I ran to the third underground floor alone and stood in a secret room that looked like a murder scene, with a strange woman covered in blood in front of me. Anyone would be scared by such a scene.
Wei Jinyuan scratched his neck. His back was already wet, his Adam's apple rolled, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
He had been looking for the actors in the haunted house, trying to figure out why it became so popular. But when he actually saw the actors in the haunted house, he felt guilty for no reason.
He couldn't explain the reason. The other party was clearly standing a few meters away from him, but he felt very nervous.
"Is it because of the environment or the makeup?" Wei Jinyuan's heart was pounding, and it took more than a minute for him to calm down. During this whole process, the woman in red just stood by the wall and showed no intention of coming over.
"Just like the shadow I met in the corridor, they don't seem to scare people actively, nor do they know how to hide. Are the actors in this haunted house too confident, or are they worried about other things? Are they afraid that they will be too scary and cause problems for the tourists, so they use this method to 'intimidate' the tourists?" Wei Jinyuan's mind was a little confused, and he moved slowly.
My hair stood on end and my body instinctively wanted to escape. Every step I took required a lot of courage.
"Hey, are you an actress in this haunted house?" His voice was shaking unconsciously. Wei Jinyuan kept reminding himself in his heart that there was no need to be afraid. The other party was just an actress. Maybe she would look very cute without makeup.
The woman in red did not answer. She put her hands on her chest, turned her back to Wei Jinyuan, and leaned her head against the wall, maintaining a very strange posture.
"No reply? Fine, I'd like to see what you're up to?" Walking in the blood-stained room, his feet made a rustling sound. It took Wei Jinyuan more than ten seconds to walk just a few meters.
He stopped beside the woman in red and leaned his head to look at her.
A female ghost covered in bloodshot clothes and filled with resentment, who can make people tremble at the mere sight of her. She has her hands on her chest, as if she is holding something?
"Could the clue be in the ghost girl's arms?" Wei Jinyuan opened his eyes wide: "The owner of this haunted house is really a piece of shit, hiding the clue in a place like this."
If the clue is in the hands of the woman in red, tourists must get close to the female ghost if they want to get the clue. If the tourists are afraid and dare not approach, they can only be trapped in the scene or look for new clues.
"Fortunately, I'm quite brave. You can't scare me." Wei Jinyuan mustered up his courage, reached out and grabbed the few pages of paper held between the hands of the woman in red. When he was about to pull them back, the woman in red's head, which was leaning against the wall, slowly turned.
Her body remained in the same position, even her neck did not move, only her head was tilted to one side.
His face was pale, without a trace of blood, but his facial features were quite delicate, except for those two dark eyes that were a little scary.
The woman in red didn't seem to understand what Wei Jinyuan was doing. There was resentment in her eyes, but after seeing the black hair on her wrist, she calmed down.
"And you're wearing pure black contact lenses? If I didn't work in a haunted house and knew these makeup techniques, I might have been scared by you." Wei Jinyuan snatched the pages of paper from the woman in red. He used the light from his phone to look at the papers: "Basic rules for haunted house employees? You can't have physical contact with tourists? You can't actively hurt tourists? If you show symptoms of coma, you should be sent to the underground morgue in time?"
Wei Jinyuan flipped through the pages, his head full of questions: "What the hell is this? Where are the clues?"
He looked up at the woman in red. The woman still maintained that strange posture, her body half a foot away from the wall, her head leaning against the wall, her eyes staring at the paper in his hand, as if waiting for Wei Jinyuan to return the paper to her.
"That's all?" Wei Jinyuan held the papers in his hands. "You're a haunted house actor, right? Is there something hidden between the lines?"
The woman in red didn't know what Wei Jinyuan was talking about. Her patience was being worn away by Wei Jinyuan bit by bit. Blood was flowing on her red dress and a faint smell of blood was floating in the air.
"Oh, there is a second change?" Wei Jinyuan looked at the blood dripping from the woman's red dress and forced himself to remain calm: "There is a blood bag hidden in the dress? But you are too unprofessional. The actors in the haunted house scare people fast, fierce and accurate. You are slow, and the tourists have already prepared for it."
Wei Jinyuan actually didn't know how the other party did it. He kept talking just to hide his uneasy heart.
"It seems that just finding clues is not enough. We must crack the secret." Wei Jinyuan felt his neck becoming more and more itchy, as if something was sitting on his shoulder and trembling constantly. He even felt a backward pull, as if something was reminding him to leave quickly and not stay here any longer.
"Is it a psychological suggestion? What is suggesting this to me? When I came here, I saw many people online saying that the owner of this haunted house is proficient in psychology. It seems that I have been fooled by him without knowing it." Wei Jinyuan held his mobile phone in one hand, and the light on the mobile phone illuminated him and the woman in red next to him. With the other hand, he grabbed the pages of paper: "What's the problem? It's obviously not that scary, why is my heart beating so fast?"
Illuminated by the light and having her employee code of conduct taken away, bloodshot slowly appeared on the face of the woman in red. She felt as if the other party was intentionally humiliating her.
The smell of blood in the air became stronger, and sticky blood slid down the red clothes, making a dripping sound.
Wei Jinyuan was still thinking. He felt that he had walked into a strange circle. "From the moment I entered the haunted house, there were several empty rooms in a row. There was nothing decorated. Not to mention the scares, there was not even symbolic blood. Why did such a haunted house make me feel so uneasy? What was the way this indescribable feeling of oppression was expressed? I seemed to smell the smell of blood. Was this an illusion, or was it a psychological suggestion he was giving me invisibly?"
There are no answers to all the questions. Everything is a mystery. Wei Jinyuan scratched his neck and frowned: "The environment is complicated, which brings unspeakable fear to people. The clues are also inexplicable and make people confused."
While he was still thinking, the paper in his hand was grabbed by another pale hand.
"What do you want to do?"
Wei Jinyuan looked up, his mouth half open, his expression frozen in an instant.
The woman in red who was originally standing next to the wall, her body was still standing in the distance, but her head was gone!
The jagged cross-section and the constantly flowing blood, this scene was like a heavy hammer hitting Wei Jinyuan's brain. He was like being struck by lightning, with several electric currents running wildly in his blood vessels!
"Where's the head?"
He was sure that the actor standing in front of him was a living person. His delicate facial features, rich expressions, and even the look of disdain as if he had seen garbage were definitely not something that could be created with props.
But even such a living person, in the blink of an eye, his head disappeared!
"Give me back my things."
A woman's voice came from the side of his shoulder. Wei Jinyuan turned his head mechanically, and soon he saw an even more shocking scene. The woman's head was pierced with blood and was now resting on his shoulder.
When their eyes met, Wei Jinyuan felt that his heart had stopped beating, and all the blood in his body rushed to his brain almost at the same time.
"Help!"
He shouted loudly, holding his cell phone in one hand and the pages of employee rules in the other, and rushed out of the bedroom at the fastest speed in his life!
"Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
Filled with resentment, a bloody wind blew, and sticky blood dripped onto the ground. The woman in red followed Wei Jinyuan out.
Blood and black hair were tangled together, and the woman followed behind holding her head.
Running wildly in the dark corridor, Wei Jinyuan no longer had time to analyze. His mind was now filled with only one simple thought: run!
He even forgot to look at the road and rushed into the corridor!
He gasped for breath, not even knowing how far he had run. The vibrating cell phone in his hand made him sober up a little.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest. Wei Jinyuan looked at the screen of his mobile phone. The caller ID showed the name Li Xu.
He frantically clicked the answer button like a drowning man grabbing the last straw to save his life!
"Jin Yuan, let's talk about the same thing again. We found another piece of map fragment. After piecing it together, we discovered that there is an extremely dangerous area in the direction you and Leng Nan were heading..."
Before Li Xu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wei Jinyuan: "Xu! Come and save me! Save me!"
"Speak slowly, what's going on?"
Wei Jinyuan also wanted to slow down, but when he turned his head, he saw the woman in red with her body and head separated. She was waving her hands and running towards him wildly under the guidance of his head!
"Come here quickly! There is a woman here! She has no head! No head!" Wei Jinyuan shouted at the top of his lungs, his face distorted with fear.
"No beginning? Special effects actor? Explain clearly, don't be so vague and make people confused."
"It's not just confusing! It's really confusing!"
Wei Jinyuan's voice echoed far away in the gloomy underground corridor, and then the phone was hung up.
…
"It's incomprehensible." On the other end of the phone, Li Xu stood there holding the phone.
Li Xu and the people around him all heard Wei Jinyuan's screaming at the top of his lungs.
"What's wrong with Xiao Jin?" The male anchor seemed to be familiar with the employees of Nightmare Academy, but there was no concern in his tone, only curiosity: "Xiao Jin is very brave. Being able to scare him to the point of changing his voice means that this haunted house is still something."
"Everyone, be careful. I didn't hear what Jin Yuan said just now, but I knew there was a headless female ghost." Li Xu felt a little embarrassed when his companion was scared like that. "Don't worry about him. Wei Jinyuan is a designer in our place. He doesn't often go into haunted houses. He is the least courageous among us."
"He's still stubborn." Wang Yan had just heard Wei Jinyuan's cry for help. He was a soft-hearted person. "I advise you to listen to me and stop using your phones. Then we'll go back the way we came. It's impossible to pass the level with a bunch of unruly newcomers like you."
"If you are really capable, just go by yourself and don't follow us." The male anchor didn't listen to Wang Yan at all. After Wei Jinyuan's accident, he felt inexplicably irritated.
Wang Yan stopped arguing. He muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Who will collect your bodies after I leave?"
"Stop arguing. This haunted house is really unique in that it can scare Jin Yuan. We have found two pieces of map fragments now, and we will probably be able to escape soon." Li Xu is responsible for the design of mechanisms and props in the Nightmare Academy. He has been in this business for five years and is very experienced. He can tell at a glance where the mechanisms are arranged in the haunted house. It is also because of this that he can find some clues that Chen Ge has hidden in Liwan Town.
The haunted house scene can be difficult, but there must be a possibility of passing it so that tourists can have fun. Those prompt messages are the opportunities that Chen Ge gives to tourists.
As long as you have a map in hand, you can avoid some extremely dangerous areas, such as the woman in red on the third underground floor.
Such an arrogant person was frightened and screaming after just a few minutes, which caused certain psychological pressure on other tourists.
"Let's go and move forward to see if there is anything else we can gain." Li Xu put away his phone and held the two pieces of map fragments.
"It feels like this haunted house is just wearing out our patience. When we let our guard down and start to get annoyed, the haunted house actors will suddenly appear to scare us. That's probably how Xiao Jin got scared." The male anchor looked at his watch and then exchanged glances with Li Xu.
Li Xu immediately understood, nodded, and said, "After entering the next building, let's separate temporarily. This is too inefficient. After searching the entire building, we will meet at the door."
Without waiting for others' consent, Li Xu and the male anchor went straight into the building in front of them.
"Let's go together." The special recruit Zhang Huang said, but Li Xu and the male anchor seemed not to hear it and quickly disappeared into the building.
"Let's go in too." Wang Yan said lightly. He always felt that Li Xu and the male anchor had ulterior motives for entering the haunted house.
"Are you sure?" Zhang Huang was not that scared at first, but after hearing Wei Jinyuan's voice on the phone, he panicked: "The building in front looks like a small hospital. Hospitals in haunted houses should be key projects."
"Are you scared?" Wang Yan didn't even look at Zhang Huang and walked straight inside.
"Scared? Who are you looking down on? I really don't believe that playing in a haunted house can be more exciting than bungee jumping."
Zhang Huang looked at the wooden sign next to her that read Liwan Private Hospital, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and followed Wang Yan and Wang Yan's girlfriend in.
