Hell App - 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 you can do about it. There’s no point regretting it after you’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 and see.”
Seeing that Wang Ziwen was about to commit suicide again, in line with the principle that NPCs should also cherish their use, Bai Yan reminded: “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. 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 her, 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 passages in the haunted house are very narrow. For the sake of your gaming experience, please stand in a row vertically. You can arrange your own order. It will be difficult to change after entering.”
After the guide lady finished speaking, Xu Xiaojing was the first to say: “I don’t want to be the first or the last!”
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Yan and Su Yize hesitate again: “Sister Guide, can I ask if you will take us to play together?”
“Yes, I will stand at the front and lead everyone. Beauty, if you are afraid, I can hold your hand. It doesn’t matter.” The guide lady smiled.
Looking at the guide’s kind face, Xu Xiaojing made a new decision. She was not familiar with the two men behind her, so she asked them to follow her. Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if she was scared to tears again?
And if she was the first, she would have a kind guide sister holding her in front, and her best friend behind her to protect her. This was the most reassuring thing for her.
So, Xu Xiaojing said sheepishly: “I’ll be the first, Wenwen, can you stay behind? I’m timid, so it should be okay?”
She looked at Wang Ziwen and Bai Yan inquiringly, but no one had any objections.
The order of the two girls is determined, and the remaining two players are.
According to the order of entering the secret room, Bai Yan took the lead and consciously stood in third place.
Seeing this, Su Yize looked very unhappy. He patted Bai Yan’s shoulder and whispered, “Brother, let’s change places.”
“Why, didn’t we just stand like this last time?” Bai Yan pretended not to know.
“Brother… I’m actually quite timid. I’m afraid of being the last one.” Su Yize gave in and said, “Let’s change. If we don’t get into the haunted house, we can change back.”
“I’m sorry, I’m scared too. Let’s just stand like this.” Bai Yan refused. The guide lady just said that it is not easy to change positions after entering the haunted house, and standing at the end is the most risky. Why should he change.
Being rejected unceremoniously by Bai Yan, a hint of gloom flashed in Su Yize’s eyes. However, he knew that if he were Bai Yan, he would never change places with others easily, so he couldn’t say anything, so he could only endure this tone and stand in fourth place gloomily.
“Your positions have been arranged, so let’s go in now?”
“Wait a minute, Miss Guide, do you know the name of the owner of the haunted house?” Bai Yan suddenly asked.
“Why do you ask this?” The guide lady was surprised, but she still replied: “The boss’s surname is Du. Is there any problem?”
“No more.” Bai Yan shook his head. The owner of the haunted house had the same last name as the female owner who committed suicide. He should be the younger brother Du Zhaodi mentioned.
After confirming that all tourists were ready, the tour guide took Xu Xiaojing’s hand and led the group of people behind her into the haunted house.
Following the flow of people, Su Yize walked forward. After walking a few steps, Su Yize couldn’t help but look back and found that the entrance door was gone.
They all knew that there would be danger when entering a haunted house. Seeing that Bai Yan didn’t look back, he decided not to tell him this yet.
The haunted house is very narrow, and everyone is very close to each other. Bai Yan can even smell the fragrance of shampoo on Wang Ziwen’s head.
After walking for about ten steps, the light became darker and darker, and the gloomy music overhead was even a few decibels higher than in the secret room, and every note was distorted to the point of frowning.
Bai Yan and Su Yize walked behind, keeping an eye on the people in front of them in case anyone was tricked by the ghost.
At the same time, they were always careful not to touch the walls around them and walked carefully every step of the way.
“Roar—“
A ghostly scream was heard, and a staff member with a black cloth on his head suddenly jumped out. Xu Xiaojing’s tears flowed down on the spot.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I won’t play anymore, I won’t play anymore!”
“Xiaojing, don’t be afraid, this is all fake!” Wang Ziwen held her hand and comforted her quickly. The guide lady looked calm, as if she was used to this situation.
“Oh ho ho ho—”
The staff member was still shouting. Seeing the tourists crying on the spot, he felt very accomplished, so he twisted his waist and shouted even more vigorously.
“I won’t play, I won’t play anymore…”
Xu Xiaojing cried and shook her head, but the tour guide took her hand, comforted her a few words, and firmly pulled her forward.
After walking a few steps, another person covered with a layer of black cloth and wearing a ghost mask jumped out from the corner to scare people. Just like the previous time, Xu Xiaojing cried and shouted again, her tears dripping like she was asking for money. It flows down, which makes people feel pitiful when listening to it.
Halfway through, ghosts popped out several times. Xu Xiaojing cried and screamed miserably every time. Bai Yan also carefully observed every ghost that jumped out, but felt that they were all human beings pretending to be ghosts. The mask he wore was extremely fake, and it didn’t have the feeling that the ghosts in previous games gave him.
How is this going?
Is the game this time so simple that I can pass it casually?
Bai Yan didn’t think the game would be so kind.
Xu Xiaojing cried all the way, and the tour guide kept coaxing her to move forward with gentle words.
However, halfway through, Xu Xiaojing was frightened by ghosts that kept popping up suddenly. 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 scare them! I give up, can’t I give up!”
