Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Chapter 86, Section 87: The Test of Courage Ends (Combined Chapter)

Just do it.

Xu Lin and the young lady immediately began planning steps to scare the operations team in return.

"First, we need to confirm the time. It should have been about five minutes since the fireworks went off, but we don't have a phone to confirm it accurately, so let's just say it was seven minutes."

Xu Lin pressed his brow with one hand, his mind racing with thoughts of a plan.

"According to the boss, the operations team will set off ten minutes after us, but considering the difference in pace, it can be determined that if the operations team catches up, they should already be very close to our location."

"Then what shall we do?"

"The first solution is to consider that the operators who come to set up the venue are likely familiar with the road conditions, so we can make some simple changes to the on-site setup to slow them down..."

And then...

Xu Lin smiled slightly.

These bastards, do they like stirring up trouble? Do they like causing chaos and watching the show? If I don't scare the shit out of you today, I'm not the toilet-blowing monster I used to be!

. . . . . . .

Just as Xu Lin had predicted, the operations team's first target was indeed not the two of them.

This was just Xu Lin's simple deduction based on the psychology of the operators. They definitely wanted him and the young lady to stay in such a gloomy and terrifying place a little longer, and then put the greatest pressure on Xu Lin and the young lady when they had finished capturing the other groups and the three of them reunited.

To maximize the effect of the suspension bridge, thereby achieving the goal of "stirring up trouble and getting something for nothing".

But this also gave Xu Lin and the young lady time to prepare.

Everything is proceeding according to Xu Lin's plan, and our 'ghosts' have now assembled.

"Hamster, how are things over there?"

In a gloomy corner, a man covered in bandages, with only his glasses visible, holding a giant scythe and wearing a black cowboy hat, suddenly appeared, startling the hamster.

"Oh my god, it's Fuli! You scared me to death."

The hamster patted its chest, still shaken, and couldn't help but complain.

"What? You look so disheveled, did you get tricked or something?"

The bandaged monster... No, it was Fuli Mama who gave a sinister laugh, a strange light reflecting off the lenses of her glasses.

"Don't even mention it."

The hamster dressed as a vampire baron waved its hand, looking as if it had a painful past to recall.

"Those two little bastards, Iris and Sal, really went too far. They actually used the fireworks they were using to call for help to set a trap for me. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would be lying there already."

The hamster sighed.

In fact, the designs of the four routes are all similar. As for the combination of the loli and the shota, one is fearless and the other is full of evil and wickedness. It is not surprising that Fuli thought of turning the tables on people.

"You're actually doing well; Sister Feng's situation is even worse."

Fuli sighed and mourned for her colleague.

"What? Who did she bump into?"

The hamster, feeling sorry for itself, straightened its cloak, which had a large hole burned in it by fireworks, and asked curiously.

"She bumped into Yi Yi and Lin Mu. First, she was terrified by the elusive Lin Mu, and then Yi Yi instinctively grabbed her, almost sending her to the hospital. Fortunately, Yi Yi finally came to her senses."

"But in the end, he scraped his knee and was taken back to get it treated."

Fuli sighed. Why were none of the livers from ESC Company any easy to deal with? Actually, he wasn't having an easy time either, but at least Yejun and Xueyue were relatively well-behaved. They just played hide-and-seek with him for a while and didn't try to fight back.

"This is the first time I've ever heard of being a ghost being in mortal danger."

The hamster calmly made a comment.

"I'm starting to admire the staff at those haunted houses now; they really work hard."

Fuli also chimed in with her complaints.

The two chatted idly along the way and gradually walked to the road where Xu Lin and the young lady were.

Well, actually the ghosts do have maps, which is to reduce the difficulty of their game. Otherwise, with Lin Mu's presence, it would be difficult to find him even normally, let alone in this pitch-black forest. Even if the ghosts went to find him the next morning, they might not be able to find him. Fortunately, none of them were planning to play seriously; they were just having fun.

"So, next up is the Sakura-Wakaba duo... Hamster, do you remember what the boss said?"

"Ah, so you're saying that Wakaba has definitely calmed down and is preparing to counterattack, making her the most threatening of all the combinations? But the boss didn't expect that it wasn't just Wakaba preparing to counterattack..."

The two braced themselves, preparing for the possibility of suddenly stumbling upon a trap.

"Speaking of which, Fuli Mama."

"Don't call me Mom!"

Fuli replied to the hamster with annoyance: a vampire calling a bandaged monster "Mommy" was an incredibly bizarre scene.

"No, you didn't notice any strange noises here?"

The hamster took off the fake ears from its head, rubbed the real ears inside, and listened carefully.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that, but I don't remember there being any speakers here, so how could there be sound?"

Fuli also heard it. The strange rustling sound was a bit like the sound of the evening breeze blowing through the leaves, but it was also a bit strange. There seemed to be some melody in it that made him feel somewhat familiar with it.

"Wait... why is the sound getting louder!"

The hamster instantly became alert! This isn't even the really scary part yet, why are there so many unexpected problems? What on earth did that bastard Ruoye prepare for them?!

"The settings here seem to have changed a bit."

Compared to the timid hamster that was just putting on a brave face, the pufferfish was much calmer and even observed its surroundings!

"It seems so. Was this sign placed here before?"

The hamster then belatedly realized that something was wrong.

The two examined the sign carefully for a long time. They knew the sign very well because the words on it were written by the hamster using a twig dipped in ketchup.

"I have a bad feeling..."

Fuli's expression was rather unpleasant.

He found the road increasingly unfamiliar, even though the surrounding horror dolls were similar to what they had set up before. It was precisely this similarity that made them subconsciously overlook that this was not the correct path.

It was as if the sound of the wind was telling them.

You've taken the wrong route!

"!!!"

Why can I hear human voices in the wind?!

Whose voice is that?!

Upon hearing the sound, the hamster jumped three feet high from the ground, his teeth chattering, terrified, and screamed loudly.

"Fuli Fuli Fuli, did you hear that voice?"

"I'm here, what are you yelling about?"

At that moment, the sentence mixed in with the sound of the wind disappeared without a trace, as if it were a final reminder that all kindness had been done, or as if it were a malicious mockery.

The sound of the wind seemed to carry a reminder from the woods.

Should they really continue moving forward?

This bizarre situation is beyond what Xu Lin and his team could possibly handle, isn't it?

Just as Fuli was deep in thought, a terrified scream suddenly came from the far north!

Then came a burst of fireworks rising into the sky.

Judging from the color, that should be Xu Lin's.

"Let's go! Let's rescue them!"

There was no time for Fuli to think. He immediately grabbed the hamster's pale arm and dragged him toward the source of the scream.

three minutes.

Three minutes passed after the two started running.

The eerie sounds started up again, this time playing scary music they had chosen themselves.

But there seemed to be some unclear conversations mixed in with the fireworks. Fuli and the hamster didn't have time to listen carefully, and they ran wildly to the place where the fireworks went off.

empty

In the vast open space, there was only a red dress torn to shreds. Around it, strange and chaotic red was scattered haphazardly on the ground, as if it held up some mysterious text, or perhaps it was a cage.

They drew a circle around themselves and imprisoned them here.

"Wakaba! Xu Ying!"

Fuli and Hamster shouted their debut names, their voices strained and trembling, as if they were infected by the eerie atmosphere.

He was screaming at the top of his lungs, terrified.

where is this?

Fuli suddenly had this question in her mind.

Why did Wakaba and the young lady come here? And why is that red dress here?

One question after another occupied his mind. He thought and recalled frantically, but he had no recollection of such a place in the woods.

He turned around abruptly, and the hamster's pale face, painted with plastic, appeared before him.

"It seems a little too quiet."

The eerie and terrifying background music disappeared again, replaced by the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves.

But now, the fox and hamster no longer feel any peace; instead, they feel only extreme terror.

"Fuli, there seems to be a board over here."

Suddenly, the hamster seemed to have made a discovery.

"Let me see."
