Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: xQc Opens a New Path!

"xQc, watch out! Lights-out warning ahead!!"

"I watched Jenny's stream. From here on out it's nonstop horrors, and in the end it'll force you into the bathroom. Looks like Jenny died in the bathroom!!"

"That's right. The scariest part was when the knocking died. She thought everything was safe, but then came the sudden turnaround kill. Tsk tsk, even thinking about it now sends shivers down my spine!"

"Come on, xQc! Let's see if you can top Jenny and make it through this third loop!"

The viewers chimed in one after another, all of them holding their breath as they stared intently at the livestream.

Although Silent Hill PT was a free game that anyone could play, most of the viewers were still pretty timid and didn't dare try it themselves at all.

At times like this, watching the streamer suffer was the best choice.

At this moment, xQc was also extremely panicked. He kept taking deep breaths, trying to steady his emotions.

He knew that a whole string of intense scares was coming up. If he kept following Jenny's route, he would probably end up just like her, forced into the bathroom and scared to death inside, right?

What if he didn't go to the bathroom?

"Cha-chat, w-what if I back up right now? Wouldn't it be better if I don't go forward? Right? right."

xQc had a sudden inspiration as he tried to find another way to get through.

"Backing up is useless. There's no path back at all!!"

"Yeah, the doors behind you are all locked tight! They won't open!!"

The viewers felt this wouldn't work.

"Tr-trying it probably wouldn't hurt anything."

However, xQc didn't think so. The upcoming series of high-energy scares was genuinely terrifying.

Even though he had already seen it in Jenny's test play recording beforehand, actually playing it himself still left him feeling uneasy.

If he could avoid it, it would be best to avoid it.

With that in mind, xQc silently took a step backward.

And this would become the step xQc regretted most in the moments to come.

Because as he stepped back, the female ghost standing quietly in front of him suddenly sprang into action!

"Ugh ah!!!"

It let out a strange shriek, twitching like a glitching video as it stretched out its hands and took exaggerated little shuffling steps, instantly charging straight toward xQc!

"Holy shit, holy shit!!!"

Seeing the female ghost's over-the-top charge, xQc screamed in terror and spun around to run.

But as xQc started running, it seemed to trigger the ghost's viciousness, and its speed suddenly surged!

Bang!

In his extreme panic, xQc had forgotten he was at a corner. After only a couple steps, he slammed straight into the wall.

The current VR equipment didn't support pain feedback, so from that collision xQc only felt his footsteps halt abruptly.

Then he turned his head in panic, and the female ghost's enormous, deathly pale, twisted face was already pressed right against his forehead!!

A pale, slender hand shot directly toward his face!

"Aaaah, no no!!!"

xQc screamed in total collapse. Using the last shred of sanity he had, he frantically ripped off the VR headset and collapsed onto the VR platform.

The female ghost in front of him vanished, and he was back in his bedroom once again.

xQc's face was deathly pale as he sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath nonstop.

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit!"

"That was fucking terrifying!"

"Goddamn, that female ghost is way too scary!"

"Yeah, twitching as it charged forward, right into his face!"

"It's completely deranged! I didn't expect that at all!!!!!"

 ↳ "Fun Fact: I'm stroking it while watching the live."

 ↳ "What the fuck?"

"Holy fuck, that one really got me this time!"

The viewers in the livestream were all badly startled too!

This time was simply even more terrifying than the turnaround kill xQc had faced!

The impact from the female ghost was overwhelmingly strong!

Most of the viewers had watched Jenny's stream and already had expectations for how this plot would develop, so none of them had anticipated that the female ghost would go completely off script this time and charge straight over!

Moreover, when Jenny got hit with the turnaround kill, the ghost's ferocious face had only flashed past for an instant.

This time xQc suffered badly. The female ghost twitched as it charged head-on, and its terrifying appearance from head to toe was seen clearly.

Even after taking off the headset, xQc still hadn't recovered. He clutched his pounding heart and kept breathing heavily, not saying a word for a long time.

It took him a full five minutes or so before the fear in his heart slowly began to fade.

"Cha-chat. What the hell happened?!" Even the usually mild-mannered xQc couldn't keep his cool anymore.

His face full of fear, he shouted.

"Why did that female ghost charge over? Fuck, I felt like I almost died inside this game!!"

"Heart goes out to xQc. That scene just now was really intense!!!"

"What's going on? I remember when Jenny ran into this female ghost, it didn't go berserk and charge at her!!!"

"Yeah, xQc clearly got through this part safely!!"

"So why did the female ghost charge straight into xQc's face?"

"Could it be that the female ghost thought xQc was too ugly?"

 ↳ "xQc is quite handsome tho."

 ↳ "Nigga, you gay."

 ↳ "Nigga, you gay. (2)"

↳ "Nigga, you gay. (3)

 ↳ "Nigga, you gay. (4)"

↳ "My name is Jeff."
