“The road splits before us, and the four clues must be arranged along the different routes. After splitting into two groups, one team will go to the left and the other to the right. We will maintain contact through our phones and keep each other updated constantly.” Wei Jinyuan quickly assumed the role of the leader—he had real experience designing a Haunted House to back his confidence up. “The interior of the Haunted House wouldn’t be wasted on pointless buildings. Every single building here might be hiding the actors or hidden traps. Just stay close behind me, and do not touch anything inside the building.”

“How about you and Cold Guy lead one team while the host and I go down the other path?” Lee Jiu glanced at Wei Jinyuan. For some reason, he felt that something was off about the man.

“No problem, it’s decided then.” Wei Jinyuan did not even ask for the other visitors’ opinion; it was like his words were the law once they were inside the Haunted House. “You guys are lucky to have run into us.”

“Okay.” The female assistant led Shinozaki and walked over to Wei Jinyuan’s side. “We are visiting a Haunted House back in this country for the first time, so there’re plenty of things we do not understand. Sorry for the trouble.”

Shinozaki did not say anything. However, it did look like there was something on his mind. The female assistant knew how strange his personality was, and since he did get into an argument with Wei Jinyuan earlier, she believed that this was because he felt awkward from being placed into the man’s hands. Either way, she did not ask Shinozaki about it.

“Okay then, the four of us will go ahead.” Wei Jinyuan raised his phone. “Meet you at the exit.”

“Okay.” Lee Jian watched as the other group walked down the left street. He turned to the right. “We have our own business to have come to this Haunted House. If you’re willing, then just follow us. However, if you think we’re not trustworthy, feel free to leave.”

Lee Jiu had a bad attitude toward Wang Dan; he did not like the young man.

“In that case, I’d rather they follow me, and we’ll go our own way.” Wang Dan planned to leave with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend thought that it was safer to stick with Lee Jiu. The two had an altercation, and it was Wang Dan who was isolated. There was no other option. Even though Wang Dan was not a cowardly man, he still would not dare to wander around a 3.5-star scenario alone.

“See, isn’t this better? People have to say some strange things to show off. Doesn’t he realize how childish that looks?” The other male student did not mention any names, and he made it sound like he was talking to himself, but everyone knew who he was referring to.

“Childish?” Wang Dan lifted his head to look at the man, and his first reaction was to argue. The words were already on his lips, but suddenly, he realized that everyone, including his girlfriend, sided against him, and they also thought that he was being childish.

If that was the case, arguing would only make him look worse. Wang Dan cleverly shut his mouth. He might have been childish before this, but with the training from Chen Ge’s Haunted House, he was no longer the reckless young man that he had once been. As if coming to a decision, Wang Dan followed obediently behind Lee Jiu, acting like he had finally surrendered.

“We should have done this a long time ago. Why make it appear like a visit to the Haunted House is so difficult?” The male student stayed at the back of the group with Wang Dan’s girlfriend, and the five of them walked down the street on the right.

After the two groups separated and left, a faded mist rolled out onto the street, and a shadow walked through it.

…

When it was a group of ten, the street had felt crowded, but once half were missing, the area suddenly felt so open.

“There’s no background introduction, no plot, not even a signboard—it is truly a miracle for this Haunted House to have survived until now.” Wei Jinyuan really could not understand how a horrible Haunted House like Chen Ge’s could get so popular.

“Perhaps the visitors are drawn in by the freshness. After all, there are not many Haunted Houses on the market that provide such a large amount of freedom.” Lee Changyin touched the wall of the buildings by the street. “However, there are strange things about this place too. I’ve taken a rough look, and all the buildings here are a perfect replica of the ones outside. The materials are bricks and cement, and they lend the place an air of authenticity.”

“Isn’t it going to be complicated when he needs to remove these decorations if he doesn’t use plastic and wood? Or does he plan to keep this scenario for life? Haunted House visitors always prefer the new over the old, and they will be bored of a scenario after playing it once. It is such a waste of money to build with cement.”
