Chapter 63.2: Evil God’s Human Agent

While Su Cheng and Ji Guan were exchanging information with each other, there were messy footsteps at the end of the corridor, not far away.

……Not good!

Su Cheng’s heart contracted.

In the next second, a voice that sounded as if someone was gritting their teeth came from that direction: “Quick! It’s him! He is the sole accomplice of that scammer!”

Su Cheng opened the backpack reflexively—no, all the concealment robes are used up!

Immediately afterward, his whole body was knocked down by an invisible force, and he fell heavily onto the wall. His shoulder blades collided with the hard wall, causing dull pain.

Su Cheng clenched his teeth subconsciously, and a bloody smell rose in his mouth.

Although Ji Guan didn’t know what had happened to them before, he jumped out in a hurry: “Wait, wait! We are also on the red team! Aren’t we teammates!”

Since there was only one person on the black side, that was Wen Jianyan, the rest of the anchors should all be on the red side.

They were outnumbered now, it was best to let the other party think that they were in the same camp…

However, before Ji Guan could say anything more, his body was firmly imprisoned by some kind of invisible rope. He was punched hard in the abdomen and fell to the ground with a distorted expression.

“Of course, I know you are on the red side.”

Wang Hanyu shook his hands, turned around, and kicked Su Cheng hard in the stomach.

Su Cheng’s face crumpled painfully, and he curled up like a shrimp.

Seeing this, Wang Hanyu showed a particularly happy smile on his face: “After all, there is only one person on the black side, isn’t it?”

He raised his foot and viciously crushed Su Cheng’s knuckles with the hard sole of his shoes, and the knuckles made a rattling sound under the vicious crushing.

“Aaaaaaahhhhh!”

Su Cheng screamed, his face pale.

“But, as ex-teammates, you guys must know where that guy is, right?”

Wang Hanyu bent down, grabbed Su Cheng’s hair, and forcefully pulled his upper body: “If you tell me where he is, I’ll spare your life, how about it?”

On the side, Ji Guan noticed that something was wrong.

He covered his stomach and coughed twice, then stopped with some difficulty: “Wait… You guys should also know this, right? This is a non-confrontational faction battle. If you want to win, you just need to complete the main task—”

“Complete the main task?”

Gao Chengxin on the side suddenly spoke.

He sneered, and under the dark red light, his already fierce eyebrows and eyes looked even more terrifying at this moment: “Of course, this is also a way, but under the current situation, it’s a bit too difficult, isn’t it?”

Gao Chengxin stepped forward and said unhurriedly: “Even if it is a non-confrontational faction battle, it can be solved in the way of the confrontational faction book—if all the black team members are wiped out, the red team can still win.”

“After all, the black side has only one person now. This is much easier than completing the main task.”

Wang Hanyu raised his hand and slammed the back of Su Cheng’s head against the wall:

“Tell me, where is that liar?”

“……have no idea.”

Su Cheng gritted his teeth, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth with difficulty.

His forehead was already bleeding, and the warm and viscous scarlet liquid slowly dripped down, completely pasting his right eyelashes together: “We separated a long time ago.”

“You are loyal.”

Wang Hanyu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: “I’ve already talked to several other teams. The reason why that guy had been able to play us around was all because of your help.”

“You both are already level C anchors; do you still not understand? In the Nightmare, loyalty is meaningless…”

Wang Hanyu let go of his hand, allowing the opponent’s body to fall limply at his feet. Then he opened the system store and said condescendingly:

“It doesn’t matter, anyway; you will tell the truth soon.”

An anchor not far away showed a hesitant expression on his face:

“Wait, I don’t think he is lying. After all, he is also a member of the red team now. If we lose, he will also die…”

“So what?”

Wang Hanyu said, “He’ll have to pay the price for tricking us.”

There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and a dagger gleaming with cold light appeared in the palm of the other hand. The edge of the dagger was covered with barbs, and it looked extremely sharp.

He weighed the dagger in his hand, then bent down and pressed it against the other party’s cheek.

The flat skin opened little by little, and scarlet blood oozed out.

Su Cheng raised his eyes and looked at him fixedly; his lips opened and closed, and he uttered two short words:

“The tower.”

“…What?” Wang Hanyu was taken aback and frowned slightly.

“Upright.”

One of Su Cheng’s eyes was smeared with blood, and he said slowly, “Destruction and crisis are about to happen. A huge disaster is approaching, the irreparable is coming, everything about you will collapse and disintegrate from the depths, and all the bad things you have done will come back to you.”

Wang Hanyu: “……”

His expression became a little gloomy.

Su Cheng smiled, showing his blood-stained teeth: “It’s just a free divination.”

“Damn it.”

Wang Hanyu’s expression was ghastly; he raised his leg suddenly and aimed at the opponent’s stomach again——

“Squeak.”

A sharp and piercing hinge friction noise sounded in the dead corridor, like a harbinger of doom. Everyone was startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

The door panel covered with countless charms slid inward silently, revealing a dark interior as if an abyss was slowly opening, waiting for the next sacrifice to appear.

A strong smell of blood diffused out.

There was a particularly ominous atmosphere in the apartment.

The anchors couldn’t help but feel their hearts skip a beat, and they instinctively took a step back.

“Gulugulu…”

The strange sound of water resounded in the pitch-black room as if something slippery and sticky was wriggling and sticking out its tentacles.

The faded wooden door frame was dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a soft scarlet with a weird texture. Then the wall——

Like some kind of infectious disease, the flesh-like monster protruded its tentacles from the closed door, nibbling away at wood, stone, and steel——

All the anchors’ pupils were constricted.

“This… what is this?!”

“Quick, get ready!”

“Who still has the props?! Quick, redeem them!”

Wang Hanyu’s face turned pale. He didn’t know if it was because of the “free divination” just now, but he felt chills all over his body as if he was being targeted by something terrifying.

When the others were preparing to fight, he couldn’t help taking a few steps back, almost having the desire to turn around and run away.

“Cluck.”

“Cluck.”

The ear-piercing sound of bone friction sounded from the depths of the darkness. Several pale arms protruded from the shadows, their sharp nails digging deep into the wall. The strange clucking sound echoed in the corridor, almost making people’s scalps numb.

“No, there are too many!”

“What’s going on?! Why are there so many monsters in this 1316?!”

The anchors turned pale with shock. They instantly recognized the gap in strength and no longer tried to resist, but turned around and ran without hesitation: “Quick! Hurry up!”

“Get out of here!”

One of the anchors turned his head to look at Su Cheng and Ji Guan, who had fallen to the ground, feeling a bit unbearable: “What about the two of them? Bring them with us?”

“Leave them alone!”

Gao Chengxin’s voice was sharp and cold: “There are enough people on the red side; it doesn’t matter if two people are missing!”

“Cluck.”

“Cluck.”

The pale monsters sprang out of the darkness. With the sound of bones twisting and rubbing, they rushed straight toward humans at a speed that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

On the wall, the speed of spreading flesh and blood accelerated several times. Under the dark-red, flickering light, the wall’s texture quickly changed. The wall, which was old and dirty and covered with graffiti and small advertisements, was swallowed by scarlet, sticky monsters. It was like being stuck in the middle of the esophagus, waiting to be digested.

Everything looked so eerie and terrifying, like a scene that could only appear in the deepest nightmare.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan looked pale.

Even though the two of them had just been beaten and blocked by the anchors, they hadn’t had enough time to sustain any significant harm. At least they could still run, but…

This was no longer a question of being able to run or not.

Three monsters surrounded them; the pale faces without facial features slowly approached, and a strong rancid smell came from their bodies.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan looked pale, and they subconsciously and slowly backed away. When their backs leaned against something soft and sticky, they suddenly realized what was behind them.

Weak screams escaped from their throats at the same time.

Aaaaaaahhhhh, how can there be so many monsters?!!!

The three monsters moved forward a few inches again and slowly stretched out their pale arms toward the two humans, their soft snake-like bodies making clucking sounds.

Su Cheng and Ji Guan closed their eyes in despair.

“…It’s all right.”

The young man’s familiar voice sounded from a distance.

This voice…?!

Su Cheng and Ji Guan opened their eyes in horror and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

“Cluck.”

The pale monsters withdrew their arms obediently, turned around, and chased again in the direction where the anchors disappeared.

In the darkness, a slender young man limped out.

The clothes on his body were in disarray, and the rest of the fabric was basically stained red with blood, revealing his scarred and firm body below. From the right chest to the right shoulder and then to the entire arm, all were covered by pitch-black incantation; white, scarlet, and thick black—three extremely contrasting colors—were concentrated on the same body, bringing a strong visual impact.

“You……”

Su Cheng and Ji Guan stared wide-eyed as if their eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, and it was almost hard to believe their own eyes: “You, you, you…”

“It seems that you have already met my new friends.”

Wen Jianyan raised the corners of his pale lips, which had lost too much blood, and his amber eyes narrowed slightly:

“How are you doing? Are you having a good time?”
