Chapter 95: The Haunted House

Chapter 95: The Haunted House
The mourning hall in front of me was arranged in a very strange way.

Because it was night, there was only the dim light of the candles on the table. On the long table in front of the coffin, there was an incense burner, and the smoke was curling up. On both sides of the table, there were various offerings, fruits and snacks, all of which were carefully selected.

The veils danced around the mourning hall, and the night wind blew in from the window, gently blowing in the wind.
Several figures can be seen crying quietly on one side, and the occasional sound of chanting echoes in this quiet and eerie room.

"This..." Hou Cheng's expression was shocked, mixed with a hint of embarrassment and confusion.

It was also because he had sworn before that this scene was so great that he was more familiar with it than his own home.

But after actually coming in, what he saw and heard was completely different from what he described.

The slap in the face came too quickly.

"Brother Hou, how come there is a mourning hall here? It's different from what you said." A man named Zhang Lin from Hou Cheng's side asked, probably looking a little dissatisfied.

The main thing is the current situation, which makes Hou Cheng seem unreliable.

Even if they are in the same group, since it's a matter of life and death, they have to make it clear.

Can't fool around.

"Tsk, Zhang Lin, don't be anxious. This may be a new scene unlocked in the ten-player difficulty case. It doesn't matter. I estimate that a little more or a little less should be similar to the original way to pass the level." Hou Cheng was still stubborn.

There's no other way, this is all he can say at this time.

But actually?
After seeing the mourning hall, his heart began to beat fast.

I knew that I had done something that backfired, but who knew that this 'haunted house escape' would be so unconventional, the scenes with less than ten people and more than ten people were almost like they had been completely replaced.

He begged and pleaded in his heart that this would not happen.

If this is true, then his previous experience would be completely invalid.

More importantly, the difficulty of passing the level will increase dramatically.

You have to know that there are real "ghosts" here. If you can't pass the level, you will most likely die here. At that time, not only will you not get the reward for passing the level, you will also have to pay for the ticket.

This is a huge loss.

The most troublesome thing is, after this incident, how to lead the team in the future?
The prestige he had established and the team he had built up would all scatter like birds and beasts.

So Hou Cheng became nervous at that moment, his expression serious, and he immediately stepped forward to check the situation.

"Wait a moment!"

Luo Xi wanted to stop him, but was still a step too slow.

In fact, if you find that the scene has undergone major changes, the first thing to do is to stay calm and then observe, especially do not act rashly, because an inadvertent action may trigger some unknown consequences and mechanisms.

But Hou Cheng was extremely anxious at this time, and he desperately wanted to maintain his voice.

So he took a step forward and walked into the mourning hall.

Just this one time, the scene's 'mechanism' was indeed triggered.

Call ~
A strange, chilly wind blew in from the window.

The candles lit in the mourning hall were half blown out, and at the same time, the chanting suddenly stopped.

"Madam, it's bad. Your daughter jumped into a well while carrying her child. She was so angry that even I couldn't resolve her anger by reciting the 'Sutra of Rebirth'. Now, on the seventh day of the Resurrection Night, something bad is going to happen."

The next moment, the crying stopped.

"Master, what should I do? My poor daughter, oh, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have cared about this."

"Madam, now is not the time to cry. Take everyone away immediately. I will try to suppress this resentment. Remember, do not speak. If the wandering spirits notice you, you will die without a burial place!"

Then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, but through the gauze curtain, the candlelight was swaying, and the shadows were moving, so it was hard to make out clearly.

Suddenly, screams started.

puff!

The gauze curtain was immediately splattered with blood.

There was a thud, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. I guess it was the sound of someone falling to the ground.

"How dare you! No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't kill your mother and relatives. I have to take action today to kill you, this evil ghost."

puff!

Another sound.

Following the old monk's screams and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, the room suddenly became silent.

The ten people standing outside felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them from head to toe, and they felt numb.

No one dared to move, and almost everyone looked at Hou Cheng.

The latter obviously didn't expect this to happen, and from his expression one could tell that he couldn't be counted on. However, Luo Xi had already observed the structure of this lobby long before.

You can escape through the window and there is a door in front, but it is a bit dangerous because you will inevitably pass by the place where the evil spirit just killed people.

And behind them, the last person to come in was the hooded man who looked like a quiet man.

The latter probably didn't expect to encounter a scene where he would use a big move as soon as he came in, and he also stood there in a daze, a little at a loss.

The other party even tried to leave the same way they came in, but the door they originally came in through had disappeared.

This meant that all of them were temporarily trapped in this 'funeral hall'.

Hou Cheng was definitely not something we could rely on. He was overthinking things. In other words, the level of this level scene had a huge jump at the difficulty level of ten people, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

But at this time there is no need to think about why the difficulty of the scene has increased so much. What they need to think about is how to avoid being killed by the evil spirits returning from the mourning hall.

Call ~
The wind was howling and all the candles in the room were extinguished, so the surroundings were plunged into darkness. However, it was not completely dark, as moonlight shone in from the open window in the front.

Although, considering that the Doudou Game House was built in a shopping mall, the existence of moonlight was outrageous, but at the same time, now was not the time to pursue the matter.

Because, the 'ghost' is coming!
At this moment, a human figure suddenly appeared in the gauze tent in front, as if a person was approaching from the other side, staring at the gauze tent and slowly walking towards this side.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stood still.

As expected, they are all relatively experienced people who have recalled memories. They are not the newbies or morons who would scream and shout without thinking when encountering danger or problems. They are all smart people who know that they should not move around at this time, and it is best not to breathe.

Because living people breathe, it is easy for them to be detected by some strange beings.

Everyone knows this.

Luo Xi saw Wu Rui and Liu Mao giving him looks, and guessed that they wanted to know what he thought and what to do next.

Luo Xi shook his head slightly, signaling them to stay calm.

Look at that 'ghost' again.

Under the cover of the gauze curtain, you can see the shape.

It should be a woman.

The belly is very big.

It has been made clear from the conversation between the old monk and the lady just now that the owner of the mourning hall is a young woman, and she is pregnant.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock~
In the silent room, there was the sound of water dripping on the ground.

The source of the sound was the approaching 'ghost'.

The gauze curtain was already soaked, and under the curtain, you could see the other person's feet.

Very beautifully embroidered shoes, but they were soaked, with cold water droplets dripping down the trouser legs onto the ground.

Some people began to wonder, isn’t it said that ghosts have no feet?

How come this person has it?

But no one was stupid enough to lift the veil to verify it.

wrong!

Besides water, there is blood.

Maybe it was because the light in the room was too dim, so he couldn't see the color of the liquid at all, but Luo Xi smelled a very strong smell of blood.

At this moment, everyone in the room was very nervous and tense.

But the next moment, a gust of wind blew, the gauze curtain swayed, and a shocking scene happened: the big-bellied figure that appeared on the gauze curtain disappeared.

Everyone looked carefully.

It's really gone.

But in the next moment, Liu Mao's expression suddenly changed. He rushed over almost suddenly, grabbed Luo Xi and ran away.

"run!"

At the same time, Liu Mao roared wildly.

This voice was obviously meant for Wu Rui and Guo Zening to hear.

Obviously, Brother Mao sensed the crisis at the critical moment.

So much so that he would do everything he could to pull Luo Xi and call on his companions to escape.

Almost at the same time, a chill and darkness spread rapidly behind him, followed by a bang and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Luo Xi and the others ran a few steps away and looked back, only to see a scene that made their scalps tingle.

In the darkness, a headless corpse fell to the ground, blood oozing out of the wound on its neck. Next to it stood a woman with a big belly. Her upper body was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that she was holding something in her hand.

It was a bloody human head.
