Upon closer inspection, the woman's features, including her hair and face, were unmistakably those of Mu Yunsheng.
She seemed to be in worse shape than before, as if she had suffered a severe shock. The tears on her face didn't smudge her makeup—after all, in Sin City, not many people had the energy to put on makeup anymore.
Mu Yunsheng was suddenly pushed away by Yin Zhu, and was somewhat at a loss. He looked at Wei Chuxing with a wronged expression, trying to seek help.
Wei Chuxing sighed: "Hao Xun, this is Mu Yunsheng. Yunsheng, calm down, everything's alright now. What happened to you just now? How did you get into this state?"
Now that she had a way out, Mu Yunsheng tearfully recounted her experience: "I waited for you but you didn't come. I heard the clown's voice, so I ran into the secret passage and went to the next area. But those mannequins outside were too scary, plus there was the clown, so I hid inside..."
"Well, and then?"
Yin Zhu walked to the sofa in the office and leaned back casually.
As she sat down, Yin Zhu didn't feel anything that should have felt like a sofa; instead, she fell straight backward.
No! The sofa is just an illusion!
Yin Zhu's pupils contracted as she saw Wei Chuxing and "Mu Yunsheng" staring at her in shock.
...It turns out no one expected this.
Because it happened so suddenly, Yin Zhu lost her balance and "sinked" into the sofa, falling into the hole that should have been there.
The descent was faster than the initial fall from the glass bridge, and even with the cushioning underneath, it still hurt more.
Headache, arm pain, back pain, buttock pain, leg pain...
Yin Zhu suspected she had injured herself in some places, otherwise she wouldn't be in so much pain. Fortunately, the arm that the clown had stabbed her in was already healed, otherwise the pain would be doubled now.
I have to thank Wei Chuxing for his miraculous bandages.
Although she didn't know where she was, Yin Zhu had a feeling that she was probably in a location close to the villa area.
First, after falling off the glass bridge, the group landed in the church area. Then, they entered the villa area through the church's basement. After going up to the second floor, they went through a secret passage in the study to reach the parallel office area, and then fell down through a trap in the boss's office.
Although Yin Zhu's sense of direction isn't particularly good, she can still sense whether she's going up or down.
Using her phone to illuminate the space around her, Yin Zhu felt a slight sweat seeping from her palms.
This is a morgue, and the place where Yin Zhu fell was an empty hospital bed. Around Yin Zhu were many corpses covered with white sheets, and some even seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Ouch, that really hurts, you wretched Mr. Horror."
Taking a deep breath, Yin Zhu rubbed her aching body while trying to distract herself from thinking about scary things.
For example, a corpse in a hospital bed suddenly sits up in shock from a dream of dying.
"Bang."
Suddenly, Yin Zhu saw a trembling "corpse" sit up.
It wasn't over yet. One by one, two or three more "corpses" sat up beside them. The leader of the "corpses" ripped off the white cloth covering his head, revealing a familiar face: "Is that you? Um... you fell down too?"
It's Mu Yunsheng.
Other "corpses" were also uncovered one after another, and they were basically tourists who had ridden the roller coaster together before.
Aside from Mu Yunsheng, there was only one other person who came in with Yin Zhu; the rest were from the second group as agreed. It was unexpected that everyone would meet here.
Yin Zhu nodded, then glanced at her phone again: "How long have you been here?"
The two people in the first group were fine, but the expressions of the remaining people in the second group immediately turned ugly: "It's been... almost half an hour. We haven't found the way, and everyone else was killed by a clown who suddenly appeared."
It turns out they'd exceeded their time limit and had been there for almost an hour...
No wonder Wei Chuxing said before that the clown was going to the fourth area.
Besides his own performance work at the amusement park, the clown also needs to work part-time as a punisher in the haunted house from time to time... or perhaps it's the other way around, with the clown working in the haunted house during the day and performing outside as a side job.
The fact that the supernatural can be used so inhumanly is blatant exploitation of humans!
Yin Zhu suddenly felt that something was wrong: What was the sixth rule of the amusement park?
6. Staff will appear at the amusement park at designated times to perform and interact with visitors afterwards. However, you will not encounter clowns or mascots following you; if you are unlucky enough to do so, they are likely just passing by. If it continues to follow a visitor, you can ask the staff wearing red for help; they will resolve the issue for you.
Based on what he now knew, Yin Zhu mentally rearranged the content of the sixth rule—
6. The clown is also a staff member and will come out of the haunted house to perform at designated times. After the performance, he needs to return to the haunted house to continue catching people. If the clown follows tourists and doesn't return to the haunted house to work, you can notify the staff member in red to arrest him directly.
...I don't know why, but the truth doesn't seem scary anymore; in fact, it seems a bit less sophisticated.
But you can't think of it that way. Considering that whether a clown is performing or following tourists, he might be trying to kill you, it would actually be a bit scary to encounter one yourself.
In Yin Zhu's mind, the image of the clown changed from a serial killer to an amusement park worker, then to a worker exploited by his supervisor, and finally back to a serial killer.
After many twists and turns, I returned to my true self.
