Chapter 38

"Fifty per person, quite cheap..." Wang Ziwen seemed to be quite satisfied with the price: "I just don't know if the haunted house is scary or not. If it's still the same as the online reviews, then we won't play."

"Beauty, guaranteed to be scary. The comments online are all from a month ago, so they don't count."

The owner of the haunted house had an inside story. Seeing this, Bai Yan asked, "Why doesn't it count? The comments a month ago were also about your haunted house?"

"Well, I hadn't taken over this haunted house at that time. It was run by the previous boss. After I took over, I renovated the second secret room and the haunted house. They are much better than the original ones." After seeing a few people become interested, the boss Youshen said mysteriously: "The first secret room was left by the previous boss and I did not modify it, but the second secret room was decorated by me myself, and the theme was taken from a real event."

"Real incident?" Wang Ziwen became interested.

"Yes, and this incident is also related to the previous haunted house owner." The boss was afraid that a few people would not buy tickets, so he quickly lowered his voice and said: "Did you know? The last haunted house owner was a female owner, and she committed suicide. Listen. She was said to have a weird personality, and she cut off contact with all her relatives and friends before she died. She hanged herself in a rental house, and she still had a weird smile on her face after she died. She looked extremely scary. Later, it was her brother who came to the door and everyone found out. The news of her death was that she had been dead for a long time, her body was rotting, and the room was filled with flies and maggots, which was very scary. "

The boss sighed: "After the previous boss died, I took over this haunted house. In order to improve the playability of the secret room, I moved all the things in the room before the previous boss died into the secret room. You can play the second haunted house. "

After the boss finished speaking, Bai Yan looked up at the female ghost again. The female ghost's eyes were cold and resentful. She looked very scary, but the most eye-catching thing was that there was a weird smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be mocking everyone who stepped into it. People in the haunted house laugh that none of them can escape and everyone must die.

Could it be that this female ghost is...

Bai Yan had a guess in his mind, but on the other hand, after hearing what the boss said, Xu Xiaojing didn't want to play anymore.

"He actually consumes the dead. This boss really has no quality and no humanity."

Xu Xiaojing pulled Wang Ziwen aside and whispered to her: "Wenwen, let's stop playing. The secret room is full of things used by dead people, which sounds weird. And using dead people for fun is very disrespectful to the dead. Respect it, what if the ghost of the female boss is hidden in those items and she hates us when we go in? Isn’t that how horror novels are written? I’m a little scared..."

"Xiaojing, what are you afraid of? There are no ghosts in this world." Wang Ziwen's eyes sparkled: "It would be okay if you really died. I like excitement. But this haunted house owner is probably bragging. , how could it be such a coincidence that the last owner of the haunted house he took over hanged himself, and he was able to persuade her family to get her belongings. It sounds true and false... If you ask me, this is all deliberately made up to deceive us into buying tickets. s story!"

"Really...?" Xu Xiaojing was a little hesitant. She looked at the female ghost on the beam and felt a chill in her back.

Originally, this female ghost scared her and made her feel frightened. Now after listening to the story of the owner of the haunted house, she felt that the female ghost was even scarier. Looking at the female ghost again, she could not be the one who hanged herself. Female boss?

For a moment, the horror stories she had read before came to her mind, making her want to run out of the haunted house to avoid being 'cursed'.

However, seeing Wang Ziwen's excited face, she was embarrassed to ask again. She was the one who mentioned entering the haunted house first, and Wang Ziwen was willing to play with her. If she didn't want to play with Wang Ziwen, then she wouldn't be a good friend. .

So, Xu Xiaojing forced herself not to think about the scary things. Besides, wasn't it because she had never played in a haunted house before and wanted to experience the feeling of being scared? Being more exciting means that the money is not in vain, there are no ghosts in this world, so she should stop scaring herself.

Shaking her head to shake off the ominous premonition, Xu Xiaojing whispered: "Boss, give me two fifty-fifty tickets, and we can both play."

Seeing that the two NPC ladies had discussed it, Bai Yan followed closely and said: "Boss, this is one hundred, and we also want two fifty."

Seeing the two groups of people rushing to buy tickets, the boss felt happy and felt that his eloquence was good, and he would do the same when the next wave of guests came over.

The boss took out four tickets from the counter and handed them to the two of them respectively. He saw another ticket booking reminder on his mobile phone. The next batch of customers would be coming soon. In order to make more money, he suggested: "Handsome man, beautiful woman, do you want to come together?" Go in? Isn’t there a saying, if men and women work together, the work will not be tiring.”

"Okay, I think it's okay." Xu Xiaojing replied. She felt it was scary to play with only two people, but she felt safe when there were more people.

"We don't have any objections either." Bai Yan and the others were eager to have an NPC visit, so naturally they would not refuse.

"Okay, this is the guide of the haunted house. She will take you to the haunted house. If you have any questions, you can ask her for help. I wish you a happy time."

The boss smiled at several people and handed them over to the guide.

Seeing the guide leading them away, he murmured in a low voice: "We have fooled four fools again. The haunted house business is really difficult. We can't make a lot of money at all."

The boss opened the haunted house page and frowned at the negative reviews on it: "It's strange to say that the guests who have played in the past month have not commented, and there are no repeat customers. As a result, guests who want to play in the haunted house can only read previous reviews. They were all chased away. I might as well buy a good review package to build up my reputation and get more people to come in. "

Turning off his phone, the boss sat on a chair behind the counter and waited for the next batch of customers.

After his sister committed suicide, he took over her haunted house and made the last round of money for a down payment before the lease expired.

Later, he finally got his sister's current address with the help of a friend. It turned out that she had committed suicide. Before she died, she wrote a will on the table, planning to donate everything and not give him a penny. Keep.

In order to inherit his sister's inheritance, he quietly tore up the will on the table and threw it away so as not to get a penny.

He was not without resentment for his sister's death. When my sister died, half a million yuan was wasted. Her parents paid for her to go to school as a loser. As a result, she didn't support the family when she grew up. After she died, she was afraid that they would take advantage of her, so she had to donate everything. Go, he was angry just thinking about it, and he no longer felt sad about her death.

In his opinion, there is nothing sad about a woman whose parents paid for her education, who has a good degree, who succeeded in starting a business not long after graduation, and who made money by opening a haunted house. You can still commit suicide after living so well, just because you are full.

The boss was playing with his mobile phone and felt upset when he looked at the female ghost hanging on the beam.

This female ghost was given to me by someone I didn't know. It was said that she was a puppet maker whom my sister knew before.

This female ghost looked very realistic, so he accepted it. The reputation of the haunted house was not good, so he had to rely on this realistic female ghost to attract customers and trick people into paying money.

Anyway, once the money is in his pocket, he will not return it. This haunted house played like that. Although he really put all his sister's things into the secret room, he didn't have the brains to decorate a haunted house and it didn't look scary at all.

…

After walking out of the gate with the guide, the four of them received a black eye patch.

"Handsome beauties, please put this on your eyes, close your eyes and stand in a vertical row. I will lead you into the secret room in a while. Don't open your eyes and peek in the middle."

The guide lady smiled and asked several people to put on blindfolds. The two girls stood at the front, Bai Yan was third, and Su Yize walked at the end.

The quality of the eye masks is very good. After putting on the eye masks, the four of them could not feel the light at all, and their eyes were completely dark.

The guide asked the four of them to hold hands, and she walked at the front, leading them to turn left and right and walk through a long, silent corridor. While walking, she was still introducing the matter of the haunted house to everyone in a pleasant voice.

"The next steps of the game are as follows. When you open your eyes at the beginning, you will stand in a secret room, find the mechanism, enter the correct password, and you can enter the second secret room. There is a hidden secret in the second secret room. Once you find the key, you can clear the secret room. You can play in the two secret rooms for a total of 20 minutes. If you don't come out after 20 minutes, I will go in and help you clear the level."

"A secret room only lasts ten minutes. Can we have fun playing like this?" Wang Ziwen muttered: "It seems that the difficulty of this secret room is average."

After saying this, the guide lady closed her mouth and concentrated on leading the crowd.

It was pitch dark in front of them, and even the bright and dazzling lights of the mall could not be seen, which made both players feel a little scared.

Bai Yan wanted to take off his blindfold and take a peek, but with Wang Ziwen in front of him and Su Yize behind him, he couldn't let go.

And when he thought about the fact that he had deliberately worn the blindfold crookedly and the guide lady's half-smiling expression, he was still honest. Although everyone from the tourists to the boss has behaved normally so far, if he attempts to die and triggers a dead end, the fierce ghost will make him see what despair is.

In the deathly silence, the footsteps of everyone on the tiles were so clear. Listening to the echo of footsteps and footsteps, Su Yize couldn't help but feel a little tight in his throat.

In the darkness, his vision was deprived by the blindfold, and all his senses were infinitely amplified. He could even feel the coolness of the air passing through his skin, giving him goosebumps.

Could there be evil spirits watching them in this seemingly empty passage?

How could he be sure that it was the air that crossed his skin and not some ghost putting his hand on his arm while he couldn't see it?

Walking at the end, Su Yize couldn't help but regret a little. If he had known that he would be a coward, he would have let Bai Yan stand at the back. Standing at the front and the back of the haunted house will be the most frightening and the most dangerous. Fortunately, it was just an escape room for a while, so when it came time to actually play in the haunted house, he would switch with him.

Su Yize made up his mind in his mind.

After turning another corner and entering a door, the guide lady finally asked everyone to stop.

She asked everyone not to take off their blindfolds in a hurry, and said with a smile: "This is a pager. If you still can't find clues later, you can use this to ask me for help. I'm waiting for you outside the secret room. Come on, I wish you all the best." Have fun.”

After saying that, the guide lady came out of the secret room, and everyone heard her asking them to take off their blindfolds through the door.

Accompanied by the unclear voice of the guide lady, a burst of terrifying music that could scare people out of their wits suddenly came from above.
