"part time…"
Guangyou wiped the Schrödinger's sweat from his forehead, looked at the girl who was pretending to be pitiful with a speechless expression, and said, "Sister, can you come out and say something?"
"oh."
The girl inside nodded, realizing what was happening. She quickly used her hands to support herself as she stood up, patted her clothes, and then jumped out from the space under the table.
The girl in front of me looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her long, black hair was tied up, revealing her smooth forehead. She had big, watery eyes. She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was definitely cute.
Guangyou looked her up and down, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and couldn't help but sigh.
Actually, this girl is quite cute, with a youthful appearance, but the words "youthful appearance" don't really apply to her.
Ai, who was standing to the side, saw Kōyū's reaction and guessed what he was thinking.
She looked down at herself and felt quite helpless. How could a child's body compare to an adult's?
"Sister, you're the first staff member I've ever seen working at a haunted house, and you're actually slacking off and sleeping?"
Guangyou was very disappointed to see that she still looked like she hadn't woken up yet. He seriously doubted how the organizers of the haunted house could have come up with the idea of hiring someone like this to work there.
This time, not only did it not scare him, it also completely extinguished the interest he had finally managed to muster.
"Isn't it because no one comes to this room?"
The girl patted her mouth, yawned, shrugged, and said helplessly, "The haunted house is semi-open. Most girls are too scared to come in when they see the toads and stuff on the table."
The girl had just extended one finger when she seemed to remember something. She glanced at Guangyou and Xiao Ai, hesitated for a moment, and then extended a second finger, saying, "You are the fifth group of people I have seen in the past two weeks of my part-time job."
"So little..."
Guangyou peeked into the space inside the table. There were one or two devices that he didn't know what they were, and there were several buttons next to them.
"These two devices are small air purifiers."
The girl seemed to notice Guangyou's curiosity, pointed to the two devices, and then to the buttons next to them, explaining, "Those are used to control the props on this table."
Even if she didn't say it, Guangyou could guess it. After all, a haunted house of this kind can't have the props working all the time. If people see them but don't go over, then the props are useless.
If others go there, it means they have already accepted the terrifying nature of the prop, so the prop itself becomes meaningless.
"People are sleeping inside because they're just so bored."
The girl sighed helplessly and explained, "It's warm and not stuffy inside. I didn't have anything to pass the time, so I lay down inside and waited for a while before falling asleep without realizing it."
These words sparked a lot of thoughts in Guangyou's mind. If technology advanced in the future, and haunted houses also had such mechanisms, would the people controlling the mechanisms inside be playing a game of Honor of Kings while waiting for someone to come over?
The thought of entering a dimly lit room and suddenly hearing a voice saying "Welcome to XXXX" immediately snapped Guangyou out of the reverie; the image was simply too beautiful.
"By the way, where are your parents?"
After the girl finished explaining, she suddenly remembered a problem she considered very serious and quickly said, "Are you lost? Do you want me to lead you out?"
"We didn't get lost. It was just the two of us who came here to play this time."
Guangyou knew she meant well, but it was completely unnecessary. The conditions for passing through the checkpoint hadn't been met yet, and it would be a waste to leave like this. They had gone through so much trouble to get in.
"All right."
The girl looked at the two of them with admiration and said, "You two siblings are very brave. Two little kids like you dare to come here to play."
Guangyou didn't hear the rest clearly, but he heard the words "siblings." For a moment, he regretted waking the girl up.
Hehe~
Ai secretly chuckled at Kōyū's worried expression, but she couldn't understand why anyone would mistake them for siblings, especially since this wasn't the first time.
It was difficult to explain, so Guangyou didn't bother to explain and just let her think what she wanted.
Guangyou felt it necessary to write down the matter of sleeping in the suggestion book when he went out later.
Let me state upfront that this was absolutely not because he wanted revenge on her for calling the two of them "siblings." It was simply an idea that came to him out of a sense of responsibility to the tourists who would follow, and to make the atmosphere of the haunted house even better.
"Sigh, I'm such a good person."
Guangyou mentally hypnotized himself for a while, then nodded affirmatively, "That's right, it's all for the haunted house."
"Then you guys have fun, I'll continue waiting for others."
The girl didn't say much. After waving goodbye to the two of them, she climbed back into the space inside the table. With the sound of a mechanism, the table closed and returned to its original state.
Just as the two were about to leave, the girl's muffled voice came through the wooden planks: "How about I tell you where the key is? You can stay and chat with me?"
"Forget it, I think it's better to find this myself."
Kōyū politely declined the girl's request to switch places, and then pulled Ai along as they left the strange room and the person who called them "siblings".
"Creak... Bang."
After the door closed, a muffled voice came from under the table: "Never mind, let's go back to sleep."
