Game, Live Stream

Chapter 82



Chapter 82

Xiao Tangqiu also didn’t know why he was so impulsive. He knew that he was definitely not the kind of good person who sacrificed his life for righteousness and morals... But the moment he saw that Shen Yuan was about to be shot by the bullet, he rushed forward without hesitation. Without even thinking about it, his body reacted instinctively.

It wasn’t until a tearing pain came from his back that he realized what he had done. At that moment, terrible pain overcame all of his senses. He didn’t even have time to look at Shen Yuan for a final time before he completely lost all consciousness.

Xiao Tangqiu felt like he had fallen into endless darkness, like stepping into the abyss below a cliff. He seemed to be floating aimlessly, with no direction, coming and going nowhere. There was only darkness before him.

Did a person have a soul after death?

He once obsessed about this question after the death of Meng Xinghe, but he still didn’t know the answer. After coming to this strange horror game world, he discovered that people did have souls after death. And the worse they die, the more likely they were to become an evil spirit... But did people still have a soul left after being shot by Shen Yuan’s gun?

Xiao Tangqiu thought about this question blankly in the dark. Was he in a soul state now? But wasn’t that gun capable of destroying evil spirits? Why hadn’t he disappeared?

At this moment, a door suddenly appeared in front of him. Yes, a door suddenly appeared out of thin air in the endless darkness.

That door floated in the darkness like Xiao Tangqiu, sometimes floating in place and sometimes rotating; sometimes far away and sometimes close by. After seeing the appearance of the door, a storm passed through his heart. Of course, it was not simply due to a door appearing in the middle of the darkness, it was because this door... it was exactly the same as the door of his room! It’s exactly the same as the door of his room in his home in the real world!

Xiao Tangqiu remembered that he had opened this door countless times to enter his room, and then opened this door to leave his room. He went through this door countless times. Although he had never paid attention to this door, he cared very much about it. The door was extremely familiar. Behind this door was the place he is familiar with, the computer he was familiar with...

Before he could think too much, he subconsciously floated towards the door. Soon, he floated to the door and reached out to twist the doorknob. Before he could consider if ghosts could even open doors, it had been opened by him.

...Wait, ghosts could actually open doors?

Xiao Tangqiu impatiently floated into the room and was instantly shaken by all the familiar things in the room. The familiar bed, the familiar wardrobe, the familiar desk, and the familiar computer... This was clearly his room!

To prove his conjecture, he floated toward the table and tentatively turned on the computer. He had just touched the mouse on the table and the computer screen suddenly lit up. The computer was turned on!

Not only was the computer turned on, but the desktop happened to be the interface of his live streaming room. A dense wall of chatter scrolled past his eyes, and he realized that his live stream room was actually open!

Xiao Tangqiu was completely confused. What was going on? Someone was streaming in his studio? Who was streaming? Could it be himself?

Without knowing why, he shuddered at the thought of this possibility.

Xiao Tangqiu widened his eyes and stared at the content of the live stream. The scene being streamed on the screen was where he leaped up to block the bullet for Shen Yuan. Everything was like a movie from a third person’s perspective. He also saw a lot of details that he didn’t notice at the moment: the blankness on his face the moment he was shot by the bullet, as well as Shen Yuan’s expression cracking... This was the first time he saw Shen Yuan’s face reveal this expression, whether it is before or after Shen Yuan’s amnesia.

Everything that happened earlier was revealed in the live stream channel. All the details were enlarged and enlarged again. He looked back calmly and numbly from the perspective of a bystander, and his heart was unprecedentedly serene and weary.

The screen of the live stream was frozen here as if the live stream had suddenly ended. It was followed by the unique blank interface after a live stream ended.

However, the chat barrage hadn’t stopped yet, Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously checked the chat——

“555 What a beautiful love! I’m stanning this

CP

!”

“I shed tears for this pair of CPs again! What kind of godly CP is this! Hurry up and get married yinyinyinyin!”

“Of course it is the YuanQiu CP composed of Shen Yuan’s Yuan and Xiao Tangqiu’s Qiu. Roundball sounds cuter yinyinyinyin!”

And what the hell was that full screen of “yinyinyinyin”, were these “yinyinyinyin” fans really his fans? His fans could actually CP his corpse? He was already gone, what CP are they screaming for? Human/Ghost romance?!

Just when the corners of his mouth twitched, he found normal chatter mixed in the CP barrage.

“The host was very cute, pity he died!”

“Pity he died +1! I haven’t watched enough of this live stream!”

“Go well, host! Light up the candle! Candle X10, Candle X20, Candle X50”

“The host was a decent person before his death, and he went very peacefully. May there be a live stream room in heaven! Candle X100”

Xiao Tangqiu, “...”

He took it back! These barrages were also not normal at all!

Just as he was madly complaining in his heart, a system prompt popped up in front of him: “Detecting that the host is dead, would you like to choose to resurrect on the spot? Resurrection on the spot requires 2333 Roast Value.”

...Resurrect on the spot?!

Resurrect on the spot!!

Xiao Tangqiu almost thought he had read it wrong. He rubbed his eyes several times before confirming that the four words really meant “resurrect on the spot” rather than “reincarnate on the spot” and definitely not “explode on the spot”. Was his useless trash ability about to finally come in handy?

He excitedly moved the mouse and selected “Resurrect on the Spot” between the options “Resurrect on the Spot” and “Actually Let Me Die”. The next second, another system prompt window popped out, “To use Resurrect on the Spot, the Roast cost is 2333, the remaining Roast is 0, the number of times this skill is used in this instance is 1/1, the loading of the skill is 100 days, and the next time the skill is used requires 23333 Roast, 99 days before resurrection.” After that was a countdown clock showing: “99”.

Xiao Tangqiu, “...”

He wanted to cuss at too many parts! He didn’t even know where to begin!

Where was the agreed resurrected on the spot! Isn’t the literal meaning of resurrecting on the spot to resurrect right here and now? The skill actually needed 100 days! He would only be resurrected in 100 days! By then his body would be cold! No, wait! His body would be gone!

So this was the purpose of the Roast Value that he could never figure out! A resurrection requires 2333 Roast Value, and he just had 2333 Roast value? Was this a predestined coincidence? Although this skill was a bit broken, the next use would cost 23333 Roast Value. How long would it take to save up 23333 Roast Value? Would it be 233333 if he died again after?

Although he was full of complaints, Xiao Tangqiu was still very excited about his resurrection. After all, if he could live, who would want to die?

But at the same time, he also felt very speechless about the 100-day loading bar. This was too long! If he had a grave, the grass on top of his grave would be three meters high!

As he cussed, his vision suddenly went dark, and then the world spun.

When Xiao Tangqiu recovered, he realized that he had returned to the instance world.

Did he really resurrect on the spot?

His heart beat wildly and just as he got excited, he suddenly realized that the live stream channel had not disappeared from before him. There was also a countdown display interface at the top of the live stream channel: “99 Days to Resurrection”

...So he had not been resurrected yet. Was he in a ghost state now?

The barrage in the live stream still didn’t stop. Xiao Tangqiu became annoyed and quickly found the shielding function and blocked the chat.

He rushed to the place where he died earlier, only to find that everything seemed to be over. Not only was the Kisaragi Shrine razed to the ground, the entire Holy Mountain was turned into ruins. All of the grass was gone and the land was shattered.

He frantically searched in the ruins and finally found traces of Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan was buried under the ruins with only one hand exposed.

As a hand-con, Xiao Tangqiu recognized Shen Yuan just by that hand. He rushed forward to dig out Shen Yuan, but his hand passed through. He had no physical body and it was impossible to touch Shen Yuan right now.

He tried countless times, but his hands went straight through. he could only shout desperately, “Shen Yuan! Shen Yuan! Wake up! Don’t sleep! Wake up!”

Shen Yuan remained motionless.

Xiao Tangqiu wasn’t even sure if Shen Yuan was still alive, and could only hover around Shen Yuan with worry. After a while, someone suddenly appeared on top of the ruins.

He looked up in fear, but it was Xue Junli and Duan Hongzhen, as well as Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu. All four of them suffered serious injuries. Xue Junli had a big hole in his thigh, Duan Hongzhen broke an arm, and Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu were also covered in dirt and blood.

“Here! Over here!” Yu Fuling seemed to sense something and rushed the others, “Quickly dig! His breath is very weak!”

Duan Hongzhen took out a knife, “Leave it to me!”

Xue Junli’s face was pale, “You have broken an arm, let me do it.”

Duan Hongzhen scoffed, “So what if one arm is broken, one of me is better than six!”

Sai Lulu yelled, “Stop fighting! Dig together! If you don’t dig, the captain will die!”

The four of them looked chastised and no longer tried to pretend to be strong and they all began to dig. Xiao Tangqiu was so anxious he circled them. But no one could see him.

Why could they see resentful spirits but not him?

Wasn’t his grievance serious enough? Did he have to turn himself into a resentful ghost first?

After a long time, the four of them finally dug out Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan suffered the most serious injury. His clothes were torn apart, his intestines were hanging out, he was covered in blood. Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu’s eyes reddened.

Xue Junli suddenly discovered something, “The captain seems to be holding something...”

Shen Yuan’s hand was clenched into a fist as if holding something. Yu Fuling tentatively tried to pry it open, but she couldn’t.

Xiao Tangqiu stared dumbly at Shen Yuan’s current appearance and unwittingly reached out to touch Shen Yuan’s pale face.

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Let’s find a way to get out of here...”

The moment Xiao Tangqiu’s hand touched Shen Yuan’s cheek... as he passed through, Shen Yuan suddenly twitched, and his hand loosened.

A torn piece of clothing came down.

“What is this?”

“Don’t know...”

Xiao Tangqiu stared blankly at the somewhat familiar corner of clothing, it seemed to be a corner of his clothes.
