Nan Wenxin slid down first, and then Liu Yuqin and Liu Chenge quickly followed.
Zhang Yang was petrified with fear and was pulled into the passage by the fat man, who then jumped into the passage as well.
Bai You followed behind. The heavy footsteps coming from outside were getting closer and closer. Bai You quickly got into the passage. Before sliding down, she did not forget to close the door of the secret passage.
This passage is like a slide. A group of people passed through the passage and slid directly into the basement.
Nan Wenxin, the first one to come down, couldn't brake and slid forward a long way. She felt as if she had hit something.
Liu Yuqin and Liu Chenge reacted quickly when they landed. They braked with their feet and stood up immediately.
Zhang Yang's experience was not so smooth. He said he slid down headfirst. If the last section of the slide had not been relatively flat and the fat man had not pulled him from behind, he would have braked with his face.
Zhang Yang had completely lost his soul. He squatted beside her, drawing circles and muttering, "I want to escape, but I can't."
Bai You also slid down. She landed smoothly with a neat flip. "When I came down, I heard footsteps approaching. It might be the ghost chasing me. Be careful when entering and leaving the room from now on."
Zhang Yang started shaking again when he heard this, "Ahhh, why on earth should I come to the haunted house with you guys?"
At this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Zhang Yang continued to complain, "Brother, don't comfort me. This haunted house is too scary. Why don't we go play the fun version? That one is obviously much better than this one! Don't you think so too, brother?"
Zhang Yang turned around and wanted to whisper a few words to his brother who was comforting him, but he found that the one comforting him was not a fat man, but a skeleton. So the one on his shoulder was...
(,,#?Д?)
Zhang Yang was completely petrified. He pointed at the skeleton and opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out. He just said silently: There is a skeleton here.
The others around him seemed to be scared out of their wits when they saw him.
The fat man helped Zhang Yang pull the bones off his shoulders and patted him. "Alright, you're back to life. These are all fake, you don't have to be too scared."
Zhang Yang's soul had just returned to his body. When he heard what Fatty said, his face turned sad. "I know this is fake, but I'm still scared. If I wasn't worried about ruining your experience, I would have wanted to leave first, woo woo."
"An, take courage."
"Think about the instructions we received before we came in. They said ghosts can't harm people. Wouldn't it be better to think of it this way, like watching a horror movie?"
Others comforted him.
Bai You walked forward and looked at the skeleton. He found that the skeleton's other hand was tightly holding a broken pocket watch. "Zhang Yang, that's good. You found a clue. Keep up the good work."
After hearing what everyone said, Zhang Yang felt that he could do it again. "Hey, I actually found a clue. I guess I'm not bad after all."
"Yes, believe in yourself and you can do it!" Nan Wenxin clenched her fists to cheer Zhang Yang up, but in fact, she was also cheering herself up. She was actually afraid QAQ.
Liu Yuqin and Liu Chenge observed the pocket watch and found that the hands pointed to a specific time.
This time should be the key to solving the next puzzle.
"So are we going to look for the clock next?"
"By the way, let's take a look at the map first. Is there any change?"
Bai You took out the map from his pocket and found that the markings on the map had changed.
This time the group turned into an upward arrow, pointing to a rectangular clock.
"Does this mean we should go up?"
"But the basement seems to be locked."
"There must be some unsolved problems. Let's look for them again."
A group of people began to search around again, even lying on the ground and knocking on the bricks, but found nothing.
There was nothing unusual about this basement, only a skeleton. After looking at it for a while, it was not a big deal. Zhang Yang recovered a little and said, "Since we are going up, shouldn't we check the ceiling?"
He pointed triumphantly at a hook on the ceiling and said, "See, it's still me."
Then he jumped up impatiently and pulled the hook on the ceiling.
“Crash.”
A pile of coal dust fell down, choking Zhang Yang and causing him to cough.
"Ahem, oh my god, what is this?"
The fat man leaned over to take a look and patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder. "You're so lucky! There should be a fireplace up there. There's a chimney connected to it. We can go up the chimney."
Bai You came over to take a look and nodded, "Indeed it is possible."
Liu Yuqin and Liu Chenge dragged two shelves, one high and one low, over together. "We can use these as stepping stones to climb up."
Nan Wenxin also said, "Zhang Yang just happened to help us clean up the remaining ash."
There wasn't much ash left in the old fireplace to begin with, and the little ash that was left fell off when Zhang Yang did that.
Zhang Yang was dissatisfied, "So I'm the only victim?"
The fat man laughed and joked, "It's better for me to die than for my friend to die."
Bai You stepped on the shelf and looked up. The chimney flue was equipped with a climbing frame. They could climb up along the ladder. She made an OK gesture downwards and began to explore the way ahead.
The fat man looked at the remaining people and said, "You decide how to go. I'll go last."
“Me first!” “Me first!”
Nan Wenxin and Zhang Yang said in unison, then looked at each other and quickly rushed to the shelf, determined to get one step ahead of the other. Then, because neither of them wanted to admit defeat, the two of them started to wrestle with each other.
