Chapter 246: A Teddy Bear
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Xuan walked down feeling the stairs. Suddenly, he felt that his palm was a little wet, as if there was something on the handrail of the stairs.
With the help of the moonlight shining in through the window, he raised his hand and looked at it.
“Ah! Blood!” Li Xuan screamed and almost fainted.
His hand was full of mottled, sticky blood, and it was even slowly flowing down his palm.
“Li Xuan, your volume has reached 77 decibels. You’ll be punished at the end of this segment.”
When the mechanical voice sounded, Li Xuan realized that he had been too loud. Unfortunately, it was of no use.
Ye Xing was also startled by Li Xuan, but she was used to being observant in the entertainment industry and was very good at controlling her expression and voice, so her first reaction when she felt scared was to cover her mouth tightly.
This allowed Ye Xing to avoid the punishment.
Yan Ruo was not afraid of these things. After all, he was someone who had seen blood both inside and outside the show.
He had also discovered back in the ancient village that Bai Lin who had grown up now was not afraid of the dark at all. The former most valuable mercenary, Bilina, was even less afraid of blood. However, Bai Lin seemed to have changed her fear of the dark into something else.
After the corridor turned dark, Bai Lin muttered something from time to time.
For a moment, it was “How could this kind of thing scare people? Only a silly boy like Li Xuan, who’s been protected since young, would be so scared that he would scream.”
Then, it was “The doors behind can’t be kicked or smashed. There’s not enough time to just rely on the keys. It’s better to prepare some iron wires when you’re out. Who knows when you’ll need to pry open the doors?”
Yan Ruo was the closest to Bai Lin. These words were more like self-comforting words. He could see that under Bai Lin’s strong and rough appearance, there was a timid and fragile little girl who needed love.
Finally, Bai Lin could not take it anymore.
If it was a quiet and dark environment, Bai Lin would be able to deal with it. As long as someone talked to her, or if she could talk to herself, the fear and uneasiness she felt would be alleviated.
However, all kinds of noises in the corridor rushed into her ears, making her impatient. She desperately needed an outlet to vent her anger.
“Xiao Lin, are you okay?” Yan Ruo very quickly noticed that her mumbling tone had become anxious and her speed of speaking also increased, so he asked with concern.
“Me? I’m fine.” The moment Bai Lin opened her mouth, she was the smart, calm, and capable Bai Lin again.
“If you’re afraid, you can grab my arm.” Yan Ruo lowered his head and looked at Bai Lin, who was like a fl.u.s.tered little bird. He smiled gently as he set a trap for the little bird Bai Lin.
“Ah? I don’t need it, I’m not afraid.” Bai Lin frowned slightly. How did he see through her?
Although Bai Lin said that she did not need any help and did not want to be seen as afraid of the dark, her body maintained a rare sincerity as she quietly moved closer to Yan Ruo.
Yan Ruo knew that she was trying to put on a brave front, so he did not expose her. Instead, he adjusted his movements and pace to match Bai Lin’s. This way, Bai Lin might be able to sense that there was someone of her kind here.
At this time, the few of them had successfully left the fifth floor and arrived at the stairs on the fourth floor. The fourth floor was not as dark as the fifth floor, but the deep red lights were more terrifying. The comments section was filled with fear.
[Production crew, don’t be too ridiculous. What if this kind of setting really scares people out of their wits?]
[It’s not that bad this time. The inspiration for this floor is from the Scarlet Castle dungeon in “The World”. It really feels like it.]
[I think so too. It seems like the Abyss production team has really contacted The World Team. The director of the abyss is so awesome!]
The Scarlet Castle dungeon was a very difficult dungeon in “The World”. It was famous for its strange and terrifying scenes as well as the huge contrast of the dungeon boss.
The boss of this dungeon was a teddy bear, but its right eye was only half a b.u.t.ton, and its left ear had been torn open, revealing a lot of cotton. There were several wounds on its left arm, and there was a big hole in its right knee. Its body was also covered in blood, which seemed to be both old and new blood overlapping each other.
When such an image appeared in the game, it was enough to scare the players.
Now, the teddy bear appeared on the fourth floor’s staircase with its b.u.t.ton-made eyes staring straight at the group!
