Welcome to the Nightmare Game

When he left the cave, it was already dawn. Qi Leren reflected on how long he had slept, then he looked at the goddess. Her complexion looked good; she probably did rest herself too.

At daybreak, three blue beams connected the sky one after another. When Qi Leren looked back, the nearest one to them should be the beam of the tower that had just risen. This light actually passed through the stratum, and he didnt know what power it was.

It seems that three towers have been unsealed. The tower in the east has not been. Lets go there and have a look. Maybe we can unlock the last tower. Qi Leren said to Ning Zhou.

Just as the words fell, far away in the east of the forest, the fourth beam shot up into the sky.

Blackbird: LOLOL.

Qi Leren:

His face hurt.

But this time, he can finally team up with the goddess, which was no small progress.

The system prompt will appear soon: [The first step for the sacrifice of the witch: unseal the seals on the four-sided tower. 4/4 of the currently unlocked four-sided tower. Unlock the second step: sacrifice the underground palace.]

[Task background: There are countless undead wandering in the underground palace of the demon, among which seven are dead witch candidates, who are about to awaken from the abyss of death under the power of the demon After the sacrifice is completed, all surviving players are deemed to have completed the task.]

[Teleportation countdown. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, teleportation completed.]

Qi Leren only saw a light beam rising under his feet. He looked at Ning Zhou in consternation and found that she was wrapped in a beam of light, too. The picture in front of him changed rapidly, making him dizzy. When everything came to a standstill, Qi Leren found himself standing in a dark room, and the candlestick on the wall was burning, bringing some faint light to the room.

He was alone.

With quiet all around, Qi Leren didnt rush out to find someone, but changed his skills in the card slot first.

The skill of Rain-Day Laundry was put back into the package since it was cooling down. Although this skill has saved him several times, now he has no time to wait for it to cool down. Lets give priority to fighting skills and S/L skills. After equipping his skills, Qi Leren thought about the present situation.

The system gave him a hint, but it was ambiguous. According to his understanding, this task was needed to complete the final sacrifice, but the hint of the system was vague. Instead, it takes seven dead witch candidates as an important hint, that is to say, they need to deal with these witch candidates first. But theyll have to further figure out whether it is logical puzzle solving or a violent unsealing.

Now it seems that after the opening of the four sealed towers, all the surviving players have been sent and scattered in the sacrificial underground palace. The system said that there are dead souls wandering in the underground palace, but it also said that the dead witch candidates are about to awaken, that is to say, these should be small BOSS characters, but theyve not awakened yet.

To complete the final sacrifice, you need to wake them before they can be dealt with. Do you need the flesh and blood of the living just like the seal tower? No, it was impossible. The number of people was too small. Four people have been sacrificed in the four seal towers. Together with the players who were killed by giant attacks, at least five people have died. The remaining witch candidates are at most eight, probably even less than seven. Then this method was probably not used, otherwise it would be practically a complete annihilation. So why should the system specifically state that all the surviving players are regarded as completing the task?

So some condition must be triggered to wake up the dead witch candidates? What are the specific conditions then

Qi Leren thinks more and more, and his thoughts become more disordered, so he could only to shelve this problem first. He plans to explore it, and then leaves the room to find others.

Fortunately, the prompt given by the system didnt appear immediately, which made them face to face with each other. At the very least, before dealing with the dead witch candidate, they should still be able to cooperate. Otherwise, now he not only has to worry about wandering spirits, but he also has to worry about threats from the players and NPCs.

The room Qi Leren is in looks like a bedroom, but the ground and bed have accumulated a thick layer of dust, with even the cobwebs covered with dust, which seems to have been deserted for a long time. He checked the wardrobe, cabinet and other places, and there was nothing. It was like an abandoned sleeping hall, no one had set foot in it.

It seems that sending him here has no special significance, just pure coincidence.

After thinking, Qi Leren settled his mind and opened the door of the room with a dagger in one hand.

Outside is a corridor, every few meters there is a burning candlestick made from an unknown material. It could unexpectedly burn up to now. The ground is paved with marble. From a distance, it reflects candlesticks one after another, like an underwater road.

The surroundings were quiet, but it was cold. Qi Leren wrapped his coat tightly, studied only half of the map, and found that his location should not be within the range of the map, so he continued to walk forward with light steps.

In the emptiness and silence, Qi Leren suddenly felt something. This kind of invisible feeling is very subtle and indescribable, but he just felt that someone was approaching. At the corner up ahead, Qi Leren stopped and held his breath against the dusty wall, clutching a dagger in his hand.

The candlesticks on both sides of the corridor glowed with yellow light, and he listened quietly to his heartbeat, waiting for a certain feeling.

Theyre coming.

A slight footstep came from the corner, and a figure flashed out. Qi Leren pressed the person against the wall without thinking, and the dagger touched their throat. The person screamed and trembled for mercy: Dont, dont kill me

Qi Leren narrowed his eyes slightly, and the girl he pressed against the wall had flaxen hair and deep facial features, so she should be an NPC. However, having had experience with Anna, he touched the waist of the person and confirmed that she didnt have the players belt before whispering: Who are you?

I my name is Aisha. The girl answered in horror.

Aisha? Do you have a sister? Qi Leren immediately thought of the task they received from Ellie when they were in the carriage.

Right, right, her name is Ellie. Have you seen her? Aisha was so happy and afraid that she coughed and turned pale because of emotional excitement.

Qi Leren remembered that Ellie said that her sister wasnt in good health. He felt that Aisha should be harmless, so he let go of her hand: I will take you to her, she asked me before.

Thank you! Aisha said excitedly.

With a temporary companion, Qi Lerens tense mood relaxed a little. They talked in a low voice and walked on: So, you didnt know about the sacrifice before?

Aisha nodded: Mom and Dad didnt tell me, and people in the village didnt talk about it, but every three years, several girls would always disappear Isabel, who was sent with me this time, should know something. Her sister was sent as a sacrifice three years ago, and then never came back.

This topic is too heavy for Aisha. Her eyes turned red and she murmured: I dont know what happened to Ellie, Im so worried about her

Dont worry, a beautiful girl like her will be safe. A voice came from behind the two, and Qi Leren jumped up and watched in horror as Lu Youxin appeared behind them.

Lu Youxin smiled at him: Hey, bogus girl, we meet again.

He didnt want to see her at all.

Have you seen Ellie? Aisha got excited at once.

Oh, Ive seen her outside before. Your sister isnt bad. Liu Youxin licked her lips, a face of appreciation as she spoke.

Qi Leren feels that this not bad seems to hold a deeper meaning. Lets light a candle for the loli who is zeroed in by a pervert.

How long have you been with us? Qi Leren asked.

Not long, probably when you came out of the room? I happened to be nearby. Lu Youxin was calm, with no guilt about stalking them.

Have you caught up with Ye Xia? Qi Leren asked again. He was really curious about it.

Lu Youxin curled her lips: The revolution has not been successful, and this comrade still needs to work hard.

It seems that Ye Xia escaped, Qi Leren thought with relief.

Hey, something is coming. Lu Youxin suddenly raised her head and looked behind the Qi Leren.

Qi Leren was suddenly surprised. At the end of the dark corridor in the distance, where the candle lit up, an invisible white shadow stood there, quietly watching them. The next second, it suddenly crossed the distance of tens of meters and appeared beside Qi Leren. Qi Leren leaned back with unusual agility, and his arm held out in front of him passed through the body of the dead, which was bitterly cold.

Equipped with primary fighting skills, he responded flexibly, and the dagger swung across at where the ghost was, but it didnt have any effect. Qi Leren made a quick decision and cut his arm. The dagger dipped in blood finally touched the ghost, and the dead let out a sharp howl, making his eardrums ache. It threw itself at Qi Leren!

A light sound, a blue and white flame rises from the feet of Qi Leren and the undead are burned in the flames. The flame seems to contain holy power, and the burnt undead send out shrieks and finally turn into ashes in the flame.

Lu Youxin, who was guarding Aisha behind him, shook her head and looked at Qi Leren like he was an idiot: Youre wild, attacking this ghost using physical attacks.

Qi Leren held his bleeding arm as he rolled his eyes. Would he go as far as to hurt himself if there are other ways to attack? Truly oblivious to others plight!

The Qi Leren who was treating his wounds saw that Aisha, who was shivering, was well protected by Lu Youxin and complained: Im sure now that you only have girls in your eyes.

Thats true. Lu Youxin proudly said, In my eyes, there are three kinds of girls. The cool girl on the preparatory stage, the cool girl in the active stage, and the cool girl in the retired stage. All need to be well protected.

Qi Leren ridiculed her: What if she doesnt look good, what if the chest isnt big enough?

Lu Youxins face sank, staring at Qi Lerens chest coldly. Thats not a girl, its a female primate. Oh, youre not even this kind, youre the kind at the bottom of the food chain.

Qi Leren: What a bitch, I really want to slap her!
