Chapter 26: Dream Amusement Park (8)
"What's wrong with you?" A question mark slowly floated above Su Yue's head.
Cang Zhi calmly picked up the toothbrush from the sink, rinsed it, then rinsed his mouth and scrubbed the sink. Then he replied, "This toothpaste is too spicy. I'm not used to it."
"Oh, indeed." This reason was acceptable, and Su Yue nodded. "This toothpaste is quite stimulating."
Cang Zhi also nodded and continued brushing his teeth.
"Boss, is Cupid's Hut the project you came across while sorting out the warehouse yesterday?" Zhao Shuo asked. "Any information?"
"The only thing I know is that if there is an angel statue in that little house, that angel statue is filled with the designer's anger." Su Yue recalled the more than 200 angel statues in the black leather notebook and answered seriously.
Zhao Shuo: ...?
Su Yue smiled and said nothing more. After Cang Zhi finished washing up, the three of them went downstairs together. At this time, the manager downstairs had been shouting with a loudspeaker for a long time.
When I went downstairs, the testers from other groups had just come out. Everyone seemed to have come out from different exits and we didn't run into each other in the corridor at all.
The players in the thousand-level dungeons are basically veteran players. They look at each other when they first meet, and judge the quality of other players based on intuition and some obvious signals.
Su Yue didn't pay attention to the face, but went to look at the label first. Because it was still dark, to be honest, the face was not very clear. There was only a slight difference in height and body shape.
There is one person in the second group, and there are two people left in the third and fourth groups, leaving a total of eight people. It seems that the first group is luckier.
Before I could take a closer look, the manager's loud speaker blared again: "All team members are here! Now, please stand in groups! Prepare to take the safety test! No talking! No looking around! Violators will be punished!"
Then he looked at Su Yue: "Group One! Follow me first!"
It was the familiar little cart from yesterday. The manager got on, followed by Su Yue, Cang Zhi, and Zhao Shuo. The manager drove the cart towards Cupid's Hut on the map. He held the steering wheel with his left hand and the loudspeaker in his right hand: "Cupid's Hut is..."
After saying just six words, Su Yue raised his hand expressionlessly.
Pop.
Turn off his speaker.
"It's really noisy when you talk like that." Su Yue pressed the Taiyang acupoint and said.
manager:"……"
This manager looked like a weakling on the outside. As expected, after being bullied by Su Yue, he immediately became timid. Although he looked very angry, he did not dare to turn on the speaker again and continued to introduce:
"Cupid's House is an amusement facility that combines thriller, suspense and adventure. It is one of the main selling points of our amusement park, so safety testing is very important. All four groups of testers came together."
After the manager finished a brief introduction, he turned his gaze to Su Yue, the "Team Leader" of the First Safety Team. "When you're doing the test, you must pay attention to safety and avoid any more accidents! Otherwise, if you fail the safety test, not only will you be punished, but you'll also be short of manpower!"
Yesterday, Su Yue and the others had already realized that the so-called "safety test" meant that there would be various death traps during the operation of the game facilities. If the players died, it meant that they failed the safety test.
There are so many rides in this amusement park, and the tests seem so fierce that even entering is dangerous.
If Su Yue had been an ordinary player, he would have probably fallen to his death from the Angel Bungee Jumping Machine. No wonder the wipe rate of this game is close to 50%.
However, no matter how terrifying and threatening the manager's words were, Su Yue still ignored him calmly.
Although the amusement park was quite large to walk to, it didn't take long to drive there. In just a few minutes, Su Yue and the others arrived in front of Cupid's Hut.
Just looking at the map, I have no idea what the "Cupid's Hut" is used for. Now it seems to be a haunted house, because the sign of this building has some scary elements such as spider webs and crosses, and of course, there is also Cupid's representative, the arrow of love.
The hut had four entrances, one on each of the four walls. The manager led Su Yue and the others to stop in front of one of the entrances and said, "Come in."
"Don't you want to wait for others?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"Others are going to test other passages," the manager said. "You can just go in from here. I hope you can complete the safety test successfully."
"You must pass the safety test!" The manager stared at them again, enunciating each word in a robotic tone. "You must pass the test!"
.
Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Zhao Shuo walked into Cupid's hut.
The design of a haunted house generally has a buffer zone passage first. The horror experience officially begins after entering the door. If you feel any discomfort during the period, you can escape from the safety exit. The design of Cupid's House is similar, except that there is no safety exit. Even if you are scared to death, you can only move forward.
Because it was a survival game, the three of them had expected such a setting and didn't think it was a big deal.
After entering the door, there is a narrow corridor, which is very dark. On both sides are placed some ghost props that can flash and make strange noises. There are mistletoe wreaths on the fence, and some angel statues. These angels are luminous, with smiles on their faces. They are piled together, and there is a strange light in their eyes.
"Hiss." Zhao Shuo took a breath, "This thing is a bit scary."
Su Yue's voice was cold: "If you think about it, this is just one design selected from over 200, then it won't be scary at all."
Zhao Shuo: “…”
Yes, I even feel a little pitiful.
If it was just an ordinary haunted house, Su Yue would not be afraid at all, but this is a haunted house in a survival game, so something is bound to happen. Cang Zhi, as a puppet, walks in front to lead the way.
After climbing a rickety flight of stairs, I officially entered the haunted house. I pushed open the door and saw a sign hanging on the shabby little wooden door. On it were four large characters written crookedly in blood-red ink:
Until death do us part.
It's obviously a very romantic word, but because of the ink stains that look like blood, and the terrifying atmosphere around the room where the sign is, this word seems more like a prophecy when placed here.
"Until death do us part." Su Yue repeated the words with a smile, looking at Cang Zhi beside him, his eyes sparkling, "Let's go, Ah Zhi."
Zhao Shuo was inexplicably stunned and covered his chest with his hands in melancholy.
He didn't know why, but he felt that Cang Zhi seemed dazed by this sentence. However, he and Cang Zhi were not as familiar with each other as he was with Su Yue, so he didn't dare to ask.
From the perspective of a haunted house, this haunted house called "Until Death Do Us Part" is indeed quite scary.
For example, some streamers will suddenly float down from above your head, the side walls will bounce open, and then a little angel statue will jump out with a strange sound. For another example, when you enter a room, you will suddenly hear talking. The most terrifying thing is entering the second floor, a church-like room with many wooden coffin-like things lying in it.
When they reached the middle, the lids of the wooden coffins suddenly popped up with a bang, and then accompanied by an extremely terrifying loud noise, zombies in suits jumped out of each coffin. The zombies had pale faces, hideous features, and blood dripping from the corners of their mouths. They looked very real, and stood up with strange "ho ho" roars.
Zhao Shuo was heartbroken: "Ah ...
He was so scared that his hair stood up and he jumped eight feet high. If Cang Zhi hadn't supported his arm, he would have fallen to the ground.
At this time, Su Yue had already walked into the wooden coffin array with an expressionless face. He approached a zombie to observe it, his nose almost touching the zombie's face. Then he withdrew his gaze indifferently, "It's a prop."
The expression on his face read, "It's just a prop, not a ghost. How boring."
Zhao Shuo: “…”
"This looks like a wedding scene, which aligns with the words 'Until Death Do Us Part' hanging on the door," Su Yue said. "The celebratory decorations I saw when I went upstairs just now, and this church, are obviously where the wedding ceremony was held."
"So the coffins should contain the 'guests', those zombies from earlier."
As they were talking, Su Yue, Cang Zhi and Zhao Shuo walked through the church and into another corridor.
Cang Zhi took off the rapier from the armored warrior statue in the church and used it as a weapon. However, he looked a bit funny in his work clothes with a yellow background and blue edges and holding a very court-style rapier.
The corridor was still very dark, but compared with the previous startling experience, there were neither strange objects nor scary sounds. It could be said that the time was peaceful and quiet.
.
"To be honest, there aren't any horror elements in this haunted house so far." Zhao Shuo said after thinking for a while.
It was as if the player who was scared to death by the zombie guests just now was not him at all.
Su Yue and Cang Zhi looked at him silently.
Zhao Shuo: “…”
Zhao Shuo touched his nose, quickly cleared his throat, and said awkwardly, "I mean, as a haunted house, it's scary enough, but there's nothing truly fatal here. From the tone of the manager just now, the safety tests here should be more dangerous, but nothing has come out yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that Su Yue's expression became a little gloomy.
Su Yue nodded: "You are right to remind me, because there is still a very important element missing here."
"What elements?" Zhao Shuo was stunned. "Wedding, church, guests, ribbon decorations, we're still missing..."
He looked back at the pitch-black corridor, then suddenly understood and shuddered. "You mean the newlyweds haven't shown up yet?"
Just as Zhao Shuo finished speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the darkness at the end of the corridor, as if something was rushing towards them impatiently from the dark corridor.
Cang Zhi quickly stood in front of the two men, holding his sword in his hand, ready to fight.
At the same time, Su Yue suddenly pulled Zhao Shuo and said, "Run!"
