Chapter 342 It’s hard to tell the difference between humans and ghosts
“What?”
“Face, face, so...several women’s faces...just on the tree, right on the tree, they It seemed like he was smiling at me...a sinister smile..."
"How could it be? Face? Did you mistake the shadow of the tree tumor for a face? "
"The tree tumor is still a face. I can still tell that it is definitely a face, not an ordinary human. It looks a bit like a fey. , no, a bit like the drow..."
"How about we go out? I feel like there are malicious eyes everywhere here."
"No, we have walked so far and have already arrived at the main building. We are the first wave to leave." It would be a pity for people who are so far away not to go in and have a look. Persistence , hold on, Mr. Mike, if you don’t play Ecstasy at this time, when will you wait?”
“Okay, okay, okay, let’s start”
One of the businessmen groaned. The bard woke up from a dream, immediately put his instrument to his mouth and started playing.
The cheerful harmonica sound instantly soothed everyone’s uneasiness.
He is timid, naive and fun-loving.
This sentence is vividly demonstrated by this group of businessmen.
They are just like those cowardly ghost movie lovers.
Every time I was frightened and screamed, but I couldn't let go of the plot behind it. Even if I dragged a group of people who were not interested, I still had to watch the movie.
So far, the ghost manor has a full atmosphere of fear, but it is more of a psychological suggestion, and there is no substantial scare point, which directly scares all these people away.
Squeak!
The door to the main building of the manor was slowly pushed open, making a harsh friction sound, which immediately made everyone's hearts lift.
Obviously it looks like new, but why does it sound like it is in disrepair?
As the door opened, a burst of flames burst out.
In the dark corridor, two rows of candles were lit simultaneously.
It's just that this kind of candle looks a bit weird, surrounded by a circle of black mist, and the burning flame is not red, but green. The light produced is weak and very dim, and can only barely reach the level of seeing.
Fuck! So despicable!
Everyone couldn't help but curse.
It would be better not to have such lighting.
This is simply a natural cover for the ghosts.
In this environment, even if a person is walking across the street, it can be mistaken for a ghost.
“Hey, there is a sign in front of there, what does it seem to say?”
“It’s too dark to see clearly, it seems to say, Congratulations on passing the first level of Silent Courtyard. , is a real warrior who can face ghosts directly. In the second level of the haunted main building, there are three treasure boxes in total, two of which contain treasures, and one treasure contains scare and joy. Welcome the warriors to search for it. The treasure in the treasure chest belongs to the finder. The value of the treasure chest is no less than a bottle of ghost wine. "Ha... is there such a good thing? A treasure chest worth a bottle of ghost wine?" That’s at least one hundred and eighty gold coins, so generous.”
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go find it quickly.”
"Don't be too happy too early. Do you think treasure chests are so easy to obtain? Those places suitable for hiding treasure chests may not necessarily contain anything?"
Just when those businessmen were intrigued by the treasure chests and started talking. At times of confusion.
They didn't notice that they had been lured into the main building by this vague explanation board. The door behind them closed silently until a loud bang was made at the last moment.
That situation seemed like a deliberate reminder to them.
The businessmen who reacted immediately became furious and started shouting one by one.
"Who closed the door? Who closed the door?"
"No one closed the door, and we are not crazy. Who will close the door? The door closed itself."
"Hurry up and open it , open the door quickly.”
“It’s useless, it can’t be opened. The door seems to be locked.”
“Why should we close the door?” ?”
"Hurry up and open the door. I don't want to play anymore. I want to go out."
"It's no use. I looked before and there was no one behind us, at least it wasn't the door locked for us."
"Mr. Dame, now is not the time to pretend to be blind. Hurry up and use the ghost eyeband to see if there are any other people or friends who are not human hidden around us."
Close by yourself, The door that could not be opened instantly raised the terrifying atmosphere to a new level.
Even if they were scared before, there was still an element of fun in it. At worst, they would just run away and evacuate the manor. At most, they would be laughed at by the businessmen waiting there.
But now their escape route was blocked.
The businessman named Damei, not caring about anything else, took out a black satin-like eyekerchief and tied it around his eyes.
Dame suddenly felt that strands of cool air came from the black eye scarf and soaked into her eyes.
The line of sight is not as seriously affected as expected. It is a bit blurry at best, but the picture quality has changed. Things are no longer in color, but in black and white. This is a characteristic of the Shadow Plane.
From now on, what he sees is no longer just things in the material world, but also things that are half in the material plane and the other side is connected to the shadow plane.
Damei verified this matter before her eyes.
The ghost cloak sold at the auction happened to be restrained by the ghost eyeband.
This made Damei shout in her heart that she had made a profit.
He was secretly laughing at the owner of Vizeme Manor for being such a fool for actually auctioning equipment with restraint capabilities at the same auction. He was not afraid that the restrained party would return the goods.
It turns out that his worries were unnecessary.
Even though the invisibility ability of the ghost cloak will be restrained by the ghost eyeband, the flaws are not concealed, and other abilities are equally exciting.
What made the businessman regretful was that he did not have the foresight to take pictures of the ghost eyebands together, so that they could be sold in bundles, or they could just take them off and not sell them to the outside world.
"How is it? How is it? Did you see anything? Are there other existences around us?" Other businessmen asked repeatedly.
"No, there is nothing, we are the only ones here." Damei's answer made everyone feel a little calmer.
"What should we do now?" "What else can we do? Of course, move forward. This building cannot have only one entrance and exit. There must be other exits. Let's look for it carefully together."
“Look for the treasure chest by the way.”
“You really want money rather than your life.”
“If you didn’t want money, would you be here? No one Too much money.”
Chi! laugh! laugh!
At some point, the weird music that had been lingering in my ears disappeared, and the entire main building became silent.
There was sudden movement, which was particularly loud.
Everyone looked around and saw a broom swinging around the corner.
A broom is not scary.
But a broom that moves by itself without anyone holding it is scary.
Especially when the music that had been silent for a long time suddenly sounded loudly.
Several timid people collapsed instantly and shouted: "Ghost..."
Then they ran wildly along the dark corridor.
Under their influence, a few of them started running along without thinking.
Tear the merchants who were gathered together completely into pieces.
A few people who were still rational shouted loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost, it's an activated broom, just an activated broom."
"Don't run around, we don't know what's inside, that's the best way It's dangerous."
As the emotionally broken businessmen ran wildly, the green candlelight deeper in the dark corridor was lit.
The situation inside made the businessman, who had already suffered an emotional breakdown, scream and run faster.
Those who did not collapse also had scalp numbness.
Those candlesticks are clearly wood carvings, dark, lifelike human-shaped wood carvings, with candles on their heads.
These wooden sculptures have expressionless faces and stare at everyone.
No, they seem to be rotating as the businessmen pass by, always silently staring at the collapsed businessmen, making their escape faster.
“Treasure chest, there is a treasure chest there.”
“It’s really a treasure chest.”
Some sharp-eyed businessmen saw the big treasure box at the end of the corridor at a glance.
That treasure box is very consistent with the world's perception of treasure boxes. It is one meter long and half a meter high. It is more than enough for an adult to fit in. It is made of thick logs, with a gold-rimmed silver lock and iron-wrapped corners. It is extremely gorgeous. .
“Don’t open it, don’t open it, don’t open it. I just explained it very clearly. Only two of the three treasure chests contain treasures, and the other one is frightened. Do you think Mr. Gavin would be so kind? , giving us a gift for nothing? Putting it in such an obvious place is probably more of a shock than a surprise."
"That makes perfect sense. The location of the treasure chest is so conspicuous that only a blind person cannot see it. There must be a trap here."
"Maybe they are taking advantage of your mentality and put the real treasure chest here to prevent you from opening it. , when you open the other two treasure chests with confidence, another big surprise will pop out.”
"What you said is not impossible. In this case, I will leave this treasure box to you to open, and the treasure inside belongs to you."
"Haha... this... forget it, I am here, and Not for the treasure, but mainly to see the name of the ghost manor. Now that I’ve seen it, it’s worthy of the name. Let’s find a way to leave quickly.”
“Coward! What I just said is true, and I don’t dare to confirm my feelings.”
An extremely luxurious one. The treasure chest was placed there, but no merchant dared to open it.
They have no concept of the fright mentioned in the instructions and dare not try it rashly.
And these are all smart people. This treasure chest is so conspicuous and easy to find.
Wait for the other two treasure chests, and after opening the fright, it is not too late to go back and open them.
They had just followed the stairs and entered the second floor. In the darkness, several figures loomed and rushed towards them.
“Ghost!”
“Ghost!”
Both sides burst out screaming at the same time, turned around and ran away.
But before taking two steps, Mengbuding discovered that the entire corridor was shrouded in a faint black mist. The green candlelight became even dimmer, and it was impossible to completely distinguish the appearance of the other party after five steps.
The group of businessmen around him have disappeared, leaving only three or two kittens.
The corridor, which was clearly visible to the end, became extremely deep and winding, with side roads everywhere.
These businessmen couldn't help but have the illusion that they were no longer in the material plane, but had entered another world.
As for which world, you know without asking - the Shadow Plane.
Dame feels this the most deeply, because the black and white feeling is more thorough and obvious.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Damei instinctively thought that it was a lost friend, and quickly rushed to meet him, but after only taking three steps, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Because these footsteps were neat and uniform, without any signs of panic, and the sound of landing was extremely crisp, just like the sound of steel nails hitting the stone surface. This is not the sound that adventure boots should have.
Other existences were mixed into the black mist.
Although he knew that the other party would not hurt him, he did not want to confront them.
Listen to the screams one after another in the black fog, and you will know that it is definitely not a good experience.
Dame didn’t know how long she had been running in the black mist. There were fewer and fewer companions around her, and she was left alone in the end.
In the black mist, when I heard the noise, I didn’t dare to take the initiative to get close to him, but ran away in a far away direction.
Because no one knows whether the other party is a human or a ghost.
There are more and more non-business people involved.
Da Mei felt this clearly.
