The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 115: Fierce Fight! Seven Wonders of Campus! (12)

"Help! Is anyone there? I don't want to play anymore! What the hell is this place? Why can't I get out no matter how hard I try?"

On the surveillance screen, as the brightness of the special emergency light gradually dimmed, Hasegawa's voice became more and more panicked.

When they first came in, Hasegawa thought that everything was arranged similarly to before. He relied on his skill and courage, so he dispersed the team and planned to complete the level in the most efficient way. But gradually, they felt something was wrong. It was a strong sense of disharmony. The surrounding scenery was obviously normal. Even this time, the flashlight was cancelled and an emergency light was set up at intervals to illuminate the environment. Even the NPCs reduced the number of chases and sudden scares. Most of them were just a glimpse, and they did not confront them head-on, so they did not even have the opportunity to tease the NPCs.

At first they thought it was nothing special, but as the game progressed, the surrounding environment began to make them gradually breathless, so oppressive that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats, and sweat slowly seeped out of their foreheads. They couldn't even tell what was wrong, but they felt very panicked, as if a disaster was about to happen. Moreover, after walking for most of the day, they couldn't even run into their companions at all, as if everyone else had disappeared.

Finally, Hasegawa couldn't walk anymore, so he could only stay under the emergency lights in the corridor, shouting for help. Even if he would be laughed at by his companions after he went out, he didn't want to stay here.

"Haha, he was really scared." The store manager tried to suppress his laughter and leaned close to the microphone and said, "Please don't worry, customer. Stay where you are. The staff will take you out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Zheng opened the secret door, walked out with a flashlight, and led Hasegawa out through the safe passage. This time he did not dress up as a ghost to scare people, because he felt that with his level, plus the new layout, he could scare people to have a heart attack. It would not be fun if the guests were scared to death in the haunted house.

When Hasegawa went out, he found that he was the last one to come out, and his companions had been waiting outside for a long time.

"You... also asked for help?" Hasegawa said awkwardly.

"Ah? Are you also..." The four of them looked at each other, feeling a sense of defeat. As haunted house enthusiasts, they actually lost.

"What a great success!" In the monitoring room, the store manager jumped up with joy and shouted loudly. He excitedly raised his palm to Qian Xiaoyi and said, "Teacher Qian, this is really amazing. We succeeded."

Qian Xiaoyi high-fived the store manager and said proudly, "Feng Shui, isn't it amazing?"

The structure of the horror house is similar to other haunted houses. They are all based on a large space, and then use various combinable partitions and stairs to form each layout. Therefore, it is very simple to change the room structure, so Qian Xiaoyi took advantage of this and made some adjustments to the store manager's layout according to certain formations, which is equivalent to setting up a formation. Unlike the store manager, he doesn't know how to scare people and how to make customers feel motivated to play, but he knows how to harm people through Feng Shui layout. The store manager is responsible for the theme of the haunted house, mainly the gameplay design, and the two achieved excellent results in their first cooperation. When players go deep into this formation, their senses will be blinded and they will be stimulated by some subtle stimulations, which will make them subconsciously mistakenly believe that they are in a very dangerous environment, so the body will naturally issue warnings, panic, cold sweats and other reactions. This strong sense of uneasiness will constantly urge the players to leave here quickly. The longer they stay, the stronger this sense of uneasiness will be, which is why they are flustered.

The NPCs who play ghosts will hide in the "life gate" position of the formation, observe the haunted house from different angles, and attack only when necessary, which greatly reduces the impact of employees staying in the house for a long time. He also left many emergency lights in the house, so that frightened guests can wait for rescue under the bright lights, which is equivalent to a safe area, so that the formation will not really hurt those sensitive and timid guests and cause mental trauma.

For those guests who are particularly brave, the employees playing ghosts will increase their efforts, secretly move the partitions, and implement the "formation change" arranged by Qian Xiaoyi, so that those brave guests will look back and find that they are lost. Who wouldn't panic?
In the following time, the two of them squatted in the monitoring room, observing the guests' funny reactions, and even watched the monitoring as a TV program while eating. Of course, they did it not just for fun, but mainly to see if there were any shortcomings that could be improved.

On this day, the horror house created the record of the highest frequency of screams in a single day. Many guests who were talking and laughing at the beginning came out with trembling hands and feet, and several were scared to tears. They opened their mobile phones tremblingly, updated the information of the horror house on their personal homepages, and praised it generously. These people all had the same mentality, that is - I must not be the only one who was scared!
As a result, in the small circle of haunted house enthusiasts, the horror index rating of the horror house increased significantly, and a group of people were eager to try it out, wanting to see what was so magical about this haunted house. As a result, after two days, no one walked out with a smile.

Qian Xiaoyi and the store manager made persistent efforts, constantly debugging and improving over the past few days, and finally on the fifth day they improved the current version of the haunted house to perfection. The store manager has regarded Qian Xiaoyi as a like-minded partner, and sincerely invited him to become a special consultant for the horror house, saying that he would ask him to come and help with the decoration whenever the subject matter changes in the future. So Lingkong Agency has gained another regular customer.

Listening to the screams on the surveillance screen, the store manager felt as if he had heard the sweet sound of heaven. These sounds were the best compliment to his career. Just as he was still immersed in joy, a question suddenly popped up in his mind: "Wait... did I forget something?"

"Uncle, why are you still here?" Takahashi Aiko opened the door of the monitoring room and said in panic: "Master Gui Teng is here. Didn't I tell you before?"

"Oh, right! Master Gui Teng is coming today!" The store manager slapped his forehead. He had so much fun decorating the haunted house these days that he forgot about it. So he asked, "Where is Teacher Qian?"

"He just went to decorate the haunted house with A Zheng." Takahashi Aiko said with a twinkle in her eyes. Knowing that Qian Xiaoyi helped to improve the haunted house, she no longer dared to say anything bad about Qian Xiaoyi. The reason was not her. Before, because she did not believe Qian Xiaoyi's words, she did not stand in a specific position, but worked according to the original way. As a result, she became inexplicably panicked after a while. As an employee of the haunted house, she had never had this feeling before. This situation could not be done by an inexperienced and liar exorcist.

"Forget it, Master Gui Teng is in the office, right? I'll go see him." The store manager sighed. He really regretted it now. Why did he spread rumors when he had nothing to do? But meeting Teacher Qian later was a blessing in disguise. I hope there won't be any accidents today.
