Chapter 41

"Oh my god! When did this damn rope come down!"

Wang Ziwen was startled by Leng Buding. She held the hanging rope with her hand and pulled it down hard, but the rope was tied very firmly and was tightly connected to the ceiling, making it impossible to pull it down.

"Forget it, stop dragging me. If you break the prop, you have to pay for it."

Strangely enough, after being pulled by Wang Ziwen like this, the hanging rope stopped moving. It maintained this height, swaying in a small arc, with the same amplitude as when they first entered the room.

Seeing that the hanging rope was no longer hanging down, Wang Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the furry feeling just now was completely gone, so she said it was a mechanism controlled by the staff. No, when she pulled hard, the staff was afraid that she would break the props, so it was not a moth.

"Xiaojing, I said you don't need to be afraid. No matter how scary you are, it's still a lie." Wang Ziwen took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Xu Xiaojing: "Wipe your tears. We're going to play in a haunted house later. Why don't you act like this?" Don’t cry in fear.”

"Strange, why is this girl okay? Could it be that the way to survive in this game is courage. If you are not afraid of ghosts, you will not die?" Su Yize muttered in his heart. He poked Bai Yan next to him and asked in a low voice: "what do you think?"

"I think this is an escape room. It shouldn't be included in the category of a haunted house, so ghosts can't kill people." Bai Yan opened a box and answered while flipping through it: "It should have been the prompt given to us by the game just now. Enter the secret room." Nothing unusual happened, and the ghost never appeared before. Maybe it was something we did that caused the danger just now. "

"We didn't do anything. We just looked through things and read the suicide note..." The more Su Yize thought about it, the more confused he became. He really couldn't imagine how any of this could be related to the haunted house.

"Do you think we shouldn't buy tickets for the secret room? What if this is a dead end?" Su Yize couldn't help but said: "The female boss originally planned to close the haunted house, but it turns out that the haunted house is open, so we don't have the eyesight to play. , after reading her suicide note, will it be a curse and everyone who reads it will die? "

"It's a dead end and there's nothing we can do about it. There's no point regretting it after we've already entered it." Bai Yan said lightly: "We'd better find the key first. Although it's not a haunted house, ghosts shouldn't kill people now, but they will in a while. Not necessarily."

While talking, a clear crawling sound came from the bed.

All four people clearly heard a moving object crawling under the bed, accompanied by the rustling of clothing.

Soon, the friction and crawling of clothes stopped, and a harsh scratching sound came, as if there was someone hiding under the bed, scratching the bed board with his fingertips.

"There is movement under the bed!" Xu Xiaojing turned around and asked, "Wenwen, did you hear it?"

"I heard it too." Wang Ziwen looked at the bottom of the bed, her eyes full of eagerness: "I thought that after we dragged the plastic female ghost out, there would be nothing under the bed, but I didn't expect that there were props hidden inside. Let’s go take a look.”

Seeing that Wang Ziwen was about to seek death again, in line with the principle that NPCs should also cherish their use, Bai Yan reminded him: "I think there was something wrong with the hanging rope just now. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this secret room. We'd better find the key and get out quickly. Don't do it." It’s superfluous.”

"Yes, yes, people have died in this secret room. Even fly eggs from the dead people appeared on the mattress. There may be a ghost." Su Yize also advised: "The hanging rope just now didn't scare you. "Why are you, a girl, so brave?"

"It's not that I'm brave, it's that you are too timid." Wang Ziwen said nonchalantly: "My bestie is timid, please stop creating an atmosphere of panic to scare her. I really don't believe it today!"

Wang Ziwen said, quickly walked to the bed and lifted up the hanging sheets.

However, there was nothing under the bed.

Wang Ziwen didn't believe this evil, she thought the trap must be on the bed board. So, she turned on the flashlight, knelt down on one knee and tilted her head to look at the bed board. The brown bed board was flat and had nothing stuck to it. She looked around the bottom of the bed completely, and found no traps anywhere.

"It's weird, it can't be possible."

Wang Ziwen called Xu Xiaojing, handed her the phone to look at, and wanted to lean in to find the trap. Fortunately, Bai Yan finally found the key in the crack behind the desk and opened the secret room door.

"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, congratulations on passing the level."

As soon as he opened the door, Bai Yan heard the congratulations of the guide lady.

The guide lady stood very close to the door, smiling half-heartedly, as if she had been waiting for them at the door.

The door has been opened, and the staff is standing outside. No matter how shameless Wang Ziwen is, she is embarrassed to lift the bed board in front of the staff.

She climbed up from the ground, took the phone from Xu Xiaojing's hand, and walked out of the secret room with everyone as if nothing had happened.

After leaving the secret room, the guide lady led everyone through a dim passage, but this time she did not let them blindfold their eyes.

"Okay, the haunted house is ahead. Before entering the haunted house, I have something to explain to everyone."

The guide lady clapped her hands and saw that everyone's attention was focused on herself, then she said with a smile: "First of all, under no circumstances should anyone beat the staff who are pretending to be ghosts. It is not easy for the staff of the haunted house. I hope Please be polite and don’t do anything.”

The two girls nodded in understanding. It was not uncommon for tourists to beat up haunted house workers out of fear, but naturally they would not do this.

Bai Yan and Su Yize also thought this was normal, so they patiently continued to listen to what the guide said.

"Secondly, the passage in the haunted house is very narrow. For your gaming experience, please stand in a row vertically. You can arrange the order by yourself. It will be difficult to change it when you go in later."

After the guide said this, Xu Xiaojing was the first to say, "I don't want to stand first or last!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Yan and Su Yize hesitate again: "Guide sister, can I ask, will you take us to play together?"

"Yes, I will stand in the front to lead the way for everyone. If you are scared, I can hold your hand. It's okay." The guide smiled.

Looking at the kind face of the guide, Xu Xiaojing made a new decision. She was not familiar with the two men behind her. If she let them follow behind her, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if she was scared and cried again?

And if she was the first, there would be a kind guide sister holding her hand in front, and her best friend would protect her from behind. This was the most reassuring way for her.

So, Xu Xiaojing said embarrassedly: "I'll be the first one, Wenwen, can you be the last one? I'm a little timid, so I think it should be okay?"

She looked at Wang Ziwen and Bai Yan for advice, and no one had any objections.

The order of the two girls was determined, and the remaining two players were left.

According to the order of entering the secret room, Bai Yan took the lead and consciously stood in the third place.

Seeing this, Su Yize's face was not good. He patted Bai Yan's shoulder and whispered: "Brother, let's change positions."

"Why, didn't we stand like this last time?" Bai Yan pretended not to know.

"Brother... Actually, I'm also very timid. I'm afraid to stand at the last one." Su Yize admitted his fear and said: "Let's change positions. If it doesn't work, we'll change back when we enter the haunted house."

"Sorry, I'm also very scared. Let's stand like this." Bai Yan laughed and refused. The guide lady just said that it was not easy to change positions after entering the haunted house, and standing at the last one was the most risky. Why should he change?

Being rejected by Bai Yan without hesitation, Su Yize's eyes flashed with a haze. However, he knew that if he were Bai Yan, he would never easily change seats with others, so he could not say anything. He could only hold his breath and stand in the fourth place depressed.

"Your seats are all arranged, so shall we go in now?"

"Wait, Miss Guide, do you know the name of the owner of the haunted house?" Bai Yan suddenly asked.

"Why are you asking this?" The Miss Guide was surprised, but still answered: "The boss's surname is Du, is there any problem?"

"No more." Bai Yan shook his head. The owner of the haunted house has the same surname as the female boss who committed suicide. He should be the younger brother mentioned by Du Zhaodi.

After confirming that all tourists were ready, the Miss Guide took the hand of Xu Xiaojing standing behind her and led a group of people behind her into the haunted house.

Following the flow of people, after a few steps, Su Yize couldn't help but look back and found that the entrance door was gone.

Entering the haunted house will definitely be dangerous. They all knew this. Seeing that Bai Yan didn't look back, he decided not to tell him this first.

The haunted house was very narrow and everyone was very close. Bai Yan could even smell the shampoo fragrance on Wang Ziwen's head.

After walking about ten steps, the light became dimmer and the gloomy music above was even a few decibels higher than that in the secret room. Every note was so distorted that it made people frown.

Bai Yan and Su Yize walked behind, keeping their eyes on the people in front of them to prevent anyone from being replaced by a ghost.

At the same time, they also paid attention to not touching the walls around them and walked carefully.

"Roar--"

A ghost scream came, and a staff member with a black cloth on his head suddenly jumped out, and Xu Xiaojing's tears flowed on the spot.

"Ah, ghost!!! I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore!"

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojing, this is all fake!" Wang Ziwen held her hand and comforted her quickly. The guide lady looked calm, as if she was accustomed to this situation.

"Uh, roar, roar--"

The staff was still shouting. Seeing the tourists crying on the spot, he felt very accomplished, so he twisted his waist and shouted more vigorously.

"I don't want to play, I don't want to play anymore..."

Xu Xiaojing cried and shook her head, but the guide took her hand, comforted her casually, and firmly pulled her forward.

After walking a few steps, another person covered with a layer of black cloth and a ghost mask on his face jumped out from the corner to scare people. Just like the previous time, Xu Xiaojing cried again, and tears flowed down like they were free, which made people feel pitiful.

After walking for a while, several ghosts jumped out during the period. Every time Xu Xiaojing cried and cried miserably, and Bai Yan also carefully observed every ghost that jumped out, but he felt that they were all humans pretending to be ghosts, and the masks on their faces were very fake, which did not give him the feeling that the ghosts in the previous games gave him.

What's going on?

Is this game so simple that it can be passed casually?

Bai Yan didn't think the game would be so kind.

Xu Xiaojing cried all the way, and the guide kept coaxing her forward in a gentle voice.

However, halfway through the walk, Xu Xiaojing was so frightened by the ghosts that kept jumping out that she couldn't bear it any more. She suddenly broke away from the guide's hand, squatted on the ground with her head in her hands and cried bitterly, "I don't want to play anymore, please don't let them scare me anymore! I give up, isn't it okay for me to give up!"
