The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!-Chapter 1694 - 1684: Garden Fair (Part 5)

The girls with boyfriends clung tightly to the men beside them. One of them even pretended to be relaxed and said, "I’m a seasoned player on the path to survival, a master who cleared Resident Evil without a scratch, and a level ten scholar of Silent Hill. Why would I be afraid of this?"

Then, right in the middle of the lobby, a countdown appeared on the screen, showing "59 minutes 59 seconds".

Next, a laugh echoed in the empty lobby, accompanied by the stuttering effect of a recorder, making it especially eerie: "Hell is about to descend, the feast has begun. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, join us and enjoy the decadent dinner together."

Those words made a few timid people freeze in fear. Looking back at the old man who had just been at the reception, he seemed to have slipped into the monitoring room next door, locking the door behind him.

Of course, this isn’t a movie. If you want to quit, you can do so at any time. However, the ticket you bought will be stamped with a "LOST" mark of shame. This is also the only "shame label" in the entire amusement park.

Earlier, some bystanders were shouting from behind, "It’s okay, I’ll protect you," whether they were men or women. But now they were all a bit hesitant. A girl at the back said, "Are we really going to continue?"

Zhou Weiwei was too scared to move. She clutched Zhang Wenyi’s arm. Although Zhang Wenyi reached out and patted the back of her hand to comfort her, saying, "It’s okay, it’s okay," he didn’t want to take a single step forward.

The others were more or less the same. Among the seniors, although the man often portrayed tough guys, those roles were in action films, which are different from horror movies. To be honest, all fear comes from the unknown, all fear comes from insufficient firepower. If you gave him a handgun and told him he could fight his way through, he’d probably go for it.

Shang Feifei, however, was calm. As an atheist, she wasn’t afraid at all, but she didn’t take a step forward either.

Instead, Xia Siyu turned around without any panic and said, "Hey, where’s that level ten scholar from earlier? Not going to come out and take a few steps now?"

As she spoke, the cameraman who was following them was still there, holding the camera and filming everyone.

The few tourists willing to follow along also knew about the filming. They didn’t mind much. The guy who had bragged about being knowledgeable earlier immediately pretended to be bold again. But when he was about to take a step, he saw the real scene next to him—a dark hospital, the deep corridor, suspicious bloodstains, and the background music. There weren’t piercing screams but rather the ticking sound of a countdown in the silence. Maybe later, there would be all kinds of eerie laughs, and he didn’t dare to take a step again.

No matter how well a game is made, it still doesn’t have the immersive feel of being on the scene. Bold men usually can’t stand it; those who can walk leisurely here are either truly unafraid or lacking common sense.

Anyhow, Xia Siyu, who lacked common sense and was incredibly bold, charged ahead. But after taking a couple of steps, she was stopped by Bo Yan. Xia Siyu frowned, "What is this? Isn’t this a haunted house? Are traitors popular now?"

Bo Yan shook his head, "No, you’re going in the wrong direction."

Xia Siyu was a habitual direction-blind individual. If someone told them to go right, she would unhesitatingly go left. But Xia Siyu would never admit her mistakes and still argued, "Why do I have to go right? Maybe going left is the right way. You always listen to the NPC in the script, what if he’s the one setting a trap for you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion on the left. A gate fell, clearly forcing everyone to go right. It’s likely there are other players who don’t play by the rules and run around chaotically.

If they directly went left, the later process wouldn’t work, and the game would have to be deemed a failure.

No choice, since the official direction was right, they had to go that way. Xia Siyu still walked at the front, not taking the pitch-dark hospital ahead seriously.

They said to head up to the second floor on the right, but the staircase was blocked by a cabinet. The only half-open door beside them had "Internal Medicine" written on it. Xia Siyu pushed it open and indeed saw a doctor’s figure. She stood at the entrance without moving forward, letting those behind bump into her, scaring them into a frenzy. Zhou Weiwei shuddered directly.

There wasn’t any strange music in the room, just darkness. Xia Siyu pointed directly at the doctor, "See this? In movies, this kind of doctor is definitely here to scare you. Maybe when he turns around, it’s a rotting face ready to bite you with blood dripping."

But they couldn’t ignore this NPC, as the door was right behind him. A few people shrank back trying to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

This scripted horror was really well done, even considering such details. But Xia Siyu wasn’t afraid at all. She directly patted the doctor’s shoulder, "Hey, we need to get through. Where’s the key?"

Sure enough, the doctor shook his head and turned around, revealing a blood-smeared face. Some girls at the back screamed immediately and ran when they saw it. Zhou Weiwei, who didn’t know whether she was brave or timid, grabbed things to throw while shouting with her eyes closed, "Get away! Get away!"

Moreover, that "zombie" really stretched out a shaky hand, as if trying to grasp everyone. Seeing this scene, even the seniors and Zhang Wenyi were too scared to move. Although Han Yifan was a bit scared too, he still reached out to protect Shang Feifei. Everyone clearly saw that the "doctor" had a key in his pocket, but no one dared to go.

These things seem terrifying when you’re scared, especially with the eerie music that played when the "doctor" turned around, making people anxious without realizing it. But those who weren’t afraid, like Xia Siyu, just examined the figure closely.

Hmm, dude, your beard isn’t glued properly. It’s about to fall off.

Bo Yan, on the other hand, calmly took the key out and opened the door, and the others quickly rushed through. The "doctor" wobbled behind, but still managed to catch the last, slowest tourist.

Alright, this is just the first level, and already three have been scared away, and one was caught. Four people are OUT. No wonder very few dare to play this haunted house throughout the year, and even fewer manage to finish it.

The first level was already this creepy; the next is sure to be even more intense. Passing through this office, there was a bed with someone lying on it. Everyone cautiously avoided it and, upon exiting the room, encountered a "door opening scare". Another "doctor" had been waiting there and grabbed the first running cameraman.

Luckily, it was the cameraman who got caught, so he didn’t have to quit the game. But after bypassing this "doctor" and going upstairs, while searching room 103, just before entering, Xia Siyu vaguely heard some noises inside.
