"Brother Ma, if there's anything else, we can talk about it in the room next door. The corridor is really dangerous." Xiao Sun grabbed Ma Feng's arm and forcefully dragged him to the other side of the corridor.
"Don't, don't. I've thought about it for a while, and I think …" Ma Feng was dragged by Xiao Sun. He did not even have the energy to struggle.
His head was spinning, and the world was spinning. His body was aching, and his eyes were dry. He had the urge to cry.
"Brother Ma, you don't have to say anything. I understand. But we've already run to the deepest part of the Haunted House, and this might be the last scenario. Are you really willing to give up just like that? Then wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted? " Xiao Sun grabbed Ma Feng's collar. "There is no such thing as despair in this world; there are only people who have given up hope. Perhaps we are only one step away from success."
Ma Feng's lips tightened. He looked at the darkness around him numbly. Everything was hidden in the darkness — the monsters, the ghosts, the danger, and the exit.
His fingers slowly tightened, and a weak flame burned in Ma Feng's eyes.
"Those who do not believe in miracles will never be able to create miracles. The Haunted House boss also believes that no one will be able to escape from this place, but think about it, isn't the Haunted House built for people to visit? Is there really a Haunted House in this world that cannot be cleared or escaped? "
Xiao Sun's words were filled with power, and they pointed Ma Feng in the right direction.
Gritting his teeth, Ma Feng also felt that it was too much of a waste to give up now. He rubbed his dizzy head and said slowly, "Xiao Sun, let go of me first. I can walk on my own."
Leaning on the wall, Ma Feng straightened his body and slowly moved down the corridor. "There's a door every three meters. We'll stick close to the wall, and when we hear the cats, we'll hide inside the room. After we enter the room, we'll close the door. One of us will stand guard behind the door, using his back to block the door, and the other will search for the hidden path inside the room. We'll work together to maximize our advantage. "
"Okay!" Seeing Ma Feng's hope reignited, Xiao Sun even felt like crying.
It was too inspiring. In that moment, he could even see a version of himself that refused to admit defeat.
Xiao Sun firmly believed that he was just an ordinary person. In order to live a normal life, he would often read some words that were full of "power" to encourage himself.
Brother Ma, we will definitely be able to find a way out of here! "Xiao Sun and Ma Feng encouraged each other. The two of them struggled down the stairs.
Every game had a way to clear the game. Ma Feng was a very smart and powerful person. Other than his flawed personality, he was very capable.
With Xiao Sun's help, even though he had not gotten used to the darkness, he found the pattern of the monsters' movements.
After being scared five more times, he and Xiao Sun finally came to the lowest floor of the Tower of Darkness.
Along the way, Ma Feng was riddled with wounds. Other than the physical pain, his soul had also been subjected to inhumane torture.
Every time Ma Feng was on the verge of losing consciousness, Xiao Sun would wake him up immediately. The repeated calls of "Brother Ma" caused Ma Feng to lose himself in the boundary between nightmare and reality.
He held on to his last breath and persevered until now.
After entering the last room at the lowest floor of the Tower of Darkness, Ma Feng sighed in relief. Xiao Sun also sighed. "This is not easy. Even a ghost wouldn't be able to walk out of this."
"This is the last room. The hidden path should be here. Let's take a closer look." Ma Feng's voice was weak. If there was light, one would notice that his face was pale, and his lips were purple. He looked like a haunted house worker who had put on the make-up of a dead man.
The two entered the room. Just as they reached the bedroom door, they suddenly heard a man's voice coming from behind the door.
"You are the ninth person that I've killed. Let me think, what should I take from your body? Nose? Ears? Never mind, I'll just take your eyes. "
"I know you've been looking for the hidden path, but actually, the way out is hidden inside my room, inside the bedroom filled with cat carcasses."
"Are you feeling hopeless?"
"You've found the way out, but you can't escape anymore. I like to see the expression on your face now."
After the man said that, the sound of a knife slicing through something echoed inside the bedroom. Then, blood leaked out from the gap under the door. Ma Feng felt like he had stepped on something sticky under his shoes.
"The murderer is giving us a hint. The way out is hidden inside the room filled with cat carcasses!" Ma Feng's face was already twisted. The exit was inside the room that he was once hiding in, but he had followed Xiao Sun all the way to the lowest floor of the building.
Before he could catch his breath, Ma Feng almost fainted from anger. He took a step back, and his shoes made a sound when they stepped on the blood.
"Who is it!"
The man's voice came from inside the bedroom, and then the cats' meowing echoed inside the room!
Knowing that they had been discovered, Ma Feng and Xiao Sun started to run madly out the door.
"Go to the room filled with cat carcasses on the first floor!"
With the Ultimate Killer chasing after them, the whole Tower of Darkness entered its most tense and scary moment.
The meowing of the cats echoed everywhere. Xiao Sun and Ma Feng ran as fast as they could down the stairs.
Ma Feng's heart was racing. This was probably the most exciting experience of his life.
"No, I can't run anymore. I can't hold on anymore!"
"Brother Ma! Believe in yourself! "
"I really can't run anymore!"
"Don't stop! We can win this! "
Xiao Sun's voice kept coming from the front. At that moment, Ma Feng had completely lost his sense of direction. Xiao Sun's words of encouragement were the only thing that kept him moving forward in the darkness.
Chasing after Xiao Sun's voice, Ma Feng unleashed all the potential in his body. He tried his best to keep up with Xiao Sun's pace.
The murderer was right behind them, following them like a shadow. Now, the only chance they had was to leave this scenario through the hidden path.
The sense of urgency was indescribable. There was only one thought left in Ma Feng's mind — run!
His muscles memorized the height of the stairs. Even if Ma Feng did not use his eyes to look, he would not trip on the stairs every time he took a step.
"Keep it up! Do not be afraid of the darkness! When the sky darkens to a certain degree, the stars will shine brightly! "
"Humans can do it because we believe we can!"
"If you are a grass, you should be an orchid; if you are a tree, you should be a pine!"
The human's words were imbued with the power of conviction. Ma Feng, whose mind was in a trance and whose body was about to fall apart, forced himself to return to the top floor of the Spire of Darkness with Xiao Sun's encouragement.
He ran as fast as he could. All the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared. It was as if his consciousness had merged with his legs.
It was as if Ma Feng had disappeared from this world; there was only a pair of legs that kept on running in search of the exit.
Crashing through the door, Ma Feng and Xiao Sun rushed into the room that was filled with cat carcasses. The two of them rummaged through the carcasses like they had lost their minds.
The cats' meowing in the corridor became more and more shrill. The whole scenario appeared to have changed. The walls were cracking, the building was shaking, and many mouths appeared to have appeared on the ground, ready to swallow the visitors at any moment.
Various strange noises started to appear. The thing that scared Ma Feng and Xiao Sun the most was that there was a voice that sounded very similar to Chen Ge's coming from outside.
They could not hear what the voice said clearly. The two ignored it and moved the carcasses of the cats away in a frenzy.
In the endless darkness, a very faint light appeared. Ma Feng's hands moved even faster.
"I see it! I think I see it! "
The bloody and messy carcasses of the cats were moved away. Under the carpet that was piled up with death, there was a light of life!
A faint beam of light shone into the room through the gap in the hidden door. Ma Feng's eyes were wet, and tears were swirling in his eyes.
"It's light, it's light!"
He gripped the handle of the hidden door and used all his strength to pull the door open.
"Thankfully, I did not give up! All the sacrifices that I have made will be rewarded in the end! The pain that I have suffered will eventually become the gift that fate has given me! "Ma Feng gritted his teeth. He had already planned how he was going to make things difficult for Chen Ge after he left this place.
Ma Feng pushed the hidden door open, and the weak light chased away the darkness. He opened his arms like a proud flower blooming in the dark.
"There is no such thing as true despair in life. No matter how much hardship one has to endure, no matter how much suffering one has to go through, as long as there is a seed of faith in one's heart, then one day, one will be able to walk out from this predicament and allow one's life to bloom again."
The gentle words from the book echoed in Ma Feng's heart. Facing the light, he ran into the hidden tunnel, using the fastest speed that he had ever run into in his life!
Walking down the flight of stairs, a black iron door appeared before him.
After going through countless trials and tribulations, Ma Feng dragged his' wounded 'body and ran to the front of the black iron door.
"What is failure? It is nothing. It is just one step closer to success. What is success? It is to walk through all the paths that lead to failure, and there is only one path left, and that is the path to success! "
Removing the chain from the door, Ma Feng used both of his hands to push the iron door open!
"It's over! It's finally over! "
Tears that were filled with various emotions slid down the corners of his eyes. A man did not shed tears easily, but that was only because he had not been deeply hurt.
"Bang!"
The black iron door slammed into the wall, and Ma Feng saw the scene behind the door.
The surging black fog made it difficult for him to open his eyes. The tears that were moved were quickly dried by the wind.
KUANG!
His legs that had lost their strength could no longer support his body, and Ma Feng collapsed to the ground.
"Why?"
These three simple words were enough to express the complicated emotions that Ma Feng was feeling at that moment. Hope and despair collided together, and all the anticipation melted into a black fog.
Looking at the black fog before him and the flickering will-o '-the-wisps in the fog, Ma Feng's gaze slowly pulled away. It was as if his soul had left his body, and he was silently looking in a certain direction.
"Brother Ma …" Xiao Sun pressed lightly on Ma Feng's shoulder. For a Specter to materialize a physical body, they needed to exhaust their negative emotions and accumulated resentment. Therefore, most of the time, Specters were in a state where they could not be touched by living humans, but Xiao Sun felt that Brother Ma was worth consoling by materializing a physical body.
This powerful boss had reached a bottleneck in his life, and now he needed help and encouragement.
"The hidden tunnel leads to the hidden scenario, and we have discovered the source of the black fog. This means that we are very close to clearing the scenario!" Xiao Sun grabbed Ma Feng's shoulder and shook him vigorously. "You need to pull yourself together!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ma Feng's eyes had lost the darkness and calculation. Instead, his gaze was rather dull.
"Brother Ma, don't tell me something happened to you?" Xiao Sun felt like Ma Feng was in a state of mental wandering. He had hoped that through Ma Feng, he could change the prejudice that the futuristic theme park had against the Haunted House, but now, the prejudice had not been changed, and the temporary boss was going crazy.
"Brother, we've been through so much to finally leave the scenario earlier. It's such a waste to give up now. Earlier, I also hoped that the exit would be behind the door. Perhaps the boss has thought of that as well. He purposely designed this last scenario to make people break down before the exit. " Xiao Sun had no idea what he was saying. He just wanted to cheer Ma Feng up. "No matter what, we cannot stop now."
Ma Feng seemed to have consumed too much chicken soup, and now he was allergic to it. He continued to sit on the ground with a blank expression.
He wanted to faint, but he could not. He wanted to move his body, but he did not have the energy to do so. Wanting to leave was an extravagant hope. He could only sit where he was.
"Brother Ma! Do you think there is a scenario scarier than being deprived of one's sight? We just escaped from a completely dark scenario, and this building is located at the deepest part of the small town. Naturally, it is the scariest scenario. Perhaps we are only one step away from clearing this scenario. "Xiao Sun started to convince Ma Feng.
Ma Feng slowly lowered his head. His first instinct was to cover his ears. He was about to raise his hands when he suddenly realized how stupid he was to do that. "Now, the only person who can help me is Xiao Sun. Perhaps he has come to rely on me. If I collapse, he probably won't be able to hold on for long. This is the power of a team. "
His arm was grabbed by someone. Ma Feng subconsciously lifted his head to look, and Xiao Sun's honest face was reflected in his eyes.
"What's wrong with me? I don't even dare to touch the helping hand that others have extended to me? " Ma Feng hated himself for acting like this. He gathered the last bit of stubbornness in his heart, grabbed Xiao Sun's hand, and slowly stood up.
"The border between the two scenarios is the most dangerous. We will be attacked by ghosts from both scenarios at the same time. We need to leave as soon as possible." Xiao Sun also did not know where the exit was. Perhaps the exit of this scenario had not been designed yet. "Clearing this scenario is impossible. We need to find a place to hide and survive the sixty minutes of experience time."
"Sixty … sixty minutes?" Ma Feng staggered, and he almost fell again.
"We've been here for forty minutes already. We just need to hold on for a little longer." Xiao Sun looked around. He came to this conclusion based on his memory. "There are man-eating monsters hiding in the black fog. The only safe place in this world is the apartment building. As long as we hide inside the apartment building, we have a chance of surviving the rest of the time."
"I'll listen to you."
Ma Feng's mind was in a trance. It was as if his soul had been scared out of him. Just like that, he allowed Xiao Sun to drag him through the black fog.
One after another, cursed faces appeared in the black fog. The muscles on Ma Feng's face twitched, and occasionally, he would laugh uncontrollably. He looked at the scary monsters around him, and he had slowly forgotten where he was and who he was.
At that moment, his eyes were focused on Xiao Sun, who was still running. He admired Xiao Sun a lot. In his unhappy life, Xiao Sun was the first person that he felt was reliable.
Along the way, it could be said that it was a narrow escape from death. Xiao Sun finally led Ma Feng through the black fog and arrived at the apartment building.
Pushing open the door of Jin Hwa Apartments Block A, Xiao Sun led Ma Feng into the stairwell.
"I know a room that is definitely not haunted. We can rest there for a while."
Xiao Sun led Ma Feng into the room that he had once stayed in. Once he pushed open the door, he heard strange noises coming from the stairwell.
"The other neighbors are coming! Please do not speak. "
Xiao Sun pushed Ma Feng into the room. He hid at the door and observed the situation outside.
The room looked very clean and normal. Ma Feng finally sighed in relief. He sat on the ground and looked at the posters of the singers on the wall.
His eyes turned, and suddenly, Ma Feng saw a picture frame. It was a young man holding a guitar.
He had a feeling that the person in the picture looked familiar. He forced himself to crawl to the side of the table. When he grabbed the picture, a death certificate fell out from underneath the picture frame.
"Sun Xiaojun?"
An indescribable fear instantly swallowed Ma Feng, and his whole body was shaking.
