CH 60
Chapter 60: Mission updated: Awaken the fragment of the Evil Spirit
Although Su Cheng didn’t know what Wen Jianyan wanted to do, he still reacted quickly and carried out the other party’s order.
Soon, the world spun, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The light changed from light to darker, the scarlet blood covered the sky, and in the next second, no matter whether it was the pale paper figurine with a smile or the gloomy old woman, all disappeared from sight.
The corridor in front of him was empty and eerily distorted.
Su Cheng stood still in shock, gasping for breath, still unable to react.
He turned to look at Wen Jianyan, who was beside him.
The other party took two steps back, as if collapsing, and leaned against the wall.
Wen Jianyan raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and slowly let out a long sigh of relief.
The bluff still worked…
The system’s mechanical sound sounded in his ears:
【Ding! Current plot modification: 65%, Reward points 20000】
Wen Jianyan: ? ? ?
It can’t be. He didn’t think he had done anything! Why did the plot modification rate increase so inexplicably?!
And according to his experience, a modification rate of more than 60% was a very dangerous level, and very awful things could easily happen…
At this moment, the familiar system sound sounded again in his ears:
【Ding! It has been detected that the plot modification has reached the threshold, and the instance is undergoing uncontrollable changes!】
【The new plot is opening…】
【Countdown to instance alienation: 20:00】
Wen Jianyan: “……”
Hehe.
I just fucking knew.
“I……”
Su Cheng took a deep breath, collected himself, and asked in confusion: “Why do we come back here?”
Wasn’t this the most dangerous place in the entire instance?
“Because the key to breaking the game is here.”
Wen Jianyan looked in Su Cheng’s direction and slowly moved his shoulders, which were stiff due to excessive tension: “And… do you think there is any place for us to run in that situation just now?”
Su Cheng: “……”
I hate to admit it, but you’re right.
“But… weren’t you afraid that Granny Wen and the others would also be dragged in?” Su Cheng continued to ask.
“This is the place she used to refine the altar, how could she come in herself?” Wen Jianyan straightened up: “Besides, if she really came in, it would be wonderful; after all, there are a bunch of murderous anchors in here. As long as we play some tricks to make the two parties meet, we will be able to retreat unscathed.”
Su Cheng: “……”
God! You are really insidious.
At this moment, Su Cheng seemed to have thought of something, his eyes moved to Wen Jianyan’s arm hanging on the other side. The sleeve of the other party had already been lowered at this moment, blocking the strangely patterned symbol under it.
He asked suspiciously:
“Speaking of… the thing you just showed Granny Wen, what was that?”
Although Su Cheng didn’t pay much attention to whether there were special marks on the skin of his companions, if there had been such a large area of conspicuous tattoos before, he would definitely not have ignored them.
Wen Jianyan moved his wrist indistinctly, letting his sleeves hang down a little more, covering the lines on the back of his hand.
He squinted his eyes and smiled: “Tattoo stickers; you didn’t expect that?”
Su Cheng: “?”
Wen Jianyan talked nonsense without changing his expression: “This is only the primary pattern on the arm, but there are also people with poor brains who will buy the full-body pattern. I don’t recommend this; after all, although it looks cool, it actually fades like crazy in the shower.”
The pieces of “…” floated through the “Integrity First” live broadcast room.
[…Damn, goddamn fading!]
[Hahahahahahaha, Evil spirit boss: ?]
[The tattoo stickers that faded in the shower make me laugh so hard, I’m going crazy!]
[Hahahahahahahahaha, worthy of being a dog liar, you have a way of talking behind people’s backs.]
[To be honest, every time I see this dog liar talking nonsense, I’m terrified. Is this guy completely unaware of his overturning constitution?]
Suddenly, hurried footsteps appeared in the corridor ahead, coming in this direction at an extremely fast speed——
The next second, under the shroud of dim red light, several anchors appeared not far away. They seemed to have experienced a fierce battle and were disheveled and extremely embarrassed.
One of them was startled when he saw Su Cheng and Wen Jianyan not far away and stopped his pace subconsciously.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he managed to distinguish the familiar facial features from the other party’s face covered with dust and blood.
Wait, the other party is…
Wang Hanyu’s eyes widened. He took a breath, and his eyes wandered between Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng:
“You……?”
This was the first time Su Cheng was caught after lying and deceiving others. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, the hair on his back stood on end, and he was tongue-tied and didn’t know what to say.
But Wen Jianyan seemed much calmer.
He took a step forward and said with ease: “Hello, I—”
However, before Wen Jianyan had time to start bluffing and lying, he just heard an old voice ringing in his ears without warning.
The voice echoed faintly in the deep and cold corridor, reaching the ears of every anchor without hindrance:
“The gate of hell opens on July 15th, and today will be the day when the power of evil spirits is strongest.”
“Among you, there is an evil spirit believer who has the imprint of the evil god on his body. He came here before July 15th only to destroy the blessing of the Bodhisattva and release that terrifying evil spirit!”
At the end, Granny Wen’s voice became sharp and shrill, almost like the sound of scratching glass with fingernails, making their scalp numb.
But soon, her voice returned to the usual old and hoarse, with a sense of indisputable and unfathomable inscrutability:
“The Bodhisattva has profound kindness and a compassionate heart, but he will not tolerate such evil people causing disaster to the world.
No matter who finds and brings that evil spirit believer to me, I will unconditionally fulfill one of his wishes. No matter what you want, the Bodhisattva will return your devotion and dedication.”
Granny Wen’s lingering voice echoed faintly in the air.
“Buzz.” “Buzz.”
The mobile phones of all the anchors vibrated.
Whether they were still confronting or fighting, all the anchors stopped at the same time, took out their mobile phones from their pockets, and looked at the mission card that had just been updated.
【The high-difficulty side task has been updated: Find the believer of the evil spirit with the evil mark on his body, and hand him over to Granny Wen】
【Completion: 0%】
Wang Hanyu’s gaze moved and slowly fell on Wen Jianyan’s arm at his side.
Although the sleeves hang down to cover half of the back of the hand, the dark, spell-like lines have completely spread below the back of the hand at this moment and even climb and extend along the white and slender fingers, looking extraordinarily clear and conspicuous, full of strange and weird colors.
He glanced down at his task card.
【Completion: 50%】
Wen Jianyan: “……”
F*ck.
“The robe of concealment! Quick!” Wen Jianyan grabbed Su Cheng’s arm and screamed in his ear.
Su Cheng also recovered from his short-term daze, and hurriedly activated the concealment robe. The figures of the two disappeared at the end of the corridor in an instant.
Wang Hanyu on the opposite side also quickly regained his senses:
“That person is a believer of the evil spirit! Who has tracking props?! Hurry up!”
Although he didn’t know what happened just now, seeing Su Cheng with the anchor, who pretended to be an NPC, Wang Hanyu felt a strong sense of being deceived.
When other people were looking for props, Wang Hanyu seemed to think of something suddenly; he took out the paper coin from his pocket and handed it to the person beside him:
“What is the level of this prop?”
The anchor was taken aback for a moment; apparently, he did not expect Wang Hanyu to make such a move. He subconsciously took the paper coin, and then showed a puzzled look on his face:
“Is this a prop?”
The system notification didn’t sound.
“……” Wang Hanyu’s expression darkened instantly, he gritted his teeth and said:
“That Dark Fire member played us all! I’ll kill him!”
Wen Jianyan and Su Cheng hid under the concealment robe and ran quickly along the corridor.
At the same time, the logo outside the live broadcast hall slowly changed.
【Antai Community】
Instance difficulty level: B–
The highest unlock progress in history: 56%
Viewing value: B
This instance, “Antai Community,” slowly rose several levels on the list of recommended viewings and suddenly jumped from the second or third page to the first page.
The audience in the live broadcast square: ? ? ?
There were almost no twists and turns in the first half of the “Antai Community” instance, just completing the tasks on the identity card. The only difficult identity card had a high death rate and could hardly survive the first two tasks. The second half was basically the anchors fighting each other. If one was willing to fight, the chance of survival wasn’t small.
Therefore, although the difficulty of this instance was not low, the viewing value had actually been hovering between levels D and C, and it was very rare for it to be at the same level as the difficulty.
But this time… the viewing value skyrocketed!
Has some great god appeared in it?
Many viewers watching the fun instantly became excited and flocked toward the live broadcast.
After entering, the audience members who had seen this instance were stunned.
Wait a minute ……
Why did they feel that there was a big difference between this instance and the one they remembered?
It doesn’t seem some big shot has appeared in it…
But the style of the instance has become strange!
The audience in the “Integrity First” live broadcast room went crazy:
[Hahahahahahahahaha, who would have thought that a role-playing time-limited instance would end up being played as ‘find who is the undercover’.]
[Lmao, not only did he just barely escape the danger but now he was also targeted by all the NPCs and anchors at the same time!]
[He even became the follower of the boss who wanted to murder him… Hahahahaha what a strange plot direction!]
[As expected of you, my overturned anchor!]
Su Cheng opened his system store, and his face turned pale involuntarily: “My robe of concealment is about to reach the purchase limit.”
Every prop has a limit on how many times it can be purchased in a single instance, but most anchors rarely have enough points to buy all of them.
However, under the leadership of Wen Jianyan, their way of surviving was basically to walk on the deadline, develop obscenely, and never confront anyone directly, so they grabbed the concealment robe when they needed it.
They actually bought it abruptly, and now it has reached the purchase limit.
Wen Jianyan lowered his head and turned on his phone.
His ID card was updated again at some point.
【Identify card】
Name: Wu Qinghe
Age: 22
Occupation: Paranormal Investigator/Evil Spirit Believer
Related plot: Your superficial identity is that of a paranormal investigator, but in fact, you are a loyal believer of the evil spirit. On July 15, you came to the Antai community, trying to break the seal and unleash the evil spirit in which you believe so fanatically.
At the same time, you still insist on shooting videos, not only to make yourself popular but also to spread your evil beliefs and let the evil spirit get more loyal believers.
However, in the process, your true identity was discovered by the residents of the building. In order to prevent the evil spirit from appearing in the world, they decided to unite and destroy you.
【Main line task updated: Escape from the siege of other residents】
【High-difficulty side task updated: Awaken the fragments of the evil spirit】
Wen Jianyan: “……”
I have to say that this identity card was really professional in terms of storytelling.
He was just making up stories to scare the old lady, but now he has been recognized by the incident and has become a believer of the evil spirit!
Wen Jianyan stared at the high-difficulty side task that had just been updated, and what happened in the last instance at the end flashed through his mind. His expression gradually lost control little by little.
He gripped the phone fiercely.
Obviously, the one who didn’t want to wake up this evil spirit the most in this instance was him!
How did things turn out like this!!
Although Su Cheng didn’t know what Wen Jianyan wanted to do, he still reacted quickly and carried out the other party’s order.
