Chapter 9 Wuwuwu...
The young man sitting on the sofa looked towards the bedroom from time to time, then raised his hand to check his watch - it was exactly ten o'clock.
It had been two hours since Lu Fangchi got up. He had packed up more than an hour ago and was sitting on the sofa waiting. About forty-five minutes ago, Zhou Zheng said "it's almost done", but there had been no sign of him since then.
Before Lu Fangchi's patience was completely exhausted, the bedroom door handle bent downwards, and the alpha finally came out.
"Okay, let's go." Zhou Zhengshanshan arrived late.
Lu Fangchi looked at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "Are you going to do this?"
Zhou Zheng looked down at himself, and it seemed that nothing was wrong. He turned back and forth to show it off and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
He looks good, but a little ostentatious. The short stubble from his buzz cut was styled with hair gel. He wore a military green parka with overalls of the same color and a pair of black boots on his feet. His already slender legs could not be ignored. This outfit made him look very cool, young and energetic.
"It's OK, but these shoes make my feet tired. You have to queue up for the rides in the amusement park." Lu Fangchi was honest and pragmatic. After all, his outfit was much lighter, a black down jacket, jeans, and a pair of sneakers, which gave him another kind of carefree, lazy handsomeness.
Zhou Zheng only heard the first half of the sentence: "As long as it looks good."
Well, let him be, Lu Fangchi said no more.
Set off for the amusement park, park the car, get the ticket, and queue up to check in.
Just one second after I stepped in, a white flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder, and dark clouds rolled over my head. The sky, which had just been clear, was instantly shrouded in darkness.
This is a prelude to rain.
The other tourists who entered the park obviously noticed the change in weather and rushed indoors. Zhou Zheng and Lu Fangchi followed the crowd and entered the indoor playground.
Not long after entering the room, bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, turning into thin silver threads, which fell down in large numbers and formed a rain curtain.
The rain is heavy and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon, so some outdoor entertainment activities will be temporarily suspended.
There were complaints all around: "What bad luck! Why did it rain as soon as we entered the park? Sigh!"
"I checked the weather forecast in advance and it said it would rain, so I saw it was sunny when I went out, so I went there with a lucky break. I didn't expect it to rain the moment I got in."
"And it looks like they're not going to stop anytime soon, so we won't be able to play a lot of games."
Lu Fangchi didn't complain too much, but he felt a little bit of regret in his heart. In fact, he had never been to the amusement park.
But after all, he is an adult alpha in his thirties, and his ability to regulate himself is still very good. He suppressed his subtlety and looked up at Zhou Zheng beside him: "Are you disappointed?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head and replied with a smile: "Not disappointed."
There is nothing to be disappointed about. Even if I don’t play anything today, I won’t be disappointed. I will be happy as long as I am with Lu Fangchi.
The relaxed expression on Zhou Zheng's face didn't seem fake. As long as he wasn't disappointed, Lu Fangchi turned around and looked inside. It seemed like there was something fun here as well.
With the mentality that they couldn't come here for nothing, Lu Fangchi suggested: "How about trying some indoor projects?"
"Okay." Zhou Zheng agreed readily.
Ten minutes later, Lu Fangchi began to regret his suggestion.
The eerie door had three big characters "Mad House" written on it, with white skulls and scarlet marks creating a terrifying atmosphere. The ticket gate was lit by blue-green lights, as if something could burst out at any moment. It looked very ghostly.
Even though we know it's all fake and just the usual decoration of a haunted house, the constant screams of tourists inside make people feel uncomfortable.
Lu Fangchi had never been exposed to these things and rarely watched horror movies. The entrance of the haunted house made him want to back out.
This shouldn't be fear, right? He just doesn't like this eerie feeling.
Is it okay to propose to break the contract again? The young man frowned and thought worriedly.
After a long time of not being able to come up with a good metaphor, Lu Fangchi simply threw the question to Zhou Zheng, "Do you want to play?"
Zhou Zheng seemed calm, but in fact he was in turmoil.
He is handsome, an S-level male alpha, 24 years old, parachute jumping, bungee jumping and surfing are no problem for him, he is fearless but he is afraid of supernatural powers.
The young man's question made it difficult to back down.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Zheng didn't reply, so Lu Fangchi reached out and touched his arm.
Being touched unexpectedly in such a gloomy environment, Zhou Zheng shuddered, his body bounced, and his hair stood on end.
At this time, a highly similar conversation was heard from the side: "Want to play?"
"Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid to play?"
It was clearly heard by Lu Fangchi and Zhou Zheng.
Lu Fangchi didn't think much about it. He just hoped Zhou Zheng would say no.
Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, was very involved, and his pride started to take over: "Let's play, of course we have to play."
Lu Fangchi froze for a moment, but he asked again, "Really?"
The environment was too dim, and neither of them could see each other's faces, let alone catch the subtle expressions. Adding to the stimulation of the previous sentence, Zhou Zheng automatically interpreted Lu Fangchi's question as "contempt".
"It can't be fake." Zhou Zheng straightened his chest to show courage, but the fearless expression on his face revealed his inner feelings.
Lu Fangchi and Zhou Zheng were queuing at the door, each with their own thoughts. Lu Fangchi's frown had never relaxed since the moment he bought the ticket. The ticket seller was wearing a bloody hospital gown, with long black streaks under his eyes and a red mouth that stretched to his temples. He smiled eerily and blessed, "Welcome to the immersive haunted house. I wish you two a happy time."
Lu Fangchi quickly took the ticket, handed one to Zhou Zheng, and then followed the sign to enter a small closed room. As soon as he stepped in, the door behind him slammed shut, making his heart tremble with fear.
There was nothing but darkness in front of him. He could not see his hand in front of him. It was so quiet and terrifying. The unknown filled his heart with fear. Lu Fangchi felt creepy and started to back out as soon as he entered.
The next second, an electronic voice suddenly sounded above my head: "This is a mental hospital. Please help the protagonist Li Qian escape from the hospital. However, because she has been trapped in the hospital for too long, Li Qian seems to have some mental problems..."
Almost in an instant, a beam of white light suddenly lit up in the dim environment, illuminating the hospital bed not far ahead. A woman was sitting on the bed with long hair covering her face.
The sudden appearance of the NPC made Lu Fangchi's heart jump to his throat. Then, his hand on the side of his leg was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone, and it was squeezed painfully.
Zhou Zheng's slightly trembling voice came to my ears: "Pull it, it's very dark."
Lu Fangchi was so preoccupied with himself that he didn't notice Zhou Zheng's abnormality. He held Zhou Zheng's hand tightly back, and it did feel better when they held hands together.
The two of them moved forward little by little, and walked tremblingly to a position half a meter away from the bed.
"Player, please take a step forward and stand at the location of the footprints." The electronic prompt sounded again, and then fluorescent green footprints appeared on the ground.
...It's too close, it's almost right up to my face.
Lu Fangchi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then took two steps forward with difficulty and stood still on the footprints.
The moment she stepped on the footprints, there was a "click" sound from the ghost girl's neck, and then her head rolled down and hit right in front of the two people's feet.
Zhou Zheng reflexively stretched out his foot and violently kicked the head open, but he used too much force and the head flew into the wall and bounced back.
"Don't come over here, ahhhhhhhh!" Zhou Zheng screamed, holding his head with his hands and pressing towards the corner of the wall, his legs still kicking the air uncontrollably.
Zhou Zheng's sudden overreaction left Lu Fangchi dumbfounded. The alpha hid in the corner, trembling, covering his ears with his hands, and began to hypnotize himself: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay... I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..."
The scene of the 1.9-meter-tall man curled up with his head in his hands was inexplicably funny. The other party's excessive fear actually dissipated some of Lu Fangchi's fear.
As the head fell to the ground for the second time, a key rolled down due to the violent impact, making a crisp "ding dong" sound.
Lu Fangchi's eyes lit up and he could go out.
The key was inserted into the hole and turned, and the door opened with a "click". Lu Fangchi pulled up Zhou Zheng, who was curled up in the corner and closed himself, and entered the next link.
Just like when they first entered the haunted house, the two people had just stepped in when the door behind them slammed shut again, as if to indicate that there was no way out.
With the previous experience in mind, Lu Fangchi's heart only skipped a beat this time. However, Zhou Zheng beside him was frightened and the cold sweat from his palms became sticky on Lu Fangchi's hands.
Lu Fangchi reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
In this environment, any slight movement would scare Zhou Zheng. He jumped when he was slapped, and then he leaned his head on the young man's shoulder and whimpered, "I don't want to play anymore. I want to go home."
Even though it was really tragic and pitiful, it somehow tickled Lu Fangchi's funny bone. He tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips so as not to laugh out loud and add fuel to the fire.
With the sound of a switch being turned on, the long corridor in front of him suddenly lit up with white lights section by section, and then flashed rapidly. The black and white changed into red lasers that spread forward and were swallowed by pure black. It turned into red and black again and flashed. An NPC in a striped hospital gown suddenly appeared with twisted limbs rushing forward. Coupled with the tense and rapid sound effects, it seemed like a deadly evil ghost.
Lu Fangchi was so frightened that his throat tightened. Zhou Zheng became even more exaggerated. He turned around and slammed the iron door behind him, shouting, "Let me out! Let me out now!"
The iron gate remained motionless, and the murderous evil spirit was getting closer and closer. Zhou Zheng finally slid down the wall with his head in his hands in despair, curled up on the ground and said, "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Zhou Zheng looked so miserable that the NPC didn't have the heart to scare him anymore. He slowed down his pace and escaped into the secret passage.
Lu Fangchi's heart calmed down, he squatted down and patted Zhou Zheng's shoulder, "He's gone, let's go quickly, before anything else comes out."
Zhou Zheng rolled over and with the help of Lu Fangchi, he stood up with difficulty, his legs weak and shaking.
Walk through the long corridor and enter the corner stairs, and you will score again. This time the NPC is holding a "buzzing" electric drill. The green monster has a weird smile on its face and starts chasing and killing people.
Lu Fangchi felt his hands were empty, and Zhou Zheng beside him ran away and disappeared without a trace.
Two seconds later, Zhou Zheng, who was frightened to the point of being speechless, returned again. He hurriedly pulled up Lu Fangchi and started a 100-second sprint. The iron gate that could obviously be opened inward was violently kicked open by the irrational Zhou Zheng, making a loud "bang" sound.
The huge commotion created by Alpha attracted all firepower, and NPCs came from all directions to hunt down this saboteur the entire time.
Zhou Zheng ran around everywhere and bumped into obstacles, including the wall and the door. Finally, what Lu Fangchi said before he left the house came true.
It seemed like he stepped on something. Zhou Zheng stumbled and fell to the ground, causing Lu Fangchi to kneel down.
After Zhou Zheng fell, his hand held down a very soft object. He subconsciously raised his hand and found that it was a large silicone lizard. It was made very realistically, with green eyes emitting a faint light, which scared people half to death in this environment.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Zhou Zheng yelled again and threw and kicked the lizard away. He quickly climbed up Lu Fangchi's legs and then climbed onto his back, clamping his legs tightly around his waist and abdomen.
There are such scary things underground!!!
"Wuwuwu..." Zhou Zheng kept wailing. He couldn't take it anymore. He really couldn't walk anymore.
Lu Fangchi had no choice but to carry Zhou Zheng on his back and walked towards the exit with difficulty, carrying the 1.9-meter-tall alpha.
The key was used to open the last door, and he finally succeeded. The strange sound gradually became lighter, and Lu Fangchi panted slightly: "Okay, I'm out."
Zhou Zheng quietly raised his face and slightly opened his eyes. When he saw that the underworld light was no longer blue-green, his heart finally settled down.
Zhou Zheng's rationality gradually returned. He jumped off Lu Fangchi's back and began to look around, but he didn't dare to look into the young man's eyes.
He couldn't face Lu Fangchi anymore, it was too embarrassing.
At this time, a staff member came over and broke the silence: "Do we need surveillance video? If you need it, please leave your contact information and we will send it to you within three working days."
Zhou Zheng's eyelids jumped. This kind of ugly surveillance video was absolutely unacceptable!
Alpha opened his mouth to say no, but Lu Fangchi took the lead and raised his phone to scan the code: "Thank you, I've added you."
"Also, your companion just broke an iron door and a prop head in the secret room. The depreciation totals fifteen hundred yuan. You need to pay for it here." The staff member's voice was slightly apologetic.
Lu Fangchi expressed his understanding and transferred the money quite readily.
I don't know if it was because of money, but the surveillance video that was supposed to be sent in three working days was sent to me right after I left the door. Lu Fangchi opened it and took a look. He burst out laughing after watching it for only half a minute. It seemed that because of Zhou Zheng next to him, the young man pursed his lips and tried his best to hold back his laughter, but a little laughter leaked out from time to time.
Zhou Zheng closed his eyes. He could imagine how funny he looked in the video without even watching it. He leaned his head against Lu Fangchi's shoulder and admitted in a muffled voice, "Laugh if you want to. I'm a coward."
What followed was Lu Fangchi's clear and hearty laughter. The alpha's honesty made the young man comfort him: "It's okay. I'm scared too."
Zhou Zheng's expression changed and he looked up: "Really?"
"Really?" The young man nodded, his eyes narrowed, "But I'm not as scared as you."
Zhou Zheng was choked and cursed in a low voice: "Bad bastard."
It was still raining outside, and there were only so many things to do indoors. After all the hassles in the haunted house, Zhou Zheng and Lu Fangchi didn't have the energy to play anymore, so they decided to go home.
Zhou Zheng was sitting in the passenger seat, looking out at the dark clouds and drizzling rain. He felt cold and unwilling in his heart. His first date was ruined like this. It was such a failure.
The car was moving forward steadily and steadily, passing by the flowers, plants and trees one by one. There were only two more intersections before home, and Zhou Zheng's mood became increasingly depressed.
The car stopped at a red light at the intersection and Zhou Zheng saw a movie promotion on the big screen in the shopping mall outside the car window.
Got it. Alpha's eyes lit up, and he turned to the driver's seat and suggested, "Want to watch a movie?"
It was still early, and there was nothing much to do at the amusement park. Lu Fangchi had all his time at his disposal today, so he naturally had no doubts about Zhou Zheng's suggestion, "You can go and watch."
