"Stay where you are! Don't move! "
When all the lights went off and darkness fell, Yang Cheng shouted to remind the group.
The three editors were still inside the warehouse. Ah Nan and Hu Ya were in the middle of the racks. They walked in front and did not realize that Tail had not followed them.
The room was dark, and only the light from the computer screen was visible. Tail tilted her body, and her face slowly moved closer to the screen.
As she got closer, the face on the computer screen became clearer.
The dark green outline protruded outward like a body that was submerged in water slowly rising to the surface.
She focused on the face on the screen. There was no hair, and it appeared to be swollen and white from being soaked in some kind of liquid for a long time.
"This outline …"
Taking out the piece of white paper from her pocket, Tail leaned against the monitor, and she unfolded it.
Her slender fingers landed on the paper, and Tail's eyes slowly widened. She realized that the outline on the printed paper was identical to the face on the computer screen!
"Is this a human face?"
She turned to look, and the lights outside had all gone off. In the darkness, she saw the light on the printer light come on again.
A piece of white paper fell before her eyes.
This time, there was no human face on the paper, but three words were written — Turn Back!
Holding the white paper on the ground with both hands, Tails was surrounded by an unknown fear. Her body was cold, and she could not find her teammates. Standing alone in the dark, her neck was stiff, and she forced herself not to turn her head.
The cold light from the computer screen shone on her body, and Tail's small body started to shake. Her pupils trembled in their sockets, and the corner of her eyes moved uncontrollably to the side.
The black computer screen rippled like water, and the thing at the bottom of the 'water' was swimming up.
Tail did not dare move. She maintained her posture and stared at the screen with the corner of her eyes.
The ripples spread, and in the computer screen that no one else noticed, a green and completely swollen face crawled out!
It was too fast, and there was no time to react. Tail could only watch as the face rushed at her. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out from her throat.
Her eyes widened like they were about to tear out of their sockets.
The swollen face was still approaching. Its neck, arms, and upper body.
The wet arms reached for the helpless girl before it. The monster seemed to want to drag Tail into the computer screen!
"What just happened?"
The lights in the corridor lit up again. Ah Nan yelled at the people outside, and he and Hu Ya hurried out.
The faces of all the visitors outside the warehouse were pale. Lao Zhou was still breathing heavily, and he looked like he had been given quite a scare.
"Say something! What the hell happened? " A bad feeling rose in Ah Nan's heart. He looked at the number of people, and his brows creased. "The chef and his brother are missing?"
"They ran away on their own." Bai Qiulin rubbed his shoulder. He had been pushed aside by Lao Zhou and hit the wall.
"Both of you should have been outside at the time. Why would they suddenly go crazy?" Ah Nan stared at Bai Qiulin.
"Just now, the lights on the wall went off one by one. The chef's little brother seemed to have seen something coming from the dark. The chef ran to the junction to check it out. Then, like a madman, he grabbed his little brother and ran away." Bai Qiulin told Chen Ge everything that he had seen. He did not hide anything.
"The thing in the dark?" Ah Nan's frown deepened. "In other words, it was the monster in the dark that scared the chef to the point of breaking down, and only the chef who has seen the monster can tell what it looks like."
When Ah Nan said that, everyone's heart squeezed. The unknown was the scariest.
How terrifying must that thing be to be able to make a 1.9-meter-tall, burly man collapse in fright? The scariest thing was that it was hiding in the dark, and it could find the next person at any moment.
"Did you trigger any traps outside?" Ah Nan crossed his arms over his chest and held his chin with his other hand.
"No, we were the ones who were ambushed. There was no warning." Bai Qiulin said decisively. "I've already told you that the junction is the most dangerous place. Do not stay near it, but you refused to listen."
He sighed. "We are under the surveillance of the Haunted House's boss at all times. He is looking for our every weakness. Once he finds an opening, like a piranha in the water, he will rush forward to tear us apart."
The truth was right before their eyes, and the other visitors could not argue with it. The three editors and the three medical students had their own teammates, and they were a small group. Even if they agreed with Bai Qiulin, they would not show it.
However, Xiao Li was different. Like Bai Qiulin, he was also a solo visitor. He had entered the Haunted House alone to challenge a three-star scenario. At that moment, he felt that Bai Qiulin was not a normal person. Be it his logical thinking or analysis, he was above the standard of a normal person. Therefore, the idea of forming a team with Bai Qiulin appeared in his mind. At least they would be able to take care of each other.
"I think we should listen to everyone's opinion before we make a move." Xiao Li did not openly support Bai Qiulin, but he was standing next to Bai Qiulin and facing Ah Nan and Yang Cheng. That was very telling.
"It was my idea to enter the storeroom to explore. This is my fault." Ah Nan apologized to the other visitors directly. He also became more serious. "In the future, before I make a decision, I will communicate more with everyone."
"It's fine." Bai Qiulin pointed at the spot where Fan Dade and Fan Cong had disappeared. "What do we plan to do next?"
"Should we go find them?" Lao Zhou was kind. "We're still afraid when there are twelve of us, but if it's just the two of them exploring alone, they might be scared to death."
"That's fine." Bai Qiuling and Ah Nan had no objections. They turned to Yang Cheng, who stood in the middle of the corridor with her hands clenched. "Do you three medical students have anything to say?"
"I don't object to going to find the chef and his brother, but before that, you have to think about something." Yang Cheng's eyes scanned the group. "We are currently in control of the situation. The choice of every path is up to us. Once we go to find the two of them, we will lose the initiative and become the boss's toys, falling into his carefully designed traps."
"What do you mean by that?" Lao Zhou was displeased.
"I've made myself very clear. If we want to clear the game, or rather, we need to go as far as we can." Yang Cheng let go and looked down the corridor that the chef had taken. "I suggest we find the path ourselves."
