Chapter 29 I found a weird CP!
In the dark room, only the candle in his hand flickered faintly.
Because it had been a long time and the battery life was insufficient, the candle light flickered, reflecting the face of the person in front of me.
Sheng Yi lowered his head and saw Chu Ling's pretty face that was tense.
She leaned very close to him, covered his mouth with one hand, and put the index finger of the other hand against her lips, making a hushing gesture to him. Her cat-like round eyes turned around at the sound, and finally she winked at him suggestively.
Perhaps because her hands were covering him too tightly, Sheng Yi felt like he could hardly breathe.
He didn't even dare to move his lips, for fear that any movement would affect Chu Ling.
In the quiet space, he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
Once, twice, the sound came down like drums.
[Oh my god! So exciting!]
[What is Chu Ling doing?! Why is he suddenly covering someone's mouth?]
[They probably figured out this ghost can't see, so it relies on sound to catch people. It's not convenient to explain in detail right now, so it's best to just cover it up.]
[I have to say he's quite clever and quick-witted. I followed him the whole thing and almost didn't understand it.]
[I understand the reasoning, it's all about completing the mission, but why do I feel like the moment Chu Ling covered it up... was really a bit too much.]
[I get it! Such a strong tension! Handsome men and beautiful women are truly pleasing to the eye!]
[It's so sinful, but I really got hooked on this cult...even though it doesn't seem to have much of a future [sad].]
Who would have thought that when everyone was buying stocks this morning, it would be the Qin-Wen couple that showed off their affection first, or the Sheng-Wen couple that came later and took the lead? Who would have thought that the first couple to interact would be Sheng Yi and Chu Ling... What are they called?
Someone just cursed, calling them the Arrogant and Domineering CP.
[…I have to say, it really suits their temperaments.]
[It's a good joke, but it's hilarious to think that while they were being intimate, Wen Shu was still lying in the coffin waiting for rescue. Someone please save our precious Wen Shu!]
The NPC ghost slowly moved around the room, heading towards their location.
Chu Ling covered Sheng Yi and stepped back, avoiding the path of the NPC ghost. In the end, the two of them were almost squeezed into the corner, tightly pressed together.
Sheng Yi stretched out his hand, still standing in front of Chu Ling, ready to be the first to sacrifice himself if he was caught.
Chu Ling snuggled beside him, and he could even feel her body temperature, breathing and heartbeat.
wrong.
Maybe it was his heartbeat.
My heart is dead, stop beating.
Sheng Yi thought a little depressedly, I’m dancing so loudly, maybe a ghost will hear it.
But they were lucky.
The NPC ghost listened around and when he heard no movement, he returned to his coffin and lay down peacefully.
Chu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and released his hand that was covering Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi also understood.
This NPC ghost can only catch people through sound - even though the staff member playing the role should be able to see outside through the mask, due to the rules, they still cannot be caught until they make any noise.
Then all you have to do is play "statue" with them, and the difficulty of the haunted house that you originally thought was full of dangers will be reduced all of a sudden.
It was also thanks to Chu Ling's ability to think it through.
"All clear."
Chu Ling said in the lowest possible voice, "Continue searching."
After she finished speaking, she wiped her hands on Sheng Yi's clothes twice.
"Hello."
Sheng Yi laughed softly, a little speechless, "Do you dislike me so much?"
"Ah, no."
Chu Ling blinked, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face, "I'm just a little bit of a germaphobe. I just wiped it off. Do you mind?"
Sheng Yi: “…”
Is this a reason for you to wipe your hands on other people's clothes?
Although her tone was so self-righteous that it sounded like a princess, Sheng Yi didn't find it annoying. He just asked, "Why didn't you have mysophobia when you were covering it just now?"
And I kept it hidden for so long.
"It was an emergency just now. I was trying to save your life, okay?"
Chu Ling taught him in return, "You should be grateful and repay the kindness you have shown me instead of arguing with me about this."
[…I was wrong. Shouldn't I support this couple? It seems like they don't have a good relationship.]
[These are the two most talkative people on the show. How good of a relationship do you expect? They didn't start arguing because they were saving face for the photographer.]
[It doesn't matter! I'm going to force it! Even if it's my mortal enemy, I'm still happy to eat it!]
[Do you really think they have a bad relationship? I don't think so. Given their personalities, the fact that they didn't fight each other to death shows that they actually like each other. Look at Chu Ling's attitude towards the other male guests.]
[…You have a point.]
[Male 1, Male 2, Male 4:? Who will speak up for me?]
“—Found it!”
Chu Ling suddenly said in surprise.
She found the final key piece of evidence, the ghost marriage certificate.
This is a haunted house, and the main feature is the NPCs scaring people, so the plot is not complicated, even very popular.
A young girl was arranged to marry after death. Her relatives feared she would take revenge, so they dug out her eyes so that she would not be able to recognize the way home.
After the girl died, she turned into a ghost, slaughtered everyone here, and dug out their eyes. Her last grudge was that ghosts could not touch real objects, so she never found the marriage certificate.
She wanted to destroy the marriage certificate and end this ghost marriage in order to escape her fate.
Sheng Yi thought for a moment: "Then what should we do? Find the ghost and give it to her?"
This seems to be the normal logic for clearing the level.
But who knows where that female ghost is?
And when they walked out of this room, there was another circle of ghosts surrounding them outside. Even if they didn't make any sound, they might not be able to escape the sound of their movements.
Chu Ling held the marriage certificate in his hand. It didn't feel like a prop that was used repeatedly, but more like a mass-produced copy.
"How about... I try this first."
Chu Ling, with a gambler's mentality, tore up the marriage certificate directly.
【???】
What is she doing!? Is she crazy? Why is she destroying the props!?
However, the next second, the lights in the haunted house came on.
"Congratulations on passing the level."
A staff member's voice came over the radio, "All players can leave, come out of the corridor."
This time, the barrage was dumbfounded.
In another room, Wen Shu's coffin was automatically unlocked. She quickly climbed out and went to meet Chu Ling.
“So fast!”
She said happily, "I knew you could do it!"
The staff ghosts in the corridor also left.
The trio reviewed the plot as they walked towards the exit.
Although the design of this haunted house is not complicated and the puzzles are simple, the immersive experience is quite good.
Chu Ling had just torn the paper so quickly that Sheng Yi hadn't had time to stop him. He then asked, "Although the result was correct, if it wasn't paper tearing... what were you going to do?"
"It's just torn, not broken."
Chu Ling said lightly, "At most, I can just slide down to the ghost girl when I bring her to her. I helped her, so she can't blame me, right? I mean well."
Sheng Yi: “…”
A good attitude determines a person's life.
Because Chu Lingshengyi successfully passed the level, Qin Shuo was also released.
He stayed in there for about twenty minutes. Although it was safe, he was also bored. When he came out, he saw the trio chatting enthusiastically and asking questions to the staff of the haunted house.
Wen Shu: "So the way to clear the level is to tear up the marriage certificate? Is there any other way?"
The staff member answered: "Find the female ghost and give her the marriage certificate. She will also ask you to help tear it up."
"In fact, finding the marriage certificate has already completed the task. After that, almost no matter what you do, you will pass it."
"Also, if you find other ghost marriage accessories, such as earrings or rings, you can ask the ghost girl to exchange them for the teammates she had previously captured... This is considered a side quest, and you haven't completed it, but it doesn't affect the main storyline."
"Where's the amulet?"
Chu Ling asked again, "It doesn't seem to have any effect."
"The amulet is for our staff to see. If you wear the amulet, NPCs will not have direct physical contact with players, so as to avoid scaring players."
Wen Shu smiled: "That's quite a pity."
She also wanted to try being chased by a ghost.
They were talking about the plot and clues, but only Qin Shuo looked confused.
Haha, I have no idea what they are talking about.
After all, he was arrested on his first solo mission.
He hesitated for a long time, still feeling like an outsider even if he squeezed in.
"Oh, isn't this Teacher Qin?"
Chu Ling noticed Qin Shuo and said, "Finally he sees the light of day again."
“…”
The trio was in a great mood at the moment, and Qin Shuo couldn't interrupt. He could only lie and praise them, "I knew you could do it. You performed very well."
He looked at Wen Shu again, "Are you okay? Are you not scared?"
Wen Shu shook his head: "No."
"Wen Shu is amazing."
Sheng Yi glanced at Qin Shuo and said, "We were able to get out thanks to her finding clues."
Many people panic after falling into the coffin.
Wen Shu's ability to remain calm and deliver clues has already won him over many people.
"Yeah?"
Qin Shuo's face flashed with discomfort for a moment, but then he quickly put on an expression of admiration, "I was thinking about protecting you, but I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Wen Shu said calmly: "I don't really need protection."
"That's not the case."
Qin Shuo took the opportunity to speak, trying to win Wen Shu's favor, "Girls need protection, and it's natural for men to protect women—"
"——Teacher Qin, why don't you protect yourself first?"
Chu Ling opened his mouth, smiled, and said, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be only one person in our team who was abducted by the ghost?"
Qin Shuo: “…”
Qin Shuo: "...I just underestimated the enemy and didn't pay attention. Besides, I'm really not very good at this kind of project. And the protection I mentioned doesn't just refer to this game."
He looked at Wen Shu and said affectionately, "If you need me, I can protect you at any time—"
Protect?
Qin Shuo still dares to say that he will protect her?
Over the years, he was the one who had caused her the most harm. How dare he still say he would protect her?
Ever since Chu Ling advised her last time, Wen Shu felt that Qin Shu's love words sounded more and more like sugar-coated bullets driven by his desire for control.
It is called protection, but in fact it is control.
Wen Shu clenched his fists and was about to say something when Chu Ling said, "Oh, so Teacher Qin is planning to change careers and apply to be her bodyguard?"
Qin Shuo: “?”
“Protection at all times.”
Chu Ling said in the most ridiculous tone, "Isn't that the job of a personal bodyguard?"
Wen Shu couldn't help but laugh, then shook his head again: "No, I have bodyguards at home."
Wow.
Miss.
Chu Ling said regretfully, "That's a pity for Teacher Qin."
Sheng Yi watched from the sidelines, laughed several times in his heart, and added: "Then being a security guard is also fine."
Chu Ling pretended to think and said, "I heard that the competition in this field is quite fierce right now. Teacher Qin, you need to work harder to realize your wish of protecting Wen Shu."
Qin Shuo: “…”
It's all a mess.
Why hasn’t the program crew kicked these two people out yet!
