Chapter 66 Streamer's First Blood
Chapter 66 Streamer's First Blood
It felt like being repeatedly licked by a venomous snake's tongue, or like a cold slug slowly crawling across the skin... That nauseating, sticky sensation froze the already stale blood of the turbocharged duck back into ice crystals.
He was like a statue nailed to the spot, frozen in a stiff, half-turned-back posture, his eyes unable to move; fear filled his limbs and torso like cement, firmly fixing him in place, unable to move.
This time, even the viewers in the live chat, whether they were joking around or arguing, realized something was wrong—
Because of the turbocharged duck's expression... it looked so scared it didn't seem like it was acting.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and his jaw was taut. Although his face was so stiff that he couldn't make any expression, the corners of his mouth were strangely frozen in the arc he had barely managed to pull up earlier.
Even the previously buzzing live chat went silent for a moment: "What's wrong with Old Duck?"
"To be honest, the old duck's expression... is way scarier than this game."
"I was busy arguing online, did anyone who's been watching the stream tell me what happened? Why does Old Duck suddenly look like he's been scared out of his wits..."
"Where are those people who said Lao Ya's fear before was fake?! If our Lao Ya had such vivid acting skills, he would have been shining in the entertainment industry long ago, okay?! Why would he need to be here mediating between the viewers in the live chat?"
"Okay, I believe you! I believe this is a horror game! Old Duck, stop making that face! You look so scary right now!"
"So what happened?! I'm so worried! With so many people in the live stream, didn't even one person see it?!"
"It shouldn't be a matter of missing something. I've been watching the game the whole time. I saw that shadowy figure earlier, but I have no idea what's happening now. I guess something happened somewhere out of the camera's view, most likely behind Old Duck."
So if they want to know what happened, the old duck has to turn around so that the camera can follow it.
Turbo Duck is certainly aware of this as well.
I know that he doesn't want to move right now.
But not moving... won't work either!
He could feel the "movement" on the back of his neck getting closer and closer; if he didn't turn around, it was very likely that thing would really "familiarly" stick to him!
Turbo Duck felt his consciousness screaming silently and wildly, but his body became the most solid cage, rendering him unable to move.
"Then... Old Duck, close your eyes and turn around, we'll help you look!"
Seeing that the turbocharged duck seemed genuinely scared, the viewers in the live chat didn't pressure him; instead, they offered a helpful suggestion.
No, no need.
TurboDuck managed to squeeze out two words from its throat.
When "New World" approached him, they had already made it clear that the game Red Robe was making was a horror game in the same vein as "Double Happiness," so how could he give up showing the game just because he was scared?!
This is not the professional conduct expected of a game streamer!
The turbocharged duck took a deep breath, mentally preparing itself, and slowly began to turn its head.
The joints in my neck made a barely audible creaking sound, stiff as if they were rusted; my vision was like a lagy old film reel, frame by frame, extremely slowly, from the empty space behind me, to my shoulder, and then further back—
He saw a face.
A face silently descended from the ceiling of the room, hanging upside down in mid-air.
The face was hidden in the gap of the torn black plastic bag. The skin was as pale as a dead fish belly, the eye sockets were sunken, the bridge of the nose was collapsed, and black, unidentified viscous fluid slowly flowed from the eyes, nostrils and ears.
And as if it had "noticed" the turbocharged duck's gaze, the corners of that face slowly turned up, revealing teeth that gleamed with a dirty yellow light.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment. Turbo Duck felt that his brain was completely unable to process this terrifying scene that struck his soul. The close proximity to his face instantly overwhelmed all his reason.
With a "snap," his world was plunged into complete darkness.
"You are dead..."
"game over……"
Blood-red characters appeared on the black screen, but the turbocharged duck was still staring blankly, seemingly not yet recovered from the previous shock, panting heavily.
The comments section also took a long time to become active again.
"Holy crap, that really scared me to death!"
"A close-range critical hit! And it happened without any warning!"
"There was a warning sign. Didn't you see that the duck was so scared that it couldn't move before it turned around? If it were a normal game, it would have been okay to just run away at this point. The duck only turned around for the sake of the show."
"Counter Hero is here: Old Duck gets his first kill, cause of death: scared to death."
"Damn it, who came up with the title 'Food Game' for this live stream?! I came in for the food game, and I got a direct hit right in the face! My heart is about to beat 180! Streamer, pay up!"
"Haha, thank goodness I was prepared! I thought it was strange before. Red Dress is famous for making horror games, but her second game is a food game. Doesn't that seem odd?! But everyone online was convinced that 'Reunion' was a food game. Now they've proven them wrong!"
"I want to report the person in red for false advertising! I genuinely thought this was a food game, which is why I watched it!"
"Yay! This new game is definitely in the same style as Red Dress's previous games! I'm going to buy it right now! My mental strength is saved!"
Although the previous images were terrifying, after regaining my senses, the fear turned into a lingering excitement.
In particular, many viewers who originally just randomly picked a live stream and didn't care much about the game are now asking in the chat what game it is.
After finally recovering from his previous shock, Turbo Duck saw that many viewers were interested in the "reunion" in the live stream, so he quickly added a link to the game's download page in the announcement.
"alright……"
Turbo Duck patted its face, regaining its spirits: "Although I just 'died miserably,' I've gained valuable game experience!"
He reviewed his actions and somehow came to the conclusion that "you should never refuse a little boy's invitation to play a game."
Amidst a screen full of speechless "..." comments, Turbo Duck confidently started a new game, declaring with great ambition, "This time, I'll agree to play games with that little boy!"
"I'd like to see how this game can kill me this time!"
