Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 179

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.

He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally landed on the wooden door of the confession room. With a little force, the hinge of the door turned, and the door that seemed to be welded to death made a soft "creak" sound, and it easily fell on his body. The front is opened.

A person wearing a nursing uniform from Ping An Nursing Home appeared in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared, Wen Jianyan couldn't help but choke his breath the moment he looked at the other person's face.

Lai's face lacked any facial features, and his face was pale and smooth, bald.

His voice came clearly:

"Are you ready, Father?"

"Well," Wen Jianyan nodded habitually, but before he finished speaking, the 5 progress bar above his head suddenly started to fall, and then changed back to 0, and even continued to decline—

Wen Jianyan's heart tightened suddenly.

He doesn't know what happens when the progress bar drops below the negative number!

The words the other party just said quickly flashed across his mind, Wen Jianyan seemed to suddenly realize something, he turned his head, subconsciously swept to the side, and something bumped into his sight.

"Ah, I almost forgot this."

he said calmly.

The downtrend paused.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, turned around, walked to the side table, slowly reached out, and picked up a pitch-black bottle that was placed on it from above.

The progress bar rose back to five percent, and continued to rise one frame at a time.

Although Wen Jianyan is not a priest, not even a believer, and has never witnessed any exorcism ceremony, after all, many film and television works use this as the subject matter. conceptual.

Wen Jianyan swayed without a trace, and there was a slight, barely detectable sound of water coming from inside, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

—What is contained here is probably the holy water needed for the exorcism ceremony.

Crosses, bibles, holy water...

There should be nothing else, right?

Wen Jianyan looked around - he was no longer in the gloomy catacomb, but the chapel he used to look at after the bell rang.

High dome, sacred pulpit, rows of black wooden seats.

Wen Jianyan's gaze stayed in the third row for a moment.

It was empty there, and there was no sign of Lu Siliang.

After confirming that there was nothing nearby that he might carry, he took a deep breath and turned his head: "Okay, let's go."

Nodding facelessly: "Please."

With that said, he turned around and led the way for Wen Jianyan.

The progress bar is steady at 10.

[Integrity First] The live broadcast room is already boiling:

"Oh oh oh oh! My God! This is the first time I've seen this hidden circuit!"

"Me too! I've been watching Ping An Nursing Home for so long, and I haven't seen an anchor on this line before!"

"The difficulty of this route is really harsh. Not only do you have to "touch" the catacombs in the small hall, start the task of obtaining epic props, but you also have to get the two ordinary hidden props in the dean's room..."

"Yes, I came from Lu Si's live broadcast room. Although he had a Bible in his hand, he didn't open this branch line after entering the confession room. It should be possible to open it with the two together."

"God, I'm getting excited too, this wave is very, very quiet from the main mission!"

"...Am I the only one taking screenshots silently?"

"Help... I've been "fascinated" by the host's priest's costume!"

"! Add me to the one in front!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" priest ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)'

Wen Jianyan followed Lai, walking forward step by step.

The dark priest's uniform was clasped tightly around Wen Jianyan's neck, revealing only a line of thin white skin, the amber eyes were half hidden under the eyelashes of the same color, and the irises were not dark in color at all. It was a light, bright and almost false light falling from the top of the head, coating the blue-silver white roof with a light and holy halo, and the cross hanging on the chest shook slightly as it walked, shining silver The shimmering light made him look more like a holy official than a holy official.

Soon, the two left the hall.

The door of the hall was closed behind, but what came out of the door was not the familiar empty atrium, but a familiar metal door.

This is... the hidden laboratory in the Ping An Sanatorium?

"..."

Wen Jianyan was slightly taken aback.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

The location that was originally the gate of the hall has disappeared at this moment, leaving only a void of chaos, like an abyss of darkness.

It seems that in this special branch, the concept of space is meaningless, and everything is only for the side missions.

He took a deep breath, looked away, and walked towards the door.

The progress bar is 15.

Unlike the last time I came here, the Ping An Sanatorium here has no trace of pollution at all. The scarlet flesh film on the top of the head has disappeared completely, leaving only the smooth and white ceiling. All signs of filth and abandonment are swept away. Like going back in time, showing a rigorous and neat sign.

Faceless in white coats walked back and forth in the laboratory, walking hurriedly, talking to each other in low voices.

The entire laboratory was shrouded in an atmosphere of tension that made it hard to breathe.

A man with no face came forward, he faced Wen Jianyan with his blank face, and said, "Father, we are waiting for you."

Wen Jianyan adhered to the principle of saying more and making mistakes, and saying less and making fewer mistakes, and nodded silently.

"Before the plan starts, we need you to come and perform an exorcism ceremony for these poor souls possessed by evil spirits," Faceless said while drawing a standard sign of the cross on his chest: "May the Lord bless them."

Before the program starts?

Wen Jianyan keenly captured the key words in the other party's words.

"Have you got everything you need?"

Ask without face.

Wen Jianyan nodded cautiously again.

The progress bar did not rise or fall, and remained above the number 15.

"Very good, please follow me." Faceless said while turning around and walking towards the depths of the laboratory.

Wen Jianyan followed behind him, and glanced to the side indiscriminately—without the obstruction of those thick sticky sarcoids, he could have a panoramic view of the entire laboratory layout.

Due to the imminent danger and the wounded in his hands, last time he left very hastily, he could only leave in a hurry without collecting too much information. I thought that as the degree of alienation in the dungeon deepened, almost half of the Ping An Sanatorium was destroyed. In the case of devouring, there is no way to come back here to collect clues.

But what Wen Jianyan didn't know was that Ji actually came back in this way.

As he walked forward, his mind became active.

Do you want to... try to make a statement?

Suddenly, Faceless who was walking in front stopped. He turned his head, looked at Wen Jianyan, and said, "Father, let's start with No. 01 first."

No. 01? !

This familiar name made Wen Jianyan's body stiffen involuntarily, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look forward.

What appeared in front of my eyes was a small cubicle, almost the size of a ward, with a small number branded on the iron nameplate at the door.

【01】

"..."

Wen Jian had a very ominous premonition.

I saw that Faceless in front of me made way for him sideways, and the heavy iron door in front of him opened silently and slowly: "Please perform an exorcism for him."

Seemingly aware of Wen Jianyan's stiffness, Faceless added:

"Don't worry, he has been firmly **** by us, you are not in danger."

Because of Wen Jianyan's stagnation, the progress bar above his head was about to move, and it seemed to be in a downward trend again.

"..."

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and smiled: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, Wen Jianyan bit the bullet and walked towards the first compartment.

The cubicle is not big, and in the center is a **** bed, on which the hands and feet of a tall man are tightly bound, with a disheveled golden hair, although his face has no facial features like the others in this branch , but it did not prevent Wen Jianyan from recognizing the identity of the other party.

"..."

It is ripe.

After entering, 01, who was tightly tied to the bed, suddenly began to struggle. He didn't seem to mind the restraint belt on his body, and with a strong, almost brutal hostility, he struggled violently.

There was a "squeak" rubbing sound from the iron bed, Wen Jianyan was taken aback, and almost had the illusion that the other party had broken free, so she couldn't help but took a step back.

At this moment, the empty task bar on the side was newly added.

The steps of the exorcism ritual surfaced above.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, took out the Prop Bible from his pocket, and found a page according to the instructions.

Immediately afterwards, he unscrewed the small bottle, took a little holy water with his fingertips, walked carefully to the edge of the iron bed, and made a sign of the cross on the cold and pale forehead of the other party with his fingertips.

No. 01 struggled loudly.

Even without any words, Wen Jianyan could still feel the strong killing intent emanating from the inside out—obviously, 01 who was here didn't know him.

This is good for Wen Jianyan.

He took a deep breath, picked up the cross with one hand, pressed the cold metal against the soft and warm lips, and began to recite the passage above in a low voice.

With the sound of the voice, the progress bar above the head began to rise slowly.

Qing's voice is very low, clear and peaceful, even though he doesn't believe in God, it doesn't prevent his voice from being so devout and holy.

01's struggle gradually became smaller, and he became quiet little by little.

However, Wen Jianyan didn't feel that the task in this special branch was so easy to complete. While reading the contents of the Bible according to the instructions, he was alert to possible dangerous situations.

Suddenly, he realized that in the sky in front of him, a translucent shape was slowly outlined.

As the scriptures were read out sentence by sentence, the shape gradually solidified.

Tall, with a beast-like body, deeply contoured facial features, and crazy green eyes.

And the huge ax that seemed too terrifying compared to humans.

"!!"

Wen Jianyan was startled.

No, he probably knows what danger he is about to face in this special side mission!

In the next second, the phantom of No. 01 showed a paranoid and fanatical smile, and slowly raised the heavy axe, and with the whistling wind, the giant ax fell heavily!

Wen Jianyan managed to dodge.

The translucent ax blade easily smashed the table beside it, and the sawdust cracked and scattered in all directions!

Oops Oops Oops!

While cursing in a low voice, Wen Jianyan struggled to dodge in the narrow room, trying to avoid the sharp ax blades that hit him again and again. He even tried to hide under the bed to induce the opponent to attack his body, but, The ax easily passed through the bed board and slashed heavily on the ground beside him.

But after the ax was raised again, the bed board and what lay on it were intact.

Damn, the damage is still locked!

Wen Jianyan's eyes darkened.

The virtual image of 01 is a tireless machine, only the instinct of attack remains in the body, unable to communicate, unable to stop, only attacking the only enemy in the entire room over and over again: the priest who performed the exorcism ceremony for himself.

Wen Jianyan's evasion became more and more difficult.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something—

He rolled forward on the spot, then reached out and grabbed the dusty bible that had fallen on the ground, and quickly searched for the previous page.

Since this phantom was born due to the exorcism ceremony, it should disappear as soon as the exorcism ceremony is over!

Wen Jian spoke faster and continued to chant.

The suspended progress bar above the head began to rise again.

However, as the scriptures of exorcism reverberated in the air, the phantom's movements also became faster, and Wen Jianyan was almost slashed several times.

His heart was beating wildly, his eyes were staring at the phantom's movements, and at the same time he had to scan the pages of the book in his hand all the time, his lips stumbled as he read the obscure, difficult words.

It is very difficult even for Wen Jianyan to use one mind and three tasks.

Hurry up, hurry up, there is one more paragraph left!

Wen Jianyan was short of breath, murmured a prayer, looked down, and searched for the next sentence on the page—

He was only distracted for a brief second.

The whistling wind came violently, and the shadow fell from the top of the head at an unstoppable speed. At that moment, only one sentence came to Wen Jianyan's mind.

It's over, I can't escape.

The priest clung to the corner of the wall in embarrassment, the dark robes wrapped around his body became messy and dirty during the escape just now, covered with dust, silvery white threads stuck to his skin, and there were stains on his cheekbones. Flushed from excessive exercise, the amber eyes reflected the ax blade that was getting closer and closer to him.

Every second seemed to be stretched into a century.

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

"Woooo help, I dare not read mine!"

"No! My little priest, you can't come out!"

In addition to the wailing that the anchor is sure to die, there are also quite a few excited remarks:

"Cut it down! Cut it down!"

"Father, turn around, yes!"

The cold system sound rang in my ears: [Detecting the special props in the anchor's backpack, does it consume sanity points to activate? 】

"activation!"

Almost no need, Wen Jianyan closed his eyes tightly, and shouted at a fast speed.

—The next second, the cold ax blade stopped abruptly only an inch away from his forehead.

born…

what?

Wen Jianyan's eyelashes moved, and they opened slowly. His sweaty back leaned against the wall, panting in shock, unable to react to the situation for a while.

He turned his head cautiously, and secretly looked towards the front—

In front of 01 phantom, a bone phantom similar to a dog toy was suspended in mid-air, floating soundlessly.

And the restless and crazy state of the other party calmed down instantly.

Those blue eyes seemed to regain their rationality and sanity for a short time.

01 tilted his head, looked at the priest in front of him, and showed a thoughtful expression.

... appeased?

Wen Jianyan was stunned, and his gaze fell on the floating dog bone in front of his eyes—isn't this the hidden prop he was looking for in the ward of 01's spiritual world before!

It seems that the hidden props in this instance are not just collections.

Whether it is the cross and bible found in the dean's room, or the difficult-level hidden props obtained from the spiritual world of high-risk patients, they all have their own roles in this instance.

In this case...

Wouldn't the other props he collected before also come in handy?

While Wen Jianyan was thinking, the phantom in front of him suddenly moved again.

The tall male figure approached suddenly, bent down, opened the translucent arms, and wrapped the slender priest in front of him tightly into his arms, sniffing the other's neck with the tip of his nose, as if Looking for something familiar.

"...?"

01's throat overflowed with "confused" grunts.

Wen Jianyan was taken aback by the opponent's actions. He seized the time not to be distracted, looked down at the crumpled Bible in his palm, and finished the last sentence quickly.

The moment the voice fell, the phantom suddenly dissipated, and at the same time, the progress bar above Wen Jianyan's head also increased by 30.

"…call."

Wen Jianyan uttered a long sentence, feeling as if all his strength had been drained from his body. He leaned against the wall to support his weight, and took a deep breath.

At least this one is over.

With sweaty, weak fingers, he closed the Bible, and then, as if wanting to make sure of something, he used his other hand to "touch" his pocket—it was empty as expected.

Regarding the rules of this scene, Wen Jianyan already had a rough outline in mind.

Obviously, after entering the special line, he not only changed his costume, but even the props he had obtained before were left out of this scene.

In other words, next he needs to perform an exorcism for the high-risk disease, and during the process of exorcism, the other party also attacks him, and if he consumes sanity points, he can briefly use the props he obtained in the high-risk disease room.

Judging from 01's watch just now, the props have an obvious soothing effect, and can buy him time to finish reciting the exorcism prayer.

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the sanity bar suspended in midair.

I just used the props, which caused the blood bar to be gnawed. According to the amount of props used in one use, I can roughly use them for about three more times, which is roughly enough, but Wen Jianyan is unwilling to face such a limit situation, in case something happens later. It was an accident, so he gave up on one of the high-risk exorcism processes, trying to reduce the number of times the props were used to about 2.

The ability of No. 02 is difficult to deal with, two of No. 03, and No. 04 is relatively suitable.

Thoughts turned around in his mind, Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, feeling that the strength he had just lost gradually returned, he stood up straight, carefully patted off the dust on his body, flattened the wrinkles on his clothes, and straightened himself With a crooked white neckline, after confirming everything is normal, he took a step and walked towards the door.

What he didn't notice was that behind him, after the exorcism ceremony, the body of No. 01, which was firmly tied to the bed, had never struggled again. Since his facial features were blank, it was difficult to see whether he was awake or asleep. Then, the only change that happened was that when Wen Jianyan turned and walked out, that face also turned accordingly, as if the eyes were directly on him.

Wen Jianyan left the compartment of No. 01.

The faceless person who brought him here was waiting outside. After watching Wen Jianyan, he said, "Father, is the ceremony going well?"

Wen Jianyan nodded, and pretended to make a sign of the cross on his chest:

"May God bless him."

"Let's continue."

In room No. 01, Wen Jianyan has basically figured out the general customs clearance mode in this special scene. In addition, he is very familiar with these high-risks and has props that can restrain the opponent, so apart from In the first compartment, he seemed to be in a hurry due to the unfamiliarity, but the next exorcism was very handy.

Soon, the exorcism ceremonies on No. 02, No. 03 and No. 04 all ended successfully.

Wen Jianyan's progress bar has also successfully increased by 90.

After leaving room No. 04, he stared at the progress bar above his head, showing a puzzled expression.

In addition to the 15 progress obtained by admitting identity, preparing props, and entering the laboratory at the beginning, every time an exorcism ceremony is performed for a high-risk, the progress bar will increase by 15—Lornell gave a total of 30, but Even though all the high-risk diseases in his impression have already been diagnosed, his progress bar is still a little short of 100%.

strangeness…

How can the next step be accomplished?

Is it related to that Dr. Reese?

Wen Jianyan pursed her lips, with a serious expression on her face.

Among all the NPCs, Dr. Reese's spiritual world is only one that he has never entered, and he doesn't even know the name of the other party. Be careful.

He took a deep breath and stepped out of the ward of No. 04.

As soon as he came out, the faceless person who had been leading the way for him came up to him:

"Father, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work," Wen Jianyan shook his head, lying without blushing and heartbeat: "All this is for the Lord's karma."

Therefore, the other party was greatly moved:

"Your is compassionate and pious, it is simply a saint alive."

After complimenting him by comparing him to St. John, Faceless changed the topic: "You know, our plan is about to start, and before we start, maybe the last exorcism work needs your participation... But, It might be something special…”

Wen Jianyan was refreshed, and instantly realized that the other party should get to the point.

"The next special... will take you there."

Without a face, he turned his head and looked behind him.

A slender man with a meticulous hair and no face came up from a few steps away and nodded to Wen Jianyan:

"Father."

This voice is so familiar, even without any prompt, Wen Jianyan can easily recognize the other party from this blank state without facial features.

"Come with me, please," said the faceless Dr. Reese.

With that said, he turned around and walked forward first.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath, collected himself, and then stepped forward to follow.

The distance was not too long, but Wen Jianyan realized that the number of workers around him had decreased greatly, and his sight instantly became empty.

Dr. Reese stopped in his tracks:

"It's here."

What stands out in front of you is the inner, hidden deep compartment, which is almost hard to see from the angle just now.

Wen Jianyan's eyes fell on the nameplate of the iron door in front of him, and his breath was slightly suffocated.
