Part 4 of Chapter 45
Do You Still Hate Her? 35 – Achieved Quadra Kill by accident
However, Ye Lu also knew that this was his mission. Because it was too dim to see clearly, he could only reach out and pat, saying, “What’s there? I couldn’t find anything.”
The girl’s voice sounded distressed, “No, it’s not on my side, turn around.”
Ye Lu really turned around, and immediately his face turned ashen, and he even began to break out in a cold sweat. He was so scared that he couldn’t even speak because of the extreme fear.
At the top of the partition behind him, there was a neat row of human heads.
Damn it, who stores heads like this?
[Ahhh, high alert!!!]
[SOS, who can handle this, it’s too terrifying, the visual impact is too strong!]
[Ye Lu, you’re in trouble.]
[Wait a minute, one of them doesn’t seem right.]
[Isn’t the innermost one a bit familiar?]
Ye Lu originally thought the restroom was too dark to see anything, but in this moment, his eyes seemed to have suddenly improved. Although he still couldn’t see the facial features of these heads, he felt like there were many pairs of eyes all looking at him at the same time.
Ye Lu wanted to give up, really.
But he vaguely remembered the bold promises he and Ou Yi had made to each other while evading the pursuit of the men in black earlier. He couldn’t afford to lose this game and lose face again.
If he could pass this level, his fans would surely think he was brave, forgetting that he had screamed while watching horror movies.
The opportunity to prove himself was now!
So, Ye Lu summoned all the courage he could muster and tried to make his voice sound reasonably calm as he asked, “There are many heads here. Which one is yours?”
After saying that, Ye Lu, still trying to save face, added, “A horror escape room? It’s just like this.”
The netizens were very shocked.
[D*mn, so calm? Ye Lu can really say such things?]
[He even dares to talk tough, he’s really fearless.]
But the fans immediately saw through it.
[He’s trembling all over, there’s a quiver in his voice, he’s just putting up a front.]
[Well, even though Ye Lu doesn’t want to be an actor, his recent acting has improved.]
[Hahaha, he doesn’t give Ye Lu any face at all.]
On the other side of the room, a female ghost’s voice sounded even more pitiful, “Take them one by one, whichever can be taken off is mine.”
Ye Lu was actually terrified, but the words had already come out, and now he could only stretch out his hands to touch those heads.
A row of six heads, all neatly lined up.
The first one he couldn’t move, no. The second one he couldn’t move, still not.
Until the last one.
“…Don’t pull so hard.”
The last head actually spoke to him, and the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Ye Lu felt like his instinct should be to scream or run, but at this moment, his brain had completely stopped working, his legs were weak, and he couldn’t run, and his throat couldn’t make a sound either.
In this situation, Ye Lu’s hands acted faster than his brain, and they had a difference of opinion. Although he was very scared, his hands actually seriously touched the person’s head he was holding.
Even though the wig was rough and cheap, he actually felt the smooth skin of a human being and even the sensation of bones beneath the skin. Ye Lu even felt the breath spraying on the back of his hand.
Could props really be this realistic? There’s no way props could be this lifelike!
This was a real human head! It looked like it had just been chopped off and was still alive!
Ye Lu still didn’t let go, because he had forgotten how to control his own hands. His brain and body seemed to have separated, and his neck felt like it was bearing a thousand-pound weight, making him too scared to lift his head and see what was going on.
And the person’s head seemed to be annoyed, suddenly struggling backward, and pulled out of his hand.
Ye Lu’s hand remained raised above his head, and he didn’t move a muscle.
On the other side of the partition, with her head finally regaining its freedom, Shang Lu lowered her head to take a look at the prop head resting on the sink nearby.
How could Ye Lu possibly succeed? After all, the only head that could be taken off was right here with her.
When Shang Lu entered the partition, she noticed the row of prop heads on top of it. After feeling around, only one of them came loose.
So, Shang Lu had a clever idea. She put on the wig she had been holding and put her own head up there to act as a decoy.
Originally, she had thought of saying hello or chatting with Ye Lu to startle him. However, she didn’t expect that Ye Lu’s task on the other side was to retrieve a head, so Ye Lu held her face and made her stunned for a moment.
From Ye Lu’s livestream perspective, this whole situation was like a horror movie, but from Shang Lu’s livestream perspective, it was a complete comedy.
[Shang Lu, you are truly the designated genius of this show, hahaha]
[The moment Shang Lu put her own head on the partition, I literally sprayed cola all over]
[I’m watching both of their livestreams on two phones simultaneously, and I’m laughing so hard that my dog thinks I’ve suddenly gone mad]
Meanwhile, the NPC girl on the other side had no idea what was happening. She was just angrily slamming her body against the partition separating her from Ye Lu, demanding, “Where’s my head? Where’s my head!”
But where did Ye Lu have a head to give her?
Ye Lu was still in shock.
“It’s right here, it’s right here!” Shang Lu’s voice cheerfully responded to the female ghost, and then she made a determined throw of the prop head she was holding toward the girl’s partition.
The head flew over, but it didn’t quite make it all the way. It fell into the partition between Shang Lu and the female ghost, and conveniently landed right on top of Ye Lu’s head.
Ye Lu instinctively reached out to catch the object falling from the sky, but the moment he realized it was a human head in his hand and met its gaze, he froze.
A human head, with a brain, skin, and the sense of breathing.
Although the workmanship of the severed head in his hand was crude, in that instant, what Ye Lu remembered was the genuine sensation he had just experienced.
“Ahhh—!!!”
Ye Lu’s scream echoed in the women’s restroom, and he used his last bit of rationality to press the button on his wristband.
[So, Ye Lu wasn’t fearless this time; he was just slow to react, hahaha.]
[He screamed so loudly, looked so terrified, while I’m laughing so joyfully.]
[Ye Lu, don’t be sad. Look at it from a different angle. You might have been eliminated, but you’re also liberated. Ou Yi next door is almost going crazy from the fright.]
[Let’s congratulate Shang Lu for achieving the Quadra KIll achievement! Though it’s a bit different from her original goal, she’s truly living up to her words! The real woman!]
[Shang Lu really went all out, even teammates weren’t spared 😈.]
[Shang Lu has never accepted this teammate in the first place! Let’s congratulate Shang Lu for eliminating her biggest threat in this game, hahaha.]
rokumi’s note : I’m someone who can’t handle horror at all, but reading this, Shang Lu’s antics made me laugh first before I have time to be scared.
Tbh. they really screwed Ye Lu over. He gets a task instead of a skill that activates when a certain amount of people have been eliminated but as the undercover agent’s subordinate he’s also tasked with eliminating others… @-@!
This chapter is really difficult to visualize
