Welcome to the Nightmare Live Chapter 254

Chapter 154

Wen Jianyan stared at Wu Zhu's face which was close at hand.

He clearly captured the momentary change in the sudden contraction of the golden pupil when he leaned closer.

It's hard to say whether it's because of the depth hidden in the words in front of him, or because of the other party's overly flirtatious and provocative behavior.

Wu Zhu hangs down, staring at Lei in front of him, the dark tide surges deep in the bead.

His vision is still cold, cruel, and oppressed by aliens.

Even with such a skin that looks like a human, but being watched by such a god, he will not be mistaken for a human.

In this kind of sight, no matter how many times, Wen Jianyan will have the same feeling as the first time——

A shiver ran up my spine.

That is the basis of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages flowing in human blood, and it is the fear of the unknown abyss that is separated from human cognition.

First URL

He knows how cold and powerful the body that clings to him is, hiding a terrifying power capable of strangling everything. Compared with this, the human body and human palms are so fragile, and the thin skin is covered with soft and warm flesh. As if it could be broken easily.

He knew how disparate the balance of power between the two sides was.

It's like stepping on the tip of a knife, stepping on the top of a cliff.

The heartbeat is accompanied by adrenaline soaring, every minute and every second, there is a kind of dizziness that dances with danger and is a life and death partner.

However, the opposite of this is…

Wen Jianyan is clear that the control power in his hands is gradually increasing, like an invisible thread, a fine net, slowly opening in an imperceptible way, operating silently.

In order for Wen Jianyan to enter the fifth floor, although Nightmare proposed the so-called protection of immortality, it never talked about the possibility of letting him leave the fifth floor, because this is enough, it is enough to accomplish the purpose—that's why Wen Jianyan would not accept it. , not only to win Wu Zhu's trust, but also because he doesn't believe in such an overly generous gift.

It seems to take advantage of it, but in fact it will pay a higher price.

However, before the paper sedan chair was about to be carried into the courtyard, Wu Zhu appeared in real body, just to allow Wen Jianyan to enter the fifth floor in a more tortuous, more difficult and time-consuming way.

That is to say, for him, the importance of priority has changed unconsciously.

...I'm afraid Wu Zhu himself doesn't know how unusual his behavior is.

Wen Jianyan looked at his own reflection in the depths of Fang's pearl, and calmly examined all this.

Look, God with a heart has become so easy to understand.

Suddenly, without warning, the cold and wet tip of the tongue slowly rubbed against the palm.

Wen Jianyan didn't expect this, so he couldn't help being a little startled, the palm covering half of the opponent's face trembled, almost consciously retracted, but was held down by Wu Zhu quickly, and pulled back to his lips again. side.

While staring closely at Wen Jianyan's hands, the man lowered his head and "licked" the back of the other's hand—

It just happened to be where the tip of the other party's tongue touched.

The young man curled up his fingers consciously, as if he wanted to dodge suddenly, but he stopped abruptly when he retracted halfway.

Wu Zhu held Wen Jianyan's wrist, pulled him in front of him, then leaned closer, and took a gentle bite on the thin and hot ear bone:

"Don't forget your promise."

His sight was like a densely intertwined net, firmly trapping the other party, and his voice was low and deep:

"…once."

Behind the counter, everyone surrounded Wen Jianyan, trying to wake him up from his coma.

However, before anything had time to do anything, the other party's eyelashes trembled, and they slowly opened their eyes.

An Xin: "?!"

He leaned over in surprise: "Wen Wen, are you awake?"

"Uh...no."

Wen Jianyan frowned and responded vaguely.

I didn't feel it when I was in the dream just now, but now that I return to the real world, the weakness of being absorbed and devoured suddenly hits me like a tide.

He felt weak and weak, his hands and feet were as cold as if soaked in ice water, and when he moved his fingertips a little, he felt weak for a while.

Su Cheng hastily closed the interface of the system mall, and leaned closer: "How do you feel?"

While paying close attention to Wen Jianyan's situation, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded again from the dark shop in front of him.

"Da da da."

The stiff footsteps moved in the darkness, approaching the counter, and the atmosphere became tense again in an instant.

The "customer" is at it again.

Moreover, I don't know what happened just now, and what is its purpose now, except—

Wen Jianyan: "Listen to me."

Everyone was startled, and turned their heads to look at Wen Jianyan who was still half lying in An Xin's arms.

The silver-haired girl was pale and haggard, but Zhu Zhong's expression was calm and firm: "The fourth floor is indeed to feed the 'customers', but the offerings you need are not the incense you got before, but Yes, vitality, incense is just a tool to enshrine life to customers."

Hearing this, everyone was startled.

Does Qi Qian seem to realize it: "Wait, how much vitality does it take to feed a customer?"

Wen Jianyan: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a complete life."

All pupils shrank slightly.

That is to say, to complete the performance... the fourth floor is actually filled with life?

"This is the only way, but it doesn't mean that there are no loopholes," Wen Jian said clearly. They have limited time now, and they don't care what he is doing now. They just continued to say to him without interruption, "Xiang is responsible for classifying the class." The vitality is transformed into tribute, that is to say, the 'customer' ends up eating the tribute instead of directly eating it."

He lifted up and said slowly:

"To feed a customer requires the vitality of one portion, but if the vitality of one portion is equally divided among three different commitments, then none of them will die because of it."

Tangerine Tang was stunned for a moment, she looked at Wen Jianyan's pale and bloodless complexion, and his too weak state, and seemed to realize it suddenly, "Could it be that you have already done this."

Although she used a questioning tone, her tone was indeed certain.

"Yes." Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, supported An Xin's shoulder, and stood up staggeringly.

He lifted himself up and looked into the darkness.

Not far away, at the position of the incense burner, the faint scarlet flame was still on, but it was a third shorter than before.

Sure enough, what the customers ate was not so much human beings, but tributes full of human vitality. The reason why the tributes in the tomb bags and the plates in the courtyard were rotten was precisely because they were eaten by customers.

They are not useless decorations, on the contrary, this tribute just provides them with a glimmer of life.

"listen to me,"

Wen Jianyan looked at the people in front of him, speeded up his speech, and ordered concisely: "The next thing to do is the same as before. One group leaves the counter with red candles to attract customers' attention, and the other one holds candles. Another candle goes to the censer, drops a drop of blood into the ashes, and then drops another drop of blood into a plate of uncorrupted offerings, and come back after all this, understand?"

Qi Qian turned his head and looked at the crowd:

"Just do as she says."

He lowered his head, looked at Wen Jian, who was sitting there with a pale face, and said, "You take a good rest, and leave the rest to us."

Although Wen Jianyan did not describe the entire process and concept in detail, as a senior anchor, everyone basically caught a clue from what happened before, and more or less understood the inner rules of this layer of operation .

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and nodded.

In this dungeon, consuming one-third of his vitality is not a trivial matter. He is dizzy now, his hands and feet are weak, and he has to rely on support even when sitting. The whole state cannot be overpowered.

His anchor quickly sprang into action.

Wen Jianyan and Orange Candy respectively brought two important pieces of information about the fourth floor, one is the method of breaking the game, and the other is the danger that can be encountered when distracting customers. With these two methods, it is like being filled. Like a jigsaw puzzle, everything fell into place and became orderly.

However, this has nothing to do with Wen Jianyan.

He is sitting on the ground now, and there is no way to see the outside situation from this perspective.

Even if it is possible, in the darkness, I am afraid that there are very few things to see.

After pouring several sachets of measuring drink into his stomach one after another, his complexion finally improved, and he was no longer as ugly as before, as if he was dead.

While he was busy coping, Wen Jianyan tried to use all means to recover his physical strength.

If the lost vitality can be replenished, then the fault tolerance rate they receive will be much higher.

He sighed, and poured another bottle of measuring drink into his mouth.

It's a pity that it doesn't have much effect, and my hands and feet are still cold.

Wen Jianyan paused, raised his hand, touched his ear bones, and frowned.

Perhaps because the body was too cold, the piece of skin that was bitten before looked strange, painful and numb, hot and itchy... It was as if the touch in a dream still remained on the skin.

He pinched his ears and forcibly covered up the weird feeling.

After all, they are all senior anchors. After learning how to break the game, the whole action became very fast.

Soon, the first and third tributes all completed their tasks,

All gathered behind the counter again.

Tong Yao and Su Cheng were supported to sit on the ground, with pale faces, and panting, pouring a measure of drink into their mouths—as a support with little demand for participating in the battle, the two of them contributed the remaining third of their vitality.

That is to say, according to Wen Jianyan's guess, one offering should have ended.

"Help me up."

Wen Jianyan's voice was weak, but she insisted on speaking.

Qi Qian put Xin on one side, helping him to stand up.

Wen Jianyan supported the edge of the counter, took a breath, lifted it up, and looked intently into the darkness.

In the direction of the incense burner, the faint red light was faintly shining, and it was moving slowly at a visible speed until it finally disappeared completely.

There was only a deathly black silence in the huge shop.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, nervously waiting for the outcome of the matter.

However, unlike the one in the image, even though the light of the incense disappeared, the footsteps never sounded, and the customer seemed to be still standing there, motionless, and did not even try to walk towards the counter again—no matter what. The purpose is to attack or pay the bill.

"What's going on?" Qi Qian frowned, "Is there any other steps that need to be done?"

Wen Jianyan was startled for a moment, as if he got up suddenly, he lowered his head and looked at the soldered oil lamp on the counter.

Among the oil lamps, the size of the flame has basically stabilized in a normal state, and it is no longer burning as vigorously as before, but there is only one bottom left, and it should not last long before it needs to be replaced. However, the flame The dim yellow light emitted seemed to have lost the suppression of the darkness, and began to spread slowly again.

The previous scene came to mind.

In the stairwell between the third and fourth floors, after completing the "deal", the black shadow disappeared directly in front of him, instead of turning around and leaving like he did on several floors.

if it is like this…

Wen Jianyan shook her head: "No, there shouldn't be anything else to do."

As if to prove the truth of his words, the light from the oil lamp spread slowly, dispelling all the darkness in the huge shop.

The room in front of me was empty, and four sets of scarlet tables and chairs were quietly placed in place. On one of the tables, there was a small brass censer. The incense in the censer had been completely burned. The three trays of offerings were rotten and blackened, exuding an unpleasant smell.

And the figure of the customer has disappeared completely since then.

Qi Qian was almost taken aback.

They left the counter and walked towards the censer.

In front of the censer, there was a gray-white Ming coin placed upright. The moment they saw the Ming coin, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Apparently, their attempt was successful.

Not only successfully completed the first transaction, but also used this to figure out the rules of the fourth layer, which really kills two birds with one stone.

Wen Jianyan walked forward with two limp legs.

Almost made way for him.

Wen Jianyan lowered his head, picked up the copper incense burner on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Although the incense has been burned out, there is not half of the eerie, dizzying aroma left that still seems to linger in the nose.

He looked into the censer.

The incense ashes that were stained red by the blood had completely disappeared, and the remaining incense ash had turned into a clean off-white color—Wen Jianyan guessed that the previous incense ashes that were stained red had probably been consumed, just like before. It was like that in the stairwell, and the incense ash in the furnace now is the new incense ash left after the incense burnt out just now, waiting to be used once.

That being the case...

They now need to officially face a really bad problem.

Wen Jianyan said so, took out the Ming coin from his pocket, and put it on the table.

"This is…?"

Qi Qian on the side was taken aback.

"Yes, you guessed right, this is a superfluous ghost coin." Wen Jianyan nodded and briefly explained what he had encountered between the third and fourth floors.

All expressions are excited Xu:

"That is to say, we have actually completed two orders now?"

"Almost." Wen Jianyan nodded cautiously.

After all, in the copy of Changsheng Building, the number of customers is fixed, so the total number of customers they receive must be fixed. Since everything that happened in the stairwell earlier conformed to the rules on the fourth floor, he logically said I got the corresponding ghost coin. In theory, this ghost coin should be recognized as "turnover" by the dungeon.

After getting Wen Jianyan's affirmation, the atmosphere in the store instantly relaxed.

It has to be said that until now, they can almost be regarded as smooth sailing.

First, Wen Jianyan completed the first mission between the third and fourth floors by mistake, and then found the least dangerous room on the fourth floor. Without any casualties, he passed the first mission by "touching" After clearing the deep laws of this level, they found a way to pass the level with the least cost... Although it took less than an hour to enter the fourth level, their progress was almost several times that of the previous levels.

It's just leaps and bounds!

You know, they are now on the fourth floor where the horror level has been further raised!

"However," Wen Jianyan changed the subject.

He raised his head and looked at the crowd in front of him with a solemn expression, "To leave this floor, we must get two more Ming coins."

"But, we have the last incense stick left." Wen Jianyan said, looking at the orange candy beside him - that is to say, the holder of the last incense stick.

Tangerine Candy shrugged and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

Hearing this, the atmosphere that had been relaxed just now suddenly became depressing again.

Although the progress in the early stage can be regarded as smooth, the lack of resources is like a rope choking the throat, slowly and silently tightening, making you breathless.

At this time, Qi Qian broke the dead silence:

"However, before that, our most urgent task now is to restore the strength of the three of you—or at least find a way to recover."

If the three lose their basic mobility, the loss is too great.

In particular, there will be even more terrifying tough battles to come. If they don't let their teammates recover quickly, or find a way to restore their vitality, their team's strength will only be further weakened as time goes by.

...indeed.

Although they are short of resources now, after all, they still have an incense stick on hand, and they are not at the end of their rope for the time being. Slowly reviewing and sorting out a clue, maybe they can find a countermeasure before the worst situation comes.

An Xin leaned forward and held Wen Jianyan's arm:

"Let's go, I'll help you."

Wen Jianyan nodded, turned around and was about to walk towards the counter.

"Da da da."

Suddenly, the faint sound of footsteps came from outside the store door, approaching this direction step by step from far to near, which was very clear in the boundless darkness.

Everyone was shocked, turned their heads suddenly, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Outside the foggy glass door, a pitch-black figure could be vaguely seen walking towards this direction step by step with stiff steps.

Wait, didn't the last customer just leave, how could—!

The expressions of the crowd became solemn, and they stared at the door, with exactly the same question echoing in their minds.

How can it be so fast? !
