Chapter 48.2 (2/2)
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other at once. They both turned around and looked in the direction of the exit of the haunted house. Sure enough, a figure slowly emerged.
“Someone else made it out! That’s great!”
“What the hell! Are you deliberately playing a prank to frighten us? How hateful!”
As the figure gradually became clearer, Xiao Tangqiu stared incredulously.
It was that boy.
The boy whose head had been cut off by the axe.
The boy slowly walked from the exit of the haunted house towards them with a blank face.
Xiao Tangqiu instantly grew alert. He quickly looked at Tang Mianmian as a trace of fear flashed through their eyes. Such a thing was simply unheard of!
What sorcery was this?! Their dead teammate was alive!
Was this possible? Or had he been possessed? Ghosts could actually control a dead player’s body!
But in theory, when the game ended, everything should’ve come to an end.
Or…
Perhaps they hadn’t left the haunted house yet?
Were they still trapped in the illusion of the haunted house?
As Xiao Tangqiu puzzled over the matter, the boy who had his head cut off slowly walked towards them. He subconsciously took a step back, Tang Mianmian following him as well. Aside from the two of them, the expressions of the other players were also strange. After all, anyone with a normal IQ could see that there was something wrong with this boy.
But besides their group of players, the few people from the other team were especially enthusiastic about the boy, not only the four people who stayed outside, but also the three who just came out of the haunted house.
As if they were only passers-by.
Suddenly, the boy seemed to blend into the other group of players. Xiao Tangqiu stared at the boy’s back and remembered the boy’s girlfriend. He quickly turned to look for the girl. But he looked around and found that she was gone.
Gone?
Xiao Tangqiu felt a chill in his heart as he felt uneasy all over. Tang Mianmian noticed the change in Xiao Tangqiu’s expression and immediately became nervous. “What’s the matter?”
“Gone…”
Xiao Tangqiu murmured, “That girl is gone…”
Tang Mianmian immediately responded, “That boy’s girlfriend? Yeah! Why is she missing?”
He quickly turned to ask the others, “Where’s that girl?”
The remaining three players looked at each other with blank faces. “Girl? What girl? There’s only one girl on our side!”
Tang Mianmian’s eyes widened in disbelief. “No! The three of us went in so there should be four people left outside!”
“Four people?” They looked confused. “Clearly only three of us stayed outside! And there’s only one girl!”
Tang Mianmian incredulously asked the only girl among the three of them, “Don’t you remember? There was another girl besides you!”
The girl shook her head timidly. “I’ve never met her…”
Tang Mianmian couldn’t help but look at Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes sank as he nodded at him.
It seemed that the girl had really disappeared, and besides the two of them, no one else had discovered that.
As the two men looked at each other, the clown’s familiar, comical voice suddenly sounded again.
“Congratulations on your successful completion of the first game! Now please go to the next event – the rollercoaster of death!”
The clown’s voice sounded out from somewhere and spread to everyone’s ears. Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously turned to look for it. Just then, a toy wagon slowly entered his sight.
A puppet soldier sat on the pony wagon, the clown’s voice seemed to come from the puppet soldier’s mouth.
Hum, hum, hum-
The toy wagon slowly moved towards Xiao Tangqiu who immediately took a step back. At this moment, the puppet soldier suddenly pulled out a sword from its side. The cold light reflected off of the sword and in the next second, it drew its sword and killed itself.
The puppet soldier’s head fell to the ground instantly and rolled around, but sounds were still coming out of its mouth, “Welcome to the Death Playground… Welcome to the Death Playground…”
Perhaps because its head had fallen to the ground, it began to jam up.
“Death…”
“Death…”
This was exactly how the boy had died!
Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously clenched his fist. When he finally loosened it again, he found that his palms were sweating.
Moments later, the geek snickered, “Another trick!”
Others laughed as well, but it seemed as if they were forcing themselves.
“What did you see in the haunted house?” The girl timidly asked Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian.
If it were other old players, they might have asked to exchange information, but Xiao Tangqiu didn’t intend to hide anything and immediately told them what happened in the haunted house just now.
