Those who reincarnate must die.

"Why did I have to be alone with him of all people...?"

Looking at Zhang Lang, Jiao Zuoren felt a surge of displeasure. (Google search reading)

He was indeed interested in Su Jie. His first meeting with this spirited, short-haired girl had immediately caught his eye. However, in subsequent interactions, although no one explicitly told him, his keen observation revealed that Su Jie seemed to pay particular attention to this taciturn, tall man.

It wasn't just verbal or physical concern; because he paid special attention to Su Jie, he noticed the details: when the girl smiled, she would unconsciously glance at Zhang Lang. But this man didn't seem to pay much attention to her.

The two are not a couple; they are only in the stage of having feelings for each other!

He has a chance!

Jiao Zuoren had wanted to break up with his girlfriend for a long time, but because he couldn't bear to part with her father's status and connections, he could only keep the relationship hanging. Now, through Cheng Jun, he met Su Jie, and especially after hearing that this Miss Su's father was a famous lawyer in the industry, he immediately started to have designs on her.

He believed that with his looks, temperament, and knowledge, plus their shared understanding of the law, winning over Su Jie would be a piece of cake. The problem was, right now, this Miss Su didn't even notice him. To gain her attention, he needed to get rid of this guy named Zhang Lang first.

Cheng Jun's guess was correct; the website incident was indeed intentional on Jiao Zuoren's part.

This guy noticed that Su Jie did show disappointment after learning that Zhang Lang was on a small website, which increased his chances!

Jiao Zuoren secretly resolved to use this trip to win Su Jie's favor. Once he was with her, he could officially break up with his current girlfriend!

However, reality often doesn't go as planned...

He originally planned to show off his masculinity in this haunted house, but he didn't expect the mechanisms to be so complicated and the environment so realistic. He considered himself very brave, but he was still scared several times. In a daze, he separated from Su Jie and the others and ended up stuck on the same road with this annoying Zhang Lang.

Well, it's all good. Although this guy is quite big, he looks quiet and timid, and even claims to be a coward... Maybe we can use the environment here to scare him!

Thinking of this, Jiao Zuoren's lips curled up slightly, and he turned to look at Zhang Lang: "Shall we speed things up? If the girls leave first, we'll be laughed at!"

Zhang Lang nodded without speaking, but suddenly turned to look to the side with a focused gaze.

Jiao Zuoren raised an eyebrow and followed his gaze, only to find that it was just a gray wall, nothing special.

"What's on the wall?" Jiao Zuoren asked curiously, noticing that Zhang Lang's gaze remained focused, and he was slowly walking towards the wall.

Out of curiosity, Jiao Zuoren also went closer. Just as he was concentrating most, the gray wall suddenly exploded, and a terrifying ghost face jumped out, accompanied by a mournful scream. Jiao Zuoren screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.

"What are you doing?"

Startled, Jiao Zuoren instinctively blamed Zhang Lang for drawing his attention to the wall, but when he turned around, he saw that Zhang Lang had also taken several steps back, seemingly quite frightened as well.

Having been startled, Jiao Zuoren couldn't afford to lose his temper further, lest he appear uncouth. So he could only dust himself off, stand up, and say somewhat irritably, "Let's go quickly!"

The two continued walking along the path and soon came to a dimly lit corridor. Halfway there, Zhang Lang suddenly squatted down to tie his shoelaces. Jiao Zuoren stopped to wait for him, but someone had triggered some mechanism, and billowing white smoke suddenly rose from both sides of the corridor, enveloping the two of them.

"What's wrong now?" Jiao Zuoren was startled and was about to run out of the thick smoke when suddenly a lot of cool, slippery things fell from above, covering him. Jiao Zuoren picked them up and saw that they were poisonous snakes!

"Wow!"

Jiao Zuoren screamed and turned to run, but he tripped over something and crashed head-on into a zombie that had emerged from the wall...

The zombie, also a staff member in disguise, bumped into him, its mask flying off and landing squarely on Jiao Zuoren's face. To make it realistic, the mask even had a putrid, rotting smell, almost suffocating Jiao Zuoren…

This was a minor incident. The snakes were obviously fake. The staff member quickly came up to apologize and asked if the two were injured and if they needed to go directly outside through the staff entrance.

To be honest, Jiao Zuoren was having enough, but Zhang Lang suddenly said, "You seemed pretty scared just now, why don't you go with him first? I can walk the rest of the way myself..."

"Who's scared?" Jiao Zuoren suddenly realized. If he had gone out with the staff early, how would he explain it to Su Jie and the others? Would he say he was scared and came out first? And that Zhang Lang was brave enough to risk his life inside?

"No need!" Jiao Zuoren adjusted his glasses. "It's nothing...it's nothing!"

Since there was nothing else to do, the two continued walking downhill.

This haunted house has many different mechanisms. To enhance the atmosphere and immersion, some mechanisms open automatically when someone arrives, while others require visitors to activate them themselves, such as accidentally pressing a button or stepping on a hidden door...

Generally speaking, tourists cannot activate all the mechanisms in one walk, but coincidentally, Zhang Lang and Jiao Zuoren seemed to have "extreme luck" and stepped on every mechanism they passed along the way.

Moreover, it's usually not a normal activation. Jiao Zuoren feels as if he's been bewitched, and he always triggers terrifying mechanisms in unexpected places and at unexpected times.

He thought he had figured out the tricks of the trade after all the bumps along the way, but every time he was confident that he could avoid the traps, he would trigger an even more terrifying one. Without any mental preparation, the shock he received was only more severe!

Jiao Zuoren was somewhat devastated. He wasn't like this before, and he shouldn't be like this...

This wasn't his first time in a haunted house. Even though the scale was different from this one, most of the tricks were similar. In the past, even if he couldn't see through the tricks, he would never have focused on the wrong thing every time and ended up in such a mess!

Gradually, Jiao Zuoren began to realize that many of the mechanisms were related to Zhang Lang!

That's right, this guy was just as startled as he was, sometimes even more so. But it was precisely this panic that threw him off balance! He even randomly triggered some mechanisms he wasn't prepared for!

I definitely don't get along with this guy! I need to find a way to get rid of him!

With this thought in mind, Jiao Zuoren began to deliberately speed up and distance himself from Zhang Lang.

Finally, at a fork in the road, he took advantage of the moment when the mechanism was triggered and the gate was about to close, slipped through the door, separated himself from Zhang Lang, and got rid of this annoying guy for good!
