Chapter 56: Maybe there will be a surprise
The store "Adventure Challenge" is more politely called "adventure", but it is actually a "haunted house".
The front desk is facing the store entrance, only three or four meters away. It looks similar to the front desk in a hotel. The decoration is simple and mainly clean white.
There are sofas and green plants on the left and right sides of the front desk, which serves as a rest/waiting area.
The east-west corridor is quite long, and it seems as if there is no end from a distance. The total length is at least 200 meters.
This store and the program crew have an agreement that they will not be open for business today, so there are fewer customers in the store now and it looks deserted.
The director sat in the lounge area nearby and picked up the loudspeaker as usual.
"Today's afternoon event is 'Adventure Challenge'. Over the next four hours, guests will be immersed in various scenario rooms. The production team wishes everyone a happy experience!"
After the director finished speaking, the store staff came forward and handed a piece of paper to each guest.
Jiang Yunyao took it and saw that it was a "Disclaimer".
She took a quick look and saw that the challenge contained many stimulating scenes, which could be dangerous for people in poor health, especially those with heart disease.
If the challenger deliberately conceals his physical condition and signs this guarantee, then any health-related problems that arise will have nothing to do with the store.
While everyone was signing, the staff of this store began to explain, mainly introducing the characteristics of their place.
"Our store has been open for three years and has received countless positive reviews from players. The scenes inside are all based on real-life models, restored one-to-one, and absolutely guaranteed to be authentic!"
"So far, we have built four copies, each corresponding to an entrance and exit. Since the aisles are relatively narrow, if everyone wants to experience it together, we recommend that you split into four groups."
This grouping was not based on the program team's requirements, so there was no special emphasis on couples being in the same group. Everything depended on the guests' discussion.
The final decision was: Jiang Xie Ji Chen went to the west, and Lu Lin, Uncle Bin and Aunt Fang went to the east.
Jiang Yunyao and the others followed the staff to the west and saw two ordinary wooden doors with no signs on them.
The four of them stood at the door, still undecided on how to form a team.
Ji Shuyao wanted to be in the same group with Jiang Yunyao, but she couldn't bring herself to do so.
Shen Zhao didn't know what Ji Shuyao was thinking. He wanted Jiang Xie to be together, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Let's team up with Miss Ji! I'm a boy and I'm strong! If you run into any trouble, I can help solve it!"
Jiang Yunyao still remembered Ji Shuyao's reaction to the grouping in the morning, but now that Shen Zhao had brought it up, she couldn't just deny it.
She asked Ji Shuyao, "Do you want to team up with him?"
The subtext is, if they don't want to, then the two of them can team up.
Of course Ji Shuyao doesn’t want to do that!
But at this moment, Miss Ji was too embarrassed to admit her pride and was at odds with herself, so she was very unwilling to express her inner thoughts.
She nodded randomly and turned to walk towards one of the doors.
Shen Zhao saw her leaving and quickly chased after her like a little follower, "Miss, wait for me!"
Seeing that the eldest lady didn't seem reluctant, Jiang Yunyao didn't think much about it and turned to Xie Yixing and said, "Then let's go to the other side!"
Xie Yixing heard what Ji Shuyao said in the morning. He thought he was going to separate from Jiang Yunyao, but unexpectedly, things turned around and A Zhao took the initiative to find Ji Shuyao to form a team!
He replied happily, "Let's go!"
【One person is happy while the other is upset! 】
[I really want to rush into the screen and tell Missy: You won’t be able to make friends like this!]
[By the way, is Jiang Yunyao so insensitive to emotions? The eldest lady clearly wants to team up with her, but she doesn't react at all!]
Jiang Liangliang's empathy is terrible! Yet he claims to be number one in his field. He must have done something shameful to get that rank!
[The black man in front, get out of here! ]
[I feel like Jiang Yunyao is a straightforward person. She asked the young lady if she was willing, and when she nodded, she assumed she was willing!]
[It's over! A tsundere meets a straight shooter, this friendship is going to end in vain! ]
The passage behind the door was not particularly narrow, and could accommodate two people walking side by side. However, it was pitch black inside, and the only light came from the lamps in the hands of the guests.
The lamp was given by the staff of this store. It is spherical in shape, the size of a palm, and emits a pale yellow light. It can only illuminate objects within half a meter around it.
As Jiang Yunyao walked in, she shone the light on the wall next to her.
She felt it was too quiet and a little boring, so she casually asked Xie Yixing, "Have you ever been to a haunted house before?"
"No," Xie Yixing shook his head, "Everything in here is fake! It's not fun at all! It's better to play a few rounds of ranked games!"
Jiang Yunyao had never been to a haunted house and agreed with his point of view very much!
Although she had never seen ghosts or gods with her own eyes, she learned a lot from studying with her master.
Let’s put it this way, there is a wall between the two worlds. Unless someone does something and brings things from that world over, they don’t exist in this world at all!
But we are recording a program now, and we are on someone else's territory, so we can't express our disapproval of this game so bluntly.
She said, "This store must be quite famous! It has received countless positive reviews from players! Maybe there will be a surprise!"
Xie Yixing immediately took it seriously and turned to look at her, "Surprise? Will there be a treasure chest?"
Jiang Yunyao wasn't sure, "Should there be?"
Otherwise it would be so boring!
Xie Yixing became alert. He held up the small ball light in his hand and carefully shone it around.
Even though there were only walls around him, he remained interested.
Jiang Yunyao also wanted to know what the surprise was, so she joined the search team and, like him, took photos of the surroundings, not missing any clues.
"Haven't these two been to a haunted house before? I thought it was going to be something fun!"
[This is hilarious! Do you think if they haven't been here, there won't be much fun to watch? You really don't know them well enough!]
[Ahhhh, I'm scared, but I still want to watch it. What should I do? ]
【For those in front, cover your eyes and you won’t be afraid! 】
[Genius! Discharged!]
Ten seconds later, Xie Yixing suddenly shouted, "Jiang Yunyao! I saw it!"
"Where?"
Jiang Yunyao followed his gaze and found a piece of white clothing about four or five meters in front of her.
Normally, you can't see anything in the dark, but the white color is somewhat reflective, so even with a faint light, you can see clearly.
"Let's go and take a look!" Xie Yixing pulled her and rushed forward excitedly.
Only after they walked over did they see clearly that it was a corner and there was a person standing behind the corner.
The man was wearing a tall white hat with the word "white" written in black on it.
He was dressed in white, with long white hair hanging down to his ankles, his face was painted with pale paint, and his eyes were motionless.
Obviously, this is "White Impermanence"!
