Chapter 18 - Burying the Blood Clan Queen—Literally!

[Holy crap—what kind of plot development is this?!]

[I seriously didn't expect this. I really didn't. The Blood Clan Queen actually chose to get into the coffin during the safety period.]

[I guarantee Lin Yu is completely panicking right now. Like—panic at maximum level.]

[Hahahaha, I'm dying. Lin Yu's mind right now probably has ten thousand alpacas stampeding through it.]

[Look on the bright side—Lin Yu is at least the first player to ever sleep with the Blood Clan Queen. No matter how you look at it, he's not losing out.]

[I don't know why, but the scene on screen suddenly feels… weirdly ship-worthy.]

[One guy gets dragged out of a coffin and killed, another ends up sleeping in the same coffin as the Blood Clan Queen. Life really isn't fair.]

...

Watching what was happening on screen, the livestream audience froze for a moment—

Then burst out laughing.

No matter how wild their imagination had been, none of them had expected things to develop like this.

If they hadn't accidentally wandered into Lin Yu's livestream, they never would've learned that during the safety period, the Blood Clan Queen would actually enter a coffin to rest.

And for some reason—

Seeing Lin Yu's utterly helpless expression just made it even funnier.

...

"Damn this stupid horror game…"

Looking at the Blood Clan Queen lying inside the coffin, Lin Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Right now, he was being forced to share a bed with the Blood Clan Queen—

No, correction—

To share a coffin.

Thankfully, the coffin was fairly spacious, so there was still some distance between him and her.

After entering the coffin, the Blood Clan Queen seemed to fall asleep.

The blood-red glow in her eyes faded away.

That at least let Lin Yu breathe a small sigh of relief.

Otherwise—

If she suddenly turned her head and glanced at him, the two of them locking eyes inside a coffin…

Just imagining it made his scalp tingle with embarrassment.

Lin Yu carefully estimated the remaining space inside the coffin, wondering whether he could push the lid open and escape without touching her.

After all—

Being trapped in a coffin with something this terrifying was enough to make anyone extremely uncomfortable.

After thinking it over for a while, Lin Yu finally decided—

He had to take the risk.

This was the safety period, after all. The Blood Clan Queen shouldn't be able to do anything to him.

And if he waited until the safety period ended—

And she decided to ignore their "shared sleeping arrangement" and just killed him inside the coffin—

That would be way worse.

After everything he'd been through, Lin Yu realized one thing very clearly:

He really wanted to live.

After all—

If you can live, who would willingly choose death?

Not to mention—

He still had over 16TB of resources on his computer that he hadn't even watched a third of yet. Dying now would be way too tragic.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yu stopped hesitating.

He carefully propped himself up, bracing his hands on either side of the Blood Clan Queen, then stretched out his other hand, trying to push the coffin lid.

What he didn't expect was—

The moment he lifted himself up and tried to apply force—

He realized his current posture made it impossible to push properly.

Not only did the lid not move—

Because of his awkward position, he lost balance and ended up collapsing straight onto the Blood Clan Queen.

"…The Blood Clan Queen seems a bit undernourished…"

Even though it only lasted a split second, Lin Yu immediately pushed himself back up.

But he was absolutely certain—

What his head had just bumped into was not soft at all.

That made him mutter another complaint in his heart:

This Blood Clan Queen really did seem a little malnourished.

Just as Lin Yu rolled over to the other side—

He suddenly realized the Blood Clan Queen had opened her eyes and was looking straight at him.

That instant—

Lin Yu didn't even dare breathe.

He didn't dare move.

"Welp… I'm dead for sure…"

The moment he made eye contact with her, regret flooded his heart.

He regretted acting so recklessly.

If he'd just thought a bit more carefully, maybe things wouldn't have ended up like this.

The Blood Clan Queen, now fully awake, slowly reached both hands toward him.

Her blood-red eyes were completely emotionless.

"…Uh…"

Instinctively, Lin Yu tried to dodge.

The result—

His head slammed hard into the coffin lid with a dull thud.

There was no room to resist.

The coffin was too cramped.

The Blood Clan Queen wrapped her arms around him effortlessly, pulling him into her embrace.

Just as Lin Yu thought—

This is it. I'm about to get my boxed lunch—

The Blood Clan Queen closed her eyes again.

As if nothing had happened.

"…Did she just treat me like a stuffed toy and go back to sleep?"

At this point, Lin Yu had completely lost the energy to complain.

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

As a newbie player—

He was being hugged by the most terrifying boss in the dungeon like a doll and forced to sleep together.

"F—!"

What kind of situation was this?!

He, a perfectly normal, pure-hearted young man—

Was getting taken advantage of by the Blood Clan Queen right in front of him.

If his life hadn't been on the line, he absolutely would've kicked her just to prove he wasn't someone to mess with.

"This is really bad…"

"More than half of the safety period is already gone…"

Watching the safety timer steadily tick down, Lin Yu couldn't think of any way to escape his current predicament.

The Blood Clan Queen's grip was tight.

He couldn't struggle free at all.

He didn't know exactly how she killed players—

But judging from Wang Gang's screams before he died, Lin Yu could easily imagine just how brutal her methods were.

That alone was enough to keep him completely still.

He could only let her hold him.

[Insane! I don't even know what to say anymore—call him Brother Lin from now on!]

[I've watched horror game livestreams for so long, this is the first time I've seen someone cuddling with the Blood Clan Queen.]

[Lin Yu is absolutely cracked. Even the Blood Clan Queen won't kill him—I'm seriously questioning his XP settings.]

[Look at his expression—he's definitely enjoying this. Hahahaha.]

[Even if we don't know what the Blood Clan Queen looks like, the word 'Queen' means she's female. Lin Yu is making bank!]

...

When the livestream audience realized Lin Yu had buried his face right into the Blood Clan Queen's chest—

And had thoroughly taken advantage of the situation—

Everyone was stunned.

Some viewers even began to suspect Lin Yu had done it on purpose.

But before they could recover from the shock—

Something even more unbelievable happened.

When the Blood Clan Queen opened her eyes and reached toward Lin Yu, the audience thought his death was finally imminent.

Yet instead—

She only hugged him tighter.

The two of them ended up in a posture that looked disturbingly like a couple resting together.

The scene was so ambiguous it made people uncomfortable.

At that moment—

The livestream chat completely lost its mind.

This plot development had gone far beyond anything they could've predicted.

If they weren't absolutely certain this was a livestream from the Horror Game app—

They would've suspected they'd wandered into the wrong category.

Some viewers even began to seriously wonder—

Whether the next scene would end up being something not suitable for minors.
