Manni and the little girl had no objections, but Meng Huaichuan frowned, seemingly feeling that it wasn't good to have a girl as the vanguard in a dangerous situation. He reached out and grabbed the rope, looking at Bi Xie and saying, "Let me go first."
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Bi Xie didn't refuse. He let go of his hand and reminded him, "Be careful."
Meng Huaichuan nodded and began to climb.
Bi Xie crossed his arms and leaned against the cave wall, watching with Man Ni as Meng Huaichuan's figure gradually disappeared into the cave entrance. A few seconds later, a scream was suddenly heard, followed by deathly silence.
Manny also screamed in terror, her whole body trembling. She stared at the cave entrance in horror and muttered in a daze, "Something's happened, something must have happened. It must have been a rope lowered by a ghost. Meng Huaichuan must have been killed by a ghost."
Even the little girl dressed as a ghost was startled by the scream outside and clung to Bi Xie's leg in fear.
The rope was lowered again, hanging there all alone.
Manny stared intently at the rope, her pupils dilating in terror. "There's blood on the rope, blood..."
Bi Xie narrowed his eyes, rubbed his fingers on the rope, and the blood stained his fingers. It was indeed blood, and... it was fresh blood.
Whether it's human blood or animal blood, the production team achieved its goal; at least it really gave off a haunted house vibe.
If she hadn't already traveled through several worlds and died several times, she would have been terrified in this situation.
"Are you going up or not?" Bi Xie turned his head and glanced at Man Ni, who was huddled in the corner.
She was covered in cold sweat, her hands clasped together in front of her chest as if praying to the gods. Hearing her words, she screamed uncontrollably, "I'm not going up! I'm not going up!" Anyway, she only had to stay in the haunted house for one day, and the production team would send someone to pick her up after the adventure ended tomorrow.
Bi Xie didn't insist. He tugged on the rope and prepared to climb up to see what was going on. But a cold, hard object was draped over his leg. The little girl's face still had that ghostly makeup, like a doll from a horror movie, which was particularly eerie. "Sister, I'll go with you."
Before Bi Xie could speak, Man Ni screamed hysterically, "Take her away!" She'd rather kill her than have her stay with this thing!
“Alright, you can come with me.” Bi Xie glanced down at Man Ni, who was terrified, then turned back and started climbing.
As she approached the cave entrance, Bi Xie had mentally prepared herself so that even if she were to be confronted by a terrifying, pale, bloodshot-eyed, black-haired ghost face, she wouldn't scream in fright. However, the cave was quiet and empty.
She jumped out in surprise, the little girl following behind her, calling into the cave, "There's no danger outside, come out now."
Bi Xie glanced at the rope, followed it for a dozen steps, and saw a huge handmaid statue. The other end of the rope was tied to the handmaid's left foot, and behind the handmaid statue was only a dark passage.
No one touched the rope, but she clearly felt that it had been loosened a bit.
The little girl was still shouting into the hole, "Come out, it's really okay."
Bi Xie went back and glanced into the cave. He guessed that Man Ni definitely wouldn't come out. Putting aside the fact that this little girl had dressed up as a ghost, given Man Ni's personality, she would probably suspect that even if there was a real problem outside, Bi Xie wouldn't tell her the truth and would lure her out to get into danger together.
Anyway, Bi Xie had no idea what Man Ni had encountered before, which led to her falling into this cave in such a sorry state, and he even believed that there really were ghosts.
“I’m going to continue on my way. Are you coming?” Bi Xie looked at the little girl and casually tugged at the bell on the maid’s wrist. The clear and melodious sound was like a wind chime being swayed in the wind.
The little girl's identity had already been exposed, and she wouldn't have any more opportunities to appear. Seeing that Manni was huddled in the cave and wouldn't come out, and worried that she would get sick from the cold inside, she shook her head and said, "I'm not leaving, sister, you go ahead."
Bi Xie unzipped her backpack, took out two chocolates, and tossed them over, saying, "Now, I'm off."
The little girl caught the chocolate, grinned, revealing her blood-red lips and white teeth, and said, "Goodbye, sister."
After entering the passage behind the Handmaid statue, we walked for about half an hour. The passage seemed to have no end, getting longer and longer, like a maze.
The flashlight's beam is getting dimmer and dimmer; it's almost out of power.
This must have been a deliberate arrangement by the production team to prevent the flashlights from lasting until tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from somewhere. Bi Xie stood still, and after a while, the cameramen who had been filming her suddenly appeared in the corridor. One of them, who seemed a bit timid, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. "We were so scared! We thought something had happened to you. Luckily, the production team informed us of your location..."
"Is there a surveillance camera in this haunted house?" Bi Xie noticed the word "location" he mentioned.
Another photographer smiled and explained, "It's not a surveillance camera, it's a GPS watch, it's in your backpacks."
Bi Xie rummaged in her backpack and found a GPS watch. She smiled and said, "Do you also know Xiao Yingdi's location? Can you take me there to find him?"
Bi Xie's perilous escape from the broken bridge had already earned her some respect from the crew, and given her good looks, the cameramen were even more reluctant to refuse. However, they still hesitated, saying, "Only the production team knows the information. Even if we're willing to ask for you, they might not tell us..."
Of course, he wouldn't answer if asked directly. Bi Xie narrowed his eyes and said slyly, "You can tell the production team that you've found me, but I'm injured and the first aid supplies in my backpack have fallen out. Could you send me Xiao Jingyi's location information so you can take me there to get my wound bandaged?"
“This…”, the photographers still hesitated.
Bi Xie frowned, looking at the group suspiciously: "The production team didn't say we players couldn't gather together, did they? Is Xiao Jingyi's location supposed to be kept secret?"
One of them looked at his companion and tentatively said, "Shall we give it a try?"
After a moment, the group looked at Bi Xie helplessly: "The production team won't say anything..."
"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't." Bi Xie remembered his cheat code, "Ru Hua, help me find the location of the big boss."
"Alright, host, please wait a moment." Ru Hua diligently went to find the big boss.
Bi Xie continued walking towards the passage. There was a small dot of light ahead, which seemed to be the way out. However, she walked for a long time, and the small dot of light was still just a tiny dot, neither near nor far ahead. The passage did not widen or narrow, as if she were going around in circles.
The photographer who had previously explained the GPS watch nervously asked, "Could it be that we've encountered a ghost wall?"
