Chapter 37:

After solving one of the factors that affected his clearance, Bai Yan spent a pleasant weekend.
At noon on Monday, Bai Yan opened the app on time after making preparations. Taking advantage of the sunshine outside, he clicked the icon of the fourth level, hoping that this game can match a reliable teammate.

After reading the game information, Bai Yan looked up and began to look at the surrounding environment.
Now, he is standing in front of a modern shopping mall. People around the mall come and go, and people are full of laughter and laughter everywhere.
When Bai Yan looked around, a little fat man who was led by his mother passed by him. The little fat man held a balloon in his hand, his face flushed, and laughed carefree from time to time.
"This mall looks normal. Can such a place be haunted?"
Bai Yan murmured a word in his heart. He glanced around and found a young man holding a mobile phone, penetrating his head like him.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yan felt that this might be his teammate in this round, so he stepped forward and asked: "Hello, are you my friend Su Yize?"
"Well, I'm Su Yize, are you just plain words?"
"Yes, it seems that the two of us are teammates in this game."
Su Yize is a man with glasses, he is about the same height as Bai Yan.
After a simple greeting, after confirming that both of them are players in level 4, Su Yize asked: "It's getting late. The game requires us to buy tickets within half an hour. Should we go in now?"
"Okay." Bai Yan nodded, and the two entered the mall gate one by one.
The gate of the mall is a revolving door. After entering the gate, you will see the decorated red and yellow interior of the mall.
Today, the mall seems to be engaged in activities, and many shops are engaged in promotions. However, the two of them didn't come to buy things. They didn't think it had anything to do with the game, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and went straight to the fourth floor after a quick glance.
Because the elevator is prone to accidents, the two avoided the elevator and prepared to take the escalator to the fourth floor.
Compared with a closed elevator, there is a chance to escape when something goes wrong on the escalator. In addition, when looking for escalators, they can roughly scan the mall. Although the two felt that the focus should be in the haunted house on the fourth floor, they still didn't let any clues be hidden and kept the sights they saw along the way in mind.
Soon, the two reached the fourth floor.
After walking a few steps, they saw a store with a striking sign of ‘Secret Chamber Haunted House’.
Seeing this haunted house, the two were not busy going in.
They first confirmed that this is really the fourth floor, and then walked around the whole floor to make sure that there is really only one haunted house on this floor.
When they turned back to this haunted house, there were two more people in front of the haunted house.
A pair of sticky and greasy couples stood in front of the haunted house, and the man said to the woman beside him: "My dear, let's go look inside, the haunted house is very fun."
"Go away, I don't play haunted houses. I am timid and fear ghosts the most."
"Let's try it once. I heard that this haunted house is not scary at all. People like you won't be afraid to go in."
"No, if you don't go or don't go, you are definitely not afraid to play, I will have nightmares at night when I go in." The woman gave the man a roll of eyes, and seemed to know her own guts: "Go, let's go shopping elsewhere and say Well, go shopping with me, of course how I am happy."
The man smiled bitterly and was dragged away by the woman who rolled his eyes, looking very helpless.
Seeing the man being pulled away, Su Yize's eyes flashed with envy. What a good girlfriend, this man must not know that he escaped.
According to his experience in the previous two games, NPCs like the kind that are keen to kill are the best cannon fodder for players.
He watched the couple go away enviously, still a little uneasy, this couple avoided the minefield, would there be other NPCs on top?
Is there no NPC who dared to test poison in this game, and all players have to do it themselves?
Bai Yan looked at the couple who was away, and he had the same thoughts in his heart. Seeing that the time had only passed ten minutes, he didn't feel so anxious.
The two stood outside the door of the haunted house waiting for a destined person, but the destined person did not wait, but the owner of the haunted house came out from inside.
"Hello, two, are you interested in the haunted house?" The boss rubbed his hands excitedly: "I told you that my haunted house is super fun and affordable. You will never lose money when you come in."
They were a bit unwilling to wait for the NPC that could be used for thundering.
However, as long as you don’t buy a ticket, the countdown will not start, so he asked in plain words: "What is an affordable method?"
"My friend, that's the right question. Today, the mall is engaged in activities, and our haunted house is also discounted. My house's "Hunted Room Haunted House" adopts the latest design concept and is a combination of haunted house encrypted room escape. Originally experienced the room escape alone, or experienced it alone. All haunted houses need 35 tickets. Today it’s only 50, and you can experience two events at once for only 50 yuan. It’s not that I’m telling you. The haunted houses in the city are the cheapest in our house. Would you like to come in and try?"
Seeing the boss's earnest eyes, the two didn't even want to go in.
Others don't know, but they know that there are real ghosts in this haunted house.
However, the game requires them to enter. The two began to touch their pockets and rummaged through their pockets. Each of them drew out a hundred-dollar bill with a unique pattern printed on it, which looked like a coin of this world.
"Bai Yan, shall we buy two tickets and try?"
Su Yize winked at Bai Yan, and Bai Yan said to the boss: "Let's talk about it, and we will go to you after the discussion."
"Okay, I've been waiting in the store, my haunted house can be exciting, I want you to play once and want to play again."
The boss entered the shop with a smile. The door of the haunted house opened quite small. Through the narrow door, Bai Yan could see a figure dangling in the air.
Bai Yan guessed what the figure inside was. This is a routine commonly used in many haunted houses.
Five minutes have passed since the time has passed. Su Yize asked Bai Yan: "There are three types of tickets for the haunted house. Do we only play in the haunted house or even escape the room?"
"Although the game only requires us to play the haunted house, there may be clues hidden in the escape room... and the game gave us a full one hundred yuan. It should be hoped that we can play both projects." Bai Yan muttered: "It is a pity the game There is a time limit, and there is a possibility of being trapped in the room when playing escape room. We will ask the boss later if we have enough time, we'd better even play escape room together."
Bai Yan's words came to Su Yize's heart. The two reached an agreement and prepared to wait another five minutes outside the door. If no one came within five minutes, they would go in and buy tickets for the haunted house.
The Emperor paid off, and when five minutes were about to arrive, the haunted house finally attracted two more customers.
"Wenwen, I have never been to a haunted house since I was a kid. There happens to be a house here. You can go in and play with me while you are free today?" a girl with short hair said weakly.
"Wait, let me see the comments..." Wang Ziwen turned on her mobile phone and searched the haunted house on the Internet. After a while she held her mobile phone and frowned and said, "Farewell, Xiaojing, it is said that this haunted house is pitted on the Internet. People, nothing fun. And the props are fake, and the actor's attitude is very perfunctory. Except for the sound performance in the haunted house, it is not scary at all. If you want to play in the haunted house, we go to the house, That family has a good reputation, it is said that the thieves are interesting."
"Isn't it better not to be scary? In fact, I'm not too brave. It's too scary to play." Xu Xiaojing took Wang Ziwen's hand and said coquettishly: "Let's go together. Not only did I never play in a haunted house, I also didn't play in a room escape. Well, this haunted house sounds like you can play two at a time. You know, if I am afraid of playing alone, you should be with me. Can I ask you to play?"
"All right, I'll go in and see if it is as bad as scolded on the Internet." Wang Ziwen laughed.
As a result, the girls walked into the haunted house arm in arm, and when they saw this, the two men looked at each other and followed together.
Seeing the four people coming in, the boss laughed from ear to ear, but before he waited for him to sell the tickets, Xu Xiaojing yelled, shocking everyone.
"Ghost! There is a ghost here!"
She pointed at the female ghost hanging on the beam, shivering with fright.
Bai Yan looked up and the girl pointed at the shadow he had seen before. The haunted house hung the doll from the beam and headed towards the door, taking advantage of the unprepared mentality to scare every guest who came in.
When entering the door, everyone saw the hanged ghost on the beam, but everyone was just shocked, and did not react as much as Xu Xiaojing.
"Hey, I was wrong before. This haunted house is not bad." Wang Ziwen patted her girlfriend on the back so that she should not be so scared: "Boss, I didn't see this female ghost in the photos of the shop. It's very delicate, she hangs it newly?"
Wang Ziwen looked up at the female ghost and found that her girlfriend was not to blame for making a fuss. This female ghost looked very penetrating, her face was pale and red and black blood came out of her eyes and mouth.
The female ghost's eyes were very cold, as if no matter where she stood, she could see her staring at you bitterly, no matter where she went, she couldn't escape her sight.
"The beauty is very discerning. I paid a lot of money to make this female ghost." The young boss said cheerfully: "I have fifty escape rooms and haunted houses. How about a package?"
