"Why is this person wearing the uniform of another school?" Chui Ming was startled. "Mu Yang High School? I've never heard of it before. Is it another visitor who sneaked in? But how come I didn't hear any voices in my nightmare? "
When Chui Ming stood where he was, the footsteps echoed in the dark classroom again, and the blurry figure slowly approached.
The temperature seemed to have dropped. The cold air from the air conditioner caressed his neck and crawled into his collar. Chui Ming felt a chill run down his back.
"Brother Gou?"
No one answered Chui Ming. He took a deep breath. The indescribable pressure grew, and his body instinctively wanted to escape.
"What's going on?" He was inside a Haunted House, and he was an actor, so why did it feel like he was a visitor?
His eyes widened, and the more he looked, the more he felt like something was wrong. The person following him was definitely not Xiao Gou; she was wearing the uniform of another school!
The unknown was the scariest, and that was exactly what Chui Ming was experiencing. He knew that someone was following him, but he had no idea who that person was.
This familiar scenario became scarier because of this stranger behind him.
The darkness swallowed Chui Ming like a wave. His chest rose and fell, and his breathing became rushed. It felt like he was the only person left in the room. There were no other visitors or colleagues around him, only endless darkness.
After a normal person got used to the colorful world, they would panic temporarily when they were suddenly plunged into darkness like they had been stripped out of their original world.
After scaring so many visitors in this scenario, Chui Ming finally experienced the feeling of being scared.
The phone in his palm vibrated again, and Chui Ming knew that someone had sent him a message.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Chui Ming used his body to block the light and looked at the message on the screen — 'Put on the earphones!'
It was still from Xiao Gou. It was very short, only four words.
"If there's something, just say it! You're making me even more panicked! " Chui Ming grumbled internally. He held the phone with one hand and reached into his pocket to search for the earphones. Just as he was about to put the earphones on, a cold draft suddenly came from behind his neck.
He whipped his body around, and the light from the phone shone on him.
Without lowering his head, Chui Ming looked behind him. He did not see a living person approaching him, but he did see a pair of old female shoes. The thing that had brushed against his neck earlier was a shoelace.
"Why are these shoes floating behind me?" Cui Ming slowly raised his head and saw a pitch-black figure almost standing on his shoulder!
When he raised his head to look at the other person, the other person was also looking at him!
His heart seemed to have missed a beat, and his body seemed to have petrified. He leaned against the wall, and his brain tried to use the last bit of reason to comfort himself, but after thinking quickly for a long time, his mind was blank.
An abandoned classroom, a psychic game, complete darkness, and a person standing on his shoulder. Any one or two of these keywords would be enough to scare a person out of their wits, not to mention that Cui Ming had gathered all the 'elements'.
Han-yang's neck was already stiff. Chui Ming shouted. Perhaps it was because he was too afraid, his words were very unclear. The people around him didn't even hear what he said clearly. They only saw him rush forward with a 'swoosh'.
The script, the actors, and the Haunted House were tossed to the back of Chui Ming's mind. There was only one thought in his mind — run! Hurry up and run out!
There was no goal, no direction. As long as he could leave this classroom, he could go anywhere.
"Chui Ming!" Xiao Gou shouted, trying to get Chui Ming to calm down, but the reply was the sound of chairs and tables being knocked over.
There was no light in the classroom, so Chui Ming could not see the way. He charged forward and finally escaped from the front door.
Xiao Gou knew that it was a ghost following behind Chui Ming. Seeing Chui Ming's reaction, he instantly realized how scary the thing was.
"Where are you going? Chui Ming! "Xiao Gou screamed, but Chui Ming did not even turn around and disappeared.
"What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly run away? Did something happen to him? " There was concern in Chen Ge's eyes, and he asked three questions in a row. The other people in the room could hear the concern for Chui Ming from his tone.
"I don't know, but I don't think we can continue this game anymore. I need to go find Chui Ming." Xiao Gou started to get afraid. The surroundings were dark, and he had no idea whether the ghost had left with Chui Ming or not.
"No!"
These two words came from the earpiece and the last row of the classroom at the same time. Chen Ge and the boss of Nightmare Academy spoke at the same time.
"What are you doing? Just act according to the script! Don't mess it up the moment you show up, or you'll become a joke to that thing! "
His boss's voice came from Xiao Gou's earpiece. Before he could reply to his boss, he heard Chen Ge say from the last row of the classroom, "You can't quit the game halfway, or else the ghost will haunt you for the rest of your life! Whether this is a plot set up by the Haunted House or a real ghost, if you don't want to be knocked on your door in the middle of the night, you'd better continue playing this game! "
Hearing his boss and Chen Ge's voices at the same time, Xiao Gou felt like he was about to go crazy. Just what kind of people had he run into?
What kind of visitor would voluntarily request to finish the game inside a Haunted House? This had never happened before.
Chen Ge was the visitor, and the person on the other end of the earpiece was the boss. Since both of them insisted on playing this game, Xiao Gou had no choice but to continue.
"Okay, then … we'll continue." He gritted his teeth. Now, he could only gamble that the ghost had left with Chui Ming.
"One person is missing, and there's an empty corner. Then, we'll change the rules of the game." Chen Ge was probably the first person to come to someone else's Haunted House to change the rules of the game, so he did not mind doing that.
"The basic rules will not change. We'll continue to walk clockwise. If we reach a corner that's empty, we'll cough and clear that corner. Then, we'll continue to move forward."
"We'll do as you say." Xiao Gou's heart was no longer on the game, so he agreed very perfunctorily.
"Then, we'll start with me." Chen Ge counted down from three. Then, he took out the comic from his backpack and walked toward the corner in front of him.
He did not purposely hide his footsteps, and in the dark, he could see a person walking.
Xiao Gou kept his eyes on Chen Ge. The corner that Chen Ge was walking toward was very close to where Chui Ming had his accident.
His nerves were taut, and he was paying close attention.
Soon, Chen Ge reached the next corner. He did not cough and stood where he was.
"There's no cough! There's someone in that corner! "Xiao Gou's body was shaking; he was very anxious.
Chen Ge stopped at the corner, but his footsteps did not stop. A shadow swayed from the last row of the classroom toward Lee Bo.
Of everyone there, only Lee Bo, the fatty, was still in the dark. He was focused on his game.
Someone patted his shoulder lightly, and Lee Bo walked toward Xiao Gou.
There was a secret code between the Haunted House workers. Lee Bo walked to Xiao Gou's back and patted his left shoulder and then his right shoulder. "Brother Gou, what's going on with Chui Ming?"
Lee Bo asked softly. Xiao Gou was afraid of scaring Lee Bo, so he did not tell him the truth. "Ignore him. If things get out of hand, leave this classroom as soon as possible."
After saying that, Xiao Gou started to move to the next corner.
Perhaps it was the psychological effect, but Xiao Gou felt like his surroundings had darkened. It was like there was a black hole before him, sucking in everything that got close.
Using the wall as support, Xiao Gou slowly moved to the corner that Chen Ge had been standing at earlier. There was a shadow before him.
He walked closer and reached out his hand, but just as his hand was about to touch the shadow's shoulder, Xiao Gou realized something.
This round of the game started with Chen Ge, so the corner that Chen Ge had been standing at should have been empty!
Chen Ge had already moved to the next corner, so who was the person standing at this corner?
Fear rushed at him from all directions. Xiao Gou's hand stopped in midair, and he was suddenly reminded of something even scarier.
One round of the game had already started, but no one had coughed.
In other words, there was more than one ghost in this classroom!
His raised hand was unable to move; all of Xiao Gou's courage had been drained.
After some hesitation, he finally made a decision. He lightly touched the shoulder of the person in the corner and immediately took several steps back.
It was not until the person staggered away that Xiao Gou sighed in relief. He did not stay in the corner but carefully opened the back door at the back of the classroom that only the Haunted House workers knew about and hid inside it.
"I can't stay here any longer!"
Xiao Gou took out his phone to send a message to Lee Bo to inform him, but his boss's voice came through his earpiece. "Gou Hun, what are you doing? The visitor is still inside. I told you to go and scare him, so why did you come running out on your own? "
"Boss, listen to me, something is really different today!" Xiao Gou was explaining to his boss, but the game was still going on inside the classroom.
The sound of footsteps came from inside the classroom, and soon, Lee Bo felt someone pat him on his shoulder.
The honest fatty did not think too much about it and started to move forward.
However, when he reached the corner that Xiao Gou was standing at, he realized that the corner was empty.
"Brother Gou?" Lee Bo stood alone in the corner and paused for several seconds. Then, following the rules set by Chen Ge, he coughed lightly and continued to move to the next corner.
In the dark classroom, Lee Bo was panicking. He slowly approached the corner that Chen Ge was standing at, but when he got close, he realized that the corner was also empty!
"Where is everyone? Where's the visitor? "
With no idea what was happening, Lee Bo coughed drily and started to move to the next corner.
The classroom was so quiet that only his own heartbeat and footsteps could be heard.
When he reached the third corner, Lee Bo finally realized that something was wrong because there was no one in this corner.
"Where have they all gone?"
Lee Bo did not dare move. He wanted to contact Xiao Gou, but the latter did not reply to his message. He wanted to give up, but the words that Chen Ge had said kept appearing in his mind.
If you give up in the middle of the spirit summoning game, you will be visited by a baleful Specter in the middle of the night.
With that in mind, Lee Bo's hair stood on end, and he continued to move forward.
"How come it feels like I'm the only one left in the classroom?"
At the backdoor, Xiao Gou had just finished explaining to his boss and was about to reply to Lee Bo's message when he saw Lee Bo walking toward him through the window on the backdoor.
"No matter what, I can't continue playing this game anymore. When Lee Bo gets here, I'll call him away. That visitor will have to depend on his luck. Coincidentally, the boss wants to deal with him. "Xiao Gou gripped the door handle and saw Lee Bo walking toward him through the window.
He opened the backdoor a sliver, and when he was about to call out Lee Bo's name, a wave of cold air rushed to his head!
Xiao Gou could clearly see that behind Lee Bo, there were three swaying shadows trailing behind him!
They were following closely behind Lee Bo, and their footsteps matched Lee Bo's, but Lee Bo, who was walking in front, did not notice them at all!
"Three?!"
Falling to the ground, Xiao Gou kicked the ground with both of his legs, and he leaped backward, screaming, "Lee Bo! Run! "
The sudden voice gave Lee Bo a fright. He saw the backdoor open and Xiao Gou pointing behind him. He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.
The three shadows stuck close to him, and three different faces entered his eyes.
"The three of us, are you unfamiliar with us?"
The response to Chen Ge was an ear-piercing scream. This was the first time he had heard such a high-pitched scream from a boy's mouth.
Seeing the chubby body slam into the backdoor and shoot out like a cannonball, Chen Ge did not give chase.
He summoned back the Pen Spirit and Lao Zhou. He picked up the diary that had fallen to the ground and flipped to the third page.
At the end of the first diary entry, this was written. Four children were playing a game of four corners inside an abandoned classroom. The three older children purposely bullied the youngest child, causing an accident.
Then, all three of the older children disappeared. On the seventh day of the youngest child's death, his family found three straw dolls under his bed. On the back of the dolls were written — Chui Ming, Luo Hun, and Li Po.
The first diary entry is describing the first scenario, which is the game of four corners inside the abandoned classroom. Based on that, the second scenario should correspond to the second diary entry.
Sitting inside the eerie Haunted House scenario, Chen Ge started to read the second diary entry out of curiosity. There was a girl called Die who loved beauty. She fell in love with a boy, and to prevent her confession from being rejected, she decided to go ask the Pen Spirit.
"Pen Spirit?" Chen Ge stopped reading at this point, and his expression was strange. "The same theme, but hopefully, they can give me a different feeling here."
Without reading the other diary entries, Chen Ge walked out from the backdoor of the classroom.
"Should I go to the Pen Spirit scenario first or go to the doctor's to get some props?"
He looked down the dark corridor and shook his head. "Never mind, I'll just keep walking. I have to clear this Haunted House today."
