《Game, Live Stream》Chapter 4

The tour bus was dead silent for a few minutes before people started to question the worlds of the gold chain man. A yellow-haired person stood up. “Why should I believe you? What horror game? Are you kidding! What the hell is your plot?”
This person had dyed yellow hair and an arrogant face. He seemed to be a rebellious youth or a street gangster.
“Yes! Why should we believe you?” A man in a suit also stood up. He looked at everyone in the bus and tried to calmly analyze it. “Maybe everyone else in the bus is working for you and you set this up to deceive us…”
“Deceive you? What do you have?” The man with the gold chain scoffed with a disdainful expression. “Are you rich or influential?”
“Just let us down! All of you must be liars! A bunch of liars!” The girl in the couple also stood up. She looked a bit scared but she still pointed to the man with the gold chain. “You must be traffickers! Traffickers should all go to hell! Are you going to sell us in the mountains?”
The two girls were obviously scared and hugged each other while crying.
Xiao Tangqiu looked around the bus and soon discovered something wrong. No matter how noisy the other people weer, the young man who was very noisy in the beginning was abnormally silent. The strangest thing was that the three people sitting in the front row were quiet and didn’t make any noise.
An average person definitely wouldn’t be calm when experiencing such a thing…
He just thought this when the gold chain man looked at him again, his eyes burning. “Hey, why are you so calm?”
Xiao Tangqiu paused before smiling slightly. “I just… I often watch horror movies and play horror games.”
At his words, the unusually silent young man suddenly jumped out of his seat and looked at Xiao Tangqui with excitement.
His face was full of fear but the young man looked quite good. His eyes were clear, his skin was fair and he seemed to be in his early 20s. This type of appearance was very popular among girls but… Xiao Tangqiu felt that this young man seemed familiar and that he had seen this person somewhere before.

Xiao Tangqiu’s memory was very good and he soon remembered. This person seemed to be an 18 tier star who often played the soy sauce in various domestic horror movies. Basically, he was a type of cannon fodder that would only survive for three minutes before dying because of the ghost.
The reason was unknown but this small star suddenly looked very excited, like he had seen a loved one. Before he could react, a scream was heard. “Ahh!
The group reflexively looked in the direction of the scream. It turned out to be the female of the couple. She stumbled back a few steps before falling onto the floor.
“Ahhh! Where’s the driver? Where’s the driver?” The girl screamed hysterically.
Everyone quickly looked at the driver’s seat but found there was no one there. There was no driver on the moving tour bus!
The couple had intended to make the driver stop so they could get off the bus. As they approached the driver’s eat, they discovered that there was no driver at all!
The frightened girl wept, her legs weak as she sat on the ground. Everyone was pale and if they had any slight doubts then they would now be suspicious. Suddenly appeared on the tour bus, the voice that appeared in their minds, a moving bus without a driver… all these strange events forced them to believe the man wearing the gold chain.
The gold chain man sneered and sat in his seat. “See, I didn’t like to you. Stupid newcomers, fortunately there is just the lowest level D-grade task with a little buffer time! You are fortunate to meet an old player like me who is willing to provide you with information. Other old players might let you die silently before the game even begins.” He said this but he he was staring at the three silent people sitting in the first row.
The group was pale with fright and no one dared refute his words.
“Rest assured, this is the simplest D-grade task. The survival rate of newcomers is still very high, around 50%. In other orders, half the people in this bus should be able to survive.” The gold chain man explained as he shook his legs.
Everyone became even paler. A 50% survival rate… this was considered high?

Someone was about to object when the tour bus stopped and the door opened.
“This seems to be the destination.” The sloppy looking man suddenly became serious. “Get off the bus.” He took the lead and was the first one to get off.
The group looked at each other. No one could guarantee what would happen after getting off the bus so no one dared to follow the man. Then the three people sitting in the first row stood up and got off.
Xiao Tangqiu hesitated before also standing up. The tour bus only had the door next to the driver’s seat. He was walking to the door when a hand suddenly grabbed his arm, startling him.
Xiao Tangqiu looked back and saw it the little star. The little star was pale but his strength was very high. He firmly grasped Xiao Tangqiu and didn’t want Xiao Tangqiu to get off.
“Get off the bus.” Xiao Tangqiu said softly. “I don’t know what will happen after we get off but if we continue to stay on the bus… who knows what will happen?”
The small star suddenly jumped from his seat like his butt was burned. He grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s arm and seemed to want to get off with Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu didn’t care and left the bus with the small star. The others also heard Xiao Tangqiu’s and fearfully got off.
Once he got off the bus, Xiao Tangqiu originally wanted to shake off the small star’s hand. After all, he was a male and didn’t want to kiss other man. Then he suddenly heard the small star say softly, “Little Candy Ball!”
Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes widened. Only one person would call him this. Was this small star actually Cotton Candy? His netizen was a small star? He actually became friends with a small star?
At this moment, the gold chain man opened his mouth. “Look up.”
Everyone reflexively looked up and saw there was a river not far away. The river was turbulent and dark. A bit further away, there was a small island that was faintly visible. The island seemed to have a small fishing village.
“Oh, it really is a fishing village.” The gold chain man scratched his bald head. “If we are surrounded by water then it will be a bit difficult to escape.”
The group couldn’t understand the gold chain man’s meaning and one person asked with trepidation, “Is our destination that fishing village? Then how are we going to get there? Do we have to swim over?”
“There is a boat so naturally there is a way to get there.”
The gold chain’s words finished when the group saw a small fishing boat appear in front of them. It seemed to appear out of thin air and was very bizarre. It was small, dirty and looked like it would fall apart at any time.
In the blink of an eye, the small fishing boat came to shore and a very old man appeared in it. He looked like a person in his last years and his voice was very withered an hard to hear. “You are… the graduate expedition… university students?”
University students on a graduate expedition?
Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth dropped open. Among the 13 people, only a few looked like university students. The others were completely impossible, especially the man with the gold chain.
The gold chain man didn’t change his expression and nodded. “That’s right! We are all university students!”
He turned and explained. “The game will give us appropriate identities. It seems that the identity assigned to us this time are university students going to the fishing village for graduate studies.”
The old man slowly raised his head and seemed to want a good look at the people in front of him. The moment he looked up, several people couldn’t help screaming. In the place where the old man’s eyes should be were two black holes!
The old man didn’t seem to hear the screams or realize that he had no eyes. He looked at the ground and spoke in a hoarse voice, “Come onboard…”
“No! I’m going back! I can’t stand it! I want to go back!”
The female of the couple turned to go back. She was trying to return to the bus but the moment she turned around, her screams became choked up. She seemed to see something horrible.
Xiao Tangqiu looked back doubtfully and felt cold. He didn’t know when but the bus had disappeared. The place where the bus had ben was an abyss. The abyss was still widening and would soon spread to their feet…
