Chapter 004: Netherworld Cemetery (Part 3)

In Bai Tao's sight, it was dark outside. Not to mention the wife that Hao Shu mentioned, even Hao Shu's figure disappeared.

But Hao Shu's voice was still there.

"I knew you were not dead, honey. I am here to accompany you. We will be together forever, ah..."

Halfway through the words, a scream replaced them.

The cry was short, lasting less than a second, and then it returned to silence.

"Hao Shu, are you okay?"

Huang Hong responded with a chewing sound.

The continuous sound of crackling is chilling.

"Close the elevator, close the elevator quickly! Outside, there's a monster outside, ugh."

“Hush, Marley, do you want to lure the thing in the dark over here?”

They were in the same room with nowhere to escape. What if Mary pressed the button and the others in the elevator got into trouble?

The chewing sound died away and the elevator door closed with a snap.

Yao Xue was the first to break the silence in the elevator: "What did you see?"

Except for Hao Shu, everyone else saw only darkness.

"Hallucination? Why is it that only Hao Shu has hallucinations?" Yao Xue didn't understand.

The others were also puzzled, only Bai Tao noticed Hao Shu's violation of the rules. Due to her character, Bai Tao could only pretend not to know. After all, Shi Mao's suspicion had just been dispelled.

"He must have accidentally violated the rules and was affected by the copy, which led to hallucinations. This is the terrifying part of ghost stories. You don't know when you've been tricked."

After persuading everyone, Shi Subaru changed the subject: "So when you encounter something, it's best to speak it out. Keeping it in your heart will only make things worse."

Huang Hong said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's too cool outside. I almost rushed out just now."

"Everyone hold each other, so that no one will run away again."

Ma Li was still frightened and grabbed Yao Xue's sleeve. What happened just now was so terrifying.

Yao Xue took a step back and said, "You should take care of yourself." Then he bent down and picked up some hair from the ground. "Do you think hair is considered a personal property?"

Bai Tao wiped the sweat off her head and reminded Tian Zhen: "Is sweat considered a personal item?"

After being comforted, Ma Li and the trembling college student standing at the back calmed down.

The topic changed too quickly, and when Huang Hong took out the rule paper, he realized that the two were discussing the fourth rule.

【After visiting the house, please take away your personal belongings and keep the room clean. 】

"But isn't this something you only need to be concerned about when you're touring a house?"

Yao Xue rolled his eyes: "Why, an elevator is not a house?"

Shi Subaru: “It’s always better to be careful.”

She glanced at Huang Hong and suggested, "It's best to memorize the rules on the rule sheet."

"People are different." Huang Hong could only say this. Didn't he want to recite it? He recited it, but he couldn't recite it.

"Then take a closer look, so you don't get too excited and rush out of the elevator like a fool following others." Yao Xue mocked.

Huang Hong glared at Yao Xue and buried his head in memorizing the rules.

During this time, the elevator door opened twice on the 18th floor, but no one went out.

However, it can be clearly felt that the temperature rises a lot every time the elevator is closed.

Everyone looked the same, sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked.

With a ding, the elevator opened for the fourth time.

This time the elevator didn’t show the 18th floor, nor did it show any other floors. It didn’t show anything.

"Is the elevator broken?" Huang Hong asked.

"I think we've arrived." Mary was very hot. She felt that the area outside the elevator was heaven and she really wanted to go out.

Huang Hong stood still and did not respond. He was very self-aware and decided to leave the thinking work to others.

The heat caused his brain to shut down, so he looked at Yao Xue.

Shi Mao asked Yao Xue: "What do you think? Is ten minutes enough?"

Yao Xue was a little hesitant, and she was not sure whether she should walk out of the elevator.

When I asked the staff, she would just reply with a deadpan face: "Please make your own decision."

Or 'Guests can go out if they want', 'Guests are not advised to go out'.

No tendency is revealed at all.

Yao Xue thought that if he went out, the visit might fail due to lack of time; if he didn't go out, he might never be able to go out again.

More importantly, she didn't want to bear the weight of other people's lives.

What are they looking at her for? Those expectant eyes are so annoying!

"If you want to go out, go out. If you don't want to, stay. We are all adults. Don't act like a giant baby and expect others to make decisions for you."

After saying this, Yao Xue regretted it. She didn't want to argue with Shi Mao.

But when the words came to my lips, it turned out like this.

I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't open my mouth.

Shi Subaru didn't care and nodded in agreement: "You are right, everyone has their own ideas," she decided, "I will say first, I am not going to go out."

After saying this, he made way for everyone.

In ghost stories, the more you are asked to do, the less you can do it.

So Shi Mao couldn’t get out of the gamble.

"No, I have to go out. If I miss this opportunity, I'll never be able to go out again. If I stay any longer, I'll be roasted." Mary retorted. She really hated the sticky feeling.

No matter what she said, Mary didn't move. She didn't want to leave alone.

"Well, there is only one staff member. If we go separately, how will the staff be divided? Are we going to split Miss Zhang into two?"

The octopus tentacles shrank.

Yao Xue asked the staff member who had been pretending to be dead without any hesitation.

"What will you do if the guests separate?"

Zhang Yu answered honestly: "Follow the majority of guests."

"What if the number of people on both sides is the same?"

"Follow the majority of guests." She still gave the same answer, but the octopus tentacles on her chin started to fight fiercely.

What this means is that if the number of people is the same, why not just reduce the number manually?

No one compromises, and emotions run high, so it's easy to have thoughts of excluding dissidents.

There are at least ten kinds of white peach, ways to make the "guests" fight.

Silently clear your mind of bad thoughts. It's all the fault of the ghost story copy that your mind is so active.

After confirming the majority decision, Bai Tao chose to stay.

She counted and found that it was definitely less than ten minutes since she came in.

The rule sheet stated that they had to visit each room for 'at least' ten minutes, and the word 'at least' also ensured that they would not be trapped in the elevator.

"Okay, I'll stay too." Yao Xue said.

The votes were now three to one. Huang Hong grabbed his hair and said, "You are smarter than me. I will listen to you."

Mr. Xu didn't say anything, but just stood silently in the elevator.

Five to one, if Mary doesn’t ask to go out.

The elevator closed, and within the next minute, it opened and closed three or four times as if it was having a seizure. Its impatient look made everyone realize that it was right to stay in the elevator.

For safety reasons, everyone counted silently in their hearts, and only prepared to leave the elevator after ten minutes.

Before leaving, everyone cleaned the elevator consciously, clearing away all the water stains and hair.

The walls of the elevator are so clean that they can reflect the acne marks on a college student’s face.

"Remember, exit the elevator with your left foot first," Shi Subaru reminded.

Ma Li quickly agreed: "Ah, yes, yes, left foot, left foot." She didn't think of this rule when she was trying to get out of the elevator before.

"Yao Xue, let me see the rule paper. I don't remember it. I need to recite it again." Ma Li stared at Yao Xue with her eyes rolling.

Huang Hong nodded as well.

Yao Xue took out a paper on elevator rules from his pocket and passed it around.

Greed cannot be stopped. After reading it, Xu Sheng was about to give the rule paper to Yao Xue.

He was intercepted by Ma Li: "Well, my memory is not good, let me keep it."

He quickly put the rule paper into his pocket, determined not to give it to anyone who asked for it.

Yao Xuecai would not indulge Ma Li: "I took the risk, what did you do? Give me back the rule paper."

Ma Li covered her pocket and hid behind Xu Sheng: "The world is corrupt, someone is going to beat someone up."

Yao Xue was infuriated by this shameless behavior of turning the tables.

I thought to myself, if you say to take action, then I will take action. In this ghost story copy, who will tolerate you!

Shi Subaru stood up and said, "We are guests, we cannot fight."

However, both sides were too excited. Everyone listened to her, and the other people were also in a bad mood. As a last resort, Shi Subaru used the prop [Everyone listen to me] again.

[Name: Everyone listen to me, I am a SB (props)]

[Description: When you say "Everyone listen to me", the people who hear this sentence will keep quiet and listen to you carefully. Within one minute, they will accept your control. Shout out "I am an SB" loudly, and everyone will think what you say makes sense and do what you say. The louder the voice, the better the effect.

Note: The more people there are, the stronger the effect will be; the more times it is used, the weaker the effect will be. When it loses its effect, the affected person will be disgusted with the user; objects with strong spirits are immune to control. 】

This is the item she got after clearing the dungeon.

She asked Ma Li and Yao Xue to calm down and repeated the words of cooperation. As for the rule paper that caused the dispute, Shi Subaru put it back.

Bai Tao was not controlled this time, and even discovered the location of Shi Subaru's tool, which was a whistle hanging around Shi Subaru's neck.

The control effect ended, and Ma Li and Yao Xue had forgotten their previous dispute.

Bai Tao began to look forward to the gifts from the world.

Props are not omnipotent. Bai Tao saw Ma Li at the end of the team, and she sneakily took out a piece of paper from the bulletin board and put it in her pocket.

Without a doubt, Mary took the rule sheet out of the bulletin board.

Baitao: "..."

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

Ma Li covered her pocket, looking flustered as if she had done something wrong: "No, what are you doing? Let's go, let's go."

Bai Tao spread her hands. She had tried her best, but Ma Li was blinded by greed.

Everything has been taken and the rules have been violated. Bai Tao can only respect the fate of others.

"Is this the floor we took the elevator to?" Huang Hong was a little doubtful about his memory.

"Not sure, the furnishings should be the same." Shi Subaru looked around and took note of the details of the corridor.

The rules of getting lost are still hanging over your head.

She urged: "Be careful not to get lost and follow the staff closely."

Zhang Yu followed the guests, looking as relaxed as if he was on vacation.

Seeing her, Yao Xue got angry: "You are a staff member, I am a staff member? Hurry up and lead the way, or I will complain to you!"

Zhang Yu showed her white teeth, and even her octopus tentacles looked arrogant. She was fearless: "Dear guest, complaints can only be made in the lobby."

Zhang Yu walked even slower, obviously delaying time.

"Can I go back the same way and file a complaint against you?"

Yao Xue gave Bai Tao an appreciative look and responded, "Yes, we will go back and file a complaint against you."

Zhang Yu paused, then walked to the front and led the way with a speed that was completely inconsistent with his slow movements.

Huang Hong followed suit: "Ms. Zhang, walk slower. You don't want to see your name on the questionnaire, do you?"

Zhang Yu looked aggrieved. He glared at Bai Tao with extreme resentment and slowed down.

Baitao: "..."

Okay, okay, Huang Hong is threatening you, just glare at her, right?

She seriously suspected that Gou Gou had ordered Zhang Yu to make things difficult for her.

As expected, for the second house, Zhang Yu specifically named Bai Tao.

Let her be the first to visit the room, and prohibit Bai Tao from entering with others.

Bai Tao: Gou Gou, I will remember you.
