Hu Ya's voice came from Tails' phone. It was warm and gentle, like sunlight shining into her heart.
"Sister Hu Ya, listen to me. The ghost is hiding inside the printer. It dragged me to the cave. You'll see it when you move the printer away."
"Okay, don't worry, we'll meet again soon."
Hearing the voice on the phone, Tails was still worried. "You have to take the left path! When I exited the cave, there was the sound of rolling wheels behind me. Something was chasing me. I didn't think twice and ran in a random direction. I only called you after the sound disappeared. "
"We're already there. Just keep walking. Don't be afraid, and don't hang up." Hu Ya's voice kept coming from the phone like a caring big sister.
With the accompaniment of the voice, Tails felt her body regaining its strength, and she walked deeper into the darkness.
…
"I can't get through to the phone."
Ah Nan stood in the middle of the junction and looked at the two white paths. He was deep in thought.
"Which way should we go?"
This question had been bothering him for a long time. The underground morgue was different from other scenarios. It was like a complicated maze, and they were deep inside it.
"No one is answering. The boss is very careful. There should be a signal jammer installed in this scenario." Xiao Li tried to use science to explain.
"It's not a signal jammer. The signal is full, but no one is answering." Hu Ya put her phone away. She stood next to Ah Nan, and there was worry in her eyes. "Tails probably dropped her phone somewhere when she was running for her life."
Hu Ya gave the most realistic answer, and that was the explanation she gave herself.
"What should we do next? This is another junction. Which way should we go? " Yang Cheng looked at Hu Ya, who was using the phone inside the Haunted House, and he subconsciously moved away from her. Something was wrong, and he did not want to stand out anymore. He tried to keep a low profile.
His eyes scanned the people around him, and the anxiety in Yang Cheng's heart grew stronger. He paid close attention to find the source of that anxiety.
"There are no signs on the two roads. They are both painted white. Based on what the medical student said, they are used to transport corpses. They are meant for the dead. We'd better not enter them." After Xiao Li finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Qiulin. He probably wanted to get Bai Qiulin's support, but unfortunately, Bai Qiulin's attention was not on him from beginning to end.
"I can only take a gamble." Hu Ya and Ah Nan did not discuss it with the others. The two of them looked at each other and chose the path on the left. "Tails' phone rang, but no one answered. She probably dropped it while she was running. For her to flee in such a hurry without even picking up her phone, it meant that she must have been chased by something terrifying, most likely a small car with wheels. In that case, she would definitely choose the passage that was closer to her, and the passage on the left is closer to her. "
"Your speculation sounds more like self-deception to me. It doesn't hold water at all." After all, Yang Cheng was young. He could not take it anymore, so he retorted, "What if the monster chasing Tails came from the left tunnel? She can only run to the right, and if we go to the left tunnel, we'll run into the monsters. "
"In comparison, the chance of Tails entering the left tunnel is higher. That's enough for me." Hu Ya and Ah Nan walked into the left tunnel without turning back.
The two editors insisted on leaving. To ensure the integrity of the team, even though Yang Cheng was not satisfied, he had to follow.
The team of twelve had become nine. If they continued to split up, the chance of clearing the scenario would be even slimmer.
Sighing softly, Yang Chen felt more and more like he could not read the boss. "Based on my understanding of the boss, after he gets the picture, the real horror of this scenario will be revealed. This is just the appetizer."
Just thinking about it made Yang Chen's forehead sweat uncontrollably. It was obvious that the enemy hadn't used their full strength yet. It had only been a few minutes since they entered the scene, and the team that was originally united as a rope had already fallen apart. If this continued, it would be a problem to enter the central hub to find the picture, much less clear the scenario.
"The boss of this haunted house is too crazy. He doesn't leave any room for survival!"
Yang Cheng sighed internally, but his expression did not change. He was worried that his emotions would affect the others.
I can't rely on others. At a time like this, I can only focus on myself and prioritize my own people. Yang Cheng turned back to look. The group of visitors had split into several smaller groups.
The two editors walked at the front, Bai Qiulin and Xiao Li walked together, and at the back of the group was Lao Zhou and Duan Yue.
"The two editors refused to listen to advice. They have their own way of thinking. Bai Qiulin is a prideful person, and it feels like he's very cunning." Yang Chen looked around before his gaze finally landed on Ol 'Zhou. "This young couple are kind people. The husband has a strong sense of justice and is generous while the wife has a weak personality. These two are very suitable to be teammates. There is a need for me to get to know them better."
Yang Cheng whispered something to Lee Xue before he slowed down and walked to Lao Zhou's side.
Realizing that Yang Cheng had voluntarily come to chat with him, Lao Zhou showed great caution. He still remembered Yang Cheng's cold words when the chef ran away.
He did not treat Yang Cheng nicely. From his perspective, if Yang Cheng could abandon the chef, she would abandon him in the future.
"Why are you here?" Lao Zhou's face was drawn, but it was Duan Yue who tried to persuade him.
Yang Cheng apologized in a whisper and told him about her difficulties. Then she seriously analyzed the situation for Lao Zhou, and in the end, Lao Zhou's expression softened.
However, when Yang Chen suggested to form an alliance with Ol 'Zhou, Ol' Zhou rejected him without a second thought. When Duan Yue asked, Ol 'Zhou used a voice that was loud enough for Yang Chen to hear and said, "Forming an alliance with them is like asking a tiger for its skin. We're not that cunning. Otherwise, we'll be betrayed by them and still count the money for them."
Duan Yue nodded with a hint of understanding, but Yang Cheng could only smile bitterly. However, the more Lao Zhou said that, the more convinced he was of the idea of allying with Lao Zhou.
He did not know why, but the anxiety in his heart grew stronger. It felt like danger was lurking around him, even hiding among the visitors. Therefore, at this time, he needed to gather more power to deal with the unexpected.
While Yang Cheng continued to persuade Lao Zhou, there was a new change in the corridor ahead.
The smell of formalin thickened, and a cold wind blew out from an open steel door at the end of the corridor.
