Chapter 17 - Wang Gang Is Killed! So the “Invincible Spot” Was Useless?!

[Vampire Castle Dungeon—SHOCKING REVEAL! An "Invincible Spot" That Lets You Avoid the Blood Clan Queen's Pursuit!]

A blatantly clickbait-filled post suddenly shot to the top of the Horror Game trending forum.

Even though countless players had already been fooled by similar clickbait titles more times than they could count—

When they saw a post like this appear, they still couldn't resist clicking it.

They entered the thread, fully prepared to greet the poster with a "friendly" verbal barrage—

But the video attached to the post immediately caught their attention.

After all—

The video's thumbnail was the Blood Clan Queen herself, standing in the Vampire Castle dungeon, her signature blood-red eyes staring directly at the viewer.

Just looking at those crimson pupils was enough to make some particularly sensitive players feel a chill crawl up their spine.

Once the video started, the opening scene was extremely dark.

They could barely make out that a player was hiding somewhere.

Then—

A faint light appeared above the hidden player's head.

Only then did the viewers watching the video realize in shock—

The player in the footage was hiding inside a coffin.

What followed stunned them even more.

They watched in disbelief as—

The coffin lid was pushed open not by the player, but by the most terrifying existence in the Vampire Castle dungeon—

The Blood Clan Queen herself.

Even though they were only watching a video, the players felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation and helpless dread.

They were certain—

The player hiding in the coffin was about to be discovered and brutally killed.

But the next scene left them completely dumbfounded.

The Blood Clan Queen seemed as if she hadn't seen the player at all.

After glancing inside through the gap a few times, she simply turned around and walked away.

This scene left countless players staring blankly at their screens.

They couldn't believe their own eyes.

Especially the words the Blood Clan Queen spoke before leaving—

They made many viewers feel subtly insulted.

Some players even began to doubt whether what they had just seen was real.

Was the Blood Clan Queen actually just someone in costume?

Was this video filmed in some random studio rather than the Vampire Castle dungeon?

The idea that the Blood Clan Queen would spare a player hiding in a coffin was simply too absurd to accept.

After the Blood Clan Queen turned and left, the video ended.

The final frame contained nothing but a link to a Horror Game livestream room.

[Trying to funnel traffic to your favorite streamer, huh?]

[That's disgusting—brothers, let's go flame him in the livestream. Using this kind of bait to pull viewers?!]

[Anyone good at doxxing? I'll put up a pack of spicy strips as a bounty for the poster's info!]

Filled with suspicion and irritation, the players who watched the video clicked into the livestream link—

Fully prepared to launch a verbal crusade.

...

At the same time.

Inside Wang Gang's livestream room—

[Gotta admit, Wang Gang's luck is pretty decent.]

[Yeah, who would've thought he'd stumble into a safe spot by accident?]

[This feels historic. Is someone finally about to clear the Vampire Castle dungeon?]

[Now that we know the invincible spot, even if we get matched into this dungeon in the future, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just sleep in a coffin and it's over.]

[What the hell?! Why did Wang Gang get discovered by the Blood Clan Queen?!]

[What's going on?! Shouldn't she be unable to detect him, just like before?!]

...

At first, Wang Gang's livestream chat was relaxed and cheerful.

After all—

Lin Yu had just gone through the same situation and come out completely unharmed.

But just as viewers were discussing whether Vampire Castle would finally drop out of the Top 10 Hardest Dungeons ranking—

Something utterly horrifying happened.

Through the screen, they saw it clearly—

After pushing open the coffin lid Wang Gang was hiding in, the Blood Clan Queen let out a few cold chuckles.

It was as if she had just witnessed something extremely amusing.

The next second—

She grabbed Wang Gang like a chicken, yanked him out of the coffin, and slammed him viciously onto the ground.

At the same time—

The bats that had previously stopped attacking the coffin suddenly moved again, as if they had received an order.

They swarmed toward Wang Gang at terrifying speed.

"AHHH—!"

Wang Gang let out a series of shrill, agonized screams.

But the screams ended almost instantly.

On the ground—

Only a corpse remained.

Watching Wang Gang's lifeless body on the screen, the livestream viewers wore expressions of utter disbelief.

No matter how hard they tried—

They couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Even more confusing was one question—

Lin Yu had just experienced the exact same situation.

So why was Wang Gang dead—

While Lin Yu was still alive?

[One player has died. Current dungeon player count: 1]

"How did it suddenly come down to just me?"

Seeing the system notification, Lin Yu's eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

What he had just experienced left him with a strong sense of having survived a catastrophe.

After all—

He never imagined that by sheer coincidence, he would discover such a special hiding method.

However—

The death of the final other player was extremely bad news for Lin Yu.

The second safety period hadn't arrived yet, and now only he remained.

Which meant—

For the rest of this dungeon run, he would become the Blood Clan Queen's sole target.

Worse still—

Lin Yu had no way of knowing whether hiding in the coffin came with restrictions.

For example—

Could a single coffin only be used for a few minutes before becoming ineffective?

He glanced at the countdown timer.

Seeing that the safety period was about to begin, Lin Yu finally relaxed a little.

Five full minutes of safety time would be enough for him to search for items.

With some luck—

Clearing this dungeon might still be possible.

...

[Safety Period Activated! Time remaining: 04:59]

Seeing the safety period begin, Lin Yu prepared to climb out of the coffin.

But—

Just as the thought crossed his mind—

Footsteps suddenly echoed by his ear.

In an instant, Lin Yu's expression changed drastically.

He was the last player in the dungeon.

Which meant—

The owner of those footsteps could only be the most terrifying existence here.

The Blood Clan Queen.

"Don't tell me…"

Suddenly, Lin Yu seemed to realize something.

His expression shifted again.

And what happened next—

Matched his suspicion perfectly.

The Blood Clan Queen pushed the coffin lid open even wider.

Then—

As casually as someone climbing into bed—

She lay down inside the coffin.

And as if closing a door behind her—

She shut the coffin lid.

Watching the lid close above his head, Lin Yu's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

His face was filled with speechless disbelief.

Fortunately, the coffin was large enough.

He could lie on the opposite side.

Otherwise—

Lin Yu was 100% certain he would've been forced to lie right next to her.
