Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 166 Restrictions

Yu Hansheng walked very fast, and when he had walked about 150 meters, he stopped.

Yu Hansheng narrowed his eyes and tentatively stretched out his hands.

He actually touched a human shoulder, but the person didn't seem to be Jiang Qi.

Because he could touch the hair on his shoulder, while Jiang Qi didn't have hair that long.

The person in front of him always had his back to Yu Hansheng, and even when he took a picture, his body only trembled slightly.

A silence spread, and neither of them spoke first.

This stalemate wasn't going to work, so Yu Hansheng withdrew her hands, but the other person moved.

Her hands were deathly pale, and even in the darkness, one could see her arms slightly raised, a chilling aura enveloping Yu Hansheng.

Fortunately, she didn't do anything. She simply pointed to Yu Hansheng's right and then lowered her hand.

Then, she turned around and slowly walked forward.

Was she just pointing herself in the right direction?

It turned out that when Yu Hansheng patted her shoulder, she was facing him the whole time, but her face was covered by her hair.

Anyone else would have been terrified, but Yu Hansheng felt that the person meant him no harm.

Perhaps she played the Four Corners game before and has been trapped in the haunted house ever since.

Yu Hansheng rubbed his right hand against the wall, and sure enough, it was here.

He pushed open the door and saw Jiang Qi's back.

In the Four Corners game, participants cannot turn around and must stand in the corner and wait for the next person to come.

Yu Hansheng gently patted Jiang Qi's shoulder, feeling the warmth of a living person beneath his hand, and Jiang Qi breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"President Jiang, the actual distance of the corridor is 150 meters."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Qi responded softly, and then slowly moved forward under Yu Hansheng's gaze.

Whether you open your eyes or close them, it's all darkness; so why not just keep walking forward with your eyes closed?

The walls were cold, exuding a chill.

There were no unexpected incidents along the way; in fact, it was almost too safe.

Jiang Qi did not let his guard down; his eyes remained tightly closed, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Jiang Qi would feel more at ease if any ghosts or monsters appeared on the road to obstruct him.

There was no danger whatsoever, but Jiang Qi actually felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Qi easily reached the end of the 150-meter stretch.

However, he did not sense any aura unique to Lu Zhi.

He reached out into the darkness ahead, only to find nothing.

no one.

What about the surrounding area?

Jiang Qi leaned against the wall and felt around, but couldn't find any switches or doors.

He seemed trapped in this small space, unable to get out once someone entered.

Jiang Qi lowered his head, his bangs hanging down naturally, half-covering his dark, narrow eyes.

Just as he lowered his head, Jiang Qi clearly felt a cold wind blowing from above.

This gave him goosebumps that immediately covered the back of his neck.

The viewers in the live stream held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly.

If Jiang Qi had been just a fraction slower in lowering his head, his head would have been severed from his body.

It was truly thrilling and exciting.

In such a dark environment, Jiang Qi had no idea what his surroundings were like and couldn't see anything. How did he manage to dodge it?!

It's really scary.

Jiang Qi was unaware of the heated discussion in the live stream; he was trying to find a way out.

After knocking on the left wall, he knocked on the right wall.

Thump, thump, thump, once or twice.

There was nothing wrong with the walls; there was no hidden room or exit.

Despite this, Jiang Qi still did not open his eyes.

What you see with your own eyes isn't always right; sometimes your eyes can deceive you. So Jiang Qi chose to follow his heart.

Since 150 meters is the actual distance of the corridor.

If a player walks 150 meters and doesn't find their companion standing in the corner, they probably won't dare to go any further.

But Jiang Qi was not as the ghost wished. Since he couldn't find a way out of the predicament, he could only continue to explore forward.

He couldn't find a way out, as if he were lost in the boundless darkness.

From the moment Jiang Qi began to move, he entered a trap that the ghosts had already set.

However, this method is rather crude.

So he decided to play along, revealing his vulnerability to the ghosts and monsters, thus luring them to appear in person.

Jiang Qi's movements were somewhat bewildered as he groped his way deeper into the darkness.

He couldn't touch anything, only the cold air in his hands.

Jiang Qi seemed oblivious to the cold touch on the back of his hand and continued walking forward.

This was a distance of one hundred meters, and the ghost was starting to get restless.

Jiang Qi remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Continuing forward is the right thing to do; going back the way we came might lead to some trouble.

Little did Jiang Qi know that behind him lay a bottomless abyss.

If Jiang Qi takes just one step back, he will be dragged into the abyss and swallowed up.

On the ground, something is already impatient.

One after another, pale hands emerged and clung tightly to Jiang Qi's ankles.

The cold, slippery touch disgusted Jiang Qi, and a chill ran down his spine from the soles of his feet.

Even if Jiang Qi manages to break free partially, a whole bunch of hands will reach out and grab his feet.

Jiang Qi was deeply restricted and extremely annoyed. The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he wanted to reach out and pry it open.

But he endured it, and could only drag his increasingly heavy steps forward.

In haunted houses, ghosts and monsters are almost unsolvable problems.

They are protected by the rules; if a player attacks a ghost, they will instead harm themselves.

Jiang Qi can no longer attack ghosts and monsters as casually as before.

However, he also noticed something.

The ghost's actions only delayed his journey to the next corner; they did not actually kill him.

It seems that the ghosts in the haunted house aren't entirely lawless.

They should also be subject to some kind of constraint, just like players.

Moreover, they don't seem to want players to finish the game quickly.

Is this really helping them or is it out of fear?

Jiang Qi couldn't find a reason to help them for the time being.

However, there are more reasons for fear.

After players complete the game, the ghosts in the haunted house may be punished.

Or rather, only when players complete the game will an even more terrifying entity appear.

These ghosts and monsters had nowhere to hide.

He cannot empathize with ghosts and monsters, and may even kill ghosts and monsters that block or harm him.

He would kill even those who were human, who were also part of the same species.

Perhaps, this was Jiang Qi's true nature from the beginning.

Cold and indifferent, nothing catches his eye; he lives his whole life like a machine.

Being restricted by these rules was really making him uncomfortable.

Jiang Qi's gaze was icy and devoid of warmth.

It exudes an aura that is not to be trifled with, even surpassing these ghosts and monsters.

Jiang Qi's leg trembled, and the tightly clenched severed hands loosened, scattering onto the ground with a clatter.

It also crushed several pairs of hands that were trying to climb up.
