Deceitful Game

Chapter 88 Snakes and Worms

Chapter 88 Snakes and Worms

Realizing that Mingpo was also gone, Ai Shiping felt a chill run through his body.

"No way?"

His voice trembled, and his breathing became heavy: "Dad, don't scare me—"

But no matter how much he pleaded, Mingpo would not reappear from around the corner.

Now, he is truly all alone.

—No, that's not quite right either.

After all, he can still see the viewers' comments on his phone.

This is a lifesaver!

The same horror game can evoke completely different feelings of fear when played alone versus when played live.

When you realize that you are really all alone, you may even have many illusions due to nervousness.

If you're playing alone, you can't be sure if the noises and sounds are real or if you're just hallucinating.

However, if he's playing during a live stream, even if he has thoughts like, "Have I been here before?" or "Was this painting on the wall before?", he'll be mercilessly judged by the viewers—"No, you're mistaken."

"Yes, you're blind and didn't see it."

Ai Shiping gripped his phone tightly, and seeing the scrolling comments, he felt much more at ease.

When?

Holy crap, that's seamless editing!

【How did you do that?】

Is this a pre-recorded video?

[Amazing! The two shots were taken at different times!]

Contrary to Ai Shiping's expectations, the audience didn't seem to care about the snake that crawled out of the toilet.

Or rather, they've already been scared once. That's a topic from the past.

But what they are focusing on now is—

"—Are the two shots different?"

As Ai Shiping repeated the comments, his eyes suddenly lit up.

His mind was indeed quite sharp—he understood in just a moment!

Mingbo did not go missing, nor did he encounter any accidents.

But one of them may have accidentally entered the "inner world." The master may have disappeared in the same way before—

At least Mingpo's camera is still recording normally, and the viewers on Ai Shiping's side can even see what's happening over there.

Mingpo couldn't see the comments, and Ai Shiping couldn't see what was happening on Mingpo's side either. He could only judge Mingpo's current situation from the audience's reactions—although judging was of little use.

It moved! It moved!

Wow, so handsome!

That was a vicious kick.

My husband kicked me.

Why is there no hair here?

Is the time here earlier?

That must be a pre-recorded broadcast.

From the few words he gleaned, Ai Shiping roughly deduced what Mingpo had done.

He probably came in to check since he hadn't come out. Then he kicked open the last toilet door, only to find there was no hair inside.

Is it a one-way communication?

Ai Shiping murmured softly, "If that's the case—"

Based on the patterns of the horror games he's played, it's very likely that they'll be separated to solve different puzzles.

Once everyone's puzzles are solved, they may still be able to reunite.

Because, judging from the audience's reaction, what they saw was different.

Therefore, it is very likely that everyone will have to deal with different puzzles.

If you follow the actions of "Mingbo" as seen by the audience, you may be able to reunite immediately during the next spatial transformation—but there is also the possibility that you will directly suffer a bad ending or be completely stuck in the puzzle because you are responsible for solving the puzzle.

That won't do.

Ai Shiping's gaze hardened and became more serious.

He has always preferred to rely on others—after all, he has many friends, and to be assertive and not rely on others would seem like being distant.

The saying goes, "When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

But if you are the tall one, then it's naturally your turn to step up.

He can smell what's hidden; Mingpo can find important clues.

Having the two of them overlap would be a waste of investigative resources.

"Brothers," Ai Shiping lowered his voice, "try to check my brother's footage as much as possible—where he went, what he saw, what he encountered, and remember to come back and tell me. Wherever he goes, I'll go to the other side to investigate, that way it'll be faster—the sooner we finish watching, the sooner we can leave, okay, brothers?"

[Dead]

He was cremated.

[Reincarnated]

Another baby has been born.

[My child]

"Hey, stop messing around."

Ai Shiping was both amused and exasperated: "Thank you so much, thank you brothers—but of course, don't all go over there. Leave a few people to keep me company and talk to me."

As he said this, he felt a little thirsty.

But that's normal. He'd been talking for almost half an hour straight, so it's understandable that his mouth was dry.

He turned on the tap, intending to get a drink of water.

However, after Ai Shiping turned on the tap, he only heard an empty "slurping" sound.

It sounded like the water supply had just been restored after a water outage, and the entire water pipe was vibrating.

But that's normal.

After all, there hasn't been a water supply here for quite some time—no, if the water bill hasn't been paid, the water supply might have been cut off altogether.

Ai Shiping sighed with some regret and reached out to turn the faucet back on.

Surprisingly, even though Ai Shiping had turned the faucet off completely, the hollow sound and vibration did not stop.

Instead, they became even more aggressive, as if they had been provoked.

Ai Shiping immediately became alert, took two steps back, and moved away from the pool.

The next moment, all the faucets on the sink started spinning rapidly at the same time, as if an invisible hand was turning them.

Immediately afterwards, a foul-smelling, blackish-yellow liquid sprayed out of the tap.

Accompanied by translucent mucus, countless black snakes burst forth from it!

No—that might not be a black snake either.

It could also be some kind of exceptionally large worm, or perhaps a delicate tentacle—

It was like throwing a large basin of live loaches into a pool, and these black monsters were instantly activated.

Foul-smelling, dark yellow sewage splashed out, traveling three or four meters. It also threw many black snakes far away, one of which even flew onto the wall opposite the sink.

Meanwhile, the faucet continued to spew out black snakes. Before they could even fill the entire pool, they had already raised their heads, baring their fangs and claws, and quickly crawled out in all directions.

Most importantly—they can not only crawl, they can even jump!

Ai Shiping watched as a slick, glistening, and slimy body, twisted and contorted, shot out and landed beside him.

He instinctively moved the camera over and captured its open, sharp teeth with crystal clarity!

This strange creature seemed to have no eyes, but its head, which opened in a ring shape, had several whorls of teeth.

It defiantly opened its mouth towards Ai Shiping—its head suddenly swelled several times larger, originally only able to accommodate a finger, but now able to swallow an entire hand!

Holy crap!

A gasp of surprise escaped his lips.

Without hesitation, Ai Shiping turned and ran!
