Nightmare Assault Chapter 398: Cooperation

“Turn back and see,” Wei Jingting narrowed his eyes. Wu was not worried. He could sense that Wei Jingting was too weak to pose any threat. He turned around. When he saw what was behind him, Wu frowned.

A dark red chain was curled around Lin Chen’s neck. It cut into her skin. The next second, it would inject curses into her body. Lin Chen bit her lips and didn’t make any sound. She knew that she was too powerless to survive a curse at this level. With a thought from this intruder, she would die.

“Hehe.” Wei Jingting stood up shakily. He slapped away the dust on his body and said, “Now, can we talk?” Wei Jingting knew about the connection between Lin Chen and Wu. Therefore, after he realised he was no match for Wu, he placed his bet on Lin Chen. Thankfully, his bet was correct. But…

His face paled when he saw Wu raise the sword. “What are you doing?” Wei Jingting hugged his arms. “Don’t be crazy!”

“I don’t like to be threatened.” Wu’s eyes burned with hatred. Lin Chen was very special to him. “And… with her life.”

Wei Jingting switched his tone, “I’m not threatening you. I merely want to have a conversation with Brother Wu. As you can see, the power of my door is only so strong. I can do some sneaky things but I can’t fight. Brother Wu, you are such an amazing person. Clearly, you won’t be interested in my door.” He pampered him, “Right? Plus, I have a suggestion.” Wei Jingting wanted to lean closer to Wu but when he saw the blade, he still stayed a safe distance away. He said as he slowly retreated.

“You can’t escape.” Wu interrupted him. “The moment you turn around, you’ll die.”

“Brother Wu, what are you saying?” Wei Jingting froze and huffed with indignation. “Do you think I’m that kind of person? Why are you so insistent on my door? Broaden your horizon. Aren’t there still two more doors?”

“Release the chain around her.” Wu looked at him. “Then, we can talk.”

Wei Jingting chuckled. “Brother Wu, you must be kidding. Do you think I’m dumb? If I release the chain, can we still have this talk? How about this? We can cooperate to get the two other doors!” Wei Jing patted his chest. “I guarantee it with my life and personality!”

Wu raised his head silently. He stared into Wei Jingting’s eyes, as if he was sure Wei Jingting hadn’t done talking.

“Of course.” Wei Jingting smiled, “If I don’t raise some conditions, I’m sure Brother Wu wouldn’t trust me. Other than letting me go…” He licked his lips as light crossed his eyes. “I need you to give someone to me.”

“Who?”

“Don’t you worry. She has nothing to do with the doors. It’s my personal grudge. You can have the two with the doors. I won’t intervene.”

“I said… who?” Wu’s tone became harder

Wei Jingting slowly grinned as he uttered a name, “Wan Xiaoning.”

…

Inside Building 2’s Room 404, Banana Wolf stood up from the couch. About half a minute ago, he heard a weird sound. It was hard to describe. It sounded like frictional rustling. It also sounded like someone choking. It wasn’t clear. However, he could confirm that the source of the sound was inside his room.

DRIP

There was a dripping sound. Banana Wolf whipped his head to look at the kitchen faucet.

DRIP

A drop of water dripped down the faucet. Then, another droplet gathered and fell. Banana Wolf frowned. He remembered not using this faucet before. Why would it start leaking at this moment…

It didn’t feel right. Slowly, the dripping became more insistent. Eventually, water poured out of the faucet steadily. The water sounded clearly in the silent night. The sound unsettled Banana Wolf greatly. His instinct told him that if he ignored this, something bad would happen. He stopped hesitating and rushed forward to switch off the faucet.

However, the drain pipe appeared to be stuck. The sink was filled with water. Plus, the water was oddly murky. Banana Wolf found a random chopstick in the kitchen. Then, he poked it into the drain. However, the feeling was weird. The thing that stuffed the drainage appeared to be something very soft. Plus… Banana Wolf’s face paled. Something in the water was pulling on the chopstick. He wanted to pull the chopstick out but the force pulling the chopstick heightened. As he was about to let go, the thing in the water beat him to it. Banana Wolf held the chopstick and staggered backwards. His heart pounded like drums.

When he took a good look at the chopstick, Banana Wolf’s pupils trembled. The front end of the chopstick… was lined with many teeth marks. He quickly dropped the chopstick in fear.

However, the anomaly didn’t stop there. Moments later, a gurgling sound came from the sink like the water was boiling. Then, an inky hand reached out from the sink. With a wet plop, it grabbed the edge of the sink. As the hand slowly pulled its body out of the sink, Banana Wolf was stunned.

He couldn’t imagine how such a giant person could crawl out of such a small drainage pipe!

When the person raised its head, Banana Wolf sucked in a cold breath. The figure’s jaw had been cut off. It was lined with teeth. The teeth were squeezed together. The scariest thing was Banana Wolf recognised this person from his clothes. This was Liu Guo who called them not too long ago.

The dead Liu Guo slowly approached Banana Wolf. He opened his mouth wide and almost swallowed Banana Wolf’s head.

Just as Liu Guo was about to succeed, his head froze. A hand grabbed his head from behind. Then, with a crack, Liu Guo’s world turned upside down.

“Banana Wolf.” Wen Qing asked, “Are you alright?” With a blade in her right hand, Wen Qing asked with concern.

On the other hand, the corpse that had lost its head collapsed to the ground.
