The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 4
Chapter 4: The First Player to Die
????? ????? ?????
“Shen, Shen Ruo, I need to go to the restroom.”
In the hospital corridor, the overhead lights flickered as they passed the public restroom. Holding his stomach, Zhu Daqiang had a grimace on his face.
In horror movies, going to the restroom alone was practically equivalent to seeking death. Zhu Daqiang could only hope that Shen Ruo would accompany him.
Shen Ruo furrowed his brows, indifferently saying, “Go quickly and come back.”
Seeing Shen Ruo coldly ignoring his plea, a hint of bitterness crossed Zhu Daqiang’s eyes.
These experienced players didn’t care about the life or death of new players; they even used them as stepping stones.
Although Zhu Daqiang felt unwilling, his stomach pain worsened, and he had to hurry into the abandoned restroom.
“Drip-drip—drip-drip—”
The rusty faucet slowly dripped onto the sink covered in yellow stains.
Zhu Daqiang quickly unbuckled his belt, hoping for a swift resolution so he could return to the team.
“Drip-drip—drip-drip—”
?I don’t know if I’m seeing things, did any of you see it??
?See what? I didn’t see anything!?
?I saw it, there was a woman’s figure flashing on the tiles just now.?
In room 89’s live broadcast, the barrage continued to pop up.
Zhu Daqiang, upon seeing the content in the barrage, felt his heart skip a beat. His gaze involuntarily shifted towards the tiles, finding nothing, he couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Drip, drip…”
Zhu Daqiang felt a sudden chill on his neck; instinctively thinking it was a leak from the restroom ceiling, he raised his hand to wipe it.
“Ah—”
A miserable scream.
Zhu Daqiang’s palm was covered in fresh blood.
“Drip, drip…”
“Are you looking for me?”
From above, a sinister voice echoed.
Trembling, Zhu Daqiang looked up, seeing a woman hanging upside down from the ceiling, her mouth twisted to her ears, a distorted smile.
“You found me.”
The woman’s hollow eye sockets were filled with blood, and blood dripped into Zhu Daqiang’s mouth.
“Ah—”
Another tragic scream.
“Drip, drip…”
Everything returned to calm.
“Why hasn’t No. 89 come back yet?”
Zhou Ya seemed slightly impatient.
“Should we go look for him?” Lin Zizhou suggested.
The group walked back through the hospital corridors, only to horrifyingly discover there were no restrooms.
Suddenly, a chill spread through limbs as fear gripped everyone…
Meanwhile,
Qing Li slapped the left side of the female ghost’s face, then the right, watching gifts pour into the live stream, her eyes squinting in delight.
[“Wow, if I hadn’t followed this stream for so long, I’d suspect the ghost is fake.”]
[“Can someone tell me why sticking a talisman on the ghost’s head makes her freeze?”]
[“I’m seriously doubting the village girl’s identity. Is she the legendary charlatan?”]
(Charlatan: ??????? ?????????? ?? ???? ??????? ????????? ?? ????????? ?? ??????? ??????.)
The in-game store had items to restrain ghosts, but they couldn’t directly harm them, unless they were expensive or special items.
But the village girl was just a rookie in the live stream, with no popularity to buy expensive items.
And they had never even seen a talisman before.
After slapping the ghost silly, Qing Li stopped.
“Well, does anyone else have any requests? If not, we’ll bid farewell to Sister Ghost.” Qingli innocently smiled.
[“Suddenly feel sorry for the ghost!”]
[“I have a bold idea, this ghost has a good figure, can the village girl…”]
[“Upstairs, pharmacy, answer!”]
Seeing the playful comments, Qing Li snapped her fingers, and the yellow talisman on the ghost’s head instantly turned to ashes.
“I’m going to tear you into pieces—”
The freed ghost’s eyes turned bloodshot, never having experienced such humiliation. She raised her decayed, bony claws and pounced at Qing Li.
Qing Li shook her head, feeling the ghost was really amateurish, always resorting to the same move.
“For helping me earn so much popularity, I’ll give you a quick and painless end.”
Qing Li grinned, swiftly formed a hand seal, and whispered a word as the female ghost lunged at her. In that moment, she lightly uttered a single word: “Annihilate.”
“Crack—crack—crack—”
The female ghost’s body contorted incessantly, the sound of bones breaking sending shivers through the livestream audience. She spat blood, her throat emitting a reluctant roar.
“Bang—”
As the female ghost’s eyeballs burst, her body turned to powder, vanishing completely from this world.
The livestream fell into an eerie silence.
The female ghost… was dead…
[“I can’t believe it, the girl from the village eliminated the female ghost?”]
[“Who can slap me? I feel like I hallucinated while watching the livestream.”]
[“Ah, I seem to have witnessed something incredible. This is the first time in history that a human has eradicated a ghost.”]
The livestream room erupted.
Qing Li, overwhelmed with a continuous stream of gifts, couldn’t stop smiling. Clearly, she was unaware that her recent actions were enough to go down in history for the livestream audience.
Notification: Ding, Player 100 Qingli eliminates a low-level ghost, rewarded with a special item ‘Female Ghost’s Resentment.’
This item is a consumable curse.
A cold mechanical voice echoed in Qingli’s mind.
Qing Li noticed a small finger bone-like object in her consciousness, emitting a faint black aura, giving off an ominous feeling.
“The people behind this livestream are really stingy. I worked so hard to eliminate a ghost, and they gave me this lousy little thing.” Qing Li complained with a disdainful expression.
The cold mechanical sound rang out again: “Don’t give it back to me.”
“Think beautifully, what’s mine is mine.” Qing Li bared her teeth.
System:…
“Ah—”
Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the calm.
Qing Li collected her scattered thoughts, feeling the scream was familiar.
“Kill me, kill me…”
The scream became clearer, as if it were just nearby.
Qing Li pushed open the door of the operating room. The corridor lights had a faint crimson glow, and the air was thick with the smell of blood. The doors of the operating rooms were wide open, like ominous gaping mouths, eerie and terrifying.
Qing Li walked forward cautiously, passing by the first operating room. She turned her head to look, and her pupils contracted.
On the operating table lay a dissected corpse, its body mummified, gleaming with a dark luster, like smoked bacon.
In the second operating room, there lay a body, but it was severely decomposed, with maggots faintly visible beneath the flesh.
The third room…
The fourth room…
The fifth room…
In each operating room, there was a pitiful corpse, but the bodies became fresher with each one.
In the last operating room, Qing Li saw—Number 89…
