The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1693 - 1683: Garden Fair (Part 4)

The typical haunted house, with a few fake dead bodies, some startling music, red and green lights, is really boring.

But this project is different. This haunted house is a role-playing game.

This means that when entering the haunted house, players are given a script, which changes with each season. Around the Chinese Ghost Festival, it’s themed to traditional ghost stories. During Halloween, perhaps it’s vampires or werewolves.

As famously haunted locations, hospitals and schools are common settings for the role-playing game.

This time, the theme of the role-playing game is a hospital.

Both groups are merging for this event, so everyone has to participate in the role-playing game.

Now, anyone wanting to back out has no excuse. Everyone must enter the room together and take on the challenge.

Take Zhou Weiwei, for example. She’s genuinely scared of ghosts. Although she plays ghosts and fox spirits in TV dramas, in China, those characters are usually for romances. The real scary movies that get shown are typically "just a dream" or explained as mental illness. Even for murder movies, they fear viewers might imitate them, so they don’t emphasize the methods of killing or the killer’s tactics—it’s just briefly mentioned.

Then there are some guys, like Zhang Wenyi... His idea of a ghost movie is like "Beauty Ghost," featuring a beautiful female ghost. If he were to play a horror game, he’d probably be more scared than anyone.

This time, the script is about a virus outbreak in the hospital, turning doctors and patients into zombies. The players, there to visit friends, get caught up in it and must find a way out.

This kind of role-playing game usually lasts over an hour inside the haunted house. In this immersive, engaging haunted house, you have to find certain items and obtain a door card to successfully get out.

In such a haunted house, even a group of macho guys might shed a tear, let alone timid girls. Since it opened, only three or four out of ten have completed the whole course and earned an achievement—a medal.

The director indeed gave them such a script: they were to enter the haunted house together, investigate the situation inside, and successfully obtain an access card to exit. During this process, if someone was scared enough to wet their pants and needed to exit midway, it would count as a failed mission. If they ran too slowly and were "caught" by a monster, that was also a failure. Or if they couldn’t find the door card and were still inside after an hour, that was a failure too.

A haunted house can accommodate twenty people per session, each lasting an hour. It’s the longest and most attractive attraction in the whole amusement park. But not many dare to play—because it’s too terrifying.

Such an eerie project doesn’t frighten Xia Siyu. When she watched horror movies as a child, her mother would tell her that if ghosts truly existed, then there must also be gods. All things in the world balance each other; nothing is an exception. Growing up, she realized that the most frightening thing is the human mind. Ghosts and monsters are merely distortions of it. You never know, beneath a seemingly normal human appearance, what kind of being truly exists.

But this time, it’s the men’s and women’s teams joining forces, so she’ll have to team up with Bo Yan. That’s more terrifying to her than monsters.

Zhang Wenyi, beside her, gallantly said, "I’ll help you later! Stand behind me. If anything happens, I’ll charge forward first."

Zhou Weiwei had a "whimpering" expression, but Xia Siyu asked, "Must we pair up male and female this round? Can’t I go solo?"

Although Xia Siyu didn’t directly mention Bo Yan, anyone could tell she didn’t want to be grouped with him.

The production team hadn’t received any "surprising" directive from the two of them, so they assumed this was their own script they were performing.

Indeed, all other groups were so affectionate that they couldn’t stand being apart for a moment. But this unique pair insisted on doing the opposite.

They collaborated with Xia Siyu: "Sure."

Xia Siyu immediately looked proud and confident: "Let’s go! Isn’t the goal to pass in an hour? I’m on it!"

So everyone entered the haunted house together. This time, besides the eight celebrity guests, each group was followed by a photographer. The large haunted house event can accommodate twenty people in total, so there were also eight regular tourists.

The tourists were thrilled to find themselves with celebrities. Some of the men coming in cracked their knuckles, ready to assist the ladies if needed when they scream.

Soon, everyone lined up and entered through the main door as instructed. Among the crowd, some were scared, some excited, and some annoyed—like Xia Siyu, whose expression clearly said, "Don’t touch me!"
