This was…

This world had monsters and demons, but no one had seen this kind of creature!

In this creepy environment, even an ordinary monster would scare them out of their wits!

This monster was the visualized fear and evilness in the players’ mind. Fang Qi found that the monsters on the screens shared a general shape. But at a closer look, the details were different. For example, the monster on Su Tianji’s screen had many hands, as if they were trying to burst out from the cracks of its body!

The monster before Song Qingfeng had crimson eyes on its chest and belly!

The monsters before these players were more twisted and scarier than the original version!

Fang Qi’s face twitched as he wondered if the System had built up a real Silent Hill in the game.

As someone who was familiar with this game, Fang Qi knew the creepiness of this place more than others and that it had special forces which could materialize people’s deep thoughts.

The people who had dark thoughts hidden inside their minds would easily fall into an alternate world.

This monster was obviously the product of the main character’s dark thoughts combined with the players’ own dark emotions, such as bitterness and stress.

Since it concerned their inner emotions, it would give the latter powerful mental suggestions!

However, if the players had no or very few bad thoughts, then the monster would look like the original version in Silent Hill 2; the monster before Shen Qingqing was an example of such.

Anyway, under the heightened creepiness of the atmosphere, the monsters looked quite scary. Even Nalan Hongwu froze at the sight!

The girls had the urge to huddle together!

Covering her eyes, Jiang Xiaoyue screamed, “What’s this damned thing?!”

She wasn’t afraid of demons, but this was too much!

More importantly, the main character in the game was an ordinary guy without any special abilities!

If he had warrior qi, the players would feel better, but now, they didn’t even dare to touch this thing for fear that they would be snatched by it!

If they didn’t beat it, there wasn’t an escape route to them!

Fortunately, the monsters at the beginning of Silent Hill weren’t too strong. Besides, the players were accomplished warriors, including the girls, and thus were quite bold.

Shen Qingqing gave the monster a vicious kick and then ran at top speed. Song Qingfeng and the others who had learned the close-range combat skill from Resident Evil gave the monsters some punches before dashing out with screams!

Su Tianji thought, I don’t have any fighting abilities!

She felt crazy with fear!

Fortunately, her mind was much stronger than others. When she was forced into a corner, she fought her way out with clumsy punching and kicking!

They didn’t stop running until they were certain that the monsters didn’t come after them. Shivering, they immediately quit from the virtual reality mode.

Su Tianji turned her head and glared at Fang Qi, who was the only calm one among them, and she had the urge to throw the virtual headset onto his head!

She had humiliated herself! In a huge way as well!

Before the game, she had felt so confident that she bragged to her disciples that she would come out with a victory!

However, after playing only for half an hour, she was scared out of her wits!

Remembering her clumsy punches in the game, she felt crazy with embarrassment!

It was more humiliating than yesterday’s sudden belch!

Lan Yan and Jiang Xiaoyue leaned against Nalan Mingxue while shivering, but Nalan Mingxue’s face was obviously colder than usual.

Dong Qingli, Zhang Wanyu, Fenghua, and Yuexin huddled together in another tight group.

Fear was contagious!

With a dark expression, Nalan Hongwu glanced at the screens and asked, “Kid, is this called toughening the mind?”

“Sir!” Song Qingfeng said, “How can I beat it? I would be scared to death first!”

“Right!” Shen Qingqing patted her chest to calm down her racing heart. “I was lucky that it didn’t catch me!”

They were not afraid of demons or even zombies, but in this game, everything oozed creepiness, including the letter from a dead person and the dead-silent ominous town with no people in sight!

Then, the monsters just jumped out!

The monsters were obviously not something that ordinary people could handle!

“No wonder the boss didn’t play!” Jiang Xiaoyue was also frightened, but since she wasn’t a player, she had recovered some courage after huddling with the other girls. Therefore, she now had the strength to complain. “Now, I know that you just don’t dare to play it.”

“Right!” Lan Yan murmured, “How could anyone create such a horrifying game?!”

“The shop owner said that he would play tonight on livestream.” Nalan Mingxue stared at Fang Qi with intense eyes, as if she expected him to go back on his words.

“I’ll put it on livestream tonight,” Fang Qi said casually.

Su Tianji had wanted to battle with Fang Qi personally, but she swallowed her challenge after hearing Fang Qi’s words.

“Will you really livestream tonight?”

“Did I ever go back on my words?” Fang Qi asked.

“Aren’t you afraid?” Su Tianji sneered, obviously not believing him.

Fang Qi pointed at the screen and said, “Look! Even the main character who is an ordinary guy isn’t afraid. Why should I?”

He looked at Su Tianji and asked, “Are you so afraid that you don’t dare to play again?”

Everyone was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Nalan Hongwu said, “In my opinion, since this game was made to toughen one’s mind, it’s understandable that the environment looks creepy. But I suppose that there must be a way to pass it, right?”

Fang Qi shrugged but didn’t confirm his speculation.

Nalan Hongwu continued, “A moment ago, you all escaped from the monster even though you were ordinary in the game, which means that these monsters aren’t as strong as you imagined.”

Hearing his words, the players’ eyes lit up. “Senior, do you mean that even an ordinary guy has the opportunity to survive this game?”

“Of course,” Nalan Hongwu said, “Otherwise, there’s no point in creating such a game.”

“I understand it now…” Su Tianji calmed down quickly and said with sudden understanding, “In this environment, the more unstable the mind is, the easier it is to lose one’s life. One must keep calm to survive.”

“This game has such a deep meaning!”

“Ugh? Is it so?” Confused, Xu Zixin and Shen Qingqing stared at Fang Qi suspiciously, suspecting that this game was meant to scare the players out of their wits before doing them any benefits.

“Sir! Are you sure that you’ll play it tonight?” Looking unconvinced, Shen Qingqing wanted to confirm it with him.

“Of course!”

“Then, I’ll try it again!” Su Tianji said with a dark expression; she would never admit that her mind was weak. Since Fang Qi dared to play the game, she guessed that it wasn’t anything to be afraid of.
