Chapter 469 - Starting Now! [2 in 1] (2/2)

“I don’t care what kind of choice you make. I just want to remind all of you to not stay so long in the junction. It is very dangerous here.” Bai Qiulin did not look at Yang Chen or Ah Nan. Instead, he kept turning his head to look behind him, like there was something scary approaching them from the dark and eerie corridor. He did not say anything scary, but his one small motion also made the rest of the visitors turn their heads to look back down the corridor. Inside the dark corridor, it really seemed like something was moving, and there was more than one of them!

“We have been walking for so long already.” Fan Dade laughed drily as he dragged his little brother to the front of the group. So far, it had been the two of them who stood at the back.

“Er… I’m sorry.” Tails, who stood next to Ah Nan, raised her hand. The girl’s voice was soft, and it was impossible to tell her real age from her appearance and her voice. “Have you guys discovered something? That human head keeps on moving, but I’ve been looking around. There is no mechanism controlling it inside the walls, and look at its movement pattern—it went up and down, up and down. That doesn’t look like it was pulled along by a string.” Tails explained her keen observations.

“Perhaps the mechanism is hidden inside it? Perhaps the boss is giggling while he looks at us from the surveillance camera.” Xiao Lee shrugged. He was an employee at the futuristic theme park, so he knew a thing or two about devices at the park. He knew that with current technology, many things that seemed impossible could be done

“But look closer.” Tails used the cutest expression to say something that made the rest of the visitors so uncomfortable. “The degree that it moves up and down is different each time. It doesn’t look like a programed thing. In fact, it looks more like an invisible person is bouncing the thing repeatedly against the ground, or the human head is moving on its own.”

Before the visitors could recover from the shock of the shadows coming from the corridor behind them, their focus turned to the human head inside the corridor to their right. They looked at it long enough, and it really did feel like the human head was bouncing on its own. It bounced and laughed, and the distance between them seemed so close.

Fan Dade wiped the sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, he felt like standing in the middle of the group was not that safe anymore.

“We should ignore the human head for now. We should go straight ahead to inspect what is behind that open door.” Ah Nan looked at Yang Chen. “Based on your speculation, the human head is a guide. If that is the case, when we exit the room, it should still be here waiting for us, so there is no reason for us to hurry and leave.”

“I also think it is better that we check out the room first.” Hu Ya had been silent throughout, but when she spoke, it meant that the three editors would be following her direction. Yang Chen felt like arguing his case, but he surrendered after Hu Ya stated her stance. The beautiful main editor had a mature and warm voice—it was a completely different style from Tails. In fact, she reminded Yang Chen of Chen Ge. Yang Chen felt this was a very well-hidden, black-belly big sister and not someone he could cross.

“Then, we will do that first.” The twelve visitors walked past the junction and squeezed themselves before the open door. This was a wooden door, and the bottom end was dug out. The door itself was covered with scratch marks. There was a sign written on the side of the door in pen that read ‘Paradise’.

“A paradise inside theme park?” Yang Chen walked at the front of the door. He used his hands to touch the deep gouges on the door. Inside the grooves, there were blood stains and some brownish-black substance. “Do you think these marks were made by human hands?”

After entering the underground morgue, everything that he saw was so authentic to a point where he almost forgot he was visiting a Haunted House. Pushing the door open, the room was filled with many different items. There were bottles and vials arranged on the racks. Various organ models were soaking with yellow liquid inside the containers.

“What kind of paradise is this?” The room was very small, and it could not fit all twelve visitors. As Ah Nan entered the room, he told the rest of the visitors, “The rest of you should stay outside. Don’t wander off on your own. Wait for us to come out, and we will move out together.”

The three students from Western Jiujiang Medical University and the three editors entered the room. To complete the mission handed to him by Mr. Mu, Xiao Lee also entered the room. After they entered, Bai Qiulin very naturally stood guard at the entrance to the room.

Fan Dade, who was more cowardly, dragged his little brother and squeezed next to Ol’ Zhou. “The two of us should just stay here. When they’re done with the search, we’ll just continue to follow them.”

When he finished his sentence, he turned to smile at Ol’ Zhou with an embarrassed smile. “We don’t visit place like this often. When we move in deeper, do you mind if we stick with you?”

“Of course not.” Ol’ Zhou looked like such a friendly person. Kind, passionate, and loyal. Inside the dark and eerie corridor, Fan Dade was surrounded by Ol’ Zhou, Duan Yue, and Bai Qiulin. He felt safe. These three were more trustworthy compared to the young’uns inside the room.

“We sure are lucky this time. We’ve found ourselves good company to party with—perhaps we really can clear the scenario this time.”

While the big brother was happy with their luck, the little brother had a bad feeling growing in his heart. The meat on his body jiggled as Fan Chong turned back to look down the corridor that they had come from. The lights that were attached to the walls had been extinguished. He had no idea when that had happened.

The scariest thing was that the lights continued to get extinguished starting from the furthest one every few minutes. The corridor became darker, and the thing hiding inside the darkness seemed to be moving forward.

“It really feels like something is coming.”

…

Yang Chen, Ah Nan, Wang Dan, Lee Xue, Xiao Lee, Tails and Hu Ya ransacked the place, and other than the dust that covered their hands, they did not come up with any worthwhile discoveries.

“The haunted House’s boss would not have wasted such a huge amount of energy to create a useless room. There has to be a big secret hidden inside this room.” Ah Nan led the two female editors to walk through the racks. “This place looks very much like an abandoned warehouse.”

There were some ruined tables, chairs, and society equipment left in the corner. Ah Nan went to pick up one of the costumes from the pile. He discovered that the costume was wet like someone just had a bath and then put the clothes on. Putting the costume down, Ah Nan moved his finger to his nose, and he smelled a weird stench.

“This doesn’t smell very much like water.” While Ah Nan was caught in his thought process, Hu Ya walked deeper into the warehouse alone. She opened the cupboard that was placed at the corner and looked through the weird paintings that were stored inside.

Tails followed behind them. Since the path was blocked, she leaned against the printer that was by the wall. She accidentally hit the switch, and a rather pudgy face appeared on the printer.
