their hearts sank.

The second wave is coming.

The two looked at each other, then turned around, and were about to act step by step as before—

In the next second, their pupils shrank and they almost subconsciously held their breath.

In the pitch-black store, the TVs placed on the shelves lighted up again, and amidst the "rustling" sound of electricity, the blurry picture trembled slightly.

At the farthest point of the screen is the scarlet mottled dresser.

However, this time the female corpse did not sit on the dressing table as before, but stood in the middle of the screen away from the dressing table.

...And this is exactly the progress of the female corpse on the screen when the TV was thrown out of the store.

With its back to the screen, it took another step forward, step by step backwards.

Both Qi Qian and An Xin couldn't help but their hearts sank, and their expressions gradually became ugly.

The worst shape emerges.

Although the speed at which the female corpse leaves the TV and enters reality will not change, the progress will be inherited!

In other words, they don't have seven or eight minutes to clear each time, but... there is only so much time in total!

If this speed continues, they won't even survive the second round.

The female corpse will soon come out of the screen.

"Zhang Yu! Come help!" Qi Qian gritted his teeth and said.

Although Zhang Yu's current situation is not right, they must use all their strength to buy enough time for the other two.

at the same time.

Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng also encountered obstacles.

They acted separately, Wen Jianyan started from the shelf on the left, Su Cheng started from the shelf on the right, and immediately notified the other party as soon as they found anything.

Wen Jianyan has already touched all the TV sets on the middle shelf in the area he is in charge of, but he didn't hear the familiar system beep.

And Su Cheng obviously didn't have it either.

Could it be that... the source of the curse this round is not a hidden item?

Rule change?

This idea came to Wen Jianyan's mind, but he quickly denied it.

No, not right.

If the rules change so often, the rules themselves lose their value.

It is possible to change one layer at a time, but within the same layer, the laws cannot change qualitatively.

What's more, last time, after Wen Jianyan found the source of the curse, he didn't know that it was a hidden prop, and in the process of getting close to it, he could clearly realize that the copy was consciously "blocking "Own.

That is to say, there will be danger.

However, during the entire search process, Wen Jianyan did not encounter any danger, the location of the TV set did not change, and there was no existence trying to prevent him from going to the "source".

So what's the matter?

Wen Jianyan lowered his eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, his mind was running fast, and his teeth were grinding his lips subconsciously.

"Crack—"

Suddenly, the TV closest to him suddenly lit up!

It seemed to light up close to her face, which made Wen Jianyan jump, subconsciously stepped back, raised her head in shock, and looked at the TV facing her.

On the screen covered with snowflakes, the scarlet dressing table is particularly dazzling. A woman in a red dress is sitting on the dressing table, raising her hand stiffly, combing her hair one by one.

"Zizi—"

There is no sound on the screen in the TV, and the screen flickers in the dark, giving a feeling of suffocation.

At this moment, the sound of "slapping" footsteps came from the aisle on the side.

Wen Jianyan turned her head to look at Xiang who heard the footsteps.

I saw Su Cheng running from here panting.

"No." Su Cheng shook his head with a dignified expression, "I have noticed during the whole process, the position of the TV has not changed, and I have not encountered any danger during the whole process."

The number of TVs is much less than that of radios. If there is a change in location, even if Su Cheng does not have the ability to remember with a photograph, he can easily notice it.

"Yes, I met Qi Qian just now, and he told me a very bad news."

Su Cheng spoke faster:

"Throwing out the TV set on the shelf, I'm afraid it will be difficult to prevent the female corpse from invading reality. Its progress will be inherited every time, that is, all the abilities on Qi Qian's side can move at the fastest speed. After two rounds, he told us to hurry up."

"...progress inheritance?"

Wen Jianyan was startled, and turned to look at the TV that had just turned on.

On the screen, the female corpse put down the comb, slowly stood up from the dressing table, took a step, and retreated slowly.

Su Cheng followed Wen Jianyan's gaze, and was also taken aback for a moment, with a puzzled look on his face: "Wait, what's going on...?"

Obviously, the female corpse in red is about to walk out of the TV sets outside!

Why in this station, it just got up?

Wen Jianyan seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Su Cheng: "You just said that there are all capable people on Qi Qian's side? Who are you referring to?"

"Uh...Zhang Yu."

Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and quickly replied.

Although Zhang Yu is not in good condition, he is still able to act, while Tong Yao is temporarily blind and unable to act.

Wen Jianyan took a breath:

"I know!"

"What?" Su Cheng was at a loss.

"Quick! Tell everyone to stop, look away, and stop watching the TV!"

Wen Jian spoke extremely fast: "Including you."

Although Su Cheng didn't understand what he meant, he still lowered his head and looked down, raised his voice, and shouted what Wen Jianyan asked him to shout.

In the distance, Qi Qian and An Xin stopped their movements. They were stunned, turned their heads to look at the voice, and soon heard the voice of prophecy.

Stop moving...?

"Listen to the prophecy!" Qi Qian quickly made a decision.

An Xin gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to throw away the TV in his hand, all of them looked away and looked out of the glass door.

The same goes for Wen Jianyan.

He lowered his eyes, staring at the small space at his feet.

Just now, he recalled what he encountered in the warehouse.

When I looked into the bronze mirror for the first time, there was a shadow on their backs, and under my gaze, the shadow took the first step.

There are four of them in total, and there are four TVs that start automatically for the first time. The female corpses in these four TVs are always moving, even if the TV is thrown out of the store, the backward progress can still be inherited.

After Zhang Yu left the area covered by oil lamps and joined the team, the fifth TV had just turned on, and the female corpse in front of it was in the state when it had just been turned on.

That is to say, the action of the female corpse is most likely awakened by the act of "watching".

This echoes the first wave of radio.

The way of spreading the curse, the first wave is auditory, and the second wave is visual.

Under the condition of observing the surroundings with Fa's eyes, time becomes extremely slow, and every minute and every second is suffering. Everyone can only count and calculate silently in their hearts, and their hearts lift up little by little as time goes by.

One minute.

two minutes.

three minutes.

According to estimates, the female corpse should have left the TV set and entered the real world by now.

An Xin almost had the urge to raise his eyes to see the situation, but he still held back forcefully.

Silence spread.

fourth minute.

Fifth minute.

Nothing happened.

If any of them could raise their eyes, they could see that in the five TV sets, the female corpse in a scarlet dress stood with her back to the screen, neither entering nor moving.

Wen Jianyan let out a long breath.

Looks like you guessed right.

"Go, go face to face." He said to Su Cheng, "Don't look up during the process."

The two lowered their heads, touched the shelves beside them, and walked slowly towards the end.

Although they couldn't raise their heads, they could still tell where they were now based on the approaching light of the oil lamp.

Soon, two came to the counter.

"The corpse will only move when it's being watched, right?" Qi Qian didn't turn his head when he heard the approaching footsteps, but just stared outside the glass door and said.

"It looks like it should be." Wen Jianyan said.

Although the crisis has not been completely resolved, they are slightly relieved.

The speed of the female corpse leaving the TV was really too fast, that is, several shelves were emptied, and then the TV was turned on again, but the walking progress of the female corpse was inherited. They could only watch it getting closer and closer in despair, until entering the real world.

And now, while the security is only temporary, give them some breathing room.

"If this is the case, is it safe for us to close our eyes?" An Xin asked.

"I'm afraid not." Qi Qian shook his head with a solemn expression, "Did you forget the radio just now?"

Even if the ears are blocked, the voice will also sound in the mind.

This time should be no exception.

Even if you close your eyes, the image of the red-clothed female corpse should emerge in your mind sooner or later, and gradually enter the real world.

This can only be a temporary countermeasure. If you want to truly solve the crisis, you still need to find the source of the curse.

"Unfortunately, we didn't find it."

Su Cheng was a little frustrated. He briefly recounted what he and Wen Jianyan had done just now, and finally concluded, "None of those TV sets are hidden props."

"Isn't the source of the curse this time a hidden item?"

"or…"

"I have an idea."

Wen Jianyan thought about it, and suddenly said.

Qi Qian: "Tell me."

"Perhaps, the real source of the curse is actually on the TV?"

Almost stunned: "What?"

"A customer walks to the middle of the store and buys something. If what he buys is not a TV, but something inside the TV, the source of the curse that is replaced is not the TV itself."

Wen Jianyan sorted out the clues in his mind, and spoke slowly and methodically.

"So we didn't come into contact with the 'hidden item' just now, because it is not in this store—at least not in the store we are familiar with."

Qi Qian froze for a moment, and suddenly thought of something:

"That comb!"

When they entered the warehouse just now, they saw the dressing table painted with mottled red paint, the old bronze mirror, and the female corpse in red. The only thing they didn't see was the female corpse holding the red comb.

"I go…"

An Xin was shocked by Wen Jianyan's overly bold and absurd guess, but also felt a burst of strength:

"If this is the case, how can we get the things on the TV..."

After all, they are real.

"Since the female corpse can invade the real world, maybe we can also invade its world in reverse," Wen Jianyan said.

His tone was still gentle, light and low, with a hint of timidity.

However, the words that came out were so crazy that they trembled all over.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes slightly, staring at his blurred reflection on the glass door.

Following his gaze, the blurred glass door seemed to be slowly becoming clearer, and a scarlet figure loomed.

He said softly:

"Remember that bronze mirror in the warehouse?"
