The tables, chairs, and old mannequins were moved away, and a few visitors walked down the corridor that had just been cleared.
"Ol 'Yang, come over here!" Wang Yan saw Yang Cheng standing behind him, and he urged. He had no idea that Yang Cheng's heart was in turmoil, and he was having a mental battle.
"Why are you two in such a hurry?" Yang Cheng yelled at Wang Yan. Before he could send the message, he was about to persuade Wang Yan and Lee Xue to come back when the light next to him suddenly flickered.
"The light?" Yang Cheng seemed to realize something, and he ran madly toward Wang Yan and Lee Xue. "Retreat to my side! Quick! The lights are going off! "
The lights in the corridor started to go off one after another, and this time, it was much faster than the previous two times.
When Lee Xue heard Yang Cheng's voice, she immediately ran toward Yang Cheng, but Wang Yan was quite far away from them. When he was halfway there, the light next to him went off.
The corridor fell into darkness for the third time. The thing that worried Yang Cheng was that they were at the border between the outer area and the middle area. No one knew what kind of monsters were hiding on the other side of the hole in the wall, and that was an unknown area.
"The boss turned off the lights when I was about to reveal the identity of the five ghosts. Could it be that he has already noticed that someone has guessed the identity of the five ghosts? If that's the case, then the victim this time might be me. Of all the visitors, that aloof Bai Qiulin is the hardest to deal with, and other than him, it should be me. After visiting the Haunted House many times, I've figured out the boss's routine. He will definitely treat me as his biggest threat and target me. " A strong sense of danger surged in Yang Cheng's heart. He did not plan to sit and wait for death. He stood up, grabbed Lee Xue, and yelled at the other side of the corridor, "Wang Yan! Come to me! "
Shadows moved in the darkness, and liquid dripped from above their heads. A shadow was crawling over their heads.
"What is it?"
Wang Yan, who was halfway through his run, felt a cold and damp air rushing towards him. He stared blankly at the ceiling as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the monster, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Shivering, Wang Yan subconsciously turned his head to look, but there was nothing there.
"Who's behind me?"
A drop of cold liquid fell on his neck. Wang Yan was startled. Before he could recover, someone patted his shoulder again. This time, he could clearly feel a hand on his shoulder.
"Got you!"
Wang Yan had a bad temper and wasn't good at reasoning and thinking. However, he was physically fit and had quick reflexes.
Before that hand could withdraw, he directly grabbed it. The other party was deliberately scaring him at this time, which made Wang Yan a little angry.
He grabbed the hand violently and flung it forward with all his might.
With a flick of his arm, the hand was pulled before his eyes.
Five slender fingers interlocked with Wang Yan's fingers. Looking back, it was a clean palm and a jagged cut that appeared to have been made by a cleaver.
It was a broken hand. It had been chopped off at the wrist, and Wang Yan was gripping this hand tightly in his palm.
"A hand?"
His mind froze for a second, and then Wang Yan was drowned in fear!
"Where did this hand come from?"
In the darkness, he shook his arm as hard as he could, and the air was stuck in his throat. Just as he was about to scream, the broken mannequins around him seemed to come alive, and they shone at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan, who was completely dominated by fear, could not tell which direction to go. He screamed and ran instinctively toward the place where there were no mannequins.
"Wang Yan!" When Yang Cheng heard his partner's voice, he immediately took out the phone from his pocket.
When he swiped the screen and turned on the flashlight, the liquid on the ceiling dripped down, and thick darkness gathered above his head, forming a face that was hollowed out. It slowly approached, as if it was going to wrap around Yang Chen's head.
With all his attention on Wang Yan, Yang Cheng did not notice the shadow above his head. Instead, it was Lee Xue, who was next to him, who screamed. She staggered backward until she sat on the ground. Her body leaned against the wall, and she kept moving backward.
Seeing Lee Xue's reaction, Yang Cheng realized that he had been targeted as well. "So, the real target of the Haunted House's boss is me?"
The light from the phone flickered in the corridor, and the monsters formed from darkness appeared in large numbers.
"Don't panic! The darkness will only last for a while! "Yang Cheng dodged to the side. He raised the phone and stood before Lee Xue to protect her.
Footsteps echoed down the corridor that was filled with junk. The visitors started to run in a certain direction in the darkness.
"Stay where you are! Stop! " Hearing the messy footsteps, Yang Cheng finally realized that something was wrong. He believed that the Haunted House's boss had noticed that some of the visitors had discovered the presence of ghosts among their group, so he had switched off the lights this time to disrupt the group of visitors and create a better environment for his employees.
Yang Cheng screamed at the top of his lungs, but Wang Yan, who was already scared out of his wits, did not listen. He tried his best to shake his hand, but to his horror, the broken hand was exerting its own strength to hold on to him.
The ten fingers intertwined like they were glued to his palm.
The monsters on the ceiling approached, and the mannequins around him seemed to come back to life. The human heads rolled on the ground, and Wang Yan stood alone in the middle of the pile of junk. He had lost the ability to think.
Footsteps came from beside him. Some of the visitors in the group were running away. Wang Dan turned to the side. He followed the footsteps and tried to escape from the encirclement of the mannequins and the monsters above him.
"Who's running? Squat on the ground! Lean against the wall! Stay where you are! " Hu Ya and Ah Nan were also yelling. They realized that there was someone purposely messing around in the group, trying to incite panic.
The shadows swayed, and the lights did not come on. With the mannequins and monsters chasing after him, Wang Yan ran into the middle section.
He had no idea how long he had been running with the visitors before him. In his memory, he had turned several corners, and now he could no longer turn back.
After he calmed down, Wang Yan regretted his decision, but he did not have any other choice.
The force on the palm grew stronger. He was a medical student, and the hand felt like human skin. However, there was no warmth, like it was a dead person's hand.
Hiding from the mannequins and the monsters, Wang Yan suddenly heard Bai Qiulin's shocked and angry voice. "Who is it? Who is it? "
Then he heard Xiao Li's scream. Wang Yan knew that Xiao Li had been following behind Bai Qiulin.
"What happened? What did they run into this time? "There was a corner up ahead. Wang Yan leaned closer and saw two people lying in the corner.
Xiao Li was lying in front, unconscious.
Bai Qiulin was lying at the back, and he was still conscious. He was waving at Wang Yan.
He could not see the monster that had attacked the two visitors, and Wang Yan's heart was shaking. He did not dare go over, and he did not want to save the two. However, he had no idea where he was. If he did not stay with the two visitors, he would be more likely to run into trouble if he went out alone.
After hesitating for two seconds, Wang Yan bent down to catch his breath. He planned to squat next to Bai Qiulin to ask about the situation.
With his legs bent down, Wang Yan looked at Bai Qiulin. His lips opened, but before he could say the sentence that he had prepared, he saw Bai Qiulin's spine suddenly bend ninety degrees! The familiar head fell directly onto Wang Yan's body. Blood started to leak out from his orifices. A horrifying face stared at Wang Yan, and his lips kept repeating the same sentence.
"Give me back my hand!"
Wang Yan was so scared that he almost knelt down. His body leaned forward, and the sentence that he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. His whole face was purple.
His eyelids rolled upward, and Wang Yan finally understood why Xiao Li had fainted.
…
His body was moved, and his eyes opened a slit. Wang Yan saw several doctors in white coats standing around him. They were holding his nametag, and they appeared to be discussing something.
"Where am I? Is this a hospital? " Wang Yan used all his strength to turn around and realized that he was lying on a bed with a clean sheet, and Xiao Li had been tossed on a random wooden board.
"You're awake." The four doctors surrounded Wang Yan's bed. From Wang Yan's perspective, it was quite scary.
"But … wasn't I visiting a Haunted House?" Wang Yan was not sure. He was scared out of his wits, and it took him a long time to remember who he was.
"We're the doctors at the Haunted House. You fainted, and it was us who saved you." The doctors looked kind and easy to talk to. They seemed to treat Wang Yan very kindly.
At Western Jiujiang's Haunted House, the few doctors who were wrapped up were very kind to him, and that made Wang Yan's hair stand on end.
"Thank you." He looked at the doctors carefully and did not dare move. "Can I leave now?"
"Of course, keep your nametag with you. Don't lose it." The leading doctor placed Wang Yan's nametag lightly next to him. "There's no problem with work and rest, but there has to be a limit to everything. After this visit, go back to school and focus on your lessons."
The leading doctor seemed like he had not said these things to anyone for a long time. He sighed and felt lucky. "I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to see them again and say these things to them. This familiar scene, why do I feel like my eyes are brimming with tears?"
Wang Yan also thought this was weird. These doctors in white coats were very kind to him, but they treated Xiao Li, who was also scared out of his wits.
"Have we met somewhere before?" Wang Yan asked in a confused tone. He looked at the leading doctor and felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
The leading doctor smiled, and his eyes were filled with kindness. "Actually, the few of us …"
He coughed lightly, and the older doctor next to him waved his hand. "Don't create trouble for Mr Chen."
"Okay." The leading doctor's tone was rather dejected.
Wang Yan had no idea what the doctors were talking about. He gripped the nametag tightly. "I'm indeed a student at Western Jiujiang Medical University. Are the few of you seniors from my school? That can't be right. Today is a Wednesday. Every Wednesday morning, the medical university will have a big class, so there wouldn't be any seniors working part-time here. "
"First year? Wednesday? " The leading doctor was startled, and his brows slowly creased together. "That reminds me. If I'm not mistaken, we should be in class now, right?"
The doctor's tone turned serious. Wang Yan's legs shook, and he was even more confused.
He suddenly felt like he was facing his own school's teaching director. His voice was weak, and he said weakly, "Today is the opening of the Haunted House's new scenario. I skipped class with a few students to come visit."
Wang Yan had no idea what he was afraid of, but this fear was completely different from before.
"Skipping class?" The leading doctor nodded, and his face tensed up. The atmosphere in the room turned heavy, and the four doctors radiated a deep chill. "Skipping class as a first year student? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your teacher? "
"I don't think so. This is the first time I've skipped class …" Wang Yan stuttered, and he was getting more and more afraid.
"Don't scare him." The kind voice appeared again. This time, it was the older doctor. "Alright, I'll send you out of the scenario. After the visit, go back quickly. Don't delay your afternoon class."
Then, the doctor turned to the side and yelled, "And you, stop playing dead. Let's leave together."
Xiao Li, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. He smiled awkwardly and climbed up from the ground. "I'll leave now. Sorry for disturbing you."
Xiao Li and Wang Yan supported each other as they walked out of the sickroom. Looking at the complicated corridors outside, neither of them knew where to go.
Picking a random direction, they had a feeling that they would be transported back to this place before long.
"Take the left path. When you run into a fork, take the middle path and enter the second room. There's a dresser in the room. Push it open, and the secret exit will be behind the dresser." The older doctor patiently pointed the way for Xiao Li and Wang Yan. After making sure that the two had memorized the route, he shook his head and returned to the room, closing the door.
"Thank you!" Xiao Li dragged Wang Yan excitedly down the path. Finally, they could leave this place. The mission given by Mr. Mu had been tossed to the back of Xiao Li's mind. He only wanted to leave as soon as possible. "Brother, what kind of background do you have? How come it feels like the few actors are very familiar with you? They seem to know you. "
"I have no idea." Wang Yan shook his head. He felt like something was wrong. "This is weird. The actors are advising people not to skip class. Are all the extras so professional? Isn't that a bit too positive? "
"No matter what, I owe you one today. When Eastern Jiujiang's new theme park opens, it will be hard to get a ticket. I can help you get a few free tickets." Xiao Li patted his chest.
"Eastern Jiujiang's new theme park?" Wang Yan shook his head. "Forget it. Follow me, we'll talk after we get out of here."
"Okay!"
The two of them ran all the way to the room that the doctor had mentioned. There was a large morgue in the room, and there was a large hole in the middle of the morgue. It was filled with a viscous liquid that kept bubbling, as if something was hiding in the hole.
"This is the dresser." Xiao Li and Wang Yan worked together to push the dresser open. Behind it was a dark tunnel.
…
The few doctors stood in the room. The tallest doctor looked at the oldest doctor with an unnatural expression. "Elder Wei, why did you tell them about the hidden tunnel that leads to the central hub? Xiao Chen has set up more than ten mannequins and traps inside the tunnel. Even I am scared. "
"Skipping class in the first year? This is getting more and more out of hand. I have no idea how Xiao Zheng manages the school! One day, I must go back to take a look! "The doctor called Elder Wei floated into the room alone.
The other doctors looked at each other before turning to the oldest doctor. "Elder Wei, will something bad happen to us?"
"Something bad? With me, Wei Jiuqin, as long as he has one breath left, I can save him! I want to use this student to tell the other students at Western Jiujiang that this is the consequence of skipping class! "
