I Got My Cheat Skill by Acting My Way into a Horror Protagonist Role Chapter 51

"Lower your heads immediately!!"

"Absolutely do not look—"

The moment Song Shengwan on the scene saw the Scavenger, she felt as if horror value that shouldn't exist in reality was wildly increasing right now.

She immediately shouted the order—they were simply too close!!

That terrifying sense of suffocation and fear made it feel like one's brain had instantly received too much stimulation, as if it would explode the next moment.

"Damn it, my eyes—"

"Feel like my head is going to burst open..."

"Stop looking, stop looking!..."

The footage transmitted back by the drones was equally shocking. The fear of flesh-and-blood humans being utterly helpless before unimaginable monsters continuously surged through everyone.

Only those leaders who had experienced much in life, with resilient and unbreakable minds, could withstand all this with their mental strength.

"Heavens, am I seeing things? What is that thing!?"

"I, I feel so dizzy..."

"Is the world really ending?"

"Why is the sky blood red, and still moving?..."

"Oh god! What kind of monster is that?! It's over, we're all finished!..."

The southern suburbs were quarantined, with no one within several miles.

But with the Scavenger's body not shrinking much, almost half of Maple City's residents saw that slightly squirming massive figure.

What would happen if a monster that only roamed during Quiet Moment, devouring everything in sight, and extremely eerie, appeared in the real world was unimaginable!

That incredibly massive Scavenger was clearly summoned by the long-robed youth. That person actually interacted intimately with an existence that even ghosts feared and dreaded, as if no one else was around.

Wasn't he afraid of being swallowed whole? Just the gentle movement of those terrifying thousand-meter-long tentacles brought endless oppressive feeling.

This place was full of those unpalatable garbage, swirling around the long-robed youth, making the Writer's aura much thinner.

The Scavenger slowly shrank considerably, so its true eyes hidden behind the dirty fur could 'see' the Writer, its huge sharp mouth on its back slowly opening.

Those squirming eerie massive tentacles swept up countless black beetles and placed them into the abyssal giant mouth on its back, the layers of secondary teeth continuously chewing.

No matter how strong the black beetles' reproduction and regeneration abilities were, they couldn't withstand a single Scavenger.

The indescribable power belonging to the Eyeless Eyes was continuously erased. The Sunshine Residential Area that had almost fully manifested in the real world began to slowly dissipate.

It actually didn't progress further?!—

The ghosts from the horror game world were about to return to that sunless hell once again, after briefly glimpsing these mountains and rivers.

The Writer stood quietly before the Scavenger, his scholarly aura making him seem like a teacher. He nodded slightly toward the drone and said gently, "Everyone, good evening—"

The fractured space continuously healed and repaired. On the machines where energy fluctuations had peaked due to the Scavenger's appearance, the curves were continuously decreasing.

This sudden nightmare was about to end.

The blood color gradually dissipated. The various ghosts stood quietly on the rooftop, with the Writer as their center, ultimately vanishing from human sight.

Except for the southern suburban land damaged by the eerie power, presenting a burnt and gray appearance, no one could tell what had happened here anymore.

"The world is really going to change..."

Someone murmured quietly.

It seems the files will need to be revised again.

————————————————

In the horror game world.

Quiet Moment was originally the time when the Scavenger appeared. Game adventure instances generally didn't proceed during this time, and if they did, they were reaching their conclusion.

Tonight, the Scavenger had clearly manifested completely in this city earlier because of the Writer's call.

"Disperse." The Writer didn't pay attention to the ghosts, speaking softly. The ghosts quickly left the rooftop as if granted pardon.

After this instance ended, the world game rules would reshape some ghosts that had been damaged by the Eyeless Eyes' indescribable power.

As for certain ghost scum that had already been humanely destroyed, since they were damaged by external forces and weren't existences protected by instance rules, they wouldn't appear again.

"Thank you, you came just in time..." The Writer was clearly in a very good mood, pressing extremely close to the Scavenger, his slender bony fingertips gently rubbing through the dirty gray fur.

The Scavenger emitted low, teeth-grating purring sounds and saliva swallowing noises, with occasional roars coming from its back.

Omnipresent tentacles grabbed the two types of eerie beetles from every crevice, throwing them into the terrifying abyssal sharp mouth on its back like snacks.

As for the front, displayed before Xiao Gui'an, it was like a large brown-haired dog covering its eyes, somewhat scruffy and cute.

Xiao Gui'an had originally been gambling, never expecting the Scavenger would actually come bounding over to find him so joyfully, arriving so quickly and directly saving the situation.

"So well-behaved~" Watching the Scavenger obediently lie on the balcony, extending its large head for him to rub, Xiao Gui'an gently turned to look at Xu Zisheng, "Young friend, what do you think? This child is quite adorable, right?..."

Adorable?

Xu Zisheng looked at the eerie behemoth before him, not quite understanding how it could be associated with those two words. Mr. Yan's aesthetic sense was truly different from ordinary people—

No, different from ordinary ghosts would be more accurate.

He hadn't missed how the ghosts had feared and avoided the Scavenger just moments before.

But given Mr. Yan's status, perhaps this giant monster before them really was like a pet dog to him.

Apart from the unique aura emanating from Xiao Gui'an, the Scavenger that adored him detected a somewhat familiar scent from other small objects on the rooftop.

Hidden within the thick fur, its six blood-vortex-like, lifeless hollow pupils slightly rotated, vaguely locking onto Xu Zisheng.

Xu Zisheng immediately tensed all his muscles, quickly entering combat readiness. He slightly crouched, gently clenched his fists, watching the behemoth before him with extreme vigilance.

It was the scent from the deepest part of that void...

That disgusting place, it didn't like approaching at all...

With just one glance, the Scavenger withdrew its gaze, taking small, clumsy, slow sips of the positive emotions coming from Xiao Gui'an.

Not daring to make large movements, afraid it might crush the small being before it.

[When the third round of the game ends—]

[Game end countdown: 00:00:10...]

It was indeed originally just a C-level instance, but after this series of events, calling it half an S-level game adventure instance wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Xiao Gui'an quietly lowered his gaze to look at Xu Zisheng guarding Gui Yi. Originally, Xu Zisheng didn't need to care about a stranger he'd only known for a few hours, yet he was willing to pay so much to resurrect a cannon-fodder NPC...

[Xu Zisheng... does this mean we're friends now?]

[With a Chosen One of Fate as backup, can I act recklessly in my future roles?]

He thought somewhat belatedly, yet with a bit of joyful anticipation.

Since they were friends, he shouldn't let the other worry and feel guilty too much.

Everything should end now.

The breathing rhythm changed.

Gui Yi woke up.

Xu Zisheng's hand at his side slightly tightened, a trace of relaxation coloring the depths of his deep, calm eyes.

The youth with curly black hair trembled his eyelashes, slowly opening his eyes. With confusion and bewilderment, he looked at the brown-haired young man before him and softly asked, "Who are you?—"
