Chapter 220 The Haunted House at the Amusement Park [24]
Someone in the group asked other classmates if they wanted to go into the haunted house together, saying that it would be more daring to go in a group.
There are still many people of this age who like this kind of thing.
I've also heard that the haunted house in this amusement park is really well done, and the ghosts inside are especially scary.
Soon enough, some classmates responded in the group chat, saying they wanted to come over.
The teacher also sent a message in the group, but it was just to remind them to be careful.
Ah Chu and her friends stood outside the haunted house, waiting for the other classmates to arrive.
After about ten minutes, everyone arrived.
The haunted house has a limit on the number of people allowed in, and Ah Chu and his group were just enough to enter at once.
When the staff led them to the entrance, they also explained the rules.
"Our haunted house is similar to an escape room; if you successfully solve the puzzle, you can come out early."
"If the decryption fails, you'll have to walk to the exit on your own."
"Also, you must not have any physical contact with the ghosts inside!"
Have fun, everyone!
The entrance is narrow, allowing only two people to walk side by side.
Achu stood with Jiang Qi.
Before she even went inside, she unconsciously grabbed Jiang Qi's clothes.
Feeling the pulling sensation, Jiang Qi looked down and then at A Chu.
Her expression clearly showed a mixture of nervousness and fear, as well as excitement and anticipation.
"Are you scared, sister?" Jiang Qi asked her.
Achu glanced at him, leaned closer and whispered, "I'm a little scared."
Jiang Qi followed suit and leaned closer, whispering, "I will protect you."
Even if it were a real ghost, let alone a fake one, Jiang Qi could still protect A Chu.
Some students were excited and expectant, while others were afraid and nervous, but their steps did not falter.
Achu and Jiang Qi were in the middle of the line, and while they were talking, they had already gone inside.
There was nothing unusual at the entrance, except that the lighting was a little dim, and there was a sign that read: [Jushan Inn]
The LED light flashed a few times, and the light above the character "古" (ancient) in the name of Jushan Inn seemed to be the one.
As a result, [Jushan Inn] became [Shishan Inn].
"Holy crap! The Corpse Mountain Inn! This is a bit creepy!"
"It's got that horror movie vibe!"
"Ugh, my back is going numb!"
"I heard it's newly decorated, and there aren't any guides online yet. I'll make one when I get back!"
Passing through the sign for 'Corpse Mountain Inn', the light inside became even dimmer.
Everyone was on edge, on guard against the possibility of a 'ghost' suddenly appearing.
Achu moved closer to Jiang Qi, her arm already touching his.
Jiang Qi was completely oblivious to the terrifying atmosphere; his attention was almost entirely focused on A Chu.
He was just about to say something to comfort Achu when suddenly a ghost appeared.
Accompanied by terrifying sound effects, it startled everyone.
Screams erupted, and the once orderly line immediately descended into chaos.
Achu was so frightened that she cried out and immediately hid in Jiang Qi's arms.
Although Jiang Qi is thin, he has broad shoulders.
Caught off guard by the sudden embrace, he paused for a moment before hugging back at Ah Chu, then turned to look at the ghost that had appeared.
It's a fake ghost.
Jiang Qi gently patted A Chu's shoulder and said to her, "Sister, don't be afraid, this ghost is fake."
Achu clung to Jiang Qi, refusing to let go: "I know it's fake, but he's terrifying!"
Jiang Qi glanced at the fake ghost and thought it was alright; it wasn't as scary as the real ghost.
If Ah Chu knew that what she was holding was a terrifying real ghost, wouldn't she be even more frightened?
Jiang Qi suddenly felt a little afraid of letting A Chu know that he was dead and had become a ghost.
She'll definitely be scared and stay away from him!
Jiang Qi made up his mind not to let A Chu know.
One ghost after another appeared to scare people.
The haunted house had many branching paths, and in their panic, everyone scattered.
Although Achu didn't stay in Jiang Qi's arms the whole time, she still clung tightly to his arm.
So they didn't separate.
Jiang Qi is very satisfied with the current situation; no one is competing with him for his sister's affections anymore.
"Sister! Sister!"
A thin, pale-faced child ran over, carrying a doll, and looked up, calling out "Sister Achu."
Jiang Qi's face immediately darkened.
Ah Chu saw that the ghost was a child, so she wasn't as scared anymore.
"Hey little brother, is there anything I can help you with?"
The ghost child said, "Sister, can you help me find my mom? My mom is missing."
Upon hearing this, Achu immediately said to Jiang Qi beside her, "This must be an NPC. We can clear the game once we complete the task of finding his mother!"
Jiang Qidian nodded: "It should be."
But in fact, he knew that the child ghost in front of him was not an NPC.
This is a real ghost.
And it was a vengeful ghost.
A vengeful ghost hides in the haunted house, using its yin energy to corrupt the living.
He would choose a suitable person to mark, and then follow that person home.
Over time, people severely affected by yin energy will either die in an accident or fall into sadness and despair due to the influence of their emotions, eventually committing suicide.
A newly deceased soul is a delicious tonic for a vengeful ghost.
However, Jiang Qi doesn't eat this.
He ate ghosts that were neither good people when alive nor good ghosts when dead.
For example, this one in front of us.
Based on Jiang Qi's experience, this child ghost has already consumed no fewer than ten new souls.
He remained calm and collected, concealing his ghostly aura, just to see what the ghosts in the haunted house were like.
Now that I've seen it, I can confirm it's an edible ghost.
Jiang Qi then stopped hiding his ghostly aura.
Ah Chu was human and had no idea about this.
But the child ghost immediately noticed.
He stared at Jiang Qi in shock, his eyes wide.
Oh no! We've encountered a more powerful ghost than him!
The little ghost immediately abandoned its target and ran away in a flash.
Then Jiang Qi reached out and grabbed the invisible child ghost in his hand, squeezing it into a ball.
Ah Chu only needed to blink for a moment before the child ghost disappeared.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Where's the child? How did he disappear so suddenly?"
Jiang Qi held the child ghost's hand behind his back and answered calmly, "They must have gone through a secret door. Aren't those NPCs just there to scare people by suddenly appearing and disappearing?"
Achu nodded in agreement.
"You're right! That must be it!"
"Should we still help him find his mother?"
Jiang Qi: "Let's go ahead and take a look first."
The two walked forward and soon encountered new NPCs, which gave them new quests.
So, Ah Chu put the child ghost out of his mind.
Jiang Qi quickly deciphered the mystery and led A Chu out of the haunted house.
The other students also came out one after another.
Some of them successfully deciphered the code, while others simply walked to the exit on their own.
"Oh my god! That scared me to death!"
"This haunted house is so realistic!"
"We went into a room and as soon as we entered, we saw someone hanging from the ceiling. It almost sent me flying!"
"I ran into the landlady of the Corpse Mountain Inn, and she asked me to clean the guest rooms. I was terrified!"
"I have to say, it's actually pretty exciting!"
Everyone is still talking about their experiences in the haunted house.
Their attention was only diverted when they reached the next attraction.
Today's trip to the amusement park was very enjoyable.
