Chapter 41: Hold Your Breath
"The lucky ghost favored by your courage is amazing. This nightmare mission is both a test and a reward!"
"The name of the following game is Deep Water, which can transcend life and death and allow you to see the dead."
"Task requirements: Enter the bathroom alone at 3:30 am, lock the bathroom door and turn off the lights, fill the bathtub with water, light a candle around it, and then lie in it."
"3:30 am to 3:44 am is the most intense night, and it is also the intersection of the yin and yang transformation in the day. All you need to do is to hold your breath at 3:44, sink into the bottom of the pool, and silently recite the name of the person you want to see most in your heart."
"When time goes between the gap between night and dawn, you can see him on the edge of life and death."
"Successfully meet the person you miss, the task will be successful. If you haven't seen it, the task will automatically succeed after 60 seconds of holding your breath."
After reading the task information on the black phone, Chen Ge was in a very complicated mood.
Compared with the first nightmare-level task, this task feels much simpler. Close your eyes for thirty minutes in a terrifying environment requires strong psychological quality and extraordinary courage. Most people can do it for 60 seconds of holding your breath.
But it is precisely because most people can do that he feels uneasy. This is a nightmare-level task after all, and there must be some unknown risk hidden.
"The same as the last nightmare mission site, they were all carried out in the bathroom. The difference is that if you sink into the bath this time, you have to hold your breath for 60 seconds." He thought about the entire mission process carefully, and counted the preparation time, it was only a dozen minutes to put it bluntly. What terrifying things can happen in such a short time?
Chen Ge was a little moved, not only because this task looked simple, but also because of a sentence in the task introduction - you can cross life and death and see the dead person you miss.
The more critical it was, the calmer Chen Ge would be. He sat on the chair, thinking about a certain possibility.
His parents disappeared in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs, leaving behind a black cell phone and a mutton puppet. He activated the black cell phone while he was about to give up the horror house.
When performing the first nightmare-level mission in the future, the mutton became a key prop to prevent the monsters in the mirror from coming out. It is worth pondering that the mutton and the black mobile phone are both relics of their parents. Is it possible that these two things were deliberately left behind?
If everything is really what they have assigned, then this second nightmare mission is worth the fun.
"Maybe they want to see me in this way and then reveal more information?" Of course, this is just Chen Ge's guess. In fact, no matter whether the nightmare-level task was assigned by his parents or not, Chen Ge would do this task.
Crossing life and death and meeting the people you meet is an opportunity for Chen Ge to confirm whether his parents still exist in this world.
If he can't see him, it means that his parents are just missing and are still alive.
If I saw it, it proved that Chen Ge's first guess was that his parents had something to tell him about the black phone, perhaps their true last words were hidden in the phone.
"It seems I have no choice." Chen Ge glanced at the watch. It was 2:55 in the morning, and there were thirty-five minutes before the mission began: "It took too long to smash the mirror on the third floor, and it was not easy to deal with."
The task requires lying in a bathtub filled with water, but the only room in the haunted house with a bathtub is in the midnight battle royale scene.
At the end of the employee passage is connected to a room with a bathtub. When Chen Ge was scaring Heshan and the others before, he went in and out of the scene.
"There are thirty-five minutes left. Now I will definitely not have time to go out to find a hotel with a bathtub. I can only just go to the monsters in the mirror." Since I made a choice, Chen Ge would not hesitate anymore. He put all four dolls on his body, ran out of the haunted house, slipped into the paradise employee cafeteria in the middle of the night, and carried two kitchen knives out.
"Although this kitchen knife has never slaughtered pigs and sheep, I have met the chef with it before, so it should be considered a raw killer." He put the kitchen knife at the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was no killing aura, only a strong smell of green pepper, which made him cry.
After returning to the haunted house, Chen Ge ran with an iron bucket, bathroom and bathroom. With ten minutes left before the mission began, he finally filled the bathtub with water.
"The preparations are completed and we can start." The main entrance of the midnight battle royale scene was locked. Chen Ge entered through the employee passage. He stood alone in the bathroom according to the task requirements on the black phone.
The mirror in this room had been smashed by Chen Ge long ago. At this time, fragments on the ground were creaking and creaking when they stepped on it.
"The noise caused by transporting water just now is quite loud. The monster in the mirror should have known that I was coming in, but it doesn't matter. I just need to last the minute of holding my breath and it will be safe."
In Chen Ge's opinion, this task is strange, but not too dangerous.
He locked the bathroom door, placed the puppet left by his parents behind him behind the door, and then placed the four puppets that held the victim's thoughts around the bathtub.
"Everyone, it's up to you later. We have to buy me a minute no matter what!"
Like the last time, he turned on his phone's camera and placed it at a suitable angle to record the video. However, because the room was too dark, the screen was almost pitch black, and he could only barely see a figure.
With three minutes left, Chen Ge took out everything in his pocket and placed it on the toilet. According to the black phone's request, he lit a candle around the bathtub.
The swaying candlelight became the only light source in the house, reflecting the fragments of the mirror on the ground, and Chen Ge's figure appeared in each fragment.
He took off his shirt and walked to the bathtub.
There were shallow ripples on the water surface. The bathtub was obviously very shallow, but because the light was too dark, it was impossible to see the bottom at a glance.
He reached out to tease the water surface, and a chill climbed up Chen Ge's body along his fingertips. He couldn't help but shivered: "This task is really weird."
Finally, Chen Ge sat in the bathtub with two kitchen knives.
As he entered, the water suddenly came out and spilled all over the ground, flowing on top of the fragments of the mirror.
“So cold…”
Chen Ge felt that the heat in his body was passing rapidly, and even his heartbeat was much slower.
The water droplets dripped along the edge of the bathtub, and there was no other sound in the house.
"One minute, as long as you survive this minute, you will get a reward and verify my guess!"
Chen Ge kept adjusting his breathing, waiting for the arrival of 3:44 in the morning.
Chapter completed!
