Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Shi looked at the three pairs of expectant eyes in front of him and took the haunted house brochure.

After all, he came to the amusement park specifically to experience the haunted house with Ye Cheng.

Upon seeing this, the Tatar emperor simply said "thank you" and quickly ran away.

After all, for a perpetually single person, the male protagonist of a harem anime is just too damaging.

After the meal, the four of them rested for a while.

At the request of the other three.

The four-person team finally set off in a grand procession towards the enormous castle at the deepest part of the amusement park.

at the same time.

Inside the haunted house, in the monitoring room.

The manager and employees who should have been sitting here are now tied up, gagged with towels, and neatly stacked in the corner, their eyes filled with terror.

Instead, a group of mercenaries dressed in black combat uniforms, exuding a menacing aura, appeared.

The leader, a scarred man, stared at the monitor screen, watching Lin Shi and his group walk toward the gate, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Just then.

A young mercenary who looked quite young and had only recently joined the workforce glanced nervously at the hostage tied up in the corner.

Then he glanced at his equipment, which was out of place among ordinary people.

Finally, turning to the scarred man, he cautiously asked:

"Boss."

"We're so conspicuous, yet we've made such a big fuss."

"Aren't you really afraid of the police?"

Before he could finish speaking...

The other mercenaries in the monitoring room stopped what they were doing and turned around.

They all stared at the new recruit with the same look they would give someone mentally challenged.

The air was silent for three seconds.

Scarface took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and patted the rookie on the shoulder with a meaningful expression:

"Little Li, is this your first mission?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then it's not surprising."

Scarface took another deep drag of his cigarette and turned to look at the surveillance camera.

Don't worry.

"Although I don't know why, it's before we get down to business."

"Whether it's success or failure."

"The police are always one step behind us."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Li nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"I understand, I understand. So, what do we do now?"

"Now? Time to get to work, brothers!"

Scarface shouted, turning his gaze to the monitor at the entrance to the haunted house.

The "staff member" in charge of reception was very attentive to the atmosphere, explaining the situation to Lin Shi:

"Those with heart disease, high blood pressure, or other physical discomfort are not allowed to enter."

"There are real-life NPCs inside. If you can't accept that, you can choose to give up now."

As he spoke, he produced a very long disclaimer.

With a "whoosh" sound.

The folded paper unfolded quickly, revealing a length of about one meter.

The densely packed clauses are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"This contains detailed information about potential frights, accidents, and..."

Lin Shi looked at the somewhat excessively long disclaimer and broke out in a cold sweat.

No matter how you look at it, this haunted house doesn't seem very safe.

However, a quick glance revealed that it was just a deliberate trick used by the merchant.

The many situations that could be described together will be discussed separately.

The fact that the haunted house was used to create a sense of danger in advance.

With a few quick strokes, he signed his name.

Ye Cheng signed it without even looking at it.

After all, no matter how dangerous a haunted house is, it's just a real-life NPC, and it can't be more challenging than her playing sumo wrestling with a bear in the mountains.

The two people behind her, seeing the disclaimer that seemed a bit off, wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Cheng's frankness, they hesitated.

Without saying much, he simply signed his name.

After signing, the "staff member" checked it again.

They then began urging Lin Shi and his group to enter.

Lin Shi looked at the staff's somewhat anxious appearance and was puzzled:

"Um, I heard there were also walkie-talkies and lighting equipment? Haven't we received them yet?"

No, no.

The staff waved their hands repeatedly.

"Those are all old almanacs. They've been updated now, so we don't need them anymore."

As he spoke, fearing Lin Shi wouldn't believe him, he pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner:

"Now it's all monitored in real time, so any problems are detected immediately."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Lin Shi did not ask any further questions.

He turned to look at Ye Cheng and chuckled softly.

I was overthinking it.

With Ye Cheng around, what unexpected things could possibly happen?

The four of them began to venture inside the haunted house.

As soon as I entered, a gust of cold wind mixed with the musty smell of disinfectant hit me.

This is a long, narrow corridor that has been decorated to resemble an abandoned emergency room.

Both sides were covered with tattered white curtains stained with dark red paint.

The overhead lights seemed to be malfunctioning, flickering and making it particularly eerie.

Ye Cheng still displayed the characteristics of a "male lead," running ahead to scout the way.

Following them are Liu Ruyan and Xia Ye.

Lin stayed at the back to prevent anyone from falling behind.

Having seen the promotional images before, the haunted house does indeed occupy a considerable area, and walking through it takes at least 20 minutes.

As a normal man, Lin Shi was actually a little expectant at this moment.

Ye Cheng is usually fearless and always acts bravely and forges ahead.

But she's a girl after all, and when faced with such a gloomy and terrifying environment, she might reveal her vulnerable side.

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a soft "click" sound came from ahead.

It was Ye Cheng, who was walking in front, who triggered the sensor mechanism under the floor.

"roar--!!"

With a piercing screech of air pressure, the ventilation duct overhead, covered in cobwebs, suddenly exploded!

A skeleton dressed in a hospital gown and wrapped in bandages suddenly launched itself upside down from above, landing directly in front of Ye Cheng, less than five centimeters from the tip of her nose!

at the same time.

In the shadows of the adjacent hospital bed, a real-life NPC named Xiao Li, responsible for "finishing off" the enemy, is holding a prop axe, ready to strike.

His original plan was to wait until the skeleton terrified the group into screaming and panicking before rushing out, accompanied by sound effects, to deliver a psychological blow to them.

However.........

There was no screaming.

There was no chaos.

Then the corridor lights flickered, and he looked at the four people in the corridor.

Lin Shi seemed to want to walk forward.

The two people in the middle were indeed somewhat frightened and moved back a little closer to Lin Shi.

However, since it wasn't triggered by them, the sense of fear was slightly less intense.

As for Ye Cheng........

Instead of taking a step back, he curiously approached the still-swaying skull.

She even reached out and poked the skull's eye sockets with her fingers, then pinched its ribs, turning back to comment with a serious expression:

"Brother Lin, the texture of this bone doesn't feel right, it's like plastic."

Hiding in the shadows, assassin Xiao Li: "..."

His hand, gripping the axe, froze in mid-air; he couldn't decide whether to go out or not.

This script is wrong!

Shouldn't a normal girl be terrified if she saw a skull right in her face?

Why are you even handling it like that?!

Show some respect to my skeleton brother!
