Chapter 17

What are you most afraid of running at night? Containment by the gangsters? Or a terrifying-looking ghost coming from the opposite side? Or the sound of a woman crying or a baby crying from nowhere?

neither.

The most terrifying thing is that you walked well, and there was no sound of footsteps behind you. Suddenly, someone taps you on the shoulder.

The ghosts that can be seen can only be regarded as scary, and the invisible and unknown are the real horrors.

Liu Xiaoman's whole body was stiff at that time, and she was constantly tangled in her heart whether to turn back or not.

Don't look back, what if there is another player behind it, not a ghost? And if it was a ghost, would she just let the ghost stand behind her like that? Will the ghost hurt her?

Look back, ghost stories say that there are three lights on the top of a person's head and shoulders, and the lights go out when you turn around. The lamp is to protect pedestrians, and ghosts can harm pedestrians fearlessly after they are extinguished.

QAQ is so tangled!

But no matter how tangled his brain is, Liu Xiaoman's body is still very neat...opening the protective cover on the magic lamp.

Myths and legends are unbelievable, and ghosts know whether there are those three lamps. The protective cover in your hand is the real support, and now, it's time to use it!

Liu Xiaoman stiffly hugged the lit staff and slowly turned around - the story said that he couldn't turn back, but it didn't say that he couldn't turn around.

Then, she saw a very familiar-looking statue smiling at her!

"!!!" Words can no longer express the degree of Liu Xiaoman's inner collapse at this moment, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't even scream.

Ye Xu hadn't done anything yet when he saw the girl on the opposite side burst into tears. Then she completely lost her ability to organize language, so she could only let out a bunch of sobbing and incomprehensible cries, looking very pitiful.

"..." Ye Xu felt more guilt in his heart.

Everything else is easy to say, he really can't help the girl cry. The seniors didn't teach what to do in such a situation, and Ye Xu didn't know how to coax people, so he could only silently return to the wall.

It is estimated that after he leaves, the girl can calm down.

But even if he doesn't scare the girl, others will. And those people are much more skilled in business than Ye Xu.

Ye Xu just saw from the system information that this girl was entering the escape game for the first time. It was unfortunate enough. It was the first time that came to such a crazy place, and it was terrifying and unable to find a way out.

If she was a senior, Ye Xu could still kill her when she turned off the light. In this way, she can become an Awakened by dying one more time, and will not be frightened again.

But she is a pure newcomer, so there is no way. At least let her pass this dungeon, otherwise don't mention awakening.

Ye Xu stood in the passage and looked left and right. Luckily, there happens to be a "shortcut" nearby. Although Ye Xu couldn't directly remind him where there was a shortcut, he could operate it a little bit.

for example

Ye Xu once again appeared in front of the girl who had already sorted out her emotions, this time the girl calmed down a lot. She looked at Ye Xu vigilantly and stepped back slowly.

In order to force the girl to the entrance of the shortcut, Ye Xu deliberately changed direction and appeared. In this case, the girl backed up, and finally she was able to back up to the entrance of the shortcut.

"Don't come here!" The girl bit her lip and drank it sternly.

Ye Xu was unmoved and slowly approached the girl.

The girl pursed her lips and could only keep stepping back. Although she knew that if there were protective shields in the rules, ghosts couldn't hurt her, but that didn't mean she was willing to get so close to this weird wax figure.

However, no matter how you retreat, there are wax figures behind it. There are in all directions, so girls are not willing to lean against the wall at first.

Now, a wax figure that doesn't move is better than one that does. The girl was cruel and took two steps back, her back against the wall.

Ye Xu didn't come any closer, he "deliberately" looked at the wax figure beside the girl, then turned and left.

Liu Xiaoman was ready for this wax figure to be relentless, but he didn't expect it to go away. And... did you look somewhere before leaving? It seems to be the wax figure on the right?

She looked at it suspiciously, vigilant in her heart. Is there anything special about this wax figure? Can you scare that ghost away?

Liu Xiaoman realized that something was wrong, she slowly moved away from the wax figure, and took a closer look. She found that this wax figure did not have the tendency to turn into a living creature and jump out to hunt her down, but it did look slightly different from other wax figures.

Could it be that... Liu Xiaoman's heart moved, could it be that this wax figure is not a more powerful boss, but can drive away the existence of ghosts? It is like the antidote-herb growing next to the poison-drug that seems to be the life door in the death-bending game.

Liu Xiaoman's eyes lit up as she approached the wax figure carefully. After waiting for a while, was sure that there was no special situation, so reached out and touched it.

It's cold, and it's no different from ordinary wax figures.

If there is such a wax figure that can scare away ghosts in each passage, then she can guarantee her own safety even if she has no magic power in the future.

Liu Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, she turned off the protective shield, and sat down at the feet of the wax figure. She had just cried a lot and was exhausted, and now she just wants to rest on this "life-saving wax figure".

She sat next to the wax figure, with her back against the wall, leaning slightly against the side of the wax figure, intending to use the wax figure's strength to slow down. But just as she relaxed, the wax figure suddenly "ran".

Liu Xiaoman was shocked, his hair stood up in fright, and he got up without saying a word. After standing still, I turned my head to look over, I thought that the wax figure had become a living thing, but it was not.

The original wax figure slid a short distance to the right, revealing the passage behind it. This passage looks no different from the maze outside, making Liu Xiaoman not dare to act rashly.

After thinking for a while, she pushed the wax figure to the far right, revealing the complete entrance of the passage. Then, stand at the entrance and hesitate whether to go in or not.

This is obviously a secret passage, and the road inside is probably not any normal road in the maze. If you take a gamble, go in, maybe it's a shortcut. But it's also possible that there are more terrifying monsters in it, so that's why the ghost just now was scared away.

Gamble or not?

Ye Xu stood in the wall, watching from a distance. When he saw Liu Xiaoman walk into the passage and the secret door was closed, he turned to leave.

I can only help you here, next time he won't be so kind.

Ye Xu glanced at the yellow card warning sent by the system in the private chat channel, and touched his nose with a guilty conscience.

Only this time is not an example.

In the huge maze, although the number of players is large, it is not easy to meet. Most of the time, players and NPCs miss out.

When Ye Xu met the player again, it was already an hour later. This time, what he met was still a single girl.

He may have had an affair with a single girl.

However, this girl is obviously more able to withstand the fear. Ye Xu repeated his old tricks, and when he was looking at the girl, he deliberately winked at her.

As he expected, he did frighten people, but...

"Ahhh!" The girl screamed, and before she could react, she swung the staff up sharply. She slammed hard several times, and then ran away in a panic, her panicked screams echoed in the passage.

Ran……

Ye Xu was left alone on the spot.

He hasn't had time to do anything yet, this girl is too tough.

Fortunately, Ye Xu had just attached himself to the wax figure. As long as he didn't come down from the wall, the wax figure would still be a wax figure. Even if he was smashed so hard several times, Ye Xu would not feel any pain.

Just a little, uh, surprised.

It turns out that the kind of cute girl-type female man saw on the Internet before, really exists.

It seems that there has been a similar gossip before, saying that which girl went to a haunted house to play, and after being frightened, she copied something and beat the person playing the ghost firmly.I used to think that the employees of those haunted houses were miserable, but now Ye Xu has experienced it himself.

Ye Xu, who returned to the wall, touched his forehead with lingering fears. Although he didn't feel it when he was smashed, the visual impact still gave him a little psychological shadow.

He found that he would never scare girls again!Women are so scary!
