More than an hour later …
Teacher Qiao's last fan left the 'Haunted House Nightmare' project with a pale face.
They looked at the resting area again.
Big Boss Ruan's face was rosy, and he was talking and laughing. He even wanted to do it again.
The others were lying on the chairs, some looking up at the sky, and some with dull eyes as if they had lost their souls.
As for Qiao Liang … his face was pale, and he was stuffing chocolate candy into his mouth one by one.
A pale brother next to him raised his hand weakly and stopped him. "Old Qiao, stop eating. You'll get diabetes if you eat any more …"
Qiao Liang turned a deaf ear and did not even have the strength to speak.
Everyone saw the last fan who came out and was swaying because his legs were weak.
Everyone saw each other's state. Even the stupidest person was sure of one thing.
They were fooled!
Obviously, the only reason why Teacher Qiao's fan team was completely annihilated was because a mole had sneaked in and led everyone into the enemy's ambush!
Big Boss Ruan had the cheek to say that he was timid? Afraid?
Other than screaming a lot, how was he afraid?!
Everyone saw Ruan Guangjian screaming all the way and successfully clearing the stage. They had an illusion that this project did not seem that scary.
Qiao Liang did not say a word after entering, which strengthened everyone's opinion.
However, it was all an illusion!
It was not that Qiao Liang was not afraid, but he was terrified. He lay in the bathtub, trembling, not daring to make a sound. When he reached the bottom of the bed, he was so scared that his legs went soft. He could not get out at all and had to be helped out by the staff.
After coming out, he was so scared that he was dizzy. He stuffed chocolate candy into his mouth, and his mind was blank.
Ruan Guangjian was a little strange. "Eh? Did no one pass? Doesn't that mean no one can go to the next project with me? "
Everyone: "…"
Have some shame!
Qiao Liang, especially, almost fainted from anger.
Boss Pei could tolerate such a person? He could even be friends with him?
How broad-minded was Boss Pei?!
Ruan Guangjian's current state was that of wailing after the exam. He ran over with the test paper that had scored 100 points and asked, "Hey, the questions this time are quite easy. Why didn't everyone pass?"
It was the especially sincere kind, which was even more infuriating!
Of course, there were other reasons why Qiao Liang was angry.
He was very puzzled. How could there be such a big gap between people?
Why was this person able to clear the level while I was scared to death and had to be dragged out by the staff?
However, looking at Ruan Guangjian's infuriating 'excellent student expression', Qiao Liang suddenly had an idea.
You are indeed not afraid of Haunted House Nightmare, but … what about Ultimate Horror?
On the leaflet, it was written that the Haunted House Nightmare was a Medium Level Scare. If it was already so scary, then how scary would the Ultimate Horror be if it said 'Don't go'?
After playing so many games with Boss Pei, the thing that Qiao Liang was most certain of was that he had to listen to the opposite of what Boss Pei said. However, when Boss Pei said that the game was difficult and torturous, he had to believe him!
One mustn't be stubborn, otherwise, one would definitely be taught a lesson.
At that thought, Qiao Liang changed his expression. "Big Boss Ruan is too awesome! He hid his strength well! Since I've gotten the ticket to enter the Ultimate Horror, I definitely have to experience it, right? "
Ruan Guangjian was a little hesitant. "But, no one has gotten the ticket. No one wants to go with me.
Why don't I wait here for a while, and you guys go in again? Once we get the ticket, we can go together … "
Qiao Liang quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no! There's really no need!
I'm not in good shape today. I've been staying in Jingzhou for the past few days. Let's choose another day.
More importantly, Brother Ruan, shouldn't you work hard to be the first person to clear the Ultimate Horror? "
Ruan Guangjian hesitated. "But, if I go alone, I'll be very scared …"
Qiao Liang: "…"
As if I'll believe you!
You say that you're scared and shout louder than anyone else. Yet, you remember all the steps accurately and carry them out without missing a single step? You're even glowing after coming out?
Qiao Liang sniggered. "It's alright, I believe you can do it! Let's go, we'll go with you and cheer you on! "
Ruan Guangjian was very moved. "Alright, since Brother Qiao trusts me so much, I'll risk my life!"
Everyone left the Haunted House Nightmare, went around the Golden Maze, and advanced towards the Ultimate Horror.
Qiao Liang's cold limbs finally improved when he walked outside and was bathed in the sun.
At the same time, his empty brain could finally recall the previous experience.
Qiao Liang realized that it was not because his group was too weak, but because the Haunted House Nightmare was too scary!
Other haunted houses would basically make the scene pitch-black. From time to time, they would make strange noises and jump out to scare you. They mainly relied on the sudden unknown fear.
However, the Haunted House Nightmare was completely different. It was more like an 'overt plot', a psychological war!
The visibility of the scene was not considered low. In fact, they had already explained everything in advance so that they could rehearse what was going to happen next in their hearts.
However, this did not help to reduce the fear at all!
To make an inappropriate analogy, an ordinary haunted house was like watching a horror movie. The sudden appearance of a human head and a lot of blood would bring a strong visual impact to the audience. One would be scared for a moment, but this fear would gradually fade after watching the movie.
The Haunted House Nightmare, on the other hand, was like a person who had just finished watching a horror movie and was forced to walk out of the house. Under the dim yellow street lights and the dim moonlight, he came to a strange place.
There were no scary things that suddenly appeared, and there were no ghostly cries. There was only silence. However, one would keep looking back, wanting to confirm if there was a mysterious black shadow behind him. The more he looked back, the more flustered he became. The more flustered he was, the more afraid he became. He wanted to run, but he did not dare to. He could only collapse under this increasingly heavy psychological pressure.
As a person who liked to analyze, Qiao Liang naturally made these analyses after he calmed down.
At the same time, he was even more certain of one thing.
Ruan Guangjian was too despicable!
There was definitely a big problem with this person to be able to persist in such a terrifying place and remember all the steps to clear it!
When they arrived at the entrance of the Ultimate Horror, Ruan Guangjian once again put on a 'hero will never return' expression.
"Brother Qiao, I'm going!"
Qiao Liang would not be deceived at all. He said hypocritically, "Yes, come on, we will all support you!"
After Ruan Guangjian showed the staff the admission ticket and walked into the dark entrance, everyone's tensed faces finally returned to normal.
Qiao Liang laughed. "How dare you trick us! Look at how I, Teacher Qiao, tricked you back with just a few words! How long do you think he can last in there? "
The fans looked at each other with different expressions.
"Don't underestimate him. He kept screaming before, but he could still persevere … I think it will take at least ten minutes this time."
"I don't believe it! The difficulty of this level is marked 'don't go'. It's a level higher than the previous one. How can he come out unscathed? That would be looking down on Boss Pei! "
"Come, come, come. Words are no proof. Let's guess. Whoever loses will treat us to a meal!"
Everyone stood at the entrance. Since they had nothing to do, they decided to play a guessing game with prizes.
Qiao Liang began to analyze. "At present, the large haunted houses in the world take more than half an hour to play. Any shorter and I'll be sorry for the ticket price."
"I think the whole process will take about half an hour since this place is so big."
"Let's guess how long it will take for him to come out!"
"Less than twenty minutes, or more than twenty minutes, including passing!"
The fans started to use their brains, trying hard to analyze for the sake of not treating at night.
"I choose to believe in Boss Pei. Boss Pei's' Ultimate Horror 'must be terrifying. I guess less than twenty minutes!"
"I think less than twenty minutes too."
The fans all chose to wait less than 20 minutes.
After that, everyone looked at Qiao Liang, waiting for his speculation.
Qiao Liang pondered for a moment. "Of course, I believe in Boss Pei and believe that the 'Ultimate Horror' must be terrifying. However, in my opinion, Ruan Guangjian cannot be judged by common sense. "
"Everyone underestimated him before. That's why they learned such a big lesson and got wiped out in the 'Haunted House Nightmare'."
"This time, I guess he will last more than twenty minutes and even pass!"
Everyone took out their cell phones and looked at the countdown while waiting for Ruan Guangjian to come out.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes.
The more time passed, the more confident Qiao Liang became. The way he looked at the others became more and more like he was looking at a group of meal tickets.
He had already lasted for fifteen minutes. That meant that Ruan Guangjian was gradually getting used to the horror inside.
Wouldn't it be a piece of cake if he just held on for a little longer and lasted for twenty minutes?
The corners of Qiao Liang's mouth could not help but curve as he looked at the increasingly anxious expressions of the 'meal tickets'. He stared at the countdown on his cell phone, waiting for the twenty minutes to pass so that he could announce his victory.
However, just as the countdown reached seventeen minutes, the 'meal tickets' let out a cheer.
"He's out, he's out!"
"Less than twenty minutes!"
"Old Qiao is treating us!"
？
Qiao Liang looked up in disbelief and saw Ruan Guangjian walking out calmly with a ruddy face.
Indeed, only seventeen minutes had passed!
Seeing that the 'meal tickets' were about to start celebrating, Qiao Liang quickly shouted, "Wait!
"My previous option was that twenty minutes and above includes passing. If that's the case, I still win!"
The fans were stunned.
"What the f * ck? Old Qiao, you're cheating! You're playing word games! "
"You can't do that! It was clearly less than twenty minutes!"
Qiao Liang chuckled. "The number of twenty minutes was originally estimated based on the entire process taking more than thirty minutes. To put it bluntly, you guessed that he couldn't complete the entire process, but I guessed that he could.
"Now that he passed the stage so quickly, it's obvious that people are more optimistic about him. I guessed right!"
The fans were speechless.
Qiao Liang was very proud. He felt that he was absolutely accurate no matter if it was his analysis or his judgment of people!
This Ruan Guangjian definitely could not be judged by common sense. Looking at his steady steps and ruddy face, he did not look like he had been overly frightened inside at all. He had obviously passed the stage too quickly!
These 'meal tickets' want to fight with me? They're too inexperienced!
One of the 'meal tickets' went up to him. "Big Boss! Did you really pass the stage? "
Qiao Liang sneered in his heart. This was simply a stubborn resistance! Sore losers!
Look at Ruan Guangjian's expression. What's there to doubt?
However, Ruan Guangjian smiled slightly. "I didn't pass the stage. I only passed half of it."
Qiao Liang, "??"
Among the ecstatic fans was a dumbfounded and confused Teacher Qiao.
"W-why?" Qiao Liang could not accept this fact.
Ruan Guangjian smiled and said, "Oh, actually, I wanted to pass the stage. However, this project can actually be saved! The next time I come, I can continue to play from the place where I saved it!
"I feel that I can't bear to complete such a fun project in one go. I want to save it and experience the most exciting part next time."
Qiao Liang, "???"
What the f * ck do you mean save it?!
You can't bear to finish all the delicious food in one go, so you want to save it up, right?
Should I praise you for being quite thrifty?
Qiao Liang's analysis was all right, but the result was wrong.
The fans' analysis was all wrong, but the result was right!
What kind of haunted house could save? It was obviously not a proper haunted house!
Qiao Liang did not know whether he should blame Boss Pei or Ruan Guangjian.
He only knew that his wallet was going to bleed today …
