Chapter 1118 – Speechless Town
”Haunted?” Several haunted house designers all looked at Zuo Han, and Mr. Wang also frowned, he really couldn’t imagine that he could hear such words from Zuo Han’s mouth.
”There are some things that don’t have an answer, or rather I can’t find an answer with my knowledge, only with ghosts and monsters can it be explained.” Zuo Han spoke in a very serious tone, the Plutonic Fetus Scene was open for the first time, and according to past experience, the difficulty of the first open scene was the highest, and Zuo Han was scared, that’s why he gave out the guesses buried in his heart.
He wanted to find the truth, but relying on these few melon skinned teammates was simply impossible to find the truth, and even staying alive was a big problem.
”Pulling ghosts and monsters before even going in?” The sunglasses man, Fu Bole, directly laughed out loud, “Little brother, what you said at the beginning was quite reasonable, and you almost bluffed me. It’s a pity that you were too hasty, when you said the word haunted, you already exposed yourself as a haunted house actor. Let me give you a word of advice, old brother, if you want to go too fast, you can’t go too fast.”
In such an eerie environment, when Zuo Han said that the haunted house was really haunted, everyone’s heart was shocked, but when they heard Fu Bole’s analysis, they all slowly calmed down.
How could there be any ghosts in the world? Those who could say that inside a haunted house had a high probability of being the people arranged by the haunted house itself.
Several haunted house designers showed a look of realization, and Ma Feng also looked at Zuo Han a few more times.
For someone who had never believed in the existence of ghosts and monsters, telling him that the haunted house was haunted would definitely make him think that it was a prank.
”As soon as you came up, you first said that haunted house actors existed among us, then you said a lot of precautions, and finally you set a scary atmosphere. To be reasonable, you are still quite competent as a haunted house employee.” The stylishly dressed Wei Chaochao also opened her mouth.
Several haunted house designers spoke to each other, and the more they spoke, the more they were convinced that Zuo Han was a haunted house employee, and they also cited many examples, causing Xiao Sun to begin to waver, doubting whether Zuo Han was sent by his boss to receive him.
”I know that you are all very capable, that’s why I want to work with you, but unfortunately arrogance and jealousy have covered your eyes, you can only see the illusion you created now, and are not willing to think about the facts.” Zuo Han shook his head and said towards Heshan and Teacher Wang next to him, “We can’t count on anyone else this time, the three of us must not be separated.”
Heshan and Teacher Wang both knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded.
Seeing the serious and earnest look of the three visitors from the Hanjiang School of Forensic Medicine, Fu Bole laughed again, “You can still act hard even after you’ve been dismantled, aren’t you guys embarrassed?”
”This haunted house can think of such a way to set the atmosphere and introduce the precautions is also quite novel, it is worthwhile for us to learn.” Big Fatty Liang Er waved his hand towards Fu Bole, “Prepare to enter the scene, I’m now very much looking forward to the scare points inside.”
Although each of them had their own ghosts, these fifteen people still gathered together, and they formally entered the middle of the Underworld Fetus Scene along the dilapidated street.
The black iron gates behind them grew farther and farther away, and after turning a corner, the first fork in the road appeared in front of them.
A faint odor wafted through the air, and shadows of varying heights swayed in the corners, as if someone was crouching in the corner silently watching them.
”Which road to choose?”
Fu Bole turned back to ask for Ma Feng’s opinion, while Ma Feng looked at Shangguan Light Hong.
”We can’t see anything just by looking at it like this, so why don’t we just pick a random one, let’s mark it well and change the route anytime we run into trouble.” After Shangguan Qinghong finished speaking, he and Ma Feng headed to the left one together.
”Wait!” Zuo Han wanted to say something, but those people didn’t give him a chance and directly entered the left passage.
The old street lamps on the street corners flickered and dimmed, reflecting the odd humanoid patterns on the walls, and whispers came from the buildings on both sides from time to time, and one could vaguely hear people talking.
They were hiding from something, and seemed to be searching for something, and words such as limbs and unkillable dolls could occasionally be heard.
”Our mission is to find the ragdoll remnants, the haunted house owner only gave us a picture but didn’t say how many parts the ragdolls were divided into, I don’t think we can let go of any of the buildings.” Wei Chaochao stopped and pressed his body against the door of a dilapidated bungalow next to him, “There’s someone talking in here, there should be a scare point hidden behind the door.”
”I advise you better not just open the door, it’s better to do more than one thing in this haunted house.” Heshan spoke up to remind him, but the haunted house designers had already defaulted to him being a haunted house actor and didn’t bother with him at all.
”If you design a haunted house normally, the first scare point is very important, and you can tell the style of the haunted house from that one scare point.” Wei Chaochao grabbed the door handle and said with some anticipation, “Are you guys ready?”
Those haunted house designers had all sorts of disparaging remarks about Chen Ge’s haunted house on their lips, but when it really came to triggering the scare point, they all became careful one by one.
”Open the door, I want to see how scary the haunted house with over ninety percent favorable reviews on the internet is.” Fu Bole stood at the front, with an appearance of having seen it all.
Zuo Han, who had previously objected, was now silent as well, his gaze coldly gazing at Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole as if he was looking at the corpse of a victim waiting to be dissected.
He wanted to cooperate with those haunted house designers, but they were unwilling, so he now changed his mind and was ready to let those haunted house designers go through the thunder.
In any case, they are going to “die”, it is better to “die” a little more valuable, Zuo Han’s idea is so simple.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes moving with Wei Chaochao’s arm.
Five fingers gripped the door handle, Wei Chaochao violently pulled the door open a quarter of the way, and then he directly stopped, using his body to block the door that was not completely open.
”Dang!” The haunted house actor, who was hiding inside the house, saw the door open and immediately wanted to come out to scare people as rehearsed, but he didn’t expect the visitor outside the door to only open the door a quarter of the way, and even more so, he didn’t expect that tourist to intentionally block the door of the room with force so that the door couldn’t be fully opened.
Caught off guard, the haunted house actor inside the room slammed right into the door.
That haunted house actor didn’t expect anything like this to happen at all, and he sat down directly on the floor after hitting his head on the door panel.
”That’s it?”
The haunted house designers looked at the actor who sat down in the middle of the room’s door, and their hanging hearts dropped back into their stomachs as each one of them revealed an expression of disdain.
”Cheesy to the point of not being able to be cheesy scare tactics, the business is very rusty, doesn’t know how to change, and the ability to adapt to the scene is extremely poor.” Wei Chaochao completely opened the door to the room and casually commented, “I can give eight point five points for the haunted house scene arrangement, I can only give three points for the actors.”
”Laughing to death, how can you pretend to be a ghost and scare tourists like this? Are you here to be funny?”
”You all saw it, right? I’m sure you’re all aware of the standard of this haunted house now, and those favorable reviews on the internet are definitely the owner’s own hired mercenaries.”
These haunted house designers spoke very nonchalantly, a group of them surrounded that one actor and counted endlessly.
Fortunately, that actor’s mental quality was very strong, he rubbed his red forehead, organized his single ponytail, and climbed up from the ground.
He had just been counted out and made a fool of himself, but he didn’t care at all, as if everything had never happened.
He raised his head, revealing his mortified face.
”You guys better be quiet, talking in a speechless town will be heard by ghosts.” The actor’s expression was very} human, and it looked like he had practiced many times in the mirror.
”If they’re all ghosts like you, what’s the point of being heard?” Fu Bole shrugged his shoulders, “In vain I was looking forward to it just now, what the hell? Nothing new at all.”
”I’m not a ghost, I’m human like you guys, but there really are ghosts in this town.” The actor wasn’t lying, he was telling the truth with a clear conscience.
”Not forgetting to say your lines even after your head is swollen from knocking, quite dedicated, I’m raising your rating to three point five.” Wei Chaochao patted the ash on his arm.
”Everything I said is true, my child and I were trapped here after dark, we were forced to play a game of hide and seek with the ghosts, once they caught us, the consequences would be unimaginable!” The actor’s expression was on point, but the few haunted house designers were constantly blowing off steam.
”This is the background of the story? The four-star scene doesn’t look like much more than that.”
Those few haunted house designers were still mocking, Zuo Han and Heshan had already walked over, the two of them were staring at the male actor with a very serious expression, “Did you just say that talking in this town would be heard by ghosts?”
”En, this town is called the speechless town, as long as you make a sound you will be noticed by ghosts.” The actor was dutifully explaining.
”What happens when you get caught by a ghost? I see you’re the only one here, where’s your child? Could it be that he has already been captured by the ghost?” Zuo Han was a quick thinker, it was rare that he met a haunted house actor that he could communicate with, he wanted to get more information.
”My child and I were being chased by ghosts at the time, I took the initiative to distract the ghosts and left him alone in a utility room on the north side of town.” The actor lowered his voice, “If you can bring my child here, I will tell you a secret about this world.”
”A hidden mission?” Zuo Han nodded, “I will help you get your child back, by the way, what is your name? Can you give us some token, we have to prove to your child that we have accepted your commission.”
The male actor froze for a moment, there was none of this in the script, but he was also very good at improvising, “My name is Wu Jinpeng, after you guys find my child, you only need to say this name.”
”Then what does your child look like? I’m worried that the ghost found your child one step ahead of time, and then we took the ghost as your child.” Zuo Han considered all sorts of scenarios.
”He is very short, wearing a red tunic, and he is called …… Wu Nan.”
”You just wanted to say something, is there something else you haven’t told us?” Teacher Wang also came over, and their teacher and student cooperation brought a lot of pressure on Wu Jinpeng.
”The children here love to play hide-and-seek, in fact, from the moment you entered the town, you have been forced into the game of hide-and-seek.” Wu Jinpeng grabbed the door handle, “You guys remember, you must be careful of ghosts and look for more places to hide!”
Having said what needed to be said, Wu Jinpeng closed the door and reentered the room.
”Is the theme of the Underworld Fetus Scene just hide-and-seek? He just said that the children here love to play hide and seek, which means that there are a lot of children here, and the name of the scene is called Underworld Fetus, so it’s obvious that all the horrors have something to do with children.” Zuo Han looked at the door of the room that had been closed, “It’s best for us not to touch this mission of his because his children are also children.”
”En, when he was describing his child, he thought for a long time and there were some pauses in between, I suspect that the child he described was not his child at all.” Teacher Wang said casually, “The name Wu Nan is probably made up, analyzing it from the most malicious perspective, that man in the house is in league with the ghosts, working for the tigers, he is trying to feed us to the ghosts.”
Teacher Wang and Zuo Han shared the same view, the two of them were analyzing in a serious manner and did not avoid the other tourists.
Hearing the voices of their discussion, Fu Bole was more certain of his guess, these three so-called people from the Hanjiang Academy of Forensic Medicine should be the actors planted in the haunted house, and they had been actively cooperating with the haunted house actors in their performances.
”Act, let’s see how long you guys can act.” Fu Bole suddenly opened his mouth, he smiled disdainfully, scaring Sun Xiaojun next to him.
”The strength of this haunted house was clear to us just now, next let’s just line up room by room, don’t have any worries.” Wei Chaochao’s expression was a bit disappointed, he was still curious about Chen Ge’s haunted house at the beginning, but now he found that all those scare tactics were very general, and there was not much difference with the haunted houses on the market, “Everyone speed up to pass the customs, I’ll catch the plane in the afternoon.”
Speechless Town was very big, those haunted house designers pushed open three doors in a row and still didn’t find anything, they gradually relaxed.
”What’s the point of this haunted house? All empty rooms? There are neither scare props nor actors set up inside, it’s as if the scene hasn’t been perfected yet.” Liang San also started to complain, he felt that it was not worth it for him to specially come to Hanjiang to play this haunted house.
A few people were paying less and less attention to their surroundings, on the contrary, Zuo Han and Heshan were highly nervous: “You can hear someone talking in every room, but you can’t see anyone after opening the door, it’s a bit strange.”
”That talking sound doesn’t sound like a machine playing out, it’s more like someone is talking against our ears.”
”Forget about this place for now, stay close to them and let them scout ahead.” Zuo Han had just finished saying these words when Wei Chaochao’s voice came from the front of the group.
”Huh? I found something interesting!”
In front of Wei Chaochao was the entrance to a unit building, and on the wall next to it was a missing person notice that the lost child was called Jiang Ming.
The entrance to the building was right in front of them, the steps were downward, and because the light was so dim, they couldn’t even see how many more floors there were underground when they stood outside the building.
”The interior space is so big ah? I thought there was only one floor …… “The bad feeling in Shangguan Light Hong’s heart grew stronger and stronger as he followed closely behind Ma Feng.
”Go in and take a look.” Liang San opened the iron door of the unit building, he just entered the building and didn’t feel anything unusual yet, but after staying for a while he suddenly realized the problem: “It’s so quiet here, I can’t hear anything, even the background music has suddenly disappeared.”
”Indeed, it seems like two different worlds from the street outside, how did he do it?” Liang Er also walked in, “It’s so quiet to the point of eeriness, I’m just now getting a slight feeling of strolling through a haunted house.”
