Forced into a relationship

As the lights flickered, the NPC with the weird smile disappeared.

Seeing this, several timid girls immediately let out shrill screams. The boys who were traveling with them seemed calm, but they were obviously a little nervous. They hesitated for a moment and no one dared to take the lead.

Seeing this, Han Zhou had no choice but to step forward. He was not afraid of ghosts or anything like that, and he knew that the ghosts in the haunted house were all fake. So he took a miniature flashlight and led the way.

"Follow me."

These words were spoken to Mo Yixia, who nodded slightly and followed him slowly. Seeing that someone dared to take the lead, the others also hurriedly followed.

The team began to move slowly.

Based on his experience in the haunted house last time, Han Zhou reminded as they walked, "To play this, just keep running forward, but be careful that there may be many paths in the middle. If you are not careful, you may get lost. Be careful not to get lost."

Mo Yixia said "hmm". She didn't look scared at all. Instead, she looked curious and kept looking around.

The people behind them were surprised to see the two of them so calm, but also felt fortunate. It is important to have a brave person when playing in a haunted house, otherwise everyone might just stay where they are and not dare to move forward, and would have to leave as soon as they entered the door.

The road ahead was quite peaceful. Although there were scary props everywhere, fortunately no NPC jumped out to scare people.

But there are changes.

The creepy music disappeared at some point, and the road ahead became increasingly dark. The only sound in the corridor was the heavy breathing of the crowd. Everyone had to walk by feeling the walls, and occasionally someone would touch a severed limb or other props, and would immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

However, despite the terrifying atmosphere, people were surprisingly not too scared.

Because the passage was long and narrow, any sound, whether it was human voice or unusual movement, would be extremely clear. Therefore, everyone could hear the conversation of the two people in front of them very clearly, and they looked at each other with strange expressions.

The girl wearing a mask suddenly stopped and looked at the skeleton in front of her and said, "This skeleton is too fake. There are obvious problems with its structure. The heart on the ground doesn't look like a human's. The person who made the prop probably didn't study well in high school."

"Keep your voice down."

The boy in the hat sounded a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Also, this is not a biology class. No matter if it looks like a human or not, just give the heart back to someone else."

"Oh."

Han Zhou really didn't expect that Mo Yixia's style in the haunted house would be like this, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

The NPC in the haunted house might be hiding somewhere now, preparing to scare people. It's okay if this guy is not afraid, but it's not appropriate to say bad things about him in front of others. He might even hear it.

But he had to admit that Mo Yixia was even braver than he had imagined. He had the illusion that this guy wasn't visiting a haunted house, but rather a museum. He wanted to take a close look at everything and looked very interested.

But as long as this guy is happy, there is no rule that says you can't study props in a haunted house. At most, he can stay a little longer.

Considering that dawdling in the front might affect the interest of the players behind, Han Zhou turned around and said to the people behind him: "Sorry, why don't you go first? Our speed may be a bit slow and will delay your progress."

"No, no, no!"

The two girls who were hugging each other behind them hurriedly shook their heads and said a little embarrassedly, "We are timid. If we dared to walk in front, we would have left long ago. Listening to you talk like this makes us less scared... Aren't you afraid?"

"There is some fear, but relatively speaking, we..."

Han Zhou smiled and tried to explain, but before he could finish his words, Mo Yixia turned his head back.

She pointed at a body hanging upside down in front of her and said indifferently, "Look, this body doesn't look very real. Logically speaking, a person hanging upside down shouldn't be in this state."

Han Zhou took a breath and said, "I wanted to ask you before, where did you learn all these messed up things?"

"It's a detective novel. I don't remember the name, but I do remember the content. It's about a man who cheated on his wife and was then hung upside down and bled by his righteous wife. It's quite interesting... By the way, this couple was a teacher-student relationship before they got married, the kind where they were temporary tutors."

Mo Yixia obviously meant something.

Han Zhou laughed dryly: "You made up this story, didn't you?"

"of course not."

Mo Yixia shone the flashlight on her face and said with a smile, "I still remember the method of committing the crime in the novel. Do you want to try it?"

"..."

Seeing the two people in front talking and laughing, most of the people behind them relaxed a lot. Although their topic was a bit scary, it was obviously a good thing to have someone talking in such an environment.

The two girls hugging each other looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

One of the girls whispered, "Yueyue, did you see that just now? That boy is so handsome and brave. He doesn't look scared at all."

The girl called Yueyue looked envious: "That girl is so amazing, she's wearing a school uniform and looks like a high school student. I wish I could have such courage one day..."

The girl consoled him, "It's okay, it's okay. Courage can be trained. Isn't that why we came to the haunted house?"

"hope so……"

Yueyue was a little melancholy. She hugged her bestie tighter while talking and said with a sad face, "I feel like I'm getting more and more timid."

"What she said is true."

At this moment, a voice suddenly took over the conversation, "Of course, a haunted house can help you train your courage. If you don't believe me, you can turn around and look at me."

Yueyue was stunned and felt that the voice was a little strange, as if someone was speaking in a low voice.

And there should be a wall next to her, so why is there a sound?

She turned her head and saw a pale face suddenly popping out from the photo frame on the wall beside her, with blood in the corners of its eyes.

"what!"

The two girls screamed at the same time, and crawled forward, quickly huddling to Han Zhou for shelter. However, it was also strange that the two girls even hugged each other when they ran away, which stunned Han Zhou.

The people behind him were also frightened by this sudden scene, and coupled with the horrific screams coming from the passage behind, they did not dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly ran forward. If they stepped on any stumps or something, they would run even faster.

As NPCs appeared one after another, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"If you get caught, you're dead!"

Hearing the resentful roar behind him, Han Zhou remembered that the background story of this haunted house seemed to be related to hide-and-seek. He thought that the acting skills of these NPCs were really good. This voice was probably a warning that they were progressing too slowly.

So he said to the girl next to him: "The people in the haunted house seem to think we are walking too slowly. You just said something bad about the haunted house. They might chase you. Let's go quickly and follow me closely."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace.

Because the corridor was too dark, he had to feel the wall if he wanted to run. The people behind him were obviously scared. The way they ran away could be described as crawling and rolling. Han Zhou was squeezed so hard that he couldn't move. He couldn't push these people away, so he was almost carried by them all the way.

There were a few creatures among them that were obviously not players. They were dressed quite scary and even squeezed the baseball cap off his head during the chase.

He quickly bent down to pick up his hat, then ran with the group, reminding them as he ran: "Watch your step, don't trip."

Everyone ran away in a mess and no one responded, but someone was heard shouting in anger, "Who the hell touched my butt?"

At this moment, a killer with a chainsaw suddenly jumped out from the darkness ahead. The huge noise of the chainsaw scared everyone and some people even started running back, fearing that this thing was real.

Han Zhou was also shocked to the point of his scalp tingling and cold sweats running down his face. However, it was not because of the NPC's hard work, but because he suddenly realized a very serious problem -

Mo Yixia is lost.

After posting, I made some revisions and the word count increased. The word count for the two chapters is 9,500, which is rounded to 10,000.

Chapter 110 You Are Not Afraid, But I Am

Han Zhou panicked.

He really didn't expect that he would lose Mo Yixia without paying attention. It was clear that the girl was following him not long ago.

Getting lost in a haunted house is not dangerous, but fear is inevitable. You have to know that in such an environment, the courage of one person is completely incomparable to that of a group of people. Even if Mo Yixia showed great courage before, she may not be so calm after being left alone.

Han Zhou's heart began to hang in the air when he thought that the guy was wandering around alone in such a gloomy and scary haunted house.

And given that guy's temper, even if he was scared, he would never let the staff take him out of the haunted house. He might be huddled in a corner, shivering.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. The most important thing right now was obviously to find Mo Yixia as soon as possible. There were many forks in this haunted house. If he didn't go back the same way to find her as soon as possible, it would be difficult if that guy ran away somewhere else in a panic.

Han Zhou dared to stop and lean against the wall to think, but the others did not have such courage. They were frightened by the sudden appearance of the chainsaw killer and screamed loudly. They crawled to the front and disappeared soon.

Soon there were only two people left.

In addition to Han Zhou, there was also the chainsaw killer wearing a scary mask in front of him.

I have to say that this NPC is quite dedicated. He is trying hard to look scary, with the chainsaw buzzing, trying to drive the stranded player forward. Unexpectedly, the other party just stands there motionless, with no fear on his face, as if he doesn't take him seriously at all.

This hurt the NPC who played the murderer a lot.

Han Zhou didn't mean to disrespect him. He was just trying to recall when he last saw Mo Yixia.

The haunted house was always very dark, and everyone had to hold on to the wall before they dared to move. He recalled that at least before the haunted house NPC appeared, Mo Yixia had always been following him closely.

Then the other party obviously got lost after the NPC appeared.

As everyone was frightened and ran around, the scene became chaotic. Not only him, but Mo Yixia also seemed to be squeezed out of her original position by the running crowd, and then gradually moved away from him.

As for when that guy disappeared, Han Zhou had no idea. He didn't pay much attention at the time, so he couldn't remember it even if he thought about it now.

He felt a little guilty. He was obviously responsible for Mo Yixia's getting lost. It was because he trusted that guy too much and thought that he would always be by his side. As a result, he didn't pay too much attention to his movements, which eventually led to their separation.

Of the two girls he was most familiar with, Gu Zheng had amazing physical fitness and was not afraid of anything except ghosts. Not to mention protecting her, he could even let her protect him in return;

Mo Yixia, on the other hand, always behaved very calmly, even in a haunted house, and seemed to be fearless of nothing at all.

How to say it, these two guys are too reliable, so he sometimes subconsciously ignores the fact that the other party is actually a relatively weak girl.

If he had been more careful at the time, such a thing as losing Mo Yixia would not have happened.

But that guy wasn't the type who liked to shout. Even though he was pushed away, he didn't say a word. I didn't know if he was too reserved to speak or too calm to care.

Han Zhou pondered for a moment. It was obvious that Mo Yixia was not reserved. If he really wanted her to come back, he would probably even call her husband. So there must be another reason...

He suddenly remembered something. In his memory, when everyone was running away, Mo Yixia seemed to have reached out her hand to him, but before he could react, she pulled her hand back, and then her steps slowed down.

Han Zhou collected his thoughts. Now was not the time to waste time. The place where Mo Yixia got lost was not far behind him. If he ran faster, he would find her soon. He remembered the return route and immediately ran back by feeling the wall.

Seeing this, the chainsaw killer who had been performing in front of him for a long time without any results could no longer hold back, thinking, this tourist not only treated me as air, but could it be that he couldn't tell the direction?

So he lowered his voice and kindly reminded: "It's best not to get separated from your companions in the village. You should go in that direction, hehehe..."

He pointed to the other side of the corridor, which was the direction everyone was fleeing. Although it was a kind reminder, he still did not forget to let out a hideous laugh, always maintaining his character as a moody murderer.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I'm going back to look for my lost companions now."

Han Zhou spoke very quickly. He was worried that if he dawdled any longer, Mo Yixia might go further and further astray. As he spoke, he held onto the wall and ran away.

……

At the same time, Mo Yixia, who was alone, was walking slowly in the dark corridor.

When she was running just now, she was tripped by something. She wanted to hold on to the wall but accidentally pushed open a door and stumbled inside. She was frightened by the NPC hiding in the room. When she walked out of the door, she found that Han Zhou was gone.
