Free Web NovelChapter 348: Chapter 321: Dogs Like to Eat Bones (3)
[I get it now! Next time I see a stray dog, I’ll toss it a bone before running away!]
[I just want to know what on earth Doctor Wen has in her pockets. Why does she seem to have everything she needs? Did she somehow predict all the supplies she might need before coming here?]
[Probably not. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to come here looking for water, spicy strips, and instant noodles, right?]
[What do you guys know! Doctor Wen is just making the most of her resources! Since the stuff was here, why would she bring her own? Isn’t it better to use someone else’s? Are we going to have some Holy Mother pop up and say she shouldn’t steal?]
[If it were me, I’d steal it all too! This is a horror setting! It’s not the real world. A Holy Mother wouldn’t survive a single day here, right?]
Wen Ying turned and left, having no intention of fighting the Kobold.
The night deepened.
When the NPCs hiding in the corners saw Wen Ying leave the old castle’s gate in one piece, they were all stunned.
’Has Lord Dog Head gone soft?’
Only Black Cat watched Wen Ying’s retreating figure, wondering just how much food this human friend had taken to make Lord Dog Head so furious.
After leaving through the castle gate, Wen Ying didn’t go anywhere else, instead heading quietly toward the basement.
The night grew darker. It was time to rest.
This time, she was truly going to rest.
The basement hallway was filled with a foul smell, which soured Wen Ying’s mood just a little.
The hallway was empty. There were no people and no NPCs.
As Wen Ying passed the dorm rooms, she heard nothing.
It seemed like everyone was being silent.
But as she opened the door to her own room, Wen Ying could feel the doors of other dorms being quietly pulled open. Heads poked out from the gaps, watching her.
Wen Ying paid them no mind, simply opening her door and going inside.
Back in her room, she was, as expected, still alone.
It looked like things in the room had been moved. Wen Ying had expected this as well.
There wasn’t much in the room to begin with, aside from the notebook.
The notebook was still there, but some of the other items in the room had been shifted slightly from their original positions.
Wen Ying closed the door, took out the spicy strips, and tore open a pack. A long-missed flavor.
Then she brushed her teeth and lay down on the hard bedboard.
"I’m getting ready to sleep. Does the stream need to stay on?"
[We love watching Doctor Wen sleep!]
[Leave it on! What if something shows up while Doctor Wen is asleep? We can warn her.]
[I agree with the person above. Even though a sleeping Doctor Wen probably won’t see our warnings, I still support her streaming while she sleeps!]
[I could look at Doctor Wen’s face from any angle!]
TAP TAP TAP, TAP TAP TAP~
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP~
Suddenly, a tapping sound came through the livestream.
The sound was just like the ones you hear when monsters appear in horror movies. The kind where you look up and see it clinging to your ceiling, its eyes staring straight down at you.
Or when you turn around and see something like Sadako in the mirror.
Or when you wake up to find an extra human shape in your blankets.
Nervousness, suspense, terror, trembling—none of these typical reactions to a frightening atmosphere manifested in Wen Ying.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly pulled out a cup of instant noodles.
She tore off the packaging, revealing the familiar block of dried noodles.
Wen Ying began crushing the noodle block bit by bit. "I’m suddenly nostalgic for the way I used to eat instant noodles as a kid," she said. "Maybe a lot of you have never eaten them like this. When I was little, many of my friends did what I’m doing now. We’d crush the entire noodle block, sprinkle in the seasoning packet, and mix it all together. Then you just grab a handful and eat it. Ah, it’s been a while."
The fear that the audience had felt because of the sound seemed to subside as they listened to Wen Ying’s story.
They could even picture crushing the instant noodles and adding the seasoning, though they had no idea what it would taste like.
In the middle of the night, they suddenly got a craving to eat dry instant noodles!
Not the pre-packaged snack kind!
[Good thing I stocked up on a few boxes of instant noodles. I’m gonna try eating them Doctor Wen’s way right now and report back to everyone!]
[It’s the middle of the night and I’m drooling over a bag of crushed instant noodles! God knows I used to return them immediately if I ever bought one like this by mistake!]
[Are you guys even human, talking about this so late at night? After watching Doctor Wen’s stream, there’s no way I’m brave enough to go out and buy instant noodles! Waaaah!]
SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRITCH, SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRITCH.
The sound seemed to be coming from all directions.
’So disgusting!’
