Pei Hu staggered back several steps before he regained his balance. His face was white as a sheet.
"Are you alright? What did you see?" Wang Wenlong and Xia Meili rushed over.
"Ignore him, it's just a small disturbance. Look at how scared he is." Wang Hailong's legs were shaking, and his face was twitching, but he forced himself to be calm. "It's just a few mannequins."
Even though they were mentally prepared, when the other three arrived, they were still shocked.
The sudden appearance of more than twenty figures in the dim classroom was scary enough. The scarier thing was that they all turned their heads to look in the same direction. Some of the mannequins' necks were even turned 180 degrees, and their heads were hanging from their backs. Who could stand that?
"I was wondering why the previous scenarios weren't scary at all. So, they're waiting for their ultimate." Wang Wenlong was relatively calm. He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight.
"Wenlong, the boss said not to use the phone," Xia Meili reminded him.
"He can't see it anyway. It'll be fine." Wang Wenlong shone the light into the last classroom, and the light passed the mannequins. "They should all be mannequins. When the light shone into their eyes, none of them blinked. Wait a minute! I see the nametags — there are two of them! "
"Where?"
"They're on the mannequin's jacket!" Wang Wenlong shone the light in a certain direction, and the group turned to look.
One of the mannequins in the middle of the classroom had a nametags hanging from its collar, and the other nametags were placed on the innermost table. To obtain these two nametags, one had to walk through all the mannequins.
"The boss of this haunted house is too wicked!"
"It's fine if there's only five of us, but if we follow his rules and enter the Haunted House alone to look for the nametags, we'll be scared witless."
"That's enough. Don't look down on us." Wang Hailong paced back and forth before he felt the numbness in his calves. "There's still enough time. There must be many nametags in this classroom. We not only need to go in to look for them, but we need to flip through the room to find all of them! "
"Brother Long, please reconsider! There's no need to put your life on the line for five thousand yuan. "Pei Hu had been scared out of his wits, and his mind was in a mess.
"Is it as serious as you say? Cut the crap and come here! "Wang Hailong dragged Pei Hu to the door of the last classroom.
"Why am I the first to enter?!" Pei Hu displayed a strong desire to survive.
"I'm just afraid that you'll run away. If you're as timid as a mouse, how can you live up to your name?" Wang Hailong pushed Pei Hu into the last classroom before turning to Dou Menglu and Xia Meili. "The three of us will go in first. If there's nothing else, you two can come in."
"Okay, be careful."
"It's fine. Wenlong just looked inside. It's all fake people." Wang Hailong and Wang Wenlong also entered the classroom. The three of them stood on the podium and looked down. Immediately, their hair stood on end and their scalps went numb.
"This is too crazy. It's full of people, and there's not even a place to stand."
"Pei Hu, you're a coward. Go and get the nametag in the middle of the classroom. Wenlong, search the drawers and give me the nametag that's furthest away. " Wang Hailong was acting like a big brother. Even though Pei Hu was unwilling, he did not say anything.
"Brother Long, these mannequins look weird. Their eyes seem to be moving!" Pei Hu shrank back before he even stepped off the podium.
"Will it kill you to speak less?" Wang Hailong was also flustered by Pei Hu's words.
"It's normal to have negative emotions when looking at mannequins. The boss probably made use of the uncanny valley effect. Anything that looks like a human will trigger our instinctive disgust." Wang Wenlong came up with an explanation, but even he could not convince himself.
"Enough! Stop talking. The boss is counting down from outside. We have twenty minutes to find all the nametags. Let's not waste time. "Wang Hailong then walked off the podium and headed to the innermost corner of the classroom.
"Brother Long sure is generous." Pei Hu walked to the table in the middle hesitantly. He was rather fat, so when he walked off the podium, his stomach bumped into a mannequin that was standing next to him, and the mannequin wobbled slightly.
"The designer must have been traumatized when he was young," Pei Hu grumbled, but before he could finish, he felt someone knock into his back. "Wenlong?"
He turned to look, and Wang Wenlong was about three meters away from him.
"Who touched me?" He was stunned as he turned to look at the mannequin that was still wobbling.
The mannequin was very realistic, like a real person. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to tell it was real.
"It was this mannequin that touched me?"
Pei Hu shivered. He did not dare to stay any longer and walked to the table in the middle.
The one sitting there was a girl. Her uniform was different from the others; it was stained with blood like she had suffered something painful in the last moments of her life.
Pei Hu looked at the nametag on the girl's collar and summoned all his courage to reach out his fat hand.
His fingertip got closer and closer to the girl. Just as it was about to touch the girl's neck, the girl, who had her head turned toward the window, suddenly moved.
"What the f * ck!" Pei Hu's hand bounced back like it had been electrocuted.
"She really moved? Could it be someone in disguise? " He looked around. Wang Hailong was still at the innermost part of the classroom, and Wang Wenlong was not far from him. His friends were all there, and this gave Pei Hu some courage.
He reached out again and finally grabbed the nametag.
"I did it." Even though it was not that big of a deal, Pei Hu was still happy. However, just as he was about to pull his hand back, he realized that someone had tied a rope through the nametag and tied it around the girl's neck.
"What the f * ck! There must be some kind of poison! "He wanted to hack the boss to death. Holding the nametag, he took another step forward.
The classroom was very dark, and he could not see clearly. He took out the flashlight on his phone and bent down to get close to the girl.
Perhaps it was his imagination, but when the light from the phone shone on the girl's face, the mannequin's expression seemed to change.
Pei Hu did not notice this. He held the phone and stood behind the girl, his head lowered as he tried to untie the rope.
However, just as he was concentrating, Wang Wenlong suddenly sucked in a cold breath and said in a broken voice, "Something's not right. How come it feels like this mannequin has been following me?"
