In the narrow bathroom, Ruan Guangjian felt his entire body trembling. His legs were weak, and his heart was racing. He even screamed uncontrollably.
He had to admit that this immersion was incomparable to a horror game!
Ruan Guangjian had screamed the entire time in Be Quiet.
She could yell throughout "Be Quiet," but her yelling was reduced here. It wasn't because it wasn't scary, but because her yelling had been suppressed.
There were no scary ghosts in this bathroom so far. Ruan Guangjian could not find the opportunity to scream even if he wanted to.
However, from the moment he stepped through the door, the terrifying atmosphere had been increasing his psychological pressure!
When he first entered, Ruan Guangjian saw a dirty bathroom under the dim yellow light.
There seemed to be dark red blood stains in the shadows that the light could not reach. However, he could not see clearly.
The floor, toilet bowl, and sink were all covered with a layer of greasy dirt. It made the entire place look even more dilapidated, filthy, and terrifying.
Close the door.
Lock the door.
Turn off the lights.
Light the candle and place it in front of the mirror.
Every step required great courage. Every step was challenging one's bottom line.
Closing and locking the door would hint to the visitors that they were locked up with the ghosts. That would strengthen the feeling that there was nowhere to escape. Turning off the lights would further restrict the visitors' vision. In the darkness, they could only rely on the weak light from the candle.
Ruan Guangjian screamed involuntarily when he saw himself in the mirror. That was because half of his face was hidden in the shadows under the candlelight. It was indescribably scary.
After screaming, Ruan Guangjian gradually calmed down.
"What should I do next …?
"That's right. Cover your eyes for more than three seconds and then look at the mirror."
Ruan Guangjian took a deep breath, covered his eyes, and counted to three. Then, he opened his eyes.
His pupils constricted!
There was nothing in the mirror.
Including himself!
Only the candle was still burning silently. The Ruan Guangjian in the mirror seemed to have disappeared!
Before Ruan Guangjian could react to what had happened, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the mirror. The eyes opened, and two streaks of bloody tears flowed!
The two streaks of bloody tears flowed very quickly. They were not just images in the mirror. They even seeped out from the bottom of the mirror and dripped onto the sink!
"Ah!!!"
…
Outside, everyone heard an extremely tragic scream.
Pei Qian could not help but clutch his chest.
He, who was not involved, did not think that the haunted house was that scary. Now, he felt that Ruan Guangjian's screams were scarier.
Pei Qian could not stand it anymore. He said, "If you see that he is about to die, quickly go in and bring him out."
Everyone nodded in agreement. All of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, waiting to rescue Ruan Guangjian immediately.
…
After screaming, Ruan Guangjian quickly calmed down.
He turned on the tap and began to wash his hands.
However, what flowed out of the faucet was not clear water, but a slightly viscous red liquid!
Ruan Guangjian let out another short scream and quickly pulled his hand back.
Strangely, when he looked at his hands under the candlelight, there were no traces of blood on them.
He quickly turned off the tap, and after some mental preparation, he lay in the bathtub.
He lay there for more than ten seconds, but nothing happened.
Only then did he realize that he had missed a step.
There was a rusty timer beside the bathtub. Ruan Guangjian searched for it and then pressed it gently. The timer immediately made clicking sounds, and the hands started to move.
In the quiet bathroom, the monotonous sound was like a steel file, constantly filing against Ruan Guangjian's fragile nerves.
He covered his eyes tightly with both hands, remembering the instructions and not making a single sound.
Amidst the clicking sounds, time passed second by second.
Ruan Guangjian had thought that he would only have to endure for three minutes and wait for the clicking sounds to disappear.
However, it was obvious that he was wrong.
The sound of a key being inserted came from the locked door. Ruan Guangjian could even hear that the keyhole had been inserted.
The person outside the door tried many times but still could not open the door because the latch had fallen.
Then, a heavy knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
One hit after another made Ruan Guangjian's heart beat faster, and his body trembled. He could only change his position, covering his eyes with one hand and his mouth with the other to prevent himself from making a sound.
Suddenly, the knocking sound stopped, as if the person outside the door had given up.
Although he knew it was fake, Ruan Guangjian could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
However, just as he was about to relax, the latch suddenly made a "click" sound, followed by a "creak" sound.
The latch had been opened for some unknown reason, and the door had been pushed open!
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. It was as if someone wearing boots had stepped into the narrow bathroom!
He was breathing heavily, as if he was looking around for something. His leather boots made a muffled sound as he stepped on the ground, but there was also a splashing sound, as if the soles of the boots were stained with sticky blood.
Behind him, there was a very ear-piercing friction sound, as if some metal object was being dragged on the ground.
It was probably a large ax or hammer.
Ruan Guangjian continued to cover his eyes and mouth, not daring to make a sound.
"Pa."
The light was on, and the dim light shone through Ruan Guangjian's fingers onto his eyelids, making him feel as if his vision had brightened.
The footsteps of the person outside had stopped, but the sound of his breathing was not far away.
The shower curtain was slowly, very slowly pulled open.
The heavy breathing seemed to be closer, and Ruan Guangjian even had an illusion that the person's breath seemed to be blowing on his hands …
"Click."
The rusty timer stopped, which meant that the three-minute countdown was up.
According to the instructions, this should be considered as the challenge completed, and he only needed to open his eyes and leave.
However, Ruan Guangjian did not dare to open his eyes, because he did not hear the footsteps leaving. The person seemed to be still standing by the bathtub, quietly holding the ax high, watching him …
After waiting for a full minute, Ruan Guangjian finally secretly opened his fingers a little, and carefully looked out.
Under the dim yellow light, everything was the same, and the murderer holding the ax high did not appear.
Ruan Guangjian let out a long breath. He climbed out of the bathtub, and because his legs were weak, he could only move step by step to the door.
The latch was intact, and it had not been opened.
Ruan Guangjian quickly pulled the latch, and pulled the door inward, ready to go out.
However, at some point in time, there was a fresh bloody handprint on the outside of the door, as well as a blood-stained axe!
"Ah!!!"
…
Everyone outside was filled with guilt.
Chen Kangtuo had been very worried the entire time, afraid that Ruan Guangjian would be scared to death.
This big shot was Boss Pei's good friend after all. He had been drawing for Tengda since the Ghost General project, and one could say that he had witnessed Tengda's rise.
One could also say that Ruan Guangjian's original arts had given Tengda's games a soul to a certain extent!
If such a big shot was scared to death in Thriller Hostel, Pei Qian would not be able to bear the responsibility!
Even Pei Qian was reflecting on whether he had gone a little overboard.
"Ai, there's no end to an eye for an eye. I'll forgive him on account of how scared he was."
"In any case, I've gotten my revenge this time. I can temporarily move his name back in my notebook."
Seeing that Ruan Guangjian had indeed been scared in the end, everyone quickly went up to him.
"Are you alright?"
"You weren't scared, were you?"
"Quick, quick, quick, Big Shot, please take a seat."
Like stars surrounding the moon, they made Ruan Guangjian sit beside them.
Concerned, Pei Qian asked, "How was it? Are you alright?"
Ruan Guangjian's face was rosy, and he looked energetic. "Boss Pei, your haunted house is … amazing!"
He gave a thumbs-up. "Are there any other projects? I want to come again! "
Pei Qian looked confused as a question mark slowly floated above his head.
？
At that moment, Ruan Guangjian's eyes were shining. It was as if he had been reborn. He had not been this excited even when he was drawing!
At that moment, Pei Qian felt like he had been tricked.
Didn't you say that you were most afraid of haunted houses?
Why are you yelling 'I want to come again' then?
Shouldn't normal people not want to enter again after entering once?
What's more, other people's faces were pale and their legs were trembling. You, on the other hand, not only did you look rosy and energetic, but you were also in good spirits. It was as if you wanted to jump three feet high!
This scene caused everyone present to freeze.
It had to be said that Boss Pei's reaction was the fastest.
Pei Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear? Arrange for the remaining two projects as well! "
…
…
"Boss Pei, I'm on the plane.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality during this period. Whether it was the roller coaster when I first came or the haunted house at the end, they left a deep and unforgettable impression on me!
"The haunted house has given me another reason to move to Jingzhou. Once I go back, I will immediately prepare for the relocation of the studio. I hope that Boss Pei can speed up the progress of the haunted house. I can't wait to experience the third big project of the haunted house!
"See you after the New Year!"
Pei Qian leaned back in his chair as he looked at Ruan Guangjian's message. His hands fell to his sides.
"I'm so angry!"
Pei Qian felt like blood was stuck in his chest.
When he came, he wanted to put Ruan Guangjian in his place. In the end, Ruan Guangjian had a good time.
When he left, he wanted to put Ruan Guangjian in his place. In the end, Ruan Guangjian had a good time!
Back then, even when Teacher Qiao came to Jingzhou, Boss Pei had not suffered such a huge setback.
The most infuriating thing was that Ruan Guangjian was obviously scared out of his wits when he tried the first project. He screamed and trembled. After coming out, nothing happened to him. He even said that he wanted to experience the other projects!
Thus, Pei Qian immediately made arrangements for the remaining two projects.
Ruan Guangjian's reaction was still the same. He panicked during the experience and felt like he was going to faint at any time. However, after coming out, he immediately jumped around and wanted to do it again!
The three projects that Pei Qian had spent a month on were all defeated by Ruan Guangjian in just one hour.
Pei Qian had no other choice but to let Ruan Guangjian leave. He was helpless.
This feeling was as if he had arranged eighty-one difficulties for Tripiṭaka to go to the West on a pilgrimage. In the end, Tripiṭaka reached the West in three days and said, "That's it?"
This was intolerable!
"Just you wait. When my Thriller Hostel becomes complete, you'll be so scared that you'll have to lean on the wall!"
Pei Qian said hatefully.
