Shen Heng turned around, somewhat speechless, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, although we're not the scariest haunted house in the world, we're definitely the most terrifying one in Longzhou." The staff member was still trying to persuade them to stay.
Shen Heng ignored him, doubting whether there was another permanent haunted house in Longzhou.
However, Shen Heng stopped after taking only two steps.
His gaze followed the arm that was pulling at his sleeve.
"You want to go?" Shen Heng asked Le Gu Nan.
"Hmm." Le Gu Nan nodded seriously.
"But aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"It's precisely because I'm afraid that I'm thinking about whether I can overcome it. It just so happens that everything here is fake, and since I'm already here, wouldn't it be better to experience everything?"
Le Gu Nan gave several reasons in a row.
Shen Heng paused for a moment, then looked at Le Gu Nan to confirm:
Are you serious?
"Hmm." Le Gu Nan nodded.
Seeing this, Shen Heng stopped trying to persuade him and turned back with Le Gu Nan.
"Hehe, I promise you won't be disappointed." The staff member smiled.
Shen Heng turned his head and glanced at Le Gu Nan, who was taking deep breaths.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say I was disappointed or not.
The two were led to a small room by a staff member.
The staff then left them with a flashlight, pointed to a door opposite the one they had come in through, and then left.
A moment later, the television embedded in the wall suddenly lit up.
Then, a sinister voice echoed in the room.
" Baihe Psychiatric Hospital was once sealed off due to a patient riot, with all doors and windows locked with chains."
"Now, you will enter carrying the only light source, but please remember three things:"
"Don't believe the blood-written words on the wall, don't answer the calls in the darkness, don't let the lights go out..."
Before the words were finished, a sudden gust of wind extinguished the electric candles in the room, plunging the room into darkness.
The next instant, Shen Heng first felt the breathing beside him suddenly become rapid, and then his right arm tightened suddenly.
Following his memory, Shen Heng reached out and picked up the flashlight that the staff had just placed there.
Then.
"Despair!"
Turn on the flashlight.
The room was lit again, though not as brightly as before, but at least the surroundings were visible.
Shen Heng glanced at the hand gripping him tightly, then looked at Le Gu Nan.
It's not too late to regret it now.
"Sorry." Le Gu Nan lowered his hand, then took a light breath and slowly shook his head. "No need, let's continue."
Seeing this, Shen Heng didn't try to persuade him further. He stood up from his seat and walked towards the door the staff member had just pointed to.
Just before opening the door, he turned his head and glanced at Le Gu Nan, who looked nervous.
"If you get too scared later, feel free to keep grabbing."
Le Gu Nan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly nodded.
The two opened the door and went outside.
Outside the door was a narrow passageway.
The moment they stepped inside, they were immediately enveloped by damp, chilly air.
A chilling wind whispered in my ear.
The tip of my nose was filled with the smell of hospital disinfectant.
Shen Heng shone his flashlight and glanced at the unrealistic bloodstains and handprints on the wall.
Without lingering, the two began to explore.
Just as the two were about to walk down the corridor, a cabinet next to them suddenly opened with a bang.
A nurse Distortion in blood crawled out, writhing and groaning inhumanly.
Shen Heng felt his arm tighten.
He didn't turn around, but instead looked at the nurse's lower body.
The nurse had no lower body.
No joke, he really doesn't have a lower body!
"Ah--"
The nurse, whose face was obscured, screamed and crawled toward the two men, her hands pressed against the ground.
Hmm, suddenly I'm starting to look forward to this haunted house... Shen Heng watched with great interest as the nurse crawled over on her hands.
After a moment, Shen Heng withdrew his gaze and looked at Le Gu Nan, whose face had paled slightly.
"Continue?"
Le Gu Nan paused for a moment before replying somewhat stiffly, "Mm."
The two continued forward.
Along the way, bloody handprints covered the walls, sticky entrails suddenly fell in front of the two, and corpses sprang up from the freezer, among other things.
About twenty minutes later.
The two arrived at what appeared to be a laboratory.
On the lab table lay a corpse, next to which were jars containing formalin, in which corpses were soaking.
After the shock of seeing the corpse on the operating table being scrubbed and bleeding, the two continued walking forward.
As they passed by, their eyes unconsciously drifted towards the formaldehyde jars on the side.
The jar contained all sorts of corpses, some looking young, some looking old, and some...
A man with a scar on his face, who was submerged in the water, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them.
Shen Heng heard a sudden pause in breathing beside him, and the arm that was being grabbed was suddenly squeezed tighter.
Le Gu Nan really put in the effort!
Even though I know these are fake, that people are impersonating them.
But Le Gu Nan's emotions were stirred up, and he couldn't help but feel afraid.
She wasn't afraid of those that appeared suddenly, but rather of those disguised as ghosts who had come back to life.
This fear has nothing to do with the power you possess, but depends solely on whether you believe in your heart.
The more you believe, the more easily you'll be frightened.
Of course, this is also because ghosts and spirits are unknown and difficult to verify.
If ghosts and spirits truly exist, then...
It all depends on the balance of power between the two sides.
If ghosts and spirits aren't much stronger than you, then their allure in your mind will quickly dissipate.
If ghosts and gods can easily eliminate you, then those who already believe will only believe even more.
After finishing his work in the lab, Shen Heng continued walking forward.
Le Gu Nan was practically being half-dragged along by him as he walked forward.
After walking down the corridor, the two arrived at the last operating room, whose doors were tightly closed.
A very faint green light shone out through the window in the operating room door.
Shen Heng raised his flashlight and shone it inside.
Inside the room was an operating table, and on the table lay a figure covered with a green surgical drape, lying motionless.
Shen Heng glanced to the side, then turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
After the fright she had experienced along the way, especially what had just happened, Le Gu Nan's face had turned pale, and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.
But she persisted.
She was staring intently at the figure on the operating table, wondering how he was going to scare her.
Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, pushed open the door, and walked inside.
The figure on the operating table didn't stand up to scare them, but...
"Buzz--"
One by one, doctors wearing rotting masks and wielding chainsaws roared as they ran towards the two.
Watching the figure rushing straight towards him, Shen Heng couldn't help but give this haunted house a high rating.
If I hadn't awakened my abilities and hadn't become a martial artist, I'd probably be scared myself, right?
but...
"Flutter..."
A figure rushed into his arms.
