Haunted House in the City That Never Sleeps
"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving! Aaaaaaahhhhhh~"
The tenor's voice filled the room, like a fine symphony.
Shen Beian jumped onto Gu Nanyan, tightly locking her throat, burying her head in Gu Nanyan's shoulder, and closing her eyes tightly.
Gu Nanyan's phoenix eyes were full of smiles and doting affection as he reached out and hugged him. "An'an, it's all fake, don't be afraid. We'll walk out slowly."
"Don't be slow! Hurry up, hurry up!" Shen Beian shouted. He never expected this haunted house to be so terrifying!
This is way scarier than the haunted houses he went to in the First World.
It's not the kind of ghost like in the First World, it's a kind of deformed monster!
What?! An octopus has ninety-six legs, and a fish has four eyes and two mouths!
Gu Nanyan seemed to be enjoying himself, maintaining his unhurried pace. Shen Bei'an seemed to sense something and kept patting Gu Nanyan, "Hurry up!" His voice was almost choked with tears. How could this sound so real!
No wonder there are hardly any people in the entire city that never sleeps!
"An'an, I'm so tired from holding you." If she didn't take the opportunity to make some profit, she would be letting down her reputation as a capitalist.
It is perhaps in times of crisis that people are more capable of making the most urgent responses.
It might also be because we've known each other for over twenty years and I understand her very well.
"Gu Nanyan! Don't even think about taking this opportunity to sign an unequal treaty!" Shen Beian kept her eyes tightly shut, clutching Gu Nanyan's clothes.
Gu Nanyan seemed to be playing around and let go of her hand. Shen Beian's eyes widened suddenly, and she grabbed Gu Nanyan's neck tightly, shouting, "Gu Nanyan!" She clung to Gu Nanyan desperately.
"Baby, didn't you want to come and have some fun? Your wife even dropped everything to come and accompany you." A smile spread across her eyes and brows, her lips curving slightly, her radiance as bright as the summer sun.
Shen Bei'an's eyes widened in disbelief, "Gu Nan'an!!" His voice cracked.
It's also thanks to the fact that the haunted house here uses holographic images and AI; if it were a real NPC, they would probably be terrified by Shen Bei'an.
"Baby, I can hear you, you don't need to shout so loudly." Gu Nanyan stopped moving and stood still. The deformed monsters kept passing by, and there were all sorts of noises. Shen Bei'an was so frightened that she hid in Gu Nanyan's arms again.
"Go away, go away!" He never wanted to play with these junk things again!
Gu Nanyan remained unmoved. "I actually think this place is quite fun. An'an, open your eyes and look. This scene is based on a horror novel. The haunted houses in the City That Never Sleeps all have sub-scenes. Didn't An'an choose this sub-scene herself?"
The voice remained gentle and soft.
This reminded Shen Beian of when he first came in. He had randomly picked a book and hadn't listened to the rules carefully; he was just curious about the posters hanging on the wall next to him.
Unlike the posters in the First World, the posters here can be viewed as holographic images by clicking a button.
"How should I know!" Shen Bei'an was now being unreasonable. "I don't care, just take me out of here, or you can sleep in the study!"
Gu Nanyan raised an eyebrow and gently patted his back to comfort him, "An'an, it's really not scary. The notebook you chose is really fun. Since we're here to play, doesn't An'an want to enjoy the fun?"
Gu Nanyan has some wicked traits, but they have never been shown to Shen Bei'an except in matters of that kind.
Since they were there for sightseeing, Gu Nanyan naturally hoped that Shen Bei'an could have a good time.
Many people see haunted houses as a way for couples to deepen their relationship, but for Gu Nanyan, there are many ways for couples to deepen their relationship when they go out to play, but making Shen Bei'an happy is the most important thing.
"I don't want it! I don't want this notebook anymore!" Shen Bei'an shouted with his eyes closed, refusing to open them.
"An'an, are you sure? This book is a fanfiction of 'The Person on the Verge of Death,' and it will feature the Night God, whom An'an likes." Gu Nanyan guided Shen Bei'an to slowly open her eyes.
Upon hearing "Night God," Shen Beian's eyes snapped open. He remembered why he had chosen this book in the first place—it was because he had seen Night God.
"Really...really?" Tears welled in her raven-feather-like eyelashes as she still held Gu Nanyan in her arms.
The holographic version of "The Man on the Verge of Death" has been released, but updates are slow. Shen Beian has been reading it.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Gu Nanyan repeated the same words.
Because I have never lied, I feel no guilt whatsoever when I say such things.
Furthermore, because they had never been deceived and had always trusted each other.
Shen Bei'an carefully got off Gu Nan'an, but still kept her eyes closed. As soon as she got off, she firmly held Gu Nan'an's hand, their fingers intertwined.
"An'an, don't think about anything right now," Gu Nanyan held his hand and whispered in his ear, "Slowly open your eyes, and you'll find that this place is actually quite fun. Our mission is to find the Night Goddess and carry out missions with her."
Just from Gu Nanyan's words, Shen Bei'an had already begun to look forward to it.
She simply held onto Gu Nanyan's hand tightly.
And so, Gu Nanyan led Shen Bei'an slowly out of the haunted house.
The moment they stepped out of the haunted house, Shen Bei'an jumped up and onto Gu Nan'an, shouting, "We're out! We're out!"
“Yes, An’an is great.” Gu Nan’an wrapped his arms around Shen Bei’an’s waist, pursed his lips, and smiled slightly. His deep eyes were filled with tenderness that was almost overflowing.
There weren't many people in the city that never sleeps, but there were still quite a few people enjoying themselves.
