Hearing the scream, Wang Ge looked up in shock, "What's going on?"
Chen Yanxi calmly shook her head, "I don't know, maybe some tourist got scared."
"Are there any other tourists besides us?" Wang Ge asked.
"I don't know, maybe," Chen Yanxi replied.
"Alright, then did you find anything?"
"No."
"Then it seems this room doesn't have any clues either." Wang Ge walked towards her, "Let's go, we'll check the next one."
"Okay."
Perhaps because the staff responsible for scaring people on the first floor had been scared away by Chen Yanxi, the subsequent thrilling events they encountered were all minor props.
For example, an arm suddenly falling from the ceiling, or a leg hidden in a drawer. This level of scare couldn't frighten them at all, so the two smoothly found the key to the second floor in an office.
"This haunted house isn't very interesting, not stimulating at all."
As they walked upstairs, Wang Ge said listlessly.
"Maybe the path we chose isn't very scary," Chen Yanxi said.
"I hope so."
Wang Ge shrugged, noncommittal.
The two arrived on the second floor and didn't rush to open the door, instead quietly waiting to reunite with Zhou Liu, Huang Wenyan, and the others.
Soon, both couples returned one after another. Huang Wenyan and Yang Songyue were pale and clung tightly to each other, clearly terrified.
Zhou Liu was similar to them, also pale with slightly unsteady steps, but Chen Man'an was different. There was an unhealthy flush on her face, and her eyes held a hint of excitement and anticipation.
It seemed she was having a lot of fun.
"Why are you guys so scared? Is it that scary?" Wang Ge asked in confusion.
"I can only say, it's terrifying," Huang Wenyan, his face pale, gave a thumbs up. "This haunted house is much scarier than the ones we played before!"
"Exactly, exactly."
This statement was unanimously agreed upon by the other three.
Only Wang Ge had a look of utter confusion.
Is it that scary? It shouldn't be, could it be that only Chen Yanxi and I chose a better path?
Regarding this, Chen Yanxi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Hurry up and open the door, I can't wait to see what other exciting things are next," Chen Man'an urged.
"Okay."
Wang Ge took out the key and opened the door to the second floor.
The second floor was different from the first. The first floor had things like storage rooms and equipment rooms, while the second floor only had classrooms for students and teachers' offices.
There was also a restroom.
The six entered one after another. Wang Ge and Chen Yanxi were still at the back, but this time Chen Man'an took the lead.
The group checked the classrooms one by one, searching for useful clues.
"Hey, there seems to be someone here!"
Hearing Chen Man'an's shout, they quickly gathered around.
In classroom 304, a plump figure in a school uniform sat in the last row. Long black hair hung down, obscuring her face, making it impossible to see what she looked like.
"Is this a ghost? Or an NPC?" Zhou Liu asked curiously.
"I don't know, let's go see and find out."
Chen Man'an led the way, entering the classroom from the back door, with the others following behind her.
Chen Yanxi, the last one to enter, suddenly paused, glancing around thoughtfully.
But after hesitating, she did nothing, as if she hadn't discovered anything, and walked into the classroom.
Perhaps she felt that ruining the game experience for strangers was impolite.
At this moment, Chen Man'an, who had entered first, had already begun to test the plump girl:
"Hello?"
"Are you okay?"
"Are you still alive?"
The plump girl was lifeless, showing no reaction at all.
Zhou Liu and the other two behind her also tried to interact:
Zhou Liu: "Hello?"
Huang Wenyan: "Kou ni ji wa?"
Yang Songyue: "Sawasdee ka?"
It was Wang Ge's turn. He was silent for two seconds before saying, "Suka buli."
Unfortunately, even with the profanity, the obese girl remained completely unresponsive.
The group exchanged glances and decided to go closer to check.
Chen Man'an took the lead again. She slowly approached and gently poked the obese girl's body, "Hello?"
No reaction.
"Maybe it's just a prop?" Huang Wenyan guessed.
"Even if it's a prop, it wouldn't just appear out of nowhere. There must be some clue," Chen Man'an stated confidently.
"An'an is right!"
Wang Ge didn't join their discussion. He simply held Chen Yanxi's small hand and yawned lazily.
He really didn't find this haunted house scary at all.
But Chen Yanxi suddenly tugged on him.
Wang Ge looked at her with confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yanxi pointed to the classroom window and the stool and desk placed beneath it, "Wait a moment, we'll run from there first."
"Run?" Wang Ge became a little interested, "You think we need to escape from here?"
"I'm guessing," Chen Yanxi said, "Better safe than sorry."
"Okay," Wang Ge nodded with a smile, "I'll listen to you."
At this moment, Zhou Liu and the others in front had already let down their guard. Chen Man'an was even searching the obese girl's pockets.
Huang Wenyan stared at the obese girl's head, suddenly curious about what the prop's face looked like.
So he reached out and pushed aside her long, black hair, revealing the obese girl's face.
She had a very ordinary appearance, except that fleshy growths like tumors grew on both sides of her cheeks. Her eyes were hollow, and her mouth was stretched into an exaggerated, incredibly eerie smile.
"Holy crap..."
Huang Wenyan was startled, a chill running down his spine. He quickly reached out again to push the hair back, wanting to cover the terrifying face again.
But he seemed to have used too much force. The obese girl's head made a crack sound and fell to the ground. It rolled a couple of times and ended up at Huang Wenyan's feet.
Her face was facing upward, her hollow eyes staring at Huang Wenyan, as if blaming him for knocking her head off.
"Holy crap, Xiao Huang Wen, what are you doing!" Zhou Liu exclaimed, startled by the sudden falling head.
"Cough, it's nothing, too much force, too much force, haha--"
Huang Wenyan bent down to pick up the obese girl's head, about to reattach it. But her hollow neck suddenly split open, and another head abruptly emerged from within!
"Holy crap!!!"
The group's attention had been focused on the fallen head, so they were all startled by the suddenly emerging head, even Wang Ge.
Only Chen Yanxi gently adjusted her large-framed glasses, as if she had expected this.
The newly emerged head was thin and small, looking extremely disproportionate to the girl's large body, as if a stranger's head had been grafted on. It was incredibly horrifying.
But then, the girl's large body slowly stood up. The eyes on the small head stared intently at Huang Wenyan, who was still holding her previous head.
"My head..."
Accompanied by terrifying BGM, the girl's horrifying voice rang out.
The group's scalps tingled. Huang Wenyan directly threw the obese girl's original head back and turned to run.
But when they turned around, they discovered that the classroom's back door had been silently closed at some point!
Huang Wenyan pressed himself against the door, twisted the handle a few times, and shouted in despair, "It won't open, what do we do?"
"Go to the front door!"
Chen Man'an made a decisive call and led the group towards the front door.
"Damn it, the front door is also closed!" Zhou Liu yelled in frustration.
Wang Ge looked back at Chen Yanxi in surprise. The girl's gaze was calm, as if she had foreseen all of this.
"The window is open, let's go through the window!"
