The Liang brothers entered the stairwell directly, and the others followed closely behind. Ma Feng stayed outside the stairwell for a while to look at the missing person notice.
The name Jiang Ming sounds familiar. If I remember correctly, that is the name of Jiang Jiu's child. Is the haunted house boss trying to prank him?
There was a picture attached to the missing person notice, but Ma Feng had no recollection of the child in the picture at all.
After the group entered the stairwell, the child on the missing person notice suddenly blinked like he was waving at another 'person' that was not far away.
A short shadow appeared at the corner of the wall. A light scent of blood lingered in the air. He followed the group into the stairwell and closed the door behind him.
"Isn't this place too quiet?" In a place that was absolutely quiet, sometimes one would be spooked by their own voice. Liang Er and Liang San were very curious about how the haunted house boss managed to do this.
They were all professionals. They inspected this scenario bit by bit and realized with shock that not only was there no sound system installed in the stairwell, there was not even a surveillance camera. Other than a few low-quality light bulbs that might go out at any moment, there was not a single piece of high-tech equipment to be found in this sub-scenario.
"Didn't the internet say that this haunted house's special effects are movie-quality? With just a few light bulbs? Who are you kidding? "This time, not only Fu Bole, even Ma Feng felt that Chen Ge's haunted house did not live up to its reputation.
"Without any high-tech equipment, he was able to create movie-quality special effects. That in itself is a very scary thing." Zuo Han knew that he was telling the truth, but to others, it sounded like he was trying to find an excuse for Chen Ge's haunted house.
However, there were some impressive people among the few haunted house designers. Liang Er and Liang San blocked the stairwell with confusion written all over their faces. "The walls and handrails are all real. There is no soundproofing material and no high-tech equipment, so how did he manage to create such a strange atmosphere? There is not even an echo when we speak. It feels like our voice is eaten up by something after it leaves our lips. "
"Don't try to scare yourself. The theory behind this might be like magic. It looks magical, but after you solve the puzzle, you will realize that it is nothing more than that." Fu Bole clapped his hands. "Everyone, follow Brother Ma's instructions. We will split into three groups and start to search for the rag doll's broken body parts. Each group will be responsible for one floor, and we will proceed in the same manner for the rest of the scenarios."
After he said that, he walked to Ma Feng's side. His intention was clear — he wanted to be in the same group as Ma Feng.
"You haven't even found the mole and you're already in a hurry to split up? You won't even know how you died, "Zuo Han shook his head at Mr Wang." The three of us will stay together. Don't get involved in their business. "
The people from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine did not participate, so the other 12 people were divided into three groups.
Ma Feng, Shang Guan Qing Hong, Fu Bole, and Wei Chaochao formed one group; Xiao Sun, Liang Er, Liang San, and the middle-aged woman from Town of Amnesia formed another group; Qin Guang, Sister Snake, and the couple from Xin Hai formed another group.
The twelve of them were still in the same building, but they had split up to search different floors. The three groups were not far from each other.
Fu Bole, who felt that the haunted house was not as good as it seemed, led Ma Feng's group to the second underground floor. Sister Snake and Qin Guang's group entered the third underground floor.
Liang Er and Liang San started to search the first floor directly. Both of them were fat, tall, and muscular. Being in the same group gave them a sense of security.
"You guys go to the room on the left, and we will go to the room on the right. We will not interfere with each other's business, and do not come near us." Liang Er glanced at Zuo Han and warned.
"That is exactly what I was thinking." Zuo Han led Heshan and Mr Wang down the corridor and started to search for clues from inside to outside.
"Brother, do you really think they are haunted house actors? I don't think so. The presence that these few people have is very unique, "Liang San asked softly.
"We are here to clear the haunted house. Who cares what other people are doing? We only need to complete Director Ma's request." Liang Er stopped at the door of the first room at the corner of the corridor. There was a wooden sign hanging next to the wooden door, and on the sign was written — 'If there's anything, please pull on the rope next to the door repeatedly.'
"Instead of knocking on the door, we have to pull on the rope. Is it because they are afraid that knocking on the door will attract ghosts?" Liang Er grabbed the rope. "Earlier, the actor called Wu Jinpeng said that making noise will attract ghosts, but we have been talking along the way, and we have not seen any ghosts appear."
"This place is so quiet. Could it be that the ghosts have already appeared? But ghosts don't make any noise, so temporarily, we have no way of finding them. "Liang San's brain was very sharp.
"Whatever, let's take a look first. All the haunted house's first sub-scenario should be the simplest. There won't be anything too scary here, or else the later scenarios will not be able to provide the visitors with a sense of excitement," Liang Er said as he pulled on the rope.
Once he did that, the lights in the room were switched on.
He tried it several times, but there was nothing wrong.
"Have we been tricked?" Liang Er frowned. He grabbed the doorknob and gave it a hard push.
The old door was pushed open, but before he could take a closer look inside the room, something changed in the corridor.
There was a strange smell in the air, like the smell of rotting corpses mixed with the smell of fresh blood. For some reason, they felt like something was approaching.
"Be careful. The ghost might be coming. Don't wander off. Just follow me." Liang Er was quite a good friend. His warning was directed at Xiao Sun.
"This haunted house's first actor has disappointed me. I wonder if there will be anything new next." Liang San entered the room. The first thing he saw was the broken wine bottles that littered the ground. However, the sharp edges of the broken pieces had been ground away, probably afraid of hurting the visitors.
Lying among the broken pieces was a woman. She was covered in wounds, and other than her face and arms, her body was covered in patches.
The patches grew directly into her flesh, and it looked scary.
"An actor? Or a prop? " Liang San grabbed the woman's arm. The feeling that came from his fingertips was very different from human skin. He was about to sigh in relief when he saw the mirror hanging in the bathroom.
The mirror was facing the door, and there was a pair of strange eyes studying him in the mirror.
"Someone's here!" Liang San tossed the woman's arm away and whipped his head around.
Hearing that, the others also turned around, and they all saw a man's face poking out from the doorframe!
His face was twisted, and his body was like a pile of mud as he leaned against the door. His black eyes were filled with venom and curses.
Xiao Sun stood at the back of the group. He was the closest to the door. He was trying to recall the scares of this scenario when he heard Liang San's voice.
He turned around subconsciously, and his face almost brushed against the man's face.
His face paled even more, and Xiao Sun staggered back several steps, almost knocking into Liang Er's stomach.
"When did this thing appear?" Xiao Sun's voice was shaking. He was quite spooked.
"I don't know. I didn't hear anything. It just appeared without warning." Liang San scratched his fat chin. "This haunted house is quite something!"
"Should we share this information with the others?"
"Let's wait for a while."
Liang Er and Liang San started to study the monster outside. They realized that this mud-like man was just a mannequin, and there was no high-tech equipment installed on his body.
"Someone should have moved him here. I suspect it's the people from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine. They are on the same floor as us, and they are very close to us." Liang San glanced down the corridor. At that moment, Zuo Han's group was in the room at the end of the corridor, and they had not come out yet.
"They are the biggest suspect, but if it's not them, then we need to think about it. We also operate a haunted house, so there are things that we can learn from them." The Liang brothers' attitude was not that bad. They did not completely hate Chen Ge's haunted house.
While the two of them were talking, the middle-aged woman suddenly said, "Have you noticed something?"
"What is it?"
Liang San and Liang Er looked into the room and saw the middle-aged woman pointing at the woman on the ground.
"Her hand was not in this position earlier."
"What are you trying to say? The mannequin can move on its own? "
"No, I have a feeling there should be a hidden room inside this room. When we were distracted by the monster outside the door, they changed the woman's position." The middle-aged woman spoke very slowly. "They probably want us to feel a sense of urgency. Ghosts can move silently at any time, and they can appear beside us at any time. That should be the biggest selling point of this scenario."
"You have a point."
"That's not a bad idea, but unfortunately, his haunted house has run into us today. We're all top haunted house designers. Once he raises his butt, we know what he's going to do." Liang San's gaze moved into the room. "Let's look around the room. Perhaps there is a hidden path here."
Liang San wanted to know how Chen Ge moved the mannequin silently. He wanted to learn these things and then use them at his own haunted house.
"What's your name again? Don't just stand there and do nothing. Look around carefully. We don't have to follow the pace of the haunted house when we visit it. "Liang San glanced at Xiao Sun, who was still spacing out. He thought that Xiao Sun had been spooked.
"I think we should follow the haunted house's procedure. What if something goes wrong?" Sun Xiaojun's real thought was, If you guys do this, my already limited scripts will all go to waste.
"Didn't Mr. Chen claim that the scenario is open to the public and allows the visitors to explore it freely? Today, I'll let him know that bragging comes with a price. It's one thing to brag before the visitors, but in the eyes of us in the industry, a haunted house is just a well-designed toy. "
The two brothers started to search the room. Xiao Sun also started to look around the room. He had only worked for Chen Ge for a short period of time, so he did not know many of the employees. He did not know many of the secrets of the scenario.
Whenever he asked Chen Ge what to do, Chen Ge would tell him to be himself. Later, when he went to ask Lao Zhou for advice, Lao Zhou told him that there was no need for him to teach him.
Since both the boss and the teacher said that, Xiao Sun felt helpless.
He sighed softly and pretended to walk around the room.
The others were searching around the mannequin, but he looked through the items in the room absentmindedly. He even mumbled to himself, "When the man at the door came, he gave me quite a fright. This haunted house sure is scary."
Looking at the door with lingering fear, Xiao Sun suddenly realized that the mannequin's gaze seemed to be fixed somewhere.
"He's looking at the mirror in the bathroom?" Xiao Sun entered the bathroom and stood before the mirror. "There's a face leaning against the door, and it looks even scarier from inside the mirror."
Xiao Sun looked at it for a long time before his eyes slowly narrowed. "The man's eyes are tinged with fear, like he's afraid of something. Furthermore, his gaze isn't exactly facing the mirror — it has to be slightly lower."
Holding the bottom of the mirror, Xiao Sun slowly applied force. When the mirror moved, drops of blood slid down the surface, and a snail shell fell out from behind the mirror.
"A snail? The mannequin is afraid of a snail? Never mind, I'll stop guessing. There are spider webs on this snail's shell, so it should be from a long time ago. " Xiao Sun tossed the snail shell to the side, but at that moment, another snail shell fell out from behind the mirror.
"What's going on?" Xiao Sun grabbed the edge of the mirror out of curiosity. He wanted to remove the mirror, but as he moved, more snail shells rolled out from behind the mirror.
"What are you doing?"
"Why are there so many snail shells?"
The other people in the room noticed something was wrong, and they entered the bathroom as well. Before Xiao Sun could answer their question, they saw the closed wall next to the mirror open to reveal a door that had a bloody snail painted on it.
"A hidden path?" Xiao Sun and the Liang brothers exclaimed in unison. None of them had entered the Haunted House, and they had only taken a few steps when they discovered the hidden path inside the first room of the first sub-scenario!
Liang Er and Liang San were excited. They had finally found the hidden path inside the Haunted House. This would be of great help to them in clearing the scenario and understanding Chen Ge's tricks.
Xiao Sun was dumbfounded. He had heard from Chen Ge that there were nine hidden paths in each of the nine sub-scenarios. These nine paths could lead directly to the hidden scenario, and the rag doll's body parts were hidden inside the hidden scenario. However, the only person who knew the location of all the hidden paths was Chen Ge, and even Xiao Sun had no idea where the hidden paths were.
"Oh no, I think I've made a mistake." Xiao Sun maintained the posture of holding the mirror, and his brain was turning rapidly. He was there to cause trouble for the visitors, but he had helped them find the hidden path, and that had saved them a lot of time.
"Impressive, Xiao Sun. I did not expect you to be so meticulous. Even a few professionals like us failed to notice this trap." Liang Er patted Xiao Sun on his shoulder and pushed open the door that had a snail painted on it.
The temperature dropped again. Behind the door was a staircase that led deep underground. It was so deep that one could not see the end.
Being praised by the visitors, Xiao Sun felt bitter. Before he could figure out what to do next, he saw Liang Er and Liang San turn on the flashlight on their phones and enter the hidden path.
"Hey! Be careful! Do not move alone! " Xiao Sun wanted to buy time, but the few confident Haunted House designers did not give him the chance. Including the middle-aged woman, all three of them started to move down the hidden path.
Cold, dark, and dead, the feeling could not be described as creepy; it was beyond the scope of a game.
The hidden path looked long, but before they knew it, they had reached the end.
A pure black iron door appeared before them. The door gave off a faded smell of disinfectant, and there were black lines moving on its surface.
Everything inside the hidden path was scary, but the words written next to the iron door spoiled the atmosphere.
"What do you think is behind the door? The broken body of a rag doll? Or the Haunted House's surveillance room? "
"I believe there are Haunted House actors doing their make-up inside."
"Why don't we open it and see?"
Liang San pushed open the heavy black iron door, and a boundless black fog instantly gushed out, swallowing the lucky tourists.
When the black iron door closed again, only Sun Xiaojun was left in the hidden path.
His Adam's apple moved. Sun Xiaojun saw something behind the door, and he sat down on the stairs.
"This is bad. The three of them have not even experienced a one-star scenario before. They entered the ghost fetus' world of black fog without any mental preparation!"
This was like a patient who had a sore throat and thought it was the flu. They had just arrived at the hospital, but before they could register for a consultation, they were rushed to the crematorium by a car.
"The red high heels is trying to restore the ghost fetus' memory. She wants to become a Demon God. She definitely did not expect visitors to go to her five minutes after the game started!"
Just the thought of what might happen caused Xiao Sun's scalp to go numb. "I really did not do this on purpose! No! I need to contact Mr. Chen as soon as possible! "
