Chapter 152 [(*^▽^*)]
The other party breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, come in with us. With the two of you, we'll have a total of 10 people."
Xue Rui, "Does this haunted house require a minimum of 10 people to enter?"
He nodded, somewhat helplessly, "That's right, you need at least 10 people, otherwise they won't let you in. You've come at just the right time. Oh, by the way, don't worry, if you don't want to be with us inside, we can each go our own way."
Lin Leyou had no objection to this statement, "Then let's do it this way."
Seeing that the two agreed, they were relieved. There were only 100 players in total who came to this amusement park instance this time, as many others had gone elsewhere.
Not to mention, many players have already died.
They had been waiting here for a long time, especially the one who arrived first. He had been waiting the longest, and just when he was about to give up and go look around, Xue Rui and the others arrived.
Lin Leyou was initially worried that since he was an NPC and not a player, he might not qualify for a spot, but to his surprise, he actually got in without being stopped.
The two didn't care about the looks the other players were giving them, as if they were just cannon fodder to make up the numbers.
Upon entering the haunted house, the surroundings immediately became pitch black. Xue Rui instinctively grabbed Lin Leyou's hand, "Brother Lin, hold on tight, so we don't get separated later..."
Just as Lin Leyou was about to say something, he realized that all the players who had been walking in front of them had disappeared!
No, it's not that they disappeared, but rather that they simply walked forward without waiting for them.
Because it was very dark there, and they couldn't see much, they soon disappeared from sight and could no longer hear anything.
In this way, as long as these players are fast enough, it really seems like they've simply disappeared. But so be it, they don't want to mingle with other players anyway.
Lin Leyou looked at his wrist, which was being held by him. "Whatever."
Xue Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he was not rejected.
Lin Leyou looked inside and said, "Let's go. Don't worry about anything. Just treat it as if we're playing in a real haunted house."
Xue Rui remained silent. So, which part of this so-called "real haunted house" is "real"? Is it a real haunted house or a real haunted house?
They strolled hand in hand through the haunted house, and as they walked, it really felt just like a haunted house in the real world. It was terrifying, and there were even monster NPCs disguised as corpses that they recognized at a glance.
But they were all sensible enough not to expose them, instead pretending to be frightened and then continuing to walk forward as if they knew nothing.
Aside from faint screams coming from other places while visiting the haunted house, everything else was fine.
Oh, and sometimes you can hear thumping footsteps on the road, like something huge walking fast, but it certainly won't chase them.
They didn't encounter any other players along the way, probably because Lin Leyou's colleagues had deliberately kept the players in other places to play.
In short, the haunted house was quite fun. Xue Rui was thinking of trying to kill a monster inside, but Lin Leyou stopped him.
It wouldn't have been easy to explain inside. Looking at the dense fog outside, Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's strange why I stopped you from making a move earlier."
Xue Rui genuinely didn't quite understand. "Well, I didn't mean to blame Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou said, "I know you're not blaming me, otherwise you would definitely be angry. After all, a monster is worth several hundred points. If it were me, I wouldn't want to let it go either."
"You should remember what I told you before, that I can't fight with them, right?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, so I'm not worried that it will attack Brother Lin. I can kill it myself."
Lin Leyou shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I can't fight with them, but that doesn't mean they can't fight with you."
"I didn't make a move before simply because I felt you were already my prey, so I was giving you face, since we're colleagues."
"If you attack them first, then I can only watch you get beaten up, because I can't attack my colleagues."
Xue Rui thought of the monster he had killed sitting on the sightseeing bus before, "That one from before..."
Lin Leyou said, "The previous one was because it was alone there, isolated, and didn't have many ways to attack. It could only run away, but it was slow and eventually died at your hands. It was simply weak."
"But this haunted house is different. There are many monsters in the haunted house, not just one. So even if you want to take action, you should choose one that is alone, not here."
"In a haunted house, once the monsters realize they're outmatched, they'll call for help from their colleagues. How many monsters do you think you can handle by yourself?"
Xue Rui was stunned. How many monsters could he withstand by himself? At most two, but there were clearly more than two monsters in the haunted house.
He was somewhat surprised. "I...I understand."
It seems I was a bit careless. The monster near the Ferris wheel was quite difficult to deal with. It was climbing around on the Ferris wheel, and I couldn't attack it casually, even with a gun.
It looks tough and thick-skinned; it's hard to imagine how many shots it would take to kill it. And just because you can't attack Lin Leyou doesn't mean you can't attack the sedan chair.
What if that monster shakes down the carriage they're in?
Xue Rui took out the stamp belonging to the haunted house from his pocket and looked at it. It was a mini version of the haunted house sign, and it looked really cute.
Lin Leyou: "Now you have seven seals, right?"
Xue Rui nodded, "There are indeed seven now. Shall we go ride the roller coaster?"
Lin Leyou thought to himself, "They really are just kids." "Let's go."
Next, Lin Leyou accompanied Xue Rui to ride the roller coaster and the bumper cars nearby, and also killed a few players who came to cause trouble. Finally, they arrived at the carousel without any obstacles.
Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised to see the scene of blood flowing like a river near the carousel. "What happened? So many people are dead?"
Having just survived and gotten off the carousel, the only player was so frightened that his legs went weak, his eyes glazed over, and he collapsed to the ground.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui only saw this one player here.
She didn't ask any more questions, but waited until he came to his senses before helping him up.
Still shaken, he found a spot some distance away from the carousel to sit and rest. "You guys shouldn't ride the carousel anymore, it's really dangerous!"
"I thought the carousel would be safer, which is why I came to ride this, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. I can't really..."
Lin Leyou, "How do the monsters slaughter the players?"
His expression was one of utter terror as he shouted, "The monsters are those horses!"
horse?
Their gazes fell on the adorable prop horses—were these monsters?
"Don't be fooled by the fact that these are just props now. Once activated, these horses will transform into terrifying monsters and turn around to bite us to death!"
Lin Leyou, "Everything will change?"
"Everything will change, everything will turn into monster horses!"
Xue Rui stroked his chin. "This is getting interesting. Brother Lin, shall we continue playing?"
This shouldn't be happening. Logically, there shouldn't be this many monsters on a carousel. There must be a way to break this deadlock. Ah! Isn't there a player right in front of me who survived the level?
Lin Leyou, "Then how did you survive?"
He paused for a moment, then looked at the two of them with a somewhat malicious gaze, his eyes darting back and forth between them, before speaking strangely, "A horse that has killed someone will turn back into a normal prop horse."
"I survived because I jumped onto another horse that had already killed someone when I was escaping from the horse I had chosen. It had turned back into a prop horse."
He wouldn't mention that he stood on the prop horse, trembling with fear as he watched the other horses stare at him with blood-red eyes.
Lin Leyou said, "Before you, there should have been many people who rode this carousel. Didn't you see how they died?"
He sighed, looking dejected. "After the carousel started, you couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside. You could only hear screams coming from inside. When the survivors came out, no matter how you asked them, they wouldn't say anything and quickly disappeared into the mist."
"They've already run into the fog, so even if we chase after them, we won't be able to catch up. We might as well just give up."
Lin Leyou thought about it and decided to give it a try. Although the ground was covered in blood and corpses, the props on it were clean.
Xue Rui wasn't worried at all. "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou: "We're sitting in the same seat."
Xue Rui had no objection and took the initiative to sit in the front, giving the seat in the back to Lin Leyou.
And so, the two of them naturally rode the carousel, while the player below watched in stunned silence, then a smile appeared on his face. One of these two was definitely going to die.
The most likely candidate is the one sitting in the front.
After all, once it transforms into a monster horse, the person it turns around and bites will definitely be the one sitting in front.
Perhaps detecting that no other players would continue to sit on it, the device quickly activated.
At the same time, the player who was resting outside also turned his gaze over, but he really couldn't see inside, so he could only stare blankly in that direction.
It's as if they're asking, "Why hasn't anything happened yet?"
Lin Leyou looked at the prop horse they were riding, and it actually turned back to look at them during the journey, but its gaze was somewhat strange.
Lin Leyou patted its head and said the same old thing, "This is my prey."
The prop monster horse acted strangely, speaking up, "Why didn't you kill it?"
Lin Leyou was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this prop monster horse could talk. "Let it rest for a while before killing it."
The monster horse paused for a moment before saying, "Oh, you can do that? That works. I'll try it sometime."
