Zhang Jingjiu was a nice person; he should be the most innocent actor at the Haunted House.
Actually, he wanted to be like his other colleagues and scare the tourists. He thought about the restaurant owner and the few perverted games that he had played.
However, this was his first day at work, and he was not prepared. When he saw how pitiful the visitors were, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Come in, this is your safe haven." Zhang Jingjiu believed that even if he could not scare the visitors, at least he had to make them feel his sincerity. That was the basic quality that a person in the service industry should have.
The woman hesitated, but the man was already scared.
"Don't go over there!" With every word that Zhang Jingjiu said, the man took a step back.
"I really don't mean anything by it. I just feel sorry for you." Zhang Jingjiu thought about how difficult it was to do something good.
"Wang Yan, should we trust him for once?" the woman said softly as she crawled up from the ground.
"Haven't you been taught enough? The workers at this Haunted House are either wolves in sheep's clothing or demons hiding inside human bodies! How can you be so naive as to trust them? "The man dragged his tired body and retreated to the 'doghouse' opposite the hotel.
The woman realized that her partner had left, so she quickly followed.
Seeing the two visitors run into the 'doghouse' scenario on their own, Zhang Jingjiu's face was bitter. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Wolves in sheep's clothing? A demon hiding in a living person's body? Looks like I've seriously lowered the average professional ability of the Haunted House workers. "
…
"Wang Yan, I really can't run anymore. Let's rest for a while." Wang Yan's girlfriend leaned against the wall, and she gasped for air. This was the first time that she realized how tiring visiting a Haunted House could be.
"Now is not the time to rest. This place gives me a bad feeling." Wang Yan had trained his instinct. He scanned everything in the small courtyard before his eyes stopped at a wooden doghouse.
"We haven't seen houses for pets in any of the other scenarios. There has to be something wrong with this place."
Wang Yan felt like there was a ball of fire burning in his chest, but he did not dare to stop moving. There was no place in the scenario that was safe. If he stopped, more things would come after him.
He took a deep breath and looked out of the "kennel."
Even though the restaurant across the street was still lit up, the worker did not wander too far away. Perhaps he was purposely luring them.
The streets were pitch-black, and they could vaguely see black shadows moving about. It was as if someone was standing by the roadside and waving at them.
The hotel was not safe, and the streets were not safe either. Now that his physical strength had reached its limit, he could no longer run.
"Why don't we give up?" Wang Yan's girlfriend said. Her eyes were wet, and the makeup on her face was ruined.
"I've visited this Haunted House many times, but I've never walked out of it standing. Now that the visiting time is almost up, I just need to hold on a little longer, and I'll be able to get through it. It would be a waste to give up now." Considering that his girlfriend was already exhausted, Wang Yan decided to temporarily hide in this room.
"I've been to so many empty houses before, but nothing happened. Hopefully, I'm just overthinking this time."
Closing the door to the courtyard, Wang Yan and his girlfriend entered the kennel.
The door opened, and the wind chime that hung on the door rang like it was informing the owner that someone had entered the house.
"Hanging a wind chime on the door, that's quite artistic." Wang Yan looked into the room. The room was built in a Japanese style. There was a long and narrow corridor in the middle, and the two sides were separated rooms. The floor was tiled, and there were several pairs of slippers placed at the door.
"Wang Yan, do you smell something nice? It smells like air freshener. " Wang Yan's girlfriend pulled on Wang Yan's shirt and shuffled carefully. "Other Haunted Houses would purposely create a strange smell to heighten the sense of horror, but this Haunted House is different. They spray so many air fresheners, afraid that the visitors will feel uncomfortable."
"Wait a minute!" Wang Yan suddenly stopped moving. He turned to look at his girlfriend. "What did you just say?"
"This room has been sprayed with many air fresheners …"
"I told you there's something wrong with this place! Let's go back the way we came, and we'll go somewhere else. "Wang Yan had just entered the room, and before he even walked in, he turned to leave.
"What's wrong with spraying air fresheners?" Wang Yan's girlfriend still did not understand the key point.
"The other rooms don't have the smell of air fresheners, but this room does, and the smell is very strong. This means that the culprit is purposely using the smell of air fresheners to cover up the original smell inside the room!" Wang Yan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. "Last month, during the public lecture, Mr. Liu gave a case. After the suspect dismembered the body, he hid the body parts at home and transported some of them out every day. He was worried that the smell would be too strong, so he bought a large amount of air fresheners to cover up the smell. After the police found the body parts, Mr. Liu discovered the lingering smell of air fresheners on the body parts. He followed the trail and finally caught the culprit. "
Wang Yan did not expect that the knowledge he had learned in class would be put into practice during a Haunted House visit.
It would have been fine if it was another profession, but the key was that he was a forensic doctor.
"You said the air fresheners are used to cover up the smell of dead bodies?" Wang Yan's girlfriend also started to panic. This was a Haunted House visit, and it might even lead to a murder case. Who would be able to handle that?
"It might not be to cover up the smell of dead bodies, it could be to cover up other smells." Wang Yan was no longer the hot-tempered young man. After going through so many setbacks, he had been reborn.
He pulled the door open again, and the wind chime made another shrill sound.
Initially, Wang Yan did not think there was a problem, but just as the wind chime was about to disappear, a very weak male voice entered Wang Yan's ears.
"Save me, please take me with you."
Standing at the door, Wang Yan turned back to look. There was no other man in the dark corridor.
"Did you hear a man's cry for help?" Wang Yan asked his girlfriend, but the girl shook her head.
"Am I hallucinating because I am too nervous?" He prepared to close the door. When the door touched the wind chime, the man's voice appeared again.
"Don't leave me here! Save me! "
Wang Yan was sure that there was a man crying for help. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Wind chime?"
The man's voice seemed to come from inside the wind chime. Wang Yan opened the door again and reached out to grab the wind chime.
He shook it lightly, and a man's face appeared on the inner wall of the wind chime.
