[It's over! Lin Yu is absolutely finished this time!]
[When you're unlucky enough, even drinking cold water can get stuck between your teeth.]
[What kind of karmic debt did Lin Yu rack up to get targeted this hard by the horror game?]
[With this level of bad luck, Lin Yu should be nominated for the Horror Game's Unluckiest Player Ranking.]
[Nominated? With his luck, he's definitely Top 1.]
[In this situation, Lin Yu is 100% dead. I seriously can't imagine how he survives this.]
...
When the Blood Clan Queen appeared in front of Lin Yu for the second time, the livestream audience froze for a moment.
Then—
Their faces filled with shock.
At the same time, some of them couldn't help wondering—
Had Lin Yu done a lot of terrible things in the past, to have such catastrophically bad luck in the horror game?
In this situation, the audience simply couldn't imagine any way for Lin Yu to escape.
...
"F***…"
The moment the door along the corridor suddenly opened—
Lin Yu had a bad feeling that things were about to go very wrong.
But no matter how hard he tried to imagine it—
He never expected the one who stepped out of the room to be the Blood Clan Queen of this vampire castle.
It made him curse fluently in his heart—in perfect Chinese.
Originally—
Running into Wang Gang's group three times in a row was already unlucky enough.
But now—
While fleeing, he had encountered the most terrifying existence in the entire dungeon.
The Blood Clan Queen!
Lin Yu was furious inside.
Against Wang Gang, Li Hai, and Wang Shan—
He still believed he had some room to maneuver.
But against the Blood Clan Queen—
He had zero confidence.
He even suspected that if he hadn't found the Blink Potion earlier, he would've already been sent straight to the afterlife the first time he met her.
Despite the helplessness in his heart—
Lin Yu had no intention of giving up.
Without hesitation, he prepared to abruptly change direction and run backward.
After all—
Between the dungeon's final boss and Wang Shan, who was still just a player—
He knew very well which threat was worse.
"Hahahaha! You're dead for sure now, Lin Yu!"
Seeing the Blood Clan Queen appear, Wang Shan froze for a split second.
Then he reacted immediately, a delighted grin spreading across his face.
At the same time—
He felt extremely grateful to Wang Gang.
If Wang Gang hadn't messaged him earlier, Wang Shan would've definitely fled the instant he saw the Blood Clan Queen.
After all, she looked dangerous at a glance.
But now—
He didn't need to think too much.
Although Wang Gang's message told him to bring Lin Yu to the underground chamber—
In Wang Shan's mind, handing Lin Yu directly to the Blood Clan Queen should count as completing the mission.
And now—
He had encountered her by pure luck.
At this moment, Wang Shan felt like the protagonist of a novel, blessed by fortune.
Lin Yu delivered himself to his door—
And then the Blood Clan Queen showed up.
Effortless success.
Seeing Lin Yu turn and rush toward him—
Wang Shan's face lit up with excitement.
Gripping his dagger tightly, he stabbed straight at Lin Yu.
Obviously—
Wang Gang hadn't emphasized anything special when talking to Wang Shan.
Lin Yu had already anticipated Wang Shan's attack.
But with no weapon in hand, he could only raise his arm to block the dagger.
However—
Just as Wang Shan's dagger was about to make intimate contact with Lin Yu's arm—
Something completely unexpected happened.
The Blood Clan Queen, who had still been some distance away—
Appeared in front of Wang Shan in an instant.
Before Wang Shan could react—
A terrifying force clamped down on his throat.
In the next second—
His feet lifted off the ground.
He—
Was lifted straight into the air by the Blood Clan Queen!
"??? What the hell is happening?!"
Seeing the Blood Clan Queen suddenly appear beside him—
Lin Yu was naturally confused.
But what confused him even more—
Was that she didn't attack him at all.
Instead—
She grabbed Wang Shan by the neck.
Lin Yu froze for a split second.
Then, despite his confusion, he immediately used the Swift Potion.
After activating it, his body felt light as a feather as he sprinted forward.
He had no idea why the Blood Clan Queen targeted Wang Shan—
But there was no way he was going to stand around asking questions.
Behind him—
Wang Shan's throat was locked in the Blood Clan Queen's grip.
Her strength was overwhelming.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
His legs kicked wildly, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
He couldn't understand—
Why the Blood Clan Queen had suddenly attacked him.
Hadn't Wang Gang said they reached an agreement?
"Could it be… I got betrayed?"
This thought filled Wang Shan's mind with doubt.
In the final moment before death—
The only thing reflected in his eyes—
Was the Blood Clan Queen's furious, blood-red gaze.
For some reason—
That gaze reminded him of the look a neighbor's older brother gave him as a child, after he stole their little sister's toy.
But Wang Shan couldn't understand—
Why hurting Lin Yu—
Would make the Blood Clan Queen look at him like that.
Unfortunately—
He would never get an answer.
[A player has died. Current dungeon player count: 3]
"Did Lin Yu die?"
The moment the system announcement sounded—
Wang Gang and Li Hai, who were still searching for Lin Yu, froze.
Shock filled their faces.
"Damn it! Wang Gang got there first!"
Li Hai's face twisted with resentment.
He had thought he would be the one to find Lin Yu first.
Now Wang Gang might get all the rewards.
Just as Wang Gang was about to message Li Hai—
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
"No—wait! Why was it Wang Shan who died?!"
Looking at the contact list—
The Wang Shan he had previously messaged was gone.
Which meant—
The player who just died wasn't Lin Yu.
It was Wang Shan.
Wang Gang's expression immediately changed.
[Wang Gang: Where did you find Lin Yu?]
At the same time—
Lin Yu was sprinting through the corridors, replaying the scene in his mind.
Logically speaking—
The Blood Clan Queen should've attacked the closest target first.
So why did she ignore him and go after Wang Shan instead?
The question left him deeply confused.
...
Meanwhile—
The Blood Clan Queen tossed Wang Shan's corpse onto the ground like a piece of trash, not sparing it a second glance.
Her gaze followed the direction Lin Yu had fled.
Within her red pupils—
There was a trace of… satisfaction.
"Good thing I found this idiot first…"
She muttered softly.
Then—
The emotional trace vanished from her eyes, returning to cold indifference.
