Chapter 728: The Ending of Outlast (I)

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
If the first half of Outlast was only crazy, then the second half truly turned weird.
After escaping to the courtyard inside the hospital, chilly rain poured on the main character, sending shivers to the elves who were watching from behind. They felt cold just watching it.
There was almost no light outside, and the occasional lightning flashes illuminated the flowerbed in front of the main character.
“Now, we should search the surrounding area,” Mr. Fang said on the livestream, and he soon found a key in the room on his left.
The dim lights in the distance showed that there seemed to be a door.
It looked like the exit from this endless dark abyss.
Mr. Fang ran over, opened the door, and finally got inside before seeing some lights.
However, the lights were limited to the corridors on the outside. When the main character ventured further inside, he was plunged into endless darkness again as if he was swallowed by it.
On the screen, there was nothing but darkness. Fang Qi opened the night vision mode of the video camera and felt his way in the darkness. Faintly, he saw a door on his right.
At this moment, Sala, other elves, and students of Heavenly Academy were still watching the livestream while eating potato chips or spicy sticks.
In the Yuanyang City Shop, Yue Bai, Mu Qing, and other students sat in a circle on the couches and watched it on their communication jades.
At this moment, Gu Tingyun and others walked in from the outside.
On Mr. Fang’s screen, he pushed open the door and entered.
Suddenly, through the night vision of the video camera, Fang Qi saw an extremely creepy figure floating from the depths of the corridor outside the door and coming before him in the blink of an eye!
“Ahhh-!”
The elves who were watching the livestream behind Fang Qi almost huddled together in fear.
Startled, Mu Qing’s hand shook, and she threw out her communication jade.
Gu Tingyun had just pushed the door open and entered the shop at this moment.
Thud!
A communication jade hit his head.
“…”
Mu Qing was at a loss for words.
…
When Mu Qing looked back at the screen…
“Huh? Nothing happened?”
At this moment, she saw that Mr. Fang had walked out from the corridor, climbed up a wall, and moved forward while staying close to the wall.
“Now, we will jump down. Do you hear the sounds of iron chains? Fatty is coming after us. Now, squat down and move forward close to the wall under the cover of the grass; we must not let him see us.” In the system version, everything was more real, which meant that the main character couldn’t even run in his current physical state.
“Do you hear the sounds around the corner?” Mr. Fang continued, “Not able to find us, the monster will wait for us on the only route that we can take since it knows that we must go and find that Priest Martin. Now, we’ll retreat a bit first.”
Priest Martin was the only relatively normal person whom the main character had met in Outlast. On the one hand, he stopped the main character from getting out. On the other hand, he was directing the main character to the truth step by step.
Sure enough, the audience saw the Fatty walking out from the corner.
On the screen, Mr. Fang hid in the grass and aimed his video camera at the Fatty. The fat demon-like monster looked around and didn’t see the main character.
The audience sent funny bullet comments and filled the scene.
[Hahahaha! Awesome!]
[Fatty: Where are you? I’m so afraid…]
[Mr. Fang: I’m observing you discreetly.]
[Fatty: I was sent here to chase after him, but I see no trace of him in the whole game!]
“…”
“Hahaha! The bullet comments are so funny.” The elves almost choked with laughter.
…
The main character continued to explore and finally got to the deepest spot underground through the elevator.
The elevator went down more than ten floors underground when it finally stopped.
At this moment, the gaming environment changed to a tunnel made of white rocks.
Obviously, these were rocks in the depths of the ground.
At the end of the rock tunnel, the audience saw a huge underground laboratory.
The lab in the depths of the ground wasn’t dark; the lights were on. However, there wasn’t even a single living being in it.
There were only corpses in twisted forms, making this place creepier than anywhere else.
Even with the lights on, it looked gloomy and chilly.
The elves held their breath as they watched the main character venture deeper into the lab.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past the corner of the tunnel.
Without thinking, Fang Qi controlled the main character to turn and run.
A black shadow ran after the main character at a greater speed.
Through the screen, the audience could hear the main character’s heavy breathing while he ran desperately. It felt like one touch of that shadow would bring extremely horrifying results.
The main character raced all the way back. The moment that he opened the door, he saw a fat demon-like face.
“Ahh-!” The sudden sight startled the audience.
Then, a huge hand caught the main character and threw him down heavily.
At this moment, the screen turned blurry.
Just as this demon-like fat monster was about to attack the main character again, it was suddenly pulled up into the air by an invisible force.
Then, he was viciously thrown onto the wall.
The Fatty’s body, which was hard to injure with sabers or swords, now looked defenseless. The Fatty howled and struggled while it seemed like this monster was lifted by something invisible and thrown onto the wall, ground, and ceiling like a ball.
Finally, this monster’s fat upper body was stuffed into the air duct and was chopped into pieces by the fan blades of the vent in the air duct.
It was extremely hard to imagine how the aluminum alloy vent fan, which could be easily bent by an adult’s punch, had chopped the Fatty’s iron-like body.
The monster didn’t have any ability to resist!
“My goodness!”
“What was that?!”
The elves who were watching from behind screamed.
It wasn’t that these elves had never seen ghosts before, but they had never seen any other ghosts so powerful before!
After the ghost left, the main character found the doctor who was kept alive on a breathing machine.
The answer to why the ghost didn’t kill the main character was revealed. The ghost was an entity with two consciousnesses, and one of which didn’t want to kill the main character. That was why the main character was safe in two of his encounters with the ghost even though the rest of the encounters meant certain death.
“There is a normal living being in this place…?!” The audience watched the scene incredulously.
“He takes care of me…” the doctor said, “He may think I’m his father. Do you know what this symbol represents?”
The doctor pushed his wheelchair to the strange symbol on the wall. “It warns of a nanohazard. nanoscopic machines, technology we have had for decades, but never mastered.”
“Turning the cells of human bodies into nanofactories. It’s the natural function of cells to produce molecules, but through psychosomatic direction, we engineered the precise molecules necessary. Mind over body. It was foolish and wrong to think we could control it. To use madmen to control something so strong.”
Yes, this wasn’t a ghost in the normal sense. It was a horrifying monster combined from technology and some supernatural things.
