Pei Hu took several steps back before he could steady himself, his face pale.
"Are you okay? What did you see?" Wang Wenlong and Xia Meili from behind hurried over.
"Don't worry about him, it's just a little wind and waves. Look how scared he is?" Wang Hailong's legs were shaking and his face was twitching slightly, but he still pretended to be calm: "It's just a few human models."
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when the remaining three people came over.
There were suddenly more than 20 figures in the dim classroom, which was scary enough. What was even more terrifying was that they all turned their heads to look in the same direction. Some of the puppets had their necks turned 180 degrees, with their heads hanging on their backs, staring at people. Who could bear this?
"I was wondering why I wasn't scared at all during those scenes. It turns out he was preparing for his ultimate move." Wang Wenlong was still calm. He took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
"Wenlong, the owner of the haunted house said that you are not allowed to use your cell phone casually." Xia Meili reminded him.
"He can't see anyway, it's okay." Wang Wenlong pointed his phone at the last classroom, and the light flashed across a doll: "They should all be dummies. When the light shines into their eyes, none of them blinks. Wait a minute! I saw the school sign, there are two!"
"Where?"
"It's on the dummy's coat!" Wang Wenlong pointed his phone at a certain place, and everyone looked there.
There is a school badge hanging on the collar of a doll in the middle of the classroom, and there is another school badge on the table at the innermost part of the classroom. If you want to get these two school badges, you must pass through all the dolls.
"This haunted house owner is so wicked!"
"It's fine for the five of us to come in. If we really follow the rules he set and go into the haunted house alone to look for the school badge, we'll be scared to death."
"Okay, don't let others' ambitions be boosted and your own prestige be destroyed." Wang Hailong walked back and forth a few steps, and finally felt that his calves were not so numb. "There is still enough time. There must be a lot of school badges in this classroom. We must not only go in and look for them, but also look through them carefully and find them all!"
"Brother Long, think twice! It's not worth risking your life for 5,000 yuan." Pei Hu was scared to death just now, and his mind was in a mess.
"Is it as serious as you say? Stop talking nonsense and come here!" Wang Hailong dragged Pei Hu to the door of the last classroom.
"Why am I the first one to enter?!" Pei Hu showed a strong desire to survive.
"I'm afraid you'll run away. You're as cowardly as a mouse. Are you worthy of your name?" Wang Hailong pushed Pei Hu directly into the last classroom, then turned to Dou Menglu and Xia Meili and said, "The three of us men will go in and take a look first. If there's nothing wrong, you two can come in later."
"Well, be careful."
"It's okay. Wenlong just checked. There are only dummies inside." The two brothers Wang Hailong and Wang Wenlong also entered the classroom. The three of them stood on the podium and looked down. Suddenly, their hair stood on end and their scalps went numb.
"This is too crazy. It's full of people and there's not even a place to stay."
"Pei Hu, you are timid. Go and get the classroom sign. Search the desk drawer and give me the farthest school sign." Wang Hailong acted like an elder brother at this time. Although Pei Hu was not happy about it, he didn't say anything.
"Brother Long, these dummies look weird. It's like their eyes can move!" Pei Hu shrank back before he even stepped down from the podium.
"Will you die if you say less?" Wang Hailong was also nervous because of what Pei Hu said.
"It's normal to have negative emotions when looking at the dummies. The owner of the haunted house should be taking advantage of the uncanny valley effect. Things that look similar to humans will arouse our instinctive disgust." Wang Wenlong gave an explanation, but this explanation could not even convince himself.
"Enough! Stop talking. The owner of the haunted house has already counted the time outside. You will be considered successful only if you find all the school badges within 20 minutes. Don't waste time." After saying this, Wang Hailong walked down from the podium and walked to the innermost corner of the classroom alone.
"Brother Long is very generous." Pei Hu walked towards the middle desk hesitantly. He was fat, and when he was walking down the podium, his belly hit a standing puppet next to him, and the puppet shook slightly a few times.
"The person who designed the haunted house must have had traumatic experiences as a child..." Pei Hu muttered. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone bumping into him on the back: "Wenlong?"
Turning his head, he saw Wang Wenlong was two or three meters away from him.
"Who touched me?" He stood there in a daze for a moment, looking at the still shaking puppet.
This doll is very realistic, just like a living person, and you can't tell the difference unless you look closely.
"Did this mannequin touch it?"
Pei Hu shuddered, not daring to stay, and walked to the desk in the middle.
Sitting in this position is a girl. Her school uniform is different from other school uniforms. There are a lot of blood stains on it, and it seems that she has suffered something painful in the last period of her life.
Pei Hu looked at the school badge on the collar of the girl's school uniform, mustered up all his courage, and stretched out his fat hand.
His fingertips were getting closer and closer to the girl. When they were about to touch her neck, the girl, who had her head turned towards the window, suddenly moved.
"Damn it!" Pei Hu's hand bounced back immediately as if it had been electrocuted.
"Did it really move? Could it be someone pretending to be someone else?" He looked around. Wang Hailong was still at the innermost part of the classroom, and Wang Wenlong was not far away from him. His companions were all there, which gave Pei Hu more courage.
He reached out again and finally grabbed the school badge.
"Success." Although it was not a great thing, Pei Hu still felt very happy in his heart. But just as he was about to retract his arm, he found that a rope had been pierced through the school badge and tied into a knot around the girl's neck.
"Damn it! It's poisonous!" He now wanted to kill the owner of the haunted house. Holding the school badge, he took another step forward.
The classroom was very dark and he couldn't see clearly. He took out his cell phone to illuminate the room and bent down to get closer to the girl.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when the light from the phone screen shone on the girl’s face, the expression on the doll’s face seemed to change.
Pei Hu did not realize this. He stood behind the girl with his cell phone in his hand, and lowered his head to carefully untie the rope.
But just when he was concentrating, Wang Wenlong next to him suddenly took a breath and said in a staccato voice: "Something is wrong, why do I feel like this puppet is following me all the time?"
"Are you overthinking it?" Pei Hu, who had just broken through himself, smiled. He was about to continue untying the rope when he suddenly discovered that the girl sitting in the middle of the classroom had turned her head to her back at some point, and the distance between their faces was only half a finger's length.
