An NPC wearing white clothes, holding a dark gray belt in his hand, was hanging in the air, swinging back and forth, with long black hair sliding from the back of his head to his shoulders, covering most of his cheeks.
The only visible part of the nose was oozing red blood.
"I'm sorry, brother, this clothes is mine." The NPC pulled his hair aside to reveal his eyes.
"It was not even time to go to work just now. I climbed up the hanging frame with my coat on, intending to take it off after it was hung up. But as soon as I untied my belt, my coat was pulled away."
Lin Fengyi returned the clothes in his arms to the NPC and breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a staff member pretending to be a ghost.
The tense expression on Lin Haoyu's face also relaxed, it was just a false alarm.
Lin Qianqian walked up to the two brothers and said, "There are many people pretending to be ghosts in the haunted house. They are the staff here. Their job is to scare the tourists who come to play."
Only then did Lin Fengyi and Lin Haoyu realize that Lin Qianqian was not nervous at all.
"Qianqian, did you come here often to play?"
Lin Qianqian tilted her head and thought about it. She came here often, but not to play.
She is here to work part-time as an NPC.
Before she returned to the Lin family, she could only try her best to work and earn money, and the haunted house NPC job was the highest-paying part-time job she could find.
"I used to play that role often." Lin Qianqian said, pointing at the ghost hanging in the air.
Only then did Lin Haoyu and Lin Fengyi understand why Lin Qianqian was not afraid at all.
Lin Qianqian continued, "Sometimes NPCs get scared by tourists, for example..."
Lin Qianqian ran to a "female ghost" wearing a red wedding dress and pulled off her wig.
The "female ghost" began to sob.
Lin Fengyi and Lin Haoyu nodded in sudden realization. It turned out that there was such a way to play.
This can be considered as interacting with NPCs.
Lin Haoyu learned and performed on the spot.
He jumped to a "ghost" with its face painted white in the corner, suddenly opened his arms and jumped.
The "white ghost" was startled and took two steps back.
Lin Haoyu finally got the idea and kept jumping in front of the NPC.
The NPC also cooperated and pretended to be frightened, making a whimpering sound.
Lin Fengyi followed Lin Qianqian and walked along the path in the haunted house. Along the way, he saw ghosts in various costumes.
After seeing so many "ghosts", he no longer felt afraid.
At the corner, the red-clothed female ghost whose wig was snatched away by Lin Qianqian appeared again. She was holding an inflatable sledgehammer and hit Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianqian hesitated for a moment, jumped back two steps and dodged.
"This female ghost in red must have traveled through time, from ancient times to the present. The iron hammer in her hand is really distracting." Lin Qianqian said.
Lin Fengyi looked at the hammer and found it was indeed quite modern.
The iron hammer looks similar to an ordinary real hammer, but it is wrapped in an inflatable outer layer.
Lin Qianqian frowned. NPCs are not allowed to use real tools.
unless......
Lin Qianqian walked towards the female ghost in red and reached out to grab the hammer.
The female ghost in red refused to let go, and the two began a tug-of-war.
Lin Fengyi walked over and joined Lin Qianqian's team. He grabbed the hammer and pulled it hard, and the hammer was pulled over.
The heavy feel of the hammer made him suspect that it was not fake.
"Second brother, take the hammer apart." Lin Qianqian also had doubts.
Lin Fengyi tore off the plastic inflatable outer packaging, and a rusty iron hammer appeared in front of the two.
It’s the real thing!
Lin Qianqian recalled the expression on the face of the red-clothed female ghost when she swung the hammer at her, and her eyes were filled with intense hatred.
That's not acting, that's real.
When she looked back, the female ghost in red had disappeared.
The lights in the haunted house are dim, and air conditioning blows from time to time to create a horror atmosphere.
In addition, there are holes on the wall. NPCs will hide in the holes and jump out to scare tourists when they pass by.
But no matter how scary it is, it's all acting, it's all fake.
Lin Qianqian continued to walk forward. In the dim light, a ghost head hung upside down from mid-air, with a long red tongue hanging down to the ground.
Lin Qianqian was not scared. She pulled the ghost's tongue, and the ghost let out a whine and slowly rose to the ceiling.
"Interesting, right?" Lin Qianqian said.
Lin Fengyi nodded. At this moment, a cold wind blew from behind him, and then something came floating over with a whoosh.
When he turned around, he saw a brick flying towards him.
"Qianqian, be careful." Lin Fengyi took a step forward, pushed Lin Qianqian away, and then quickly squatted on the ground, with bricks flying over his head.
The bricks are tied to ropes on both sides, like a swing.
The brick didn't hit anyone, it just swung back and forth in the air, then gradually lost its momentum and stopped.
Lin Fengyi stood up and reached out to grab the brick.
The brick is not too heavy, and it needs someone to give it power so that it can swing like a swing.
So someone must have been in the opposite direction of me, deliberately tightening the rope on the brick, and then letting go, so that the brick could fly towards me.
Lin Fengyi frowned and asked Lin Qianqian, "Can the NPCs in the haunted house hit people with bricks?"
Lin Qianqian shook her head. "Unless you don't want the salary."
Lin Fengyi felt something was wrong, as if there was a hand behind them that was trying to harm them.
He looked back and saw nothing on the dimly lit path.
"Lin Haoyu, Lin Haoyu!" he shouted several times.
There was a sound of running footsteps, and Lin Haoyu was holding a few playing cards in his hand.
He stood in front of Lin Fengyi, panting, "Those NPCs just now insisted on playing cards with me..."
Lin Fengyi put his hand on his shoulder, "Aren't you the eldest brother? How could you abandon Qianqian and me?"
Lin Haoyu immediately felt guilty. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so addicted to playing cards. This is the candy I won. I'll give it to you two."
He took out a big bag of candy from his pocket.
Lin Qianqian grabbed a handful from his palm and looked at the sign, which read "Pian Zai Huang".
Lin Qianqian: It’s not easy to be an NPC these days.
She continued walking forward, and the end of the haunted house was not far ahead.
Walk to the end and exit the haunted house.
A female ghost wearing a white long dress that dragged on the ground suddenly jumped out. Her white clothes were stained with blood, which looked very creepy.
The female ghost was wearing a clown mask and holding a rope in her hand as she walked towards Lin Qianqian, as if she was going to take her life.
Lin Qianqian looked at the female ghost in white. She was just up to her ears, the same height as the female ghost in red.
Lin Qianqian pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Then he took out a rubber band from his pocket.
Use your fingers as a frame and put the rubber bands over your fingers to make a slingshot.
The female ghost saw Lin Qianqian's actions through the eyes of the mask and asked in panic, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to hit your glass." Lin Qianqian said as she pulled up the slingshot.
