EBE Chapter 190 Change
Chapter 190 Change
It was already three in the morning when three figures stopped and stared at the tall haunted house in front of them.
Yu Zhi clutched the note Jiang Qi had given her tightly. It didn't contain a specific address, but rather a description of a haunted house.
The words "haunted house" were written crookedly, but you could still tell that the person who wrote them had neat handwriting.
This means letting them visit the haunted house.
The three of them clearly found it incredible, but they did as instructed anyway.
"President Yu, this haunted house looks really creepy. Are we sure we want to go in?"
"Where are the ticket inspectors? How are we supposed to get around?"
The two disabled people supported each other and started discussing the matter animatedly.
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "Since that strange person said he was coming here, then there must be no problem."
Jerry pushed open the door of the haunted house and turned to look at the three people who were looking around, with seven children beside them.
She sighed and rubbed her forehead; these three people looked a bit silly.
I really don't understand why he would help these stupid players.
Although she used to be a player, unfortunately she isn't anymore.
"Welcome to the haunted house, esteemed guest. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Jerry appeared in front of the three of them in a flash, his nose twitching almost imperceptibly.
Yes, it's that familiar scent from that person.
The shrill voice instantly drew their attention.
One person was so frightened that they jumped three feet high, while the other person's bones were almost broken from being squeezed so tightly.
The world where only he was injured has been achieved.
Receiving her teammate's frantic hints, Yu Zhi clapped her hands and said, "Qingqing, stop pinching him, he's still injured."
"President Yu, you know I can't control myself."
After Qingqing finished speaking, she was embarrassed and put her hand down, and kept glancing at the ticket inspector Jerry.
She's terrified of animals like rats; they're scary.
Yu Zhi nodded to the ticket inspector who was wearing a rat headgear.
"Hello, we're here to visit the haunted house. Here are our tickets."
Jerry took the tickets and turned to lead the way for them.
"You guys come with me."
Along the way, Jerry explained the precautions to them before leading them into the haunted house.
"Don't be nervous, our staff are all very lovely."
Pushing open a dark, icy door, a blast of cold air seeped straight into my bones.
The three of them sneezed simultaneously, and Jerry's deep, unfathomable eyes glanced at them inadvertently.
One person had white bandages wrapped around their arms and neck, while the other two were covered in dried blood, looking quite pitiful.
"Go in, be careful."
"it is good."
The three of them stared blankly at Jerry's departing figure. It was quite novel for an NPC to take the initiative to care about them.
The gate was wide open, as if welcoming visitors.
"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, let's go inside and see what the mission is."
As soon as the three of them stepped into the room, the door behind them slammed shut.
The room contained only a small mirror, and the overhead light flickered on and off.
The atmosphere of terror was created very well; the only scary thing was the staff making faces in the mirror.
The three of them weren't exactly mentally strong, but they gradually got used to it after watching for a while.
"Is this what a haunted house is all about? It only scares us with the reflection in the mirrors?"
Qingqing asked suspiciously.
Yu Zhi was also completely confused. A lot of time had passed, and all she could see were the ghostly faces that occasionally appeared in the mirror; nothing else.
"Qi An, have you noticed anything amiss?"
Qi An shook his head. "It seems there isn't anything. Although it's pitch black all around, the occasional light that comes on allows us to see the layout of the room. Apart from this mirror, there's nothing else."
"But I still feel it's not that simple."
Faintly, Yu Zhi heard slightly familiar footsteps coming from outside the door.
Shh, don't talk! It sounds like someone's coming from outside.
The three of them silently squatted down against the wall, their hearts pounding in their throats.
The footsteps grew heavier, and with a click, the door slowly opened from the outside in.
A tall figure loomed over them, a figure that Qingqing knew all too well—that iconic rat head.
It's a ticket inspector!
"Time's up. Your haunted house tour is over. Come with me."
Yu Zhi and Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them stood up and followed Jerry out of the haunted house.
Even after leaving the haunted house, the three still felt as if they were in a dream.
Only when they received their stamped tickets did they truly feel that their feet were on solid ground.
This time, they were completely unharmed.
It seems that the faceless monster can still be trusted.
Qingqing and Qi An changed their opinion of the faceless monster who claimed to be helpful.
Moreover, their Dawn Guild was the second to complete the mission today.
It was like they got a lucky break.
Back at their lodgings, the three of them were exhausted and fell asleep.
Snuggled up in bed with them were their childhood friends, not one was missing.
At 4:30 a.m., the red moon was barely visible, hidden behind the clouds.
Under the moonlight, the group entered the lobby of their residence, looking dejected.
They were all inevitably stained with drops of blood.
Some players couldn't help but start cursing, shifting blame to each other, "Damn it, it's all your fault for choosing that stupid photo studio to visit, now look what happened..."
"I already find you annoying, why are you cursing me? If you're not good enough, don't come here!"
In the end, it was the chairman who acted as peacemaker, sternly interrupting them.
"Alright, stop arguing. Instead of wasting time arguing, you should think about what to do tomorrow."
The two immediately fell silent and just kept walking forward with their heads down.
Another day has passed, and some players are still feeling groggy after waking up.
"How many days is it in the dungeon? I really want it to end soon. Can I just end it all with one strike?"
"It seems like it's only the third day. Don't say that, or the president will yell at you."
"These flowers are quite pretty, put them by my bedside."
"..."
Lu Zili was the first to get up, and he stared at Xiao Jiangqi's sleeping face for a long time.
Xiao Lu leaned against the windowsill, speaking in a teasing tone.
"Brother, it's rare to see you so affectionate. Why do you hit and scold me?"
"Why don't you leave yet?"
Lu Zhi frowned impatiently, lowered his eyelashes, and looked away.
Xiao Jiangqi slowly woke up and sat up, still sleepy.
"It's only 9:30 now, what are you two talking about?"
"Wow, brother, you're finally awake! Are you hungry or thirsty?"
Xiao Lu immediately changed his expression and eagerly stepped forward to greet him.
Xiao Jiangqi seemed oblivious, pulling the blanket up to cover his face.
Offering unsolicited favors is definitely not a good thing.
Lu Zhi snorted coldly, walked quietly, and gently closed the door before heading to the hall.
Apart from them, the rest of the people showed no signs of waking up.
It's best not to bother them.
Feeling bored, Xiao Lu turned around and went back to the window to continue looking at the scenery.
Now, this body restricts his movements, and he can't find anything fun to do.
Moreover, the soul fragment was very clever, hiding it very well.
Every time I try to grab it, I miss.
It's really difficult.
