The door of the haunted house was suddenly opened, and a group of tourists who were still eager to experience the new experience walked out, discussing the thrilling parts of the haunted house in groups.
Jiang Nuan: “…”
Xia Qingying: "......"
Xiao Qi looked up at the sky awkwardly, not daring to meet their gazes.
That shouldn't be the case. He clearly remembered that it was here. Could it be that the organization moved?
A man wearing a ghost robe and a skull mask walked towards them.
"Hello, I'm the person in charge here. Are you here to experience the haunted house?"
He enthusiastically introduced to Jiang Nuan and his group the wonderful features of the haunted house.
But Jiang Nuan, who had important matters to attend to, could not bear to listen any longer and turned around and wanted to leave.
Xiao Qi immediately grabbed Jiang Nuan's hand in a hurry and spoke quickly.
"Wait, wait, Sister Nuannuan, maybe this organization is hiding in the haunted house!"
"So you mean, let's go explore the haunted house together?"
Xiao Qi, who was anxious not to let Jiang Nuan leave, immediately realized this problem.
Haunted house...
Before Xiao Qi was picked up by Jiang Nuan and brought back to the organization, he had been living alone under a dark bridge. Naughty children and street thugs would always appear suddenly, scaring him and then leaving with laughter.
This also led to Xiaoqi being afraid of the dark during organizational activities later on, and he had to turn on a small light to sleep.
Not to mention Xia Qingying, who has been afraid of ghosts since childhood.
Although she has become much braver in recent years, it does not mean that she can try a haunted house, which is a new place for her.
"For Sister Nuannuan, I'll fight!"
"Um... I don't need to go, right? Or should I just wait for you outside?"
Xia Qingying had already started to back out before she even entered, and her voice was trembling.
"You're not coming with us? Didn't Gu Shiqing ask you to stay by my side all the time? If I disappear in this haunted house, how are you going to explain it when I get back?"
"I don't believe the boss is really going to kill me! Anyway, I won't go into the haunted house with you guys!"
Xia Qingying said with her neck stiffened.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught by ghosts if you stay outside alone?"
Jiang Nuan rolled her eyes, narrowed them and began to scare Xia Qingying.
As he spoke, he walked to Xia Qingying.
"Just like this...while you're not paying attention, swipe!"
Jiang Nuan grabbed Xia Qingying's shoulders, scaring her so much that she screamed loudly.
"Ah—I'm with you! I'm with you!"
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Seeing Xia Qingying's frightened expression, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Alright then, let's go in and find out!"
Jiang Nuan waved his hand and took Xia Qingying and Xiao Qi into the haunted house.
"Qingqing, can you loosen it a little? It's too tight, I can't move."
"No, I like this position."
"Xiao Qi, if you two are together, I...I can't handle it..."
"Sister Nuannuan, you have to believe in yourself. You can do it."
Jiang Nuan glanced speechlessly at the human-shaped pendants hanging on both sides of her. They all held Jiang Nuan's arms tightly, fearing that Jiang Nuan would abandon them and run away in the next second.
There was no other way, so Jiang Nuan had to slowly use her toes to test the direction to move forward.
It seemed as if his foot accidentally kicked something, and a green light suddenly appeared in the dark haunted house. Puffs of smoke blew behind him, accompanied by the sound of ghosts howling.
"Wow, Nuannuan, I'm so scared..."
Xia Qingying buried her head in Jiang Nuan's shoulder and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Xiao Qi, I feel like this is just a very ordinary haunted house. It's not some...powerful organization like you mentioned."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure flashed by, scaring Xiao Qi so much that his brain short-circuited and he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Nuan, who didn't get an answer, turned to look at Xiao Qi. She didn't know until she saw him, and she was shocked.
A big face appeared behind Xiaoqi, grinning at her.
Jiang Nuan couldn't stand the sudden fright and inevitably broke out in a cold sweat.
"Xiao Qi, there is someone behind you."
"Wha…what?"
Xiao Qi plucked up the courage to look back, and his narrowed eyes suddenly met the eyes of the "ghost".
"ah--"
Xiao Qi suddenly turned around and hugged Jiang Nuan.
"Hey, Xiaoqi, he seems to be mumbling something."
With the help of the faint green light, Jiang Nuan saw the "ghost" muttering something.
Xiao Qi: “…”
Jiang Nuan listened carefully to what the "ghost" said.
"Mountains and rivers are so dense that it seems there is no way out...Mountains and rivers are so dense that it seems there is no way out..."
"Mountains and rivers are so dense that there seems to be no way out?"
Jiang Nuan was a little confused.
"Xiao Qi, why does he keep repeating this sentence?"
Xia Qingying, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time.
"Nuannuan, he might be asking you to continue his sentence. The next sentence is that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Tell him quickly and tell him to stop scaring us."
Three black lines appeared on Jiang Nuan's forehead.
Forget it, let's try it out.
"Wait! I remember now! The next sentence is 'I'm in trouble and need help! Sister Nuannuan, that's the code!"
After hearing the familiar words, Xiao Qi finally remembered the secret code he heard them discuss in the organization.
"They also said this?"
Jiang Nuan was a little surprised.
"Yes, they thought the organization's code was too... too corny, so they gathered together to complain about it."
"Yeah, indeed, I think so too."
Jiang Nuan nodded in approval.
The ghost's tense face, not covered by the mask, revealed his speechlessness.
Is it really okay to complain about the organization's code words being tacky in front of other people?
"Mountains and rivers are so dense that it seems there is no way out."
"I'm in trouble and need help."
"Please follow me."
The "ghost" finally stopped repeating the ancient poem, but bowed to Jiang Nuan and the others, and then led them inside.
Wandering around in the haunted house with complicated terrain, if Jiang Nuan didn't have good night vision, he would have been lost long ago.
Just when Jiang Nuan was about to become impatient, the "ghost" stopped.
"Why don't you keep going? Did we go to the wrong place? Isn't there a wall ahead?"
Xiao Qi looked at the snow-white wall in front of him and asked in confusion.
The "ghost" ignored him and took out a palm-sized mechanism and pressed it lightly. The wall made a loud noise and then began to rise slowly.
"Oh, it turns out to be a rolling door."
