Chapter 725: Come and Play If You Dare! You Will Be Terrified!

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Outside the game, the players might be masters with extremely high cultivation strength and combat abilities.
But in Outlast, the players were ordinary people who had fallen from a high place and had poor physical conditions. Even with great willpower, the best that they could do was fleeing since it was impossible to fight any monsters.
“All my preparations were in vain…” Sala felt like crying in the game. In the darkness, she filmed her surroundings with her video camera, clutching onto it like a precious treasure that her mom gave her.
Trying to survive and escape from so many monsters as an ordinary person who would have great difficulty catching a chicken, Sala felt like she was going crazy.
The most depressing part wasn’t being caught but listening to the footsteps of that fat monster while she hid in the darkness. When it came close to her hideout, her heart would always be in her throat.
Besides, whenever she was about to finish the quest and get out, the priest would always stop her at the critical moment, turning all the efforts to waste. Then, she had to continue her investigation in this extremely creepy place.
Having played for a few hours, Sala wondered, “How come this game is so scary?!”
In the beginning, Sala had marched up to the gate of the hospital without a care and pounded on the gate of the hospital. But now…
She felt like she was going crazy in this game!
At this moment, Sala’s movements seemed to have alerted the deranged inmate who was trapped in a chair. This man’s shouts attracted the attention of all the nearby inmates.
These monsters who had been crazily tortured and mutated in the experiments had stronger physiques than ordinary people.
“Ah-!” Seeing them smashing on the locked doors on both sides of the room and trying to break in, Sala was suffocating with fear.
Sala raced away while screaming.
“Hahahaha! This elf runs so fast.”
Sala thought, I almost died of fright; how can I not run fast?
“Which way should I go…?”
“I guess this way…!” Frantically, Sala pulled open a door and dashed inside.
“Who are you? You’re not one of them, right?” At this moment, an electronic voice came from an unknown source, “If you want to live, come into this small lift”
Sure enough, there was a very small lift which could have been mistaken as a chimney or an air duct if one didn’t look carefully.
Without thinking, Sala got into it.
In the next moment, a large group of deranged inmates knocked down the doors and swarmed in. Sala could even see them rushing toward her location before the lift went up.
With her heart in her throat, Sala thought that she was out of danger when the lift went up.
However, when Sala went up with the lift, a brawny monster swung out a punch and said, “You made the right decision, Sir.”
This monster’s skin on his upper body seemed to have been torn open to reveal bloody flesh, and the lower half of his distorted face was covered by filthy bandages.
“Ahh-!”
When Sala woke up again, she found herself locked in a wheelchair.
At this moment, Sala swiftly put down her virtual reality headset and looked at her screen as the main character got his fingers amputated.
“Ahh-!” Sala felt lucky that she had scrambled to exit the virtual reality mode in time! She was going to go crazy!
Then, without any bandages or any medication, the main character had to continue the rest of the exploration after two of his fingers were amputated.
It had been creepy to watch the two bloody amputated fingers while climbing in the original version of the game. Now in the system version, the players also had to endure everything that the main character felt, including blood loss while they continued the game…
I quit!
Without hesitation, Sala quitted from the game while her pretty face paled. She was thrown into a very bad mood.
The shop owner had been playing games at a nearby computer, and Sala dragged him over and pointed at her screen while saying, “Sir, how can I continue playing this game?!”
…
“F*ck…! This game, Outlast, is thrilling!” The players in the old shops obviously had a different feeling. After all, they had watched it on the screens.
The students of Heavenly Academy and the idle players in the Jiuhua City Shop didn’t play the game but had watched it on livestream for most of the day.
These people even talked about it in the group chat and had heated discussions.
[The elf whom I watched ran so fast. I watched her run all around the place.]
[Which one did you watch? I watched the elf with poisonous milk.] Even Sia of the Ultimate West Realm joined the discussion.
[What elf with poisonous milk?] Ning Bi asked in the group chat.
[Didn’t you see last time… the nanny that Mr. Fang took to raid the Scarlet Monastery?] Sia posted a screenshot.
[Hahahaha! These elves are all funny. I watched the elf who slid down the desk.] Demonic Woman Ning Bi also posted a screenshot.
Not knowing if she should laugh or cry, Yue Bai said, [I wonder if the elves will kill us if they knew…]
Mu Qing chimed in, [But I just can’t stop it. Hahaha…]
At this moment, Sala noticed that messages were popping up in her World of Warcraft group chat. While she read the messages in the group, her eyes instantly widened. “Ugh?!”
[Hey-!?]
[How come you guys even took screenshots?!] Sala wished that she could go over through the internet cable and kill them all, so no one would talk about her humiliating acts.
Everyone turned silent.
“…”
[How come this elf is in the group?!]
Nalan Mingxue replied, [She’s my playmate in the game (Husky’s disdainful face).]
Mr. Fang was standing beside Sala at this moment, and he tried to sooth her. [This is a horror game; it’s unnatural if you’re not scared.]
[I thought it was a comedy game-!] Sala had the sudden urge to kill the shop owner.
How come this shop does things so differently?! I braced myself to watch the so-called evil god and ended up laughing like a pig.
Now in this game, we were prepared to show off our fighting skills against these monsters who have low combat strength, but we ended up wetting our pants due to fear!
I even put the whole process on livestream!
“It’s all your fault!”
He’s a scummy shop owner!
“Um…” Mr. Fang touched his head and replied, “It has nothing to do with me… You guys kept asking me when Outlast would be released; you even trash-talked me as a scummy shop owner every day when I didn’t release this game…”
“It’s your fault! It’s all your fault!” Hearing the shop owner toss their own words back at them, Sala and the other elves were furious.
Hey! Don’t be like this!
Obviously not able to continue the game, many elves around Sala also put down their virtual reality headsets.
“Sir, is this mystic realm designed for people to play?!”
“Why isn’t it…?”
“Come and play if you dare!” The elves glared at Mr. Fang as if they would eat him alive!
Afraid that what they said didn’t hold enough weight, these elves added in a hurry, “Otherwise we won’t come back to the shop to play again! Humph!”
Of course, these elves amended silently, If the scummy shop owner refuses to do it, we’ll still come back and play the games despite the humiliation in the worst-case scenario.
In the other mystic realms, they could fight or flee using their skills. After some practice, they could manage by themselves.
But in this game, they couldn’t even use a sliver of their skills!
Despite their powerful strength and skills, they couldn’t bring any of them into the game; how could they finish the game?!.
