Twenty People, One Extra

Chen Ming started targeting the liberal Bai Zuo he had always disliked again.

Bai Zuo seemed to be lost in thought, staring at his black fingernails as if pondering a problem that was troubling him.

Seeing this, the other players didn't want to blame Bai Zuo. "He only knows a little reasoning; solving puzzles shouldn't be within the scope of reasoning, right?"

"Everyone has their own expertise; perhaps he just isn't good at deciphering codes?"

"If you're so capable, then you solve it!"

Chen Ming's face turned ashen after being rebuked.

In contrast, Bai Zuo who speak pleasantly, are good-looking, and seem like the boy next door.

His blatant nitpicking and argumentative nature obviously won't earn him any favor with others.

Most people are on the side of the Bai Zuo.

A hint of impatience flickered in Bai Zuo's eyes; he was tired of this game.

Without looking up, he said, "The password is 318."

The others were taken aback.

The person holding the treasure chest quickly tried entering the password, and with a click, the treasure chest opened successfully.

"It's open!"

"Hiss, this password is actually correct."

"Wow, that's amazing! How did you figure that out?"

"People's brains are really different. We've been thinking about this for ages and still can't crack the code, but this guy solved it in no time."

Although no one else spoke to Chen Ming.

But Chen Ming still felt a surge of heat on his face.

His anger intensified; this person was definitely doing it on purpose!

She had remained silent until he finally spoke, clearly intending to embarrass him.

What else could this be but a deliberate attack on him?

Chen Ming stared at Bai Zuo, the resentment on his face making him seem even more unlikable.

There was a key inside the treasure chest.

It's a key.

"Looks like it's the key to that door."

"Lilith's room?"

A group of people grabbed the keys and immediately headed to the room.

Bai Zuo yawned, glanced at the group of players without any emotion, and then silently followed without saying a word.

Throughout the entire process, he did not exchange a single word with the Chairman behind him.

Just like he said before, even the happiest moments will quickly become tiresome.

Inside a certain room.

Shanshan hid in a closet.

This is a place specifically designed in the haunted house for players to escape the pursuit of "ghosts".

This can be considered a temporary safe point.

Of course, players can't stay hidden here forever, because each playthrough only has one and a half hours to complete. If that time is exceeded, the game is considered a failure and players cannot enter the next playthrough.

Therefore, a surveillance camera was also installed opposite the hiding box. If a player hides inside for too long, the control room will notify the staff to come.

Inside the control room.

A staff member sat in front of the monitor, intently watching each camera, especially those showing players.

These large-scale escape games are thrilling, but because they are so intense, some visitors may be frightened by the sets and props, and may get lost, bump into things, etc. during the escape.

This requires him to discover the situation immediately and then notify the staff inside to rescue the tourists.

After all, safety should be the top priority for games, especially if something happens to a visitor inside their haunted house.

Even if their haunted house is fun, it will damage their reputation and deter other tourists from visiting.

"Huh?"

He noticed a problem and quickly used his communicator to contact the staff member dressed as a ghost inside.

"Did you bring those two eliminated couples out with you?"

The staff member dressed as a ghost was completely bewildered. "They were brought out, weren't they? I even delivered them to the exit myself, and the discarded gifts were given to them by the staff outside."

Players eliminated during the escape will receive an elimination card, which grants them a 30% discount on their next playthrough ticket purchase, and they also receive a chibi-style ghost plush toy.

Players who complete the game will receive a Lilith -style Lilith doll and a gold card that unlocks the second playthrough. Next time, visitors can use this gold card to purchase a ticket for the second playthrough.

This way, it provides closure for players who have completed the game, while also ensuring that eliminated players have a fair gaming experience.

The haunted house does a great job in this regard, and those who have visited it have given it rave reviews online.

Are you sure you really sent it?

"Really, you can ask Xiaoli if you don't believe me."

The staff in the control room found it strange; the players had just gathered together, and apart from the two eliminated players, there were a total of eighteen people.

Everyone is here.

However, he now sees a lone tourist in another surveillance video.

So, what happened that twenty tourists went in, two came out, and one was left over?

Surely it's not like the tourists from the last event have been hiding ever since, haven't they?

The thought of this possibility, and the potential complaints from tourists, immediately sent a chill down his spine.

"Go check the lockers in room 6. See if any tourists are inside. Ask them if they need help. If they don't want to play anymore, take them out. If they want to continue playing, tell them not to keep hiding in the lockers."

"Room 6, right? How's the search for clues going over there?"

"They've obtained the key to Lilith's room."

"Okay, I'll go through the staff entrance later."

The staff member dressed as a ghost, carrying a chainsaw, sped up, as the main group of tourists had already reached the crucial part of the mystery, and he needed to get there as quickly as possible.

"You should hire more employees next time, otherwise how can I manage on my own?"

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Zhang, and Little Chen all just happened to take the day off, so we're sorry to trouble you today."

Soon, he arrived at room number 6, the room where Shanshan was hiding.

He approached the cabinet where Shanshan was hiding and politely knocked on the door. "Hello, are you in there? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Through the crack in the cabinet door, Shanshan saw the monster outside and the communicator on the staff member's body. After confirming that the other party was alive, she couldn't wait to crawl out of the cabinet.

"Monster! There's a monster in this haunted house!"

Shanshan was so frightened that she clung to a staff member, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The staff thought she was frightened and quickly removed the hood, saying, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's all fake."

But Shanshan didn't seem to listen to him; she kept muttering "monster."

The staff immediately contacted the control room, "There's a player here who's been frightened; the situation isn't good. Should I take her out?"

When the people in the control room saw that the person was so frightened, they were worried that something bad might happen to them, so they quickly told him to bring the person out.
