Chapter 13: 2 Bread with Cheese (?)
TL note: Not sure if the title is correct, if you have a better suggestion just write it in the comments. 2面包夾芝士
The moment Guan Shan heard the mechanical voice.
In the blink of an eye, everything he saw seemed to have a filter added, and changed in an instant.
“Bzzzzzz—”
The lights in the bus flickered twice.
In the gaps between the flickering lights, the entire bus started squirming.
That’s right…squirm.
The purplish-red flesh wall that was glued together by countless tiny blood vessels spread from the pool of blood beneath the seat of the decapitated passenger, growing wildly in all directions, as if to swallow everything.
“What the fuck is that?!”
Guan Shan was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale as he took several steps back.
He shivered with fear then quickly opened his backpack and equipped everything that could be equipped!
There are a total of four equipment slots, but the functions of each are different. The weapon slots are the two on the left and right, while the two on the head and body are the accessory slots respectively.
The large boning knife in the left, and the Glock 17 with unlimited bullets in the right.
【Butcher’s Heart】on the other hand is an accessory that belongs to the body.
The instant the 【Butcher’s Heart】 was equipped, Guan Shan clearly felt another heartbeat in his chest resonating with his original heartbeat.
“Thump! Thump! Thump!”
The blood pumped was stronger, thicker, and seemed to carry the desire of a dead soul to tear everything apart.
But the heart was merely a simulation after all, and after only a few hallucinatory beats, it calmed down.
“Phew…”
Guan Shan touched his chest, took a deep breath, and felt a little safer.
Even if you know that everything in front of you is a simulation, the sensation of something unknown drowning you will still cause a strong sense of panic.
But fortunately… he is no longer the same newbie he was in the first simulation!
Guan Shan glanced at the items still in his backpack, no matter what strange monsters appear in the future, he had the confidence to face them.
When the light flickered once more.
The wall of flesh only covered the middle compartment, wrapping the passenger’s body and the seat in it, only revealing the severed neck.
From a distance, it looked like a strange statue.
At the front of the bus, the driver who had no presence till now slowly got up from his seat.
“Click.”
The driver calmly stretched out his white-gloved hand and opened the partition door next to the seat.
He raised his head and looked at Guan Shan from a distance… No, he had no eyes!
Therefore, this cannot be called “looking” in the traditional sense.
Not only did the driver have no eyes, but he was also missing every other sensory organ.
However, Guan Shan felt a creepy sensation akin to being “watched”.
The face of the driver looked similar to dough that was made up of countless overlapping human faces that had been kneaded into a ball, with expressions that seemed to be crying and struggling.
But when you looked closely, you will find that there is nothing on it.
This “stare-off” did not last long.
Guan Shan was already stiff and had the driver’s notification appear in front of him.
【BOSS【Faceless】 Driver (lv.10)】
【HP: 10000】
【Explanation: Your face is my face. 】
“Fuck!”
Guan Shan became dumbfounded, he ignored the tension of the situation, looked at the notification once more, and counted the zeros again, making sure that he was right.
10,000 Hp, a full 10,000 Hp!
Guan Shan was shocked, what kind of level is this?
He is now level 9, even with the 10% passive bonus from the 【Rotten Flesh Pile】, he only had 990 HP, while the opponent was merely one level higher than him yet had HP that was more than ten times higher!
Guan Shan couldn’t understand, but he was shocked.
Is this game still playable?!
Am I really playing a horror game simulator, and not a Fromsoftware simulator?
Oh, in a sense, Fromsoftware games would fall under the horror genre… After all, what normal game would traumatize you by killing you hundreds of times!
And this time there were no mobs for him to kill to gain experience.
In other words, he is now going to solo 10,000 HP with 1,000…Hahahahahaha… Or else kill himself?
Guan Shan was almost stunned by this dog simulator.
The lights flickered for a second time.
The surroundings plunged into darkness and regained light.
And this time, what appeared in front of Guan Shan was a world completely wrapped in flesh.
The steel structure of the bus was completely submerged in flesh and blood. Whether it’s chairs, pillars, railings, or anything else, it was all covered by blood and flesh walls, squirming as if it might jump at any time.
Guan Shan retreated subconsciously, but the soles of the shoes felt the same soft and slippery touch.
It was extremely disgusting and uncomfortable.
Guan Shan took another deep breath and tried to calm himself down a bit.
Although it is a monster with ten times the amount of HP, thinking carefully, at the time of the Carnivorous restaurant, he was a lv.1 newbie at the beginning, and he was still able to defeat the lv.8 Boss chef.
In fact, it also had ten times the amount, but at that time he lacked his current equipment.
So, the difficulty given by the simulator should not be as high as he thought…
“Stab—-“
There was an ear-piercing sound of sharp metal scraping from the top of Guan Shan.
He shivered and felt a chill from the roof above his head.
No, it’s actually cold!
Guan Shan swiftly looked up and saw a touch of moonlight leaking from the roof of the bus.
In the gloomy and terrifying surroundings, the moonlight was like a beacon in the dark night, dazzling and deadly.
Because along with it, there was a long, fierce black insect!
Through the pierced hole in the bus roof, a huge spider-shaped monster was perched on the roof, stabbing its sharp legs into the bus.
【【Bug Cage】 Spider (lv.9)】
【HP: 1200】
【Explanation: It only weaves nightmares. 】
“BAM!”
In a flash, Guan Shan only managed to dodge awkwardly.
But the side of the arthropod was sharp as a knife and still left a deep scar on his face.
HP-5!
Guan Shan didn’t have time to celebrate.
In the next moment, there was an additional 【Poisoned】 in his status.
And below the health bar, there was another green progress bar.
The system with a friendly reminder once more.
【Negative status buffer bar triggered】
【When the player gains a Negative status, there will be a certain buffer time. If the negative status is not cleared when the progress bar is filled, a certain amount of blood will be slowly deducted by a percentage】
“Oh fuck how sweet… well, this time it really is sweet.”
Guan Shan really did not expect to be poisoned and still be given a buffer time to take medicine. The horror game simulator really has a conscience!
It just so happened that in the novice combo pack that cost him 648 to buy, the effect of the “emergency bandage”, in addition to restoring a large amount of Hp, also removed one negative status!
“Thank God, it turns out that all the novice gift packages were the last conscience of the manufacturers for the players!”
The Driver and the Spider had sandwiched him like two buns.
Guan Shan used the “emergency bandage”, ignored the wound on his face, and quickly wrapped it around his wrist.
