Nightmare Assault Chapter 394: Life

Before the mission started, it mixed among the players. This had never happened before.

Before he could reach the bat, his body froze. Then, his hands moved towards his face. One hand held his lower jaw, and the other his upper jaw. His mouth opened until it reached its maximum. His body trembled, and his face turned pale. Blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth. His eyes showed that this was not his intention. He was controlled by some mysterious power.

After a harrowing crack, fresh blood dripped down the computer screen. A lifeless corpse fell from the chair. The widened eyes stared at the ceiling. The jaw had been brutally torn out. One hand held the cracked jaw.

…

Jiang Cheng’s group didn’t wait for the people from Building Three to return. After a quick discussion, they decided to do nothing. Before the night fully arrived, Banana Wolf’s team returned to Building Two. Even though Banana Wolf confirmed with Chu Jiu that Wen Qing would not harm her, the latter didn’t look convinced.

“How about you sleep with me tonight?” Fatty pitied the girl. If the little beggar from the previous mission didn’t die, she would be about Chu Jiu’s height. Chu Jiu was tempted, but she still shook her head. She didn’t want to be a burden. Ever since Chen Yi died, she felt guilty. If Sister Chen Yi didn’t leave her room because of her… maybe she’d still be alive.

“You need to be careful at night,” Chu Jiu said, looking at Jiang Cheng and Fatty. “We don’t have much time left.” As the mission neared its end, the ghosts in the mission would become wilder.

After sending Chu Jiu off, Jiang Cheng returned to Fatty’s room. Fatty whipped up a bowl of noodles for Jiang Cheng. Due to the time constraint, he only put two eggs. When he served the noodles, the Doctor walked out of the bedroom with a serious countenance.

Fatty sidled over and rubbed his reddened fingers. He whispered, “Doctor, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Cheng plopped down on the chair and sighed, “Liu Guo and Wei Jingting are not in their rooms.”

It hit Fatty. “Did you call them?”

“Yes.”

“Doctor, things might not look good now, but we’ve found many clues.” Fatty consoled him. “You don’t need to worry. We have to be calm. Maybe they didn’t dare to answer the phone.” Fatty guessed, “After all, the ghosts might be calling them.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head. “I can’t be sure about Wei Jingting, but Liu Guo would answer the phone if he were still alive.”

To be honest, Fatty had a good impression of Liu Guo. At least after he had seen so many scheming teammates, someone like Liu Guo was rare. After he realised he couldn’t escape, he chose to use the last moments of his life to send out the clues to help his remaining teammates.

Fatty became severe. “If Wei Jingting and Liu Guo are dead,” He pressed his lips. “Then, it has to be related to Wu. To be honest, I think something’s wrong with him. He makes me feel uncomfortable.” Fatty frowned.

Jiang Cheng accepted the bowl. He took a few sips of the soup and held the bowl. “I have the same feeling.”

Fatty was relieved when he saw the Doctor eat the noodles. “Doctor, what is your opinion of those horror comics?” No one expected Lin Chen to record her experience in the format of a comic. The missing comic was suspicious. Based on the tone, the sender should be an editor. The missing story was vetoed due to the overly dark content.

“We’ll figure out a way to find He Zhong Culture tomorrow.” Jiang Cheng said, “We need to find that missing comic.” Then, he turned to address Fatty, “Do not trust anyone.” He reminded, “None of our teammates is a simple character.”

“Don’t worry, Doctor. I know.” Fatty nodded.

During this period, Banana Wolf’s group impressed Fatty. Hua Luo’s intelligence collection ability, Wan Xiaoning’s coolness and determination, and Banana Wolf’s ability to slip away from Wen Qing… They were all impressive teammates.

Fatty thought Chu Jiu was quite pitiable, but Jiang Cheng reminded him that all the cute girls they had encountered in the missions were experts at disguises. Fatty thought about it, and his mood dimmed.

Jiang Cheng soon left Fatty’s room. He swiped the other bowl of noodles.

When he returned to his room, Jiang Cheng leaned on the bed. He arranged the information in his mind. He tried to piece out the story. To be frank, they had too many clues. He needed to parse through them. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Cheng decided to arrange things chronologically. If Liu Guo wasn’t lying and he was transported back to July 7th, it meant that Lin Chen had completed her comic draft by then.

Based on Lee Maoshen’s diary, he planned everything before May 17th. The real shoot began after June 10th.

On the 19th of July, the women received the horror videos as warnings from Lee Maoshen. The next day, on July 20th, the women called the police.

The news stated that Lin Chen jumped from the building on the morning of July 21st. The police conducted their investigation into Lee Maoshen and Lin Chen that night.

Based on the autopsy report, Lin Chen had been dead for more than half a month before she jumped out the window. The report was a joint result of multiple coroners. It was trustworthy. Therefore, Lin Chen’s real time of death should be the start of July or earlier.

In that case… Jiang Cheng’s eyes shifted. Could an accident happen during one of the shoots? And the accident was Lin Chen’s real cause of death!
