Time ticked away, second by second.
Su Chen sat quietly in the room, waiting.
Zhou Qingyang stood outside the door, gripping a coffin nail tightly.
She could feel a chill creeping up her spine, straight to the top of her head.
The barrage of comments in the live stream had gone wild by now.
They were all warning her that something was behind her.
Through the live broadcast on her phone, Zhou Qingyang could also see a terrifying figure crouching in the corner of the hallway, slowly crawling closer to her in an eerie manner.
"Zhou, run! There's something behind you."
"Is that really a ghost?"
"Impossible, there's no such thing as ghosts in this world. It must be special effects for the show."
Due to the realism of the scene, a tiny fraction of people had started to believe what Su Chen had said.
Zhou Qingyang's whole body was tense.
She could clearly see the ghost approaching her on the live stream.
She was unable to control her body, shivering like she was being electrocuted.
This was the threat of death, a call of despair and unknown terror.
She had only one chance.
If she failed to pin the ghost down with the coffin nail, she would die.
The man inside the door wouldn't lend her a helping hand.
She needed to prove her worth.
The ghost was getting closer and closer.
An astonishing chill filled the hallway, making Zhou Qingyang feel as cold as a zombie.
The barrage of comments in the live stream disappeared at this moment.
Viewers stared wide-eyed at the female ghost behind Zhou Qingyang.
Even Hollywood couldn't create special effects of this level.
Although makeup could achieve the appearance of a female ghost, the crawling posture of the ghost was definitely not something a human could do.
Even stuntmen suspended by wires couldn't move so smoothly.
Fear crept into the minds of every viewer through the screen.
They instinctively started to step away from the screen.
Some even closed the live stream.
Rumors spread quickly, and soon many viewers came to see the ghost out of curiosity.
Most of them were skeptical and critical.
But when they entered the live stream, the scene left them stunned and breathless.
Out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Qingyang saw a pale arm appear on her shoulder.
The cold touch at the back of her neck made her nearly faint.
Yet, she still gritted her teeth.
This was her only chance, her one and only chance.
She waited for the ghost to get even closer.
Pale arms now appeared on both shoulders.
Her back ached intensely, as if something was preparing to burrow into her body.
The astonishing chill damaged Zhou Qingyang's internal organs, turning her breath into white mist.
Her falling black hair further stimulated Zhou Qingyang's senses.
She had reached her limit.
If she waited any longer, she would truly die.
Life hung by a thread, and if she didn't act now, when else would she?
She suddenly turned her head and drove the coffin nail in her hand into the female ghost's head with lightning speed.
It went in two inches deep but couldn't go any further.
The viewers in the live stream gasped, and the timid ones could barely stand up.
"It's over."
She hadn't pinned it down completely.
Instead, she had angered it.
At such close range, Zhou Qingyang could clearly smell the strong smell of decay on it and see the hysterical hatred and malice in its eyes.
She was going to die.
Just as despair and death enveloped Zhou Qingyang, the door exploded.
A spear, like a furious dragon, crushed into the female ghost, pinning it firmly to the wall.
Then the man appeared in front of the female ghost, raised his fist, and drove the coffin nail in its forehead deeper.
At this point, the female ghost stopped moving completely, like a corpse.
"Good job."
Su Chen had been watching Zhou Qingyang the whole time.
With her strength, she couldn't have driven the coffin nail completely into the female ghost's body.
But as long as she pinned the ghost down, it would give Su Chen a chance to strike.
Su Chen's sudden appearance left the entire live stream silent.
Was that kind of power possible for a human to possess?
He appeared suddenly.
Even if slowed down ten thousand times, he would still appear suddenly in front of the female ghost.
And Zhou Qingyang, who witnessed Su Chen's terror up close, was stunned, her legs weakening and collapsing to the ground.
She had actually had the courage to attack that man before.
If he wished, she would be instantly defeated.
They were not on the same level.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyang fully believed Su Chen's words without a single doubt.
"Finally, I've got you."
He picked up the three-pointed spear and lifted it up sharply, shattering the female ghost into pieces.
With another powerful shake, the female ghost turned into a pile of shredded meat.
That was the three-pointed spear, capable of causing fatal wounds.
The female ghost, now a pile of shredded meat, was truly dead beyond resurrection.
After its death, the surrounding environment changed.
The interior of the building disappeared, revealing a vague white fog in front of Su Chen.
The fog was thick, but it couldn't block Su Chen's bloodshot eyes.
He stood at the main entrance of Building 1.
Technically, it was the spot where he had just entered.
"It's indeed the Eye-Covering Ghost."
What he had seen inside the building before were all illusions.
Even his actions were illusions.
In fact, he had been circling in the same spot the whole time.
Da Chun, Red Bell, and Mundo had disappeared.
Presumably, they had entered Building 1 and were looking for him.
Zhou Qingyang was even more stunned.
Everything that happened today had completely overturned her worldview and common sense.
After killing the ghost, mist appeared around them, as if they had entered another world.
Seeing Su Chen leaving, Zhou Qingyang quickly followed.
"Staying here should be safer."
"Following me will be dangerous."
Zhou Qingyang shook her head and tightly grasped the corner of Su Chen's clothes, as if clutching at the last straw of hope.
Staying here, she might survive if she was lucky.
If not, she wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
If she followed Su Chen, there was still a glimmer of hope.
She was not a woman who handed her life over to fate.
Since she had said so, Su Chen didn't ask further.
If she hadn't entered the abandoned haunted building from Earth, causing some problems for the Eye-Covering Ghost,
Su Chen wouldn't have been able to defeat it so easily.
"What's your name?" Su Chen asked, turning back.
"Zhou Qingyang."
Upon hearing the name, Su Chen's face changed slightly.
He had heard of this woman in his previous life.
She wasn't the first wave of players chosen by the Horror World.
But she would be chosen by it sooner or later.
Because she was a top-ten player on the player rankings, while Su Chen had only reached twenty-seventh before his death.
"No wonder."
From fear to resistance, then adaptation, gambling with her life, and finally making a choice.
All of this showed that this woman was not ordinary.
Indeed, anyone who could make it onto the player rankings was never simple from the start.
