As soon as Jian Jing finished reading the letter, the monster began to stir. Its huge body twisted, and its vocal organs from nowhere kept growling, as if in anger or intimidation, staring at Cao Yu who was sitting opposite it with a fierce look.
Cold sweat broke out on Cao Yu's head.
He is usually okay at playing chess, but please note that the guests started working yesterday morning and have only rested for two hours from dusk until now.
It was around one in the morning, the time when people are most sleepy. He was already in his forties, and his energy was not as good as before. Playing chess, which consumes brain cells, was particularly strenuous for him.
But Cao Yu knew that he could not admit defeat.
Pure mental work, if he still loses, wouldn't it be a drag on the team? It will also disappoint the fans' expectations of him and his personality will collapse.
hold onto.
He rubbed his temple and looked at the chessboard intently.
The monster's chess playing skills were average, but it kept interfering with actions and sounds, making it impossible for Cao Yu to concentrate on thinking.
Cold sweat dripping.
The onlookers nearby seemed to realize his predicament and exchanged glances secretly.
Zheng Keyan took the lead and said, "Teacher Cao, we have got the things. Let's go."
"I have solved the Sudoku next door." Coco looked at his watch and whispered, "It's almost two o'clock."
Cao Yu nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on Jian Jing. She held the documents in her arms, nimbly avoided the monster's tentacles, and evacuated safely to the door.
"I'll cover you." Jian Jing handed the information to Jiang Baiyan and took back the gun. "Walk slowly, don't rush."
Cao Yu slowly exhaled, as if nothing had happened: "Okay."
The other four people entered the Sudoku room next door one after another. After Cao Yu took a step, he stood up carefully, trying not to make any noise.
The monster's tentacles twisted violently, but it did not try to stop Cao Yu. Instead, it picked up one of the chess pieces, drove straight in, and killed the opposing king.
Cao Yu's eyelids jumped: "Oh no!"
He just made a wrong move and exposed his king!
Snapped.
The king fell, and the outcome was decided.
The monster made a "ho ho" sound and turned to look at Cao Yu.
The bone fragments on the ground made a crunching sound when stepped on.
"Run!" Jian Jing pushed him.
It's funny to say that Cao Yu regarded her as his biggest competitor, and would compete with her whenever he got the chance, setting traps for her without mercy. But at the critical moment, the person he trusted the most was actually her.
If it were Coco and Han Bo, although their performance was also good, he would definitely hesitate for a moment, wondering whether he could be at ease.
But not for Jian Jing.
As soon as she said to run, Cao Yu did it without hesitation.
Gunshots rang out behind me.
The distance was very close, so the shot must have hit the target. But Jian Jing knew that the situation was not optimistic: she was at the door, and the monster was on the sofa, with a distance of at most two or three meters between them.
Although the simulated gun is realistic, it cannot fire continuously and requires continuous pulling of the trigger.
The time it took to fire one shot was enough for the monster to pounce on her.
There was no way to fire a second shot.
Jian Jing chose to duck to avoid him. But because Cao Yu was behind her, she couldn't roll back. With the middle-aged man's agility, it was very likely that they would collide with each other. At that time, the two "enemies" would roll together and die together.
She could only run diagonally forward, jump directly onto the sofa, and then fire a shot with her backhand.
The monster named George should be a boss guarding the level. He has thick skin and strong body, and his physical and magical defenses are quite high. After two shots, he was still jumping around happily, showing no sign of being hit by a critical hit.
The bullets were running out.
A bloody wind is coming.
Jian Jing leaped forward, supported herself on the office table with her hands, flipped behind the table, used the desk as a cover, and at the same time picked up a heavy object on the table with her left hand and smashed it out.
duang! The ornament hit the wall with a heavy, dull sound.
George was unharmed, lying on the sofa, looking at her fiercely.

Barrage 2: Is this actually true? Am I just looking for trouble? Is there really no script
Barrage 3: The stunt doubles are amazing, the script is also great, and the positioning is really strong
Barrage 4: It must have been reshot later! I’m betting on my spicy noodles
Comment 5: Use your brain, will such an outstanding role belong to Teacher Jian
Barrage 6: , Teacher Jian is a writer, has she forgotten her identity

…

Amid the thick barrage of comments, the confrontation continues.
Jian Jing quickly opened all the drawers and finally found the bullet box at the bottom. But the monster didn't give her time to reload the bullets. It jumped up straight like a compressed spring, landed accurately, and jumped onto the desk.
Both sides face to face.
Jian Jing's brain froze for a moment, and her body's instinct took over as she struck back with a palm strike.
The butt of the rifle hit George hard in the face.
The tentacles spread out, revealing a realistic black face: "no—" he uttered a vague human voice.
If this was a real monster, Jian Jing would definitely put a gun in its mouth while it was in a trance to end it all. But it was a fake one, and if she really put the gun in, such a sophisticated robot might be scrapped.
Uh, I have to pay for it.
Jian Jing turned around and ran away.
This time, she successfully bypassed the desk, and when she saw the exit was just around the corner, something unexpected happened.
The red light went out and the green light came on.
The monsters woke up again and walked out of the rooms on both sides of the corridor, wandering like ghosts. As soon as Jian Jing stepped out of the door of this office, she was stared at by three or four monsters.
she:"… "
There are small monsters in front and a boss behind. What should I do
--
After the broadcast.
The later stages of haunted houses are always very naughty, and this time is no exception.
After Jian Jing encountered two groups of monsters in the corridor, red and blue health bars appeared above everyone's heads, accompanied by the King of Fighters BGM.
Barrage 1: Good skin in the later stage
Barrage 2: It feels like that
Barrage 3: Kite them!
Barrage 4: 6666666666
Everyone thought that a fight was about to break out, but Jian Jing's reaction was unexpected.
She returned to the office, jumped onto the back of the sofa, removed the ventilation net above the wall, then grabbed the lower edge of the passage and jumped.
Didn't jump on...
Barrage 1: Just like me when I’m rock climbing
Barrage 2: This requires a lot of finger strength, Mr. Jian is too confident
Barrage 3: Actually, he is still short. If it were our brother, he would definitely be able to climb up.
Comment 4: Are you sure your younger brother will cry first to show his respect
He missed the first jump, and before he could jump up the second time, George had already pounced on him.
The man was tall and strong, and his weight was not to be underestimated. The chess pieces piled on the sofa were almost like a small mountain. Jian Jing hastily dodged, but the corner of her coat was caught by the tentacles, and she was thrown out of her hand, falling directly onto the coffee table, sweeping away a group of chess pieces.
Barrage 1: Damn, it hurts just looking at it
Barrage 2: This is a heavy fall
Barrage 3: It’s over, it’s over, no one is coming to rescue
Barrage 4: The others were blocked by the monsters! Teacher Jian should have come back just now. Her teammates lured the monsters away and she was safe. What a big mistake!
Barrage 5: Who can analyze so much at the critical moment
Barrage 6: Do Teacher Jian’s fans not allow others to question him
…
When the fight started, the situation changed again.
Jian Jing fell onto the coffee table. The next moment, she bounced up with her waist, kicked directly on George's back, and used the force to climb to the vent.
I put my knees on the edge and climbed up smoothly.
The monster had a suction cup-like organ on its body, and it swam like a gecko and climbed up the wall. However, George, the boss monster, was different in size and was extremely huge.
was... stuck at the door.
Jian Jing was quick and small in stature, so she climbed on her knees. After a while, she shook off the monster that was following her and turned into a fork in the road.
The scene switches to the next room.
--
The remaining people were blocked in the house by monsters.
Han Bo originally wanted to force his way out, but as soon as he got out, his gun ran out of bullets, and he had no way of dealing with the monsters that kept popping up. Everyone was very anxious, and although the game would not put their lives in danger, it was not in line with the team spirit to let teammates go.
No one gave up, and everyone discussed solutions.
Han Bo and Coco both agreed to use the chair as a shield, but Cao Yu was searching the room, trying to find other weapons to subdue the monster.
"There seems to be a sound coming from the vent." Jiang Baiyan moved a chair and climbed up, "Teacher Jingjing?"
"It's me." Jian Jing poked her head out, "Make way."
He reached out and helped her down, very shocked: "Are you okay?!"
"I fell down." Jian Jing said lightly, "Who is this person?"
She was asking about the NPC who was obviously dead in the corner, a male in his twenties, wearing sportswear, with a backpack next to him, a big hole on his temple, blood scabs on his hair, and a gun at hand, looking like he was committing suicide.
Cao Yu replied: "It should be the Henry we are looking for."
Background: Henry, a man, is currently missing and was last seen in this abandoned old hospital. They came to this strange place just to find their friend Henry.
"I almost forgot about him." Han Bo scratched his head and expressed everyone's thoughts.
Jian Jing checked carefully, but the chase just now had consumed a lot of her energy. Now she sat in the chair listlessly, not wanting to move.
Feeling sleepy, she couldn't help but yawn.
After the intense exercise, the sweat evaporated and the body inevitably felt cold, so it shivered slightly.
"If you mind," Jiang Baiyan handed over his coat, "Put it on."
By the third episode, the guests had already understood the nature of the haunted house. Even if it was summer, it was best to wear a coat to avoid shivering in the hot summer when the air conditioner was set to 16 degrees.
Jiang Baiyan's private clothes are very refreshing, jeans + white T-shirt + shirt jacket.
"Thank you." Jian Jing was familiar with him, so she didn't refuse and took it and put it on.
Zheng Keyan took out some mineral water and biscuits from Henry's backpack, opened them and shared them with everyone: "Eat something, everyone. I'm starving."
"I'm so sleepy." Coco rubbed her eyes and couldn't help but yawn.
Now, everyone else also yawned one after another, and no one could resist the invasion of yawns.
They are all trapped like dogs.
After all, Cao Yu was old and in the worst spirits, so he suggested, “Let’s block the door and vents and have a good rest.”
No one objects.
After everyone blocked the doors and vents to ensure that no monsters could come in, they looked for places to sit down and rest.
Zheng Keyan and Coco continued to rummage through Henry's backpack and found two boxes of self-heating hot pot, three bottles of drinking water, a pack of chocolate biscuits, and several bags of spicy strips.
So everyone just sat on the ground and cooked a small hot pot.
The spicy taste was very refreshing. Jian Jing took a biscuit and searched the NPC's body, finding a lot of things.
First, there were two letters. One letter was exactly the same as the one found in the office next door. It was written with a lot of professional medical terms. The general meaning was that the doctor asked his friends to help him see if he had encountered certain cases.
The second letter was written from a father to his son.
“To my son Henry… (omitted many words of encouragement from the father to his son), my good friend Dr. Lee once sent me a letter. Those cases concerned me a lot, but when I wanted to contact him, I heard that he was missing. I felt very sorry for this.
"If my body allows, I really want to go to the hospital where he worked and find out what happened... (medical explanation omitted)... Unfortunately, I don't have much time left. If you are interested, maybe I can go there and take a look. I have a feeling that it will be a huge secret..."
This ties the story line together.
Dr. Li joined the X Club to investigate the problems in the chemical plant and sent the strange cases to his friend. Before his friend died, he mentioned the incident to his son Henry. Henry came to find out for some reason and then died here.
And because of Henry's disappearance, they came to the hospital to find the answer to the mystery.
