Chapter 725: Continue the Stream, This Elf Specifically Trained Outlast Survival Skills!

"Huh? Where did that elf go?" Yue Bai and the rest of the student crowd watching the livestream were tuned in as well.

Mu Qing took a bite of potato chips and said, "I think I just saw a flash of that elf, and then she was gone."

Right at that moment, the livestream camera caught an elf's head peeking up from below, looking utterly bewildered.

"Uh... I just slipped! Slipped!" Blushing furiously, she sat back down in the computer chair, explaining righteously with a face that screamed "Please believe me."

Just then, Boss Fang, holding a bucket of instant noodles, was chatting on Penguin: "I was just standing behind an elf watching her stream 'Outlast', and in the short time it took me to take a bite of noodles, I looked back and she had fallen right under the desk."

"Pfft—!" Su Tianji was also watching the stream at the time. When this message popped up out of nowhere, she almost sprayed her drink in laughter. "How can she be so dorkily cute, Hahaha!"

"I saw it just now too, Hahaha (^_^)—she was just squeezing into a bookcase when a giant fat guy suddenly appeared," Yue Bai also hurried to chime in the group. "Then she vanished from the camera. Turns out she fell under the desk!"

Sera had only just recovered her wits.

Taking a look at the livestream information.

Grand Elder Su tipped 666 goose eggs.

Young Master Song tipped ten "666"s.

Ji Yang of the Royal Guild tipped...

"Huh... Why are there suddenly so many tips..." Experiencing a livestream for the first time felt absolutely unbelievable.

"Sera, how far have you gotten over there?" Elena, sitting opposite her, spoke up to ask.

"I got to the part where someone threw me down. He suddenly appeared right when I was squeezing through a gap, leaving me no way to run. It gave me a total fright." Sera hadn't re-entered the game just yet.

"...That just means he appeared way too suddenly," Elena remarked as well. "There wasn't even a warning beforehand."

However, as an assassin, her psychological fortitude was supposed to be a bit better than Sera's, so she wouldn't end up quite like her.

"Nana, are you still playing?" Sera asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, I am."

"Really?" Sera said with a trace of defiance. "Then I'll play a bit longer. The one just now only caught me off guard because it was too sudden. Honestly, how could it be that scary?"

"Exactly, just don't scare yourself!" Elena spoke while playing. "I'll find a handy weapon in a bit, and then watch me go full warrior style!"

"Wow! How are you so amazing!" Sera looked across at her in astonishment.

Because the two sat facing each other, they couldn't see the other's screen.

At this moment, inside Elena's screen, she was shining a camcorder all over the place: "...Hmm? There's no way forward here..."

After searching for a long time, she finally noticed the top: "Oh, so there's a ventilation duct up here to go through... Who threw me down anyway... Why didn't I see them? They're all dead..."

...

At this moment.

"Nana isn't scared at all?" Sera sat up straight. "Alright~ now let us continue the livestream."

As a righteous elf, she absolutely had to play on to expose the evil deeds within; how could she give up halfway!

"Hey—! That elf is streaming again!" A crowd of onlookers immediately began watching again with great enthusiasm.

...

Re-entering the game, a sensation as if her entire body was falling apart spread through her frame.

However, the male protagonist was extremely lucky not to have plunged to his death, and didn't even suffer any broken bones or similar conditions.

Nevertheless, his internal organs had clearly suffered varying degrees of shock and damage. Not only was his mind groggy, but it was also accompanied by symptoms like tinnitus and weakness.

A priest who suddenly arrived, constantly muttering words that couldn't be understood, gave him an injection, which finally made the protagonist feel a bit better.

Of course, falling from a height of several stories was clearly not something that could be resolved by a single injection; at this moment, the body's condition was evidently already rather poor.

Imagine if you were in peak condition, feeling like you could fell a bull with a single punch, adventuring through dangerous places—naturally, you wouldn't harbor any feelings of fear or anxiety. But if you suddenly almost fell to your death, leaving your body exceedingly weak, and at this moment you were still in such an extremely perilous place... what would your mood be like?

And this kind of experience, whether physical or psychological, acted upon the player just the same.

Clearly, the main quest in the game had changed at this point.

At first, the task was to investigate this place, but now it had turned into an escape.

But now, Sera only felt as if her entire body were filled with lead: "How am I supposed to play this!"

She practically didn't want to play anymore!

This was completely different from what she had previously imagined. It would be fine for an ordinary person, but now she actually had to endure such heavy injuries—how was she supposed to go full warrior?

Never mind being a warrior; in this state, even if a legendary Saint-level expert came to play, they might very well end up knocked down by an ordinary person with a club.

Most importantly, her head felt dizzy, and her whole body felt numb. If she were in a healthy state it would be fine; at least she would know what she ought to do, and could focus her mind to dodge or attack.

But now...

"Why do I feel like I've been slapped with a whole bunch of debuffs!" Having played World of Warcraft, she obviously still knew about things like debuffs.

"I feel like I should have been able to fight that monster before," Sera said, panting softly. "Actually, I'm not that cowardly, okay? You all have to believe me. Before I fell, I could definitely have fought that monster."

But now...

"Let's first see how to escape..." Clearly, this asylum was fully enclosed, and now that she had fallen from upstairs, she had also lost the chance to return the way she came.

Enclosed halls and rooms. Only where there were lights could a tiny patch of darkness be dispelled. Around the dim yellow light, it remained pitch black—in fact, because of the shadows cast directly beneath the lamps, it seemed even darker than elsewhere.

Passing through the corridor from the side of the hall, it was filled with bloodstains everywhere, and there were even headless corpses.

"This one... should be dead, right?" Sera swallowed hard. Because her physical state was so poor, she felt her mind growing a bit muddled. "It shouldn't get back up, right?"

Su Tianji sent a comment while drinking iced red tea: "The games at the boss's shop of this type are all especially terrifying."

Tang Yu: "I feel like this elf is rather cowardly... I just watched another one who seemed bolder."

"Oh, come on!" Seeing the comments, Sera was instantly displeased. She slapped the desk and said, "Where was I scared? That before was an accident, okay!"

To actually say someone else was bold while she was cowardly?!

How could she tolerate this?!

She absolutely had to vindicate her name, otherwise, getting scared under the desk during her very first livestream—wouldn't she be laughed to death by the players of these old shops?!

Thus, holding her breath all the way, she tiptoed through the pitch-black rooms looking for clues, resuming her play.

"In a bit, I'll show you all how I escape from here. Isn't this 'Outlast' just about escaping!" Although the safest way to escape—which was to wipe out all enemies in warrior fashion—could no longer be used given her current physical condition, this elf had undergone special training in escape skills!.
