After solving one of the factors that affected his customs clearance, Bai Yan spent a happy weekend.

At noon on Monday, after Bai Yan finished his preparations, he opened the app on time. Taking advantage of the sunshine outside, he clicked on the icon of the fourth level, expecting to be matched with a reliable teammate in this game.

[Match successful]

[3. After exiting the haunted house, click the 'return' button on the phone to leave the game.]

After reading the game information, Bai Yan raised his head and began to survey the surrounding environment.

Now, he is standing in front of a modern shopping mall. There are people coming and going around the shopping mall, and people's laughter is everywhere.

When Bai Yan was looking around, a little fat man who was led by his mother passed by him. The little fat man held a balloon in his hand, his face was flushed, and he laughed carefreely from time to time.

"This mall looks normal, can such a place be haunted?"

Bai Yan muttered something in his heart, he glanced around hastily, and found a young man holding a mobile phone, poking his head like him.

Seeing this, Bai Yan felt that this might be his teammate in this round, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, are you my friend Su Yize?"

"Well, I'm Su Yize, and you are Bai Yan?"

"Yes, it seems that the two of us are teammates in this game."

Su Yize is a man with glasses, he is about the same height as Bai Yan.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, and confirming that both of them are players of the fourth level, Su Yize asked, "It's getting late, the game requires us to buy tickets within half an hour, why don't we go in now?"

"Okay." Bai Yan nodded, and the two entered the mall one by one.

The gate of the shopping mall is a revolving door. After entering the gate, what comes into view is the interior of the shopping mall decorated with red and yellow.

Today, the shopping mall seems to be engaging in activities, and many stores are engaging in promotions. However, the two of them didn't come here to buy things. They felt that these had nothing to do with the game, so they didn't pay much attention. After a quick glance, they went straight to the fourth floor.

Because taking the elevator is prone to accidents, the two avoided the elevator and planned to take the escalator to the fourth floor.

Compared with a closed elevator, there is still a chance to escape if something happens on the escalator. In addition, when looking for escalators, they can also roughly scan the mall. Although the two felt that the focus should be in the haunted house on the fourth floor, they still didn't let go of any place that might hide clues, keeping the sights they saw along the way firmly in their hearts.

Soon, the two reached the fourth floor.

After walking a few steps, they saw a store with a striking signboard of 'Haunted House'.

Seeing this haunted house, the two did not rush in.

They first confirmed that this was really the fourth floor, and then walked around the entire floor to confirm that there was indeed only one haunted house on this floor.

When they turned back to the haunted house, there were two more people in front of the haunted house.

A sticky couple stood in front of the haunted house, and the man said to the woman beside him, "Honey, let's go inside and see, the haunted house is very interesting."

"Go away, I don't play haunted houses, I'm timid, and I'm most afraid of ghosts."

"Let's just try it once. I heard that this haunted house is not scary at all, and people like you won't be afraid to go in."

"No, if you don't go, you just don't go. You won't be afraid to play. If I go in, I will have nightmares at night." The woman rolled her eyes at the man, and she seemed to be very self-aware of her courage: "Let's go, let's go somewhere else and say Well, go shopping with me, of course I come here as I am happy."

The man smiled wryly and was dragged away by the woman who rolled his eyes, looking very helpless.

Looking at the man who was taken away, a trace of envy flashed in Su Yize's eyes. What a girlfriend, this man must not know that he escaped a catastrophe.

According to his experience in the first two games, NPCs like those who are keen to die are the best cannon fodder for players.

He watched the couple go away enviously, and he was still a little uneasy. The couple avoided the minefield, so would there be another NPC on top

Could it be that there are no NPCs who dare to test drugs in this game, and everything has to be done by the players themselves

Bai Yan looked at the couple who were going away, and had the same thought in his heart. Looking at the time, only ten minutes had passed, he felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry.

The two stood outside the haunted house and waited for a predestined person, but before the predestined person arrived, the owner of the haunted house came out.

"Hello, two, are you interested in haunted houses?" The boss rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Let me tell you, my haunted house is super fun and the price is affordable. You will definitely not lose money if you come in."

Both of them were a little bit unwilling to wait for an NPC that could be used for thunderstorms.

But as long as you don't buy a ticket, the countdown won't start, so Bai Yan asked, "What kind of benefit is it?"

"My friend, you are asking the right question. There are activities in the shopping mall today, and our haunted house is also discounted. My family's "Haunted House" adopts the latest design concept, which is a combination of haunted house encryption room escape. Originally experience the escape room alone, or experience it alone Haunted houses require 35 tickets, today only 50 yuan, you can experience two projects at once for only 50 yuan, I'm not kidding, the haunted houses in the whole city are the cheapest in our house, do you want to come in and try?"

Seeing the earnest eyes of the boss, the two of them didn't even want to go in.

Others don't know, but they do know that there are really ghosts in this haunted house.

However, the game required them to go in, and the two of them began to fumble for their pockets, and each of them found a hundred-yuan bill with a unique pattern printed on it, which seemed to be the currency of this world.

"Bai Yan, let's try to buy two tickets?"

Su Yize winked at Bai Yan, and Bai Yan said to the boss, "Let's discuss it, and we'll go find you after we've discussed it."

"Okay, I've been waiting in the store. My haunted house is so exciting. I'll let you play it once and want to play it again."

The boss entered the shop with a smile. The door of the haunted house was opened very small. Through the narrow door, Bai Yan could see a figure dangling in the air inside.

Bai Yan guessed what the figure inside was, this is a routine commonly used in many haunted houses.

Another five minutes passed by, and Su Yize asked Bai Yan, "There are three kinds of tickets for the Haunted House. Should we only play the Haunted House, or do we also play with the Escape Room?"

"Although the game only requires us to play the haunted house, there may be clues hidden in the escape room... and the game gave us a full hundred yuan, it should be because we want us to play both." Bai Yan pondered: "It's a pity that the game has Time is limited, there is a possibility of being trapped in the room and unable to get out when playing the escape room, we will ask the boss in a while, if there is enough time, we'd better even play the escape room together."

Bai Yan's words touched Su Yize's heart, and the two reached an agreement to wait outside the door for another five minutes. If no one came within five minutes, they would go in and buy tickets to the haunted house.

Heaven paid off, and when the five minutes were up, the haunted house finally attracted two more customers.

"Wenwen, I have never been to a haunted house since I was a child. There is one here. If you are free today, why don't you go in with me?" A girl with short hair said weakly.

"Wait a minute, let me read the comments..." Wang Ziwen turned on her mobile phone, searched the haunted house on the Internet, and held up her mobile phone for a while, frowning and said: "Let's say goodbye, Xiaojing, the Internet said that this haunted house is a scam , it’s nothing fun. And the props in this place are fake, and the attitude of the actors is very perfunctory. Except for the sound effect in the haunted house, which can deafen people’s ears, the others are not scary at all. If you want to play a haunted house, let’s go to the one in xx, then The family has a good reputation, and it is said that thieves are interesting."

"Wouldn't it be better not to be scary? In fact, I'm not very timid, and I can't play too scary." Xu Xiaojing took Wang Ziwen's hand and said coquettishly: "Let's go together. Not only have I never played haunted houses, I have never played escape rooms either. However, this haunted house sounds like you can play two at a time. You know, I’m afraid to play alone, so you should be with me, can’t I invite you to play?”

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look to see if it's as bad as it is scolded on the Internet." Wang Ziwen laughed.

So, the girls walked into the haunted house arm in arm. Seeing this, the two men looked at each other and followed in together.

Seeing the four people coming in, the boss laughed from ear to ear, but before he could say anything to sell the tickets, Xu Xiaojing yelled, which startled everyone.

"Ghost! There are ghosts here!"

She pointed at the female ghost hanging from the beam, trembling with fright.

Bai Yan looked up, and the girl was pointing at the shadow he had seen before. The haunted house hangs the puppet on the beam, facing the gate, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to scare every guest who enters the gate.

When entering the door, everyone saw the hanged ghost on the beam, but everyone was just shocked, and they didn't react as much as Xu Xiaojing.

"Hey, I was wrong before, this haunted house is not bad." Wang Ziwen patted his best friend on the back to tell her not to be so scared: "Boss, I didn't see this female ghost in the shop photos, the props are made of it." The one is very delicate, is she newly hung?"

Wang Ziwen looked up at the female ghost, and found that her best friend was not to blame for making a fuss. This female ghost looked extremely charming, her face was pale, and red and black blood appeared from her eyes and mouth.

The female ghost's eyes are very cold, as if no matter where you stand, you can see her staring at you resentfully, no matter where you run, you can't escape her sight.

"The beauty is very discerning. I paid a lot of money to make this female ghost." The young boss said cheerfully, "The escape room and the haunted house are a total of 50 here. How about a package ticket?"
