Chapter 722: How Come You Slid Under the Desk During Your Livestream?

Translator: Noodletown Translations  Editor: Noodletown Translations

In the distant mountains of Colorado, Mount Massive Asylum was a psychiatric hospital that had reopened after a long period of desertion. However, after the hospital was reopened, many mysteries and horrifying things were rumored to have happened in it.

The hospital was owned and operated by the multinational corporation Murkoff under the disguise of a charitable organization.

It had been operating in secret. Upon receiving a tip-off from an anonymous source inside his hospital, freelance journalist Miles Upshur came here to disclose the criminal conduct of this company with his video camera. The players were in the role of this brave journalist in the game.

This was the general plot of Outlast.

“Oh! I saw that several new streamers are livestreaming Outlast!” In the Yuanyang City Shop, some players had experienced the horror in Silent Hill. Those who hadn’t played it had heard of this extremely horrifying game from other players.

So, when they found that Outlast was a game of the same kind, they didn’t enter it as soon as it was released.

Instead, they wanted to see if other players played it and planned to watch the livestream of the game first.

Among the students of Heavenly Academy, Mu Qing was one such player.

Soon, many other students such as Yue Bai and Tang Yu also looked over. “Someone’s livestreaming it!?”

“I’ll watch it!”

At this moment, with a bottle of iced red tea in one hand and her communication jade in the other, Su Tianji was sitting on the spiritual ship that was flying toward Jiuhua City.

While sipping iced red tea, she browsed the messages in the communication jade.

“Master! Master!” Holding a communication jade, her disciple Fenghua yelled, “Here! An elf is livestreaming Outlast!”

“There is more than one of them!” The other disciple Yuexin shrieked, “Many elves are livestreaming Outlast!”

“Let me see…!” Su Tianji immediately clicked on her communication jade.

Then, she randomly clicked on one link and saw it was indeed an elf. “This elf looks familiar. I’ll watch her then.”

Besides these people, many other players in the old shops were watching the livestreams too. Sala only livestreamed for a little while and found that there were hundreds of people watching her right now.

“Ya… so many people?”

“As an elf with a sense of justice, I must stop the villains from doing evil things here,” Sala yelled with indignation while controlling the main character to walk deeper into the hospital. “I shall disclose the evil going on in this place. We’ll enter this place and see what’s inside.”

With that said, she walked directly toward the main gate.

After entering through the big iron gates of the walled property, she found that door of the hospital was closed.

“Let’s enter through the door,” Sala explained to her audience as she pushed the door.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

“Is anyone in there?” Sala controlled the main character to push the door, making clanking noises.

Sala pushed so much that her hands went numb. “Ugh…? I can’t push it open.”

She began to pull the door.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

She made huge sounds and she pounded on the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everyone watched as the elf wildly pounded the door of the psychiatric hospital.

“What’s this elf doing here?” The audience were stupefied by the scene.

Oh! I must enter and use Musou! What’s happening?! Let me show off my skills!

Sala had imagined her fancy plans, but she couldn’t even open the door at this moment. She was extremely frustrated at this moment.

“No idea…”

“Now, we know that the main door can’t be open.” Seeming to realize that she had lost her composure due to her impatience to show off her skills, Sala immediately calmed down and said, “Then, we must find an entrance from the side…”

In some areas, this game was similar to Assassin’s Creed; climbing was one of them.

Of course, as an ordinary person, the main character couldn’t climb as well as the main characters in Assassins Creed. The main character here had to grab onto wooden frames on one side of the hospital to assist before being able to climb into the building through a window.

The room behind the window had been lit, but as soon as Sala jumped in, the light flashed twice and turned dark instantly.

Even the audience could see nothing but darkness on the screens.

The main character had sensed the thick darkness and ominous atmosphere that engulfed the whole place when driving here. Now, these negative presences seemed to have intensified.

At this moment, the ominous feeling and suffocating atmosphere were even more obvious.

“Oh… it’s so dark inside…” While sipping iced red tea, Su Tianji watched the livestream, thinking that it was a bit creepy in the building.

Standing in the room, Sala had a totally different feeling. Through the main character’s body, she could feel the darkness pressing on her like a pile of heavy and invisible rocks.

It would be no big deal if Sala imagined such a scenario during the day.

However, standing there at midnight, she felt chills running down her spine and couldn’t help but wonder if something would suddenly jump out from the deep darkness around her.

As an ordinary person, Miles could influence the players with his thoughts and senses.

The suffocating feeling forced Sala to draw in a deep breath. Then, she quickly turned on the video camera and checked the surroundings with the night vision.

Since the surroundings were so dark that one couldn’t see their own fingers without the video camera, the players had to observe the world through the video camera with night view mode.

Through the night view mode, everything was greyish-green like the creepy supernatural scenes in the old movies.

“How come I feel like something is not right…” While holding the video camera, Sala felt her way in the darkness and said to the audience in her livestream room.

But this main character…

His heart rate so fast that Sala could even hear the thumping heartbeats while an excruciating headache attacked her. Sala couldn’t decide if it was a result of the lack of oxygen caused by the high pressure that the main character felt or it was her own problem.

After inhaling deeply, she held her breath and exhaled slowly; she didn’t dare to exhale too fast to make noises.

In this state, she couldn’t use any of her combat strength even if she had it, let alone that she didn’t possess any combat strength at all in the game.

Creak!

Perhaps it was due to wind or other reasons, the narrow window closed by itself. In the silent room, the rattling noises made by the wind blowing on the air duct were especially ear-grating.

With the light coming from the hall through the glass window on the side of the room, Sala finally turned off her video camera.

The only exit for her was the half open door on her right.

“It seems like no one is here…” Sala told the audience and pushed open the door.

“Ahh!” The character on the screen jumped in fright.

A corpse hung before the main character upside down, and the light flashed twice.

Sipping iced red tea, Su Tianji watched the livestream and said, “Hahaha! This elf is so fun to watch. She jumps when she is scared.”

“Hu…” Seeing that it was a corpse, Sala heaved out a breath of relief. “It gave me such a fright!”

“Um…” Hurriedly, she explained to the audience, “This is nothing. Hehehe… let’s move on.”

She hadn’t shown off her skills yet!

Controlling the main character, Sala ventured deeper inside.

Walking down the path through the rooms, she walked to the other side of the corridor. The atmosphere felt even creepier. She seemed to hear someone talk around the corner at the end of the corridor, but when she walked over, no one was there.

The path before her was blocked by a desk and a wooden shelf, but she could squeeze through by walking sideways.

“This game looks simple, ha!” Sala said while slowly squeezing through the crevice between the bookshelf and the desk.

At this moment, she felt that a cold hand grabbed her shoulder!

She turned her head and saw a fat and nightmarishly distorted face.

Before she could have a clear look, her body broke through the window behind her and flew out of it which was several floors high.

“Ahh! Ahhh!” In a flash, Sala exited from virtual reality mode. While putting down her virtual reality headset, she stood up and slipped.

At this moment, most of the players in the internet cafe were all in the games, and a few players were walking past in the corridor with bowls of instant noodles in their hands.

Suddenly, they heard a scream.

Clank! A noise sounded.

Everyone looked over, and they saw an elf getting up from under the desk and looking at the people around her in confusion. Dust was all over her hair and face. “…”

“What… how come you slid under the desk while livestreaming?”
