This is an ordinary double room.
The only unusual thing was that there were two beds covered with blue and white striped sheets placed in the middle of the room. The four corners of the beds were tied with elastic ropes, and there were large dark brown unknown stains on the ropes and the sheets.
The curtain separating the two beds was not closed, and blood-stained white curtains could be seen by the window.
In addition to the bed, there are two large cabinets in the room. The corners are rounded and the cabinets are made of iron. There is a transparent glass window on the top, through which you can see some medicines inside. The cabinet doors look tightly closed from the outside.
Outside the door, the NPC was walking towards this side with dragging footsteps and the buzzing sound of a chainsaw.
Shi Jin tried the door and found that it could not be locked.
According to the NPC's current trajectory, there is a high possibility that he will enter the room.
Although this is just a haunted house game, and there are no other consequences after being caught by the NPC except elimination, Shi Jin does not want to be eliminated so easily.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes quickly scanned the room, finally settling on the two tall cabinets.
He walked forward quickly.
Fortunately, the cabinet door was not locked, but unfortunately, the cabinet was divided into several layers by iron plates, and a person could not hide in any layer.
The noise outside the door was getting closer.
The tall NPC was dragging a chainsaw around to explore each room.
Shi Jin frowned, he reached out and tried to pull the iron plate in the cabinet, his brows relaxed slightly.
Fortunately, I was able to pull it out.
He pursed his lips and began to remove the iron plates layer by layer. Yu Ci helped him remove the iron plates and lowered his voice: "What did you see on the door just now?"
He just noticed that Shi Jin stopped in front of the ward for a while. Before coming in, he saw a piece of paper pasted on the door of the ward in the dim light, but time was too tight and he didn't have time to take a closer look.
"Escape Guide." Shi Jin frowned and loosened his hand - there was no way to remove this iron plate: "It says that the "Butcher Killer" relies on vision and hearing to catch prey, so during his action time, players need to hide in places that he can't see with the naked eye. As long as you don't make any sound, he won't search."
"But the 'butcher killer' has a fixed search trajectory, and will search along the trajectory of ward-bed-toilet."
As they were talking, most of the iron plates in the cabinet had been pulled out. Except for a piece of iron plate at the top where the glass window was located which could not be removed, the rest had been pulled out and carefully placed under the bed.
The footsteps of the "butcher killer" were getting closer and closer in the corridor.
There was no time to dismantle another cabinet.
Yu Ci let go of Shi Jin's hand: "I'll go under the bed."
Shi Jin pulled him back with his hand, frowning: "No, we will be seen."
The bed frame was a simple square iron bed, and the sheets were tucked under the thin mattress, so basically everything under the bed was visible.
Hiding under the bed means that one can only use dim light to cover his eyes. Even if the curtains separating the beds are drawn, there is still a possibility of being discovered, even if the "butcher killer" does not bend down to search under the bed if there is no sound.
Shi Jin held his hand tightly, his light-colored eyes flickering slightly in the darkness: "We can't take risks."
Yu Ci wanted to say it was okay.
According to the information he had searched before coming in, the main job of the NPC in a haunted house is just to scare people, and they mostly turn a blind eye to things like this where people are eliminated - after all, tourists have spent money to come in and play, so what's the big deal about eliminating people right at the beginning?
However, when he felt Shi Jin holding his hand tightly, Yu Ci quickly gave up the idea of telling this fact.
He shook her hand back, holding Shi Jin's slightly cold hand in his palm, and said, "Okay, I won't go."
But he didn't go under the bed. Apart from these two cabinets, the ward was completely empty, and he didn't have time to dismantle another cabinet, so...
Shi Jin pursed her lips.
He took Yu Ci's hand and pushed him into the cabinet first: "You go in first."
Yu Ci was taller, so he went in first so that Shi Jin could adjust his posture according to the remaining space.
Yu Ci also knew this, so he didn't refuse and quickly got into the cabinet.
However, as soon as he entered the cabinet, Jin discovered a problem - the upper part of the cabinet was made of transparent glass. If Yu Ci sat in a half-sitting position like this, half of his head would appear through the glass when viewed from the outside.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yu Ci asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Shi Jin pursed his lips and then quickly got into the cabinet.
The cabinet looked very big from the outside, but when Shi Jin came in, he found that the cabinet was not as big as he had imagined.
He and Yu Ci were now facing each other, and the width of the cabinet was not enough for their knees to face each other, so when he just came in, Yu Ci had to spread his legs so that he could barely squeeze into the cabinet.
The footsteps in the corridor stopped at the door of the ward.
Shi Jin held his breath, raised his right hand and placed it on the back of Yu Ci's neck.
Yu Ci's breathing stagnated: "You..."
Shi Jin had no time to reply. He hooked Yu Ci's neck downward with his right hand, lowered his head slightly, and closed the cabinet door with his free left hand.
Almost at the same time as the ward door was opened, the cabinet door was gently closed.
The bloodstained eyes of the Butcher turned around the empty ward. The noisy sound of the chainsaw was mixed with the heavy breathing of the Butcher, and the sound of the heartbeat was heard in the ward at the right time.
Shi Jin held his breath slightly and lowered his head.
However, the space in the cabinet was too small, and when he lowered his head, his whole body was almost buried in Yu Ci's chest.
Shi Jin pursed her lips and focused her attention outside the cabinet door.
The NPC in the ward was still searching the ward diligently.
The butcher in a white coat holding an electric saw first walked around to the bed, stared at the bed with his blood-red eyes for a long time, then pulled back the bed's quilt. After searching in vain, he walked around to the window and used the buzzing electric saw to pull open the curtains.
After searching in circles for a while, he seemed a little confused, and his red eyes slowly fixed on the cabinet in the corner.
The butcher stood there thinking for a while, then walked towards the cabinet by the wall.
The "murderer" made a lot of noise when rummaging through the cabinet. The crackling sound could be heard from a distance, making people's scalps tingle.
Shi Jin pursed his lips slightly and moved his legs when the NPC opened the cabinet door next to him - the space in the cabinet was too small, and his legs were a little numb from bending his knees for a long time.
However, with this move, problems arose.
Because of the space problem in the cabinet, the cabinet was not wide enough for them to sit with their knees facing each other, so Shi Jin almost half-sat between Yu Ci's legs.
So when he moved his leg, his right leg, which was not far away, directly touched between Yu Ci's legs.
In the dim cabinet, someone seemed to be breathing heavier for a moment.
Shi Jin didn't notice at first that his right leg, which was numb due to the awkward posture, was feeling a little soft. The softness was so strong that it blocked his other tactile sensations in his leg.
It was not until the tingling sensation faded away that Shi Jin realized belatedly that he felt something.
Something hot and hard was transmitting heat to his calves through the thin layer of trouser legs.
Shi Jin frowned slightly and didn't react. He just felt that this thing was too hard and too hot, and it poked his calf and made him feel uncomfortable.
The NPC made a lot of noise when rummaging through the cabinet. Shi Jin moved his lips and whispered, "Move your things away a bit."
Yu Ci's voice was a little hoarse for some reason: "What?"
"It's next to my calf." Shi Jin paid attention to the NPC in the ward: "It's too hard, it hurts my leg."
Yu Ci was silent for a long time this time.
It took so long that the NPC who was searching the cabinet slammed the cabinet door after searching in vain. He turned around and walked out of the ward as if he was angry. Yu Ci then spoke in a hoarse voice: "You can't take it away."
His breath was scorching hot as he spoke. Shi Jin sat very close to him, and the scorching heat crept up to his ears: "Just bear with it for a while."
The butcher holding the electric saw reached out and grasped the door handle of the ward door.
Shi Jin let out a breath, and his brain, which had been highly concentrated, finally relaxed a little.
It was precisely this relaxation that caused the burning temperature beside his legs to carry Yu Ci's words around in his mind, which quickly turned into a fact.
Shi Jin paused for a moment, and his light amber eyes shrank slightly.
Before his brain could react, his right leg suddenly pulled back, and his heel hit the iron cabinet directly.
“Boom—”
The iron cabinet was hit with a noticeable sound.
The butcher, who had already noticed that there was someone hiding in the closet but didn't intend to catch him, dragged his chainsaw and was about to go out: "..."
With such a big commotion, should he catch him or not?
Catch him. This tourist just came in and hasn’t had much gaming experience. Will he complain about him when he leaves?
I can't catch him, the noise was so loud that everyone in the next ward could hear it. If I don't catch him, it would feel like an insult to his intelligence.
The diligent NPC picked up the chainsaw and began to recite the haunted house staff manual.
When he recited Article 32, "A complaint will result in a 200 yuan deduction," the butcher walked out of the room with an electric saw in hand and a determined look on his face.
Don't catch! Absolutely not catch!
IQ can be insulted, but salary must not be deducted!
Workers will never give up easily!
The door of the ward was slammed shut.
Almost at the moment the door closed, the cabinet door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Shi Jin stepped out of the closet and felt that his right leg was still slightly hot.
Yu Ci walked out behind him, his ears seemed a little red in the dim light.
He coughed and looked away unnaturally for a moment: "Um... I didn't mean it..."
There are some things that he can't control just because he wants to.
He hid it well at first, but...
Thinking of the slightly cool touch through his trouser legs in the dark, Yu Ci's ears felt even hotter.
"Okay, the NPC has left." Shi Jin interrupted him. He pursed his lips and changed the subject abruptly: "We need to find a way out."
