Nightmare Assault Chapter 42: Names

The suited man’s face was dark, but he still suppressed his anger. “How do you want me to prove that?”

The woman answered, “That is a problem you need to solve.”

They agreed to meet at the Prop Building. The woman NPC stressed this place, so this place must be important. Therefore, it would be extremely dangerous as well. The suited man and the man in the cap didn’t want to take this risk, so they chose to show up after everyone else. Even Zhou Taifu could see that. The way everyone looked at the suited man and his friend chilled.

“I have an idea.” Jiang Cheng jumped out from behind the woman with the ponytail. “We all know that ghosts are inexplicable presence in the missions. They are scary, creepy and hungry for blood… They are amalgamations of everything that is negative.” As he said that, he sidled closer to the suited man and his friend. This angered the man in the cap a lot. “What is your point?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Cheng licked his lips. “I mean… The biggest difference between humans and ghosts is that the latter has no emotions. They can’t control themselves. In contrast, humans can control their actions and emotions at any time.” He raised his head to look at the suited man with admiration, “I believe the real Guardian Angel will be able to do that.”

The sudden compliment made the suited man cautious of Jiang Cheng’s intention. He frowned as he looked at Jiang Cheng, “So…”

Before he could finish, Jiang Cheng raised his right hand. He didn’t have the time to react, and he felt a burning sensation on his left cheek. He couldn’t believe what had happened. He was just slapped…

Jiang Cheng dared to slap him!

But, soon, he realised how wrong he was.

Jiang Cheng dared to slap him more than once! His right cheek burned to pair with his left cheek. His two cheeks swelled at a visible speed.

He touched his handsome face with his trembling fingers. He pounced at Jiang Cheng like crazy. He roared, “I’m going to kill you!”

Jiang Cheng immediately turned and ran. Fatty shouted at the others, who were stunned, “Run! The man in the suit is a ghost!” He paused and then added, “He can’t control himself anymore!”

This incident only ended after the man in the cap detained the suited man. The man in the cap whispered something in the other man’s ear, and he gradually calmed down. He shot Jiang Cheng a fiery gaze and then ignored him.

After that, the man in the cap explained on the two’s behalf why they were late. They ran into the school’s discipline teacher when they were looking for clues at the education building. The teacher chatted with him and told him to bring the equipment to the music classroom on the fourth floor of Building C. There was a rehearsal there.

“Is there a specific time?” The woman in the ponytail asked.

The man with the cap glanced at his wristwatch. “No. She told us to find you, and we should go there together.” Just like that, the group was led by the man in the cap to Building C. Along the way, they traded information. However, just as Jiang Cheng predicted, there was nothing worth trading. Instead of information, it was more like they were exchanging their experience in the nightmare.

“Doctor.” Fatty walked up to Jiang Cheng and whispered to him. “Don’t you feel like this is similar to a media class?” He spat and continued, “I remember we would be served with extra homework to write down the lessons we’d learned after watching the movie.”

Jiang Cheng thought about it. “I do remember that. One time, our class teacher accidentally pulled from his own C drive, and the wrong movie played. From then on, we had no more media classes.”

Fatty, “...”

“By the way,” Zhou Taifu, who walked at the back, suddenly cut in, “What do you work as in real life? Why not be friends since we manage to meet here?”

Fatty glanced at him and said unwillingly, “What do you do?”

“I’m Zhou Taifu. I’m a jewellery merchant.” He pulled on his few wisps of hair to look more formal. “Some of you should have heard of me before.” It was clear that the man was rich in real life. He was also very proud of his identity.

Since Zhou Taifu had started this topic, everyone played along.

The man in the cap was called Luo Yi. It was an obvious fake name. He apparently ran a supermarket.

The suited man was called Zhen Jianren. He said he worked at a famous law firm. At his young age, he was already the vice president.

After hearing the man’s name, Fatty was stunned for a second. Jiang Cheng hummed.

“Doctor,” Fatty looked at Jiang Cheng. “Tell me honestly. Did you think of something?”

“What are you two talking about?” Zhen Jianren wanted to smack Jiang Cheng and Fatty to death.

“Nothing.” Jiang Cheng quickly explained, “Brother Jianren, please don’t misunderstand. We just thought your mother had given you the perfect name.”

The woman in the ponytail burst out laughing. She found Jiang Cheng to be very interesting. “What’s your name?” The woman looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, “What do you do?” She might look normal but she had a sharp presence. This was something not a normal woman could muster.

“The name’s Hao Shuai.” Jiang Cheng answered honestly, “You can refer to me by my name, or you can call me handsome. I’m a male model. I’m currently working at Butterfly KTV.”

Fatty, “...”

“A model?” The woman was more intrigued by Jiang Cheng. “The ones on magazines?”

“No.” Jiang Cheng said directly, “The ones who rely on their stamina and love from big sisters.”
