Chapter 184: Nalan Hongwu: Watch Me Play, I'll Show You How It's Done! (Fourth Update)
It seems everyone felt the aftereffects of playing Silent Hill!
Yesterday they were constantly paranoid, terrified that something bizarre would leap out from behind them, yet waking up today, they actually felt a little less afraid?!
Of course, it wasn't that they weren't afraid, just less afraid than before!
The Eldest Princess stood atop the dharma boat, gazing into the distance at the empty view of Jiuhua City. The Second and Fifth Princes stood right beside her.
"What is there to be afraid of? Do you see this princess being afraid?" She let out a disdainful, cold snort.
"Imperial Sister! Why is there a pyramid headpiece over there?!"
"Where?!" Turning her head, she found the Second and Fifth Princes had already vanished without a trace.
The deserted surroundings instantly seemed to grow a whole lot colder: "Why are you running?! Ah—!"
...
At this time, Fang Qi, Song Qingfeng, Nalan Hongwu, Su Tianji, and others were comfortably eating instant noodles together on the sofa by the entrance.
"Owner! Owner!" Fenghua and Yuexin walked over carrying their instant noodles. Because they slept in a bit longer today, they hadn't come together with Su Tianji, so the two entered the internet cafe slightly later.
Fang Qi looked up: "???"
"Didn't you go watch a TV series by yourself?" Fang Qi stared at Fenghua with a face full of confusion.
Just a moment ago, a Fenghua had gone to watch a TV series, so how did another one come running over to eat instant noodles?!
"Computer number 16." Fang Qi carried his instant noodles over to take a look, "Where is the person?!"
"What computer number 16?" Fenghua was even more bewildered, "Yuexin and I just arrived!"
"Rested up?" Su Tianji glanced at the two of them.
"Just resting for a little bit made us feel less afraid!" The two said excitedly.
"By the way, Owner!" Fenghua asked, "What did you mean by computer number 16 just now?"
Outside the restroom:
"Young lady!" Yu Liang, an instructor from Lingyun Academy, looked completely dazed. Just now, he had actually seen a figure in a white Taoist dress enter the men's restroom?!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
First came a knock, immediately followed by hurriedly opening the restroom door and walking inside. Looking at one stall after another, it seemed no one was in sight?
Where did they go?!
"Young lady! This is the men's restroom!" Yu Liang hurriedly shouted.
The lounge area near the internet cafe entrance:
Fang Qi immediately recounted the situation from just now.
"You mean you saw a Fenghua go to computer number 16 to watch a TV series just now, so you saw two Fenghuas?!" Su Tianji and everyone around stared intently at Fang Qi with burning eyes.
"I saw it too!" Jiang Xiaoyue raised her hand.
"Speaking of which..." Nalan Hongwu always arrived early, "This old man seems to have indeed seen a girl over there earlier wearing the exact same clothes as this little girl Fenghua...?"
"Owner..." Song Qingfeng suddenly felt a bit hair-raising, "Do you think... Silent Hill couldn't actually exist, right..."
You should know that when they watched the live stream yesterday, they also saw two male protagonists!
"Ah—!" Fenghua almost jumped up in fright, also remembering the other corpse that looked like the male protagonist she saw when the live stream was almost over yesterday, "Could that Fenghua be the me from Silent Hill...!?"
"Owner!" At this moment, an instructor from Lingyun Academy came rushing up, "I just saw a girl wearing a dress enter the men's restroom! No matter how I try to persuade her, she won't come out!"
Everyone exchanged looks: !!??
Everyone was stunned!
A girl wearing a dress entered the men's restroom! And won't come out no matter how they try to persuade her?!
"It must be someone in disguise!" Nalan Hongwu reacted immediately!
Hurry over and catch the person!
Fang Qi and several other men hurriedly rushed to the front of the men's restroom...
Xiao Yulv walked out, pressed against the corner of the wall with a face covered in cold sweat...
Fortunately he wasn't discovered! His heart was about to leap out of his chest!
Only after putting quite a distance between himself and the restroom, walking to the entrance, did Xiao Yulv breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately he wasn't caught, otherwise it would be even more miserable than being thrown out!
And at this time, Su Tianji was sitting on the sofa by the door, comforting Fenghua and Yuexin.
Sitting on the sofa, her line of sight was naturally quite low, and she caught sight of a pair of white boots belonging to a female disciple of the Liuyun Daoist Palace at a glance.
Looking up, she only saw Xiao Yulv reveal a smile: "Greetings, Aunt!"
Su Tianji: "..."
"Ah—!"
Only a miserable shriek was heard, and Xiao Yulv flew out the door once again!
"Scram back and change your boots!" Su Tianji's face turned completely livid.
What the hell was this?!
...
"Didn't find anyone..."
"What happened?" At this time, several men returned from the restroom one after another.
"Owner! Are you still live streaming today or not!?" Xu Zixin ordered a bucket of instant noodles and leaned over to sit on the sofa.
Although they had all played themselves into psychological trauma yesterday, after a night's time, coupled with a slight increase in their own mental state cultivation as a result, Xu Zixin also felt that she wasn't quite as afraid.
"How about... streaming during the day today?" Su Tianji asked while eating her instant noodles.
Streaming this kind of thing at night was just too terrifying! Thinking about the live stream, it was better to have Fang Qi do it as early as possible.
"Can't you guys just play by yourselves first!" Fang Qi rolled his eyes, indicating that he absolutely needed to take a breather today!
"True! Play during the day today, and go back early after finishing!" Su Tianji said.
"Uh... you still dare to play...!?" Xu Zixin and the others stared at her dumbfounded.
Although they indeed felt a slight improvement in their mental state, just watching was one thing, but playing it themselves...
They still felt it was a bit too terrifying.
"Are you talking about the new game that came out yesterday, Silent Hill 2?" An Huwei and the others also strolled over carrying buckets of instant noodles at this time. After all, Fang Qi had written Silent Hill 2 on the small blackboard under today's new products, so naturally quite a few people noticed it.
There were those who inquired about the situation but hadn't played yet, and those who already understood after watching for a while yesterday.
After all, not everyone started trying it on the first day; there were still others waiting and watching.
An Huwei, An Cheng, and the others belonged to the type that was still waiting and watching: "It seems pretty scary?"
"Ordinary people naturally get paranoid when playing!" Nalan Hongwu said disdainfully, "The weaker a person's will is, the easier their resolve shakes in this game. Look at this old man, isn't everything perfectly fine?! Unlike you little youngsters, making a fuss over nothing!"
An Huwei chuckled and said, "Old Master, how could we ever compare to you!"
"Perfect!" Nalan Hongwu finished his instant noodles and stood up from the sofa. "Since Kid Fang isn't playing, this old man will."
"This old man has already seen through it. This game simply uses a continuous psychological onslaught to break your mental defenses. The monsters aren't actually that formidable. As long as you guard your true heart and concentrate your mind as one, these ghostly tricks won't amount to anything at all!"
"Oh?" Hearing Nalan Hongwu speak like this, everyone's eyes instantly lit up. "Old Master, you're going to start playing?"
"Of course!" Nalan Hongwu let out a lost laugh. "Today, this old man will first open your eyes, lest you youngsters scare yourselves into inner demons before you've even figured out what's what!"
"Fantastic!"
"Let's go! Let's watch how the Old Master plays!"
Soon enough, Nalan Hongwu led a crowd of people to log onto the machines.
Su Tianji also hurriedly followed along. After all, this senior had participated in countless wars and was tempered in the truest sense; his mental cultivation was absolutely beyond reproach! Though her own cultivation was profound, when it came to strength of mind, she fell far too short compared to this old master.
"Boss!" Jiang Xiaoyue glanced toward the crowd. "Should we go take a look too?"
