The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 839 Mask
Connor and his companion, who thought they had found a loophole in the Nova Amusement Park, continued to advance deeper into the haunted house.

The two people, who were already fast on their feet, naturally began to move forward quickly after they set their goal. Unlike other tourists who were enjoying or passively enjoying the amusement facilities, the two people in Group A looked like masters of speed running games.

This is the youth of these two people. After finding a little clue, they became impatient and even forgot to disguise themselves, thinking only of moving forward.

In less than ten minutes, the two of them had already walked about half of the way and arrived at the safe house in the middle of the haunted house. There was not only a map of the entire haunted house, but also a calling device.

Visitors who do not want to experience the haunted house can press the call device and a staff member will come out of the hidden passage and take them away from the haunted house.

It was also here that Meghan had different ideas.

"You mean split up?" Connor raised an eyebrow. "But Dick said before that we should try to stay together."

"I know, but ordinary tourists can't enter the staff passage." Megan blinked slyly. "This is the only chance to enter the staff passage normally."

Megan was telling the truth. Only tourists who were evacuating in the middle of the haunted house could evacuate through the staff passage. The rest of the tourists, whether in the first or second half, could not leave. The staff would take the tourists out through the front and back doors respectively.

This is also one of the features of the Xinxing Amusement Park Haunted House, and is also recorded in the online travel guide.

In Megan's plan, she and Connor would act separately, and Connor would continue to experience the next process, while she would leave with the staff, and the two would check the haunted house and employee passage respectively.

Connor hesitated for a while, but finally chose to follow Megan's command.

Megan pressed the eye-catching big red button, and amidst a series of beeps, a sound came from the camera in front of her.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"Hello, I want to leave early." Megan said into the microphone in front of her.

"Okay, please wait a moment, we will send someone to pick you up right away."

The sound stopped after a beep. A few minutes later, a wall in the corner of the safe house was suddenly pushed open, creating a gap that gradually expanded into a passage wide enough for a person to pass through.

A staff member wearing a Nova Amusement Park uniform stepped out and asked, "Excuse me, were you the ones who pressed the distress button? I'll take you away right now."

Megan raised her hand and said, "Actually, I'm the only one who wants to leave. My companions want to stay and continue the experience."

The staff member showed a look of surprise, but his good work quality allowed him to recover immediately. However, the two superhumans still caught the change in his expression at that moment.

Connor was fine, but Megan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that the other party thought Connor was the kind of straight man who didn't understand romance and didn't know how to stay with his girlfriend.

But Megan knew in her heart that it was not certain whether their relationship could reach that point yet, so she could only apologize in her heart to Connor who was inexplicably blamed.

'Sorry, Connor.'

"What's wrong, Megan?" Connor asked, puzzled. "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

Megan's body stiffened. She had forgotten that the mind channel was still open. This was so embarrassing.

"Oh! Megan!" Megan resisted the urge to crawl into the ground. "It's nothing, just treat it as nonsense, please, Connor!"

Connor was a little confused, but he was smart enough to choose not to dwell on it. Megan took small steps, following behind the staff, and walked towards the staff passage.

"Megan, be safe." Connor's voice suddenly appeared in Megan's mind, and before Megan noticed, it turned into a warm current that flowed through Megan's body.

"Got it! Don't forget the telepathic communication!"

Where Connor couldn't see, Megan's mouth corners were almost stretched to the back of her head.

The door to the staff passage slowly closed. Connor stared at the wall for a while before turning around and pushing open the door of the safe house.

The decoration of the second half is completely different from that of the first half. This is probably because the haunted house wants visitors to experience two different styles of haunted houses.

You can say that this design is very conscientious, and you can get two experiences for one price, but you can also say that this behavior destroys the sense of immersion, which is also the point that the New Star Haunted House has been criticized for online.

I can only say that it is difficult to satisfy strong tastes.

Connor, who was alone again, frowned again. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that this haunted house was becoming more and more weird.

This sentence sounds strange. After all, the haunted house is supposed to create an atmosphere of weirdness and fear. Connor's idea is more like a compliment.

However, Connor didn't actually mean that. What he meant by weird was not the overall atmosphere of the haunted house, but the decorations hanging on the walls of the haunted house.

Most of these decorations are masks, which seem to be used to imitate the faces of various ghosts and monsters. There are mechanisms embedded inside, and occasionally the masks will move to create a horror atmosphere.

These things didn't scare Connor, it was mainly because one or two of the massive masks caught his attention.

Those were some ordinary-looking emotion masks, showing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all presented in the form of human faces. They were not particularly outstanding among all the ghost masks, and were so small that ordinary people could not detect them at a glance.

But Connor had a feeling that these masks must have some unique features, so in order to complete the investigation mission, he naturally walked towards those masks.

He took the lead and walked towards the mask closest to him, which was engraved with anger. He wanted to carefully examine the surface of the mask first, and then use his X-ray vision to see if he could find anything.

Stopping less than a meter away from the mask, Connor carefully examined the Mask of Angry. After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything useful, but he always had a feeling that he was just one step away from finding it.

Gradually, Connor was drawn in and didn't even notice that the camera in his room was quietly turned off.

"clatter."

A hand suddenly rested on Connor's shoulder. This sudden change did not scare the cautious Superboy, but Connor stood there like a fool.

"I can feel the child~"

A deep, hoarse male voice sounded in Connor's ear.

"There's a hidden anger in your heart. Why do you want to suppress it? Is there something you're afraid of?"

"I can't... I can't..." Connor trembled, his whole body shaking like a sieve. "I can't hurt... anyone else..."

"That's really heartwarming~" The man's tone was full of sarcasm.

"So, do the people you care about really care about you?"
