Chapter 0030 – How come there’s one more?

　　Heshan spoke bitterly for half a day, but the several seniors and sisters were indifferent, they all felt that Heshan was deliberately exaggerating the facts as a way to cover up his cowardice.

　　As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and after wandering around the haunted house for a few minutes, they thought that this haunted house was nothing more than that.

　　”Xiaoshan, if you’re scared, hide behind sister.” The woman called Sister Hui took the lead and walked into the room next to her alone, “The setup is pretty much the same, it’s not as interesting as watching the crime scene in the dormitory.”

　　”Then let’s follow the grouping just now.” Monkey chased after Hui on his ass, “Find the door early and get out early, I’m already feeling a bit bored.”

　　Old Song and another quiet girl called Shi Ling also followed, leaving only Heshan, Feng and Old Zhao in the corridor.

　　”To be honest, it’s quite disappointing.” Old Zhao was a fat man with skin paler than the majority of girls, his physical fitness was so poor that his forehead would break out in a weak sweat before he walked a few steps away.

　　”Alright, less talk, let’s set off as well.” With a wave of his hand, Brother Peak took a step forward, with Old Zhao following closely behind.

　　Heshan was soon the only one left in the corridor, he had a bitter feeling that he was the only one still on high alert: “Something will definitely happen if this goes on.”

　　He took two steps forward and suddenly stopped again, “The background music seems to have changed, why is there an inexplicable sense of familiarity.”

　　It was also too late to think about it in detail, a very crisp sound came from his ears again, sporadically, as if it was coming from the road they came from.

　　”Someone is chasing after them?” Heshan didn’t dare to stay any longer and hurriedly caught up with the students.

　　When Black Friday rang out, the Midnight Escape game was considered to have truly begun, the light became even dimmer, the debris on the corridor would roll down on its own from time to time, and on the steps in the distance, the sound made by the collision of chains was slowly approaching.

　　”There’s a discovery!” Hui Sister, who was walking at the front, took out a rag doll from the room, “Look guys, there’s a rag doll sitting in the middle of this room.”

　　”Senior sister, don’t touch anything in the haunted house, we triggered the mechanism last time by touching the coffin.” Heshan was imparting his own experience, but realized that no one was paying attention to him, so he could only silently stand at the outermost part of the room, watching his schoolmates frantically make their deaths.

　　”There’s definitely something wrong with this doll, could it be a symbol by placing it in the middle of the room?” Monkey lifted the head of the rag doll, the doll’s shape looked like a five or six year old girl, except that it had no eyes and its body was blackened by fire: “Invisible should represent darkness, and the body was burned by fire because it went to hell?”

　　”Maybe it foreshadows murder?” Peak pressed the doll’s body, “The stuffing inside is not cotton, it’s a bit hard, open it up and take a look.”

　　Monkey unzipped the zipper behind the rag doll, the doll’s body was stuffed with scraps of paper, pulling out a random one, the handwriting on it was scribbled in a childish manner, and you could tell the writer wasn’t very old.

　　”What’s written?”

　　The only monkey who read the content of the note, his face was not too natural, he placed the note in front of the eyes of several people, there were only five words on it – you all have to die!

　　”Every note seems to have these words written on it.”

　　”What a big grudge.”

　　”Hurry up and throw it away, it’s weirdly unlucky.” Shi Ling, who had rarely spoken, seemed to be extraordinarily intimidated by the doll, and she took one look at it before hurrying outside the crowd.

　　”It’s just a doll, don’t make a fuss you guys, maybe it’s just a decoration for a haunted house.” Monkey shoved the note back into the doll’s body and casually threw it down the hallway, “Let’s go to the next room.”

　　He spoke with a distinct trill, showing that he wasn’t as calm as he appeared.

　　”One moment.” Hoshi raised her left hand, she was grasping a few scraps of paper, “In the room where I found the rag dolls, I also found this, look at it, it should be torn from the journal.”

　　”Let me take a look.” Old Zhao took the pieces of paper and read straight away, “I found the house seemed to be hiding someone, I don’t know if he was hiding under the bed or in the cupboard, I told mom, dad and my sister, they all seemed to be fuming about something and didn’t have time to finish listening to me. It was late at night and dad checked all the doors and windows in the apartment building before he went to bed, I don’t know what they were afraid of, but I do know that it seems like there really is someone hiding in my house ……”

　　”Groove! What the hell?” Old Zhao couldn’t read any more himself and returned the sheets of paper to Xiao Hui, “This is all designed to interfere with us, if you’re serious you’ll lose.”

　　”The details are handled quite well, but unfortunately it doesn’t scare me.” Xiao Hui put the paper back to its original position, and the few people continued to move towards the next room, none of them noticed that the rag doll, which was originally casually thrown on the floor, suddenly flipped around.

　　”Hurry up and find the exit, don’t ink.”

　　After continuously rummaging through four or five rooms with no luck, several people came to the right side of the corridor.

　　”The third floor is huge, we haven’t finished searching yet, but I think the probability of the exit being on the third floor is very small, if I were a haunted house operator, I definitely wouldn’t get the exit and entrance on the same floor.” Peak analyzed it very sensibly.

　　”Want to act in groups?”

　　”Don’t! If they’re not on the same floor, it’s easy to be broken down one by one!” Heshan interjected, but the crowd selectively ignored him.

　　”It’s been ten minutes since we came in, nothing has happened, although the atmosphere of this haunted house is good, it’s not even close to being scary, I think it’s better to act separately.” Old Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, “Don’t forget the purpose of our coming here, only if we find the exit and leave within the stipulated time is it considered to be a dignified way to earn back the lost face!”

　　”Makes sense, then let’s still group according to the original plan.”

　　Just when several people were about to agree, the insufferable Heshan finally stood out, “Will you guys listen to me!”

　　He walked to the middle of several people and pointed to the other side of the corridor, “Since a few minutes ago, I’ve heard the sound of chains in the hallway, and there’s been something following behind us!”

　　Only after being told this by Heshan did a few people react, and listening with their side ears, they could indeed hear the sound of chains getting clearer and clearer.

　　”The haunted house boss said that this scene is called Midnight Escape, since it’s an escape, there will definitely be a killer.” Old Zhao patted Heshan’s shoulder, “Don’t get too deep into the scene, the killers chasing after them must be the haunted house employees pretending to be them, knowing that it’s a human pretending to be them, what’s there to be afraid of? What do you guys say right?”

　　Several people laughed, thinking that it was Heshan who was too sensitive.

　　”Don’t panic, with Senior backing you up, you’re not afraid of anyone.” Old Zhao said and pulled out his cell phone, “Didn’t we agree to record short videos in the haunted house and put them on the haunted house owner’s community page to mock him? I think this place is pretty good. Come on, everyone look at the camera together.”

　　He picked an angle and recorded everyone in it, his eyes swept across the screen, and he was about to open his mouth to speak when an indescribable bone-chilling sensation suddenly rushed up to the top of his head!

　　His fat body trembled, and Old Zhao’s hand shook as he directly threw out his cell phone!

　　”Fatty! Are you fucking crazy?”

　　”What for? Scared me!”

　　Old Zhao didn’t say anything, he swept his gaze over everyone, his teeth chattering, “Look for yourselves, counting me in, how is this eight people!”
