“Ah!”

Shen Wei cried out softly!

Looking at the battered head winking at him, Shen Wei felt his scalp tingle!

The head encased in the basketball rolled forward again. A drop of cold sweat dripped from Shen Wei's forehead, and he retreated sharply, instantly creating a safe distance.

To be fair, the bizarre head that suddenly opened its eyes inside the damaged basketball had startled Shen Wei. He almost took out the long saber from the Yin-Yang Umbrella in his Weird Ring and performed a craniotomy on the thing that scared him.

Just as Shen Wei was about to retrieve the Yin-Yang Umbrella, he suddenly realized something was amiss. Because the bizarre head in the basketball, apart from scaring him, made no other strange moves.

It was as if it simply wanted to stimulate Shen Wei's adrenaline secretion.

Shen Wei cautiously walked forward and kicked the weird basketball again. The terrifying head in the basketball, apart from blinking its eyes again, made no aggressive moves.

Seeing this, Shen Wei made up his mind. He stepped forward and roughly removed the basketball covering the severed head.

Looking at the cleverly designed plastic head in his hand, Shen Wei couldn't help but chuckle.

Rule 8: There are no eerie things here; everything is played by the haunted house's NPCs. You only need to act fearful, but don't be truly afraid. Remember, remember.

"It seems that there is indeed a film crew in this so-called Ghost School, and they have hired haunted house NPCs or purchased some terrifying props..."

"But I still can't let my guard down. If there's nothing scary in this instance, then how did Yang Chen disappear? That doesn't make sense. What I fear is a pile of fake eeriness mixed with a real one, making it hard to distinguish between the real and the fake. And the last sentence of Rule 8, why is it so intriguing? What does it mean to act fearful, but not be truly afraid..."

Thinking of this, Shen Wei couldn't help but become vigilant again!

Suddenly, he heard a burst of playful laughter from a room not far ahead, and these voices were very childish, like a group of children.

"Yang Chen! There's actually Yang Chen's voice. Is he really trapped here?..."

Shen Wei took out the Yin-Yang Umbrella from his Weird Ring and quickly ran towards that room.

"Kid, be careful, it might be a trap to lure you in. If that's Yang Chen, do you think that half-open door could trap him?"

Shen Wei calmed down instantly after hearing the Evil God's right hand's warning. He cautiously approached the place labeled "Sports Equipment Storage Room."

He peered inside through the half-open door and saw several children in school uniforms.

However, these children were all facing away from him, and he couldn't see their faces at all.

"These children are all similar in height to Yang Chen, but why are they always facing away from me? It's like they're deliberately luring me in. Something's not right. Could these children be ghoul NPCs hired by the director? But this acting is too realistic. And I remember the set rules mentioned that there are no children in this Ghost School..."

"Rule 2: There are no children here, there never have been. If you encounter playful children, please try to avoid them. If you can't avoid them or they find you, you must participate in their games and win."

"Shen Wei, is that you?"

The little boy in the sports equipment storage room suddenly asked.

"Yang Chen, that's really Yang Chen's voice. If it's an NPC, how could he imitate it so well..."

Just as Shen Wei was caught in a dilemma, the children in the sports storage room who were facing away from him actually began to slowly turn around. But Shen Wei's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retracted his gaze and ran away.

"Kid, why are you running? Isn't this a good opportunity to verify whether the boy inside is Yang Chen! A glance won't cost you anything, just don't go in..."

Shen Wei's Evil God right hand complained.

"Others pretend to be fools, but I think you're a natural. With Yang Chen's flamboyant personality, if he sensed I was coming, he would have rushed out long ago, would he still be turning his back to me pretending to be mysterious? And these guys have been trying to lure me into that room. Based on the speculation from the rules, something's not right with these things..."

"Whether those in the sports storage room are temporary actors or whatever, I feel very dangerous..."

Shen Wei said as he ran.

Perhaps sensing the footsteps in the corridor, Hu Dalei and Cui Jiani also ran out of the sports room to check.

Seeing the two with confused expressions, Shen Wei grabbed them and pushed them back into the sports room, then tightly closed the door.

"What's wrong, Shen Wei? Is there anything abnormal?"

Cui Jiani blinked her big eyes and asked Shen Wei.

"You rushed over so hastily, did you find any important clues about the students' disappearance?"

Hu Dalei also asked with a suspicious look.

Assistant Director Yu and his chubby cameraman were still filming non-stop.

At the same time, they contributed a few lines, such as, Shen Wei, you're so big, but your courage is pitifully small. Looking at you, you must have peed your pants, what a coward...

Although he knew this was the plot in the script, and Assistant Director Yu and the chubby cameraman were playing their roles.

But Shen Wei couldn't help but feel a surge of anger after hearing these sarcastic words. He forcibly suppressed the urge to draw his saber and chop these guys into dumpling filling, and waved to them.

Seeing Shen Wei's serious face, everyone gathered around!

"I think something's not right here, it seems like something eerie has mixed into our set. These things are very dangerous..."

Seeing the playfulness and drama in Shen Wei's face and eyes, Assistant Director Yu nodded approvingly, expressing his affirmation of him.

Shen Wei was speechless: "What I'm saying is true..."

"We believe what you're saying is true, after all, we're a team..."

Everyone answered in unison.

Shen Wei was completely dumbfounded by this scene. These guys were too immersed in the play, probably thinking that Shen Wei was showing off his acting skills to them.

"Assistant Director Yu, tell me the truth, did our crew hire any child actors..."

Shen Wei said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Assistant Director Yu's face suddenly became displeased. He reached out to stop the chubby cameraman who was still filming, and whispered: "Fatty, go back and cut this part out, pause filming first..."

"Shen Wei, do you know what you're doing? Where did your acting skills go? I, the director, haven't called cut yet, how can you jump out of character?..."

Assistant Director Yu scolded Shen Wei angrily.
