Chapter 219 Ghost House Escape

When everyone was too scared to take the lead and was about to cancel the haunted house trip, someone stood up and led the way.

At that moment, he was a hero standing in the light.

Because of the comparison, his masculinity suddenly stood out.

Even though he had a girlfriend, the girls felt deeply stirred.

Moreover, his focused attitude allowed him to exude both boyfriend power and integrity.

Several girls in the back row were stifling 'Ahs' and covering their mouths, acting like star-struck fans.

Xia Xinyu frowned, hearing the admiring voices behind her.

However, she was too embarrassed to turn around and glare at them at that moment, as it would seem petty and small-minded.

So, she had no choice but to lend her boyfriend to these people to bolster their courage.

However, her benevolent concession made her classmates even more presumptuous.

As she held Chen Yuan's hand, about four hands came from all directions, gently tugging at the hem of his clothes, including her good friend Qian Duo'er...

"I heard that the ghosts inside are all real people, it's especially bloody, especially 18x." Qian Duo'er grabbed Xia Xinyu's boyfriend, completely unaware of her current behavior—stealing from a friend.

But since she didn't get slapped by Xia Xinyu, it meant she hadn't gone too far.

However, just as they walked into a narrow passage, a terrifying 'Ooh-ah!' sound effect suddenly rang out.

Then, the four girls simultaneously grabbed Chen Yuan's arm, pushing Xia Xinyu aside.

"???"

Xia Xinyu couldn't take it anymore. She pulled the hands clinging to Chen Yuan one by one, and faced everyone, seriously setting the rules: "You can grab the hem of his clothes, but you can't tear them. Or, follow behind me and grab my clothes..."

"Okay..." Qian Duo'er nodded, and then, as the dim light shone on the wall, revealing a ghost mask, she screamed on the spot, "Xinyu, behind you!"

"...Ah!" Xia Xinyu also screamed, then immediately closed her eyes and hugged Chen Yuan from behind, clinging to him like a koala, eyes tightly shut.

Chen Yuan looked at the mask hanging on the wall, motionless, with only some green and blue light shining on it, making it look a bit strange, and his expression was subtle: "What the hell is this?"

"Everyone calm down, it seems to be the opening sound effect, we haven't even gone inside yet," Yu Xinyue noticed and reminded them.

Then, everyone realized. The sound was like the opening of Plants vs. Zombies, or the countdown to the Terminator mode in CF, just a shout without any actual demons or ghosts appearing.

So, everyone calmed down a bit.

Chen Yuan stood at the front, Xinyu held his hand behind him, and Qian Duo'er and Yu Xinyue were on either side, stuck to Xia Xinyu, not leaving her side at all.

Wherever she went, they went.

The rest of the boys and girls followed behind the first group, like guerrillas, very good at hiding.

Some were so scared that they grabbed their partner's clothes and simply closed their eyes.

To be honest, Chen Yuan also found it a bit creepy.

So, he pushed his glasses down slightly.

Opening his eyes to see the world.

Because in just one second, the other party would turn from a demon into an ordinary human.

A few more seconds and they would return to their human essence.

However, if someone suddenly grabbed his leg, Chen Yuan couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't instinctively hit them.

That's right.

Right now, he had all sorts of emotions, but no fear.

For him, he had seen too many mentally polluting images.

Countless red numbers jumping up and down, the same person appearing twice in his future vision, and as for sounds, he had heard the most evil curses of humanity countless times.

Most importantly, after seeing Lao Mo's body today, and the blood and organs beneath his skin, he felt immune to everything.

No matter how scary the picture, it couldn't compare to the bloody...

"Yo!"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan shouted and stopped.

"Ahhh?! What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Did the ghost come out?"

The people behind were all terrified, hugging each other tightly behind Chen Yuan and the others, wishing they could run back right now.

After all, even Xinyu's boyfriend, who seemed to be the bravest, was so scared, so it must be something very scary!

"W-what's wrong?" Qian Duo'er, next to Xia Xinyu, asked Chen Yuan in a low voice.

Chen Yuan raised his foot, looked at the dark, sticky thing, and said seriously, "Stepped on a betel nut."

"Ah?! A betel nut?"

"Then why are you shouting?"

"What's so scary about a betel nut?"

"...I thought it was dog poop," Chen Yuan honestly explained, being 'reprimanded' by the crowd.

"If it's not something scary, please calm down a bit, everyone is very scared," Xia Xinyu squeezed out a smile and reminded him.

"Oh, I understand."

Chen Yuan continued to lead the group forward, then stopped at an intersection. Looking to the right, he said softly, "There's something."

"What is it?" Yu Xinyue asked, not too scared because Chen Yuan's voice was relatively calm.

Looking over there, Chen Yuan calmly described, "A white coat holding a chainsaw, half of his face covered with a mask, and covered in blood..."

"Ahhhhh!"

As Chen Yuan spoke, the sound of a chainsaw rose. When the light shone on the person, and everyone saw clearly, they immediately screamed, the sound shrill and piercing.

The chainsaw-wielding white coat man slowly raised his foot, walking step by step.

The setting here should be to make them run to the left, with this person chasing behind. However, he wouldn't run at full speed, only making intimidating roars.

So Chen Yuan took Xia Xinyu and quickened their pace to the left. But the people behind had already gone crazy, afraid of being caught, running with all their might, brushing past the two of them and leaving Chen Yuan, who was supposed to be in the lead, behind.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Help!"

"Don't push me, don't push me, who's being so annoying!"

They were in chaos.

"Is it okay for us to walk so slowly?" Xia Xinyu hugged Chen Yuan's arm and asked weakly.

"It's okay, I think there must be something wrong with this path that's given to us directly, maybe something even scarier is waiting ahead."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, several boys and girls who had blindly rushed to the front let out even more miserable screams: "Ahhh!!! A half-person crawling on the ground!"

The next moment, they were frightened back by an even scarier NPC.

Chen Yuan, while exploring, found a door on the wall, opened it, and went straight in: "Come, General, please take this small path!"

"What General... I'm Xia Xinyu!"

Xia Xinyu didn't know why Chen Yuan was in the mood to joke at this time, nor did she know why she was even complaining. She was so scared that her muscles were tense, and she followed Chen Yuan into the room.

Then, Chen Yuan turned around to close the door.

"Wait, wait a minute! Let us in first!"

At this moment, three girls slipped in before Chen Yuan closed the door.

Each of them shrunk their necks, trembling like little hamsters.

This was a classroom, and the moment they closed the door, the lights began to flicker.

When the three girls saw this, they were about to scream, but Chen Yuan quickly interrupted them: "Wait, this is just a scene transition, no NPCs will run out, calm down!"

"..." After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the three girls immediately shut their mouths and stopped screaming.

Observing their surroundings, they found that the door of this small classroom was closed, and the space only contained some desks, chairs, a podium, and a blackboard, and there were no mechanisms that would directly release anyone.

The lights were flickering, but it was definitely safe.

"This place, it should be like a safe zone where you can save your progress. There will definitely be more scary things to explore ahead, but just staying here is no problem," Chen Yuan explained.

The three girls nodded like students listening quietly to the teacher's lecture, especially obediently. One of the girls with a chubby baby face even showed an admiring look of 'You're so amazing'.

Xia Xinyu saw it at a glance.

Her lips also pursed subtly.

"Why didn't you run with them?" Chen Yuan asked.

"We feel like following you... you and Xinyu, are a little more reliable," said the chubby-faced girl.

When Chen Yuan led them into the haunted house, he was like a ray of light, so dazzling.

At that time, they knew that this person was definitely reliable.

So even in the situation where someone was chasing behind them, they did not choose to run that way with the crowd.

In the end, it was the right choice.

This man was simply the embodiment of courage and wisdom.

He actually saw at a glance that the path that was voluntarily given to them indeed had a trap!
