Free Web NovelChapter 1506: Chapter 911: Cooperation (Part 2)
He didn’t know if Jiang Qingluan would agree to his risky plan. After all, this matter affected more than just himself. If he failed and got killed, breaking the balance, no one knew if the Door-knocking Ghost would continue to hunt Jiang Qingluan.
If it continued the hunt, Jiang Qingluan, left alone, would undoubtedly face certain death.
And if both of them died, Chu Xi, left alone, would find it difficult to support everything, and this mission could largely be declared a failure, total annihilation.
Chen Nang never placed any hope on Liu Yang, Shu Shuang, and the others, never ever.
In the Nightmare World, it’s not the bad teammates one fears, but the foolish ones. A villain’s calculated plans are no match for a fool’s spur-of-the-moment actions. Chen Nang had suffered greatly from this, as these guys not only harmed themselves but also endangered many others.
However, what Chen Nang didn’t expect was that Jiang Qingluan, not far from him, was frantically gesturing to him. After understanding her signals, a wave of shock struck Chen Nang. This girl was actually eyeing that piece of paper, and she planned to take action personally, requiring his cooperation.
Chen Nang couldn’t help but admire Jiang Qingluan’s courage; she was indeed a formidable character.
Simultaneously, he subconsciously felt grateful for meeting these people this time. Chu Xi, Jiang Qingluan, Zhou Mingxiao, Munan... any one of these guys could handle things alone and were qualified to lead a team through less challenging missions.
In the time that followed, Chen Nang closely cooperated with Jiang Qingluan. The two joined forces and successfully retrieved the piece of paper tucked in the Door-knocking Ghost’s suit pocket.
The dangers in the process were indescribable. Even someone with Chen Nang’s big heart couldn’t help but sweat for Jiang Qingluan.
Luckily, it was thrilling but without danger.
This wasn’t the first time Chen Nang had taken things from a Ghost, but that time was different. He was bold but not reckless; after confirming the Waist-breaking Ghost’s method of killing, he believed he had more than a 90% chance of success.
But this time, Chen Nang calculated in his mind that if he tried, he might only have a 60% chance, and in actual operation, maybe only 50%.
Gradually, Chen Nang developed a strong interest in Jiang Qingluan, which had nothing to do with romance; he realized she was the same kind of person as him.
Soon, footsteps came from the other side of the corridor, not the heavy, oppressive footsteps of a Fierce Ghost, but quick with a hint of urgency.
"Chu Xi, we’re here!" Jiang Qingluan, being closer, seemed to see the newcomer, waving excitedly.
It wasn’t that she was not vigilant, but she saw the DV camera in Yang Xiao’s hand and those eyes of his.
At that moment, she confirmed Yang Xiao’s identity.
Seeing Jiang Qingluan’s guarded stance, Yang Xiao immediately understood that the Door-knocking Ghost was nearby, but because he held the DV camera, he couldn’t see it.
And seeing that Jiang Qingluan was still alive, the weight on his heart was finally lifted.
"Take it, put your hand on it." Yang Xiao handed over the DV camera, gesturing to Jiang Qingluan to hold it.
Before, Yang Xiao had speculated whether the DV camera had a user limit, and this was a chance to verify.
As Jiang Qingluan placed her hand on it, the next second, the Door-knocking Ghost, which had been charging at her, seemed to lose its target instantly, spinning in place, then violently crashing into the wall, and next heading for Chen Nang, who was further away.
But in the following second, when Jiang Qingluan removed her hand from the DV camera, the Door-knocking Ghost seemed to suddenly see her again, turned back, continued banging into the wall, with its target once again focused on Jiang Qingluan.
It seems clear now, the DV camera could indeed be used by more than one person.
Because of the distance, Yang Xiao couldn’t see Chen Nang from his position. As Jiang Qingluan signaled, Yang Xiao finally noticed a blurry figure in the mist on the other side of the corridor.
New to this scenario, Yang Xiao didn’t waste any words and followed Jiang Qingluan’s directions. Quickly, the three of them converged in a clever way, and with all three placing their hands on the DV camera, the Door-knocking Ghost disappeared.
At this moment, Chen Nang and Jiang Qingluan finally breathed out a sigh of relief, knowing they wouldn’t die tonight.
The Door-knocking Ghost hadn’t disappeared, but became invisible and unable to affect them. fгeewebnovёl.com
If not counting the Source Ghost, then this Door-knocking Ghost was undoubtedly the scariest one, almost pushing veteran players like Chen Nang and Jiang Qingluan to the brink.
After helping Jiang Qingluan and Chen Nang escape danger, Yang Xiao immediately set out, maintaining a triangular formation with the three of them as they moved.
Just as they reached the iron gate of the safe passage, the DV camera, now running, seemed to encounter some interference. The image became unstable, snow appeared on the screen, accompanied by fluttering lines.
A faint, strange noise emanated from the DV camera, a ’swoosh’ sound as if something swiftly crawling across the ground.
The Source Ghost had appeared, only manifesting at the last moment of the night. Although there was no record of it killing at night so far, Yang Xiao and the others dared not gamble.
At this moment, the qualities of veteran players shone through. The trio quickened their pace, acting in urgency but not in chaos; everything proceeded methodically, their three hands never leaving the DV camera.
Yang Xiao and the others knew well that the Door-knocking Ghost was not far away, and its threat could not be overlooked.
The three smoothly left the 18th-floor fire scene, descending to the 17th floor through the safe passage, and quickly returned near the office. Surprisingly, the office door was open, with no shadow behind it.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xiao and the others’ hearts sank. They expected someone would die in the office tonight, but they hadn’t anticipated everyone dead.
Although no bodies were seen, the open office door was already a strong hint.
One could only guess what had transpired during their absence, but it seemed someone had stepped into a trap, leading to the demise of both people.
The most troubling issue now was they had no idea what was inside; perhaps entering could lead to being ambushed and killed by a Fierce Ghost lurking behind the door.
Yet, they had to go in. The Source Ghost had already appeared. Listening to the increasingly clear "swoosh" sound from the DV camera indicated the Source Ghost was drawing closer, bringing unprecedented pressure.
As they neared the open door, the three instinctively slowed down, a subconscious reaction.
In the next second, before Yang Xiao could react, someone dashed forward.
It was Jiang Qingluan, a scene that took Yang Xiao and Chen Nang by complete surprise. As they gathered their senses, Jiang Qingluan had already stormed through the door, quickly surveying her surroundings, trying to locate any lurking ghosts or danger in the room.
"Get in quickly!" Not detecting anything unusual, Jiang Qingluan shouted to the two outside.
With Yang Xiao and Chen Nang rushing in, the trio was reunited. Jiang Qingluan’s previous actions were equivalent to braving a minefield with her body; had there been danger in the room, she’d undoubtedly have perished.
Yet, it was the lesser evil. Otherwise, entering together might have resulted in more than just one death.
Regarding Jiang Qingluan’s actions, Yang Xiao and Chen Nang couldn’t help but feel admiration and a slight sense of shame. The two considered themselves experts, yet a woman had to take the risk. Such stories could ruin reputations.
Nonetheless, this didn’t distract Yang Xiao. He raised the DV camera, filming outside from behind the door. The next second, the scene on the screen startled everyone. A distorted human figure had just crawled out from the distant fire escape iron door. Moving on all fours at great speed, it crossed half the corridor in the blink of an eye, rushing toward them. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Chen Nang acted swiftly, closing the door just as the monster lunged and secured the lock immediately.
Holding the DV camera, Yang Xiao’s mind was unsettled for a long time, the image of the monster leaping forward burned in his memory.
It was a person with all their bones fractured; the cervical spine was broken, their head eerily drooped on the chest, with a cracked skull. Most disturbingly, the twisted hand that reached for them had only three fingers.
