Nightmare Assault

Chapter 30: Doctor, I'm Not Sleepy

The young man in the cap appeared to be pissed. He raised his fist and darted at Room 404 like he wanted to punch the door. However, the suited man moved fast and held him back. The suited man stared at the door of Room 404, looked around and whispered to the young man, This isnt right. We should go back.

After they returned to their room, the suited man closed the door and locked it.

The young man peeled off his cap and tossed it on the bed. Then, he turned around and grumbled, Could it be the two in Room 404 who are behind the sound? A few deep scars were left on the mans head. The largest one extended from the back of his head to the back of his ear. It was why he wore the cap. He was not as young as he appeared. He looked around 30 but dressed like a kid.

The suited man leaned on the wall, and his face was dark. Then, he said, I dont think so. We just got here, and we dont know the conditions that trigger the ghosts. I dont think they have the guts to do something like that. He paused, Unless they are mentally challenged.

The young man slowly calmed down. He was not dumb. He knew the suited man was right. Then, his face paled. If those sounds were not made by the other players, then He looked at the suited man but couldnt finish his sentence. There was an unwritten world in the nightmare realm. Once the mission started, unless it were absolutely necessary, no one would bring up that term.

For now, nothing has happened, so dont scare yourself. The suited man comforted him. He removed the buttons of his suit and the top two buttons of his shirt. Then, he took a deep breath and told his friend, Theoretically speaking, Room 405 that we chose should be the safest. We have people on both sides. Room 404 sounds unlucky, and bad things might have happened there. Therefore, no matter what, well get firsthand news as long as we dont rush into troubles.

The man in the cap added, We have to be careful. The thin one from 404 seems to be targeting you.

The suited man smiled to reveal his pearly whites and said with derision, Ill be careful and find a chance to make him stay here forever. Since the man said that, the other didnt add anything else. After they discussed the night schedule, the man with the cap went to bed. After all, mental acuity was a deciding factor behind ones survival.

Inside Room 404, Jiang Cheng didnt go back to bed instantly. Instead, he sat on the chair like he was thinking about something.

Fatty felt like it was time for discussion, so he sat up in bed and asked, Doctor, do you think someone will die tonight?

In the last mission, the middle-aged man died on the first night. His neck was basically twisted around. Fatty was the first one to find him. He was trying to use the toilet and almost peed his pants. The scary image still occasionally appeared in his mind.

I dont think so. Jiang Cheng thought about it and answered him.

Fatty grumbled, Doctor, you said we wouldnt be in the nightmare realm tonight, and now, look at us.

Jiang Cheng turned around to stare at Fatty, Fatty, I just remembered something important.

Doctor, what is it? Fatty nodded naturally. Seeing Jiang Cheng acting so seriously, he believed he had found something crucial.

You better be careful when you sleep tonight. You should pull the blanket up to your chin. Jiang Cheng gestured as he spoke.

Fatty was scared. He looked around and then wrapped the blanket around him tighter. Then, he asked carefully, Why, doctor?

Jiang Cheng stood up while clapping his hands, That way, the ghost will have a space to strangle your neck when they visit you tonight.

Fatty,

Perhaps he pitied the shivering Fatty, Jiang Cheng volunteered to stay up to let Fatty sleep first. Then, they could switch. However, Fatty shook his head. Doctor, your story is so invigorating that now, whenever I close my eyes, I can see a ghost coming for my neck. Im not sleepy at all.

Since Fatty insisted, Jiang Cheng compromised. They set a time, and he went to sleep. Fatty sat in bed. He pulled all the blankets around him, but that couldnt stop the chill in his heart. To be honest, he had a bad feeling the moment he stepped into this place. However, even after he looked around, he couldnt explain where that feeling came from.

For some reason, Fatty had a feeling that someone would die that night. There was no reason behind it. It was his intuition. Fatty switched about, but he couldnt find a position that felt safe to him. In the end, he propped the pillow up and leaned against the wall. At least he would see the ghost coming for his neck from the front.

Soon, Jiang Cheng started to snore. Fatty had to be impressed that he could sleep at a time like this.

Compared to Room 404 and 405, Room 406 was more chaotic. Even though there were three in the room, they didnt trust one another. There were only two beds in the room, so one had to sleep on the floor or on the chair. There were two guys and one girl, but it was the girl who got the upper hand.

The girl had a sharp ponytail, and her gaze was cutting. If Jiang Cheng were there, he would be able to tell from the womans rigid posture and the callous between her index finger and thumb that she was a practised expert. She might have used a gun before.

However, the two men in the room couldnt tell that. They just knew that they couldnt offend her. This was not her first time in the nightmare realm, or she couldnt be so calm.

The woman had the bed next to the window. She leaned against the wall and looked out the window. Perhaps a green face might appear there suddenly.

The middle-aged man in the tank top and the other man entered the nightmare realm for the first time. They sat on the edge of the same bed and appeared very anxious.
