Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 126 Liuyun City (6)

Soon, the first group of players entered the haunted house and, following the arrows on the ground, arrived at a small wooden cabin.

"Be careful, I bet there are staff hiding behind this door trying to scare us..."

"This is such a cliché, I saw right through it..."

Most of the people who come to haunted houses are young people who want to experience something new and they are quite familiar with the rules of haunted houses.

However, this time, the players were disappointed.

The players opened the small door of the wooden house as if facing a formidable enemy, but unexpectedly a "ghost" suddenly appeared to scare them.

Inside the room, a woman dressed in a strange shrine maiden outfit had a long, curly wig covering most of her face.

When I looked up, a face covered in scars and wrinkles was revealed, with empty, dark eyes that looked as if someone had gouged out their eyeballs.

"...Hiss!" Among the players, someone gasped.

The "old witch" slightly opened her mouth, and a hoarse, rough voice, as if she had swallowed a thousand needles, rang out: "...Please draw your number balls, players."

"The number corresponding to the number on the ball will open the corresponding passage door."

After saying that, he raised his hand to indicate the ball-drawing box on the table.

After the old witch NPC reminded them, the players finally understood the purpose of the six numbered doors inside the cabin.

However... the players looked at each other, hesitant to step forward, fearing there might be a trap.

"This should just be an NPC giving out quests; there shouldn't be any danger..."

"Go draw one quickly..."

"Yes, yes, you go first..."

"Why did I go first? Why didn't you go first...?"

Amidst the noise and commotion, the players eventually lined up and drew their number balls. However, some players who had come together as friends saw that they had drawn different numbers and needed to enter different passages, so they wanted to draw their number balls again.

"Can I draw this twice?"

"Yes, yes, I want to go with my friend..."

The old witch didn't speak, but simply held up one finger and shook it from side to side to indicate her refusal.

Seeing this, the players had no choice but to give up.

Although NPCs that issue quests may not seem dangerous, they could be hidden bosses, so players didn't dare to mess with the old witch.

"I want to see what kind of fun this haunted house has to offer..."

"Then I'll go this way..."

"Don't let yourselves be scared to tears..."

As the players entered the passage one by one, the "old witch" relaxed completely, slumped into her chair, and muttered to herself, "Next up is Xianjiu and the others..."

Thinking of this, Gu Ling took out the special mobile phone provided by the haunted house, switched to various real-time monitoring screens, and watched the players' performance under the monitors with great interest.

In the surveillance footage, the players were scattered, and some of the more timid players already showed a hint of fear on their faces.

"Ahhh..."

"Help!"

Soon, screams from some players could be heard through the monitor.

Some small traps inside the haunted house were triggered. For example, a hole suddenly appeared in the floor. When the player stepped into it, he was covered in a red liquid that looked like blood. Inside the hole, there were several pale blue skeletal hands that suddenly grabbed the player's legs.

For example: a small window suddenly opens in the wall, revealing a blood-dripping, hideous ghost face with its eyes staring straight at the player.

For example, when players are pulling doors, drawers, and curtains to look for clues, suddenly terrifying and bloody "ghosts" float out, opening their bloody mouths as if to bite off the player's head.

For example...

Gu Ling watched with great interest, even taking out snacks such as sunflower seeds and potato chips from the box next to her, eating sunflower seeds while watching the surveillance footage.

Tsk tsk~

It smells so good! It's so much fun!

Gu Ling muttered her comments to herself:

"They all acted quite well. I saw Uncle Xu..."

"This prop seems quite interesting; I'll take a look at it when I have time..."

"This group of players is no good, eliminating so many people so quickly... Hmm? These few are pretty fast, almost there at Xianjiu..."

Gu Ling finished a bag of potato chips, casually tossed the bag into the trash can, and sighed, "So much free time... When will the next batch of players arrive?"

Oh, the next batch of players can only come after this batch of players has completed the game or been eliminated.

Gu Ling opened a new bag of potato chips and continued to stare intently at the surveillance footage.

……

at this time.

In one surveillance video—

After a series of "tortures," some of the players who had been separated by the passage were the first to clear the level and regrouped at the exit.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the rest of the players.

"Ahead... is this a banquet hall? Are we about to trigger a new quest?"

"Let's go look for any clues..."

"Be careful, don't run into any traps..."

"..."

The six players, three men and three women, walked toward the banquet hall, all keeping their eyes wary of their surroundings, afraid that a 'ghost' might suddenly jump out from some blind spot.

After entering the banquet hall, the players began to scatter to look for clues.

The banquet hall was large, but the view was very open; you could see other people just by turning your head.

Seeing their companions made everyone feel a little more relaxed.

Just then, a curly-haired girl lifted a tablecloth to check if there were any clues hidden underneath, which stirred up a cloud of dust, causing her to cough involuntarily: "Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that there was nothing there, the curly-haired girl was disappointed for a moment, then turned her head and inadvertently noticed that the vase on another table seemed to have moved slightly.

The curly-haired girl paused for a moment, then blinked again and saw that there was nothing unusual; the vase was still sitting there steadily.

Two blue flowers were placed in the vase, their buds drooping gently, facing her.

"Xiaolin, come quick, I think I've found a clue..."

At that moment, someone called out to the girl.

Upon hearing this, the curly-haired girl took a step forward, but after only a few steps, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She quickly turned her head and looked around warily, but found nothing.

"Phew~" The curly-haired girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of the flowers in the vase... the buds were facing her.

The curly-haired girl didn't pay much attention and took a few more steps forward, but the next second she suddenly realized what had happened, and her expression turned horrified, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

...The flower bud is still facing her?

...Didn't she change direction?

The girl froze, then cautiously turned her head away.
