249 Leaving the Haunted House
“Yan Shen left his seat, and the clock started to move again from 11:59. According to the haunted house designer’s thinking, once the hand reaches 12 on the dot, something scarier will happen.” Chu Ning spoke again after a few seconds.
“Oh gosh, you two are too brave. After this, I won’t dare to come back again.” Xiaomi didn’t listen to Chu Ning’s analysis. She was still afraid.
“The game design is indeed interesting, but many people can’t understand it. I’m clearly sitting there, but they don’t dare to walk over.” Yan Shen spread his hands, his tone a little regretful.
“I’m afraid that when a normal person walks in, they would have been scared and turned back the way they came. Very few people are like Chu Ning, not only unafraid, but also daring to analyze and observe…” Luo Yu said softly.
This wasn’t rare. When they were surrounded in B City, they had had to rely on Chu Ning’s calmness and decisiveness to escape.
“At that moment… I also wanted to pull you guys away.” Xu Xi said honestly.
“It’s so boring to leave. Don’t we come to haunted houses to experience the thrill of horror?” Yan Shen said with a smile.
“Please! Not everyone is like you and Chu Ning, unafraid of anything. We were so scared earlier that we just wanted to leave. How could we even think about experiencing it.” Xiaomi wiped away her tears and replied pitifully.
“Indeed,” Yan Shen nodded his head. He wasn’t even afraid of death now, so there was nothing in the world that could make him feel fear. However, Chu Ning… Her courage was outrageous. Yan Shen thought to himself.
In fact, Chu Ning’s thoughts were simpler.
Even if it was real, she would not be afraid. She had even experienced bizarre things like transmigrating between books and exchanging souls and bodies between the two worlds. There were not many things in this world that could scare her. No, it could be said that there was nothing at all.
She was still wondering why Yan Shen was so bold!
“I wonder if the other classmates can find the exit.” Luo Yu was a little worried. She also understood that not every student could analyze things as calmly as Chu Ning and Yan Shen.
“There’s no need to worry about that. If it’s that difficult and scary, the business of this haunted house will not be that good. There should be other routes.” Chu Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
In fact, what Chu Ning was thinking about was the actual annual revenue of the amusement park. Ever since she had decided to start a business and own a company, she would now think about profits no matter what she did.
“Chu Ning, I’m begging you, let’s take a safe route from now on. Don’t think about going to strange places anymore. I feel like my heart can’t take it anymore.” Xiaomi said with a sad expression.
“Uh…” Chu Ning originally wanted to argue, but seeing that Luo Yu and Xu Xi did not say a word, she could only sigh.
She could only suppress her curiosity and bring these people out first.
“Are you going to play by yourself or are you going out with us?” Chu Ning looked at Yan Shen and asked. She knew that Yan Shen was not afraid. In fact, this was the only way he could experience the fun here.
“No, I don’t think there’s anything interesting going on here. There are still some other attractions outside. Let’s hurry and go out.” Yan Shen had walked very quickly on his own. He hadn’t needed to accompany anyone and there had been no restrictions. He had already explored most of the scary places here.
About ten minutes later, when Xiaomi walked out of the dark and spooky cave, she looked up and saw the sun, white clouds, and heard all kinds of noisy laughter. She almost cried once more.
“Sob, sob, sob, I’ve finally come out alive again.” Xiaomi’s face showed an expression of having just survived a disaster. The heat outside made her feel warm and comfortable.
Chu Ning noticed that Song Gui, the class monitor, and many other classmates were sitting on the bench under the shade of a tree not far off. They were discussing something excitedly.
“Why are you guys so fast?” Chu Ning asked in surprise after they walked over.
Just as Song Gui was about to speak, the female classmate beside him spoke first, “It’s not that we’re fast, it’s our class monitor Song Gui who’s too fast. He was going straight along the main route and didn’t go to many places. How can we not be fast?”
“Uh… I’m just afraid of scaring you guys.” Song Gui tried to defend himself awkwardly.
“Oh, good boy. Class monitor, you were just bragging to me about how amazing you were in there. So that’s what happened!” Another male student acted as if he had suddenly realized something.
