23: A born butcher, a true executioner!
"Is he really a murderer?!"
In the monitoring room, Chen Chuan looked at the terrifying figure on the screen and immediately wanted to rush out to save people.
That zombie from before could still be explained as a custom prop.
But the Goethe in front of him, aside from being taller, didn't look like a dummy at all!
What dummy could be so agile?
Whether it was casually throwing Song Yang or picking up the phone on the ground, everything indicated that this was a person!
Moreover, Chen Chuan had unintentionally witnessed a scene on Yellow Springs Road earlier.
Looking at the several university students lying on the ground, their lives unknown, his scalp instantly went numb.
Without thinking, he immediately wanted to rush out to support his subordinates.
fright value +18
fright value +24
fright value +16
fright value +20
...Because the notification was reactivated, the sound of fright value increasing kept ringing in Li Zhou's mind.
Ignoring the joy, he turned to Chen Chuan and shouted, "Officer Chen, wait!"
However, it was already too late.
Chen Chuan had already burst through the door and was running towards the inner area.
"What a sin!"
Li Zhou shook his head, a wry smile on his face.
Without thinking, he quickly followed him out.
On the other side.
After picking up the phone Song Yang had dropped on the ground, Goethe looked at the dense barrage of comments, his eyes devoid of any human emotion.
As for the audience in the livestream room at this moment, they had all stopped typing.
In the vast livestream room, the barrage was completely silent.
At this moment, everyone finally understood what was chasing the Streamer.
A terrifying aura passed through the screen, directly into the minds of all the viewers!
A familiar scene happened again.
In various places across the country, many people simultaneously blurted out a "Holy crap."
The reason Goethe's terror level was higher than a zombie's was because the fear he brought was far more real than a zombie's.
Whether it was the bandages wrapped around his face or his emotionless eyes, they all spoke of his difference from ordinary people.
Everyone gazed at by Goethe's eyes felt his indifference to life.
Undoubtedly, if he were to kill someone, no one would doubt it.
Involuntarily, some viewers recalled what they had heard in the livestream room earlier.
Someone was killed!
"Don't... don't move, put your hands up!"
Just as the livestream room audience was stunned by Goethe's terrifying appearance and aura, a slightly trembling voice broke the silence.
Goethe slightly turned his head; a police officer, trembling slightly all over, was pointing a gun at him.
Casually throwing the phone onto Song Yang's stomach, the scarlet in his eyes gradually faded.
The next moment, Goethe seemed to turn into a statue again, completely still.
On the other side, the first police officer to arrive here had hands trembling with nervousness.
When gazed at by Goethe's emotionless eyes, he felt an inexplicable fear rise from within him.
This fear was uncontrollable.
If it weren't for the last shred of sanity he possessed, this police officer probably would have fired his gun directly.
Soon, more and more people arrived here.
Chen Chuan was panting, he came to the front of the crowd, his gaze directly locked onto the now calm Goethe.
His brows furrowed instantly, and an alarm bell rang loudly in Chen Chuan's heart!
As the captain of a criminal police team, he had seen many, many heinous criminals.
Among them were various devils who treated human lives like dirt.
These criminal devils all had one thing in common: indifference to the lives of others.
However, no matter what kind of criminal, the feeling they gave Chen Chuan was not as intense as the Goethe in front of him!
This guy in front of him was a born Butcher, a true Executioner!
This was the only thought that flashed through Chen Chuan's mind the moment he truly saw Goethe.
Numerous police officers kept a safe distance from Goethe, all of them raising their weapons.
Even though Goethe's aura had dissipated, everyone still felt an inexplicable pressure.
It was as if they were facing not a human, but an existence of a different level.
The air fell silent, with neither side moving recklessly.
The police were worried about provoking Goethe and causing harm to the assistant and Song Yang at his feet.
From the looks of the two, they shouldn't have suffered any fatal blows yet.
They could still be saved.
Goethe didn't move entirely because of Li Zhou's previous instructions.
Except when facing players and Li Zhou himself, Goethe had to pretend to be a dummy.
Goethe easily distinguished between players and others, so he obediently began to act like a dummy.
Chen Chuan took a deep breath, knowing that if this situation wasn't handled well, it might cause a national sensation.
Just as he was about to step forward and say something, a hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
At such a tense moment, these sudden footsteps instantly attracted the attention of the police officers.
Swish swish swish!
In an instant, more than fifty percent of the gun muzzles turned.
"Uh... it's me!"
Li Zhou looked at the dark muzzles in front of him, subconsciously raised his hands, and quickly stopped in his tracks.
He quickly glanced around, and after realizing that the police hadn't acted against Goethe yet, he slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Quickly organizing his words, Li Zhou spoke at a very fast pace:
"Um, actually, everyone has misunderstood."
"That's an NPC dummy I specially custom-made, not some murderer."
"Those two guys on the ground are just scared and fainted from fright."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly stunned.
Including Chen Chuan.
Fake?
Another NPC?
"Um, if you don't believe me, you can call out to those two guys on the ground."
"Or, let me go over there."
Li Zhou scratched his head and said.
This situation truly made him feel helpless.
It seems that in the future, when players enter, their phones will have to be confiscated in advance.
On the other side, Chen Chuan had already believed most of it after hearing Li Zhou say it was a specially custom-made dummy.
Because from beginning to end, there were too many strange things about this matter.
After a moment of silence, he waved his hand, telling his subordinates to put away their guns.
"Did you forget what I told you last time?"
Looking at Li Zhou, Chen Chuan's expression was incredibly peculiar.
Two false alarms like this are probably rare nationwide.
"Uh, this is a Haunted House, after all."
"This kind of situation... should be normal, right?"
Li Zhou wiped the tip of his nose, speaking with a hint of uncertainty.
"Normal?"
"Have you ever seen a Haunted House that scares people enough to call the police?"
"What if these players have heart conditions or something, and they really get scared to death?"
Chen Chuan heavily exhaled.
Turning his head, he looked at the motionless Goethe in the distance.
After a moment of hesitation, he took a step and walked directly over.
"Captain!"
Seeing this, a subordinate instinctively spoke up.
"It's fine, that really is a dummy!"
Li Zhou quickly explained again, then hurriedly followed.
"Officer Chen, I remember everything you said last time."
"But I also didn't expect these university students to have such poor psychological resilience."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay attention next time!"
