Chapter 615 Boss, hold on!

Holding an equally plain flyer, Toyama Kazuha explained to Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru, "It does look a little shabby on the outside, but that's because we're participating in a school festival and we're using a temporary venue, so it's not convenient to set up. I heard the equipment inside is no different from a normal haunted house, and it's even more sophisticated."

A voice drifted faintly from the door of the haunted house: "The word 'fine' is used to praise the manufacturer. To praise us, you should use 'professional'."

The four people were startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that a corner of the curtain at the door was lifted.

The woman inside heard their conversation and was now poking her head out from behind the curtain.

It seemed that Ancai wanted to say something.

But her gaze stopped on Jiang Xia, and she paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "You look familiar..." After two seconds, "Oh, I remember now, it's that high school detective from Tokyo."

"..." Hattori Heiji cleared his throat beside him, "Ahem."

Wei Jian Ancai felt that the noise was a bit deliberate when she heard it.

So he turned around and looked at Hattori Heiji.

At the same time, based on his reaction, I vaguely realized something: "Are you a detective too?"

After saying that, he stared into Hattori Heiji's eyes and touched his chin: "The outline of the eyes seems familiar, and the pattern of the baseball cap on your head is also familiar. This age, plus the characteristics... Hmm? You are not the Osaka high school detective whose photo is always pasted on the black and white newspapers."

Toru Amuro sneered, choked on the candy apple, and coughed twice.

Jiang Xia raised his hand like a considerate employee and patted him on the back to calm him down.

Yuanshan Heye was struggling between "wanting to laugh" and "wanting to refute", and was temporarily stuck.

Only Hattori Heiji stood firm. A vein jumped on his forehead: "Do you have any manners?!"

"With such a big reaction, it seems that my guess was right?"

Ancai looked up and down Hattori Heiji and Jiang Xia, and suddenly revealed a cold smile: "Great, since you are detectives, you must have seen a lot of corpses - in this case, why not come and see my acting skills?"

"Acting skills?" Jiang Xia looked at her, then at the haunted house, "Are you going to play the corpse in the haunted house?"

"It's not a haunted house. Ancai is planning to act as a corpse in a horror movie."

The black curtain next to it was also lifted, and another girl with short hair walked out.

Compared to the hoarse-voiced, inexplicably frightening Yumi Ancai, the new person seemed much kinder. He spoke in a soft voice and had a good temper.

Katori Mutsu pushed up his glasses with very low lenses and smiled at Jiangxia and the others:

"We are students from the Art Department of the College of Arts, majoring in video art. Our graduation project is a horror film, which contains many scenes of death.

"Although I think everyone's acting is pretty good, Ancai has higher requirements for these... Well, since she is a detective who has seen many corpses, can you take a look at the 'corpse' she played and help give some suggestions?"

“……” What suggestions are there for playing a corpse? Just learn from the photos in the newspaper.

Toru Amuro felt that he had been away from campus for too long and was a little confused about the way these students were thinking.

But on second thought, it's normal for people who are involved in artistic creation to have strange ideas...

So, when Jiang Xia looked over as usual, intending to ask for his opinion, Amuro Toru said nothing, but looked into the distance, peacefully chewing the last bit of candied apple in his hand.

Jiang Xia looked at Amuro Toru's expression, was silent for a moment, and was a little worried about his boss's mental state.

However, thinking about the average number of hours Toru Amuro had stayed up lately, he felt relieved.

——It's not a mental problem, it's just that I haven't had enough sleep recently, so I look a little strange. After I get enough sleep, it will probably be fine and I can continue my journey...

…

No one tried to stop him, so Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and looked at the haunted house in front of him, which looked like something was going to happen, and nodded naturally.

Hattori Heiji felt that being invited to see "whether one acted like a corpse" sounded a bit strange and wanted to refuse.

But then I thought, I was planning to use someone else's haunted house to cause trouble. Although I had to act swiftly, helping the victim would at least alleviate the pain in my conscience...

So he nodded as well, indicating that there was no problem.

"Then it's settled." An Cai stood up and walked back into the haunted house with the same cold smile on her face.

The hanging black cloth blocked her figure.

Katori Mutsu looked at the shaking black cloth, then turned around to explain to the rest of the people: "Ancai is putting on makeup. She has very high requirements in this area, so it takes a long time to put on makeup. Everyone, please wait a moment. When you see this small light turn brighter..."

She pointed to a simple light bulb with a wire protruding from the wooden sign and said, "It means the project is ready and you can start experiencing it."

As they were talking, two more people approached.

However, the people who came were not the audience who wanted to experience the haunted house, but the staff here.

Two male college students were carrying lunch boxes and some drinks. While handing the food to Katori Mutsushi, they looked at Jiang Xia and others gathered at the door and said, "Are there guests? Where's Ancai?"

Katori Mutsu took the lunch box and drink and pointed to the haunted house: "Ancai went in to put on makeup."

"Put on makeup?" One of the young men was startled. "Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well today and wouldn't be participating in the performance?"

Katori Mutsu glanced at Jiang Xia and lowered his voice: "But it's rare to meet a few guests who have seen corpses. You also know how crazy she is about this..."

“…”

Tsuji Eitan and Minetani Takaichi were silent for a moment. Indeed.

"Come to think of it, since Ancai has joined the fun, why don't we join in the fun too." Fengya Takaichi whispered, "The appearance of this haunted house is too simple, and Ancai thinks we are no worse than other haunted houses out there, so he charged a very high fee. I was almost bored to death the whole morning, and it's rare that a few guests came..."

The other two people probably felt bored as well and did not object.

They discussed the matter among themselves for a while.

Then, Katori Mutsu bowed to the four guests who should be very resistant to being scared. "Well, I will go in and get ready. Although my acting skills are far from being as good as An'na's, I should try my best... Please take care of me in the future."

She also quickly returned to the haunted house.

The other two male college students stayed and looked at Jiang Xia and the others:

"Let us lead the way for you this time. There are actually quite a few forked paths in the haunted house. Although it is to give repeat customers a different experience, since you are here to help and give suggestions, it is of course best for you to visit all of them. With us leading the way, it is not easy to get lost."
