Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Wrong...
'Thud~'
A chill spread rapidly from Wobuju's buttocks to his entire body.
"Doctor... Hee-hee... why aren't you moving?"
Bai Liu's voice was incredibly off!
'Thud~'
Wobuju's body had completely stiffened,
Now, he was not just unable to move. His throat seemed choked by fear.
He was all too familiar with this 'thud' sound!
Was the sound at midnight made by Bai Liu?
'Thud~'
Accompanied by the sound, Wobuju finally got a clear view of Bai Liu's current state.
Her facial expression had turned utterly crazed, with her eyeballs horrifically bulging out.
And in her hand was a child's head, which she was banging relentlessly against the wall.
That's right...
Wobuju had guessed right, the thuds were indeed the muffled sounds of a head knocking against something.
Cold sweat slid down Wobuju's forehead, he swallowed and spoke with difficulty.
"Bai... Bai Liu, listen to me, we should... we should go find... find the director..."
"Tick, tick-tock..."
Bai Liu's throat emitted strange syllables, followed by a 'sweet' smile.
"The director? You're too late, the director is already dead~"
Run!
Wobuju dashed toward the door, only to be yanked back forcefully and fall to the ground.
Bai Liu was straddling Wobuju, her head bent backward 180 degrees to face him.
"Trying to run? What's wrong, don't you find me beautiful?"
"Beautiful, beautiful."
Wobuju agreed with her while desperately struggling.
"Beautiful and yet you struggle!"
Chop!
Bai Liu's darkened right hand plunged directly into Wobuju's chest.
"Gah-gah-gah, caught it, a beating heart~"
Dark red blood spread across the floor...
Wobuju with his mouth agape gasped for air. Some blood even spurted from his mouth.
He could feel that Bai Liu could crush his heart with just a little more force.
"Can I... can I be a... a clear-headed ghost..."
Wobuju uttered these last words with his remaining strength.
He couldn't figure out where his calculation had gone wrong, he had followed the rules of Kaidan.
"A clear-headed ghost? Hahaha! A clear-headed ghost? Didn't I tell you, this is... Split Hospital~"
'Spurt~'
With a muffled sound, Wobuju's heart was crushed.
The reasoning doctor, whose intellect rivaled Einstein's and had passed two levels, ultimately met a death with eyes wide open.
The Lighthouse Country's live stream went dark.
Analog Horror released a notice.
[Lighthouse Country's Chosen One: Wobuju, failed the challenge (Split Hospital).]
[The supernatural will descend in 120 seconds, invading the city—Chicago for 48 hours of havoc.]
The live stream room of Lighthouse Country was quiet.
Everyone had thought victory was within reach; was the professor actually killed in a reversal?
That always-seemingly-normal Bai Liu wasn't normal either?
Although not speaking, A-Long would not pass up the chance to mock them.
After all, some curs had been barking nonstop at their Dragon Country's stream earlier.
[Where are the flatterers of foreign things? Why aren't they barking now?]
[To flatter foreign things is a display of ignorance. It prevents people from truly understanding and experiencing the essence of foreign cultures, and from truly understanding their own cultural traditions.]
[How can those underdeveloped bandits compare to our culture's treasures of five thousand years?]
[Even if they snatch our 'deities,' they can't take away our culture, not to mention we still have our magnificent Great Wall!]
Many who didn't live in the area of supernatural invasion breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed their keyboards again.
[So what if it failed? Our place is full of talents, inherently better than yours.]
[Everyone stumbles, what can one failure signify?]
[You still dare to mock us, you better check out your own psychotic Chosen Ones~]
Stubborn to the end, the proud will eventually meet their downfall!
[What's the point, this challenge by Lighthouse is screwed anyway, let's go back to Jiang Xiao's live stream.]
Many people couldn't help but laugh bitterly at the mention of the name Jiang Xiao.
If it wasn't for his madness, Jiang Xiao would have likely been a legendary SSS-tier talent with an immortal physique.
This talent, although not invincible, could walk through over 80% of the Kaidan worlds with ease!
At that moment, Jiang Xiao, fuming, made his way to Bai Liu's room.
He didn't even wait for the security guard to come and knock on the door to accompany him.
'Bang!'
He kicked Bai Liu's door wide open!
"Bai Liu, you promised to take me to find SpongeBob tonight! Look at the time now!"
Bai Liu, who was combing her long hair inside the room, was baffled.
Σ(☉▽☉"a What the heck?
This guy is in such a hurry to come over and die?
"Heh... hehe..."
Bai Liu tilted her head and let out a few creepy laughs, placing a bloody head on the table.
"Alright, SpongeBob it is. Take a seat, I'll take you to find SpongeBob in a moment."
I'll take you to that damn SpongeBob right away!
Oblivious Jiang Xiao simply sat down on Bai Liu's hospital bed and watched her comb her hair.
'Bang!'
The room's door was shut by a mysterious force.
Then, it was clear to see how Bai Liu's hair, as she combed, began to bleed.
Her long hair started falling out rapidly...
Even large chunks of scalp were being combed off!
Her bright red skull was now starkly exposed under the light.
Still, Bai Liu did not stop; she continued to comb her bare skull.
Without the protection of the scalp, Bai Liu's brain looked like a layer of thin cowhide.
Each stroke of the comb raised large, dense wrinkles.
This scene made the livestream audience a bit overwhelmed.
[My god... I think it's better to turn off the lights; this is truly disgusting.]
[Is the guy who rushed at Bai Liu still around?]
[Yes, er, I've already recorded it. I think this Bai Liu is more thrilling, I'm starting tonight with three rounds!]
[Damn! Dude, how can you even?!]
[Er, maybe you should see Jiang Xiao's reaction?]
Jiang Xiao was still sitting dazedly on the bed, completely unaware of the severity of the situation.
[Is he scared silly?]
[Do you think you can scare a lunatic?]
Bai Liu pretended to casually glance back from the mirror to see if the kid was scared silly.
Hehe, motionless, must have been scared silly, right?
See why you come here every day to annoy me!
I must torment you thoroughly today before I kill you!
Just as Bai Liu thought about splitting open her own skull, Jiang Xiao could no longer sit still.
"No, no! Your way of combing is all wrong! Oh! This is really terrible!"
Jiang Xiao couldn't just sit there; he rushed over to Bai Liu, took the comb, and began to fix her hair.
Bai Liu: ?????
"what? Wait, wait, wait! Stop! Aren't you afraid of me?"
Afraid? What's there to be afraid of?
Jiang Xiao had already started noisily styling Bai Liu's hair with the comb.
"Bai Liu, I know the kind of hairstyle you want, I did that kind before for SpongeBob!"
Jiang Xiao's set of makeshift 'barber' moves was sharp and quick!
"All done, how does it look?"
Bai Liu, looking in the mirror, was stunned.
So were the livestream viewers.
Many were noticeably upset by the "hairstyle" Jiang Xiao had created.
This damn thing is truly twisted—uglier and more disgusting when done by Bai Liu herself.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
Looking at herself in the mirror, Bai Liu let out the most miserable scream of her life!
Not to mention that a huge piece of her skull had been bluntly removed.
This idiot Jiang Xiao had styled her brains into a creepy oval shape!
Absolutely bloody ugly and disgusting!!!
"Tell me, did you really style SpongeBob's hair like this too?!"
Bai Liu was absolutely furious, her entire body trembling!
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao pondered for a while, his face blushing slightly as he sheepishly said, "I think so, it was in the first season, the twelfth episode, on Halloween, I personally did SpongeBob's hair."
Bai Liu: ?????
Not... your face blushing like a pink teapot—I'm not complimenting you, hey!
(Insert short review, erm, bizarre style; not advisable while eating)
