Chapter 493 - 11.19 First Green Star - Haunted Asylum (8)
Everyone had heard Professor An Yuan's answer to Hri Anjing's question. They all have their own main mission. This is their goal. So when the two were talking about it just now, everyone was completely interested in this topic.
Hei Anjing replied with a pouting expression, "How nice~ your mission seems fun. Mine to accumulate 1M views in my channel. Can Mission be exchanged?" he asked while looking at the other managers.
The little devil and little angel managers shook to show their answer. It seems that it is impossible to change the main mission.
System Yang who was quietly observing near his master said, [Master, it is not completely impossible but you need 500k Gold coins to change your main mission and the exchange was randomly done. Right now we do not have enough gold coins. So please bear with it for this movie.]
Sigh~
Hei Anjing murmured, "I thought so too..." he was even sighing in disappointment. "I just wanted to have some fun thought~"
Manager Gui suggested. [Actually, there is another way. But it wasn't a complete exchange of missions. Instead, it was sharing it. Those who made a group channel can share main missions together. But 1/3 of the mission must be completed.
For example, if there are three players in a group channel it means this group has three main missions to fulfill. 2 out of 3 must be completed or else the whole group would be considered a failure. But there are huge advantages and disadvantages for a group channel.
The advantage is that the reward was multiplied by how many players are in a group. Each group mission would increase the original main mission reward by 10 percent. In this movie, the reward would be increased to 5000 gold coins, 3 skill books, and 3 props.
The disadvantage is that if the group fails to complete 1/3 of the mission, every member would fall into the punishment mode. The Massacre Game where the death rate is 80% of the original number of players per batch. The punishment is a game in insane mode and it is very hard to survive there unless you are Godly Skilled. But if you successfully finished the game other huge rewards would be received upon return to the Main City in the Abyssal World.]
Hei Anjing's eyes showed an excited look as he looked at An Yuan.
"Nice~ how about it Xiao An? We just so I guess a temporary group should do? I will help you record that Boss NPC. Let's see if you agree. I will give you the gold coins as my reward for this Movie. I will also not let you die as long as you let me play~" said Hei Anjing.
The little devil and little angel managers were whispering at the side. The decision can only be done by An Yuan. If he agrees they would have to make a temporary shared contract between the parties. But there is still some hesitation on An Yuan's face.
Hei Anjing was enjoying himself with the possibility of having fun with the boss without stealing the mission of others when he saw Han Ya giving him a fierce stare.
"Don't glare at me. I'm making sure your little sweeter would regain his sight even temporarily asap plus... With your situation even if he finished this movie he looks so weak those old players in the city would definitely gobble him up. One manager wouldn't be able to protect him if they got surrounded, especially without you by his side~" said Hei Anjing.
Han Ya's eyes widened in disbelief. He obviously understood what Hei Anjing meant. The original Han Ya just failed his main mission so regardless of his overall score in this movie, he would be pulled into the massacre mode.
Unknown to them, System Yan was explaining Han Ya's situation to his master through their thoughts.
[Master, this Han Ya is that undead knight. But because the original had failed his main mission he would still be pulled into the life and death game after this movie. The protagonist shou would be left vulnerable if that happens especially since he is still blind and lacking gold coins.]
This time the expression of Manager Tian was so distorted in shock. He was shaking in disbelief while looking at Hei Anjing, this extremely beautiful newbie yet dangerous player.
Manager Tian, [Y-You!? How could you know? Who the hell are you?]
The rudeness of Manager Tian ticked System Yang and slammed him away. The former flew like a thrown ball.
Manager Tian, [Aaahhh!!!]
[Rude. Watch how you talk.], System Yang.
Manager Gui, [En! Serve you and your loudmouth right.]
Ignoring the three-balls of various appearances playing by the side. Hei Anjing was giving Han Ya a teasing smile, the type that makes others want to hit him on his face.
Han Ya grinds his teeth and asks, "Just who the hell are you?"
"Heh~ I'm just a thrill-seeking bystander~" replied Hei Anjing and ignored the rude undead and looked at the professor who could make the final decision.
Professor An Yuan observes the smiling Hei Anjing felt that this person is overly gorgeous yet it gave them an extremely dangerous feeling like meeting a proud snow leopard looking at them coldly yet wanting to play around with them.
An Yuan asked him straightforward questions.
"Are you going to kill us in the end?"
"Hm? I am not that bored you know~ but if you touch my husband then I will definitely kill you regardless of who you are~"
"Husband? Do we know who that person is and how sure we are going to harm him?"
"You don't know but the one beside you knows. It hasn't happened yet but for you, this man who calls himself Han Ya would destroy even this world just to fulfill your wish. It's just that... That wish of yours would cause the demise of my most important person."
"So you want to stay by our side to stop us if we ever wanted to kill your lover?"
"Not really... After all, if the man beside you is in his real state I could end his life with one move much less yours a mere human~" Hei Anjing whispered the last two words only for the professor to hear and then he walks towards somewhere within the hospital to do the role pLying he is in. "Well~ think about it. You can ask your Manager to contact Yang if you agree. Well, regardless of your choice the ending would be the same as long as I exist."
Everyone could only watch his back disappear from their line of sight. Most of Hei Anjing's words were ambiguous yet meaningful. Though An Yuan couldn't understand the real meaning of Hei Anjing's words, he isn't stupid enough to make enemies with that man. Even an ordinary person like him could feel powerless in his presence plus that person's heartbeat was calm right from the start as if nothing in this world could move his heart.
Maybe only that man he calls husband could move this cold-hearted person's frozen heart.
Han Ya held his hands and said, "Think it on the way. Complete your mission first then... We can decide afterward."
"Un!" said An Yuan as their Managers start doing their job and supporting their players and this includes giving them suggestions.
Manager Gui linked his thoughts to his player normally this can only be done when they've fully signed the contract. But he made an exception because of the current situation of his player. He felt that agreeing with Player Hei would be more rewarding than not. At the very least this temporary partnership would secure the initial payment for the sense of sight. Though the upgrades are expensive, it is also a convenient skill. It would allow An Yuan to see beyond normal means.
[My player, I suggest you agree to the temporary contract. Don't worry I will read the contents of the contract and make sure nothing would happen to you regardless. It is just that this is a great opportunity. Not only would we have enough money to pay the initial down-payment for the sense of sight, but you would also have an extra life with that person around. This is good for both you and that boy... That player is named Han Ya.]
An Yuan replied within his thoughts, 'I... will think about it.'
Meanwhile, while the players had split up to live stream on different floors the announcement once again rang in their heads.
PING! PONG!
{Announcement: All players in Movie, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum. Please get ready for camera rolling. The movie would be starting at 3... 2... 1... 0.
PAK! Start Camera… Action!!!!}
The whole area of the hospital had once again got covered in a mist. The original hospital had been distorted and changed to the building asylum shown in the original movie of Gonjiam.
The light outside had faded and a sky was carpeted with darkness, a huge moon, and clusters of stars. The outside area of the hospital had turned into forestry. There is no specific lighting equipment in the forest to provide light. But the players had some equipment with them that could brighten the dark interior of the ruined Haunted Asylum.
The two pairs had just entered the main entrance of the abandoned asylum. They were welcomed with gloomy and ruined scenery inside. Dust molten floors, spider webs all over the place. There are clear cracks of the walls literally showing the old age of the built-in ruins. Hei Anjing is nowhere to be found. He had gone inside ahead of them even before the announcement of the world was heard.
They do not have lines but there are instructions provided by their managers that must be followed. The director of this movie played the role of narrating.
{The crew of a horror web series travels to an abandoned asylum for a live broadcast. It soon encounters much more than expected as it moves deeper inside the nightmarish old building.}
Then the former players who had role-played this movie were being played. As expected, like in the Movie the cursed room where the Boss NPC is found is on the fourth floor of the Haunted Asylum. Room 402, the sealed and cursed room with the asylum.
Now a recording of two male players was being played before them. Like what the newbie players are doing, they had live streaming types of equipment attached to their bodies. The one difference is that they were holding tools that could help their attempts to break the door or pry open the door of Room 402.
Holding an ax and a chainsaw the two male players tried to forcefully open the door to room 402. But no matter what they do nothing is happening at all.
'Fuck! This door!'
'Argh~ why did our mission have to be to open this stupid door!? Even a chainsaw is not working at all!!!'
'Stop screaming retard! Do you want to call the Boss NPC with your yells!?'
'Stupid! The sound of that chainsaw is so loud that the Boss NPC must have already known we were here!"
They suddenly started fighting in front of the cursed room in frustration. They started pushing, punching and kicking until one had pushed the other to the ground and beat each other up.
'Who are you calling stupid!?'
'You're the first one to call me retard!'
'Bastard! I will beat you to death!!'
'Hah! Do it if you can!'
Their fistfight becomes a brawl. Their lips were cut, bruises on the other parts of their skins, and some scratches here in there. They were obviously fighting to death when suddenly the metal door that was firmly closed had opened with a Bang!
BAM!!!
A dark and extremely large room can be seen through the open door and suddenly a river of black hair came crawling towards the two players. They've tried to escape.
'Damn! It's the Boss NPC!!! RUN!'
'Moron! Don't grab me!'
'I'm not fucking grabbing you! You are the one grabbing me!'
'Nonsense!'
Then they both look at that foreign feeling of something slimy holding on to their ankles. It was a thick black hair moving on its own. Their faces paled at this scene and the last thing that the record had shown is them being dragged inside the room by that long hair owned by a woman.
'AAAAHHHH! SAVE ME!!!'
BANG!
The door once again closed afterward. The only thing that echoes in that empty hallway is the lingering sounds of the two players' screams and the laughter of a lady like in those rumors about the Haunted Asylum. None of the other players that had role played in this movie had come out alive.
The recording shown to the current players stopped after that scene.
