"Such a realistic setting," the man mumbled to himself. "How did he do it?"
"Who dares to open a Haunted House without some skill? Furthermore, Ye Xiaoxin gave him such a high review, which proves that this Haunted House has its merits. " The woman stood behind the yellow hair. She glanced at the three visitors and walked over to greet them warmly.
"Are the three of you here together?" The woman was good at socializing. Be it her tone or attitude, she was friendly.
"No." The tall and thin man with his hands in his pockets replied coldly. He walked forward alone.
"Be careful, this is a three-star scenario!" The woman grabbed the man's sleeve, and the man turned to glare at her, scaring her. "I'm just reminding you."
"Sister Mao, ignore people like him. When he pees his pants, he'll come looking for us." The yellow hair stood between the woman and the man.
"It's fine. Since we're in the same group, we should help each other." The woman did not seem to mind the man's rude behavior at all. She walked to stand before him. "My name is Cassie, but you can call me Sister Mao like they do."
The man thought about it and did not reject Sister Mao's kindness. "My name is Bai Qiulin. I've been in a bad mood lately, so I came to the Haunted House to relieve stress."
"I understand. Isn't a Haunted House a place like that? To relieve stress and make people scream. " Sister Mao nodded before turning to the other two visitors. "Then, how should I address you two?"
The man in the black shirt was well-dressed and friendly. "My surname is Zhou. I'm a real estate salesman. I'm here with my girlfriend today …"
"Who's your girlfriend?" The woman next to him slapped the man's arm. She did not have any makeup on, and she was very pretty.
"It's about time." Mr. Zhou winked at the woman and forcibly grabbed the woman's hand. "This is my girlfriend, Duan Yue. She's teaching English in high school. She's usually very hard and has to tutor students at night. She's free today, so I brought her here to relax."
"You two sure are a sweet couple." Sister Mao smiled, but there was a trace of disgust in her eyes, but she hid it well. "The three of you will come with us later. We can take care of each other."
"You sound very professional. Are you people who specialize in haunted houses?" Lao Zhou was curious.
"I'm a Haunted House reviewer. I have millions of fans online. These are all members of my team." Sister Mao introduced the people around her.
The man with the dyed blonde hair and earrings was called Huang Xing; the tall man was called Ma Tian; the other girl was Sister Mao's assistant, Zhang Lan; and the older man, Sister Mao didn't introduce him in detail; she just called him Brother Wong.
These people all had different personalities. The main reason they were able to stay together and have such a good relationship was because of Sister Mao.
"He really is a professional. Then we'll have to ride on his coattails today." Lao Zhou was a smooth talker. He didn't seem to notice Duan Yue's disdainful look and continued chatting with Sister Mao.
"Don't worry, we've cleared more than ten Haunted Houses of this scale." The blonde was the bravest and most impulsive of the group. He led the way.
"Let's go. The online reviews for this Haunted House are so high. I want to see what's so good about it." To make it easier for her to record, Sister Mao entered the scenario with her phone.
A cold wind that came out of nowhere picked up the paper money on the ground. The white lanterns swayed, and the pale light lit up the empty street.
"There are three main factors in a haunted house design — story, setting, and emotion. I can give this scenario six out of ten, but without the support of a story, it's hard for the visitors to feel a sense of immersion. As for the emotion, there's no sense of fear at all. It's such a waste of so many realistic props," Sister Mao commented. Sister Mao commented casually. The tall man and the blonde nodded in agreement. Only Zhang Lan kept turning to look at Bai Qiulin. She felt like this man was a bit weird.
"Why is his left hand always in his pocket?"
The eight of them squeezed together, and five of them were professional Haunted House reviewers, so naturally, they did not feel fear.
"When I came in, I heard from the boss that there's a time limit. This scenario is so big, so I think we should split into two groups and search from two directions." Lao Zhou gave his suggestion after some consideration.
"Forty minutes is more than enough for us to search. When you come to a Haunted House, especially one like this, remember not to fall into their trap." The blonde looked experienced. "The two of you just need to follow behind me. To be honest, I've been very brave since I was young. Even if I run into a real ghost, I'll fight them, much less a Haunted House actor."
"Impressive."
Lao Zhou and Duan Yue followed behind the blonde while Sister Mao and the tall man walked together. Zhang Lan stood between Bai Qiulin and Brother Wong. She realized that Bai Qiulin had many habits that were different from normal people. For example, his neck was slightly slanted like he had twisted his neck when he fell headfirst.
"What are you looking at?" Brother Wong turned around to look at Xiao Lan. He seemed to have a purpose for coming to the Haunted House, and he was not that familiar with Sister Mao's team.
This was the first time Zhang Lan had met Brother Wong, and she had no idea why Sister Mao was bringing this man with her. "It's nothing. By the way, come with me later. Sister Mao specifically told me to accompany you."
The group walked at the front. Bai Qiulin looked at their backs, and his lips slowly curled up into a smile.
The pale light elongated their shadows. They had officially entered Coffin Village.
The moment they stepped into Coffin Village, the white lanterns on the sides of the street started to sway, and the village turned darker like something was waking up.
Creak …
The blonde pushed open the door to the first old home. There was nothing in the empty courtyard.
"That's it?" He seemed disappointed. With the accompaniment of Lao Zhou and Duan Yue, the three entered the main hall.
On the offering table were black and white pictures of people who had their eyes gouged out, the walls were pasted with paintings of mountain ghosts, and a coffin was parked in the middle of the hall.
"The decorations are simple, but there's nothing to be afraid of." The blonde walked around the room and picked up the black and white picture on the table. "Why would the eyes be gouged out? Is there a clue to clear the scenario? "
He opened the frame and took out the black and white picture. "Why does this person look like he's crying?"
The blonde was about to take a closer look when Lao Zhou's voice came from behind him. "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, just looking around. I like to clear all the side scenarios at the Haunted House; that gives me a sense of achievement."
"I think we shouldn't wander around. Finding the wedding dress is more important. We don't have enough time." Lao Zhou and Duan Yue slowly surrounded them, their toes tapping on the ground.
"Don't worry, there will be enough time." The blonde flicked his bangs back and raised two fingers at Lao Zhou. "We can clear the Haunted House in twenty minutes, but there's no need to. That will ruin the fun."
He faced Lao Zhou with his back to the wall, so he did not see the ghosts in the pictures staring at him.
