Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the two people behind him and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed a dark figure appear behind the boy...
Wait! Isn't that guy the last one in the group? Why is there someone behind him?
He didn't have time to think about it and shouted, "There's someone behind us! Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow that was originally some distance away from the boy suddenly jumped behind him.
"Don't scare me, how could it be possible..."
The boy laughed dryly and turned his head, just in time to see a skull with a big hole in its eye socket. Only half of the skeleton was left, floating in mid-air, holding the red axe with a broken hole high in its hand.
He screamed and sat down on the ground, watching the red axe fall down suddenly!
At this critical moment, Xiao Tangqiu quickly took out the crossbow he had exchanged for points and shot an arrow at the skull!
His speed was extremely fast, faster than ever before. He originally thought he would be too late, but in the end he still caught up -
Pull the string!
Shoot!
Due to lack of training, Xiao Tangqiu's accuracy was not good enough, and the arrow originally shot at the red axe deviated, but hit the skull by accident. The instantaneous burst of arrows at close range had great impact force, and the skull was instantly pierced by the arrow!
The skull with the arrow stuck in it fell to the ground and rolled several meters away.
He put down his crossbow and realized that his palms were cold from nervousness. His heartbeat was like a war drum in his ears. Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, the skull that had been shot by an arrow and fell to the ground came back to life and slowly floated in front of them. It had its back to Xiao Tangqiu and the others, and seemed to be clumsily searching for its body.
"Run!" he shouted, turned around and ran with Tang Mianmian. As for the boy who fell to the ground in fear, he didn't care about him anymore.
However, his words awakened the boy, who was startled awake by his shout. He quickly got up in a panic and staggered to run away.
The four people in front seemed to have heard the movement behind them, and they also started running wildly while shouting. Xiao Tangqiu had no time to find the way carefully, and could only blindly follow the people in front of him. As he ran, he prayed desperately that there was only one road in this haunted house, and there must be no forks or dead ends.
As he ran, he ran out of energy, and Tang Mianmian started pulling him along again. The two of them ran wildly after the person in front of them. At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized something was wrong: "Not right!"
He gasped and shouted, "How long have we been running? Why is there no exit? This isn't right! It's too long! How can a haunted house be this long?"
Tang Mianmian also noticed something was wrong: "Yeah...it's been more than ten or twenty minutes! No matter how we run, we should have reached the exit! How can this haunted house be so big!"
Xiao Tangqiu looked forward and saw the four people in front were still running desperately. They didn't seem to notice anything wrong, didn't think the road was too long, and didn't seem exhausted at all.
But Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian are just ordinary people. They are already very tired and are about to reach their limit.
"Holy crap! What the hell is going on? A ghost wall?"
Tang Mianmian's tone was extremely desperate.
Xiao Tangqiu also felt a burning heat in his lungs, which was the aftereffect of excessive exercise and hyperventilation. He glanced behind him and found that the boy had disappeared at some point, and the skull holding the axe was also gone.
That boy fell behind?
"Wait! Stop!"
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly stopped and grabbed Tang Mianmian.
Tang Mianmian suddenly became very nervous: "What's wrong?"
"Something is wrong..." Xiao Tangqiu stood firm. He tried to calm his breathing and tried to observe the movements around him. However, he could only hear his and Tang Mianmian's overly rapid breathing. Apart from that, there was dead silence.
"No footsteps..."
Tang Mianmian also reacted: "Fuck! That's right! Why are there no footsteps? And no other voices!" The passages in the haunted house are very narrow, and sounds from more than ten meters away can be heard clearly. There is no reason for them not to hear any sound.
Xiao Tangqiu used a flashlight to observe the surroundings. There was nothing special about the place where they stayed. It was as old and dilapidated as other places, with a sense of age. There was dust everywhere and broken props everywhere.
"That skull!"
Tang Mianmian suddenly discovered something and pointed at the corner in front of her and shouted.
Xiao Tangqiu looked over and, sure enough, the corner in front looked very familiar: a skull, plastic eyeballs, a chipped red axe, a broken mirror... Isn't this the place they just passed by?
But they had only one path since they entered the haunted house, with no forks. How could they go back?
"It's really a ghost wall! It must be a ghost wall!" Tang Mianmian said confidently.
Xiao Tangqiu raised his head and looked forward. The four people who had been running in front of them were gone. He didn't know whether they had lost him just now or had lost him from the beginning.
"Wait! There's something in the mirror!" He suddenly discovered something.
The two men walked closer to the mirror and saw something reflected in the shattered mirror. Due to the dim light, they could only vaguely see a few shadows.
Xiao Tangqiu shone the flashlight at the mirror and found that the mirror reflected the appearance of this place, but he and Tang Mianmian in front of the mirror were not there. Instead, there were four black shadows running around. The four people had terrified faces and opened their mouths, obviously screaming, but there was no one else behind the four people.
"Aren't these the other four people who came in with us?" Tang Mianmian recognized them. "Why did they end up in the mirror? Where's that coward?"
