Speedrun!

As the obese girl stood up, Wang Ge and Chen Yanxi had already moved towards the window. They were standing beside it when they heard Zhou Liu say the front door was also blocked. Wang Ge immediately made up his mind and climbed out the window using a stool and a table.

Chen Yanxi wasn't as quick. Her movements were a bit clumsy, and after fumbling for a while, she finally got both legs out the window. Wang Ge reached out and pulled her down.

Holding her soft, warm body in his arms, Wang Ge's mind became a little flustered, and his body stiffened.

Fortunately, he wasn't needed much after that. Zhou Liu and Huang Wenyan climbed out the window with ease. Although Chen Man'an and Yang Songyue were a bit slower, they had the help of the two boys, and the obese girl was moving very slowly. They all escaped without any real danger.

After they calmed down, Chen Man'an, with a rosy face, couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, that was exciting."

Although Zhou Liu and Yang Songyue's faces were pale, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Wang Ge, having been warned by Chen Yanxi beforehand, didn't feel much. He just felt his body was too unreliable and he needed to find an opportunity to train.

Chen Yanxi, on the other hand, remained calm from beginning to end. Her beautiful eyes were like a still, silent pool, without a ripple.

Only Huang Wenyan, the unlucky one, had his legs so scared that they went soft. He had to be supported by Yang Songyue to walk, otherwise, he couldn't stand steadily.

"Little Huang Wen, you're already giving up?" Zhou Liu mocked mercilessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just a little tired," Huang Wenyan retorted stubbornly.

"Tsk tsk, 'just a little tired,' I almost believed you."

As the two bickered, they walked forward. Wang Ge, holding Chen Yanxi's small hand, asked her curiously, "How did you know the classroom door would be locked?"

"It's simple logic," Chen Yanxi explained. "That obese girl is a hollow puppet, and the staff is hiding inside. It would be very inconvenient to move. For a 'ghost' moving that slowly, the only way to create a sense of pressure is to create a confined space."

Hearing this, Wang Ge couldn't help but click his tongue. "To think of so much in such a short time, are you a monster?"

"My focus is different from yours. We can't generalize," Chen Yanxi shook her head. "You were focused on experiencing the game, immersed in the thrilling experience of the haunted house, so it's normal that you didn't notice these things. I, on the other hand, couldn't immerse myself at all. These setups didn't scare me, and I was so bored that I could only try to figure out the design logic of this haunted house to find some fun. Once I understand the underlying logic, it's easy to see through it."

Wang Ge didn't know what to say, finding it unbelievable that Chen Yanxi found the design that scared Huang Wenyan to the point of weak legs so boring. --Although he also felt this haunted house wasn't scary at all.

"Since you find it boring, let's finish it quickly," Wang Ge said with a smile.

"You're not slacking off anymore?" Chen Yanxi glanced at him. This guy had been hiding behind everyone since they entered the haunted house, basically not contributing, and other than taking advantage of her, he hadn't done anything else. He had been slacking off the whole time.

"Haha," Wang Ge chuckled, shrugging. "I was thinking, since it's your first time in a haunted house, you'd get a greater sense of accomplishment if you could clear it with your own abilities, so I was slacking off and giving you the spotlight."

Then, he sighed again. "I miscalculated. I should have known, someone as cold and seemingly heartless as you isn't suited for haunted houses at all."

"...Calling me that is quite rude, classmate Wang Ge," Chen Yanxi said. "At least I'm interested in guessing how the haunted house will be designed."

"What kind of good person comes to a haunted house to guess how it's designed?" Wang Ge grumbled.

Chen Yanxi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Come on, let me show you a speedrun," Wang Ge's lips curved slightly.

"Won't that ruin your friends' game experience?" Chen Yanxi asked.

"Compared to that, your experience is more important," Wang Ge said, pushing his way to the front of the group. "Move aside, move aside. You guys are too slow. Let me take over the battlefield now."

Zhou Liu and Huang Wenyan, who were bickering earlier, exchanged a look and saw the ominousness in each other's eyes. Why hadn't they mocked Wang Ge when they were just exchanging insults? Because they both knew they couldn't mock Wang Ge in that regard.

Wang Ge, when not slacking off, displayed a psychological fortitude even more terrifying than Chen Yanxi's. Faced with the bizarre occurrences, Zhou Liu and the others were screaming in fear, but Wang Ge calmly dealt with them, grabbed the mission items, and left cleanly.

Initially, Chen Yanxi had been considerate of Zhou Liu and the others' game experience and hadn't warned Wang Ge about potential ghosts. However, seeing that Zhou Liu and the others didn't seem to care much, she joined the speedrun team: "Window ahead, be careful." "This path is too narrow, there's likely something at the end." "Staff might come out to block us later, let's take this path..."

With Chen Yanxi's warnings, Wang Ge's current actions could best be described as a charge. The haunted house's obstacles couldn't even last a minute before he broke through them, obtaining all the game items. The other four could only watch, wide-eyed, as the couple operated.

When Wang Ge obtained the key to the school's basement, Chen Man'an finally couldn't help but speak, "Should I say birds of a feather flock together? How can these two be so perverted?"

"Sigh, I knew it. Once Wang Ge gets serious, we have no game experience," Zhou Liu sighed.

"More than that. Before, it was just Wang Ge ruining our game experience. Now he has a prophet next to him. How are we supposed to play?" Huang Wenyan wailed.

"I suddenly have a bad feeling about the script murder mystery game this afternoon," Yang Songyue said abruptly.

Chen Man'an: "..."

Zhou Liu: "..."

Huang Wenyan: "..."

"Damn it, we absolutely cannot let those two cooperate this afternoon in the script murder mystery game!" Zhou Liu said hatefully.

His words were immediately met with agreement from the other three.

Soon, the haunted house reached its final stage, and the group headed to the basement.

The underground passage was entirely blood-red and very dark, allowing them to see only a few meters around. The background music also turned eerie, and the terrifying atmosphere immediately intensified.

Wang Ge walked at the very front and quickly found the door corresponding to the final key.

"Be prepared, there should be something," Chen Yanxi warned.

Wang Ge nodded, took out the key, and opened the door.

The first thing that greeted their eyes were rows of headless corpses, hung up like clothes.

The heads of the corpses were placed on a shelf beside them, their faces turned towards the door.

As Wang Ge turned his head, he met the gaze of these heads.

Being stared at by these heads in unison, Zhou Liu and the others, who were curiously peeking inside from behind, felt a sudden wave of revulsion.

And at the very back of the basement, a disheveled woman was eating something, her mouth covered in blood.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she slowly raised her head, looked towards the group at the entrance, and a ferocious smile spread across her wrinkled, blood-red face.

Her terrifying appearance stunned Zhou Liu and the others.

"Run!"

Wang Ge roared, and the group immediately snapped back to reality. Shouting things like "Holy crap" and "So scary," they turned and fled.

"Holy crap, this ghost is running so fast!"

While fleeing, Zhou Liu glanced back and saw that the ghost was almost upon them, scaring him half to death.

"Run outside the teaching building! According to the setting, she can't leave the building!" Wang Ge immediately shouted as a reminder.

So, they all hurried to run outside the building.

Not long after, the group finally escaped outside the teaching building, panting for breath.

"Phew, we're safe." Yang Songyue looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the disheveled female ghost hadn't chased them.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Zhou Liu suddenly spoke with a strange expression, "Where's Wang Ge? Why is Wang Ge missing?"

Chen Yanxi immediately frowned, scanned their surroundings, and after confirming Wang Ge wasn't there, turned around and ran back without hesitation.

Seeing Chen Yanxi's reaction, the four behind her exchanged knowing glances, a smile of understanding appearing on their faces, and they slowly followed.
