The road leading to the second checkpoint was pitch black. Even if Qiao Ruoxi and Qing Huan turned on their flashlights at the same time, they could only illuminate the area in front of them.
Qing Huan pulled at the corner of Qiao Ruoxi's clothes, huddled behind her, and asked in a low voice, "Ruoxi, are there really ghosts in this world?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Qiao Ruoxi's voice was steady and clear, without any fear in it, which made Qinghuan feel more at ease.
"I want to hear the truth."
"Of course there are ghosts in this world, especially in a big house with bad feng shui, which is more likely to attract ghosts." Qiao Ruoxi said casually.
Just at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and Qing Huan jumped up and hung directly on Qiao Ruoxi's body: "Is it a ghost, isn't it?"
Qiao Ruoxi was amused and shook her head: "Don't worry, this house has been suppressed before. As long as no one commits suicide or does something that violates the taboo, there will be no danger to life."
Qinghuan was in a complicated mood. After listening to Qiao Ruoxi's words, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
At this moment, as a cold wind blew, a white shadow jumped out.
Qiao Ruoxi was worried that Qinghuan would jump up again, so she simply reached out and hugged Qinghuan in her arms, and rubbed Qinghuan's head.
"Hey, don't be afraid, it's an NPC, here to deliver a mission card to us."
Qinghuan then looked up cautiously. In the dim light, Qiao Ruoxi's face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. Qinghuan felt that he saw the Goddess Guanyin!
The barrage of comments in Qiao Ruoxi's branch story also boiled over at this moment.
I feel so safe with Sister Xi. When the NPC showed up just now, I was startled, but Sister Xi didn't even blink. So cool!
[Wow, Sister Xi’s embrace must be fragrant. My soul has traveled to Sister Qinghuan. Sister Xi, please hug me too!]
Please, God, give me a best friend who is willing to stand in front of me when we play in an escape room. A girlfriend is fine too!
[Stop chatting, everyone, listen quickly, did I hear the content of this task card wrongly?]
Qing Huan held the task card, her eyes widening. "So that was a test? We chose the most difficult task, but it actually corresponds to the easiest task?"
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "That's exactly what's written on the mission card."
Qing Huan excitedly shook Qiao Ruoxi's hand. "Ruoxi, I was right to listen to you. We are so lucky. It's just five keys, such a simple task, we will definitely be able to complete it quickly!"
At the same time, Shen Lingran, who received the task card, was dumbfounded.
I was already in a bad mood after being frightened by the NPC, and I even kicked the NPC in a hurry. Now I was completely furious.
"I have a red bracelet, so this should be a two-star difficulty mission. Why are you giving me a four-star difficulty mission? Are you kidding me?"
The NPC covered his stomach which was hurt by Shen Lingran's kick, and his attitude was not very good: "This is a test from the director team. Since you have obtained the red bracelet, you must complete the four-star task. If you have any dissatisfaction, tell the director."
Having said that, he threw the task card to the ground and left.
Shen Lingran was furious: "Stop right there, what's your name? With your attitude, believe it or not, I will make sure you can't survive in Beijing!"
The NPC swaggered around with a mocking smile, "My name is Faceless Man. Remember that, Third Young Master of the Shen Family?"
"You!" Shen Lingran looked at the direction the NPC left and raised his fist high, but he only chased after him for two steps and didn't dare to continue.
The flashlight had little power left, and the surroundings were pitch black, shrouded in an inexplicable sense of terror. Shen Lingran had no choice but to return the way he came.
Off-camera, Shen Lingfei, the second young master of the Shen family, looked at this scene and frowned deeply.
Don’t these people know the status of the Shen family in Beijing? They actually dare to treat his brother like this.
In anger, he first called the director, but the director didn't answer his call at all, so he had to call the owner of the horror chamber.
The owner of the secret room got a headache when he saw the phone number, but he still answered it for the sake of the 50,000 yuan.
"You took my money, and this is how you do things?" Shen Lingfei said fiercely.
The boss laughed and said, "Second Young Master, this has nothing to do with me. The director team temporarily changed the task card for traffic. I am also a victim. But don't worry, it's just to embarrass Qiao Ruoxi. I have other ways!"
When Shen Lingfei heard that it was the director's idea, he immediately lost his temper.
He knows the director's temper. He will do anything for traffic and is not afraid of offending people.
If it weren't for the recent difficulties at home, the high appearance fee and good benefits given by the program team, he would not have brought Shen Lingran here to suffer this.
After hanging up the phone, the shop owner finally breathed a sigh of relief and called the secret room's control.
"Do you remember what the master we invited last time said?" asked the shop owner.
The stage controller recalled for a moment: "The master said that the old house has bad feng shui and is likely to attract wandering ghosts. He specifically instructed that the center of the formation should not be touched. There is an evil ghost sealed inside. If the center of the formation is destroyed, the old house will become a haunted house again."
At the end of the story, the field controller got goosebumps all over his body.
The first time they entered this old house, the shadow of being haunted by evil spirits still lingered.
"I have two tasks for you. First, arrange for two NPCs to hide the key at the center of the formation, so that Qiao Ruoxi and the others can accidentally break the formation. Second, invite the master over and tell him that the center of the formation has been destroyed."
Once the center of the formation is broken, the evil spirits will definitely harass the people nearby. Qiao Ruoxi and Qinghuan are closest to the center of the formation, so it will be difficult for Qiao Ruoxi to avoid being in trouble.
Mr. Shen's goal was achieved, and his 50,000 yuan was naturally safely in his pocket.
