"Eyes, there are eyes!" the girl exclaimed in terror, pointing ahead.
Just moments ago, amidst the fluttering white cloth, she had seen a pair of red eyes.
As if appearing out of thin air!
Her boyfriend subtly rubbed his arm where she had pinched him, and comforted her,
"It's probably a staff member, don't be scared, don't be scared."
Shen Jie also chimed in, "It's fine, let's hurry and find the key to get out."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin walked over, "I found the key."
"Huh?"
The group looked over in unison.
They saw Jiang Lin emerge from behind a sheet of white cloth, holding a red key in his hand.
Shen Jie exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, your speed is incredible, where did you find it?"
Jiang Lin pointed behind him, "Got it from a staff member."
Behind him, the white cloth fluttered.
Revealing a 'female ghost' in white with disheveled hair.
The 'female ghost' was still in the pose of having her hand pried open, frozen in surprise.
Like a tool person providing a key.
But…
She was supposed to wait until she had scared them a few times, and the tourists were getting anxious, before she silently revealed herself.
Big brother, can you give the staff a little face?
Who directly snatches keys from ghosts like this?
…
"Pfft~"
Someone couldn't help but chuckle first.
It was still a creepy scene,
But for some reason, it suddenly didn't feel scary anymore.
The others, though they didn't laugh out loud, couldn't help but smile.
Suo Da patted Shen Jie on the shoulder, "Your brother here is too funny."
He had never seen anyone play a haunted house like this before.
However, filming it was a form of reverse prank.
Right, maybe he could do a video like this in the future.
—Not pranking, not being scared. Just being straightforward.
The more Suo Da thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Jiang Lin: "?"
Shen Jie coughed twice, "Brother Jiang, let's get out of here quickly. Fang Mu and the others are probably almost out."
…
After unlocking the door with the key, they found two passages to the left and right.
The passages glowed with an eerie green light.
In the reflection of the green light, large patches of red bloodstains could be seen splattered.
Gurgle—gurgle—gurgle—
The sound of a chainsaw came from the right passage.
Around the corner, a huge shadow could be vaguely seen, approaching with a weapon.
Gurgle—gurgle—gurgle—
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the five of them ran towards the opposite path.
In the dark passage, screams could be heard from a distance from time to time.
Whether it was for dramatic effect, or because later tourists were genuinely scared.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle—
The sound of the chainsaw behind them grew louder.
Looking back, they saw a blood-covered figure dressed as a butcher.
Wielding a chainsaw, chasing closer and closer.
"Quick, he's catching up!"
"Ah—"
The boyfriend pulled his girlfriend along as they ran. She stumbled, almost falling.
As soon as she looked up, she saw a disheveled female ghost falling from the ceiling.
Her hair landed directly on her face.
"Waaahhhhhh—"
She pushed her boyfriend away and scrambled to the front of the group.
—When people are truly scared, they don't have time for coyness.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire space became tense.
Sometimes, even knowing it's fake,
Under the combined stimulation of sight, touch, and hearing,
It can make people involuntarily recall things, leading to fear and some stress responses.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the sound of the chainsaw behind them finally stopped.
Shen Jie panted, looking around, "Why is someone missing?"
At some point, Suo Da had disappeared.
Jiang Lin looked at the young couple and said, "There are two of them."
Two?
The group looked at each other. Due to the dim light, they could only see blurry figures.
One, two, three, four.
There were indeed four people.
The boyfriend instinctively tightened his grip on his girlfriend's hand, "Xiao Tian, are you alright…?"
He paused, then felt her hand again.
…Why was this hand so rough and large?
He turned to look at his girlfriend. Wait, was Xiao Tian this tall?
"Hehehe…"
The 'girlfriend' beside him suddenly laughed, emitting a hoarse male voice.
"Holy cow!"
The boyfriend retreated repeatedly, "Who are you?!"
The 'girlfriend' pulled out a stun baton. The faint light illuminated his face, which was a ghost mask.
He walked towards the boyfriend step by step, gloating,
"Brother, you lost your girlfriend!"
"What the heck! When did you sneak in?" the boyfriend asked.
"Just at that fork in the road."
"Damn it!"
The boyfriend turned and ran, shouting with strong survival instincts,
"Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian! Where are you—?"
The staff member moved closer to Jiang Lin and Shen Jie, noticing they weren't running at all.
He simply chased after the boyfriend, not forgetting to add sound effects:
"Run, run hahaha…"
"…"
After the staff member left, Shen Jie turned a corner.
"Brother Jiang, this way."
…
Meanwhile, Suo Da quickly ran into a room and retrieved the props he had prepared.
He put on the wig and draped on the white clothes.
In minutes, he transformed into a 'ghost'.
Then, he used a secret passage to get to a room where Shen Jie and the others would arrive.
Creak—
The door opened.
The cold wind from outside blew in.
Who had entered?
The ghost-masked staff member hiding in the wardrobe perked up, and quietly opened the wardrobe door a crack.
He saw the wooden door swaying. There was no one at the entrance.
The screams from a distance also seemed to be further away.
Could the door be old and in disrepair?
Tourists in this haunted house often stumbled and banged on doors when they were upset.
It seemed he would have to report it to the manager later.
As he was thinking,
In the blink of an eye, he saw a white figure appear in the gap of the door.
Holy cow!
He leaned back, and with a bang, his back hit the wardrobe.
Looking again, the figure in the door gap was gone.
What was going on?
Had it left? Or was he seeing things?
He leaned forward, about to get a closer look.
Suddenly, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared before him.
Meeting his gaze.
—The other party was looking at him too!
"Ahhh!"
He screamed and turned to run into the passage inside the wardrobe.
After running a few steps, something grabbed his foot.
It was cold and clammy.
With great force, it pulled him out.
Bang!
The staff member fell to the ground. He didn't dare to look back, scrambling to his feet and crawling out of the room.
"What's going on?"
The door of a nearby wardrobe opened, and Suo Da, dressed as a ghost, pushed aside the hair in front of him to look.
Why had that staff member run away?
He hadn't even started his act yet.
Drip—
A drop of liquid landed on Suo Da's face.
He casually wiped it off, not paying it any mind.
Drip—
Drip—
Drops of liquid fell one after another.
A bloody smell filled the air.
Suo Da sensed something was wrong and opened his phone.
He discovered that what had been falling were all drops of blood.
He instinctively looked up.
He saw a pale face appear at the top of the wardrobe.
The skin was cracked, the eye sockets were black, and there were no eyeballs.
Drops of red blood dripped from the empty eye sockets.
Drip—
"Ahhh—"
…
"Ahhh—"
Terrified screams echoed through the haunted house.
Seemingly close, yet also far away.
Shen Jie, who was about to open the door, paused and looked around.
"Brother Jiang, did you hear something?"
…
