After reading "Little Rainbow's Diary", Yin Zhu pulled Mu Yunsheng away from the lounge.
"Um...aren't you touched?"
Mu Yunsheng was initially deeply shocked when he reached the last page, but seeing Yin Zhu close the diary expressionlessly and put it back in its place, his feelings subsided somewhat.
"Well, the atmosphere effects were indeed quite well done." Yin Zhu calmly commented on the scene just now. "As the diary progresses, more and more handprints appear around it, and with the crawling handprints, the sense of oppression is very strong. When the last page is turned, it suddenly disappears, giving visitors a feeling of loss."
In the end, Yin Zhu even nodded in affirmation of the haunted house's special effects.
"You mean the story in that diary is all fake?" Mu Yunsheng was a little surprised, after all, in her mind, the story was highly authentic.
"It's hard to say, but I take back my initial assessment of the haunted house. Although the opening dialogue was rather perfunctory, the players' sense of immersion within the map was still quite strong." Yin Zhu was determined to play the role of the "haunted house designer" he had previously boasted about, making Mu Yunsheng, who was unaware of the truth, believe him even more.
"Oh, I see." Mu Yunsheng nodded thoughtfully.
Yin Zhu tilted her head slightly to look at Mu Yunsheng's profile, and sighed inwardly: So easy to fool. I like this kind of person. They believe whatever I say. Unlike Wei Chuxing, who is so shrewd.
The thought of Wei Chuxing made Yin Zhu's face darken; she wondered where that guy had gone.
No matter where he is, he is definitely watching him.
The enemy is in the shadows while you are in the light; this feeling is terrible, like you can't control the situation.
"Let's look for that couple first. If they're okay, there are still more people around. Then let's find a way out of this area." Yin Zhu glanced at her watch. The hiding hadn't lasted long, and the diary entry wasn't long either. There were probably still about ten minutes left.
As for what dangers might occur if the time limit was exceeded, Yin Zhu didn't know and didn't really want to know.
7. The haunted house is divided into 4 areas. Do not stay in any area for more than 30 minutes consecutively.
Time is fixed, and no matter how you interpret it, you can't increase the time. The only interpretation that can increase it is "discontinuous stay, so going to other areas and returning is an interruption, and you can continue to stay."
So all Yin Zhu needs to do right now is find the door to the next area.
"We won't run into that clown again, will we?"
Mu Yunsheng was still a little scared when she recalled what had just happened, and she was worried about whether Wei Chuxing had escaped danger: "Do you think Brother Chuxing is alright?"
Yin Zhu didn't want to mention Wei Chuxing at all, but instead touched every part of the corridor wall: "I remember the rules said there was a secret door, but I didn't see it. That shouldn't be the case. Maybe there's just no special problem in the corridor..."
Seeing that Yin Zhu seemed not to have heard her, Mu Yunsheng pouted in annoyance but didn't say anything more.
After all, she could tell that Yin Zhu was much better at reasoning than herself and was a very useful tool for exploration. Moreover, Yin Zhu was willing to act as bait for her sake. Even if Yin Zhu occasionally neglected her in order to find clues, Mu Yunsheng would forgive her generously.
Remembering the place where the couple had come out at the beginning, Yin Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go and take a look at the confessional room too."
"There! Isn't that where the clown appeared before?" Mu Yunsheng didn't dare to speak too loudly, and even his shocked voice became much softer as he tried to dissuade Yin Zhu.
"Yeah, since there's a clown there, there should be other clues too. Otherwise, why would a haunted house just leave a clown there for nothing?" Yin Zhu was just using a game exploration mode to judge the situation. But what if they find the confessional room is empty...?
Yin Zhu couldn't say whether she would become angry and want to break the rules and damage the environment.
"Then I won't go, okay?" Mu Yunsheng was a little scared. "I'll just hide in the lounge and wait for you to come back from exploring."
Yin Zhu held up her phone and shook it: "There are still nine minutes left. If I find a place to leave, I may not have time to come back and call you. If I break the rules, I can't say what will happen."
This reason was enough to convince Mu Yunsheng to follow her.
Sure enough, Mu Yunsheng reluctantly agreed: "Okay, then let's keep a low profile and try not to be discovered by the clown. We really don't have time to escape again."
After confirming that the church door was also painted on, the two returned to the chapel.
Upon entering the chapel, a strong and fresh smell of blood hit him, causing Mu Yunsheng's legs to buckle and he almost fell to the ground.
On the large altar, three heads were openly displayed. They were the heads of the three tourists who had come in together earlier, as well as the couple. All of them had their eyes wide open in terror, their deaths tragic.
Yin Zhu mustered her courage and approached, confirming that there seemed to be no traps nearby, before turning her gaze back to the confessional.
"Are we really going in?"
"Let's go, let me see what the supervisor wants to confess." Combining the previous diary entries, Yin Zhu completely understood.
There are no clowns in the confessional.
It was a very narrow little room, so narrow that it could only accommodate two people. There was a small window in front of it, and normally, the priest would listen to people's confessions of sins and then give some answers.
If the four of them had been acting together before meeting Yin Zhu, it's impossible that two of them would suddenly enter the confessional.
And three people ran out of it.
From the very beginning of their hiding, Yin Zhu found it absurd—such a small room, there had been no sound at all, and suddenly three people ran out; there was absolutely no way there wasn't a hidden passage.
I just don't know how they found it.
Yin Zhu looked around the overly clean confessional room but couldn't find the hidden door.
"What should we do? Is there no way out? We only have five minutes left..." Mu Yunsheng paced anxiously, but in this prayer room that could be seen at a glance, there was clearly no mechanism or similar device.
Yin Zhu thought hard for a while, then looked up and tapped the ceiling, then looked down and tapped the floor, saying to Mu Yunsheng, "Downstairs."
“But this ground…” Mu Yunsheng couldn’t see the problem at all.
Yin Zhu left the prayer room, squatted down at the door, and felt along the edge to find a groove that seemed big enough to insert a finger. She then lifted the floorboards up. There was nothing to lock the floorboards, and sure enough, a dark hole was revealed underneath, through which a ladder could be climbed.
"I'm afraid the ground floor still belongs to the church." Yin Zhu calculated the distance and told Mu Yunsheng some bad news.
"Then all our searching was for nothing?" As time dwindled, Mu Yunsheng grew increasingly anxious, hiding on the ground and sobbing softly, "I shouldn't have come to Sin City. If I hadn't come to Sin City, this wouldn't have happened..."
Without hesitation, Yin Zhu climbed down the ladder: "How will we know where the way out is if we don't try?"
