Online Dating the Horror World BOSS - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Just as I was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I suddenly received a summons from the police station.

Every person who had once bullied and humiliated me had died overnight in bizarre, gruesome ways.

Some in car accidents, some by jumping from buildings, some by drowning…

While sorting through the victims’ information, the police unexpectedly discovered one thing they all had in common: they all knew me, and they had all tormented me.

My enemies were dead. I wouldn’t exactly gloat over it, but I couldn’t help feeling that heaven had finally opened its eyes.

It had all happened so suddenly that the police suspected me, which I found utterly absurd.

But after the absurdity faded, I thought of Shen Fengwu, who had gone completely out of contact, and my heart sank.

Could he have also…

I couldn’t think about anything else. I just wanted to get to the police station as quickly as possible.

But the moment I opened the door, despite it clearly being spring in March, what greeted me was a sky full of white fog.

My mind went blank in an instant, as if I had lost consciousness.

When I came back to myself, I found that I was standing in an unfamiliar open space.

Chapter 3

I looked around. Thick fog stretched in every direction.

My right hand felt cold. I lowered my head to look.

There was a glowing white bracelet on my wrist.

Instinctively, I touched it, and several lines of small text popped up.

Player Xia Xiwu, welcome to Nightmare World.

Current instance: “Doll,” S-rank difficulty mode.

Clearance requirement: avoid all unknown dangers and survive successfully until the end.

(Note: If a player dies in the game, they will die in reality at the same time, and their soul will be trapped in the Horror World forever.)

At the very bottom was another tiny line: The Horror World reserves the right of final interpretation.

I was stunned. I realized the bracelet was incorporeal and couldn’t be removed.

“Would the player like to start a livestream? No commission will be taken from the livestream. All tips will belong entirely to the player.”

At that moment, another message popped up from the bracelet.

…A livestream?

I frowned and didn’t choose anything. It defaulted to cancel.

I took out my phone again, only to find that the signal was gone. I couldn’t even call the police.

On top of that, time had stopped. The display was frozen at 7:30 p.m.

“Hey, what are you spacing out for? Don’t waste time. Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Just then, a woman’s voice came from up ahead.

Chapter 4

I looked toward the sound and saw two men and four women standing only a few steps away.

Somewhere I couldn’t see, comments began flooding across the livestream:

[Who is this female player? It looks like she just appeared out of nowhere!]

[I checked her profile. She’s actually a newbie? Isn’t she just here to deliver herself to death?]

[Hard to say. Li Mo is here! With that little white-flower look of hers, she’s exactly Li Mo’s type. Looks like his harem’s about to get another member.]

Forcing down my confusion and panic, I walked up to them.

Of the two men, one was wearing a leather jacket. He looked me up and down, then extended his hand with a smile.

“Hello, I’m Li Mo. Since we’ve entered the same instance, that means we’re fated to meet… Come here. Stay behind me, and I’ll guide you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the girls became unhappy and clung tightly to his arm.

“Oh, really, Li Mo? You already have the three of us sisters. Isn’t that enough?”

I recognized her. She was the girl who had called out to me just now.

“Enough, enough. Look at you, Momo. You’ve been with me for so long and you’re still this jealous!”

Li Mo gave a flirtatious smile and wrapped both arms around the three girls.

“If we don’t enter the instance soon, once the fog swallows this place, we’ll all die together.”

At that moment, the remaining girl spoke coldly.

From the looks of it, she was with the other man, who was dressed in black.

She also gave me a once-over. “Once you’re in the instance, life and death are up to fate. Don’t count on anyone.”

After saying that, she turned with the man in black and headed toward a spot up ahead.

I noticed that the fog was silently shrinking its range, very much like the circle in a battle royale game in the real world.

If we didn’t get away from it, we would die.

I ignored Li Mo’s offered hand and followed the man and woman ahead.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Li Mo’s expression darken. Then he curled his lips at me in a mocking smile.

[Our Qingqing is such a cool girl. I want to stick to her so bad!]

[What’s she acting so aloof for? Doesn’t she follow Chu Feng around too, pretending to be some strong independent woman every day?]

[Protecting our Li Mo. Sure, he’s a scumbag, but at least he’s honest about it. He just wants to give every girl in the world a home!]

As the screen filled with viewers tearing into each other, someone suddenly paid to send a highlighted comment across the screen:

[Stop arguing. The reason everyone’s camping this instance isn’t to watch Li Mo or Chu Feng. We’re here to feast our eyes on the Big Boss’s god-tier beauty, okay? Once that absolute masterpiece of a Big Boss appears, he’ll instantly crush every mere mortal!]
