There is a dark and narrow passage outside the elevator, about four meters deep, and it branches off to the left and right. Jing Ling estimated that after such a delay, the other teams should also set off. There were two choices in total, and the probability of one in two was very high that they would meet here, so they had to leave the entrance, find a new place, and sit down to carefully plan what to do next.
All the equipment was packed in a backpack, which Jing Ling carried. He pulled out a sketchbook from his bag and picked up a ballpoint pen, and wrote something in the notebook as he walked. Brother Yang carried the camera and moved the lens closer to take a close-up.
Wow, he's actually drawing a map! This is going against the will of heaven!
At this fork in the road, they still chose to go right. Perhaps because the excitement brought by the door-opening kill has not yet subsided, the authorities are kind enough to give tourists some time to relax. Therefore, when walking to the next fork in the road, there are no emergencies. The atmosphere is completely created by the dim environment and the vague horror BGM. After turning right twice, Jing Ling had borrowed several props, including a hollow head.
In order to avoid accidentally running into other teams, they did not stop on the road, but turned into an inconspicuous house in the corner. The ghost maze has a construction area of more than 3,000 square meters. It is impossible to make every corner unique. For example, the room they entered had lights on, but it was the same as the outside, flashing constantly disguised as unstable voltage. There was an old wooden desk against the wall, a stool with a missing leg in front of it, and several pieces of furniture lying in a mess on the ground. In the corner, there was a small group of people with short hair, dark skin, and big black eyes with no whites at all. They were squatting there, looking over here with their heads slightly raised, which was creepy.
As expected, Brother Yang, who had an average courage, was frightened again and hid behind Jing Ling and Yun Shu in two steps. Jing Ling glanced at the corner and continued to explain, "It's just a doll made of silicone, with a layer of special dye on the outside." He paused after he finished speaking, and continued, "I'll borrow this prop later. If you carry it on your back, the effect should be good."
Brother Yang: “…”
Jing Ling put his backpack on the desk, unzipped it, took out the things inside one by one and laid them out on the table. He pieced together various props and finally put them on Yunshu. The image of a female ghost wearing a tattered and bloodstained cloak with messy long hair falling out of the hood was completed. After that, he put the homemade mask on her and she no longer looked like a guest at all. As for his own disguise, it was much simpler: a clown mask, gloves on his hands, a cloth bag sewn on his shoulders, and a wig fixed on top. His long hair hung down to his waist, and he looked like a human head lying there.
Brother Yang watched all this happen in a very short period of time and felt that his worldview was challenged like never before. What was even more terrifying was that the two disguised people suddenly turned around and looked at him at the same time in tacit understanding.
"What do you want to do?!" His teeth were chattering as he spoke.
"It's your turn~" Jing Ling said grimly.
"Ah——" Brother Yang screamed.
After a while, the door of the room opened from the inside and three people, or rather three ghosts, walked out. A female ghost wearing a cloak, a male ghost dressed as a clown with a head on his shoulder, and a weird ghost with long hair, rags hanging on his body and a human head on his shoulder.
Because the camera is quite conspicuous, Jing Ling dressed it in clothes and put a wig on it. After this disguise, it looks like a head from a distance.
At this point the preliminary preparations have been successfully completed, and now it’s time to get down to business. The first thing to do is to find the music box on the third floor, because the rules of the game stipulate that when a team gets the music box and successfully brings it to the emergency exit or outside the haunted house, the game is over. If Jing Ling and the others want to have a good haunted house play with others, they have to have the key props in their hands.
On the other side, Yu Leyang's group was drawn to be the second group and started five minutes after the first group. When he came to a fork in the road, he chose to go right without asking his teammates' opinions. I walked all the way to the elevator, and while I was waiting, the hand reached out from the darkness again, still from the woman's side. The girl on the same team felt something touching her foot. She subconsciously looked down and saw a blue-gray hand grabbing her instep. She screamed.
"ah--"
People scare people to death. Yu Leyang and the photographer who were traveling with him were both shocked.
Then there was a big face behind the door, a terrifying laugh, and two more screams.
In fact, Yu Leyang himself was a little scared. After being influenced by the girl, the effect of one plus one was greater than two. The fear in his heart was magnified, and he barely managed to hold back from screaming out these few times. When the elevator reached the basement floor, he said to the girl, "I'll go ahead, you follow me! Don't be so startled. I could have been scared to death by you!"
His tone was a little bad. The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know, sorry." After she said that, she directly reached out to cover her mouth, probably preparing to use this method to control herself and try not to make any sound.
Yu Leyang nodded with satisfaction and stepped out of the elevator. The area under her feet felt weight, and the female ghost above suddenly fell down. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the door. He almost jumped back a few steps. After a few seconds, he realized that the monster that opened the door to kill seemed to have some troops. It had a slim figure and a tight blood-stained nurse uniform. There was nothing wrong with it, but what did that bald head mean? ? ?
After staring at the hanged man for a few seconds, Yu Leyang suddenly cursed, "Fuck!" It was so embarrassing that he was scared by such a thing.
He didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment, and the photographer who was with him didn't remind him because they had a casual relationship, so he just carried the camera and recorded everything.
The ghost maze covers a large area and has complex terrain. Without a map, you can only walk by feeling. Yu Leyang led the team around the underground floor for several circles before finding the entrance to the second floor. The long passage extended upward at an angle, and there was a dark hole at the end. He encountered all kinds of door-opening kills, road-blocking kills, and ghost-shadow kills along the way, and he was almost suffering from psychological trauma. When seeing a road like this, the first reaction is that there is an ambush ahead. But there is no choice but to move forward.
He walked carefully all the way and finally successfully landed on the second floor. Nothing unexpected happened during the process, so he gradually relaxed his guard. At this moment, his flashlight swept across the corner and saw a small black shadow with blue skin and big dark eyes looking at him.
"Uncle...Uncle...I'm cold..." A faint voice came from the other side.
Yu Leyang froze in place for a moment, then ran away. As a result, I had only run two steps when I felt something hit my head. He subconsciously looked up and saw a two-headed man hanging from the top, one head had a pair of dark green eyes, and the other head had long hair hanging down. It was exactly what he had encountered.
For a moment, he felt his legs go weak.
This time, he couldn't hold it in any longer and screamed out. He rushed into the alley next to him without caring about anything and successfully separated from his teammates.
A familiar tune came from afar, and a man in a bloodstained cloak slowly walked towards them. The girl left behind by Yu Leyang was stiff all over and couldn't stop shaking. The photographer was also frightened at first, but he has recovered now, especially after hearing the music, his mouth twitched. It would be funny if you couldn't even recognize your own opening song after recording so many shows. He comforted the girl, "Don't be afraid, this is another guest team. They got the music box and the game will be over soon. Let's go find Yu Leyang first."
Just as the photographer said, the female ghost in the cloak greeted her, "Hello." The male ghost hanging upside down also jumped down and waved, "Hi~" In the corner, the ghost carrying the human head bent down to pick up the little ghost on the ground, raised it and greeted her, "Hello!"
Girl: “…”
The photographer recognized his colleague, or rather, recognized the disguised machine, and was speechless for a moment. After freeing one hand to greet the other party, he took the girl to chase the idol who led the team.
Theoretically, once a team finds the music box, the game is almost over. But the photographer took the girl and walked a long way away, and didn't hear any words from the program crew, so he felt something was wrong and asked what was going on.
"In fact, about ten minutes ago, a team got the music box, but when they passed the emergency exit, they didn't even look at it and just walked away. After that, they didn't go to the exit and just wandered around in the maze. You are the second team they blocked..."
"……What's the meaning?"
"It's obvious that the team that got the music box turned the adventurous game of finding the object into a one-sided game of hide-and-seek."
“…”
The photographer felt terrible.
Jing Ling brought Yun Shu and the team photographer with them. They played hide-and-seek with people from other teams while recording the topography of the maze. They quickly sketched out a rough outline in a notebook. Then his team became even more powerful, and they could basically find the right person.
After being scared several times in a row, everyone figured out something was wrong and became instantly alert when they heard the sound of the music box.
Jing Ling changed his tactics accordingly. Hide the music box, then sneak up on the other team members and greet them from all directions except the front.
Once, twice, three times...
People from other teams felt that this was not a solution and they must find a way to deal with them! The final result of the discussion was that everyone gathered together. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. With so many pairs of eyes, no matter what kind of monsters you are, no one can escape!
Facts have proved that they made the right move. Jing Ling really couldn't get close to them. So he took the team to play with the maze staff.
The staff who were originally in the monitoring room watching the show make fun of the show suddenly became playful when they saw this, and prepared to counterattack Jing Ling and the others. After all, with the biggest plug-in, monitoring, they could communicate with the staff below in a timely manner. But the facts soon slapped them in the face, because the surveillance had blind spots, and Jing Ling relied on these blind spots to lead the team in a mysterious way, scaring the employees below.
These professional actors who usually scare tourists into tears finally got to experience the feeling of being scared.
There was chaos and turmoil down there, and the people in the maze finally couldn't laugh anymore, so they quickly contacted the crew to end the game.
Jing Ling and the others were having a great time. Not only him and Yun Shu, but also the photographer Brother Yang, who was originally a little timid, was having fun, running around happily holding the plastic child. Unfortunately, the production team stopped the game, so they had no choice but to obey and walk out of the haunted house with the music box.
Although their team did not follow the usual path, with the music box in hand, they were naturally the winners. The program team exchanged them for a candlelight dinner.
The recording of this episode ended with two sets of clearly contrasting shots: a romantic candlelight dinner in a top restaurant on one side and home-cooked meals in a small street restaurant on the other. Just wait for the post-production to be completed and some details to be recorded before it can be broadcast.
