Chapter 41: Hold Your Breath

"Lucky Ghost Patron, your courage is amazing, this nightmare mission is both a test and a reward!"

"The name of the game below is Deep Water, which can cross life and death, allowing you to meet the deceased."

"Mission: Enter the bathroom alone at 3:30 a.m., lock the bathroom door, turn off the lights, fill the bathtub with water, light a candle around it, and lie down in it."

"3:30 a.m. to 3:44 a.m. is the time when the night is at its thickest, and it is also the intersection of yin and yang in the day, all you need to do is hold your breath at 3:44, sink to the bottom of the pool, and silently recite the name of the person you want to see the most."

"When time goes between night and dawn, you can see him on the edge of life and death."

"Successfully meet the person you miss, the mission is successful. If you don't see it, the mission will automatically succeed after holding your breath for 60 seconds. ”

After reading the task information on the black phone, Chen Ge was in a very complicated mood.

Compared to the first nightmare-level mission, this task feels much simpler, closing your eyes for thirty minutes in a terrifying environment requires strong mental quality and extraordinary courage, and holding your breath for sixty seconds can be done by most people.

But it was precisely because most people could do it that he felt uneasy, after all, this was a nightmare-level mission, and there must be some unknown risk hidden.

"It's the same as the last nightmare mission, it's all done in the bathroom, but the difference is that this time you have to sink into the bath and hold your breath for sixty seconds." He thought carefully about the entire task process, counting the preparation time, to put it bluntly, it was only ten minutes, what terrifying thing could happen in such a short time?

Chen Ge was a little moved, not only because this task looked relatively simple, but also because of a sentence in the mission introduction - you can cross life and death and see the deceased you miss.

The more critical it was, the calmer Chen Ge would be, and he sat on the chair, thinking about a certain possibility.

His parents disappeared in an abandoned hospital in the suburbs, leaving behind a black phone and a puppet, which he activated when he was about to abandon the horror house.

Later, when performing the first nightmare-level mission, the Muppet becomes a key item to prevent the monster from coming out of the mirror. It is worth pondering that the puppet and the black phone are both relics of their parents, is it possible that these two things were deliberately left behind?

If everything is really set out by them, then this second nightmare mission is worth playing.

"It's possible that they want to see me this way and reveal more?" Of course, this is just Chen Ge's speculation, in fact, no matter whether the nightmare-level task was assigned by his parents or not, Chen Ge will do it.

Crossing life and death and meeting the people he meets, this is an opportunity for Chen Ge to confirm whether his parents still exist in this world.

If not, it means that his parents are simply missing and still alive.

If he saw it, it would prove Chen Ge's first guess, his parents did have something to tell him about the black phone they left behind, maybe this phone hid their true last words.

"Looks like I don't have a choice." Chen Ge glanced at his watch, it was now two fifty-five in the morning, and there were thirty-five minutes before the start of the task: "It took too long to smash the mirror on the third floor, and it was not easy to do it now." ”

The quest is to lie down 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 staff passage is connected to a room with a bathtub, from where Chen Ge entered and exited the scene when he had scared them before.

"Thirty-five minutes left, it's definitely too late to go out and find a hotel with a bathtub now, so you can only face the monster in the mirror." Now that he has made his choice, Chen Ge will not hesitate any longer, he packed all four puppets on his body, ran out of the haunted house, slipped into the staff canteen of the park in the middle of the night, and came out with two kitchen knives.

"Although this kitchen knife has not slaughtered pigs and sheep, I have seen a chef use it to kill chickens and fish before, so it should be regarded as a killing." He put the kitchen knife on the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was no killing smell, only a strong smell of green peppers, which made him want to cry.

After returning to the haunted house, Chen Ge carried an iron bucket, ran on both sides of the bathroom and toilet, and finally filled the bathtub with water when there were still ten minutes before the start of the mission.

"The preparations are complete and you can begin." The main door of the midnight escape scene was locked, and Chen Ge entered through the staff passage, standing alone in the bathroom according to the task requirements on the black phone.

The mirror in this room had already been smashed by Chen Ge, and at this time, the fragments of the ground made a creaking and creaking sound when stepped on it.

"There was a lot of movement just now, and the monster in the mirror should have known that I was in, but it doesn't matter, I just need to survive the minute of holding my breath to be safe."

In Chen Ge's opinion, although this task is weird, it is not too dangerous.

He locked the bathroom door, put the puppet his parents had left behind the door, and placed the four puppets around the bathtub with the victim's remnants.

"Guys, it's up to you to wait a minute, buy me a minute anyway!"

Just like last time, he turned on his phone's camera and put it at a suitable angle to record the video. However, because the room was so dark, the screen was almost pitch black, and only a figure could barely be seen.

In the end, when there were three minutes left, Chen Ge took out everything in his pocket and put it on the sink. A candle was lit around the bathtub as requested by the black phone.

The flickering candle flame became the only light source in the room, reflecting the fragments of mirrors on the ground, and Chen Ge's figure appeared in each fragment.

He took off his shirt and walked over to the bathtub.

The surface of the water is shallow ripples, and the bathtub is obviously shallow, but the light is too dark to see the bottom at a glance.

Stretching out his hand to puff the water, a chill crawled up Chen Ge's body along his fingertips, and he couldn't help but shudder: "This task is really weird." ”

Finally, the time was determined, and Chen Ge sat in the bathtub with two kitchen knives.

As he entered, the water spilled out and spilled all over the mirror.

"It's so cold......"

Chen Ge felt that the heat in his body was flowing rapidly, and even his heartbeat slowed down a lot.

Droplets of water were dripping down the edge of the tub, but there was no other sound in the room.

"One minute, as long as I survive this minute, I will be rewarded and verify my conjecture!"

Chen Ge kept adjusting his breathing, waiting for the arrival of 3:44 in the morning.
