The small figure's heart-wrenching scream finally woke his boss up from his joy.
"A Red Specter?"
As a Haunted House boss, he knew many legends about Red Specters. Only those with the deepest resentment and those who had been tortured before their death would have the chance to become a Red Specter.
Whether it was real or not, that was what many movies and ghost stories said.
"A Red Specter has appeared in my Haunted House? And he's not an actor that I've hired? " That was how things were, but it was very difficult to understand it completely. Some things could only be experienced personally in order to understand what kind of despair it was.
"Xiao Zhao, don't panic. I'll call someone over now! I don't care what he is, but he's in my territory, so he has to follow my rules. Even if he's a tiger, he'll have to lie down … "
The call was hung up by the small figure. He did not have the time to listen to his boss's nonsense.
Down the dark and narrow corridor, the small figure ran as fast as he could. This was the first time he realized how scary the Haunted House he worked at was.
The originally familiar environment had now become unfamiliar. The props and traps along the way seemed to be covered with a thin layer of blood. All the audio playback devices seemed to have malfunctioned as well. The static sound of electricity kept ringing out, and there seemed to be some painful wails and whispers mixed in.
The backstage appeared to be playing a recording that had been taken from a murder scene. The despair and pain spread throughout the Haunted House, tormenting everyone's ears and stimulating their hearts. Their minds were on the verge of collapse.
"What's going on? What the hell was going on?! Why does it feel like the whole building has come alive? Why does it feel like the building is going to eat us? "
The small voice screamed desperately. He was helpless.
"You ask me, but who should I ask? I came all the way from Jiujiang to visit your Haunted House. I wanted to relax by visiting a Haunted House, but you've created a real ghost for me! " Chen Ge realized that the small figure was running too slowly. If this continued, even if Xu Yin purposely went easy on him, he would be caught. Therefore, he picked the man up.
"Don't move! Where is the exit of your Haunted House? "
"The elevator! The elevator is the only exit! There are a few floors that can only be accessed by swiping an employee ID. Those are the exits! "
The short voice was grabbed by Chen Ge's clothes. He looked like a human-shaped leather bag. His body was suspended in the air and he screamed.
"Got it!" Chen Ge memorized this information and decisively rushed to the elevator in the middle of the first floor. He pressed the elevator button with all his might, but the elevator stopped at the basement floor and refused to come up!
"What's going on! Is there something wrong with the elevator? "
"Impossible! The boss is worried that accidents might happen in the haunted house, so the elevators are inspected and maintained every day! "
"Then tell me why it doesn't come up!" Chen Ge sounded impatient as if he was about to break down. "Are there any other employees in B1? Are they using the elevator? "
"No, I'm the only employee at B1. Normally, that scenario is not used. Today, it's mainly because we need to receive …" The small figure suddenly stopped, and the fear in his eyes intensified. "Wait a minute, the elevator hasn't come up yet, which means that someone has been pressing the elevator button at B1. Could it be that there is more than one ghost in this basement?"
The short man was scared by his own thought. He did not need make-up, and his face was pale.
"If there's a ghost controlling the elevator, then this exit is no longer safe. After all, if the ghost can control the elevator, then they might appear inside the elevator as well!"
The elevator was a completely enclosed space. The short man could not imagine running into a ghost inside the elevator.
"Then, what do you think we should do now?"
"Run! Find other people! There should be more of us! " The short man was really panicking. He had personally witnessed the whole process of Xu Yin's appearance. The shocking image was stuck in his mind, and he would probably wake up from his dreams in the future.
There was no better solution. With the Red Specter closing in, Chen Ge had no choice but to grab the backpack and the short man and run to the nearest scenario.
He kicked the door open, and the sound of a piano drifted into his ears. The sound was very sad, like something bad had happened to the player.
"Should we find a place to hide?" Being carried by Chen Ge, the short man finally had the time to think.
"Are you sure? In many horror movies, the side characters die because they are stupid enough to find a blind spot to hide in. "In terms of being chased by ghosts, Chen Ge had a lot of experience.
When the two conversed, the sound of blood dripping appeared in their ears. The dripping sound was like the sound of death.
It was too late to escape now. With the signal from the short man, Chen Ge hid behind the piano.
The smell of blood thickened. Through the gap under the piano, Chen Ge and the short man saw a pair of blood red shoes.
Despair spread. As if sensing that someone had entered the room, the sound of the piano became more intense.
The lonely melody drifted into Xu Yin's ears, and the sadness in his eyes became more obvious. He turned to look at the door.
On the door, there were four words — Music Classroom.
There were many kinds of musical instruments in the dim classroom, and the most eye-catching one was the piano in the middle of the room. There was a rope dangling above the piano seat like someone had stepped on the edge of the piano to hang themselves.
As the melody changed, the rope that dangled above the piano started to shake on its own like the spirits of the dead had returned.
Blood flowed, and Xu Yin stopped before the piano. He reached out to pull away the rope and sat down on the chair before the piano.
After a moment's silence, his hands landed on the keys like he was recalling the memory that was buried deep in his heart.
The bloody fingers moved over the black and white keys, and a different melody started to play in the classroom.
It was like a stream, like moonlight, like a dream that could not be grasped no matter what.
Chen Ge, who hid behind the piano, looked at Xu Yin. He felt like he still did not understand Xu Yin well enough. This special Red Specter was still hiding many things in his heart.
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll buy a piano for Xu Yin. I feel like he can use this method to 'narrate' the things in his heart."
When the short man was scared half to death, Chen Ge took out his phone to search for the price of a normal piano. He flipped through a few pages before putting his phone away. "Pianos bought from outside might not be good. I think this piano from Nightmare Academy is quite good."
"Shush, don't talk." The short man held onto Chen Ge tightly. He treated Chen Ge as his teammate, but he probably would never know what his teammate was thinking.
Halfway through the piano, blood suddenly seeped out from under the black and white keys. Upon closer inspection, this strange 'blood' was not as thick as real blood.
Soon, the keys lost control and started to play a strange melody on their own. Xu Yin, who sat next to the piano, was startled. Then, he heard the sound of crying coming from inside the piano.
