Chapter 45

The girl's face was bruised and swollen, and her eyeballs were bulging. Even in the dim light of the haunted house, Wang Ziwen could tell that she was not a living person.

But the face was Xu Xiaojing's face.

"Xiaojing, you..."

Wang Ziwen then took two steps back. Her best friend looked like this, obviously dead.

Wang Ziwen couldn't help but retreat, but 'Xu Xiaojing' stood up and pressed forward step by step.

"Wenwen, don't you recognize me?"

"Didn't you say that we are best friends?"

"I'm hanging up there alone. I'm so cold. Come up and stay with me, okay...?"

Wang Ziwen couldn't believe that her best friend turned into a ghost after death, and even wanted to drag her with her after death. Looking at the gloomy face of 'Xu Xiaojing', she said with a dry throat: "Why?"

"Why are there so many? Are you out of your mind trying to reason with ghosts? Run away!" Bai Yan glanced at Xu Xiaojing, then angrily yelled: "Your good friends have turned into ghosts, and now they want to eat your flesh." After peeling off your skin, you still treat her as a friend? "

"The most important thing is that there are two people behind you! How can we run if you don't run?"

Bai Yan's scolding woke up Wang Ziwen, and her friend's betrayal made her feel confused, but the strange haunted house did not allow her to digest the complicated emotions.

Seeing that 'Xu Xiaojing' was about to block the entrance to the passage, she gritted her teeth and tried to avoid her, rushing out from her side.

However, as soon as she ran to 'Xu Xiaojing', a blood-stained hanging rope hung from the air and split into two in the middle.

Seeing the hanging rope hanging in front of her eyes, a flash of fear flashed in Wang Ziwen's eyes. She lowered her head to avoid the rope, but Xu Xiaojing suddenly grabbed her head with her hands and pressed her onto the hanging rope!

One of the forked hanging ropes was put on 'Xu Xiaojing''s head, and the other was hung on Wang Ziwen's neck. Wang Ziwen pulled the rope with her hands, trying to pull it away, but the rope got tighter and tighter, pulling her up slowly. Soon, her toes left the ground and kept swinging on the ground.

Being tied up in the air by a hanging rope, Wang Ziwen stared at her best friend with a sly smile on her face in disbelief. She was face to face with 'Xu Xiaojing', and in the endless resentment and anger, she did not dare to swallow. Out of breath.

"Fuck, they're dead!" Su Yize spat: "Both NPCs are dead, it's our turn next!"

While talking, the two of them had already passed the hanging conjoined corpse and ran to the exit of the haunted house. Facing the dark exit, the two stopped and did not dare to go in for a long time.

"Bai Yan, have you found a way out?"

"No, have you thought of it?"

Bai Yan glanced at Su Yize. He really didn't find it, but even if he found it, he wouldn't tell Su Yize. He found a way out by his own skills, so why should he tell others?

Bai Yan looked at the exit and didn't want to go there for a while. There is no NPC to die now, he will be the next one to go in and disappear. Standing in front of the exit, Bai Yan fell into deep thought. In the first two rounds of the haunted house, there were only missing persons and no dead people. Why did people suddenly die this time?

What dead end did they trigger?

Bai Yan checked the time and found that thirteen minutes had passed since they entered the haunted house for the third time. Recalling the experience of this game, Bai Yan only felt that it was very messy, the clues were messy, and the last words written in blood were of no use other than getting them back to the entrance.

Not even mentioned...

Unable to connect the clues for a long time, Bai Yan calmed down and reviewed the process after entering the secret room.

Each of the two secret rooms can be played for ten minutes. The first one was completed in three and a half minutes without any abnormalities. The second secret room took them fifteen minutes to complete. In the middle, Xu Xiaojing saw a female ghost climbing on the ceiling, and The hanging rope swinging violently.

After the secret room, they lined up in the passage and entered the haunted house. According to the normal speed, they could complete the whole journey in ten minutes, but because Xu Xiaojing squatted down and cried, it took them more than ten minutes. When they were about to go out, they saw the female ghost on the beam, and then they entered the exit one by one, and the guide disappeared.

In the second round of the haunted house, they completed the journey in eight minutes. During this period, they encountered curses from the guide, ghosts with severed hands, and human heads, but none of these ghosts caused harm to the players or NPCs. After entering the exit, Xu Xiaojing disappeared.

Also, from this round onwards, the environment of the haunted house becomes scarier as you get closer to the exit. On the contrary, the environment at the entrance is the cleanest. Just like the tourist's suicide note has been confirmed, the entrance is the real way to survive...

After reviewing the entire process, Bai Yan noticed something was wrong. He reviewed it again and felt that he had caught something.

"The bloody words on the notebook lead us back to the entrance, and the environment of the haunted house also implies that our exit is dangerous..."

"Each secret room takes ten minutes. The guide said that it will also take ten minutes to walk through half of the haunted house..." Bai Yan looked at the countdown on his phone and thought hard: "The second secret room and the first round of haunted houses all had ghosts in the end, but... No players or NPCs were harmed. I didn’t pay much attention to the time when the ghost appeared, but it was still a while before the level was cleared. Now that I think about it, could it be ten minutes?”

The more Bai Yan reasoned, the clearer his thinking became. He gradually figured it out. In the first few rounds of the game, the app gave them hints. Each game was ten minutes. If this time exceeded, the ghost would kill people!

They cleared the first secret room very quickly and did not encounter ghosts, but they were delayed in the second secret room, so at ten minutes, ghosts began to appear in the secret room. This was the hint given to them by the game.

In the first round of the haunted house, Xu Xiaojing wasted everyone's time by squatting down and crying, so the guide's original ten-minute tour plan was extended. Ten minutes later, a female crossbeam ghost appeared in front of the exit, but it might be because of the first round. , ghosts can't kill yet, this is the second hint given to them by the game.

"There's still the second round. We ran the entire distance in eight minutes, so the ghost can only threaten but can't hurt anyone. In the third round, we were delayed by reading the notebook, so we met Xu Xiaojing ten minutes later!"

Bai Yan felt that this guess was very reliable, and combined with the fact that this haunted house did not have good intentions and wanted them to die here, whatever the haunted house wanted them to do must be bad.

Combining the two, Bai Yan decided that regardless of whether his deduction was correct or not, he would just run to the exit in the next round. He would run to the exit within ten minutes and never stop no matter what he encountered!

After making up his mind, Bai Yan looked up and saw that Su Yize was still thinking hard, obviously he hadn't figured out how to survive in the haunted house yet.

Thinking of him being dragged into the wall by ghost hands, this guy was standing by watching the show and didn't even say a word to help. Bai Yan chuckled, quietly walked past him while he wasn't paying attention, and bumped into the exit.

He never holds a grudge.

He won't share clues if he doesn't have a grudge, that's for sure.

Su Yize only noticed Bai Yan walking past him. When Bai Yan entered the exit, he suddenly realized: "Fuck you, come back!"

"Why did you run away!"

Su Yize was not stupid. When he saw Bai Yan leaving without saying hello, he knew that this guy must have a clue.

Players who survive to the fourth game have the most basic IQ and cannot blindly die. According to the order of entering the haunted house, the next missing person should be Bai Yan. His daring to enter means that he is sure. He sneaked away obviously because he hated him for what happened before!

If he had known that he would not die, he would have thought of it and helped him!

Su Yize regretted it beyond words.

"Fuck, it's not me who's in danger anyway. I can still think of a way out without you. The worst I can do is stay here at the exit for a while."

Su Yize planned to stay at the exit until he thought of a way out before leaving. Unfortunately, he stopped for another two minutes and saw 'Wang Ziwen' and 'Xu Xiaojing' sticking out their tongues together, holding hands and walking towards the exit, getting closer and closer to the exit.

Seeing that the two of them were about to come over, the hanging rope hovering over their heads split again, ready to find the third person to hang themselves. Su Yize cursed secretly, turned around and rushed through the exit, entering the fourth round of the haunted house.

…

Compared with the haunted house in the third round, the environment in the fourth round is more sinister.

Except for a small area at the entrance, the road ahead was completely covered with dense hair. As soon as Bai Yan stepped on it, the ghost hair began to wrap around his legs and feet.

Under the obstruction of Guifa, Bai Yan couldn't run fast at all, but compared to his speed in the first round, as long as there were no accidents along the way, it was more than enough for him to reach the exit within ten minutes.

Bai Yan carefully avoided the wall to avoid being pulled into the wall again and wasting time. He avoided a ghost hand protruding from the wall, ignored the corpses and papers scattered in the corner, as well as various tempting clues, and kept running forward.

After about a third of the run, a young man with a shocked face came running from the front. When he saw Bai Yan, the young man's eyes lit up. He hurriedly stopped and asked, "Hello, are you also a tourist stuck here?" ? I walked around here several times..."

"It's none of my business how many times you spin around, stay away from me!"

The young man was blocking the entrance of the passage and remained motionless. Bai Yan pushed hard and ignored the young man falling to the ground, stepping on his body and continuing to run away.

After Bai Yan left, the young man turned into a withered skeleton and was quickly pulled into the wall, filling the wall with other limbs.

After understanding the way to survive in this game, Bai Yan will not stop no matter what he encounters.

Wow——

Blood rain suddenly began to fall from the ceiling. In the blood rain, dozens of severed hands fell one after another, hitting Bai Yan all over.

After tearing off a severed hand that was stuck on his face, Bai Yan threw the severed hand to the ground, ignoring the others attached to him, and continued to move forward as quickly as possible.

When he was approaching the exit, Bai Yan saw a wall made of human heads standing in front of him, blocking the way.

I glanced at the time, ten minutes were about to come.

Facing the wall full of heads, Bai Yan's eyes flashed with cruelty, he pulled his foot out of his hair and kicked the heads hard.

After a dozen violent kicks, the head rolled to the ground. They opened their mouths wide and let out a vicious roar. Bai Yan blocked his ears and pretended not to hear. He jumped over the head and rushed into the exit.

The exit of the haunted house was the store where they bought the tickets. Bai Yan poked his head out and saw no sign of Su Yize. He didn't know if he had left or if he was still stuck in the haunted house.

Outside the exit, the guide lady who had said harsh words on the pager stood at the door, looking at him with a smile.

Hearing the sound of someone coming out, the boss at the counter also turned around: "How is it? Is my haunted house okay?"

"It's okay, but it needs improvement. I suggest you, boss, go in and have some fun."

Bai Yan gave him a sincere smile, and at the same time returned with his hand slowly.

Just kidding, the boss’s sister is still hanging on the beam. If she doesn’t leave now, she’ll be there later.
