Chapter 1023 - It’s Wrong to Peek at People’s Diaries (1/2)

“My name is Zhao Wen. He is Ling Feijie.” The bespectacled man gave Wu Jinpeng a once over. He saw that Wu Jinpeng was dressed in night market clothes, and he could practically smell the scent of poverty from him.

“Nice to meet you. I am the haunted house’s newest employee. The boss told me to join you guys to experience the scenario first before I am given any tasks.” Wu Jinpeng grasped the whole situation instantly. The two men liked the woman, but the woman did not like them.

“Uncle, are you really the worker here? You don’t look like one.” The two other visitors came over. They also looked quite young. “We are from Jiujiang Medical University. We hear from our seniors that the workers here are the scariest they have ever met. It’s as if they come out of hell itself.”

Hearing the comments from the two students, Wu Jinpeng’s forehead started to sweat. He seemed to have joined an inappropriate group.

“I still have not met the other employees, so I cannot confirm what you’ve said.”

“Uncle, you look like a nice person. You wouldn’t lie to us, right?” The two medical students were familiar with Chen Ge’s ways. They were given information about Chen Ge’s haunted house almost daily, so they were practically old costumers already.

“Do I look like a liar to you?” Wu Jinpeng wanted to explain himself, but the more he tried, the more the others eyed him with suspicion.

“Stop wasting time, we’ll head in first.” Ling Feijie was older than the two students, but he appeared more juvenile than the latter. He was like a flower that had grown in the greenhouse. He looked tough on the outside but weak on the inside. The few walked down the corridor into Mu Yang High School. Wu Jinpeng and the two students walked ahead while the three lagged behind. They kept glancing around. It did not seem like they were there to visit but to look for something. The blank test papers fluttered in the air, creating a rustle as they dragged against the ground. When Wu Jinpeng first entered the basement, it did not feel that scary, but the deeper they went, their faster his heartbeat, and his palms started to sweat.

“Uncle, you’re too tense. Your muscles are pulled so taut that you’re limping.” One of the students noticed this and smiled with sympathy. “I know that you’re acting, but do you need to try so hard?”

“I’m sorry, this is my first day at work.” Wu Jinpeng did not wish to act like that, but he was really not that brave. “Should we wait for the others? I don’t think we should split up…”

Wu Jinpeng turned around to look and saw the three standing before a classroom, stopping where they were. They did not look like they were moving forward. In fact, the man called Zhao Wen took several steps back like he was planning to sneak away from Mu Yang High School.

“Hey! There’s no need to be afraid. If we stick together, it should be fine.” Wu Jinpeng wanted to console them, but the man called Zhao Wen did not care for it. He even glared back at Wu Jinpeng.

“The three of you can continue the tour. Just go ahead without us.” Ling Feijie guarded beside Shen Mengbing always, unable to move away from her.

“Based on what our seniors said, those who split up inside the haunted house meet a horrible end.” The two students were experienced. They grabbed Wu Jinpeng and headed toward Shen Mengbing. “Stop kidding around, this is a two-star scenario!”

Being lectured by two people younger than him, Ling Feijie’s temper was lit up instantly. He wanted to argue with them but was stopped by the woman beside him.

“They have a point, Xiao Jie. You always act too rashly. Sometimes, you have to listen to others.” Shen Mengbing grabbed Ling Feijie’s arm lightly. “The condition to clear this scenario is to find enough name tags. Time is not waiting for us. Let’s try to clear this scenario in one try.”

Shen Mengbing’s voice was gentle, and it seemed to possess a magical power that could soften the temper of Ling Feijie.
