Chapter 343 Haunted House
As far as I can remember, I've only been to a haunted house once.
I went there with Li Zi.
At that time, we were still in junior high school. Both of us had good grades and were admitted to the local school with the highest admission rate in advance, so we didn't have any study pressure.
Later, if we hadn't agreed to go to a good university in Tokyo together, we wouldn't have had to work so hard... Anyway, when we didn't have classes on the weekend, we took a bus to the newly built amusement park.
Of course, the facilities in such a small place are not very fancy. The roller coaster is low and short, and the total length is no more than 100 meters. Basically, you will come down before you can even make a sound after sitting on it. Even your hair won’t be messed up.
You can jump directly from a bungee jumping machine without dying, the carousel doesn't rotate, and there are not even safety belts on the pirate ship, so you have to hang on to the railings and swing, not to mention the so-called Ferris wheel which is just a sightseeing cable car with an extra circle.
The only thing that looked scary was the haunted house in the middle, built with a shed.
There was no such thing as NPCs at that time, there were just scary props and sound effects. There was only one road along the way, and you would be considered to have passed the level if you walked along it.
That guy was both inexperienced and playful. He was so scared that his legs went limp before he even reached the ticket office. His two hands trembled as he placed them on my arms. He closed his eyes tightly and leaned against me like he was playing dead without saying a word.
I thought I was much braver than her, so after paying for the tickets, I led the group inside through the entrance.
I originally thought that she would at least open her eyes and look at the surroundings, but who would have thought that after hearing the horrific ghost scream, this damn girl would nestle into my arms and refuse to come out no matter what I said.
If that were all, then so be it.
When I was halfway through, I suddenly felt someone grabbing the corner of my clothes.
This is just great.
I screamed, Li Zi screamed with me, and the people behind me also screamed.
After screaming for a full ten seconds, I finally realized that this was a person, not a ghost.
She was a girl who was a little older than me. She said with an embarrassed look on her face that she couldn't help but pull the corner of my clothes because she was too scared.
What’s even more ridiculous is that because the screams were so miserable, the staff who just started operating the haunted house thought someone had suddenly fallen ill and rushed in to check the situation.
Finally, we were escorted out by speechless staff.
Li Zi's face turned red, but she still insisted that she would come again next time.
Then we never came back and the haunted house closed down.

"Yuxin-chan." Xiayou Jie stood beside me and said in a considerate manner, "It's okay. If you don't want to go in, we won't force you."
"Who said I didn't want to go in?" I said unhappily while trying to prepare myself mentally, "I'm not a coward."
"Hey." Gojo Satoru said mysteriously, "Then don't regret it~"
"Shut up." I know I have a rebellious nature. I know this is a real provocation, but after being ridiculed, I can't help but get angry. Now that I have sworn, wouldn't it make me look useless if I back down?
The gimmick of this haunted house is "abandoned mental hospital".
The entrance is a gate blocked by a rusty iron fence, and the ticket office is staffed by people wearing white coats.
Wearing a blood-spattered mask, with only a pair of eyes showing, he stared ahead with a sinister look.
The ticket is also very special. It is not the traditional 2 inches x 5.5 inches, but a thin medical record book about the same size as A4 paper.
The whole building is divided into three floors. The first floor is the lobby. After walking around it, you can go directly to the exit. It can be said to be a fast-pass experience floor.
The second and third floors are doctors' offices and wards, which are used for exploration by experienced and courageous customers.
According to the brochure, the background story of the haunted house is as follows:
This hospital, an abandoned mental hospital, once held many mentally ill and extremely vicious patients. When they were not properly supervised, they would run out of the wards and kill people indiscriminately.
The doctors who watched over them would use banned, inhumane methods such as lobotomy, electrotherapy, and hydrotherapy to keep the patients compliant.
The pond in the backyard is filled with resentful souls who were killed due to inadequate treatment.
At midnight, they would crawl out and kill the doctors and patients. They were all evil.
As new patients, we have to guard against doctors arresting people for treatment, guard against mentally ill people killing people, and avoid ghosts crawling out of the pond to seek revenge.
This cannot be considered as being attacked from the front and back, but rather it can be said to be an attack from three sides!
However, as soon as I took my first step into the yard, I knew that I was stabbed in the back by these two unscrupulous guys.
"Five, Tiao, Wu!" I jumped up, my voice even more angry than seeing a ghost, and pointed at the bright tent in the north and asked, "Didn't you say it was just for fun?!"
"What's with that account? You usually like to play with that!"
"Hey... that..." He blinked his blue eyes and took off his sunglasses, as if he wanted to explain something, but I interrupted him immediately, "Explain it to me, bastard."
"Didn't you swear a solemn oath and tell a lie so that you can't eat dessert for a month?! What are you doing now?!"
"I did say something similar." He turned around and said slowly, "But Youxin-chan, I said that to Megumi and the others."
"So?" I crossed my arms, not buying it at all. "I wasn't there? I'm not a human anymore, am I?"
"Although that's what I said, it seems like you didn't hear it clearly at that time~"
"what?"
He stretched out a finger, held it upright in front of me, with a half smile on his face and a bit of complacency: "Think about it carefully, what he said was 'Let the teacher not have dessert for a month'."
"But, but, do you admit that I am your teacher?" He tilted his head and asked, "Well, this transfer student?"
I:"..........."
Damn! He can cheat in this way. His programmer must have found a bug.
"Okay, Satoru." Xia Youjie, who was observing the account nearby, retracted his gaze and reminded, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go over and investigate."
"The account was not placed by our people."
"Eh?" I was stunned and asked, "What do you mean it wasn't done by your people?"
"That's what I mean." Gojo Satoru put his sunglasses back on and said calmly and indifferently, "Jie and I did bring you here to relax and have fun, but now, it seems like we have run into something."
