A month ago, the most dilapidated and least terrifying haunted house in B City got a new young owner. According to online rumors, this young owner, named Yu Jiuyin, is handsome and elegant, profici...
☆、A date with the boss to catch bugs
It was pitch black all around. Xu Wang held his breath, feeling his back soaked with cold sweat.
"Come out, I'll take you away." The gentle voice kept trying to seduce Xu Wang, but fortunately, after he jumped into the freezer, the female ghost could finally not get in.
Through the narrow gap in the freezer lid, Xu Wang saw that the female ghost had left. The butcher's footsteps, which had been getting closer, gradually faded away after Xu Wang hid himself because he couldn't find anyone.
After being rescued, Xu Wang breathed a sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his forehead that had been suppressed for a long time came out at once, and even his legs felt weak.
He subconsciously wanted to wipe it with his sleeve, but the strange touch under his hand made his heart, which had just been relieved, hang in the air again.
What is this? Xu Wang felt something moving beneath his palm. It was soft, like fine silk. Or perhaps a woman's skin.
The president's first reaction was to not be able to look. However, the more frightened he became, the harder it was to control himself. Just as he lowered his head, a row of eerie eyes fixed unerringly on him. Then, a biting chill enveloped him almost instantly.
This wasn't a freezer at all; it was clearly a large coffin. Beneath the coffins lay frozen human heads. Now, these heads were staring at him with eyes wide open, their pupils only visible, their mouths simultaneously cracking with malicious intent.
"Do you want to be captured by the ghost, or be eaten by the butcher, or stay with us forever?"
""
The eerie ghostly aura was nakedly malicious. And those bloodshot teeth bit accurately into his body. The intense pain caused Xu Wang to completely collapse. This time, he didn't even scream, fainting directly in the coffin.
"Who's in trouble?" Yu Jiuyin, who was outside, sensed it almost immediately when Xu Wang fainted, and hurriedly said to the boss guarding the door, "Go in and pick them up. The first person who fainted is now in the coffin."
"Who is it that is crazy? He even dares to go to the coffin." The boss asked curiously.
"Of course," Yu Jiuyin raised his lips and revealed a strange smile, "He's the president of the Anti-Supernatural Society."
"What's that impossible?" Before the boss could reply, the Anti-Supernatural Society members, who were waiting outside the haunted house for the next group to enter, immediately retorted. In their minds, Xu Wang was a complete atheist, a man who could easily dispel any illogical ghost story. How could such a man be frightened by a hoax haunted house? Yu Jiuyin must have orchestrated this, causing Xu Wang's injury.
"Damn it, you liar, did you threaten or use force to coerce our president?" Someone with a bad temper rushed to the counter and questioned Yu Jiuyin.
"Then you will know if you go in and take a look." Yu Jiuyin was too lazy to pay attention to them. He picked up the bell that had run out of the haunted house at some point and pinched its chubby cheeks.
"You scared him like this, and it's my turn to deal with him after he comes out."
"Hehehe, Jiuyin Jiuyin Lingling is so powerful, I scared him to tears." Looking up, Lingling communicated silently with Yu Jiuyin through thoughts. Her pair of glass eyes were smart, and she patted her chest with her arms, as if she was not an ordinary puppet, but a thumb doll that would appear in fairy tales.
"Oh, so cute!" The alumni invited by the three university students were queuing up at the haunted house entrance to buy tickets. Passersby were curious and wanted to join in the fun. One girl, seeing Yu Jiuyin playing with the bell, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She even approached the counter to get a closer look.
But Lingling was a bit timid. When she saw someone coming, her first reaction was to open her mouth and bite them. Her bloody mouth and sharp teeth made her look very fierce and scary.
The girl froze. The atmosphere fell silent, but within three seconds, there were even louder exclamations. The others at the counter couldn't help but laugh after seeing this scene.
"Wow, what a bad temper!"
"You're so angry, are you angry?"
"So cute, I want you to hug me and kiss me."
So, what exactly is your misunderstanding of the definition of cute? You really are becoming less and less aware of the aesthetic standards of city dwellers. The boss sighed, opened the door to the emergency passage, and followed Yu Jiuyin's instructions to go in and rescue people.
"I've been underestimated," Yu Jiuyin rubbed Lingling's head lovingly. Lingling, feeling a bit embarrassed, hid in Yu Jiuyin's arms.
"I'll scare them to tears soon. I'm a fierce ghost qaq."
"Okay, okay, it's an evil ghost." Seeing the little girl burying her head in her hands in frustration, the smile on Yu Jiuyin's face became a little more lively.
At this moment, Xu Wang, who had fainted in the coffin, was also carried out. Everyone looked at him and saw that he was frightened and foaming at the mouth, with his clothes wet and greasy.
As Xu Wang was exposed to the sunlight and the temperature rose, he gradually woke up. However, his dull eyes and trembling body clearly showed that he was still in extreme fear.
So, this haunted house is so awesome?
Everyone couldn't help swallowing, and their original desire to go in was also reduced a lot.
"Send him to a nearby hospital." Yu Jiuyin didn't look up, his attitude still as cold as ever. He ordered the boss to send the man there, and then laid a very tempting hook for those who were thinking of quitting. "If you can stay in there for ten minutes, half of the ticket price will be refunded. If you can walk out of the haunted house within ten minutes, the ticket price will be returned twenty times."
Twenty times the haunted house costs fifty yuan a ticket, so twenty times is one thousand.
Many of the people who came this time were ordinary college students. One thousand yuan was enough for them to eat better-tasting stir-fries in the small cafeteria every day for a month.
What's more, Xu Wang was obviously trying to be brave and not ring the distress bell, so he fainted. Even if it really didn't work, they could just ring the bell in advance and ask to come out. Fifty yuan is not expensive, what if they can successfully pass the level?
"I'll go"
“I’m going too.”
Everyone has a sense of luck, and the originally dull atmosphere suddenly became lively again. Yu Jiuyin's phone vibrated. He looked down and saw that it actually showed "Progress of the first stage of the rescue of the haunted house mission is 0.5%."
What did 0.5 percent mean? Yu Jiuyin pondered for a moment, then roughly understood the criteria for this mission. It roughly referred to the number of visitors. Based on the 0.5 percent calculation for six people, he only needed to welcome 1,200 people to complete the first phase of the mission.
If you calculate it this way, it doesn’t seem that difficult.
Yu Jiuyin was mulling over his thoughts. Meanwhile, Xu Wang, who was being rushed to the hospital, woke up completely on the way. But unlike everyone's expectations, he didn't cry or make a scene after waking up. Instead, he fell strangely silent, as if he was contemplating something very serious.
This guy must be scared silly, right?
The boss and another member of the anti-supernatural club looked at each other and both thought that the president was too weird.
But after a while, he seemed to suddenly wake up and asked the college student a question, and the whole car was suddenly filled with an indescribable chill.
"The doll in your store manager's hand is alive, right?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a puppet be alive?" The boss was shocked and couldn't help swallowing. "You said it was a mechanism, and you cracked it, didn't you? What nonsense are you talking about now?"
"That's right, President, you're not hallucinating, are you?" The member also laughed, but his laughter was uglier than crying.
Damn, this is so creepy. They are going to the hospital this time. After Xu Wang woke up, he kept saying these scary things. The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Fortunately, Xu Wang didn't say anything after that. After a hospital examination, the doctor said it was just a momentary shock and that he would just need to rest. He simply prescribed some tranquilizers and sent him home.
However, before they parted ways, Xu Wang suddenly shouted to the boss, "I will come to visit again."
"It's up to you, but if you can't do it next time, just come out." Not realizing the profound meaning in Xu Wang's words, the boss thought he was just unwilling to admit defeat, so he simply waved his hand and left.
But the club member felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but ask, "The haunted house looks weird, don't go there anymore."
Xu Wang shook his head, "Dabin, tell me, how did my sister die?"
"How would I know?" Thinking of the rumor, the member was really scared.
"Just kidding." Xu Wang just smiled stiffly and didn't say anything for the rest of the journey. But in his mind, there was a thought that kept reminding him that maybe he could ask that young man for help with the case from that year.
Even if it was really the work of ghosts and gods, three years later, he still wanted to ask for an explanation. His sister couldn't die in vain.
At this moment, Yu Jiuyin in the haunted house suddenly kicked the college student who had just returned in annoyance.
"It hurts, it hurts!" The college student was drinking water when he was startled by Yu Jiuyin's kick.
"You brought a lot of trouble." Yu Jiuyin frowned, as if he was calculating something, and then he couldn't help but kick the boss again. Next time, don't bring such troublesome people to the haunted house. Fifty yuan for a ticket is not enough for me to deal with it once.
After saying that, he turned his sleeves and went into the house.
The eldest brother, who was left outside, hugged his legs and jumped on one foot, crying and not knowing what to say. He just felt wronged and had no idea what he had done to upset Yu Jiuyin.
Alas, trouble can't be avoided. Returning to the inner room, Yu Jiuyin gradually restrained his irritable expression, casually took out two copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.
The unexpected thing was the Kun Gua Ze Shui Kun.
Trapped. Prosperous, steadfast, great men are blessed, without fault. Words are not believed. Xiang says a marsh without water is trapped. A gentleman will achieve his ambitions at the cost of his life.
There is no water on the lake, which means you are trapped and poor; all things cannot grow, so cultivate virtue and keep calm. This hexagram is very bad. If you get this hexagram, you will be in trouble and everything will go wrong. You should stick to the right path and wait for the opportunity.
This damn waiting for the right moment, isn't it just waiting for me? Yu Jiuyin had calculated this divination for Xu Wang. With this result, he was helpless and could only put the copper coins away.
The cause and effect were already established, so all that was left was to wait for Xu Wangqiu to come. But being trapped and having everything go wrong, what on earth could this be? Yu Jiuyin was rarely more curious.
Yu Jiuyin waited until 8:30 pm, when the haunted house closed, and finally saw Xu Wang, who had come to visit him with a large bag of things. However, he didn't bring any good things, but a blood-stained love letter and a very strange map of the old college dormitory.
Yu Jiuyin only took a glance and his expression suddenly became serious. He originally thought that Xu Wang had just encountered some minor troubles, but now it seemed that it was a deadly situation that would cost his life.
