Horror Game: What to Do If You're Too Handsome — Author: Watching Ghost Movies at Midnight

An Xinghe had been chosen to participate in a horror game, and because he was too handsome, he had actually been granted the Astonishingly Handsome skill!

[Astonishingly Handsome: All living beings will have an extremely favorable impression of you!]

From then on, the horror game that seemed terrifying and bizarre to everyone else became a life simulator in his hands.

Slit-Mouthed Woman: Would you like me to give you my scissors as a present?

Lady Dimitrescu: Stop talking! I'll let you go!

Jia Hui: We're not recording the show anymore. Let's go on a date!

Livestream viewers: We came to watch you learn skills! Not to watch you make the villains go easy on you!!

Chapter 1: Astonishingly Handsome! What to Do If You're Too Handsome?!!

[Player No. 9856346, An Xinghe, has joined the horror game] [Body scan in progress. Generating data.] [Scanning...] [Scanning...] [Error! Error! An anomaly has been detected! Processing anomaly!] [Data changed. Regenerating character data.] [Player Name: An Xinghe] [Player Level: 1] [Experience Points: 0/100] [Game Currency: 0] [Equipment: None] [Skill: Astonishingly Handsome (Passive)] [Astonishingly Handsome: Your looks and charm have reached an astonishing level. All living beings will have an extremely favorable impression of you, while members of the opposite sex will have an even higher initial favorability.] [Title: None]

An Xinghe woke from a bout of dizziness. Looking at the cramped data space around him, he knew he had been forcibly pulled into the horror game.

The horror game was a sentient Otherspace that had suddenly descended upon Earth ten years ago. It regularly dragged humans inside and designed instances for them to challenge.

At the same time, the participants' actions would be livestreamed globally!

An Xinghe felt extremely frustrated. He had been happily playing a game at home when he was suddenly teleported here!

What a rip-off!

His four teammates would definitely report him!

At least let me finish that match! I'm in my damn promotion game!

However, An Xinghe looked at the Astonishingly Handsome skill on his status panel and grew curious about where it had come from!

Wasn't it just that the love letters he had received from childhood onward could be stacked up to cover an entire north-facing room?

Wasn't it just that whenever he went out to buy something, all kinds of girls would stuff WeChat IDs, cash, room key cards, and car keys into his hands?

His looks had turned into a skill?!

An Xinghe thought back. He didn't remember anyone who had participated in the horror game before receiving a passive skill.

Could this be a special benefit reserved for handsome people?!

[Player An Xinghe is about to enter the beginner instance!] [Instance: Urban Legend activated] [Number of Participants: 1] [Objective: Survive for two hours while being hunted by the Slit-Mouthed Woman] [Reward: 100 Experience Points, 100 Game Currency]

The next second, An Xinghe felt himself being teleported into a dark and quiet alley. Accompanying him was the system's terrifying, eerie voice...

[Welcome to the horror game!]

Immediately afterward, An Xinghe felt someone pat his shoulder, and a woman's voice came from behind him;

"Sir, could you turn around and look at me? Do you think... I'm beautiful?"

At that moment, An Xinghe's livestream had already begun!

[Another unlucky newcomer sent into the horror game!] [Let's pray he can hold out for a while.] [Don't you think... this newcomer is really handsome? And he has a great presence, too!] [Oh, you're right! I think so too! All the men I've ever seen put together aren't as handsome as him!] [The streamer is called An Xinghe? Even his name sounds nice!] [Girls, I think I'm in love...] [Don't steal him, okay? First come, first served!] [I was obviously first. Whether it's watching the livestream or saying the streamer's name...] [Xinghe! You have to survive in the horror game!]

An Xinghe turned around and examined the woman behind him.

The woman wore a khaki coat and a colorful scarf. Her hair was very long, and she was tall and slender. At first glance, she looked like a slim, sexy beauty.

The only problem was that she wore a large mask over her mouth and held a huge pair of scissors in her hand.

Who else could she be but the Slit-Mouthed Woman?

An Xinghe seemed not to have heard what the Slit-Mouthed Woman had just said and asked,

"Beautiful, what did you ask me just now?"

Impatience showed in the Slit-Mouthed Woman's voice:

"I was asking if I'm beau... beau..."

At that moment, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's eyes landed on An Xinghe's face. Her heart instantly seemed to skip a beat, and she began to stumble over her words!

"Um, I... beau..."

An Xinghe also recognized her as the boss of this instance, the Slit-Mouthed Woman!

But judging from the shy tone in her voice, she didn't seem very threatening.

An Xinghe's mischievous streak instantly surfaced! He continued asking,

"Beautiful, did you say your sister? What happened to your younger sister? Do you need my help?"

"No, not my sister! It's me... It's me, I..."

An Xinghe stepped two paces closer to the Slit-Mouthed Woman, bringing the distance between them down to twenty centimeters. His face was filled with concern:

"Beautiful, what's wrong?"

As An Xinghe's handsome face suddenly drew close, the Slit-Mouthed Woman felt her heart pounding like a crazed little deer! An unprecedented emotion planted its seed in her heart for the first time.

"I... I'm fine."

At that moment, An Xinghe noticed the scissors in the Slit-Mouthed Woman's hand. Pointing at them, he asked,

"Beautiful, why are you carrying such a huge pair of scissors?"

The Slit-Mouthed Woman panicked and hurriedly hid the scissors behind her back. She stammered,

"I, I'm a tailor... I just got off work and accidentally brought the scissors out with me."

Chapter 2: Making a Ghost Tell a Lie

When the Slit-Mouthed Woman said she was a tailor, the livestream danmaku exploded!

[Holy crap! Amazing! This is the first time I've seen someone force a ghost to tell a lie!] [What's even more terrifying is that the ghost volunteered to tell the lie!] [Does anyone else think the Slit-Mouthed Woman has fallen for An Xinghe?] [Do you really need to wonder? She obviously has!] [Why do I find this shy Slit-Mouthed Woman kind of cute...] [Same!]

After hiding her scissors, the Slit-Mouthed Woman asked with a faint blush,

"Meeting is fate. May I ask your name, sir?"

"An Xinghe."

The Slit-Mouthed Woman silently repeated An Xinghe's name twice, committing those three characters firmly to memory. Then she advised An Xinghe,

"Mr. An, you really shouldn't be walking through this alley at night. It's dangerous."

An Xinghe asked, despite already knowing the answer,

"Why?"

"Because I heard that unclean things sometimes appear in this alley, such as Hachishaku-sama or the Slit-Mouthed Woman..."

An Xinghe found it rather amusing.

You're the Slit-Mouthed Woman yourself, yet you're telling me to watch out for the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
