Chapter 1129 - Face-to-Face Encounter 2 in 1 (2/2)

His jeans were torn from friction, and his ass was burning, but he did not mind it at all. His heart was completely dominated by fear. He felt like there were arms and dead people everywhere around him. An unconscious yelp escaped from his lips. Shang Guan Qing Hong had never felt such despair before. He crawled aimlessly in the darkness. He could not see anything light, and he had no idea what was around him. There was no hope and no sense of direction. He could not even tell where the hell he was.

“Just how big is this place! Let me out! I do not want to play anymore! I give up on my tour! Help me! Let me go!”

Horror toppled Shang Guan Qing Hong over. He collapsed onto the ground and started to cry, but to intensify his despair, all he could hear was the echo of his own voice. No one showed. There was no flickering light signaling help. It was as if he had been thrown into the depths of the ocean, and he was slowly sinking. Shang Guan Qing Hong suddenly felt the air being cut into his throat, and there was a huge pressure on his chest. He sobbed and cried like a baby until his voice was hoarse. Eventually, an arm that was as thin as a wooden stick knocked him out.

“A normal person would not last longer than three minutes in this kind of despairing darkness. How did the boss end up rescuing Ying Tong from his world behind the door? Not only did he not crumble under the pressure of the ever present darkness, he even managed to successfully evade the pursuit of a merciless killer. In fact, I believe he even swung his hammer once at the killer…” Mr. Wood tried his best to keep Shang Guan Qing Hong, who had lost his mind, under control. After he triggered Shang Guan Qing Hong’s self-protect mechanism, which was fainting, Mr. Wood faded again into the darkness.

Sister Snake and Shang Guan Qing Hong’s horrible wails came one after another. Ma Feng leaned behind the door and did not dare even move an inch. Compared to the horror inside this haunted house, the haunted house at the futuristic theme park was indeed like child’s play. This kind of authenticity was something that was impossible to replicate even with the latest technology.

“Should I give up?” Gripping his fingers, Ma Feng hesitated. Ma Feng was an extremely prideful person. He was never going to willingly admit that someone was better than him.

“Brother Ma, we can go out now. The ghosts appear to have left already.” Sun Xiaojun’s voice appeared beside Ma Feng. When the batch of ghosts came earlier, it was actually Sun Xiaojun who had yanked Ma Feng into the closest room.

“Xiao Sun, how did you know that there would be ghosts coming?”

“I predicted that through the calling of the cats. I have been wondering why there has been a constant repetition of the cats’ calls, and the sound was getting closer and closer. It felt like something or someone was chasing after those cats.” Sun Xiaojun used his softest voice to give his own analysis.

“I get it now.” Ma Feng sighed in relief. “I really did not expect that all the top haunted house designers that I invited with me would be no better than a normal visitor like yourself. Xiao Sun, perhaps we all misunderstood you earlier.”

“How shall I put this… This haunted house is very scary. It is best that you do not target it in the future anymore.” Xiao Sun was a kind-hearted person. He believed that if he could persuade Ma Feng to surrender and drop his grudge against New Century Park’s haunted house ‘without the use of violence’ and make Ma Feng realize his own mistake, that would be a good thing for the haunted house because it would mean one less enemy to deal with.

“Listening from your tone, you appear to be very familiar with this Haunted house. Are you really an employee here?” Ma Feng kept his head lowered. His eyes were hiding the most venomous look, but his voice was warm and kind.

“I do not work here, but I like to visit this haunted house, so I am quite familiar with this place. If you promise not to purposely target this haunted house in the future, I can help you find the way out of this place. With regards to clearing this scenario, I can tell you, you can give that up now. That is basically impossible at this stage.” Xiao Sun was being very honest.

“This haunted house is too scary. Even if you gave me the courage of ten men, I would not return again. The boss of this place is a genius. To be able to expand his haunted house to this state, I, Ma Feng, can do nothing but surrender to his superiority.”

Even though that was what he said, his eyes belied what his real thought was. Ma Feng knew that with the night vision goggles, the haunted house actors might be able to see his expression in the dark, so he purposely kept his head lowered when he spoke.

“Okay, then I will try my best to bring you out. You have to stay close to me!” About ten seconds later, Xiao Sun opened the room door. “The ghosts have already left, quick! We’ll move by keeping our back to the wall. Once we run into any potential danger, we will hide inside the closest room.”

The two of them moved down the corridor by keeping close to the corridor. Just as they were about to reach the staircase, the calls of the cats returned, so Sun Xiaojun hurriedly grabbed the panicking Ma Feng and rushed into the room next to them.

Once the cats’ calls disappeared, the two walked out from the room and entered the staircase. This process was repeated several times until they successfully arrived at the second-floor basement. When the cats returned with their meowing, Sun Xiaojun and Ma Feng were already very experienced. The two of them found the nearest room and went hiding inside it.

“This scenario appears to be difficult, but once you get the theory behind it, it is very simple. When the cats call, it means that the ghosts are coming. At that time, we only need to go hiding inside the nearest room.” A derisive smile appeared on the corner of Ma Feng’s lips. “Now, we only need to wait for the cats to stop calling, and then we will be safe to leave this place.”

“That is correct.” Sun Xiaojun nodded. “And those ghosts appear to be barred from entering the interior of these rooms.”

Bang!

Once Sun Xiaojun said that, the door before them was being pushed open. In the darkness, the two were startled into inactivity, their bodies frozen. Ma Feng did not even dare to breathe. He slowly squatted down and nudged away from the front door down the wall. He did not tell Xiao Sun what he was doing. He then noticed that there appeared to be another door behind him. He entered it silently, leaving Xiao Sun as bait for the ghost that had just entered the room.

His palm felt the presence of a bed and dresser. Ma Feng crawled onto the ground and decided to hide under the bed. The sounds of the cats did not weaken but instead had gotten more urgent. The ghost appeared to have entered the room. Unable to see anything, Ma Feng did not dare call Sun Xiaojun’s name either; he stayed under the bed alone. The cats’ calls came closer and closer until it felt like they had followed him into the bedroom and were ringing out right before his face.

“How come I feel like Xiao Sun was wrong? The cats do not appear to warn us that the ghosts are coming close but are instead helping the ghosts by exposing our location!”

Several seconds later, the cats’ calls suddenly disappeared.

Ma Feng was still lying under the bed. He slowly nudged his body and crawled out from under the bed. Suddenly, something scratched his ear like he had brushed against something. He turned his head around and reached his fingers toward it. He found hair twined around his hand. He touched a cold human face. The person was tied under the bed, and Ma Feng was looking face to face at him.
