I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

Chapter 74: White Candle Problem, Model Worker Example!

When Qin Nuo's voice echoed through the corridor, several figures appeared on both sides.

Their expressions were cold, eyes fixed intently on the pouches hanging from Qin Nuo and Fu Bing's waists. Without wasting words, they said, "We only want the white candles. Take the candles and leave, that's it."

"Two white candles aren't enough for the four of you, are they?" Qin Nuo chuckled.

"That's none of your concern. We'll find our own way."

"We're all players here. We don't want to make things difficult for you. If you don't hand over the candles, you'll have to use your immunity token here."

"If you give us the candles, with a bit of luck, you might at least survive the night."

The four players had made their murderous intent clear.

Targeting Qin Nuo and Fu Bing was simply because they were a level 2 and a **, the easiest targets in this instance.

Fu Bing took a step back, trying to negotiate, "There's no need to resort to such extremes. Why don't we all sit down and have a calm discussion?"

"I can't believe an idiot like you has a white candle!" a tall player sneered at Fu Bing, shaking his head.

Then, he turned his gaze back to Qin Nuo, "You..."

Bang!!

However, before he could finish his sentence, his head was struck heavily, sending him flying and briefly losing consciousness.

The others didn't even have time to react to what had happened.

Then, everyone saw a pitch-black stone fly back into Qin Nuo's hand.

The next second, the stone was thrown out again.

"It's a ghost creature!"

"Ghost creature against ghost creature, everyone, use your ghost creatures against him!"

A player quickly pulled out a black ruler, but it couldn't withstand the ghost power of the Grave Ghost Stone. The ruler shattered instantly, along with his jaw, teeth flying.

He was thrown several meters away, twitching slightly as he lay on the ground.

The rest were stunned.

When they saw the Grave Ghost Stone return to Qin Nuo's hand, they suddenly realized.

"A horror-level ghost creature..."

"How does a level 2 newbie have such a ghost creature?"

The remaining two were filled with deep fear, scrambling away, not caring about their two companions' fate.

"Brother, where did you get that stone?" Fu Bing asked, amazed at the stone in Qin Nuo's hand.

"Picked it up by the roadside."

Qin Nuo replied casually, not wanting to waste time here. "It's getting dark. Let's go back to the room, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep."

The player with the shattered teeth and dislocated jaw got up, mouth full of blood, mumbling something.

Qin Nuo ignored him and turned to leave.

Back in the room, Qin Nuo looked out the window as the sky gradually darkened from dusk.

The darkness crept in from the distant mist.

Qin Nuo quickly took out a compressed biscuit to satisfy his hunger and replenish energy.

Then, without even taking off his caregiver uniform, he lay down.

As the darkness fell over the asylum, the white candle was lit.

The faint candlelight was weak in the room, like a lone boat in a storm, ready to be swallowed at any moment.

But Qin Nuo didn't think too much about it, trying to fall asleep as quickly as possible.

In the dark, Qin Nuo heard many eerie sounds.

It felt as if many unknown creatures had entered the room, seemingly sitting by the bed, staring at him.

Qin Nuo even imagined that the moment he opened his eyes, countless greedy eyes and terrifying ghost faces would appear in his vision.

Besides, he heard screams and cries for help from outside.

Maybe it was the voices of those players without white candles, or perhaps it was just an auditory hallucination.

Qin Nuo didn't think about it, as he was already drifting into sleep.

...

After an unknown amount of time, the clock on the wall chimed.

Qin Nuo opened his eyes, looking at the morning outside the window.

In fact, he had been awake for a while, just unsure whether it was still night or morning, so he hadn't opened his eyes.

"Last night's sleep was much better than the night before."

Qin Nuo stretched lazily.

Having mastered the technique of not opening his eyes in the dark, this so-called night nightmare mode didn't seem too difficult.

Could the purpose of this mode be just to prevent players from staying up late, so they can be energized for work the next day?

"Something went wrong last night!" the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.

"What do you mean?"

"Look at the white candle on the counter."

Qin Nuo turned his head, his expression changing instantly when he saw that the white candle hadn't burned out!

"Last night, the white candle went out halfway. Fortunately, those things of the night had already left the room, otherwise..."

Otherwise, he couldn't imagine the consequences!

Qin Nuo examined the remaining finger-length of the white candle, his face darkening. "The quality of the white candle is faulty!"

Someone had tampered with it!

"The nun?" Qin Nuo immediately thought of them.

"Quite possibly," the Blood-Eyed Ghost replied.

"Maybe you did something to displease them, or perhaps there's someone else."

"Something displeasing..."

The nuns wouldn't be displeased with anything within their duties.

It could only be something outside their duties.

The only thing he did outside his duties yesterday was discovering the man in the restroom and the women in the meeting room.

"So this is a warning?" Qin Nuo frowned.

The more it seemed like this, the more it indicated that the nuns were problematic.

They must be involved in the main storyline of this instance.

"What do you plan to do?" the Blood-Eyed Ghost prompted.

"Or maybe it's not the nuns. Let's not jump to conclusions. Take it one step at a time."

Qin Nuo got up, tidied himself, and prepared to leave.

Today, he had to go to the most terrifying Room 301 for a full attendance check on the patients.

This was undoubtedly Qin Nuo's biggest challenge at the moment. The white candle issue could wait.

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice echoed in his ear.

"A brand new day, face it with a smile. Congratulations to the players who survived the third day. You're lucky to have made it through the first night. Of course, this also showcases a part of your strength."

"After last night's game mode reshuffle, four players have been eliminated."

"Rainy Night Without an Umbrella, Indestructible Cockroach, Void Prince, and King Jiji were all killed by game NPCs, ending their instance."

"Good luck to the remaining players. Keep up the effort!"

"Four more eliminated..."

Qin Nuo murmured, surprisingly finding that the list of eliminated players didn't include the Emperor's name.

That blond man actually survived the night nightmare? Such impressive strength?

Qin Nuo was secretly amazed.

Of course, it could be that he was lucky, or perhaps he found a way to avoid the night nightmare!

Lost in thought, Qin Nuo stepped out of the room. As he went downstairs, he saw someone approaching from afar.

It was the blond man!

He was covered in injuries, half of his face stained with blood, and the revolver in his hand was deformed and broken.

It was hard to imagine what he had gone through last night.

He tucked the broken revolver into his waistband, put on his caregiver uniform, cursed under his breath, and limped away.

Fu Bing happened to come down from upstairs, startled by the blond man's injuries.

"He..."

Qin Nuo said to him, "This is what you call professional dedication."

"Injured like that, yet still clocking in for work. He's our model worker, you know?"

The Blood-Eyed Ghost rolled its eyes, "Does it make you uncomfortable not to say something cheeky?"
