Don't Look at That Thing's Face

For a long time, there was no movement.

Seeing that there was no longer any emergency, Xin Xin was hiding under the table, still didn't dare to climb out.

The residue left behind by the black monster after attacking humans made her feel utterly unsafe.

I always felt that the strange stain was like a portal, capable of teleporting that monster here anytime, anywhere.

But staying under the table all the time isn't a good idea; viewers and fans in the live stream are already asking why I'm still hiding.

Looking at her rapidly growing fanbase and popularity, Xin Xin glanced at the black residue in the game that had swallowed humans. Finally, she gritted her teeth and crawled out.

Immediately, she became alert and kept looking around at her surroundings.

They even looked at the ceiling, frequently peering out.

But there is no danger.

It seems we are truly safe now.

Xin Xin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He patted his ample chest with the hand holding the remote control and glanced at the ceiling.

Amidst that pristine white expanse, there was a large patch of black grime, identical to the ground itself.

But unlike the steaming and bubbling on the ground, black liquid was dripping continuously from the ceiling.

It's like a light drizzle, and it's corrosive.

"We can't stay here any longer! Brothers, let's get out of here."

As she was about to leave the monitoring room, her gaze was suddenly drawn to the screen full of surveillance footage.

On the wall in front, there are rows of neatly arranged display screens.

Counting them up, there are a total of 25 pieces in 5*5!

These surveillance images are clearly visible even in dimly lit environments.

Above, figures could be seen running around from time to time, but most of them were wearing orange clothes. There were relatively few people wearing white clothes, but they were not none.

"I'm a bit curious. If there's a power outage, why can these surveillance cameras still be viewed? And why can those electrically controlled mechanical doors still be opened? And what's even more absurd is that the elevator can still be ridden!"

"Was this power outage for nothing? Everything was still running except the lights. Or does the Control Bureau have some kind of advanced technology that allows them to cut off only the lights while keeping other electrical appliances powered?"

Xin Xin made a small complaint, and as she looked at the monitor screen, she quickly noticed that one of the sections was different.

This immediately made her curiosity overcome her nervousness.

So he bypassed the two puddles of dirt and came to the base of the wall, looking up at the 25 monitoring screens.

At this moment, upon closer observation, she saw the difference.

It turned out to be a 6-person security team!

They advanced cautiously, guided by the waving of their tactical Flashlight.

Soon, it moved from one screen to another, and then quickly arrived at the next screen.

It seemed like they were walking quickly and carefully, almost non-stop.

At the same time, all the orange-clad personnel who appeared in front of them died under gunfire without exception.

This made them appear both ruthless and bloodthirsty, leaving Xin Xin speechless with astonishment.

Fortunately, their team didn't encounter the statue monster that could break people's necks at all.

Otherwise, I really want to see a scene of intense fighting or a bloodbath.

In monitoring room number 2, Xin Xin carefully observed the team through the monitoring screen.

Watching them walk in such an orderly fashion, I was quite curious about what they were going to do.

However, this question was quickly answered.

Because not long after, they discovered their 'target'.

Through the surveillance footage, she saw one of the security guards kick open a wooden door.

Then several other security guards entered and disappeared from the surveillance footage.

Xin Xin immediately searched for their figures on the 25 surveillance cameras and soon found them on a screen in the corner.

It was a room, a room with glass partitions and a worktable.

It appears to be an observation room, or perhaps an interrogation room.

At this moment, in a corner of the room, sat a strange figure whose face she could not see.

Through the surveillance footage, she could see that it was a person who was pale, emaciated, and naked with his head buried in his knees.

Even in the dim light, the surveillance footage from the Control Bureau showed his unusually pale skin.

"Wow, this surveillance footage is really clear! It's not even in the same league as those blurry and shaky ghost videos online."

Xin Xin walked to the corner directly below the monitoring screen so she could see it more clearly.

In the footage, the squad is seen approaching cautiously, guns raised and Flashlight waving.

At the same time, they were also using tactical hand signals, indicating that they were giving some kind of command.

They're finished.

The game's protagonist's sudden remark made Xin Xin raise an eyebrow, and then she watched even more intently.

Actually, she already knew what would happen next without needing to say anything.

The white-skinned person is clearly suspicious; how could a normal person be hiding naked in this chaos?

Is that possible?

Moreover, those hands had sharp claws on them, so they couldn't possibly be human hands.

Since they're not human, given the production team's track record, do you think this team will have a smooth ride?

Obviously, those who know, know.

However, since the protagonist said so, it means that he had seen this naked, white-skinned monster.

They must have died at its hands.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so certain that armed security forces would be doomed.

I'd better not watch it.

The game's protagonist spoke again in a deep voice.

This can be considered a hint.

However, as a player, Xin Xin naturally wouldn't obediently follow along.

Although she was cautious, she also valued her life.

But after so many years of live streaming, they naturally know how to please the audience.

She doesn't broadcast live gameplay, nor does she mainly provide walkthroughs.

If an entertainment streamer simply plays games in a rigid, scripted manner, people will quickly find it boring.

But deliberately courting death can seem very fake.

Therefore, this kind of reckless behavior of exploring game details has a different meaning.

Therefore, Xin Xin knew that what followed would definitely end in tragedy.

But while it's all speculation, it's always good to be safe.

So she saved the game on the spot, leaving herself a way out and avoiding wasting her time.

At this moment, as seen on the surveillance footage, a security guard cautiously stepped forward.

He held up his gun and shone his Flashlight on the white-skinned man.

However, there was no danger until we got close.

The security guard then made a hand gesture. Upon seeing this, the other security guards immediately made way for him.

Then, he seemed to be speaking on the radio, but unfortunately, Xin Xin, who was watching through the monitor, couldn't understand what they were saying.

And it was at this moment...

A sudden change has occurred!

The naked, white-skinned monster who had been burying his head in his knees suddenly raised his head and looked at the armed security guard beside him.

The security guard also noticed something amiss at that moment and subconsciously looked over.

In an instant!

Xin Xin saw that the naked, white-skinned person who was originally squatting suddenly stood up, and his height was actually half a body taller than the security guard!

Just look at it. Its limbs are terrifyingly long and slender, completely disproportionate to its torso!

Its hands have sharp claws, and its body is all skin and bones.

It looked like a humanoid stick insect, a truly shocking sight!

It held its head with its slender arms, making a painful roar, and kept twisting its body, looking like it was struggling sadly.

The security personnel who shared the room with it immediately assembled and went on alert.

But the one closest to it hadn't run more than a few steps before it was pierced by five sharp claws and then grabbed.

It was at this moment that Xin Xin saw what the monster looked like.

A grotesque face with protruding bones, resembling skin and bones!

It had no hair, no flesh, and was extremely eerie.

The game screen suddenly tried to move away uncontrollably, but she forcibly pulled it back.

After several attempts, the game's protagonist finally spoke, his voice trembling and broken.

[Don't look at that thing's face.]

Upon hearing this, Xin Xin blinked, but driven by curiosity, she chose to ignore it.

In the surveillance footage, after grabbing the security personnel, the monster did something that made Xin Xin exclaim "Holy crap!"

Suddenly, the monster's mouth stretched out inexplicably, reaching all the way to its chest cavity.

An excessively open jaw is terrifying and chilling!

Immediately afterwards, Xin Xin saw a scene that terrified her in real life, causing her to cover her mouth in horror!

The monster made the security guard vomit.

In the end, only his two legs remained outside, swaying helplessly.

The image resembles a long snake hunting its prey!

"Holy crap, this is way too... too exciting... I can't take it anymore!"

Before Xin Xin could continue speaking, gunfire erupted on the surveillance footage.

The remaining security personnel fired in fear, shouting as they retreated outside.

But the monster once again clutched its head with its long, slender arms, roaring in pain and sorrow.

Then, he roared to the sky.

He then went on a killing spree.

The scene was bloody and gruesome... unbearable to watch.

So much so that one of the surveillance footage was stained with gradually dripping blood, which was slowly flowing down.

Xin Xin was so shocked by what she saw that she stood there dumbfounded.

This was a massacre!

A one-sided massacre!

This long, thin, strange-looking person is clearly an anomaly!

Faced with these anomalies, conventional firearms have proven largely ineffective.

Or rather, it had absolutely no effect!

So, the Control Bureau was only at the level of ordinary humans?

Moments later, the entire squad was wiped out.

The surveillance footage showed a blood-red mass of dismembered limbs and fragments.

Only that still pale, slender, strange figure stood motionless in place.

There was not a trace of blood on his body.

Just as Xin Xin was engrossed in watching, the game's protagonist spoke again.

This time, Xin Xin was stunned.

I'm dead.

The next second, on camera.

The pale, slender, strange-looking creature suddenly looked up and met Xin Xin's eyes through the monitoring equipment.

Suddenly, she panicked, and her heart began to pound for some reason.

Immediately afterwards, the monster clutched its head again with its long, thin limbs, making a painful roar.

Then

It stretched out its excessively long and thin arms and began to flee.

Soon, it disappeared from the surveillance range and appeared in another surveillance area.

It looked as if it was trying to avoid being monitored, rampaging recklessly.

Seeing this, Xin Xin also lost the patience to continue watching.

Just as she was about to leave, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because she saw the monster appear in an area she had been to before.

That area isn't far from here!

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.

Then he stared intently at the screen again.

Soon, it was spotted again.

All she saw was it stretching out its sharp claws and arms, rampaging and crashing through the corridors, hallways, dormitories, and staircases she had previously visited...

Then

Through the Bluetooth headset, she could vaguely hear a piercing and distant howl.

I understand

She understood.

The monster wasn't fleeing.

But rather, it's... approaching!

It was rushing towards her at high speed, weaving through various places.

The inconsistency in the surveillance footage gave her the illusion that it was escaping!

In fact.

It came to kill her!

Moreover, it has already found its place!

Thinking of how that monster had bloodily slaughtered several people, Xin Xin's legs trembled slightly.

"Close the door! We have to close the door...!"

"It's too fast! It took me more than an hour to walk here from my dorm, and it's coming over in less than two minutes! I can't run away, I have to close the door!"

Xin Xin remained calm under pressure; having experienced the trials of several Horror Games, she had already transformed!

At this point, it's not enough to scare her so much that she can't walk!

Xin Xin quickly went to the door and closed it with her key card.

As she watched the massive metal mechanical door in front of her slowly close, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It should be alright now. This door is at least 30 centimeters thick. Even a rocket launcher might not be able to blast it open. No matter how strong that mortal monster is, can it be as powerful as a rocket launcher?"

Nevertheless, she was still somewhat panicked and prepared to hide under the table.

but

It's too late.

Unbeknownst to them, the distant howling grew closer and louder.

Finally, accompanied by the sound of barefoot footsteps, howling stopped outside the heavy mechanical door of the monitoring room.

It's here!

Thud—

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth!

The mechanical door, which was about 30 cm thick, was actually bulged out by the heavy impact!

No need to look, the front is definitely dented!

Xin Xin, who didn't have time to dodge, was completely dumbfounded and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Holy crap! What kind of Giant Spirit God is this?!"

Thud—

Another loud bang, and the mechanical door bulged again from the impact.

Xin Xin dared not hesitate any longer and turned to hide.

But in her panic, she stepped on bubbling black mud on the ground!

Suddenly, she began to sink uncontrollably.

"Holy crap! Are you kidding me?! This is the last thing you do at this crucial moment! Help me, you son of a bitch!"

At this moment, the game's protagonist let out a bitter laugh.

[Before getting that Mask, perhaps this is the worst way to avoid it.]

Before Xin Xin could think about the meaning of that sentence.

The next second.

Thud—

Thud—

Thud—

Bang!

With three loud bangs, the seemingly indestructible mechanical door collapsed completely.

Outside the monitoring room, all the viewers in the live broadcast room saw a tall, thin, hairless, white-skinned monster.

It stood straight outside the door, staring at the game's protagonist with its grotesque, emaciated face.

And Xin Xin, who was controlling him, subconsciously met his gaze.

[Oh God.]

Accompanied by the game protagonist's trembling voice.

The monster outside the door suddenly clutched its head and let out a deafening, terrifying howl!

It seemed to be struggling, and its voice revealed pain.

But soon, amidst the loud noise, it stretched out its sharp claws and rushed in.

That mouth also opened wide at that moment.
