Chapter 726 - You Use Musou. Instead, You Show Us Hide-And-Seek?!

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

When he was in the Jiuhua City Shop, Mr. Fang had played Silent Hill for a while.

Obviously, that game left a deep impression on the veteran players too.

At that time, Mr. Fang gave a moderate show in which he didn’t get lost, but he couldn’t show off any special plays.

In fact, some rumors even said that Mr. Fang was so scared afterwards that he was paralyzed by fear and couldn’t walk.

To get the desired effects, Sala even asked about it secretly in the group chat.

The responses were...

Su Tianji said, [Good idea! This will definitely scare the scummy shop owner senseless!]

Nalan Mingxue replied, [I think it can be done!]

Song Qingfeng chimed in, [Awesome! I like your idea!]

Therefore, these elves were confident with their request.

While staring at Mr. Fang with her big eyes, Sala asked him, “What about it? You’re afraid?”

“Afraid?!” Mr. Fang thought for a moment and said, “It’s just a game. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“Ha...?”

Nothing to be afraid of?! We thought so at the beginning of the game too!

“The shop owner must be bluffing,” Sala said in a low voice.

“Yeah. I asked in the group. He played a similar game before and was an average player...” Rowling agreed.

“Some rumors even said that he was paralyzed by fear and couldn’t walk in a while!”

“Humph! He will be scared witless this time!” Sala said.

That’s what he deserves for frightening us!

So many of us elves got scared; that’s despicable.

A group of elves stood behind Mr. Fang and watched him play in a hurry.

In addition...

“I’ll go buy a bag of potato chips,” Rowling said.

“I’ll get a box of spicy sticks!” Sala thought it would be great to eat snacks while watching the shop owner get scared.

“Bring me one box!” Elder Sewell said immediately, “One bag of potato chips too!”

With snacks in their hands, the elves brought over a bench so that they could sit behind Mr. Fang and watch him play. During the process, they contributed to the revenue of the shop.

Influenced by the elves, some assassins and even passersby also bought potato chips or other snacks. Soon, a large group of people stood behind Mr. Fang.

“Someone is playing this game again?”

“He will surely be scared to death...”

Obviously, the shop owner hadn’t come to the part of finger amputation since he had been standing behind Sala and watching the elves play for a long time in the morning.

In the early stage of the game, there were no supernatural phenomenon, but the fat monster was not only extremely strong but had great patience. Regardless of where or how far players had fled, he would catch up sooner or later.

In fact, this monster even waited for the main character in spots that he must pass.

The players would have to directly exit the game if the main character got punched by the monster. If he was caught, he would get his head pulled off his body.

At this moment, Mr. Fang had come to the part before encountering the ‘doctor’ who would amputate his fingers. The main character got upstairs again with great efforts but then was thrown to another zone of the lobby by the sudden explosion of the elevator.

From here, the main character could go to the sewer of the hospital. If he wanted to continue, he needed to open two valves in the sewer.

“Here he comes...” Sala said excitedly, “I was trapped and caught in this room several times!”

Sala ate a spicy stick with great enjoyment.

Mr. Fang ran all the way down the sewer. Hearing someone falling somewhere in front of him, he didn’t spare a glance at it and turned right, dashing into a side tunnel.

Mr. Fang explained while livestreaming, “At this time, we must run. When we run to this valve room, close the door and the valve.”

At this moment, all the players in old shops and the new shop were watching the livestream. Sala said smugly, “You’re trapping yourself inside, right?”

“Hahaha! You dug a grave for yourself.” Sala ate a mouthful of potato chips.

Then, Sala heard Mr. Fang continue to say, “Now, we have only one way out, and the monster is coming from that way. At this moment, we must keep calm since we can still do something here.”

Mr. Fang turned around and saw that there was only one lightbulb in the valve room, and it could only illuminate the area around the valve. The corner further away was pitch-black.

Mr. Fang squatted down in the darkest corner on the right of the entrance.

At this moment, the iron door of the valve room was crashed open.

“What would an ordinary person think right now? They would search for barriers such as lockers and chests which one could hide behind. You must keep calm and think from the opponent’s perspective and do the opposite, hiding in a place that he thinks no one would hide in.” Mr. Fang squatted in the corner and could see the fat man standing a few meters away from him without any barriers between them.

The fat monster looked around and saw darkness in the corner. Then, he walked toward the depths of the room where he thought people might hide in.

Then, Mr. Fang stood up calmly and slipped out the door.

“F*ck?!”

“He didn’t die?!”

The moment that the fat monster moved, Mr. Fang slipped out silently and opened the second valve.

When the fat monster caught up, Mr. Fang slipped into the tunnel on one side of the sewer while he just heard the clanking noises of iron chains.

The sewer area was very big, and most of the place was in the darkness. After dodging the pursuit of the fat monster at the second valve, the main character came to the last zone.

At this place, the monster must be waiting for the main character in a spot ahead of him. It was all dark, and the players couldn’t even see where the monster was.

Mr. Fang said, “In the sewer, we can’t jump around or run. Since you don’t know his whereabouts, and he doesn’t know yours, the person who makes noises will be detected first since you would expose yourself.”

It must be noted that the video camera’s night vision function would emit dim light, which in the system version would also increase the possibility of being detected by the enemy.

Therefore, the players could use it for a quick look at the distance in the darkness, but they would be exposed if they used it near the enemy.

Mr. Fang used the night vision to take a quick look. Sure enough, the fat monster was waiting for him on the path ahead.

Mr. Fang didn’t go up until the monster went to one side to scout.

However, Mr. Fang couldn’t avoid making a sound when he stepped on the metal plate on the bank. Soon, he heard a series of noises closing in toward him as iron chains collided.

In the darkness, Mr. Fang opened the night vision on his video camera, raced to the stairs at the entrance of the sewer, and climbed out.

“F*ck...”

“So easy?!”

The audience felt like they were not watching a horror game.

You’re playing hide-and-seek?!

The audience spoke from the perspective of the fat monster and flooded the scene with bullet comments.

[Fatty: Damn it! I didn’t even see him in the whole game. Am I playing with a ghost?]

[Fatty: The director told me to act with him in the sewer...??? Where is he?]

[Am I still a monster? Can’t you show me some respect?]

[Is this really a horror game?]

[I think this game should change its name to Assassin’s Creed: Hide-and-Seek...]

“Can we play like this...?” Sala and other elves had tears on their faces, thinking, I don’t think you can show us the Musou, but in turn, you are showing us your hide-and-seek skills?!

“I think this is fun...” Su Tianji ate some potato chips, thinking that she might try the game later.

As the game went on, the supernatural phenomenon that was absent in the early stages of the game began to reveal the truth hidden in the story.
