Nightmare Assault

The group, “???”

Chen Xiaomeng was stunned for a few seconds when her pupils trembled. “Hao Shuai… I’m going to kill you!” The situation became chaotic. Thankfully, a conclusion had been reached. Tomorrow morning, they would follow the village leader to the mission venue, Little Ravine Village.

Since a decision had been made, while Bei Qian’s group was not satisfied, he still accepted the result. The night was coming. It was time to rest and prepare for the day after. Mountain trekking for a few hours was not something common for people living in the city, especially for people like Ben Fu and Bei Qian. No one could guarantee they would live until tomorrow. Zhou Rong was in a good mood because his suggestion was accepted. He started to plan everyone’s sleeping arrangements. Based on what he said, the boss had provided them with four rooms. Other than one room on the third floor, the three other rooms were on the second floor. Zhou Rong spawned in one of the rooms on the second floor. He spawned in bed and saw the ceiling once he opened his eyes. He was in Room 208.

The adjacent rooms, 207 and 209, were their rooms for the night as well. The wife had already given Zhou Rong the keys. The trouble now was that there were five males and three females. Clearly, one of the rooms would house one female and one male.

However…

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily floated to Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaomeng. Their relationship was intriguing. According to Jiang Cheng, they were a couple, but the girl insisted that they didn’t know each other. Interestingly enough… it was common for people to hide their relationships in the nightmare realm. It was very rare for people to openly showcase their relationships. This raised suspicions.

When they were asked to share one room, Jiang Cheng shrugged and said he didn’t mind. To everyone’s surprise, Chen Xiaomeng didn’t reject this arrangement. However, she requested that they have the room on the third floor. The others sighed in relief. The room on the third floor was separated from the rest. It was more dangerous. The arrangement was done.

Zhou Rong stayed in the room he spawned in, Room 208. Jiang Zhongyi stayed with him. Bei Qian and Ben Fu stayed in Room 207. The two women stayed in Room 209. Chen Xiaomeng and Jiang Cheng had Room 307. Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaomeng’s room was right above Bei Qian and Ben Fu’s room.

They entered the room. The room looked old. The blankets had a few patches but thankfully the place was clean. The broken wooden table was dustless. The boss probably cleaned it often.

Jiang Cheng jumped on the bed shamelessly once he entered the room. After some rolling about, he assumed a strange pose. He looked at Chen Xiaomeng, who was standing with a dark face, and asked shyly, “Do you want to shower first, or should I?”

Chen Xiaomeng had accomplished her goal, so she was not in a hurry. She looked at Jiang Cheng like he was dead. Then, she asked coolly, “Where is the thing?”

Jiang Cheng asked purposely, “What thing?”

“The thing you stole from me!”

“Oh, you mean the piece of newspaper!” Jiang Cheng acted like he just remembered it. “But, didn’t you say it was a present for me? Back then, you fell for my good looks and wanted to claim my body. Due to the time constraint, we didn’t have the chance for a deep, physical connection. Therefore, you gave me the newspaper as the evidence of your admiration for me…” His eyes glowed as he patted the bed. “Come! Your chance is now!”

“You bastard!” Chen Xiaomeng almost fainted from anger. She pulled out a rope she found downstairs. It was probably used to tie up the livestock. She pulled on it. It could probably be used to strangle Jiang Cheng.

However, once she pulled out the rope, Jiang Cheng cowed. He immediately sat up straight and adjusted his clothes. He acted very gentlemanly. At that moment, through the room’s dim lighting, he looked quite handsome.

“There’s no need for violence,” Jiang Cheng pouted, “I’ll listen to your orders.”

“Hand over the newspaper!” Chen Xiaomeng lowered her voice. She also didn’t want to make a big deal out of this. If the others downstairs knew that they had something like this, things would become so complicated. Naturally, she wouldn’t let Jiang Cheng go, either. However, she couldn’t deal the fatal blow. Killing one’s teammate would trigger the rule’s revenge mechanism. She had made the decision to borrow the ghost’s hands to kill Jiang Cheng. She would circumvent the rules and eliminate this annoying man!

This man looked harmless, but Chen Xiaomeng, who had finished one mission with him, knew that Jiang Cheng was extremely cunning. If he hadn’t been there for the previous mission, she would have reaped greater rewards.

“I was going to return the newspaper to you.” Jiang Cheng curled up sadly, “But I don’t have it. Someone snatched it from me.”

Chen Xiaomeng frowned, “What?”

“The culprit was a fatty.” Jiang Cheng huffed and accused Fatty, “It was the large man from our last mission mission. I had no idea how he found my real-life address, but he did and forced me to give the newspaper to him.” Jiang Cheng’s body shivered as he thought back to that ‘incident’. “I didn’t want to give him at first, and he started to beat me! I had no choice but to surrender the newspaper to him.” Then, Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Xiaomeng with concern. He added, “If you run into him next time, you have to be careful!” He tightened his fists. “It’s best if you can kill him and don’t give him the chance to react!”

Chen Xiaomeng frowned and thought about it. In her impression, the fatty was a timid dullard. Other than his cooking skills, he was not good at anything. Was he… that impressive?

When Jiang Cheng relayed these things, he looked so sincere. He didn’t seem like he was lying. Plus… Chen Xiaomeng had to admit that there were many people who acted weak and innocent in the nightmare realm despite not being so.

Furthermore, it had only been three days since that mission. In that last mission, she used her own method to verify that Hao Shuai was indeed a newbie. She didn’t think a newbie could use three days to understand the usage of the newspaper.

Therefore, based on her analysis, Jiang Cheng probably told the truth.
