Chapter 184: The Senior Failed!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Following Fang Qi’s route yesterday, Nalan Hongwu soon opened the door and saw the monster named Pyramid Head torturing the mannequins.
Nalan Hongwu’s face turned stiff on the screen. “…”
A moment later, he said, “Since I made the promise, I’ll let this monster attack me three times first! You’ll see that there’s nothing to be afraid of with this monster!”
With that said, he walked directly toward the monster and poked it with the stick. “You! Attack me!”
The monster turned its head slowly. “…”
Then, it released a huge wave of suppression!
Nalan Hongwu frowned when an extremely weird feeling rose in him.
He had never seen this scene, this monster, and everything here before, but he felt familiar with these things for some reason, as if they corresponded with something that had been sealed inside him for a long time!
Just as that saying went, “100 players see 100 different Silent Hills.”
This monster was different from the one that Fang Qi encountered. It walked over slowly, but instead of attacking Nalan Hongwu, it squirmed and reached up to grab the triangular headgear as if it were trying to tear the headgear apart to reveal the things hidden inside!
Nalan Hongwu was startled, feeling like the thing hidden inside the headgear was the thing that was sealed deep inside his mind!
Subconsciously, he drew out the gun and shot it!
Instead of hunting him down, this Pyramid Head retreated as if it followed his will.
“Senior beat the monster away?!”
“Senior is so strong!”
“Yeah. The shop owner only taught people how to shut the door. Look! Senior is strong!” Nalan Mingxue commented as well.
The audience didn’t feel anything wrong with this scene; they even thought that Nalan Hongwu should feel elated after beating the monster away.
However, this scene had a different meaning in Nalan Hongwu’s eyes!
Is it an illusion? Nalan Hongwu shook his head and stared at the Pyramid Head that was running away.
Each monster in Silent Hill had its unique meaning. In Silent Hill 2, each monster was the manifested fear hidden deep in the main character or other people in the game. Although Pyramid Head didn’t change its look, it seemed to have touched something deep inside Nalan Hongwu.
Then, he quickly exited from the game!
“I suddenly remembered that I must handle some urgent business in the family. I’ll stop here!” Nalan Hongwu stroked his beard and said, “Elder Fu, let’s head back!”
“Okay! Master!”
The people watched them leave the internet cafe. It was summer, and they wore thin clothes.
“How come the Senior’s shirt is clinging to his back?”
“It’s hot today. I guess he sweated a lot from sitting there for such a long time…” Nalan Mingxue said.
“Is it so hot today?!” Jiang Xiaoyue lean tilted her head to one side in bafflement.
All the people thought, Maybe the Senior got scared so much that he doesn’t dare to continue playing it…
“He had it coming…” Fang Qi looked around and said, “Who else wants to play it?”
Xiao Yulv said, “Me!”
Fang Qi’s face turned dark. How come this guy is still here?
“I’ll play it.” Although Su Tianji didn’t know what had frightened Senior Nalan, she was fearless and was greatly inspired by Senior Nalan’s suicidal play style!
She never imagined that this game could be played this way!
It was interesting!
Su Tianji couldn’t wait to try it so that she could redeem herself.
“Sir! Do you dare to do this in tomorrow’s livestream?”
“Yeah! We weren’t even a little afraid while watching it!” Instead of being frightened, Dong Qingli found today’s viewing experience quite fun!
“The owner frightened us when he did the livestream!” Jiang Xiaoyue complained, “He was scared himself and still tried to scare us.”
“Ugh…” Fang Qi’s face turned black, thinking, It is already good enough that I’m livestreaming it for you!
On the screen, Su Tianji now also started to use the suicidal play style.
“Look! Sister Su is also playing this way!”
“You’re supposed to call her Auntie Su!” Fang Qi’s face turned dark.
“If the owner doesn’t play the game this way, I won’t watch it tomorrow,” Jiang Xiaoyue said in a pout, “Or I will have another sleepless night.”
“I agree!” Dong Qingli said, “When I watched the shop owner play, even the parts that weren’t supposed to be scary were frightening.”
“I agree!” Nalan Mingxue added immediately in her calm tone, “If the shop owner plays this way tomorrow, we’ll watch it. Otherwise, none of us will watch!”
“I agree whole-heartedly!” Xiao Yulv said, “We’ll just watch my auntie play; why should we watch the shop owner’s livestream?”
The moment he said it, Su Tianji failed and was caught by the mannequin. Without the close-range combat skill, she swung the stick crazily and tried to fight off this monster.
Xiao Yulv’s face instantly twitched.
Everyone said, “This is indeed more fun to watch!”
Fang Qi’s face turned dark at the comparison, wondering why people had already begun competing for viewers in this world.
Fortunately, he was the fastest player in Silent Hill. With the increase in his mental strength, he was no longer as afraid as before. Fang Qi said, “Tomorrow, I’ll show you the real suicidal play style! You’ll find that Senior Nalan’s style is nothing!”
He suddenly felt like he was digging his grave when he said that.
Fang Qi looked a little awkward, thinking that it was just a game, and nothing big would happen if he played it differently.
However, thinking of the Senior who had just failed, Fang Qi felt uneasy.
“You’re bluffing!” Jiang Xiaoyue looked unconvinced!
“What real suicidal play style?! Are there different styles and factions in playing games?”
The people around Fang Qi rolled their eyes. “Sir, we watched your performance yesterday, and it can be described with one word – cowardly.”
…
“What do you think of Nalan Hongwu?” Ji Wuyou sat on the edge of the cliff in his courtyard with a chess piece in his hand.
“When Dajin was newly established, there were all kinds of enemies, including the major forces inside the country and in the neighboring countries.” A black figure appeared behind Ji Wuyou. “In that era, all kinds of heroes emerged!”
“I remember that.” Ji Wuyou said with a chuckle. “I remember that Nalan Hongwu gained his fame in the battle of Sky Prison (Tian Lao) Mountain, right?”
“Yes!”
“However…” Ji Wuyou put down this black chess piece and said, “It’s said that there are some secrets in this battle. I wonder if it’s true…”
