Become a super charger

So what is this thing...

Chapter 276, Blockage

"Everyone, the rules here are very simple..." The young lady in charge of giving instructions glanced at us and confirmed that each of us had a piece of paper before continuing.

"The note in our hands contains a task. Only by following the task can we obtain the clearance item and then exit through the clearance door..."

She talked a lot, mostly about safety precautions and the like, and I didn't really pay attention to what she said.

Because most of my attention is on the breath that I sense, that is inside.

"Okay, now that you all understand, then let's all go in. Have fun playing the game!" After she said that, she made way for the entrance and gestured for us to go in.

I followed behind these dozen people and was the last one to go in. Then I took out the task note.

Let me see...In the third passage, find a kitchen knife and give it to the executioner in the first passage, then you can get the pass item.

What the hell...decryption?

It is not a simple haunted house, but a playful haunted house similar to a puzzle-solving one. Everyone's task should be different. There are four channels in total, and people are basically evenly divided into these channels.

Wait...something's wrong! This feeling?

"Huh? No! Come back! Everyone come back!" I suddenly shouted for everyone to come back, and then ran towards the main door through which we had just entered.

"What's wrong little sister?"

"Is this your mission?"

"Ah? Is something wrong?"

They were all young people. After hearing my shouting, several people who were about to go in came back from the entrance. They looked at me with curious and puzzled expressions, wanting to know why I suddenly yelled.

"Boom...boom..."

I didn't answer why they were asked to come back, but pushed and banged on the door to open it.

"The door can't be opened!" I understood something after I kicked it with a slight attached energy.

Behind the door is no longer the entrance when I came in.

Now even if I use more energy to forcibly destroy this door, I can't get out. There is only nothingness behind the door. If my perception is correct, this space has been isolated.

"Huh? Why? Did they close the door?"

"To create atmosphere? Too professional."

"Huh! I really can't open it..."

They were talking at once while I was rummaging through my things with a frown on my face.

The coin couldn't bring me back, the headphones couldn't contact Korolo, and there was no signal on my cell phone.

It can be confirmed that this area of ​​space, which is of unknown size, has been stripped away, just like the sea area a few days ago.

Wow... Why do I always encounter these things every day... I have to face some situation every now and then, don’t I get to rest?

I only go out once in a while...

"Ahem...um, listen to me!" I thought about it, and walked to the front of the team while they were still distracted by the question of why the door couldn't be opened.

"Hey? Little sister?"

"Is there anything you need?"

"Damn it, why is the door so strong?"

"What about the service... staff? Are they deaf?"

Maybe my voice wasn’t loud enough, or maybe it didn’t have much of a deterrent effect, so only a few people noticed me, and most of them were women.

"Huh...I'm telling you...just listen to me!" I took a deep breath and raised my voice a lot, probably enough for everyone to hear me.

"What do you want to say, little guy?"

"What else are you talking about? Go and complete the mission!"

"That's right, people have mentioned immersive experience."

Although most people did not act rashly because they did not understand why, perhaps because of the environment here, only the gate entrance had a dim fluorescent light, and there was almost no light in the other passages. Only some indicator lights were on so that people could see the road clearly.

Most people here are afraid of the dark and don't want to go directly into those passages.

But there are timid ones and there are brave ones. Just like the ones who just spoke, two men and one woman, they broke away from the crowd and went straight into the two passages blocking me behind them.

"Go back!" I pointed at them expressionlessly and told them to go back.

"I say... there's no need for that... little sister, this is just to create the atmosphere..." said the woman.

"No, there is a problem here. Don't go in, you will lose your lives." I continued to explain to them.

The smell inside became more and more complicated, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the disgusting smell. Although it was not the smell of a gas, it was indeed what was sensed.

It's getting more and more serious. There are definitely monsters in there, and there are definitely a lot of them.

There are four entrances here. If I guard them...

"Puchi...kid? Have you watched too many movies? This is a legitimate business." One of the two men who came out sneered and walked up to me and said.

"Go back, I'm serious!"

"Huh? Why would you let me go back?"

"Are you dreaming, kid? Where are your family? Don't waste everyone's time!" The man next to him also came forward and said, and the two of them were about to pass by me.

As a result, the dozen or so people behind them also talked about wanting to leave to complete their tasks.

"Go back! I want you to live, but you insist on dying, right?" I grabbed the clothes of the two men who walked next to me and threw them back with a little force.

They were stunned and staggered backwards with expressions of disbelief, until they were caught by several people and stopped their retreat.

"Are you crazy?"

"This child is sick, please ignore her!"

Hiss... You can't just leave this person alone, right? But... um... Is it because my appearance is not convincing? Or...

Oh yeah... let me think, maybe I didn't explain clearly what's going on here?

That’s true... Just saying that there is a problem here is certainly not convincing.

"Well, everyone, listen to me." I tried to slow down my tone, as gentle as a kindergarten teacher supervising small children.

"This is a special situation. This is no longer a haunted house. Uh... it's a haunted house... but there are some real ghost things in it that can kill people. I don't recommend you go in unless one of you doesn't want to live anymore."

They were all young and intelligent. At least they were willing to listen to me finish my words. Even the two guys who were about to have a conflict with me just now listened to me finish my words.

Hmm... That's rare! Sure enough, it is possible for everyone to talk calmly...

"really?"

"How can there be such a thing? What is going on?"

"That's better! Let me..."

But... I guess only one-third of people believe it...

"Oh! I understand! Little boy, you must be the NPC here! Used to enhance our gaming experience!"

"Oh yeah! It seems so!"

"Increase the difficulty of completing our mission?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The last group of people who made it through the level must have had an NPC obstructing them!"

"Yeah, yeah, you see she doesn't have any companions. How is it possible for a child to come here to play by herself... Do you know her?"

With one clever remark, things started to go in an uncontrollable direction.

Chapter 277: Disguise

This is a problem. After all, they are still a group of young people. It is inevitable that they have their own ideas and are difficult to control.

"Listen to me, I'm not an NPC, and I'm not obstructing your mission..." I don't have the ability to deceive people, so I can only explain it to myself with great effort.

"Little boy! You've already been exposed! No need to explain!"

"You must be an NPC! It's okay, I don't ask you to tell me how to clear the game, we can just play normally."

"Yeah, yeah, just play normally. So kid, what do you think we should do next?"

"Are you stupid? You don't follow your own mission but listen to her?"

They don't even listen! They all have their own ideas, ahhhh, so angry...

"The current rule is that you cannot leave my side! You cannot leave my surroundings and act on your own!" Since you all think I'm an NPC...then can't I just state a rule?

I'm so... smart.

"Can't leave her side?"

“This is a bit difficult…”

"Tell me, what will happen if we don't follow this rule? Will we fail to pass the level?"

"Ah... this rule... is not right. It conflicts with the mission..."

Following my self-deprecating words, most of them apparently thought that I must be an NPC who came to obstruct them.

Although some of them still have their own ideas, they are all discussing with their friends or partners, thinking about what they should do next.

Young brains make their thinking more active and they think more, but this also makes them unwilling to act rashly.

Everyone gathered at the entrance, no one was acting alone here.

Phew... Does this mean...the goal has been achieved?

"What are they doing outside? Why aren't they opening the door?"

"It must be because of the game, right? They won't let me open the door?"

"Come on, they can definitely hear us, but didn't I say I gave up the game? What the hell are they doing? Pretending to be deaf and not hear anything?"

The two people I threw back at the beginning were not angry. Instead, they talked calmly to the outside world at the other end of the door.

My keen hearing heard them say they were going outside to file a complaint or something.

"Stop talking. I'm serious. It's not game time anymore. Don't think too much. Just stay in this area and don't wander around, okay?" They were all civilized people, so I spoke to them in a civilized manner as well.

As long as they don't wander around, the atmosphere in here is getting weirder and weirder, and there's a feeling that's hard to describe.

Anyway, I just need to keep everyone within my field of vision...

By the way...should we let two of them go and let them explore the way? Even if they die, it will serve as a warning to everyone...

No no no...How can you have such dark thoughts...

"Then our mission..."

"Dong..."

The woman who had just asked the question had not yet finished her words when the lights in the space suddenly disappeared.

The dim lights that were originally just to set off the atmosphere were turned off, along with the small fluorescent lights that served as indicator lights. Only the lights from some people's cell phones became the light source.

Ha...want to play this game?

"Everyone turn on your flashlights! Hurry up!" I commanded, and took the lead in turning on the flashlight on my cell phone and holding it up to shine on them.

"it is good!"

"Quick, husband, turn on the flashlight."

"Why did you suddenly turn off the lights?"

"Flashlight...Flashlight...turn on!"

There was a rustling sound, and soon flashlights lit up one by one. They held up their phones to illuminate all directions, making this place extremely bright.

"One... two... three, four... eighteen people..." I quickly counted the number of people, including myself, there were eighteen people in total, not one missing.
