The stench in the corridor became stronger. Three medical students huddled together, all their attention focused on the puppet in the middle of the corridor. They did not hear the unusual noise coming from the dormitory behind them.
“How about we retreat back to the dormitory first?” Yang Chen’s suggestion was rather conservative. He didn’t know why he would be afraid of a puppet.
"Since we have already given up on the tour, there is no need to hold on any longer." Wang Yan simply gave up: "Just find the surveillance camera and let the staff take us out."
"I checked it when I came here. It seems that there is no surveillance installed in this hidden scene." Li Xue said in a low voice while looking at the puppet standing in the middle of the passage in the distance.
"Xiaoxue, how could you not tell us such an important thing as the lack of surveillance?" Wang Yan was able to remain calm before, largely because he knew clearly that if tourists wanted to give up while visiting the haunted house, they only needed to shout at the surveillance camera or make specific gestures, and a staff member would lead the tourists out.
He has nothing to fear because he can escape at any time.
"You didn't ask." Li Xue rolled her eyes at Wang Yan. "Don't worry. A professional haunted house like Boss Chen's must have surveillance cameras installed. They are just the kind of micro-probes that are hard to detect, so as not to ruin the atmosphere."
“It’s not a matter of atmosphere now, okay?” Wang Yan squeezed next to Yang Chen: “That puppet inexplicably appeared in the middle of the corridor, it must have followed us out!”
“It’s a bit strange.” Yang Chen frowned. The smell in the haunted house was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt more and more uneasy. “According to the description in the notes, the boy who was abused by his father was a fat man, but the person who hanged himself in the first room was very thin.”
"It's already late, why are you still analyzing?" Wang Yan was impatient. He kept muttering and urging, "Why don't the three of us rush out together? That puppet only has two hands, so it definitely can't stop us."
“Don’t make a fuss.” Yang Chen shook off Wang Yan’s arm: “The abused boy is a fat man, which doesn’t match the body shape of the doll. This means there is another theme in the hidden scene! The whole scene should be made up of two stories!”
"Two? That means there is still a monster that hasn't appeared, right?" Li Xue quickly understood what Yang Chen meant, and she looked behind her thoughtfully.
When her gaze moved to the dormitory not far away from them, her eyes slowly widened and her face turned pale in an instant.
"Xiaoxue? What's wrong with you?"
Li Xue seemed to have lost the ability to speak for a short period of time. A stream of air was stuck in her throat and it took a second or two to be completely released.
"In the back!"
Yang Chen and Wang Yan turned their heads at the same time, and saw a dead body wrapped in plastic wrap standing at the door of the dormitory. Its body was twisted and deformed, as if it was trying to break free from the plastic wrap.
What's even more terrifying is that behind the corpse was a dark and smelly smoke, which eventually turned into a shadow like a meat ball!
"What the hell is this?"
Wang Yan was hiding at the back of the team, closest to the corpse wrapped in plastic wrap. When he turned his head, his face was only half a step away from the corpse's face.
He never expected that there would be such a thing behind him. He didn't even have time to turn his head back. His hands and feet had already rushed forward at the same time. He screamed after he had rushed more than a meter away.
“Run!”
Yang Chen and Li Xue also woke up from their shock and followed Wang Yan closely, not caring about anything else.
They fled frantically, but what made them even more desperate was yet to come.
Blocking the other side of the corridor, there was a hanged doll. It suddenly raised its head, revealing a purple face covered with bloodstains.
It touched the ground with its feet and jumped towards the three medical students at a speed faster than that of the three medical students!
“Fuck you!”
Wang Yan, who had just run from the end of the team to the front, looked at the hanged ghost puppet rushing towards him and his face turned green!
There was a tiger behind him and a wolf in front of him. He was scared to death, but he didn't dare to stop.
Wang Yan felt that all his courage in his life had been used up at this moment. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward with his head held high!
“Bang!”
The jumping puppet was knocked into the corner of the wall. Wang Yan, who was rushing in the front, screamed and continued to run while covering his head.
With him paving the way, Yang Chen and Li Xue behind them also passed by the puppet smoothly. However, there was a small detail that the two medical students running at the back did not notice.
After the puppet fell down, its mouth opened and it smiled strangely. The rope around its neck stretched to Li Xue's ankles.
When the rope was about to wrap around Li Xue's feet, the puppet seemed to suddenly remember some terrible memories and pulled it back.
"They're still chasing!"
The noise made by the three was so loud that the tourists in the entire scene could hear it clearly.
The three of them tumbled and crawled out of the Western Suburbs Private College scene. Frightened, excited, and engaged in intense exercise, the three medical students felt as if they had just been through a trip to hell.
"I really can't run anymore."
Li Xue was not in good physical condition. She was pale, breathing heavily, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
“Take a break, I, we all take a break.” Yang Chen was also out of breath from running. He helped Li Xue away from the exit of the Western Suburbs Private College scene, and hurried to check on Wang Yan’s condition.
When he was running for his life just now, Yang Chen clearly saw that Wang Yan knocked over the puppet that was blocking the way.
"Wang Yan, are you okay?"
Wang Yan, who had always been careless and aggressive, and would never admit it even if he was timid or scared, was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his head. He gritted his teeth and tried hard not to let the tears flow out.
"Wang Yan! Don't scare me!"
"Old Yang, I feel like I'm dying." Wang Yan covered his head. His temper was so bad that there was a hint of tears in his voice. "That doll is solid. It's so damn scary. I don't want to play anymore. Let's call the police."
“No more playing, no more playing, get out now.” Yang Chen himself was also scared to death. He wanted to help Wang Yan up, but failed after trying several times. Wang Yan had no strength in his body and his legs were weak.
"Let's find the surveillance camera and ask the haunted house staff to rescue us. I think I have figured out the routine of this haunted house. The scary part is at the back. The scary scenes in the front are just to make us numb and careless." Li Xue had given up struggling. She didn't dare to stop outside the hidden scene alone. She walked to the two male classmates panting and said, "In our current state, it is probably impossible for us to get out normally."
"I remember there is a surveillance camera at every fork in the road. You guys wait here while I go get help."
Just as Yang Chen was about to leave, Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming came over.
The two men seemed to have noticed something, and without even looking at the three medical students, they stared at the entrance of the Western Suburbs Private College scene.
