Chapter 0043 – Mission Accomplished

　　Returning from the dead, ice-cold water slid down from the top of Chen Ge’s head, he was in a state of shock, his chest was heaving, his lips were purple, and his hands were still gripping the kitchen knife tightly.

　　It was only after a minute or two that he calmed down, the drowsiness in his head dispersing quite a bit.

　　Reaching up to wipe a handful of water droplets from his face, he staggered to his feet from the tub.

　　In the light of the candle flame, the room seemed unchanged.

　　”I should have chopped something when I swung my sword just now, and I heard a crunching sound.” Chen Ge looked along the angle of the chop, and a mark remained on the corner of the bathtub.

　　”Chopped on the bathtub? It shouldn’t be, at that time, I clearly felt someone pressing down on my head, that chop should have hit him.” Chen Ge desperately wanted to know the truth, he walked out of the bathtub and took the cell phone that was still recording into his hands.

　　Stopping the recording, it played the video from the beginning.

　　”Sitting in the bathtub at 3:30, there were no abnormal conditions until 3:43.” Chen Ge leaned against the wall, his eyes glued to the screen, and at three forty-four, he lay down into the bathtub, the water splashing outwards, the water level with the bathtub.

　　”It does look a little weird looking at it like that.” It hadn’t felt as scary when he went through it in person, but there was a creepy feeling when he watched it as a bystander through the video.

　　Chen Ge compared the time, twenty seconds before he laid down into the bathtub, everything was normal in the bathroom, only the occasional sound of water dripping could be heard.

　　After another ten seconds, Chen Ge’s brows furrowed as he realized that the video was not quite the same as what he felt in the bathtub!

　　According to the time he had counted silently, at this time, footsteps should have sounded in the corridor, but the video remained calm and quiet, with no strange sounds whatsoever.

　　After another five or six seconds, Chen Ge’s impression of the sound of banging on the door did not appear in the video, and there was only dark water and flickering candlelight on the screen.

　　”Could it be that the footsteps in the corridor and the sound of banging doors were all my own hallucinations?”

　　A full fifty seconds had passed, and a large number of bubbles began to surface on the originally calm water in the screen, and Chen Ge in the bathtub was about to be unable to hold on any longer.

　　And right at this moment, something that made Chen Ge’s scalp go numb appeared.

　　A palm-sized mirror fragment next to the bathtub, the surface slowly darkened, and a black shadow drilled out from it, and it lay on its back next to the bathtub in an extremely bizarre scene.

　　Looking at the outline of the body, this person resembled He Feng.

　　There were more and more bubbles on the water surface, and the most critical moment came next.

　　In the middle of the video, Chen Ge’s body and will reached the limit, he really couldn’t hold on, his hands propped up on the bottom of the pool, ready to give up.

　　But just when his head was about to surface, the black shadow standing next to the bathtub suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed down on his head!

　　Unable to breathe, water rushed into his mouth and nose, Chen Ge struggled desperately, he waved the kitchen knife in his hand indiscriminately, the black shadow’s figure floated and swung, the kitchen knife seemed to be able to have some effect on it, but it was minimal.

　　At the moment of life and death, the muppets that were originally placed around the bathtub seemed like they were being blown by the wind, and the smallest one of them used its body to press down on the palm-sized pieces of the mirror.

　　With the mirror covered, the black shadow became much blurrier all of a sudden, and immediately afterward, Chen Ge unintentionally slashed its head, and the monster dissipated instantly.

　　The blade went unabated and finally landed on the edge of the bathtub, leaving a shallow mark, and Chen Ge also drilled out of the water the moment that power disappeared.

　　The video ended here, and after understanding the cause and effect of the incident, the idea of getting rid of the monster in the mirror grew stronger in Chen Ge’s heart.

　　”Can’t keep it!”

　　Chen Ge carefully saved the video and picked up the ragdoll lying on the mirror, the little guy’s back was scratched by the edge of the mirror and his body was soaked.

　　”All of them are also existences of another world, but they have very different personalities from each other, some are purely good in nature, and others have hearts filled with malice.” Chen Ge dried the water on his body, put on his clothes, and stuffed the several muppets all in his pockets before settling down.

　　”Smashing the mirror didn’t help, it still managed to appear in the mirror fragments, how the hell is this monster going to be dealt with?” Divine, unseen, unseen, unsearchable, against something like this, it was innately at a disadvantage.

　　Chen Ge took the palm-sized mirror fragment on the ground in his hand, he had done it unintentionally, but accidentally saw the water droplets rolling on the mirror surface, leaving a shallow Arabic numeral – “3”.

　　”It was left by the monster in the mirror? Is this a demonstration to me? Does three represent the three of us, Heshan, He Feng, and me, or is it saying that it’s going to finish me off within three days?” Chen Ge didn’t understand the meaning of this number, but he was certain that it wouldn’t have a good meaning, “Still really think I’m afraid of you? One day I’ll pull you out of the mirror and sunburn you alive at noon when the sun’s rays are at their strongest!”

　　Chen Ge said the most vicious curse he could think of, just now his life was hanging by a thread, it was really too thrilling.

　　Taking a breather, Chen Ge picked up his black cell phone, originally he didn’t hold much hope anymore, but when he slid the screen and saw the message alert on his phone, his eyes instantly brightened up.

　　”Lucky Lich Favored One, you closed your breath in the water for sixty-two seconds, congratulations on completing the Nightmare Difficulty daily mission! Receive the mission reward – Yin Pupil.”

　　”Yin Pupil: Seeing the unknown, through the land of yin, seeing the Yin God with a yang body (vision has been drastically improved, other functions unknown).”

　　”Accumulating the completion of two nightmare difficulty daily quests, after completing the third nightmare difficulty quest, a trial quest with a horror scene will be randomly unlocked!”

　　”Three consecutive mission completion reaches over ninety-five percent, unlocking a brand new function – Knightly Ghost Favorability!”

　　After reading all the information in a series, Chen Ge had an indescribable feeling in his heart, the nightmare level daily mission required sixty seconds of breath closure in the water, and because of his nervousness and other emotions, he was ready to give up after sticking to it for only fifty seconds or so, and would have been unable to complete the mission this time around. But because the monster in the mirror had a murderous thought about him, forcing him to hold on for a few more seconds, and only in the end did he narrowly complete the task.

　　What was lost was gained, although there had been a life hanging in the balance, overall, the result was still good.

　　Chen Ge flipped his black cell phone, this nightmare level mission was very crucial in his opinion.

　　If this mission failed, not only would he not be able to obtain the mission rewards, the unlocking of the new scene would also be delayed, and most importantly, that brand new feature in the phone would not be unlocked.

　　With curiosity, he found the column of the newly appeared Liege’s favorability and tapped it.

　　The cell phone page appeared to change, and five completely unfamiliar names surfaced on the screen.
