☆, 67, do you want to play hide and seek?
Unfortunately, not everyone can see the warning given by the ghost doll. At least, among the five newbies, except for one who has some knowledge of metaphysics and can vaguely feel the ghost energy, the remaining four are very fearless of death.
They'd clearly conducted a thorough investigation of the haunted house before arriving, but even so, they still didn't take it seriously, viewing it as something slightly more challenging than the kind of haunted houses in amusement parks where couples could deepen their bond and confess their love. If the haunted house's regular patrons had heard of this, they would surely have scoffed.
Because it’s really not that simple. I’ll scare you to the point of peeing your pants in five minutes.
"When are we going in?" The person who first complained that Rongqing was mentally ill looked like he wanted to finish it quickly and go home after that.
After hearing this, the ghost doll turned around and looked at him, then laughed, and the air around them instantly became colder.
"This guy is doomed." The third brother and Xu Wang exchanged glances.
"I hope he's brave enough, otherwise only Brother Yu will have to go in and carry him." Thinking of the transformation that Guiwa had made to the haunted house in order to accommodate Rongqing's needs, Xu Wang also felt a chill all over his body. The point is, it is said that Ruining also seemed to be involved. If that is true,
Xu Wang and Lao San looked at each other and saw a trace of pity in each other's eyes.
However, no matter what, they have to go in.
Rongqing's grouping was also very interesting. He put all five newcomers into the same group. And the first group to enter for training was this group of newcomers.
"Brother Rong, aren't you afraid that they will get scared to death?" Gu Zhou felt weak in the knees just watching him.
"Don't be afraid. What Rongrong is most worried about is that they don't know what fear is." Yu Jiuyin said as he put on a coat.
"Brother Yu, you go in person." It was previously agreed that Gu Zhou and the others would follow Guiwa in to cooperate, but now looking at Yu Jiuyin's actions, it seemed as if he wanted to go in by himself.
"Well, this is Guiwa's first time doing this, and I'm afraid he won't know how to handle it." Yu Jiuyin walked into the haunted house. "Tell Shi Yang and the others to stay with Lao San and the others and don't come out. I see these newbies Rongrong found are armed with guns before going out, so don't let them get hurt."
"Brother Yu, are you okay?" Gu Zhou was a little worried about Yu Jiuyin when he heard that these people had guns.
"It's okay." Yu Jiuyin shook his head, "Just a few of them aren't enough."
"Yeah." Gu Zhou agreed, ran over and said something to Xu Wang first, and then called Shi Yang and the others out.
Xu Wang frowned after hearing this and subconsciously muttered, "Don't you think Brother Yu is always particularly concerned about Brother Rong's affairs?"
The third brother was speechless, "Did you just realize that he is single because of his ability?"
Xu Wang was silent for a while, "Is there anyone among us who is not single?"
Everyone was shocked. This is so heartbreaking.
Just like that, the Haunted House crowd happily watched the excitement from the monitoring room, while Yu Jiuyin went into the Haunted House to accompany Guiwa and take charge of the situation. As for the special case team members who were sent here by Rongqing for training, the first batch of five people finally entered the Haunted House.
"You have one hour to complete the mission. Solve the case in your area and find the complete background." Yu Jiuyin's voice reached everyone's ears through the microphone.
However, this overly simple mission didn't attract the attention of the five newcomers. One of them, who was particularly impatient, even complained casually, "What kind of training is this? Did the team leader get tricked?"
"Zhang Yao, please stop talking. The team leader is not the kind of person who would ask us to work for nothing." Another newcomer was more careful. He observed the surrounding situation and found that the design of Yu Jiuyin's haunted house was very interesting.
Whether it was the walls or the surrounding furnishings, they were all basic and common. But such ordinary decorations made me feel a bit creepy after staying there for a long time.
"The fear is piling up." The person who spoke this time was the newly recruited psychologist named Mingyu. He was just doing a task before entering the haunted house, but now he has some admiration for Yu Jiuyin.
"Do you see these lines on the wall? They look messy at first glance, but they actually have psychological implications."
"How to say"
"You can look at it from a distance. It doesn't take too long. Just stare at the lines for five minutes."
"Playing tricks." Zhang Yao said he didn't believe it, but his eyes still fell on the lines. Then, cold sweat broke out.
What the hell is this?
He suddenly realized that the red marks on the wall weren't the lines he'd initially imagined, but rather the scratches of bloodied fingernails. Like the final struggles of someone dragged away by the feet. From the pale white at first to the bloody, reddish-brown hue of their hands, each mark was filled with resentment and resentment, finally converging on the trapdoor to form a twisted, grimace. The face stared at them with a half-smile, and Zhang Yao shuddered, a chill running through his body.
"Everyone, be careful! There's something fishy about this haunted house." The last member of the group, who had remained silent, finally spoke up. Coincidentally, he was the only Celestial Master among the newcomers. While he hadn't yet joined the Metaphysical Association, he was already well into the metaphysical world. Therefore, he could clearly sense that there was more than one evil spirit in this house. The chilling ghostly aura sent a chill down his spine.
Seeing his reaction, the other four people became more cautious. Even Zhang Yao, who didn't believe in superstition at the beginning, restrained his contempt and became careful.
Yu Jiuyin hugged the doll and watched it draw on the notebook with a smile. At the same time, he took out his notebook and wrote relevant comments behind each person's name.
The thing about Zhang Yao is that his limbs are not in line with his brain, and his only advantage is that he knows how to adapt to the times and listens to advice.
At this time, the five newcomers finally stood in front of the six trapdoors.
"Go in now!" The five of them exchanged glances before deciding to each choose a door. Zhang Yao happened to go through the door at the very edge. But the moment he entered, he felt completely lost.
Unlike the haunted house he'd imagined, this place was a bit too pastel. Decorated in pale blue and soft pink, the princess' room was even more exquisite and adorable than any model apartment from a decorating company. For example, the soft mat he was standing on, its spotless white, made Zhang Yao instinctively want to take off his shoes to avoid staining the place.
So what is this house used for and where is the so-called case?
Zhang Yao looked around and didn't see any relevant hints. Finally, he decided to go into the house first to see what was going on inside.
"It should be a girl's room." Zhang Yao started checking the shoe cabinet at the door and found only two pairs of shoes. One pair was a pair of fluffy indoor slippers, and the other pair was a pair of brown ankle boots. There were no summer shoes, so did the owner of this room go out?
Going further inside, he saw similar things that girls would use in daily life. Apart from verifying that the owner of this house was a person with a very girly heart, Zhang Yao didn't find anything else.
Time passed by little by little, and Zhang Yao became more and more irritated because he could not get to the point for a long time.
"No, I should change rooms." Zhang Yao irritably took off his coat and tossed it on the bed. He felt dizzy at the pervasive pink in the room. But what frustrated him most was that he found himself unable to get out. The trapdoor seemed to be blocked from the outside, and no matter how hard he pushed, it wouldn't budge.
"What the hell? Are you sick?" Zhang Yao kicked the trapdoor angrily, but unexpectedly a piece of paper fell from the door frame.
The handwriting is very bold, like a boy's, and the content is also simple and clear.
"My girlfriend must be brave. If you want to be with me, you must pass my first test. Do you dare to play hide-and-seek alone?"
"What is this?" Zhang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had found the key clue. But then, the moment he got this clue, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.
This must be the air conditioning. There must be some kind of trap in the room, Zhang Yao told himself, trying to stay calm. He subconsciously put the note in his pocket and prepared to search for the next clue based on the information on it.
Hide and seek alone, this sounded very familiar. Zhang Yao took out his mobile phone and checked it online, and found that it was a spirit-summoning game from an island country.
The process of the game is also very simple. Not many things need to be prepared, such as a plush doll with hands and feet, rice, nail inlay, needle and red thread, a knife, glass fragments or similar sharp objects, and a cup of salt water.
After everything is ready, take out all the stuffing from the plush doll, then put rice and your own fingernails in it and sew it up with red thread, and wrap the remaining red thread around the doll.
At 3 a.m., tell the doll "I am a ghost" three times, then put the doll in a bathtub filled with water, turn off all the lights in the house, turn on only the TV, close your eyes and count to 10 seconds.
Afterwards, he took a sharp weapon to the bathroom, said to the doll, "I found you," and then stabbed the doll. Then he said to the doll, "Next is you," and immediately hid in a secluded place with salt water.
The game process, which seems almost child's play, has no theoretical basis and is even so childish that it makes people feel confused.
But the comments under the popular science post are quite sincere.
"Don't play it, it's a weird game because the evil spirit will come after you with a knife."
"I'm the host of the hide-and-seek livestream three years ago. I hid until today and finally managed to escape from the game."
"I advise everyone to be cautious, because my friend disappeared the next day after playing this game. Also missing was the doll he used to summon spirits."
This is ridiculous! Zhang Yao looked at it and thought it was ridiculous. But then, he felt something was wrong. He had the feeling that something in the room was staring at him intently. The malicious gaze was looming, and the temperature in the room was even lower than before.
Zhang Yao instinctively became alert, observing every detail of the room calmly. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the teddy bear on the bedside table seemed to tilt its head and glance at him.
However, before he could react, the doll's head suddenly fell off, and the rice inside, mixed with a few long nails, scattered all over the floor. The doll's head also rolled right to Zhang Yao's feet.
He subconsciously lowered his head, only to meet the strange eyes on that head. A foul smell spread throughout the room.
So, is there really a ghost in this house? Zhang Yao thought of a technique a colleague had told him about identifying ghosts. He hesitated, unsure whether to try it, but ultimately pulled out his phone and took a picture of the puppet's head.
In the camera, the puppet's head was twisted into a painful face, and its eyes were filled with resentment that made people's backs chill. At the same time, what was even more creepy was that there seemed to be a pair of white feet at the top of the photo.
There's someone on top.
Zhang Yao raised his head tremblingly, and saw that a rope had appeared on the roof at some point. A girl in a pink lolita dress was hanging from the rope. Her face was swollen purple, with bulging eyes of fear, and her lips were painted bright red. At this moment, she was giving him a mechanical smile.
As for her dangling feet, they began to sway rhythmically like the pendulum of a wall clock.
"Want to play hide and seek?"
The author has something to say about Zhang Yao. I don't play, don't look for me, please let me go.
