Bai Buhui was a strong-willed person. The tragedy of his childhood made him cold and selfish. Many friends who had worked with him said that he lacked humanity.
But a person like that, when he saw the field at the edge of the School of the Afterlife, his eyes started to mist.
In just ten minutes, Bai Buhui had experienced the baptism of at least ten ghost stories.
The school hospital filled with whispers and crying, the music room that was empty but kept making noise, the staircase that would add a step as he walked, the statue that blinked and cried, the canteen that smelled like meat, the human faces that hid under the toilet cubicles, and the footsteps that chased after him …
There were so many that he could not count them all.
Other Haunted Houses had set up scare points, but at this Haunted House, each ghost story contained several scare points. The scariest thing was that once one of the ghost stories was triggered, the ghosts in the ghost story would continue to chase after you like they would not stop until you were dead.
Bai Buhui had no idea how many things were chasing after him. His brain had stopped working, and he was relying solely on his willpower.
"The wishing well!"
As the designer of the futuristic theme park, he did not want to admit defeat.
He would rather find the exit himself than accept the humiliation of being sent out by someone else.
"I'm almost there!"
Using all the energy he had, Bai Buhui rushed across the field. The classic scene from The Shawshank Redemption appeared in his mind.
Freedom is before me. At that moment, I am my own hero.
He had never run so fast before. He ran across the field and crawled next to the well.
This was an old well that was slanted. There was a safety rope tied to the side of the well, and there was a bucket tied to the end of the rope.
Bai Buhui looked into the well, and he could see a faint red glow at the bottom.
"It should be … here."
With his palms pressed together, Bai Buhui sincerely made a wish. "I wish to leave this Haunted House."
Then he tossed a coin into the well. Soon, there was a sound. The well was not as deep as he thought.
"Screw it!"
Life or death depended on this gamble. Bai Buhui grabbed the safety rope and slowly entered the well.
…
"Why isn't Bai Buhui answering his phone? What is the kid trying to do? "Liu Gang's voice came from under the table.
"Could they have escaped already? From the first time I met him, I felt that he wasn't very reliable. He spoke in a weird way and ignored everyone. "The cameraman Meng Nan's voice came from under another table.
"I purposely came here to help the futuristic theme park. If this b * stard dares to abandon me and escape on his own, I will teach him a lesson in the future." Liu Gang was very angry. "But you're not any better. You contacted my assistant without telling me, and as the cameraman, you even threw the camera away."
"I was forced to do that!"
"Creak …"
The wooden door was pushed open. Hearing the sound, Liu Gang and Meng Nan shut their mouths at the same time.
"Brother Gang, come out. The headless woman hasn't chased after us." Ah Li ran into the room. "We should hurry to the library."
"I can't get through to everyone's phones. I really don't know what they are doing." Liu Gang took out his phone and sent a group message. "The exit is behind the mirror on the second floor of the library. Those who receive this message, come over immediately!"
"I've done my best. If they don't want to come, then it has nothing to do with me." Liu Gang patted the dust off his clothes and crawled out from under the table. "Let's not wait for them. We'll go over first."
The three squeezed together, and as they pushed the door open, Meng Nan yelped.
"What's wrong?"
"The mannequin is following us again!"
Meng Nan pointed outside the door. There was a mannequin standing at the corner of the corridor. His head was perched on his shoulders, and his black eyes stared at Liu Gang's group.
"I feel like he's looking at me. His eyes seem to be following us."
"Lan Dong has disappeared, so why is this ghost baby still following us?" Meng Nan sucked in a cold breath.
"Ignore him. Let's go to the library first!" Ah Li was not that afraid of the ghost baby. No matter how scary the ghost baby was, at least everyone could see him.
In his sight, a thin male student would appear out of nowhere, and he seemed to be the only one who could see this ghost.
Following the ghost baby's appearance were the barking of dogs and the sound of crying.
The actors at the Haunted House did not seem to have a set location, and they could move freely.
This was what worried Liu Gang the most. After all, the number of visitors was decreasing, and the number of actors around each visitor would increase.
"My head hurts." Many unfamiliar images appeared in Ah Li's memory like he had lived here before. When he slowly got used to this feeling, Liu Gang and Meng Nan felt like Ah Li was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
However, none of them pointed that out. They felt like as long as they could escape, all the problems would be solved.
They ran down the corridor, and the shadows that flashed around the corner made them shiver. The scariest thing was that occasionally, there would be strands of black hair that fell from above their heads, but when they lifted their heads to look, they could not see anything.
The three were in a hurry to escape, so they did not care about these details. They placed all their hope on the hidden path that the male assistant had mentioned.
"We're here! The library is up ahead! "
From far away, Meng Nan saw the sign on the wall, and the three of them ran as fast as they could.
"Close the door! Close the door! "
To buy time for themselves, Liu Gang and Meng Nan closed the wooden door of the library and used the chairs to block the door.
"We'll go to the second floor together! My assistant and the two students should be hiding here! "Liu Gang called his assistant's name several times, but there was no answer.
They hurried to the stairs inside the library and realized that the stairs led downward.
"The second floor that my assistant mentioned, is it the second underground floor?" Looking at the dark staircase, Liu Gang hesitated, but at that moment, a banging sound came from the library door like someone was using their head to knock on the door.
"The thing from the Haunted House is here! Is it the ghost baby? Or the headless woman? "The few panicked. They could clearly see blood seeping out from the gap of the door.
The banging sound grew louder, and the wooden chairs that blocked the door started to shake.
"Quick! We can't stay here! "After Meng Nan said that, he was the first to rush into the second underground floor.
The eerie underground was lined with rows of bookshelves, but there was no mirror.
"Brother Gang, have we been tricked? Why would there be a mirror in the library? "
"What's the point of saying that now? Let's go find it! "Liu Gang was also panicking. The mirror was their only hope.
The three of them ran down the second underground floor, and the shaking above them grew louder!
"Has the Haunted House lost its mind? To recreate the scenario, they really built such a large underground library? " Meng Nan grabbed a random book from the bookshelf. The cover of the book was stained with blood, and the inside was soaked in blood. He could not open it no matter how hard he tried. "This is crazy."
He was about to put the book back when he saw something in the gap behind the book. Meng Nan bent down to look, and a blood red eye flashed behind the bookshelf.
"F * ck!" His body lost balance and fell backward. Just as his head was about to knock into the bookshelf behind him, something caught him.
Meng Nan subconsciously turned around to look. Behind him, there was a greyish white arm extending out from the gap of the bookshelf, 5 pale white fingers pressing on his neck.
The chill seeped into his bones, and Meng Nan felt like his spine was creaking like it was going to crack.
"Ah!"
Meng Nan screamed and crawled on the ground.
The commotion was loud, and he seemed to have accidentally broken some kind of taboo. Perhaps it was because the library forbade loud noises, many gray arms reached out from the bookshelf, and some of them were wearing Mu Yang High School's uniform.
"What's going on?" Liu Gang dropped his image and crawled to the ground, trying to find a place to hide.
"Bang!"
Another loud crash came from the first underground floor. It was probably the door of the library being knocked open.
Several seconds later, a face appeared on the stairs. Ghost Child appeared in the stairwell, and behind him was a large black dog.
"Run!"
Meng Nan screamed, but the library was only so big, and there was nowhere to run.
The few of them hid in the last row of the library. Perhaps it was true that there was always a way out. They actually found a mirror that was placed against the wall.
"This is it!"
They had been saved! The joy was indescribable!
It was as if in the deepest despair, they had found the most beautiful accident!
"Quick!"
Ah Li pushed the mirror open, and behind it was a path that led downward. At the end of the path was a heavily damaged iron door.
"A secret passage!"
Tears of excitement appeared in the three's eyes. Only those who had experienced it would understand this feeling.
Running down the stairs, they were getting closer and closer to the door of hope.
The crying and barking faded away, and Liu Gang, who ran at the front, finally reached the door handle.
"It's over!"
Pushing the iron door open, the stench of blood rushed into his nostrils! A viscous fog covered his whole body!
When Liu Gang opened his eyes, he saw a world that was completely red!
