Wu Fei, an orphan, inexplicably inherited an adventure haunted house within a dilapidated amusement park. The catch? It couldn't be transferred or sold; she had to operate it herself, or face a...
Wu Fei spent the whole night in anxiety and only received a call from Ma Xiaoling in the early morning.
"Wu Fei, I didn't turn into ashes!" Ma Xiaoling's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. "I just tried it, and apart from being a little uncomfortable with the sunlight, there are no other problems... I took a day off and came to see you now!"
Half an hour later, Wu Fei heard the sound of Ma Xiaoling's car parked outside the haunted house and ran out.
Ma Xiaoling wore a straw hat and sunglasses, and wrapped herself tightly, making her particularly eye-catching in this brilliant summer.
"Is it really okay?" Wu Fei hurriedly brought her into the house.
Ma Xiaoling immediately took off her coat, panting. "It's just that my skin hurts when the sun shines on it... But it's fine now. At worst, I can just buy some extra sunscreen."
Wu Fei hurriedly poured her a glass of water: "Drink some water first..."
Ma Xiaoling looked at the glass of water with disgust: "I don't want to drink it, I want to eat something else..."
Wu Fei was stunned: "Horror value?"
Ma Xiaoling scratched her head in annoyance. "I'm thinking about whether I should quit my job as a police officer, or ask my superiors to change me to night duty..."
Wu Fei was about to say, why don’t you come to the haunted house…
"No, no, no!" Ma Xiaoling shook her head. "I still have no idea about the arrival of the copy. I have to get information from the police station!"
"I suffered such a big loss in the apartment, I will never let that bastard off!" she said gritting her teeth.
"who?"
"Our team's deputy captain! He was the one who deliberately instigated me to investigate the deserted village inn!" Ma Xiaoling said fiercely, "I'm going to skin him alive!"
Wu Fei hurriedly held her down and said, "Please be patient and tell me what happened first."
Ma Xiaoling talked for more than half an hour, and Wu Fei finally understood.
The deputy captain of her team was called Cheng Gang. A few days ago, he deliberately leaked the surveillance footage of Lin Yun and Wang Jian leaving the hospital to Ma Xiaoling, causing Ma Xiaoling to fall directly into the trap of the copy.
Wu Fei fell into deep thought: "So, the strange copy has been manipulated by humans?"
Doesn't that just fulfill the plots described in the weird novels on major fiction websites?
"I don't know, but I always feel that there is a force behind it, and it is closely related to the people around us..."
Ma Xiaoling frowned and said, "I always feel that someone around us is deliberately designing us to fall into different copies."
Wu Fei frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I still have to go back to the police station and investigate Cheng Gang!"
Wu Fei looked at her and asked, "So you're not afraid of the sun anymore?"
"It's okay, just apply more sunscreen and wear long sleeves." Ma Xiaoling just felt a little tired in the sun, but other than that, there was nothing serious.
"Since you have taken a day off today, why don't you help me here..." Wu Fei smiled and pulled her into the "Disappearing Room 13".
Ma Xiaoling instinctively resisted, her face changing drastically: "No! I'd rather die than go to that haunted apartment!"
"Just think of it as doing me a favor..." Wu Fei thought for a moment, "When tourists come to visit this scene later, you can just pretend to be weird and scare them..."
Ma Xiaoling was about to say something when Wu Fei took her arm and said, "Even if it's just a friendly guest appearance, I'll treat you to barbecue and milk tea after this!"
Ma Xiaoling, however, had a strange look on her face. "Why am I no longer interested in barbecue and milk tea? I used to love these two combinations!"
Wu Fei smiled and said, "You'll know after trying it tonight."
By nine in the morning, a wave of tourists had lined up outside.
Ma Xiaoling was a little depressed but resigned herself to her fate and went to Room 13 to watch the scene.
Although the scene is called "The Disappearing Room 13", the entire scene shows the deserted village apartment and part of the streets in the surrounding villages.
Not only that, Ma Xiaoling also saw monsters with countless animal heads in the deserted village.
No, weird!
In shock, she discovered that the monsters in the entire deserted village were actually very obedient, and they no longer had the ferocious and terrifying appearance that she had in the copy.
But after the first group of ignorant tourists entered the scene, she realized she was wrong.
The monsters immediately put in their utmost effort and began to chase the tourists.
When the tourists were screaming in agony and terror, Ma Xiaoling actually felt extremely comfortable all over.
It's as refreshing as a downpour after a long drought.
After Ma Xiaoling realized this problem, her expression became extremely interesting.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the haunted house asked the tourists to leave at the call of the housekeeper through the loud speaker.
Ma Xiaoling came out yawning, looking refreshed.
Wu Fei looked at her with a smile: "How about it? Wouldn't it be nice to be my employee?"
Ma Xiaoling tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I think this is not bad..."
After staying there for a day, she not only filled up her horror value, but also tried out her own special ability, which was so powerful that she was surprised.
"I have a suggestion!" Wu Fei put her arm around her shoulders. "It's not impossible to investigate Cheng Gang, but if you overreact, it will definitely attract the attention of him or the people behind him. It's better to play dumb."
"How do you pretend?"
"You've taken a day off today, so why not just lie down tomorrow?"
"What do you mean?"
"Pretend to be brain dead!"
Ma Xiaoling was stunned: "You mean, find our local traitor?"
"If what Shen Shanhe and the others said is true, someone will definitely take action against the brain-dead players..." Wu Fei looked at her worriedly, "but the risk is too great."
"What should we do then?"
Wu Fei thought for a moment and said, "I can arrange for the staff of the haunted house to be your bodyguards 24 hours a day to ensure your safety."
Once the weirdness in the haunted house is released, it is much more powerful than any player.
"But if those guys lose control, it will be troublesome!"
Wu Fei smiled and said, "No! They are all under my contract, so this won't happen."
Ma Xiaoling suddenly looked at her: "I want to ask a question!"
"you say!"
"If your haunted house continues to expand infinitely, will it become another copy world?"
Wu Fei's expression was slightly shocked, and then she smiled: "You didn't see that I only have eighteen scenes here, not even one more."
I hope it doesn't change in this terrible direction.
Ma Xiaoling sighed: "Yes, it's better not to..."
"By the way, how are you going to explain to your family if you become like this?"
"What do I have to explain? I have no family, I'm an orphan!" Ma Xiaoling said self-deprecatingly.
Wu Fei was stunned: "Orphan?"
"What? Could it be you too?"
Wu Fei nodded.
Ma Xiaoling smiled: "What a coincidence! All the players I know are orphans..."
At this point, the smile on her face froze: "Why are all the players orphans?"
