While everyone was communicating, Liu Lan, who had already changed her makeup and was ready, had slowly walked to the door, hunched over with more than half of her body weight resting on her crutch, with the crutch hitting the wooden floor outside, making sounds that were sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

The sound of the cane hitting the ground was not loud at first, but under Lili's control, the heavy and light sound was amplified several times. It was like water dripping on the edge of a person in a dark environment. The originally small dripping sound became particularly obvious and creepy under the influence of the environment.

No one spoke.

Jiang Wanwan even shrank her neck in fear, and silently approached Chengzi, who was very brave and staring at the closed door with excitement.

With a creak, the door opened.

When Liu Lan pushed open the door, she was actually confused for a moment. She remembered that there was no such noise when she pushed the door when she came to this room before. Was the door broken?

But Liu Lan didn't care about such small details, now it was her turn to perform.

"Everyone." Liu Lan lowered her voice, making it sound hoarse, and it really sounded like the voice of an old lady, "Good evening."

"Welcome everyone to take the entrance exam for our association. I am the vice president of the association. My last name is Gu. You can just call me Granny Gu."

Wang Erya, who was sitting in the next room, eating melon seeds and watching the live performance intently, exclaimed: "Wow, Sister Lanlan is so amazing!"

Jiang Qi nodded in agreement. He only had one night to read the script, memorize the lines, and figure out how to interpret Liu Lan at home. Not only did he get it all done, but the result was so good on his first performance, he was worthy of being the king of the first volume of our store.

The light in the room dimmed slightly, but no one cared.

Liu Lan began to host turtle soup.

There are hundreds of Turtle Soup questions in the host manual for the host to choose from. The duration of Turtle Soup should be between half an hour and 45 minutes, with 3 to 5 questions given depending on the level of the players.

Among the six people, only Chengzi and Qin Can had played turtle soup. I don’t know what Liu Lan was thinking. The first question she asked was about the blind man’s birthday celebration that she had seen in her memory.

The six people in the room were playing with turtle soup seriously, and Wang Erya, who was watching next door, was also thinking seriously about the soup base.

Under the leadership of veterans Chengzi and Qin Can, the players made rapid progress and guessed that it was the blind man in just three minutes.

"Boss, why does Sister Cancan think that man is blind?" Wang Erya couldn't keep up with the progress at all.

Jiang Qi did not answer, but took a piece of white paper from the table, picked up the pen in the pen holder, and handed both the paper and the pen to Wang Erya: "Erya, boss, let me test you, can you write the three words 'turtle soup'?"

Wang Erya started to write and successfully wrote the two words "tang", but she couldn't write the two words "gui".

“Can Kelp write?”

Jiang Qi had no interest in watching others play turtle soup, so he simply took advantage of this free time to check on Wang Erya's learning results.

Wang Erya nodded and wrote the word "kelp" in crooked characters on the paper.

"Can the braised little turtle write?"

Wang Erya nodded again and wrote down the five big words "Braised Little Turtle".

Jiang Qi was very satisfied and said amiably: "You see, you actually know how to do it. Sea turtles are an animal, and they are protected in China, but they can be eaten in some foreign countries, so sea turtle soup is actually a dish."

Huang Fugui also became interested: "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Qi: ...

He has never been abroad, how could he know...

Jiang Qi chose to change the subject: "In the question Sister Lanlan asked just now, that person is having a birthday. What should he eat on his birthday?"

"Eggs, longevity noodles, white flour buns, longevity peaches!"

"What do people eat on their birthdays in the TV shows you watch?"

“Birthday cake!”

"Then can Erya write about cake? Write it and show it to the boss."

Just when Jiang Qi was checking Wang Erya's learning achievements during this period, the doll that had been sitting restlessly on the highest shelf suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, pretending to be just a normal doll.

If she hadn't quietly distanced herself from Jiang Qi.

Since the six people in the room were having so much fun playing Turtle Soup, Liu Lan temporarily added two more questions, allowing them to play for more than an hour.

Lili was getting impatient waiting after playing so much, so she flashed the light to remind Liu Lan to quickly move on to the next step because she was going to start scaring people.

Liu Lan thought it was Jiang Qi who was controlling the lights, and urged her to move on to the next scene. He said gloomily, "Very good, Miss Zuo Si got it right again. I remember that you are a real fan of supernatural events and have played many thrilling games. It is our honor to have such an outstanding member like you join our association."

Orange couldn't help but straighten her back proudly. At this moment, she was quite immersed in it. Although she was not a fan of supernatural events, she was indeed a fan of horror games.

"Everyone, please sit here and wait for a moment. I'm going to get a small reward for Miss Zuo Si and will be back soon."

"By the way, I hid some little surprises inside the black-haired doll and the blue-haired doll in the house. If you are interested, you may look for them."

Liu Lan walked out slowly.

As soon as Liu Lan went out, Jiang Qi received her message.

Liu Lan: Hurry, they are going to search for clues, quickly start the doll to scare people.

Jiang Qi: ...

If there was really no way to explain it, he really wanted to invite Liu Lan to come next door and watch with him.

After Liu Lan left, the six people in the room looked at each other.

Jiang Wanwan looked at the black-haired and blue-haired dolls on the shelf: "So now we are going to search these dolls for evidence?"

"Will the lights be turned off suddenly?" Qin Can looked at the light vigilantly.

Valley Edge

"Don't be afraid!" Orange stood up, walked straight to the blue-haired doll closest to her, and picked up the doll from the shelf.

After feeling the doll's hair and body, Orange found the clue card tucked inside its skirt.

"Look, how simple!" Orange raised the clue card in his hand, "But this doll feels hard, it seems that there is no cotton stuffed inside."

Chengzi looked at the five people and found that everyone, including Fang Jing and Gong Ye, were looking at her with horror.

"What..." Orange felt an itch on his forearm, turned his head and found that the blue-haired doll was rubbing his arm.

“Stick it!” the blue-haired doll said happily, “Hahahahahahaha~”

Even the experienced Orange was frightened by this scene. She tried hard not to scream and let go of the doll, wanting to throw it on the ground.

But how could Lili, who had to change into the mechanical skin she hated in order to get close to the beautiful girl, give up this precious opportunity?

The doll held onto Orange's right hand tightly and refused to let go. It began to climb up along Orange's arm, saying aggrievedly as it climbed: "Don't you like me?"

"Play with me!"

Two lines of blood and tears flowed down from the doll's big eyes. The doll's face rubbed against Orange's arm, and the blood and tears dripped on her arm, wet and sticky.

"Ahhhhhh!" Orange's defense was broken, and he swung the mechanical doll out with great force.

The doll hit the wall heavily and broke into three pieces, its head and legs separated, and even its tongue was thrown out and hung outside. With its really big eyes and two lines of blood and tears that had not yet dried, it looked as if it had died with its eyes open.

Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can were already terrified.

Wang Zhuo had already begun to want to escape from this terrible place.

Gong Ye's eyes widened, and Fang Jing was also slightly startled.

Orange slumped on the ground, looking at the red sticky liquid on his hands. He came to his senses a little after realizing that this was probably just plasma and not real blood.

"Wow, the props in this store are so well made." As expected of a veteran horror player, his first reaction was not to curse but to praise the store for its attentiveness.

"Still…still searching…searching?" Jiang Wanwan was so scared that she stuttered, pointing at the dolls all over the room, "It seems like there are…still…still quite a lot of dolls that match the criteria."

"Search!" Orange became interested.

As Orange said, horror books mostly take advantage of people's fear of the unknown. Once you are mentally prepared, even the most terrifying things will not seem so scary.

When Orange touched the clue card, the second doll's head flew out and bumped into Qin Can's arms. It jumped up and down in Qin Can's arms and laughed loudly, scaring Qin Can so much that he fell off the chair.

The third doll suddenly showed its sharp teeth at Orange, but Orange was so scared that he subconsciously took a step back and was not particularly affected.

The fourth one...

The fifth one...

Gradually, everyone felt that they had figured out the pattern of why the dolls were scary.

Fang Jing was the first to join the team looking for clue cards, followed closely by Gong Ye. With the efforts of several people, they quickly found all 12 clue cards.

Everyone gathered together and started sharing clue cards, and just as they were thinking, the lights suddenly went out.

The room suddenly fell into darkness. Wang Zhuo felt that the horror was not as scary as he had imagined. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight. He walked to the switch, took a look, and turned the light back on.

"It should be a circuit breaker. I noticed it when I was playing turtle soup just now. The current seems unstable."

Wang Zhuo's successful action of turning on the light seemed to confirm his words, and everyone continued to share clue cards.

With a click, the light went off again.

"Isn't the current too unstable?" Orange said, going to turn on the light.

The light is not on.

Orange pressed the switch again and again as if he didn't believe it, but there was no response and the room was still dark.

"Is the light broken?" Gong Ye asked, "Let's ask DM to come in and take a look. I don't think this is a mechanical problem, it's just a simple problem with the light."

Everyone thought so, and Orange walked to the door and turned the doorknob to open it.

The door handle didn't budge.

"DM seemed to have locked the door when she went out just now." Orange knocked on the door, but there was no response from outside. She knocked on the door again with greater force and shouted, "Is anyone there? Is DM here? The light in the room seems to be broken. Please open the door and come in to have a look."

There was no response. Liu Lan was happily sitting outside the house playing with his phone, waiting to hear screams from inside the house. Under Lili's control, even if Liu Lan was outside the house, he could not hear any shouting or knocking on the door.

Jiang Qi sent her a WeChat message after Liu Lan went out, asking her to wait for his message before going in.

Orange in the room didn't get any response, and her face began to look a little ugly. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy. It was as if there was really a ghost in this room, and all of them were trapped in this room.

Everyone had turned on the flashlights on their phones, but the light wasn't very strong, as if something in the air had absorbed the light from the flashlights. But no one realized it, thinking it was just because the room was too dark.

"Is it the mechanism that prevents us from going out now?" Wang Zhuo guessed.

"Impossible." Orange shook his head. "This mechanism doesn't make sense. The door is locked and we can't get out. The DM can't come in to advance the plot. What does searching for these clue cards mean?"

"DM may have gone downstairs to get something. Let me give her a call." Qin Can opened WeChat and wanted to call Liu Lan, but found that WeChat showed no network.

Looking more closely, not only was there no network, there wasn't even any signal.

Qin Can began to feel that something was a little wrong. Why was this situation so similar to the horror and horror movies he had watched in previous years?

"I... my phone... seems to have no signal." Qin Can tried to control his voice so that it wouldn't sound so shaky. "Do you... do you have a signal on your phone?"
