We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 240 The self-righteous Chen Tiantian, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! (4k)

Thinking this, the challenger from the Central Chamber of Commerce went downstairs to investigate the situation, even though he was very impatient.

Downstairs, the challenger, his body wrapped in bandages and with severed arms and legs, lay motionless on the ground, seemingly lifeless and beyond dead.

"What bad luck... Before even encountering a ghost, they killed themselves by falling. It's no exaggeration to say that these things are useless trash."

The challenger from the Central Chamber of Commerce crouched down and examined the area.

Upon discovering that the corpse on the ground was gradually growing cold, with even the last vestiges of life fading away, he stood up, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

But just as the challenger turned around, a withered hand landed on his shoulder.

"open······"

The sound was only half-uttered before it was blocked back up in his throat.

A strange, chilling aura spread upwards from his back until it covered his entire body.

His originally normal skin color turned pale, and faint lividity appeared on his surface. At first glance, he looked like a real dead person.

The challenger's consciousness was invaded by something; although it wasn't immediately destroyed, it was close.

If we were to draw an analogy, it's like a puppet being led by strings, unable to think for itself and only able to be manipulated by the person holding the strings.

What's that noise?

Upstairs in the church, another challenger groggily woke up from his sleep.

But before he could fully clear his mind, he saw a familiar face.

This is his companion.

However, his companion at this moment appeared subtly different from usual.

His gaze was somewhat vacant, as if he were daydreaming, but since the challenger had been asleep and had just woken up, he was still in a dazed state and did not pay much attention to these minor details.

But as the other person extended a pale, cold arm and made contact with him, he realized what the problem was.

A terrifying supernatural force spread and invaded from the point of contact between the two, running rampant everywhere. If this supernatural force were left unchecked, the two would eventually become puppets of the challenger whose limbs had been broken.

At that point, even if the challenger himself is unable to move, he can use the bodies of the two of them to do things for him, and fully share information.

No one expected that, not long after entering the instance, the challengers would start fighting amongst themselves.

In fact, the first to launch an attack was not Lu Ming, whom the Central Chamber of Commerce had been wary of, but those "beasts" who posed no threat in their eyes.

This dramatic reversal was something the challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce never dreamed of.

“You treated us like livestock, first abusing us and then exploiting us, never considering our feelings... never even treating us as real human beings.”

"But you don't know that those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Today, Heaven has given me this opportunity for revenge, and none of you who are associated with the Central Chamber of Commerce will escape..."

The challenger's face gradually emerged from the shadows: rotting flesh, jagged bones, a sickly appearance from prolonged lack of sunlight...

Besides his grotesque and terrifying appearance, the challenger's voice was also extremely hoarse and unpleasant, like a demon crawling out of hell.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The already dimly lit church was shrouded in a thick gloom, making everything in sight blurry and indistinct.

"Who? Who's there!"

The challenger, whose limbs had been severed, was startled and directed the two newly acquired "puppets" to look in a certain direction.

The shadows there are the thickest, and the eerie atmosphere is the strongest.

The next moment, a little girl with long, flowing golden hair slowly emerged from the shadows.

She stared coldly at several figures not far away, lost in thought.

The challenger from the Central Chamber of Commerce naturally knew who Chen Tiantian was.

The fear instilled by prolonged abuse and imprisonment made him instinctively want to escape.

However, he thought for a moment: "I can control two challengers now, and Chen Tiantian is only one person... plus my own abilities... I may have a chance of winning, and even a high chance of winning. There is no need to be afraid."

Thinking of this, he calmed down a bit and cast a sinister glance at Chen Tiantian again.

"I was planning to go find you, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative, which is exactly what I wanted."

But the challenger had only spoken halfway through his sentence when he sensed something was amiss.

He felt his head was very dizzy and heavy, as if it were constantly falling, like a person who was drowsy.

This sudden feeling was unusual, as if it foreshadowed something terrible about to happen.

He frantically tried to lift his head back up, but he couldn't manage such a simple action.

Boom!
With a muffled thud, a head fell to the ground.

It was only then that he realized what had happened—Chen Tiantian had somehow managed to cut off his head completely, a gruesome and bloody scene.

The severed head and the mangled body were covered with countless dense threads that had somehow appeared on their surfaces.

This puppeteer, who thought he could control others, has now been turned into a puppet by the other challengers...

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The puppeteer's companion, another challenger whose limbs had been broken, was also easily killed just now.

There was no resistance, and no sound was made.

After this incredibly simple confrontation, with no suspense about the outcome, the two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce regained their senses and were freed from their terrifying restraints.

The reason they were able to recover is that the puppeteer had not erased their consciousness, but only blurred and paralyzed it, turning them into "puppets" who could not think for themselves.

Now, Chen Tiantian's arrival has disrupted this situation, and their consciousness has naturally returned to normal.

Looking at her two former subordinates, Chen Tiantian's eyes flickered, and her expression changed slightly.

She secretly considered whether to kill the two guys right now, but after much deliberation, Chen Tiantian gave up on the idea.

This was certainly not because she was sentimental or had any other concerns.

Once you participate in the Silent Hill team-based competitive dungeon and are assigned to different teams, it's inevitable that someone will die here.

Not to mention that Chen Tiantian's mission was to disrupt the game and wipe out all the other teams. The only reason she did this was that Chen Tiantian didn't take these two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce seriously.

She could kill them both at any time if she wanted to.

What Chen Tiantian truly feared was Lu Ming.

"With these two guys helping me confuse the situation, dealing with Lu Ming should be easier."

"Moreover... judging from the situation just now, the two of them have successfully infiltrated this church. If I kill them, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the believers."

"On the contrary, if I gain the trust of these two guys, I can easily infiltrate the church, just as the main god panel suggests."

These thoughts can be completed in an instant in the brain.

Having figured these points out, Chen Tiantian crossed her arms, looked at the two challengers who had survived the ordeal, and feigned anger, saying:

"It's only been a short time since we separated, and you've already fallen into such a sorry state. If I had arrived any later, would you have really been turned into puppets by those guys? You're a disgrace to our Central Chamber of Commerce. It's a waste of breath to say another word to you."

The two challengers didn't find the insults particularly offensive.

On the contrary, they found it incredibly beautiful and were deeply moved.

That familiar voice, that familiar way of cursing, coupled with their joy at surviving the ordeal, made Chen Tiantian their goddess at that moment.

"Boss, you're right. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise we would all be doomed here. We will definitely not make the same mistake again next time."

"Yeah, boss, you have no idea how much we've missed you these past few days."

"okay."

Chen Tiantian waved her hand: "No need for idle chatter. Although we've been assigned to different groups this time, our goal is the same. You can tell me about your situation... The only one we need to be wary of is that troublemaker Lu Ming..."

If Chen Tiantian suddenly appeared without warning and said these strange things, they might have some concerns and would at least need to investigate.

But now, Chen Tiantian is not only their former superior, but also their savior, so they cannot have any doubts about her.

After a brief exchange, the challenger pondered for a moment and said, "Given the current situation, we should reunite with Chen Feng and the others. We don't need to worry about the God's group assignments; we just need to complete the tasks assigned by the God together."

Clearly, this challenger's idea was naive, and he didn't take into account the competitive relationship between different teams at all.

He still held the same old view: since everyone was a challenger to the Central Chamber of Commerce, putting aside their usual relationship, they would naturally help each other since they would see each other all the time.

Realizing what the challenger was thinking, Chen Tiantian couldn't help but sneer.

We see each other all the time, don't we?
Those who fail to complete the main god's mission will have no chance of surviving this horror movie scenario.

To talk about the future is simply absurd.

"We've decided to gather everyone together, but the problem is... our previous communication tools are completely unusable in this instance world, and it's full of dangers. Venturing out here could easily lead to trouble. How are we going to find them?"

Chen Tiantian sneered, "There's no need to worry about that. As long as we wait here, they will naturally come. Once the Inner World invades, something terrible will happen. This place is the only safe place for now."

···········
Chen Tiantian believed her plan was flawless and continued to make arrangements.

In her view, no one will ever understand her actions.

that's the truth.

The challenger team responsible for guarding the church completely trusted her and even told Chen Tiantian about their mission.

"Is it necessary to station personnel at the church to prevent invasion from the other world?"

"My mission is to act as an inside agent and cause chaos, wiping out both teams in the instance. So, Lu Ming's mission should be to assist the terrifying entity hidden in the shadows in allowing the underworld to invade the church."

Although Chen Tiantian's reasoning was not entirely correct, it was fairly accurate, at least in the general direction.

As she planned, the situation gradually became clearer.

The only thing that puzzled Chen Tiantian was that the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon didn't seem to be as difficult as she had imagined.

Even though some unexpected things happened, such as not being directly matched with those contestants who were kept in captivity, and even being betrayed and stabbed by them, overall, the problems were not serious.

···········
the other side.

In the town of Silent Hill.

After achieving counter-invasion at the level of consciousness, Lu Ming was fully aware of everything that was happening in the town.

"Do you find the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon too easy? Don't you feel any pressure?"

"That's a normal way of thinking."

"After all, we haven't encountered any truly difficult situations yet."

"For the other challengers, I am the biggest pressure in this instance."

Afterwards, Lu Ming followed this group of people to search for clues from the paintings left by Alessa, and through continuous investigation, he eventually learned many secrets of this town.

At some point.

The already oppressive and gloomy sky seemed to have been drawn back with a curtain, making it feel suffocating.

The air raid siren sounded at the same time as a flock of black birds.

The blackbirds flapped their wings and emitted sharp, piercing cries in mid-air.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Ming and Chen Tiantian, who were in different places, simultaneously realized that the invasion of the inner world was imminent.

Moreover, this time, the scale and duration of the invasion from the other world are unprecedented, and it will affect the entire town.

Lu Ming had previously allowed that crimson rust to gradually erode the entire town. Although he hadn't truly succeeded yet, it had still caused considerable impact.

From a purely intuitive perspective, the invasions from the other world have become more frequent, and the level of terror has also increased.

"The church. We can only survive if we go to the church. It's the only place in the Otherworld that we can't invade."

All the clues gathered earlier pointed to the last hope for survival: the church.

When Lu Ming looked at the most conspicuous building in the town, his reaction was different from the others.

Because he knew that the other two teams participating in this instance were currently in the church.
