“Okay, don’t worry.” Gu Feiyu did not understand why Chen Ge wanted to block off the exit if he was just going to scare people. He grumbled internally, Is this to give the visitors a sense of despair?

After sending Chen Ge off, the honest Xiao Gu closed the wooden boards and hauled the props to cover it up.

…

The group of visitors chose the left path, and they walked for some time until they reached another junction. “This is the second junction. The road on the left leads to a deep well, and the end of the right corridor is three empty rooms.”

Yang Chen looked at his notebook. It had a detailed explanation of all the scenarios. To be able to record everything so clearly, it showed how deep the despair his seniors had experienced was, such that they could still remember everything so clearly after they returned to school.

“The three rooms have their own number, and in the ceiling of the one of the rooms’ bathroom is a female body. According to the record, there’s a nametag inside her pocket.”

Listening to Yang Chen’s description, Lee Xue and Wang Dan frowned. Just the sound of it made them refuse to go forward.

“Leave this nametag to us.” Kong Xiangming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. Wei Wu wanted to say something but was stopped by Kong Xiangming with a look.

“Okay, shall we wait outside the room for you? According to the notebook, when the visitors are inside the room, there might be mannequin dolls that come to interrupt.”

“There’s no need. Didn’t you say we’re running low on time? You can go on to the other path. We’ll meet up later.” Kong Xiangming left right away. Wei Wu followed behind him, and the two did not share a word as they walked away.

“Ol’ Yang, let us go.” Wang Dan pointed down the other corridor. He whispered, “It’s good that we’re splitting up; this means we don’t need to worry about them.”

Even though the notebook said not to split up, this was a unique situation. The two visitors were most likely actors. Yang Chen nodded. The three of them jogged to the deep well. As recorded in the notebook, there were two nametags inside the well.

“Two nametags. The seniors are right; this well is very dangerous.” Lee Xue took out a ball of string from her purse and then removed the hair clip she was wearing to tie to the end of the string. “Thankfully, we came prepared.”

“The boss wouldn’t expect this as well.” This was the first time the students had felt happy inside the Haunted House; it was as if they had just scored a psychological victory. Lee Xue dropped the makeshift fishing line into the well and very easily hooked one of the nametags. She pulled it up slowly, and when the nametag left the well, the three sighed in relief like they had just won the Super Bowl.

“Well done!” When Lee Xue dropped the fishing line into the well again, she realized that the well seemed to have gotten deeper. She tried several times before finally hooking the other nametag, but when she tried to pull it up, something scary happened.

The sand parted to reveal a dead person’s face. Half of the nametag was exposed out of the sand while the other half was in the dead person’s mouth.

“F*ck me!”

“What the hell‽”

The three students gasped. For the first time, they felt how malicious the adult world could be.

“Xiao Xue, try to yank harder. See if you can pull the nametag out.”
