Ma Feng's shaking fingers held the cold face lightly. Strands of hair fell on the man's eyes and lips. The realistic feeling caused his heart to skip a beat.
Blood slid down the tip of his hair and dripped on his lashes. At that moment, he felt like he was not inside a Haunted House but was forced to hide with the dead to hide from the killer.
The stench of blood permeated the air. In the silence, one could hear the sound of breathing. Ma Feng had no idea where the killer was. Perhaps the monster with bloody hands was squatting beside him.
Moving his body with difficulty, Ma Feng slowly let go of his hands. He was about to leave when someone suddenly lifted the bed frame!
The rope fell off, and the dead body that was tied under the bed fell directly on Ma Feng's face!
"Ah!"
His arms and legs were twisted into strange shapes. Blood and broken limbs intertwined with each other. This first intimate contact with an unknown body caused Ma Feng to go crazy. He pushed against the ground and used both his arms and legs to crawl out of the room, but as soon as he lifted his head, his head knocked into the headboard.
With a loud crash, the bed frame shook. Ma Feng's head was spinning. Just as he was about to fall, he was caught by someone.
"Brother Ma! Are you alright? "Xiao Sun held the bed frame with one hand and supported Ma Feng with the other. He had also been given a fright earlier.
Holding his head, Ma Feng's lips were shaking, and he could not say a word for a long time.
The fear brought by the darkness was indescribable. Being unable to see anything, even the most common things in this place could cause panic.
"Should I give up now?" Ma Feng gritted his teeth. He pulled at his hair furiously as he scanned the darkness around him. "Perhaps the Chen man is hiding in the surveillance room, watching me. He stared at my pathetic state and laughed to his heart's content. He is waiting for me to give up, waiting for me to beg him to take me away."
His fingers tightened, and Ma Feng refused to give up.
"Brother Ma, cheer up! Even though this Haunted House is very difficult, we still have a chance to escape. " Sun Xiaojun looked at Ma Feng's swollen head, and there was a trace of regret in his heart. If he had not moved to lift the bed frame, the body would not have fallen. "Brother Ma, don't give up. Life is like a cup of tea. It might be bitter for a while, but it will not last forever. "
"Are you consoling me?" Ma Feng forced a smile. "Don't worry, I am not that easily defeated."
The two of them supported each other and made their way back to the living room. However, before they could walk out of the room, the shrill meowing of cats came from the corridor again.
"Why are you here again?" Hornet's forehead was covered in sweat. He leaned against the wall and felt his way to the door of the other bedroom.
This time, he opened the door a crack. After entering, he closed the door with a backhand.
"I should be the only one in the house." Ma Feng could not care less about Xiao Sun's life or death. He squatted behind the door and covered his nose and mouth, silently waiting for the cats to disappear.
After waiting for a whole minute, the cold sweat on Ma Feng's forehead slid down the bridge of his nose to his chin. Not only did the cats' meowing not disappear, it started to appear inside the room that he was in, and the meowing grew louder and louder. It sounded like more than one cat had entered the room.
“Why？ How did they get in? "
Ma Feng felt as if he was surrounded by cats. These cats seemed to be being cruelly harmed, and their cries were shrill and terrifying.
He wanted to hide in the corner, but when he moved his feet, he realized that there was something soft under his shoes. The room appeared to be carpeted.
A bad feeling rose in his heart. Ma Feng reached out to touch the 'carpet' under his feet. The cat hair and blood had congealed together to form lumps. The whole room appeared to be filled with the bodies of these cats that had been cruelly murdered.
A chill rushed from his back to his head. Ma Feng tried his best to rub his hands against his body. He wanted to get rid of the cat hair and blood that were stuck to his fingertips.
His disgust and disgust seemed to agitate the dead cats even more. Resentment gathered in the room, and the pile of cat hair that was piled up under his feet suddenly moved.
Cats that appeared to be already dead crawled out from the pile of cat hair. Their eyes blinked in the darkness, and the wounds left behind by the villains were bleeding profusely.
Ma Feng felt his body slowly sinking. He felt like he was about to be swallowed by the bodies of these wild cats.
"Help! Help me! Xiao Sun! Help me! "
Endless darkness swallowed him whole. One dead cat after another leaped onto his body, and the cat carcasses piled on top of him.
Screaming at the top of his lungs, Ma Feng could no longer maintain his composure. Every cell in his body was screaming for help.
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open, and a pair of hands dragged Ma Feng out from the pile of cat carcasses.
"Brother Ma, why did you run into that room alone again?" Xiao Sun's tone was urgent. Ma Feng, who stood before him, looked completely different from when he first entered the room. The light in his eyes had dissipated, and there was only fear and anxiety left on his face.
"I …" Ma Feng spat out the cat hair in his mouth. He collapsed to the ground and waved his arms in the direction where Xiao Sun's voice came from. "I just found a random room."
"Then, you sure are lucky." Xiao Sun knew the secret of this room. Ying Tong's older brother, Ying Chen, lived in this room.
Ma Feng first hid in Ying Chen's bedroom, and the second time, he hid in the room where Ying Chen tortured the cats. Now, Xiao Sun did not dare allow Ma Feng to stay there anymore because the third room belonged to Ying Tong, and that room appeared to be filled with very scary mannequins.
"Brother Ma, let's go out first. This room is not safe." Xiao Sun was trying to help Ma Feng out of kindness. He wanted to use his own effort to turn the hostility between the futuristic theme park and New Century Park into a friendship.
"How about … I just give up." The more arrogant a person was, the more they would not want to lower their head. In Ma Feng's life, this was the first time he had wavered.
"It will be more dangerous to stay here!" Xiao Sun grabbed Ma Feng's hand. "If we stay where we are, we will never change. Only by moving out will we have a chance of survival."
Hearing the sincerity in Xiao Sun's words, Ma Feng bit on his lips. He was reminded of his old self who refused to admit defeat.
His body seemed to have recovered some of its energy. Ma Feng slowly climbed up from the ground. "You are right. The edge of a sword needs to be sharpened. It is painful now, but in the future, when you look back, you will realize that the pain is nothing."
"Yes." Xiao Sun nodded heavily. "The cats have stopped calling. Let's go out."
The two walked out of the room carefully. They held the wall as they moved slowly.
"This room is too dangerous. I hope we will never come back here again." At the end of the day, Ma Feng was someone who had done great things. Even though he was currently in a very sorry state, covered in cat fur, he managed to adjust his mentality very quickly.
"I also do not wish to come back here again." Xiao Sun and Ma Feng walked to the stairs. The two of them walked side by side. One held the banister, and the other held the wall. They walked down the stairs side by side.
"Slow down. I can't keep up." Ma Feng walked very slowly, but Xiao Sun ran very fast like the darkness did not affect him at all.
"The stairs are the most dangerous place. There are no rooms for us to hide in, so we need to move faster. Be careful of being surrounded by ghosts …" Before Xiao Sun could finish, the cats' meowing echoed down the corridor on the upper floor like they had rehearsed this beforehand.
"Has your mouth been blessed?" Ma Feng's mentality that had just adjusted was about to crumble again. He gripped the banister. He did not dare to move up, but he did not dare to run down either. He was alone and helpless. Like a chameleon, he crawled on the railing and the stairs.
"Don't stay here! Let's go! " Xiao Sun held Ma Feng as they walked down the stairs. He was not in that much of a hurry, but soon, it appeared to rain down the stairs. Sticky blood dripped down from the roof, and a presence of terror and despair came from the bottom of the stairs.
"Sister Raincoat?!" If they ran into other ghosts, they would at most be given a scare, but if they ran into the woman in the red raincoat, Xiao Sun had no idea what would happen. "Go! Go! Go! "
Even at that moment, Xiao Sun was still very loyal. He knew that it was not safe to leave Ma Feng alone on the stairs, so he wanted to take Ma Feng with him.
However, the problem was that he had just dragged Ma Feng down the stairs, and now the woman in the red raincoat was running up the stairs. He changed his direction again, wanting to drag Ma Feng up the stairs.
Unable to see anything, Ma Feng had no idea what Xiao Sun was trying to do. His body was twisted, and his left foot stepped on his right foot. He fell on the stairs and tumbled down the staircase. He rolled down the staircase at an angle.
"Brother Ma?" Xiao Sun shielded Ma Feng's head. Seeing the woman in the red raincoat coming toward him, he had no choice but to temporarily hide. "Wait for me here!"
"I …" With his head spinning, Ma Feng collapsed on the stairs. He raised his arms to give up, but a chilling presence enveloped his body.
The chill seeped into his bones. Ma Feng could not speak. His face was green, and his hands were shaking violently.
The blood rain fell on his body. Ma Feng felt like someone was stepping on him. His body felt like it was about to fall apart.
Lying in the cold and hard staircase, surrounded by darkness and unknown ghosts, Ma Feng felt like he was about to cry. He could not control it. The pain came from the deepest part of his soul.
"I can't play this game anymore. It doesn't matter if it's embarrassing or not, but I have to leave …"
"Brother Ma? Are you okay? "After the extremely chilling presence disappeared, Xiao Sun's voice appeared again.
"I'm afraid I'm not okay anymore. Now I feel like …" Ma Feng wanted to give up, but he could not open his mouth to ask for help from Chen Ge. The man who had always been so stubborn was still unable to overcome the barrier in his heart.
"Brother Ma, actually, you are already very powerful." Xiao Sun could see Ma Feng's current state. After suffering such a heavy blow, Ma Feng was still able to communicate normally. This was out of Xiao Sun's expectation. "I've read this in a book before. The lower one is, the more one can see a person's true nature. Brother Ma, you are a very strong person."
With that reminder from Xiao Sun, Ma Feng really could not bring himself to say that he was going to give up. He nodded softly.
"Brother, you have to believe that we can escape. Sometimes, the worst result is failure. Some people wait for failure, some curse at failure, and some try their best but still fail. In this kind of environment, one's mentality is the light that shines on one's self. If you're depressed, you're depressed; if you're stubborn, you're stubborn. Brother Ma, believe in yourself. You can do this! " There was no room for them to hide in on the stairs. This was the most dangerous place. Xiao Sun wanted to lead Ma Feng away as soon as possible.
In this cold and dark world, Xiao Sun's words were like a beam of light that shone directly into Ma Feng's heart.
Paralyzed on the ground, Ma Feng could still vaguely remember the times when he was younger. His headstrong personality was actually to hide the inferiority complex in his heart. He had to put on a brave front and pretend to be weak. Only then would he be able to walk further and fly higher.
His five fingers gripped the iron handrail tightly, and Ma Feng slowly climbed up from the ground. "Setbacks are the tuition fees that one should pay for moving toward success. This small difficulty is not that big of a deal."
"Brother Ma, you're amazing!" Xiao Sun gave Ma Feng a thumbs-up even though he knew that Ma Feng would not be able to see it. "The staircase is too dangerous. Let's go to the next floor."
He successfully arrived at the next floor, and Ma Feng felt like his soul had been elevated to a higher level. When his feet landed on the flat ground again, he felt like his heart had become stronger and more resilient. "There is no difficulty that can knock me down, and all the difficulties that cannot knock me down will make me stronger."
Ma Feng's head was swollen, and his head was spinning. His body was about to fall apart. He leaned against the wall and limped forward.
"The next few floors shouldn't be that dangerous …"
"Shut up!" When Ma Feng heard Xiao Sun say that, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up. "Every time you say something, something bad will happen. Stop voicing your opinion and opinion so casually."
"Fine. Sigh, someone once told me that before. Looks like it's really my problem."
"Someone once told you that before?"
"Yes, but now it appears like I am the only one who has died in that building." Xiao Sun had accidentally blurted out the truth. When he realized that, he quickly chuckled drily. "I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously."
That one sentence from Xiao Sun sent chills down Ma Feng's spine. He silently took a few steps away from Xiao Sun.
The two had just parted when the shrill meowing of the cats echoed down the staircase again.
"No way!" Ma Feng's legs would turn to jelly whenever he heard the cats' meowing. He pretended to be very strong, but his heart was still very fragile.
"Don't just stand there! Find a place to hide! " Xiao Sun kept urging him. Ma Feng groped around the walls of the corridor, and suddenly, his arm came into contact with something that looked like a cupboard.
He did not give much thought to why a cupboard would appear in the corridor. He opened the cupboard door and hid inside it before the cats' meowing arrived.
Closing the cupboard door, Ma Feng hugged the broom and mop inside the cupboard, and he held his breath.
The shrill meowing of the cats and the heavy footsteps appeared at the same time. They were heading toward Ma Feng.
As they got closer, Ma Feng bit on his own hand. His face was twisted from extreme nervousness.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, don't come any closer …"
He kept praying in his heart. Perhaps the prayer was effective, because the cats' meowing slowly faded away.
Ma Feng's heart dropped back into his stomach, but just as he was about to sigh in relief, the strange and heavy footsteps did not disappear together with the cats' meowing. They walked away for a long time before they turned back and finally stopped at the door of the cupboard.
The footsteps disappeared. Ma Feng maintained his posture, not daring to move. After a whole minute, he slowly reached out his hand to push the cupboard door open.
But before he could touch the cupboard door, there was a loud bang!
The cupboard door was pushed open, and a cold draft rushed in. The pungent smell of blood poured into the cupboard.
Ma Feng's body retreated subconsciously, and he slammed into the wooden board behind the cupboard.
The broom and mop fell to the ground. Ma Feng curled his body into a ball. He felt like a mountain of flesh had stopped before him, and it felt like he would be flattened at any moment.
The pressure caused him to feel like he was deprived of oxygen. The already hopeless and dark world started to spin, and his consciousness finally reached its limit.
"Is it finally going to end?" At that moment, Ma Feng felt like he was about to be liberated. He stopped resisting and closed his eyes peacefully.
"Brother Ma! Brother Ma! "
Xiao Sun's gong-like voice echoed in his ears. Ma Feng felt like he was being strangled. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again.
"You scared me. I thought you had fainted." Xiao Sun pulled on Ma Feng's arm. "Brother Ma, the corridor is not safe. We cannot stay here for too long."
"Xiao Sun, Brother Sun, please put me down first. I beg you … I beg you!"
