Wang Yan looked at the secret passage behind the cabinet and felt a little flustered. The doctors gave him a very strange feeling. They were friendly and kind at first, but after hearing that he had skipped class, their tone and demeanor changed significantly: "Did I say something wrong? Skipping class is not a big deal, right? A university life without skipping classes is incomplete. Many seniors have said so."

Stopping at the entrance of the secret passage, Wang Yan took a step inside. The temperature in the passage was much higher than outside. He hesitated for a long time and then retreated.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Li followed closely behind, he couldn't wait to leave.

"It's okay, I just think those doctors look a bit like our dean." Wang Yan was in a complicated mood: "What a ghost, I thought I would encounter all kinds of scary things, but I never thought I would encounter a school teacher when I was skipping classes. Could it be that there are too many people from our school visiting Boss Chen's haunted house, and the teacher is worried that it will affect our studies, so he came in to arrest people?"

"Alright, alright, this is your first time skipping class, right? It's normal to be nervous. You'll get used to it after a few more times." Xiao Li urged Wang Yan to leave. "We both fainted at the same time. You were placed on the bed with two layers of mattresses underneath, and I was thrown directly on the wooden board. From their attitude towards us, we can tell that those doctors should be your acquaintances. They will definitely not lie to you."

"I also feel that they are very familiar, but I don't have any impression of them at all."

Bubbles kept coming out of the hole in the center of the morgue pool in the house, the lights on the wall flickered, and the iron doors in the corridor made slight noises, as if someone was pushing them back and forth.

In this situation, Wang Yan did not dare to delay too long, for he was afraid that the wall lamp would go out and the monsters would chase him again.

"Let's go. If you are scared, I will go ahead and you just show me the way." Xiao Li has been working for many years. He is steady and smart. He is the bravest employee in the Virtual Future Park. At this time, he stood up bravely.

Wang Yan did not reject Xiao Li's kindness. He made way for him and watched Xiao Li enter the secret passage: "Be careful."

"I know." Xiao Li took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight on it. "Let's go quickly. I don't want to see those doctors next time I open my eyes."

The two men entered the secret passage one after the other. The passage became narrower and narrower, and the walls were covered with blood-red patches of something similar to moss.

"Why isn't it the end yet?" The further Wang Yan walked forward, the more nervous he became. The secret passage was only wide enough for one person to pass sideways, and his clothes inevitably rubbed against the "moss" next to it.

His clothes were wet and his skin was a little itchy, and he followed Xiao Li, feeling very uneasy.

"This should be the way to the outside." Unlike Wang Yan, Xiao Li was very confident: "Have you noticed that the smell of formalin in the air is almost gone, and there is a very fresh fragrance in this passage.

Wang Yan sniffed the air and indeed smelled a fragrance, but he was not as optimistic as Xiao Li: "Is it coming from the moss on the wall?"

I reached out and touched the wall. The cold and hard wall was covered with moss and felt very soft.

"Finally, I don't have to smell that strange smell anymore. This road should lead directly to the outside world. I guess the secret passage exists to facilitate the exit of tourists. After all, most people can't stand this haunted house. The existence of the secret passage is equivalent to a surprise, just like now." Xiao Li bent down, and the passage became much lower and the ground became softer, as if a thick carpet was laid.

"I think formalin smells more familiar." The fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose made Wang Yan want to vomit: "This is not a normal fragrance, nor does it smell like artificially synthesized chemical fragrance. It smells very strange."

Wang Yan tried his best to recall and finally remembered: "When I read the ancient Xiyuanlu, it introduced a kind of corpse fragrance. The description of the corpse fragrance is very similar to this fragrance."

"Corpse fragrance?" Xiao Li shuddered. It was the first time he heard of this thing.

"There are many kinds of corpse incense. One of the more famous ones is the one that uses the oil from the corpse of a beauty to make candles. After going through a special process, it is burned and placed in the house..."

"Stop! Don't say anymore!" Xiao Li quickened his pace and began to keep a distance from Wang Yan. Ordinary people are still shy about talking about corpses and it is impossible for them to talk about some excessive content like the students of the Forensic Medicine School.

Xiao Li from the Virtual Future Park bent down and walked forward, and Wang Yan had to follow behind him.

The two walked in about ten meters, and Xiao Li in front suddenly stopped.

"What did you see?" Wang Yan took out his cell phone and shone it forward.

Xiao Li was stunned on the spot, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "There is no way out."

At this time, the two of them were hunched over, almost lying on the ground. The passage was so narrow that it was difficult for them to even turn around.

There was red "moss" all around, clothes were wet, and the air was filled with that strange fragrance.

"Then...we go back the same way?"

"Wait a moment." Xiao Li was indeed very brave. He raised his hand and pressed it on the bloody moss in front of him.

With five fingers exerting force, the palm slowly sank.

"There's nothing behind this." Xiao Li cursed inwardly, saying that it was insidious. They even set up such a test at the exit. "Luckily I tried it. If I had just retreated and left, I would have regretted it so much."

He was very proud and turned his head to tell Xiao Li the good news. His body was pressed against the wall. Xiao Li turned his neck with great effort: "The moss is used for camouflage and cover. The exit is just ahead. We will be able to..."

When he said this, Xiao Li's gaze swept behind him. He saw Xiao Li, and at the same time, he also saw a person crawling behind Xiao Li!

Silently, they crawled, their faces fell as they went, with all those things following behind!

"What are you looking at?" Wang Yan pointed his cell phone at Xiao Li's face. Before he could see clearly, when the light from the cell phone swept over, he saw a pale arm hanging down from the moss above his head.

The shaking arms fell right in front of Wang Yan's face. He looked up with a dull look, and arms were hanging down from above his head.

The narrow passage was covered with soft red moss, and under the moss were warm and welcoming "corpses" that had just been made last night.

…

At the edge of the middle area, Yang Chen, Li Xue, Lao Zhou and Duan Yue stood together. The four of them looked at the two editors two meters away from a distance.

“Three people are missing, why are you two fine?” Yang Chen’s voice was a little suppressed. He had seen through the tricks of the haunted house owner and knew the true identities of the two editors.

“What does their disappearance have to do with us?” Anan felt that Yang Chen was a little crazy: “When the lights went out and the footsteps sounded, I specifically reminded them not to run around, but they didn’t listen. Now that they are missing, you come and blame us?”

"Are you still quibbling?" He could vaguely hear the screams of Wang Yan and Xiao Li in the distance deep in the corridor. He also heard the words "I will never skip class again". Their voices were hoarse and heart-wrenching. There was no way they were pretending.

It was precisely because of Wang Yan’s screams that Yang Chen started to panic. He was not going to hide it any longer and decided to make everything clear.

"We are quibbling?" Huya frowned: "Did you misunderstand something?"

“Stop acting, I’ve seen through your tricks. You guys are really dedicated.” Yang Chen took a step forward and protected Li Xue, Lao Zhou and the others behind him: “You should be the actors in the haunted house, right? Boss Chen arranged this in advance, right?”

The corners of Huya and Anan’s mouth twitched, and in the end Anan couldn’t help it, and looked at Yang Chen and whispered: "Are you sick?"

“Are you furious? You didn’t expect it, it only took me nineteen minutes to find you.” Yang Chen stood with Lao Zhou and the others, his voice turned cold: “You three editors, as well as the chef and his brother who disappeared at the beginning are all actors in the haunted house. The five photos of the victims should be posted with the five of you! You are the ghosts who mixed into the group of tourists, you are the victims who have already died!”

The scene was very quiet. Not only Huya and Anan, but even Lao Zhou and Duan Yue gasped.

How should I respond to this? This is something I hadn't considered at all!

"Do you suspect that there are haunted house actors in the tourist group? Someone is playing us?" The two editors seemed to realize the problem. They had read a lot of horror, supernatural and suspense books, and their logical thinking ability was a little stronger than that of ordinary people. Because they had never encountered such a situation before, they had never thought about it in this regard. However, after being reminded by Yang Chen, the two of them instantly understood something.

"The ghost is among us!"

With cold sweat dripping down their cheeks, Anan and Huya stood together: "Listen to me, there really seems to be a ghost among us, but this 'ghost' is not the three of us, but someone else."

"Yes." Hu Ya thought for a moment: "The ghost should be that Bai Qiulin. I felt very strange when he came in. Why did this man always put his hands in his pockets and never take them out? At that time, I thought it was his personal habit. Now I think there is a big problem with this person! When the accident happened just now, Bai Qiulin was also missing, and the footsteps were very chaotic. It might be him who was causing trouble! Going further back, when the chef and his brother got into trouble, Bai Qiulin was standing at the door of the warehouse. He separated the inside and outside of the door, and at the critical moment he could buy time for the monster!"

"There's a big problem with this guy! He should be a ghost, and he must have companions!" An Nan's thinking is relatively clear. He thinks differently from Yang Chen. He doesn't look at every tourist with any emotional color, but just makes a simple and rational analysis.

"If Bai Qiulin is a ghost, his companions shouldn't act too familiar with him. Xiao Li's suspicion can be basically ruled out. Among the remaining people, except for those who have been 'killed', the rest are all here." Anan's eyes wandered between Lao Zhou and Yang Chen. Both of them were too deceptive, and it was difficult for him to guess for a while.

"What's the situation now?" Duan Yue grabbed Lao Zhou's hand and asked softly.

“I don’t know either. It seems that there are actors from the haunted house among their two groups.” Lao Zhou lowered his head and replied to Duan Yue. The two of them were very close to Yang Chen, and the sound of their conversation was heard by Yang Chen.

"Believe me, they two are the actors in the haunted house, and I have decisive evidence." Yang Chen quietly told Lao Zhou about the exemption agreement. The two were a little surprised after hearing it.

Anan and Huya originally thought that Yang Chen was not a big suspect, but when they saw Yang Chen's confident look and Lao Zhou's reaction after hearing what Yang Chen said, they became shaken again.

They couldn't hear what Yang Chen said, but they just felt something was wrong.

"There are ghosts in the team. It's too dangerous to stay with them. Let's go find Tail by ourselves." Huya walked in a certain direction: "When I just got to the fork in the road, I vaguely saw Tail walking this way."

The two editors left without stopping.

"They are guilty as thieves, and they know they can't continue their performance." Li Xue was also there to speak up for Yang Chen. No matter what happened, she absolutely trusted Yang Chen.

“It’s better to separate. Let’s take this opportunity to look for the photos to prevent them from doing anything desperate.” Yang Chen chose the opposite direction of the two editors and led Lao Zhou and Duan Yue into the depths of the passage.

…

Four screams were heard from somewhere in the scene. The first two were from Lao Zhou and Duan Yue, and were extremely miserable, as if they had encountered something horrible. The last two were from Yang Chen and Li Xue, and in addition to fear, there was also a hint of deep despair in their voices.

Four screams rang out almost at the same time. Huya and Anan were not too far away at the time, so they heard them clearly.

"All four people were killed?" An Nan was shocked. It seemed that his previous speculation was wrong.

According to his previous speculation, the remaining ghost should be between him and Hu Ya, but how is this possible?

"There are only two of us left now." Huya's smile was a bit forced. "There are only two left out of a team of twelve. It only took twenty minutes. The owner of this haunted house really understands people's hearts."

"Perhaps there have been no ghosts among us from the very beginning?" Anan shook his head. His mind was in a mess now. He felt like he was trapped in a maze. Not only his body but also his mind was trapped in it.

"Don't worry about them. Let's find Tail first. I remember she's in this direction." Huya and Anan walked carefully along the wall. When they reached the end of the road, they saw a closed iron door: "This door is not locked."

Probably because of his impatience, Anan shook it very hard: "It seems like someone deliberately stuck it with something."

"Could it be the tail that did it?"

"Very likely."

The iron gate was shaking, and the lights on the wall were flickering, and it seemed that the lights were about to go out again.

…

Tail hid in an unknown room at the end of the corridor. She held her cell phone and frantically dialed the number: "Why is no one answering? Answer it quickly!"

The iron door was shaken hard, causing the rust to fall off and making a loud noise.

Wei's heartbeat quickened, her baby face turned pale as paper, her fingers tightly grasped the phone, the blood vessels on her neck bulged, she was really scared to the extreme.

"Those things are coming! It must be them!"

The iron door shook even more violently. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. She curled up in the cabinet, her pupils constricted, staring at the gap in the cabinet door.

"What should I do? What should I do!"

"Bang!" The tables and chairs blocking the door were pushed over, and the iron door finally opened.

Her heart was beating in her throat and she almost couldn't breathe. She bit her lips, clenched her hands together, and stared at the door.

"Tail?"

A familiar voice came from the door, and Tail was stunned. Happiness came too suddenly, and she could hardly believe it was real.

The wall lights in the corridor were going out, and she could only see the outline of the person at the door. She was sure that it was Hu Ya.

With her hands on the cabinet door, tears streamed down her face. She was so excited. The feeling of flying from hell to heaven was indescribable.

But just as she was about to push open the cabinet door, the screen of her mobile phone lit up.

The call that had been unresolved finally got through, and the caller ID showed it was Huya.

"Isn't she right at the door?"

Tail Finger subconsciously answered the phone, and Tiger Fang's anxious voice was heard on the other end of the phone.

"Tail, we have left the haunted house. Stay where you are and don't move! The police will be in to look for you soon. There is something wrong with this haunted house! Remember to stay where you are and don't move! Don't move!"

"Leave? Police?" Tail was stunned when he heard the familiar voice on the phone and looked at the familiar human figure at the door.
