Chapter 1128 – Face to Face
Unable to stop his legs from trembling, Shangguan Qinghong knew that the person in front of him covered in blood was definitely not Ma Feng.
It was a monster, a monster whose body type was completely different from a normal person!
As the smell of blood grew thicker and thicker, his body instinctively began to back away, and when his mental capacity reached its limit, he shouted out for Sister Snake to hurry up and then turned around and ran.
At the same time, Sister Snake’s hand was grabbed by someone, Shangguan Qinghong had just shouted out her name, and it felt as if Shangguan Qinghong wanted to take Sister Snake away with him.
She couldn’t see anything in the darkness, Sister Snake could only hear Shangguan Qinghong’s gasps and footsteps.
She didn’t have time to think too much before she was yanked up by the man and stumbled in the darkness at a fast pace.
”Hey! Don’t run around!” Sister Snake wanted to remind Shangguan Qinghong that there were still teammates who hadn’t followed, but Shangguan Qinghong had already been scared out of her wits, people would become extra vulnerable after not being able to see the light, and the fear in their hearts would be infinitely magnified.
Shangguan Qinghong rolled and crawled in the corridor running, the strange thing is that whenever he is about to touch the wall or tripped into something, there will be a hand in front of him to protect him, so that he is free from injury.
Normally this was someone protecting him, but now Shangguan Light Hong had completely lost the ability to think, he was running in the dark and suddenly a pair of hands appeared in front of him to stop him.
Not knowing the truth he would only feel more fear, change direction or angle and continue running.
Shangguan Light Hong did not dare to stop for a moment, as if the ghosts could not catch up with him as long as he ran fast enough.
After being stopped a dozen times in a row, Shangguan Light Hong touched the handrail of the building and he finally stopped.
”There are stairs in such a dark place?” Shangguan Light Hong didn’t dare to imagine the scene after he stepped on a foot, his heart had completely panicked.
With trembling fingertips, he grabbed the handrail, Shangguan Light Hong made a move that no one expected.
He sat down on the ground, stretched out his own hands, propped himself up on the ground with one hand, and just started sliding downwards upside down.
The boss behind Xinhai’s biggest haunted house, Shangguan Qinghong who had seen many big scenes, at this moment even adopted such a way to go down the stairs, at that instant even the arms beside him that were ready to reach out to stop him stopped.
”Shangguan Light Hong, what are you doing?” Sister Snake heard the strange sound and inquired in a high voice.
”Going downstairs!”
In such a dark environment, going downstairs was too dangerous, Sister Snake was reluctant in her heart, but she had no better way, grabbing the handrail, half squatting her body and moving down.
Throughout the process, her arms were gripped, and her fellow travelers were protecting her, preventing her from falling.
Sister Snake descended the stairs very slowly, and with the sudden loss of her vision, she was careful with every step she took.
The hand had been assisting her the entire time.
”Thanks, Light Hong!”
Sister Snake was a little younger than Shangguan Qinghong, she initially despised Shangguan Qinghong, but what she didn’t expect was that at the critical moment Shangguan Qinghong didn’t leave her alone to escape, this made her more or less touched.
”What did you say?!” A few moments later, Shangguan Light Hong’s voice rang out there on the next floor, and in just a moment’s time, Shangguan Light Hong had already used his own method to slide to the next floor.
Hearing Shangguan Qinghong’s voice, Snake Sister’s face instantly turned green, she knew that it wasn’t Shangguan Qinghong who had been supporting her.
Her trembling arm grabbed the hand that was assisting her, it was cold and piercing, her hand continued to move down and touched the small crushed flowers on her skirt.
Sticky blood was congealed on the edge of the skirt, with animal-like hairs mixed in.
Before Sister Snake could remove her hand from the skirt, she felt a slight tickle in her ear, as if a hair had touched her ear.
Wincing, Sister Snake really wanted to reach up and touch her ear as a cold breath blew across her earlobe.
”My best friend walked me down the stairs like that when I first went blind, and once I thought she was my best friend.”
The sultry voice drilled right into Snake’s ears, her scalp tingling and her body stiffening.
”My best friend cooked for me and took care of me, she and I were best friends without words, I even wanted to give her Ming. I think she’s the kindest and sweetest girl in the world, I regret accepting Ming’s confession when I was in school, I like Ming, but I know she likes him too.”
The woman’s voice rang in Sister Snake’s ears sentence by sentence, the voice was getting closer and closer to her, and in the end, it was as if the person who was speaking was lying on her back, with her lips pressed to her ear.
”Ming left me, as if he had another woman, now only my best friend is still with me, she really treats me well, even though she has a new boyfriend of her own, she is still willing to come and take care of me every day.”
”I feel sorry for her and she doesn’t care about all the bad things I’ve done in the past, she says she’s willing to be my eyes.”
”Our relationship is even better than before, I share my moods to her and we record it all in our diary, we take all sorts of photos together and every time my bestie dresses me up beautifully, she says I am the most beautiful girl in school just like when I was in school.”
”I’m so glad I met such a good BFF, until one day.”
The woman’s voice carried a bone-chilling chill, “She came home late that day, and seemed to have had a lot to drink; she unlocked the door to my room with her key, and said she would take me out for a walk.”
”I smelled the odor of alcohol all over her body, so I wanted to let her rest and not run around, but she very rudely interrupted what I said and forcibly grabbed me, who was still wearing my pajamas, and walked outside.”
”I subconsciously resisted, but she grabbed me by the hair and held me down.”
”She told me that she had fallen out of love today and that I had better not mess with her.”
”That horrible tone was completely different from her usual self.”
”After coming out of the house, she forced me to walk upstairs, I was scared, but she kept holding my hand, just like now.”
Snake visibly felt a force take hold of her arm and her body was forced to start leaning forward.
”She never told me what she was going to do until we got to the top of the roof, when she suddenly yanked me by the hair and then leaned over and asked me something in my ear.”
”She said that she hated me, from when I was in school, until now.”
”I didn’t know why she hated me until she pushed me down the stairs; until I reopened my eyes and looked at myself lying on the stairs with my head broken and bleeding; until I realized that the journal that had been keeping track of my life and her life was actually filled with fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you bitch! I realized that we weren’t actually good friends; I was willing to be with the withdrawn and ugly her because she could complement my beauty; and she was willing to be friends with me, who was so much prettier than she was, because she wanted to watch me become a little bit uglier than she was.”
Snake’s face was gently cupped, and at that moment, Snake’s whole body was tense, and she could feel a face pressed against her in the darkness.
”By the way, I also forgot to mention one more thing, that day she lost her heart because Ming was getting married. It’s a pity that the bride is neither me nor her! Hahahahahahahaha!”
}The person’s piercing smile rang in her ears, and Sister Snake felt like countless hands had grabbed her in an instant, wanting to drag her straight into the abyss.
”Don’t come over! Help! Help!”
It was pitch black, nothing could be seen, surrounded only by boundless fear and hearts that were darker than the darkness itself.
After a few beeps of Sister Snake’s cry for help, her body went limp, and downstairs, Shangguan Qinghong didn’t know what was going on, and he hurriedly slid down the stairs the first time he heard Sister Snake’s cry for help.
His pants were abraded and his buttocks were raw, but he didn’t care at all.
Inside, he was completely dominated by fear, and he felt like there were arms and cold dead people everywhere around him.
Unconscious sounds came out of his mouth, Shangguan Qinghong had never been as desperate as he was today.
He crawled aimlessly in the darkness, he could not see the light, he did not know what was around him, there was no hope or direction, he did not even know where he was now.
”How big is this place! Let me out of here! I’m done with this! I give up!”
Fear overwhelmed Shangguan Qinghong, he slumped to the ground and cried out at the top of his voice, but what made him even more desperate was that he could only hear his own voice around him.
No one appeared, no light flashed, it was as if he had been thrown into the depths of the ocean and was slowly sinking alone.
Shangguan Light Hong suddenly felt that breathing became difficult, his chest was extremely tight, he wailed like a madman, crying until he was hoarse, until finally an arm as dry as firewood struck down.
”Normal people can’t even last three minutes in this kind of absolute darkness, how did the boss save Ying Hitomi from the world behind the door in the first place? Not only did he not collapse in absolute darkness, he also managed to avoid the murderous demon’s pursuit, and even seemed to have given the murderous demon a hammer to the head …… “Mr. Wood put the collapsed Shangguan Light Hong under control and helped him stimulate the body fainting protection system before quietly leaving.
The screams of Sister Snake and Shangguan Light Hong came one after another, and Ma Feng lay on his back behind the door, not daring to move.
Compared to the fear brought by this haunted house, the haunted house in the Virtual Future Paradise was indeed like playing house, and this sense of realism was still difficult to replicate with the current technology.
”Want to give up?” Five fingers clenched, Ma Feng was an extremely strong person, he was unwilling to admit that he was weaker than others.
”Brother Ma, we can go out now, those ghosts seem to have left.” Sun Xiaojun’s voice sounded next to Ma Feng, before the mass of ghosts and monsters arrived just now, Sun Xiaojun dragged Ma Feng into the room next to him.
”Little Sun, how did you know that there would be ghosts and monsters coming?”
”I deduced it through the sound of a cat’s cry, I’ve always wondered why there would be a cat’s cry coming over and over again and the sound is getting closer and closer, it feels like there’s some kind of person chasing after the cat.” Sun Xiaojun’s voice was low and analyzed in a small voice.
”Got it.” Ma Feng sighed, “I can’t imagine that I’ve hired so many top designers, but it’s still not as good as an ordinary tourist like you, Xiao Sun, I might have misunderstood you before.”
”How can I say it …… This haunted house is very powerful, you better not go against it in the future.” Xiao Sun’s heart is kind, he felt that if he could persuade Ma Feng “without bloodshed”, so that Ma Feng realized his own mistakes, it would be very beneficial to the house of horrors, equivalent to one less enemy.
”Listening to your tone, you know this haunted house well? Could it be that you’re really an employee here?” Ma Feng hung his head low, his gaze was gloomy, but his voice sounded gentle.
”I’m not an employee here, but I enjoy visiting this haunted house and more or less know a little bit about it. If you don’t target the house of horrors again in the future, I can think of a way to help you find your way out, as for clearing the level you shouldn’t think about it, that’s almost impossible.” Little Sun was very sincere.
”This haunted house is too scary, lend me ten guts I won’t dare to come over next time. The haunted house owner is a talent, to be able to open a haunted house to such a realm, I, Ma Feng, am convinced.” While his mouth said convinced, his eyes showed a hint of sinister, Ma Feng knew that the haunted house actor might be able to see his expression, so he kept his head lowered as he spoke.
”Okay, then I’ll try to take you out, you must follow me closely!”
Ten seconds later, Xiao Sun opened the door to the room, “The ghosts and monsters have left, quick! Let’s stick to the door of the room and immediately hide in the house when we encounter danger.”
The two of them touched the wall and moved forward, when they were about to reach the stairway, the sound of a cat’s cry sounded again, Sun Xiaojun grabbed the panicked Ma Feng and drilled into the room next to him.
The cat calls disappeared, and the two walked out of the room and entered the stairs.
Repeating this a few times, they managed to make it to the second basement level.
The cat’s cry sounded again, Sun Xiaojun and Ma Feng already had experience, the two of them directly touched the door of the room next to them and hid inside.
”This scene looks difficult, but in fact it’s also very simple as long as we master the rules, when the cat calls it means the ghosts and monsters are coming, at this time we just need to hide in the room next to us.” The corner of Ma Feng’s mouth revealed a disdainful smile, “Now we just have to wait for the catcalls to stop and then go out.”
”That’s right.” Sun Xiaojun also nodded, “Those ghosts and monsters seem to be unable to enter the interior of the room.”
”Pah!”
Before Sun Xiaojun’s words fell, the door to the room in front of them was opened.
In the darkness, the two froze in place, their bodies as if they were frozen.
Ma Feng didn’t even dare to breathe, he slowly crouched his body down and retreated a little bit backward along the wall.
He realized that there seemed to be another door behind him, and he silently retreated into it.
His palms touched the bedpan and closet, and Ma Feng got down on the floor and quietly hid under the bed.
Not only did the catcalls not get weaker, but they became more urgent, and the ghost seemed to have entered the house.
Nothing can be seen, and Ma Feng does not dare to call out Sun Xiaojun’s name, he lies alone under the bed.
The cat’s cry got closer and closer, and finally seemed to follow him into the bedroom, resounding directly in front of him.
”Why do I feel that Sun Xiaojun is wrong, these cats don’t seem to be here to remind us that the ghosts and monsters have come close, instead it seems like they’re ventilating with the ghosts and monsters, purposely leaking our location!”
A few seconds later, the cat calls disappeared quite suddenly.
Ma Feng was still lying on his back under the bed, he slowly moved his body to crawl towards the doorway’s position, and his ears suddenly itched a little, as if he had touched something.
He twisted his head and ran his fingers towards it, his hair tangled in his hand.
He touched a cold human face, the person was tied under the bed, and was now facing him.
