Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 84 : The Big Pit Lillian Left Behind

"Xifeng, let me complete the task, okay?"

"Not okay." Xifeng's face was expressionless, as if the words "no mercy" were written on it.

"Those are items you worked so hard to draw. I can't bear to let them disappear." Water seemed to shimmer in her azure eyes as Bei Yaoyue showed a very distressed expression.

"No."

"It'll be quick, only taking twenty minutes of your time."

"......Get lost!" Blue veins bulged on Xifeng's forehead. What do you mean only taking twenty minutes!?

"I promise to finish the battle in twenty minutes, absolutely not a second more." Bei Yaoyue said with complete seriousness.

"No! When I say no, I mean no!"

Without leaving any face, Xifeng slammed the door shut with a roar, shutting the disappointed Bei Yaoyue outside the bedroom door, not forgetting to curse: "Dead pervert, stay away from me!"

What a joke—how could she possibly agree to let Bei Yaoyue toy with her? Wasn't this absurd?

As long as Xifeng's brain was normal, she couldn't possibly agree to such an utterly unreasonable request.

If Bei Yaoyue begged her to toy with herself, then she might consider it.

Sitting down at the computer, Xifeng prepared for today's stream. She had already been a pigeon for two straight days and absolutely couldn't randomly be a pigeon anymore, or she'd probably never get recommended again in this lifetime.

Today's streaming plan wasn't the usual FF14, but the TPS game "Resident Evil 3 Remake" released at the beginning of this year, strongly recommended by many fans—a rehashed work by Capcom.

When fans first asked Xifeng to stream RE3:Re, she actually refused, but then she thought that streaming the same game all the time would easily cause aesthetic fatigue. Perhaps it was time to change things up.

Plus, Xifeng was also an old fan of the Resident Evil series. Starting from RE5, she would immediately get each new release, but she had uniquely missed RE3:Re.

This was because when RE3:Re was released in the first half of this year, Xifeng was just graduating from her senior year, with various procedures to handle and a graduation project weighing on her. She really couldn't spare time to play games, so she thought she'd put it aside and play it later.

But after putting it aside, once the new game's popularity died down, Xifeng forgot about this game. It was only after yesterday's fan reminder that she remembered she still hadn't played RE3:Re, so she agreed, taking this opportunity to resolve a regret.

Opening the streaming room, Xifeng was surprised to find that although she hadn't started streaming yet, hundreds of people were already waiting in the stream room. Perhaps because she had been a pigeon for two days, the audience's viewing enthusiasm was higher than usual.

Looking at it this way, occasional pigeon behavior seemed beneficial instead?

After adjusting all equipment, Xifeng cleared her throat and said in a voice sweet as if containing honey: "Good evening, little brothers and sisters."

Because Xifeng deliberately used some falsetto techniques, her voice sounded more childlike, which could make her voice sound less like a girl's and more like a child whose voice hadn't fully developed yet.

This was also a change she made to match her persona—a crossdresser who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old on the outside. After all, if her voice sounded completely like a girl's, it would feel like something was missing.

"Good evening."

"Such a cute voice wwwwwww"

"awsl"

"Awei come out and die"

As soon as Xifeng finished speaking, the bullet comments immediately turned into Awei's mass grave, making her sigh that loli voices were really effective, and the online perverts were really real.

Chatting with the bullet comments, Xifeng opened Steam and launched RE3:Re.

"Hope the streamer won't be scared to tears."

Glancing at the backend, a particularly eye-catching bullet comment caught Xifeng's attention. She read the comment aloud as if conducting a public execution, then said disdainfully: "The RE series wants to scare me to tears? You're really underestimating me. I'm not bragging, but forget the RE series—even pure horror games are no big deal to me. I played Silent Hill 5 and Outlast 2 alone with lights off at three or four in the morning."

This really wasn't Xifeng bragging but the honest truth. She had played plenty of horror games before and was rarely frightened by them.

Of course, her playing alone with lights off at three or four in the morning wasn't to increase the horror atmosphere or anything—she often stayed up late gaming until very late, so she simply turned off the lights and lay in bed under covers to play.

When she got tired of playing, she could just close the game and fall asleep immediately—relaxed and comfortable.

"Starting to brag."

"Bragging streamer, followed."

"Look, there's a cow flying."

Seeing the bullet comments seemingly not believing her words at all, Xifeng snorted coldly and said: "Don't believe me? Then I'll put it this way—if this broken game can make me scream, I'll call you all daddy on the spot."

Back when Xifeng played Outlast 2 and got axed in a certain area, she didn't even frown. A mere RE series wanted to scare her?

But when the game reached the title screen, that eerie BGM made Xifeng's heart tighten slightly, and an inexplicable panic crept up on her.

Xifeng quickly shook her head, treating it as an illusion and shaking it out of her mind.

But as the game plot gradually deepened, Xifeng increasingly felt something was wrong. Why was her heart beating so fast? As if... she was afraid of something.

Impossible, right? How could this level possibly make her feel fear?

It was an illusion... definitely an illusion.

Constantly comforting herself, Xifeng suppressed the unease in her heart and controlled the gray-visioned protagonist Jill to go wash her hands at the sink.

Suddenly, the art style changed. Jill looked at herself in the mirror in surprise as she slowly rotted, gradually transforming from a beautiful girl into a zombie. The screen became dark and blurry, occasionally flashing red light, with only Jill's painful gasping and moaning in her ears.

This wasn't a very impactful horror scene—far from most horror games—but it made all of Xifeng's hair stand on end, her spine go cold, as if someone was blowing cold wind behind her.

It was at this moment that Xifeng finally understood a reality she had to admit: she was definitely much more timid than her former self!

This was Lillian's doing again!

Xifeng only remembered requesting to be afraid of thunder, but had never mentioned anything about being timid!?

Could it be that her thunder phobia setting was achieved by Lillian making her timid!?

If so... that operation was too magical!

With cold sweat on her back, Xifeng already wanted to retreat, but thinking that thousands of eyes were staring at her right now, and she had just boasted like that, she felt she had no way to back down. She could only suppress the fear in her heart and continue playing with gritted teeth.

Fortunately, the RE series wasn't a game that sold itself on horror. Although the atmosphere was oppressive, there weren't many jump scares, so Xifeng's emotions remained relatively stable, just feeling somewhat creeped out inside.

"Ring ring ring ring..."

The phone on the desk rang. Xifeng controlled Jill to answer it.

"Jill, are you okay?"

"Brad? Is that you?"

"Listen! You need to get out of there fast!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I don't have time to explain. You need to leave there, now!"

"Okay, let me just get my..."

Xifeng was concentrating on reading the character dialogue when suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was abruptly shattered. An iron fist smashed through the wall from outside, sending Jill flying against the wall.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!"

The sudden shock made the completely unprepared Xifeng lose control and let out a sharp scream.
