Chapter 576 This Person could not be Understood through Common Sense
An hour later…
Teacher Qiao’s last fan turned pale and left the ‘Haunted House Nightmare’ project. He then looked at the resting area again.
Big Boss Ruan had a ruddy complexion, chatting and laughing and even wanted to do it again.
The others lay awkwardly on their chairs. Some of them raised their eyes to the skies; some were staring blankly as though they had lost their souls.
As for Qiao Liang… he was stuffing chocolate into his mouth piece by piece with a pale face.
A pale-faced brother next to him raised his hand weakly and stopped him. “Old Qiao, don’t eat anymore. Any more and you’ll get diabetes…”
Qiao Liang turned a deaf ear without any energy to speak.
Everyone saw the last fan who came out with weak knees. Everyone saw each other’s state. One thing was certain no matter how stupid they were.
They were fooled big time!
Obviously, the only reason why the squad of fans, Teacher Qiao team, was annihilated was because of a spy who led everyone into the enemy’s ambush! Big Boss Ruan still had the face to say that he was timid and was a scaredy-cat? How was he scared at all, other than letting out more screams?!
When everyone saw Ruan Guangjian screaming all the way but still managed to successfully clear the game, they thought it was probably not that scary after all.
Everyone was even more convinced after Qiao Liang entered without saying a word.
However, all of these were illusions!
It wasn’t that Qiao Liang was unafraid. He was just so frightened, lying in the bathtub shaking without making a sound. When it came to the project under the bed, his legs turned to jelly, and he could not get out at all. The staff helped to bring him out.
His mind went blank, spinning dizzily after coming out; and he wildly stuffed chocolate into his mouth.
Ruan Guangjian was a little strange. “Eh? No one passed the customs? Then, no one can join me on the next project?”
Everyone: “…”
Could you have more shame?!
Especially Qiao Liang, who almost fainted from anger.
Boss Pei could stand such a person and be his friend? How broad-minded must Boss Pei be!
Ruan Guangjian’s current state was like everyone was grieving because the exam was too difficult, but he came over with a 100-mark paper and said, ‘Hey, the question this time is quite simple; why did everyone fail?’
Moreover, he did so with a very sincere tone that infuriated others even more! Of course, Qiao Liang was angry because of other reasons as well. He wondered… why was there such a big gap between everyone? Why could this person yell all the way and still pass this stage while I could only be dragged out by the staff because I was so scared?
However, Qiao Liang suddenly had a thought when looking at Ruan Guangjian’s annoying ‘superior student expression’.
‘You might not be afraid of ‘Haunted House Nightmare’, but… what about ‘Ultimate Horror’?’
It was written on the leaflet that the Haunted House Nightmare was on a ‘medium’ scary level. It was already so scary so the Ultimate Horror was directly marked with ‘Don’t go’; how scary would that be?
Qiao Liang was most certain about one point after playing so many games with Boss Pei: that was that Boss Pei usually meant the opposite of what he said. However, he fully believed it when Boss Pei said that this game was very difficult and abusive!
They must not be stubborn about it, or else they would definitely regret it.
Qiao Liang changed his expression as he thought of this. “Big Boss Ruan is too awesome! Hidden talent! You actually obtained the admission ticket for ‘Ultimate Horror’ so you’ll definitely experience it, right?”
Ruan Guangjian was a little hesitant. “But… no one else obtained the admission ticket so no one would be able to come with me.
“What about I wait here, you try again, and we’ll go after you obtain the admission ticket…?”
Qiao Liang waved his hand. “No, no, no! Really don’t need it! I’m not feeling too well today. I’ll be in Jingzhou these few days so I’ll try again another day.
“More importantly, Brother Ruan, shouldn’t you try to be the first person to pass the ‘Ultimate Horror’?”
Ruan Guangjian hesitated. “But I’ll be very scared if I were to go alone…”
Qiao Liang did not know what to say. “…”
As if I believe you!
You might talk about fear and scream around, and yet you could remember all the steps and execute them perfectly? You could still have color in your cheeks after exiting?
Qiao Liang laughed. “It’s okay, I believe you can do it! Let’s go, we’ll cheer for you!”
Ruan Guangjian was moved. “Alright, I’ll bet my life and try it out since Brother Qiao trusts me so!”
Everyone left the Haunted House Nightmare, passed by the Golden Maze, and marched towards the Ultimate Horror.
Qiao Liang was hit by the sunshine as he stepped outside, his cold hands and feet finally started warming up again. At the same time, his empty brain was finally able to recall the experience.
Qiao Liang realized that it was not that they were too weak; the Haunted House Nightmare was just too scary!
The other haunted houses were basically dark settings with periodic strange sounds and things popping out to scare one from time to time. They mainly relied on sudden unknown fears.
However, Haunted House Nightmare was completely different. It was more like an open strategy, psychological warfare!
The visibility was not low. Everything that was required to be done had been explained in advance so one could predict what was going to happen. However, that did not help to reduce the sense of fear at all!
An unsuitable analogy was that a general haunted house was like watching a horror movie. The sudden emergence of a bloody human head would give people a strong visual impact, and they would be scared at a certain moment. However, this fear would gradually dissipate after watching the movie.
The Haunted House Nightmare was akin to one being forced out of their house after watching a horror movie. One came to a strange place after walking under the dim streetlamp and moonlight.
There were no scary things that popped out suddenly-no ghosts, only silence. However, that person would continuously look behind them to confirm if any mysterious shadows were behind them.
The more they turned back, the more flustered they would become and the more they would want to run… yet they dared not. They would only collapse under this growing psychological pressure.
Qiao Liang calmed down and analyzed naturally as someone who liked to do that.
At the same time, he was more certain about something.
Ruan Guangjian was too terrible! He was able to persist in such a scary place and remember all the steps to clear the game. There was definitely something very wrong with this person!
They came to the entrance of Ultimate Horror, and Ruan Guangjian once again gave him a solemn expression. “Brother Qiao, here I go!” Qiao Liang was not deceived at all. “Okay, all the best, we’ll support you!” He pretended to say in goodwill.
