The cold wind blew through the corridor, and the blank papers fluttered. There was no one in the classrooms on either side of the corridor, but there was a strange sound coming from them.
Kong Xiangming and Yang Cheng searched the rooms on both sides. They used only three minutes to reach the end of the corridor, and they met up at the door of the last classroom.
"The boss has changed the location of the nametags again." Yang Cheng's expression was not so good. "How many have you found?"
"None," Wei Wu answered honestly. His and Kong Xiangming's goal was not to find the nametags.
"You think you're in the right when you haven't found anything?" Wang Yan was an impatient person. "Ol 'Yang, I don't think we should bring other people. They'll just be a burden."
"There's a process of getting used to this place. The layout is complicated, and the boss has studied psychology. The hiding places are very tricky, so it's normal that we can't find them." Yang Chen vaguely felt that these two were a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "There are at least three nametags hidden in this classroom. Everyone, don't split up. Let's go in together and finish this quickly!"
Pushing open the door of the last classroom, Yang Cheng was the first to rush in. "Don't waste time. The seniors have specifically told us to be quick! The longer we stay, the scarier it will be! "
The three medical students cooperated well, and each of them guarded an area. They lowered their heads to avoid eye contact with the mannequins and did not touch them. When they saw the nametags, they reached out to grab them. Their movements were quick and accurate, and it was clear that they had practiced this many times.
Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming did not enter the classroom. They stood outside the door and looked at the mannequins in different postures.
"I think I see the souls of living people in those mannequins." Kong Xiangming squeezed the sentence out through his teeth. His voice was so soft that only Wei Wu could hear him.
"Treating living people as toys, and they can't rest in peace even after death. What an evil person." Fear flashed across Wei Wu's eyes. "Do you think those mannequins are the people who have offended him before?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. There are many mannequins, and I suspect that a large portion of them are innocent people who don't know what's going on. They might even be tourists." Kong Xiangming took in a light breath. "So many people go missing in the city every year. Perhaps some of them have been turned into mannequins inside the Haunted House. This time, the target is crueler than we thought. We have to be careful."
After listening to Kong Xiangming's words, Wei Wu shrank back and looked at the students with a trace of pity in his eyes.
How could the tourists know that the dolls that were scaring them might be the tourists who had disappeared?
"Come in and help! What are you doing outside? " Wang Yan finished searching the area that he was responsible for. When he saw Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming still standing outside, anger rose in his heart, and his tone became harsher.
"Stop talking." Yang Cheng stopped Wang Yan. The three searched the classroom for a long time, but they only found two nametags.
"The situation has changed. We need to move faster." Yang Cheng walked out of the classroom with the nametags. When she passed Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming, she felt that there was something wrong with these two. "Guys, since you have agreed to cooperate, then show some sincerity."
"Don't count on them. We'd better go look for them ourselves." Wang Yan did not mince his words. He and Lee Xue followed behind him, and the three students rushed into the toilet next to the classroom.
Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming did not follow. They looked at each other.
"These three students are quite interesting. Should we try to turn them into dolls?" Blood vessels appeared on Wei Wu's neck, and they were bright in color.
Kong Xiangming shook his head. "Be careful not to attract the attention of the target."
Inside the toilet, Yang Cheng opened the cubicles one by one. She found another nametags stuck between the fifth cubicle and the wall.
Looking at the eyes that were filled with paint, Yang Cheng shivered. "This Haunted House sure is crazy."
"Ol 'Yang, there's something weird about the two visitors outside." Lee Xue was the only girl among the three. She was not that old, but she had all the advantages of a female forensic doctor. She was bold but careful, and she had sharp observation skills.
"I can see that as well." Ol 'Yang signaled for Lee Xue to lower her voice. "The two are too calm. They are facing an unknown scenario, but they don't seem to care. They seem to be very familiar with this environment."
"The ugly one often looks like he's in deep thought like he's plotting something." Lee Xue nodded in agreement. "I suspect they are visitors. Do you think they are also Haunted House workers?"
Yang Cheng and Wang Yan were stunned by what Lee Xue said. A chill crawled up their spines.
"That's possible!"
"I've heard from He San that the boss of the Haunted House is capable of anything. One time, he mixed in with the visitors, and when the seven of them entered the Haunted House, they realized there were eight of them when they took a picture …"
"No wonder they didn't look afraid, but they couldn't find a nametags."
The more the three students discussed, the scarier they felt. "Thankfully, we noticed this beforehand. If we were tricked at the crucial moment, not only would all our efforts have been wasted, we would have peed our pants."
"This Haunted House has reached a stage of madness to scare people! There is no humanity at all! "
Yang Cheng took out her notebook and pen. She added one more rule to the three taboos — Do not trust strangers!
"Even the cunning fox is no match for a good hunter. Since we've guessed their identity, we're one step closer to success!" Yang Chen was very good at boosting morale. "We'll pretend that we didn't notice them and be mentally prepared. Then, we'll cooperate with their performance. When they bare their fangs, we'll expose their identities. I'm sure their expressions will be very interesting!"
"That's right. We just need to focus on collecting nametags. That way, one, we can lower their guard, and two, we won't be too embarrassed even if we're wrong."
"We have to guess the identity of a Haunted House. Before this, I thought the 200,000 reward for clearing all the scenarios was just a gimmick, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that 200,000 is too little."
"Alright, there's a time limit. If we stay here for too long, we'll arouse their suspicion." Yang Cheng waved at the two. "In a bit, we'll try to find that couple. They're still angry, so we can use them to attract the attention of these two actors."
After the three medical students finished their discussion, they walked out from the bathroom.
They stopped at the first junction at Mu Yang High School. After a moment's hesitation, they walked down the path that led to the deep well.
…
Chen Ge entered the staff breakroom and carried the recorder with him. Then, he dragged Gu Feiyu to the entrance of the underground scenario.
With Gu Feiyu's pleading, he did not force the man to follow him into the underground scenario.
"Xiao Gu, after I go down, I need you to go to the scenario next door and push the large props out onto the wooden planks." Chen Ge inspected the props he had on him and walked into the underground scenario. "You stay by the side. I won't call you. No matter what happens down there, do not move the props."
