Chapter 42

"Beauty, don't give up. You can do it. We are already halfway there. We can leave here in another five minutes." The guide lady said seductively: "Wouldn't it be a pity to give up halfway? Don't be afraid. , I will always stand in front of you, nothing will happen."

After repeated persuasion by the guide and Wang Ziwen, Xu Xiaojing cried on the ground for half a minute, and finally nodded reluctantly and was pulled up. Bai Yan looked at the time. At this time, the countdown had decreased by 30 minutes, and it was already five and a half minutes before they entered the haunted house.

Excluding the time when Xu Xiaojing cried, half the journey to the haunted house took about five minutes. Bai Yan estimated the length of the haunted house and kept it in mind. He also didn't tell Su Yize, who seemed a bit resentful of him.

After Xu Xiaojing stood up, the group continued to walk forward.

Amidst Xu Xiaojing's cries and howls, all kinds of ghosts and monsters came out bravely. Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and there was still the final stretch before everyone could get out of the haunted house.

Strange, why is this game so easy?

Not only Bai Yan, Su Yize was also confused.

After only 36 minutes of an hour and a half, the game was about to end. After several bloody game journeys, the too simple levels made the two of them feel cold all over, and everything felt wrong.

"Beauty, come on! Hold on! Just a few more steps and we'll be out of the haunted house!"

The guide led Xu Xiaojing forward. When they were about ten steps away from the exit, a female ghost suddenly appeared in front of them.

Her hair was disheveled, but even though her face was covered by blood-stained hair, the four of them could tell her identity at a glance. She was the female ghost hanging on the beam!

Seeing her, Bai Yan felt a chill coming over him. Unlike the previous staff who could identify her true identity at a glance, the female ghost's body was translucent...

This is not a haunted house actor, but a real ghost!

In shock, Bai Yan felt Su Yize from behind bump into his back.

Bai Yan immediately turned his head. Fortunately, Su Yize behind him had fear written all over his face. He had not been dropped and was still his plastic teammate.

Slightly relieved, Bai Yan's eyes were fixed on the guide who was holding Xu Xiaojing's hand.

The ghost has finally appeared. Is it time for the guide lady to reveal her true face?

He didn't believe that this guide lady could be a normal person in this haunted house that was supposed to be full of ghosts.

However, the quarrel never happened.

The guide lady seemed not to see the female ghost in front of her. After a slight pause, she pulled Xu Xiaojing, who was pale and shaking her head, to continue walking forward.

At this time, Bai Yan and Su Yize had stopped to see what would happen if the NPCs moved forward.

However, the expected tragedy did not happen. When the guide lady approached the female ghost, the translucent female ghost suddenly disappeared.

Wang Ziwen followed the two of them and passed where the female ghost once stood. Seeing that they were all fine, Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, then continued walking forward, and they walked together to the exit of the haunted house.

"Okay, we've reached the exit. Beauty, don't be afraid anymore." The guide said with a smile: "The door to go out is quite narrow. I'll go out first. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, the guide lady stepped through the door, followed closely by Xu Xiaojing and Wang Ziwen.

When he walked out of the door, Bai Yan was still very confused. He couldn't believe that the haunted house was over like this. Could it be said that going out is the key, and as soon as you step into the door game, there will be a door-to-door kill?

He hesitantly stepped through the door, and when he walked out, he was greeted by the same darkness.

Instead of walking out of the haunted house, he returned to the entrance where they first entered the haunted house.

This is just right...

When the abnormality appeared, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief and felt extra at ease.

After experiencing a lot of weird things, Bai Yan didn't panic when he saw the scene in front of him. He turned sideways and looked behind. Su Yize also joined them with a sullen face, seeming to feel a little disappointed for not clearing the level directly.

"What's going on? Didn't we clear the level?"

Standing in the dark passage, Wang Ziwen was completely confused: "The guide is playing tricks on us. The haunted house is not over yet?"

Unlike the courageous Wang Ziwen, Xu Xiaojing was almost crushed by this scene: "I already said I wouldn't play anymore, why do I still do this! I must complain to this haunted house after I go out, they are sick!"

The two girls obviously haven't figured out the situation yet, fearing that they would recklessly trigger a dead end without knowing the truth and die pointlessly. Su Yize reminded in a deep voice: "I'm not kidding, we are really in trouble. If you don’t believe me, go and take a look, the entrance door has disappeared!”

"Are you kidding me?" Wang Ziwen obviously didn't believe it. She rushed to the door and was shocked: "How is it possible? The door is really gone! It's impossible... This must be a mechanism, the door was closed by them!"

She groped around on the wall with her hands, hoping to feel the uneven cracks in the door. Unfortunately, this was a wall with no cracks.

"Impossible, this is unscientific!"

Wang Ziwen couldn't believe what she was seeing. She clenched the pager in her hand as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "By the way, there is also a pager. I'll ask the guide, she will definitely know what is going on!"

"Beep beep—"

"Beep beep—"

The pager beeped, and after two rings the call was answered.

The signal on the tour guide's side seemed to be poor. Under Wang Ziwen's repeated questioning, she didn't speak for a long time.

From the other end of the pager, there was only an ominous chirping sound.

Just when Wang Ziwen thought the pager was broken, the guide’s voice finally came through the pager.

Unlike the gentle voice when comforting Xu Xiaojing, the guide’s voice became extremely sharp, even with a very uncomfortable chill——

“Hehehe.”

“A tourist asked me why there are only bad reviews online for our haunted house, which is so scary?”

“Because no one who has experienced the horror of the haunted house can walk out!”

There was a strange laugh from the other side of the pager. Listening to the guide’s curse-like prediction, Wang Ziwen was afraid and angry: “Do you curse tourists like this? Tell me honestly, is this part of the haunted house? In fact, the game is not over yet? I tell you, if you answer me irrelevantly again, I will complain to you when I go out! I want you to return the money!”

As if Wang Ziwen’s threat was not heard, the guide continued to talk to himself on the other end of the pager.

However, what was more terrifying than before was that the intermittent strange laugh turned into an extremely hideous grin!

"You will all stay here."

"You will all die here!"

"You are crazy!" Wang Ziwen was very frightened. She immediately turned off the pager and threw it away.

Seeing Xu Xiaojing's face full of tears and almost fainting, she smiled stiffly: "It must be fake, Xiaojing, it must be fake! This is all the routine of the haunted house game. The guide deliberately hid just to scare us!"

"This is not acting, nor is it part of the game." Bai Yan cruelly exposed: "Do you remember the hanging rope before? That room was a bit weird, so I didn't dare to say it. In fact... there is no mechanism on the hanging rope. It fell down by itself!"

"Seeing is believing, do you still want to continue to deceive yourself!"

Wang Ziwen's face turned pale after what Bai Yan said, just like her timid girlfriend.

She originally thought that these mechanisms were just hidden very cleverly, so she couldn't see anything strange. Now it seems that they may not be mechanisms at all, but really haunted!

"Wuwu...Wenwen, what should we do?" Xu Xiaojing was already scared by the fake ghost, and now she couldn't bear it anymore when she heard that it was really haunted. She kept crying and blowing her nose.

Wang Ziwen was completely panicked when she suddenly learned that there was a real ghost in the haunted house. She was brave, but she really didn't know what to do when she encountered such a supernatural thing.

The two girls who had never seen a ghost panicked. Seeing that Su Yize didn't say anything, Bai Yan stood up and said, "It's our bad luck to encounter such a thing, but no matter what, we have to get out of the haunted house first. This place is pitch black, and you can't see clearly a few steps away. Anything can happen here. Let's get out first and discuss other things. Everyone has no objection to this, right?"

"Yes! We have to get out first, and we can only settle accounts with that boss after we get out!" Hearing Bai Yan's words, Wang Ziwen seemed to have found the backbone, and gritted her teeth and said, "Wenwen, don't cry, crying now is useless, be strong, we have to get out!"

Xu Xiaojing was so scared that her legs were weak, and Wang Ziwen had no choice but to hold her and drag her forward.

The passage of the haunted house was very narrow. When two people walked side by side, they would inevitably squeeze against the wall, which seemed very crowded.

After walking a short distance, Xu Xiaojing cried and said, "Wenwen, I'm scared!"

"Xiaojing, be strong." In this environment, Wang Ziwen really didn't have the heart to comfort her bestie.

Because the two girls walked side by side, the group's speed was slower.

When they walked to one-third of the haunted house, Bai Yan passed the two girls and saw a familiar skeleton in front of them.

The skeleton prop was pale and miserable. The last time they came in, Wang Ziwen touched it with her hand, but this time the environment was weird, and even she didn't dare to do it again.

The skeleton was placed close to the wall. Wang Ziwen hesitated and asked Xu Xiaojing to stand behind her. She pulled her hand and prepared to avoid the skeleton and move forward.

However, the skeleton, which was originally just a prop, suddenly moved. Two balls of gloomy ghost fire burned in its two eye sockets. The body that was on the verge of falling apart began to shake violently, and it slowly stood up!

"Ahhhh it's moving! It's moving!"

Xu Xiaojing took two steps back in fear, causing Wang Ziwen to stumble.

Xu Xiaojing cried so hard that she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her. She could only see two dark lights. In her fear, she felt her shoulders were cold, as if someone's hand was on her shoulder.

"Who is patting my shoulder? Stop joking, okay... Please, I beg you..."

"It wasn't us, look behind you!"

Because the music in the haunted house was too loud, Bai Yan shouted from a few steps away.

"It wasn't you... who was it?"

Xu Xiaojing turned her head stiffly, and on her left shoulder, a pale ghost hand grabbed her shoulder, its nails were cold, and were drilling into her skin...
