Chapter 74 Ghosts Scaring Ghosts
As soon as the sound faded, a pin drop could be heard in the monitoring room.
As if a cold wave had struck, both of them felt a chill, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their legs were even trembling uncontrollably.
The two of them just looked at each other, neither of them speaking first, while the battle continued on the monitor screen.
Inside the cramped room, the two sides fought fiercely, with blood-stained photos fluttering wildly in the air and surrounding objects shattering.
Although there was no sound from the monitoring system, the intensity of the battle was evident from the visuals alone.
".go."
After an unknown amount of time, the young man spoke to his male colleague.
"Go in and check on them quickly, don't let them keep fighting. I'll call the boss."
Upon hearing this, the male colleague's face turned green. "Why aren't you going?!"
"Nonsense, you don't have the boss's phone number!" The young man shakily pulled out his phone, almost dropping it. "Hurry up, I'm watching you on the security camera."
"I'm not going, you go!" The male colleague backed away, the fear in his eyes almost tangible. "There's a ghost in there!"
"What ghost?!"
The young man forced himself to calm down. He looked at the phone and several banknotes in his hand, carefully examined them, and after confirming that the banknotes were not ghost money, he continued.
"Who fights ghosts like that?! I bet someone sneaked in while you were recovering, and the new guy got scared, and the two of them started fighting over nothing."
The more the young man talked, the more likely it seemed, since he had mentioned several times before going in that the theme was a puzzle game.
In this situation, any guest who is suddenly startled by another person would be extremely angry, and it would be understandable if a fight broke out.
"But..." The male colleague was a little confused. He really wanted to say that no one would follow him in when he was recovering.
But now, he's starting to have some doubts.
"No buts, those wall panels aren't very sturdy to begin with. If the speaker gets damaged, we're doomed. There are so many customers waiting in line."
The young man suddenly waved his hand.
"Go now!"
Hearing this, the male colleague had no choice but to accept that the other person was the manager, and a higher-ranking official can always have an advantage.
Gritting his teeth, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and ran towards the employee entrance.
However, it must be admitted that after this exchange, his original fear dissipated considerably, but what followed was a strong sense of tension.
I wonder if those two guys on the other side got carried away and beat themselves up too.
Despite his nervousness, the male colleague moved quickly, and soon he entered the second room through a dark, narrow, single-person passage.
The staff passages in the escape room don't connect to all the rooms. The photo studio has two passages, leading to the second and fourth rooms respectively.
The room where martial arts films are shown is the third room, and it's faster to go through the second passage.
As soon as he poked his head out, the male colleague was startled by the mannequin head in front of him.
Looking around, you can see that everything in the third room has been thrown into the second room, and various mannequins are lying haphazardly on the floor.
The male colleague didn't know where he got the courage.
"Stop hitting him! Please stop hitting him!"
With loud background music playing, he wasn't sure if the other person could hear him, so he could only shout as he ran toward the third room.
They quickly arrived at the door, but the expected free-fighting did not occur; the entire photo developing room was completely silent.
"I"
The male colleague opened his mouth, then subconsciously looked at the painting on the wall not far away—that was the passage to the fourth room, which required players to solve a puzzle to open. Now there was no sign of it being opened, and the door was tightly closed.
"What the hell?"
Looking at the messy yet empty scene before him, the male colleague's mind went completely blank.
(Hey! Where are you!?)
Just then, the young man's voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie.
The sudden sound made the male colleague's legs go weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
He held the walkie-talkie with trembling hands.
"Nobody's here! Nobody's here!!"
(What did you say? What do you mean there's no one here?)
The young man's voice came again.
(I've already spoken to the boss. He has to pay for all the broken stuff. Keep an eye on them and don't let them run away. The boss will be here soon.)
My male colleague was almost in tears.
"There's nobody at XX!!"
As they were talking, a creaking sound came from behind them. The male colleague jumped up and turned around to face a broken stool next to him.
It turned out to be the second room, where a mannequin's arm had fallen to the ground.
Hearing his male colleague scream over the walkie-talkie, and seeing that the other person didn't seem to be joking, the young man quickly looked up, only to find that the monitor screen was covered by something.
The latest novel is first published here!
(Hey, are you okay?)
(Are you still there?)
(I can't see you!)
"I am XXX, XXXXX!!"
Driven by extreme fear, all sorts of vile and offensive language emerged.
The eerie atmosphere made the male colleague feel like a frightened bird; he kept backing away as he entered the third room.
In the dim light, everything in front of him was blurry. The male colleague felt his heart pounding, and the once familiar, enclosed room suddenly felt oppressive.
There was a jumble of random things under his feet, and he dared not move too fast for fear of tripping over them.
He didn't understand. He clearly saw two people fighting in the surveillance footage, so how could they disappear into thin air after he came in?
There are many entrances and exits, but I came from the second room. The fourth room has not been opened, so the other party must still be in this room.
But how can someone hide in such a small room?!
Moreover, the places where people could hide have been destroyed; the large cabinet where the mannequins were placed has now been dismantled and lies horizontally in the middle of the room.
Is it
Really ghost?
Once the idea pops into your head, it's impossible to shake it off.
The male colleague's throat moved, and in a moment of concentration, he retreated all the way to the edge of the room.
Just then, a sound of water suddenly came from behind.
「!?」
I turned around abruptly and saw the table where the photos were soaking.
This should be the only thing left in the room that wasn't affected by the battle. The 'blood' and photos inside were intact, and his pale face was reflected in the water.
Gazing at his reflection in the water, and at the frightening photos underwater, the male colleague's heart pounded.
"Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, and fairness."
On the water's surface, faint ripples swayed, and the male colleague's pupils gradually contracted.
He saw his reflection in the water slowly distorting, and a strange, disheveled creature appeared before him.
The male colleague's mouth dropped open.
The ghostly figure even reached out its hand towards him, as if trying to grab him inside.
The next moment, a blood-curdling scream echoed throughout the secret room.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"
