Chapter 90 Posthumous Photo

Zheng Xiao walked to the girl's side, his eyes filled with panic.

"I hope I didn't knock someone's child unconscious; I can't afford to pay for that with my salary!"

"It's all her fault for hiding inside. Maybe I should just leave."

A jumble of thoughts swirled in his mind, but in the end he decided to see how things went first.

What if it's not a child inside?

Looking at the paper effigy on the ground, Zheng Xiao slowly squatted down and tore open the effigy's head with his hands.

"Tear".

The sound of paper tearing was exceptionally clear, and a tear appeared on the paper effigy's face, splitting the exaggerated blush in two.

Zheng Xiao tore off a small piece of paper and peered inside, hoping to see what was inside, but all he saw was darkness.

"Is it a stone?"

"Wait a minute, she seems a little chubby."

Zheng Xiao became increasingly panicked as he looked at the paper. He could only take a few deep breaths before quickly tearing off a large piece of paper.

"Sizzle."

Now there was no obstacle, and he could clearly see a tuft of black hair and the faint outline of an ear beneath the black hair in the paper effigy.

"what!"

Zheng Xiao was startled and fell to the ground with a thud, crawling backward a few steps in a disheveled manner.

How is that possible!

How could it possibly be a head!

Zheng Xiao felt that he must be dreaming or hallucinating.

He felt a sudden, cool breeze on his neck, as if someone was gently blowing on his back.

"what!"

He turned around again, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

The girl was still in the corner not far away.

"No, that's not right!"

Zheng Xiao's eyes widened, and cold sweat soaked his back like a waterfall.

He discovered that the paper effigy was empty inside.

The black hair and ears I just saw have vanished into thin air.

Furthermore, the position of the paper effigy has changed from half-lying against the wall to lying flat.

Zheng Xiao's throat bobbed laboriously, and he felt his breathing becoming somewhat difficult.

"Damn it, I'm not looking anymore—I have to get out of here!" He got up from the ground, his heart filled with fear.

But just as he turned to walk in the direction opposite the mourning hall, he discovered that there was another mourning hall that looked exactly the same on the other side.

The same black lacquered wooden table, the same shriveled fruit, the same soybean flames.

"That's not right."

Zheng Xiao suddenly realized something and muttered to himself, "Aren't all the things in haunted houses fake fruit and electric candles?"

Yes.

If the haunted house is full of props—

Who put these real fruits and candles here?

"There is a ghost."

Zheng Xiao never believed in ghosts, but after witnessing these illogical events unfold before his eyes, he finally dared not harbor any more illusions.

Zheng Xiao used all his strength to get up from the ground and then rushed towards the corner he had just come from.

Even though it was only a few steps away, it felt as far as the ends of the earth to him.

"Bang!"

Zheng Xiao crashed into the wall, his head spinning.

He looked up and realized that the once dark corner had been hidden by a wall that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Zhou Li! Zhou Li! Let me out! There's a ghost!"

Zheng Xiao shouted loudly and turned his head quickly.

Unexpectedly, the distance between the two mourning halls was getting shorter.

Yes, he wasn't mistaken.

The walls of the mourning hall are gradually closing in on him.

"Clatter, clatter." The memorial tablets in the mourning hall made a series of sounds, and his black and white portrait smiled even more brightly.

"Giggle~"

"Brother, weren't you looking for us?"

"Brother, come and see us!"

"Brother, give us everything you have."

An eerie sound echoed in Zheng Xiao's ears, followed by the sight of two intact paper effigies kneeling before the mourning hall, staring at him with their dark, hollow eyes.

Zheng Xiao was so frightened that he lost all strength, collapsed to the ground, and cried out for help.

"Help! Someone please help me!"

Amidst the shouts, the mourning hall gradually closed in distance, finally stopping behind Zheng Xiao.

The paper money silently extended to his neck, wrapping around him and gradually suffocating him.

Zheng Xiao's face turned a purplish-red, his hands gripping the string of paper money tightly but unable to pull it apart.

In the black and white portrait, Zheng Xiao gradually grew larger until he filled the entire frame. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and stuck out a long, bright red tongue.

Her tongue, like a rope, deftly wrapped around Zheng Xiao's neck, slowly pulling him against the wall.

Zheng Xiao choked out a sob, feeling his consciousness gradually blurring, and finally even saw a hallucination of blue flames.

"call!"

Wait, wait a minute —

It doesn't seem like a hallucination.

Zheng Xiao felt the pressure on his neck ease, and then saw brilliant blue flames dancing before his eyes, burning the mourning hall to ashes.

"Cough cough—cough cough—"

The next second, he squatted on the ground, coughing violently, and spat out a large pile of charred paper money.

"Are you alright?"

When the voice asked, Zheng Xiao looked up and saw a very handsome young man.

"Cough—There's a ghost! There's a ghost here!" He looked at the other person in fear, afraid that the other person was also some kind of ghost.

Du Wang's expression turned serious; he felt that this demon was somewhat troublesome.

The photo of the tongue sticking out has been burned to ashes, and the mourning halls that were originally very close to each other have been restored to their original positions.

However, the eerie atmosphere did not disappear, and the demons did not let out any screams.

Even in his field of vision, the black mist vanished, disappearing without a trace.

He had initially thought the demon was simply possessing an object in the maze, but now, seeing its skillful manipulation of the maze, it was clear that it controlled the entire haunted house maze.

This also means that haunted house mazes have become a different kind of ghost realm.

The best way to deal with this kind of demon is to use physical weapons to flatten the entire building.

Unfortunately, he could not abandon the survivors.

Du Wang picked Zheng Xiao up by the hand and said, "Look carefully, I'm a human being."

Zheng Xiao felt as helpless as a chick.

Fortunately, after venting his emotions, he finally got rid of the fear he had just experienced.

"Thank you, thank you for saving me."

"It's alright, it's what I should do." Du Wang glanced at the ID in his hand and asked, "Tell me, how many people were in the haunted house maze?"

Upon seeing the police identification, Zheng Xiao immediately felt much more at ease.

"There are four people in the maze: myself, Zhou Li, and two children. Zhou Li is in charge of maze management and monitoring."

"A colleague who is in control."

"Hmm." Du Wang continued, "Then do you know Zhou Li's location?"

"I...I don't know. I only know the location of the dispatch room."

"Where is the dispatch room?"

"There is a secret door in the vampire area."

"Where is the vampire area?"

Zheng Xiao glanced around, then hurriedly pointed south: "It should be over there!"

"Okay, stay close to me."

Du Wang was the first to walk towards the corner.

Seeing his savior leave, Zheng Xiao shuddered and hurriedly followed.

at the same time.

Twilight was walking through the eerie ancient castle maze, where there were hordes of monsters jumping out from every dark corner.

However, every time they appear, they are met with incredibly swift and sharp sword light.

Mumu showed no mercy, tearing all the skeletons to pieces with her sword and turning them into dust.

"Phew." After chopping down another one, the girl patted her chest.

"If you kill all the ghosts and monsters that appear, you won't be afraid anymore."

Just then, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from the adjacent corridor.

"Yingying, Lele, is that you?"

Upon hearing the question, the child cried even louder.

Mumu quickly stepped forward and crossed the corner.
