"The information of the supernatural phenomenon research society is in Mr. Bai's dormitory, and the dormitory and office building are in another corridor. The boss's design is obviously to split us up." Bai Buhui was very calm. "If the eleven of us stay together, even if we run into the workers, we won't be afraid, but once we're separated, we'll be easily taken down."
"Taken down one by one? We're just visiting a Haunted House. Everyone has a phone. If anything happens, we can just call each other to explain. " Lan Dong felt like Bai Buhui was being too careful. He did not look like he was visiting a Haunted House but more like he was gambling with his life.
He's too deep into character. Lan Dong silently labeled Lan Dong in his mind. He did not know the man's identity, and Liu Gang did not tell them about the futuristic theme park.
"When a person is scared, their brain will be temporarily confused. We've set our phone to a one-button dial so that even if we run into an accident, we can contact others immediately." Ah Li took out his phone and demonstrated. "We often do this when we go out to explore. There are also many defensive techniques. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
"Professional." Liu Gang was satisfied with Lan Dong and Ah Li. "Let's do as Xiao Dong says. The three of them, me, the cameraman, and the assistant, the six of us will go to the other corridor. The five of you will continue to search here."
Since Liu Gang had spoken, the others had no objections, and Bai Buhui could not argue with so many viewers.
"Don't waste time. The boss gave us sixty minutes, so let's try to clear the scenario in forty. I want to enjoy the boss' expression at the exit." Liu Gang then led Lan Dong's group back the way they came. "We've been here for so long, and we haven't even seen a ghost. Even if my friends don't feel bored, I do."
The camera followed Liu Gang closely, and they soon disappeared around the corner.
"That Lan Dong is so young, but he sure is cunning. He took away the chance to show his face in front of millions of people just like that." Sister Ghost rolled her eyes and pointed at Big Ghost and Small Ghost. "Why don't you say something? I was hoping to use Liu Gang's popularity to attract more viewers for our livestream, but look what happened! "
Without the camera, no one was so reserved, and they said whatever they wanted.
"Then shouldn't we continue exploring?" The bald security guard, Liu Guangming, was the most honest. He was the most innocent of the group. He did whatever his superior told him to do, and he did not think too much when he came to the Haunted House.
"Of course, we'll go look for those oil paintings now. If we find more oil paintings than Lan Dong, the viewers in the livestream will probably approve of us more." Sister Ghost adjusted her clothes. "To think that I dressed up today."
"Don't worry." Bai Buhui stopped Sister Ghost. "We'll go back the way we came and follow behind Liu Gang's group. If they run into something scary, we can stand out immediately."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Both Sister Ghost and Little Ghost felt that it was inappropriate.
"Liu Gang is livestreaming the whole thing. The camera is with them. You're dressed so hot today. Are you trying to show your skin to the ghosts?" Bai Buhui's words struck a chord in Sister Ghost's heart. "If the three of you want fame, following Liu Gang is the best choice. As long as we don't get discovered by them, we'll be fine."
Bai Buhui was a clever man. He knew how to make use of people's desires. "Furthermore, we can't count on those three kids. When they're scared out of their wits, the few of us will appear. Don't you think that'll be more interesting?"
"Impressive. We'll go back now and move as soon as possible, or else they'll get far away." Sister Ghost and the other two were convinced, and the security guard, Liu Guangming, had no choice but to agree.
The five of them left the club activity center. By then, the corridor outside was empty, and Liu Gang's group was nowhere to be seen.
"Don't get discovered by them. At the same time, pay attention to your surroundings. The boss is waiting for us to split up before he makes his move. Looking at the time, he should be making his move soon."
Bai Buhui and the other four returned the way they came. After turning the corner, they still did not see Liu Gang, but they could hear footsteps not far away.
"Let's maintain this distance."
Under the dim light, the footsteps came from the corridor. With the guidance of the footsteps, Bai Buhui slowly caught up to the people on the other side of the corridor.
…
"Achoo!"
The assistant sneezed. He hugged the phone and kept turning to look behind him.
"Brother Gang, Meng Nan, do you hear the footsteps behind us? It sounds like something is following us. "
"So be it. After all, we're inside a Haunted House. They won't eat you, will they?" Liu Gang was so focused on the chat that he did not pay attention to what the assistant said.
They returned to the junction and prepared to go down the right corridor when the male assistant suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with you now?"
"When we came earlier, I remember that the doors in the corridor were all open. We even went into the toilet, and I was the last one to come out. I remember very clearly that I did not close the door …" The assistant's eyes moved, and his face turned pale. "Brother Gang, look at the ground."
There were footprints and handprints on the dusty ground, as well as the marks of a ball rolling.
"There's really something following us. It's been following us!"
"What are you panicking for? We're inside a Haunted House. Isn't it normal for a Haunted House worker to follow us? These are all fake; they're not real ghosts. " Liu Gang used his shoes to step on the marks of the ball rolling on the ground. "It's obviously a prop. Do you think a real ghost will use its head to walk on the ground? Is there such a dumb ghost? "
"Perhaps the Haunted House worker made a mistake. It's normal for something like this to happen in a small Haunted House." Lan Dong smiled. "The footprints and handprints are different in size. They probably used a mold. If they're all real people, I'm afraid this Haunted House will lose money just from the salary alone."
With Lan Dong's insistence, the group entered the left corridor. After passing several empty classrooms, they followed the sign to find the male dormitory.
"Why is there a staircase? Is there another underground floor? "
The doors on the first floor were all closed. They came to the second floor, and they found a torn diary in the first room at the corner.
"Year X Month X Day, I lost a bet with my friend, so we came to this abandoned school to test our courage. The three of us had to play three games in total — Guess the Person Behind the Door, Sitting in Rows, and Inverted House.
"The first two games were played by my friend, and it went well. The last game was my turn."
