Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, not far ahead, a faint beam of light penetrated the darkness, as if it was the only hope in the darkness.
"Go and take a look!"
Sister Xu urged, and the four of them quickened their pace and ran towards the beam of light.
As the distance got closer, they found that the beam of light came from the gap of a half-open door.
When they pushed open the door, they were shocked by the sight before them - it was a huge underground space with an ancient altar in the center.
Various strange instruments and symbols were placed on the altar, and more bone racks were scattered around the altar.
Completely different from those seen in the passage before, these skeletons were obviously bloodier and more disgusting, exuding an indescribable majesty and horror.
If I were to use one word to describe the current situation, it would probably be: vomit.
Because a normal person’s first reaction when seeing this place is to vomit, because the scene is a bit bloody and there is a distinct smell of blood in the air.
MMP! The owner of this store is really a jerk!
This is the consensus of everyone now.
"This...what on earth is this place?"
Zhao Tangtang's voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear and curiosity.
"It seems we're getting close to the truth. But it's just for a secret room, why make it so disgusting?"
Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes wandered around the altar, as if looking for something.
"We must find clues as soon as possible and leave here."
Sister Xu's voice was firm and powerful. She knew that in this place full of unknowns and dangers, any moment of staying could be fatal.
So, the four of them joined hands again and embarked on this adventure to find the truth and escape from terror...
"Bah! What a crappy haunted house! Instead of doing your job, you set up an escape room, and you made it so unique."
Jiang Zhiyuan's flashlight suddenly went out, and the surroundings were instantly swallowed by darkness, leaving only faint gasps and heartbeats echoing.
She couldn't help but curse, and quickly took out the spare battery from her pocket, trying to restore the light.
No wonder the staff gave them some new batteries before entering the secret room. It turned out that this was the reason. Their boss is really a dog!
"The boss of this place is such a jerk. He actually came up with this idea. The flashlight ran out of battery halfway through the walk. What a clever trick."
Sister Xu and the others couldn't help but complain.
"Who says it's not? I wish this boss will never have instant noodles without seasoning and shit without paper towels again."
Jiang Zhiyuan quickly reinserted the battery, and only then did a glimmer of light appear.
"Don't panic, everyone gather together and take turns using the flashlight."
Sister Xu's steady voice rang out in the darkness. She pulled Zhao Tangtang and her agent and slowly moved closer to Jiang Zhiyuan.
"This haunted house is really well designed. It makes people love and hate it."
Zhao Tangtang's agent smiled bitterly and tried his best to make his voice sound less trembling.
Suddenly the world turned black, and anyone would feel scared in an unfamiliar environment.
After some effort, the flashlight finally lit up again. Although the light was dim, it was enough to illuminate a small area ahead.
The four of them gathered together, scanning the flashlight beams back and forth between the altar and the surrounding bone racks, looking for possible clues.
"Look, these skeletons seem to be arranged in a regular pattern."
Jiang Zhiyuan pointed around the altar and said, her eyes flashing with the light of discovering a new world.
"Indeed, these skeletons seem to form a pattern."
Sister Xu squatted down and carefully observed the traces on the ground.
Zhao Tangtang and her agent also came over, and the four of them began to work together to solve the puzzle made of bones.
After some effort, they finally discovered that the skeletons were arranged in a certain order, pointing to a stone slab on the altar.
That slab of stone looked no different from any other slab of stone.
"That slate might hold a secret!"
Jiang Zhiyuan shouted excitedly. She walked towards the altar carefully and reached out to push the stone slab.
The stone slab moved slowly as she pushed it, revealing a secret compartment.
In the secret compartment, a yellowed diary lay there quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of the destined person.
What an old plot. Why is there either a notebook or a letter in every secret room?
Who in their right mind keeps a diary these days?!
Don't we all keep secrets in our hearts? If they are written down, can they still be called secrets?
After so many years, can't the routine be changed? You are not tired of it, but we are all tired of it.
"It seems that this is the clue we are looking for."
Sister Xu took the diary and gently opened the first page.
As the contents of the diary gradually unfold, a piece of dusty history slowly appears before everyone.
It turns out that this underground space was once a sacrificial site for an ancient tribe, and those skeletons were warriors and innocent people who were sacrificed for the sacrifice.
"This...this is too cruel."
Zhao Tangtang's voice was filled with pity, mainly because the description of this process was extremely realistic, even including a timeline and photos.
"Yeah, but that's the story, we can't change it."
Sister Xu closed the diary, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"However, what we need to do now is to find a way to leave here."
Jiang Zhiyuan reminded, her eyes scanning the surroundings again.
It's just a made-up story. How come their feelings haven't changed at all over the years? It's either a sacrifice or some political strategy.
Is it possible that apart from the dead, there are no other scary things this year?
After some searching, they finally found a secret exit on the other side of the altar.
Pushing open the door, the long-lost sunlight shone on them, and the four people finally walked out of the underground space full of horror and unknown.
"Huh, it's finally out."
Zhao Tangtang breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile of surviving a disaster appearing on his face.
That place is so scary, especially when you think about the fact that all those corpses are real.
"Yeah, this experience was really exciting."
Sister Xu's agent smiled and said that although the process was full of fear and anxiety, looking back on it now, it seemed extremely unforgettable.
"That's right, and we also cracked the hidden mission in the haunted house and earned a bonus of 10,000 yuan!"
Jiang Zhiyuan proudly raised the bonus check in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.
At this time, she had completely forgotten her complaints about the boss and sincerely thanked the boss for his generosity. She didn't expect that such a rich man would really give.
Then they walked around again and had a lot of fun.
"You guys go back first, I still have something to do."
Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly stopped halfway and said to the other three people with a bright smile.
