PFRG: Chapter 100

Strange Stories Arcade (9)

The scene in the instance was projected to the live stream room through the camera, and the barrage of comments that broke out in an instant almost covered the entire screen.

[What is this? Why do they all look the same?]

[F*k, this is what Chi Ting looks like now. All of them are him!]

[What does the action of touching his neck just now mean? Just now, Chi Ting touched his neck. Could he feel it himself?]

[Spiritual empathy? This is a warning. If you dare to do it, you will also experience the near-death feeling!]

[…MD, is this a shooting experience hall or a death experience hall?]

[There are so many ‘Chi Tings’. How can we get out? This is really crazy!]

Everyone could see that Chi Ting had already raised the gun in his hand and was pointing the muzzle precisely at the monsters in front of him.

Such a move was clearly a preparation to kill ‘himself.’

This did seem to be the only path available at the moment, but once the monsters in the area were replaced by the players themselves, it wasn’t an easy task to actually take action.

After all, the tearing sensation of the silk thread cutting through the neck still remained clearly on his skin. The despair of that momentary stopping of his breathing was enough to drag a person into the abyss of horror in an instant.

In the dim environment, the red strangulation marks left on Chi Ting’s white neck could be seen.

Shockingly, it repeatedly reminded him of the strong feeling of suffocation that he felt at that moment.

This was definitely a death experience that was enough to make everyone feel despair. Even now, Chi Ting could still remember the feeling of his blood vessels being cut by silk threads.

It was as if he really died once at that moment.

However, this didn’t affect the steady gun holding posture at all.

“Bang—!”

“Bang bang—!”

A series of gunshots swept through the dim environment.

The flash of gunfire illuminated the smooth contours of the face, making the color of his eyes look even deeper.

Chi Ting’s marksmanship wasn’t as dazzling as Ji Xingque’s, but it was more stable.

At the same moment that the bullet casing fell to the ground, he could see a body collapse.

Every kill like this brought a tearing pain as if the heart was pierced.

With it came the intense suffocation brought by the moment of death. A blank halo spread before his eyes.

However, apart from his breathing slowly becoming heavy, Chi Ting continued to reload the bullets in the gun again and again.

He fired one shot after another. His hand holding the gun remained steady, and the sound of shooting continued for a long time.

Another round of shooting ended. Chi Ting finally lowered his eyes slowly after a brief silence.

Due to the frequent shooting, his chest was heaving violently with a numbing pain. He needed to cover his chest tightly with his hands to feel his still beating heart.

There were clearly no wounds, but due to repeated stimulation, blood still seeped out through the skin, staining the prison uniform and slowly spreading down.

The corpses were piled up all over the fight. At first glance, people who looked exactly like him were dying in front of him again and again, making the scene look even more bizarre.

However, Chi Ting just stepped on the corpses and continued to walk inside until a new round of monsters appeared again. He raised the gun in his hand without hesitation and killed them one by one with a sharp expression.

Before he knew it, Chi Ting’s body was stained with more blood.

It wasn’t his own blood. Almost all of it came from the monsters who came one after another. Then after thinking about the cost of killing like this, people would feel scared when seeing the scene in front of them.

Actually, could anyone really kill ‘themselves’ without hesitation like this?

There was only silence in the live stream room.

After a long time, someone asked weakly: [How many monsters has he killed?]

No one could give a definite reply. All the attention was on this grand feast of shooting. No one had the strength to count any longer.

But there was no doubt that it was definitely more than a hundred just by looking at the number of corpses on the ground.

The number of corpses meant how many times the person in the instance had experienced the feeling of death.

Who could face the feeling of near death hundreds of times in such a short period of time and remain calm?

Every time a gunshot rang out, the audience in the live stream room subconsciously took a breath. As long as they imagined that the feeling of the bullet piercing the chest would also act on the player’s body at the same time, it was as if waves of electricity were exploding in the body. They didn’t forget to think deeply.

However, the man who killed the people in the picture still looked unmoved.

It was as if the blood on the chest didn’t belong to him. He stepped on the corpse of ‘himself’ one by one and walked forward. There was even a faint smile on his face.

Yes, though his breathing inevitably became heavier, causing his chest to rise and fall violently, and his eyes were a bit dazed due to the complete numbness caused by intense pain. Even so, the arc of Chi Ting’s mouth never fell.

His overwhelming fighting power was very obvious at this moment. At the same time, there was an indescribable fragility about such a scene.

It was as if something would fall apart as soon as such a smile fell.

Finally, at the end of his blurred field of view, he saw the light that fell into his eyes.

It was a door.

The two doors leading to the next area stood there quietly as if waiting to give a final choice.

Chi Ting glanced at them before casually selecting a door and pushing it open.

At this moment, Chi Ting saw countless figures rushing towards him one after another.

However, compared to before, there were undoubtedly a few figures in addition to ‘himself.’

The appearance of every player wasn’t very different, but he remembered who this person was—it was the modeling of Yue Ren.

What did this mean?

Did he come to the area where Yue Ren was or did Yue Ren choose to enter the same place as him?

Under the impact of the repeated near-death experience, Chi Ting used his preserved sanity to think about the content mentioned in Rule 8. Was it strictly forbidden to shoot at fellow players during the game?

His faintly pale face had some playfulness on it. “Is this considered an upgrade in difficulty?”

These densely packed figures were mixed together. It was already very difficult to distinguish the identities of the two people, not to mention shooting under such circumstances.

Perhaps Ji Xingque would be able to complete the operation accurately, but Chi Ting believed it would take a lot of physical strength to achieve such an accurate result.

Even though he knew he would encounter Yue Ren, the real culprit, in this area sooner or later, he was also aware that showing mercy would make it difficult for him to move forward. He immediately loaded his gun without hesitation and started a new wave of shooting without holding back at all.

The audience in the live stream room were already watching his every move intently. With this operation, the entire barrage was filled with ‘f*k’.

[Isn’t it forbidden to shoot fellow players? He is shooting indiscriminately like this. Is he really not afraid of killing someone by mistake?]

[I’m a bit dizzy. All the models in this experience hall look the same. Whose appearance is this?]

[I am also face-blind, but this seems to be a bit different from the others. Is it the mosaic guy?]

[…Ah, shooting without hesitation. Do these two people have some kind of grudge that we don’t know about?]

[I don’t know if they are enemies or not, but I can see a type of beauty from the streamer’s actions of life or death that are determined by fate.]

[I really want to go to the mosaic brother’s live stream room to take a look. I hope they don’t bump into each other!]

[What can I say? This Chi Ting is really a ruthless person. He is equally ruthless to himself and others…]

Chi Ting didn’t hesitate at all. In fact, he didn’t feel the synchronized empathy when shooting ‘Yue Ren’, so it gave him more time to breathe than before.

As for whether ‘Yue Ren’ would frequently enjoy the ‘near-death’ feeling of having his heart pierced during Chi Ting’s shooting or not—even if there was such a sensation, Chi Ting intuitively felt that this person might even feel some enjoyment from such a level.

The layers of influences were endless. Being in the midst of it made it easy for people to feel confused about who their true self was.

As his clothes were gradually soaked with sweat, Chi Ting couldn’t remember how many people he had killed until he finished shooting a new batch.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the bodies of ‘himself’ and ‘Yue Ren’ intertwined on the ground. He fell into deep thought for a long time.

The entire live stream room fell silent at this still picture.

Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath to see if he had come to any new conclusions, Chi Ting let out a sigh and murmured, “I always feel that some of the postures seem strange…”

He paused, shook his head again, said ‘forget it’ in a low voice and continued to walk inside.

This episode made the audience in the live stream room instinctively look at the corpses a few more times, intending to find some mysteries that they hadn’t figured out. But the more they looked, the more confused they felt.

Was it strange? Wasn’t it just ‘you on top of me and I on top of you’? There were basically no rules. What exactly was wrong?

Chi Ting saw the appearance of ‘Yue Ren’ pressing on ‘himself’ a few times in a row. It might not be their original appearance but he still felt a bit subtle.

In the end, he resisted the urge to sort and pile up the corpse hills and walked forward.

There was the faint sound of restlessness around him again.

Chi Ting tried hard to ignore the sharp pain from his chest and couldn’t help sighing quietly in his heart.

It was endless.

He gripped the gun in his hand vigilantly, wondering if he would encounter more people if he entered the next door. Then his peripheral vision caught sight of another figure running toward him. He raised his gun without hesitation.

Then he paused as he was about to pull the trigger. “Huh?”

Before he could fully utter the low sound, the figure in front had already reached him. Then Chi Ting felt his wrist being tightly grasped in the other person’s hand. He was pulled forward by a huge force and crashed into a broad chest.

It was obvious that both of them were seriously ‘injured.’ Such a touch made them groan softly at almost the same time.

However, all the sounds were quickly silenced by a kiss.

Under the reckless, deep kiss, he didn’t forget to bite the other person hard on the lips. Since other monsters had already approached, Yue Ren had to stop and let go directly. While rubbing against each other, Yue Ren didn’t forget to chuckle and tease, “It seems that my intuition isn’t bad. This is the taste. It is you after all.”

Chi Ting raised his eyes to meet the gaze that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling. He was obviously speechless at this person’s overly simple and crude way of confirmation.

But it could be seen that he was in a good mood after meeting again. He glanced around and didn’t forget to raise his gun to repel the approaching monsters.

Yue Ren raised his eyebrows slightly at such a swift and decisive move. “You are so cruel. Are you really not afraid of killing me with pain? Look at me. I don’t even want to shoot you.”

Under the dim light, Chi Ting’s tired face showed a hint of a meaningful smile. “Are you still afraid of pain?”

Yue Ren thought for a moment before saying, “Hmm… rather than putting you in danger, I would rather die in pain.”

Chi Ting shot and killed a few more ‘Yue Rens’ before staring at the expression of the main person in front of him. “Does it really hurt?”

“……”

Yue Ren couldn’t pretend any longer and had to sigh. “Come on. You kill me and I will kill you. I’ll try to be as ruthless as possible.”

Chi Ting took away the hand that was still on his body and naturally had no objection to this proposal.

Obviously, Yue Ren didn’t feel any pain when Chi Ting killed ‘Yue Ren’.

In this way, the clearance method here became much simpler.

The death sympathy occurred only when they killed ‘themselves’.

Then just let his teammate kill ‘himself.’

Of course, the premise was not to shoot the real player.
