Chapter 23 The Courage That Was Repeatedly Summoned

Is it a crumpled piece of paper?
Liu Miaomiao ran over and picked up a piece of paper. It read, "I don't want to study. Are children who don't want to study bad children?"

As they finished reading that line, another line appeared in the previously blank space: "Please turn off the desk lamp for me, I don't want to do my homework."

"Lily, shouldn't we turn off the desk lamp?"

Liu Miaomiao reached out to press the switch, and clicked it. The switch was clearly pressed, but the desk lamp was still on.

"Is this switch broken?" Zhou Lili went over and tried twice more, but still couldn't turn off the lamp. Wang Xiaobai also went over to try it and looked for the socket the lamp was connected to, but it was very strange.

"This lamp isn't connected to a power source, so how is it lit? There's also no place to install batteries!"

"Look everyone, this desk lamp can't be turned off!"

More words appeared on the paper: "Why can't I turn off the desk lamp? Why am I being forced to study? Waaaaah... I don't want to study, I want to run away from home."

The last character "走" (walk) seemed to have been written in haste, with the last stroke elongated. Suddenly, everyone heard a series of thumping sounds.

Clang, clang, clang.

It felt as if someone was walking around the room.

But the room didn't look very big, only about 30 square meters, with a closed cabinet, a bookshelf and a desk, and a special place to put candles.

Some other places were quite empty.

What's hanging on this wall?

Zhang Qiongyang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, and the group saw a painting hanging on the wall, a black and white ink painting with a cow in the middle.

A cow that doesn't look very big?
"What is that ox doing? Why is it holding a whip?"

"What cow? This is clearly a child."

When the four people looked at the paintings on the wall, they all saw different patterns.

The four looked at each other, bewildered. "Everyone, take out your phones and take pictures! I refuse to believe this painting isn't different!"

When they took out their phones to take pictures, the photos showed that the wall was empty.

But as they looked closely, there was indeed a painting hanging on the wall.

"Does anyone know what this new technology is? Why do I feel uneasy?"

Zhou Lili shook her head, saying she had never heard of it or seen it before.

The others shook their heads as well.

I'm starting to feel that this place is a bit eerie.

"How about we go outside? I'm still a little scared..."

But just as they turned around, the door they had come in through suddenly closed.

Another note appeared next to the lamp, which read, "Waaah, I'm so cold, sisters, you have to find me!"

"Yeah! Didn't the streamer say there were staff members in this instance? So this was all the staff's doing! It scared me to death! This place is more terrifying than a haunted house!"

"So the staff are hiding in this room? Let's look around some more. I can even write a guide to the Minotaur Mystery this time!"

Emboldened once again, the four searched the house thoroughly, but found nothing.

Where exactly are the staff hiding?

The staff they need to find must be the lost child mentioned in the story.

"I think finding that child will allow us to pass the level. The horror of this dungeon lies in its atmosphere. The streamer must be an expert in psychology! He found out what ordinary people are most afraid of and used it, then put it in the dungeon! The appearance of these words can be explained by physical and chemical principles. The person must have escaped through the mechanism!"

"It's this painting on the wall that's a bit strange. Let's come back and look at it after we finish the game."

As the four pushed open the door to leave, they did not see a small bull's head standing behind them.

"Hehe~" "Who!"

The four immediately turned around, only to feel something float past their eyes, as if something with two horns had run out of the room behind them.
But when I looked closely, I couldn't see anything.

"Xiaobai, did you see that?"

Wang Xiaobai nodded with wide eyes, then plopped down on the ground. "Can...can a person be this fast?"

Liu Miaomiao was also frightened and tightly grabbed Zhang Qiongyang's arm.

Zhou Lili looked around, "This is probably the brilliance of the dungeon; the atmosphere is so strong, it makes you feel like you're actually there. Is it similar to the principle of a Ferris wheel? But I really can't explain Ferris wheels..."

When the Ferris wheel was mentioned, all four of them fell silent for a moment.

The sound of "ding-a-ling" rang out, and the four of them saw a string of wind chimes fall down from beside the large white lantern.

But this time, no one dared to pick it up.

Seeing that no one was going to pick it up, the wind chime was blown away by the wind.

Paper fluttered down from the roof: "Why hasn't anyone come looking for me yet? I'm so cold and so hungry! Whoever finds me will surely become rich!"

The four people, "..."

The announcer's voice came from outside the door, saying that those who pass the test can ride the Ferris wheel for free once.

"Don't you want to get rich, sister?"

The children's voices suddenly surged into the four people's ears from all directions, echoing like a tide.

Doesn't my sister want to get rich?
Doesn't my sister want to get rich?
Then the shadow seemed to enter the main house.

The four were terrified, but now they were in a bind. They knew it wasn't a ghost, yet they were still terrified, even though they knew there were no ghosts in the world.

"Waaaaah, next time I'm definitely going to invite a few guys to come and play together! The atmosphere the streamer created is so scary!" The four of them held hands, mustered up their courage, and stepped forward to kick open the door to the main house.

Don't ask why we don't use our hands. We're using our hands to hold hands, otherwise we'd be scared.

Song Zhizhi, who was waiting outside, saw Xiao Niu suddenly appear in front of her. "Sister, they seem very scared. Should I stop scaring them?"

"Don't be scared, don't be scared. Please don't let anything happen. Make the task easier and give any one of them a chance to complete it."

To be honest, if Song Zhizhi didn't have a system of her own and wasn't Xiao Niu's older sister, she would also be scared in a place like this.

Little Niu pouted, "Okay, then I'll have them finish as soon as possible."

After the calf disappeared.

The four of them pushed aside the barriers and stood in the main house, where they found two pieces of paper with different tasks written on them, clearly stating that they had to split into two groups.

"This must be because the streamer communicated and adjusted with the staff, feeling that four people together wouldn't be scared! What does this mean?"

"This proves that all of this is fake!"

The four men's courage surged once again!
Zhou Lili and Zhang Qiongyang were together, and Wang Xiaobai and Liu Miaomiao were together.

“Our mission is to find that child’s favorite toy,” Zhou Lili repeated the words on her note.

"We need to find where the child is hiding. Is this because they think we're too stupid, so they've adjusted the difficulty level?"

The four of them looked at each other.

It seems like I've been looked down upon!

“We didn’t seem to notice the toys earlier. Let’s go look in the side rooms on both sides. Miao Miao and Xiao Bai, you two take a good look in the main room and see where people can hide and where there are traps.”

Just as Zhou Lili and Zhang Qiongyang left, a voice suddenly came from behind Liu Miaomiao, "Pretty sister, I'm here."

The two men froze, slowly turned around, and when they saw the calf, they trembled and fainted!
