Qiao Liang was dragged to the door of the "Haunted House Nightmare" project by everyone.
"Hurry up, whoever is cowardly is your grandson!"
"Old Qiao, weren't you the all-powerful in "Be Quiet"? Hurry up, you are the first one to go in!"
"You see, it's written on the promotional page. The Nightmare in the Haunted Mansion project is moderately scary, not the scariest one..."
Everyone was fooling around, thinking of sending Qiao Laoshi in to experience it.
Qiao Liang was gradually persuaded.
Yes, the promotional page does say "moderate level of horror", and the process is quite short, so it shouldn't be very scary, right?
However, just as he was about to take a step, he saw a muscular man coming out from the other side of the exit with a pale face. He felt like he was about to faint at any moment.
Several girls who had just come out burst into tears, and the makeup on their faces was all stained by tears.
"It's terrible!"
"I'm going to leave a psychological shadow. Woohoo!"
"You even have to memorize the steps of the game, you might as well kill me!"
The few tourists who came out had no intention of going to the "Ultimate Horror". They were either going to visit the Golden Maze or going back to the "Desperate Escape". They seemed not to want to stay here for a second longer.
Qiao Liang keenly felt that the situation was not good.
This is death!
This is definitely not "moderately scary"!
It's right to think about it. For Mr. Pei, a "higher difficulty" game is like "Back to the Shore". So what level is "moderately scary"? You can figure it out just by thinking about it.
This time, let alone Qiao Liang, even the fans who were eager to give it a try began to give up.
"How about we...continue to go back and queue for 'Escape'? Now we can queue up and play it earlier."
"You can't just give up at the door, right? It would be too embarrassing to tell you!"
"Haha, if you don't seek death, you won't die. Why don't you understand this truth?"
"'It's all here' is the most wrong idea in the world! Let's not be fooled. We don't have to experience every experience..."
There were differences in the squad.
Just like when a few friends go to an amusement park together, there will always be some people who retreat at the entrance of the haunted house. To be precise, this is not just because of cowardice, but also because they have a clear understanding of how cowardly they are.
"Everyone...are you queuing up?" a voice said.
Qiao Liang and his group were hesitant and jumped repeatedly at the queue. People coming later didn't know if they wanted to enter, so they asked.
Qiao Liang looked back and saw a energetic young man with a crew cut looking at them with a smile.
"Ah, I'm sorry, please go first." Qiao Liang and the fans quickly moved out of the way.
The spirited young man did not go in immediately, but asked tentatively: "Are you... Qiao Laoshi?"
Qiao Liang was stunned, hey, how can he meet fans now?
But it’s right to think about it. Most of the first visitors to the Frightening Hostel were Tengda’s die-hard fans. Since they are die-hard fans, it’s normal for them to have watched the video series “The Work of the Gods”.
"Yes, I'm Qiao Liang, have you seen my video too?"
The spirited guy was very happy: "Yes, I have seen it, and I like it very much! Your voice is very special, so I asked casually, and I didn't expect it to be true! Let me introduce myself, my surname is Ruan, Ruan Guangjian, and I am the artist of "Back to the Shore".
"
Qiao Liang's eyes widened instantly.
Ruan Guangjian?
That's not just the art of "Return to the Shore", "Ghost General", "Game Producer", "be quiet", gog, these games are all art designs by him!
That is Mr. Pei's partner and best friend.
Mr. Pei’s friends, aren’t they my friends?
"Nice to meet you!"
The two shook hands cordially and regretted meeting each other so late.
We had heard about each other for a long time, and when we met today, they were indeed well-deserved!
Qiao Liang looked Ruan Guangjian up and down, and found that he was younger than he thought, and he did not have the traditional artistic style, and he was indifferent, but his temperament that had been immersed in the field of art all year round was still revealed.
Ruan Guangjian felt that although Qiao Liang looked a little chubby and unattractive, a bit like an ordinary dead man, his eyes seemed to reveal wisdom.
After the greetings, Ruan Guangjian suggested: "Actually, I am very timid, and I did a lot of ideological struggle before coming. How about we go together?"
Qiao Liang was doubtful: "Really?"
Ruan Guangjian nodded: "Really, I'm famous for being afraid of haunted houses. Even Mr. Pei knows about it."
A fan asked in confusion: "Ah? I'm so scared, why do I still go?"
Ruan Guangjian looked at death with a look on his face: "A true warrior must of course face the difficulties! As a friend of President Pei, of course I must support him!"
There is quite the attitude of a strong man who is gone and never comes back.
Everyone observed carefully and found that his expression did not seem to be lying, but that he was very serious.
This fearless spirit infected Qiao Liang and other fans.
Qiao Liang suddenly felt ashamed.
Qiao Liang, Qiao Liang, haven’t you always claimed to be a hardcore gamer? Haven’t you always claimed to be the person who understands Mr. Pei best?
Look at other people, a painter, who dares to enter a haunted house to challenge himself, but you are scared?
Where did you have the courage to finally complete the series of videos called "The Legend of the Gods" after fighting so hard with "Return to the Shore"?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but become impassioned: "Okay! If that's the case, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, and we will meet the challenge that Mr. Pei has set for us!"
For some reason, the addition of Ruan Guangjian suddenly boosted the team's confidence, and everyone entered the factory where the "Haunted House Nightmare" project was located.
Qiao Liang was at the front, and his status as a hardcore player allowed him to take the lead and do his part.
The first thing I saw were many mysterious containers. As for what was specifically inside, I was not very clear.
The staff seemed to have seen this kind of talking and laughing tourists a lot, and they did not throw cold water or encourage them. They just silently handed out the project details to everyone, and then smiled meaningfully.
This smile makes people feel a little bit hairy.
There was a rest area next to it, and everyone took the instructions and sat down in the rest area with confused expressions.
"ah!!!"
A loud scream was heard, and then a girl fled through the exit at the back of the container.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Qiao Liang carefully looked at the instructions in his hand and found that "Haunted House Nightmare" was divided into many small items, including bathroom, window, TV, stairs, ceiling, bed bottom, etc.
Each small project has a "task description", such as "bathroom", where you need to lock the bathroom door, light candles, blindfold your eyes, wash your hands, etc.
This is not mandatory. Visitors can enter and come out without doing anything. However, if they want to get the ticket to "Ultimate Horror", they must follow these mission instructions and clear "Haunted House Nightmare".
The more Qiao Liang looked at it, the more his heart grew colder.
It’s not that it’s difficult to remember. In fact, although there are many items, they are basically related and in order. You can recall them when you see the props in the scene.
He felt cold, mainly because when he looked at these entries, he felt like he couldn't do it at all!
Think about it, in a dark bathroom, holding a red candle, and then covering your eyes in the mirror...
The level of terror is no less terrifying than in a traditional haunted house!
Looking at the others, it was obvious that their previous ambitions had been thrown out of the window, especially Ruan Guangjian, whose hands were already trembling slightly.
Seeing that Ruan Guangjian was more panicked than himself, Qiao Liang calmed down a little.
It's like taking an exam. Poor students will feel more secure when they see someone worse than themselves.
There is no time limit for reciting. You can always recite in the rest area. When you feel you are ready, you can queue up and enter the project experience.
Qiao Liang felt as if he had returned to his student days, where the teacher asked him to recite ancient poems and then had to do a spot check after an hour.
But this time the content to be experienced is much more exciting.
From time to time, people enter the challenge, but no matter whether they scream inside or not, they look like they are dying when they come out. Seven or eight people entered in a row, but not one of them successfully passed the level, and it seems that no one wants to experience the second time at all.
Second-rate.
So many people in the rest area gave up. The more they tried, the more terrifying they became. In the end, they gave up without even trying.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the rest area, Qiao Liang felt as if a dark shadow enveloped him.
However, just when he was hesitant and wanted to retreat, Ruan Guangjian stood up.
It was like a ray of light that broke through the dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads!
Qiao Liang was stunned: "Brother Ruan, you..."
Ruan Guangjian had a look of death on his face: "If I don't go to hell, who will? Everyone, I'll go up first and check out the enemy's situation for you!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and Qiao Liang was even more happy.
Very good!
I am worried about who will go in first!
Since Mr. Ruan wants to be the first to enter, it’s time for everyone to listen to him talk about what’s going on inside and be mentally prepared.
If Ruan Guangjian, who is naturally timid, can persevere, then everyone should be similar.
Qiao Liang patted Ruan Guangjian on the shoulder: "Go, brother Ruan, we are waiting for news of your triumphant return!"
Ruan Guangjian entered the container with a look of despair.
Qiao Liang and others returned to the rest area, sat down, and continued to recite.
However, not long after he sat down, he heard a high-pitched scream coming from the container.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Qiao Liang was frightened, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
What do you mean, was killed?
Didn't you get pregnant within two minutes of entering?
The rest area was very quiet, no one spoke, but the expressions on everyone's faces said it all.
I'm scared!
It seems that this place is really scary!
Qiao Liang could not help but start to make up the scene according to the scene in his memory. He felt that Ruan Guangjian would not be able to hold on for a few minutes before he would exit the container.
Within two minutes, there was another scream.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Brother Ruan is so scared that he still persists. This fearless spirit is worth learning from!
Everyone had no intention of reciting it and looked up at the container full of terror, wanting to see how long Ruan Guangjian would last before giving up.
Five minutes have passed.
Ten minutes have passed...
Although the screams inside continued to sound, Ruan Guangjian never came out.
Qiao Liang was completely moved.
Look, what does it mean to never give up! What does it mean to defeat yourself! What does it mean to have a fearless spirit!
Think about it, Mr. Ruan is just a painter, but he continues to persevere despite being so scared, and he immediately sees the dawn of victory. Qiao Liang, you call yourself a hardcore gamer, but you don’t even dare to enter!
Don’t you feel ashamed? Don’t you feel ashamed?
After memorizing everything silently, Qiao Liang stood up decisively and walked towards the road of no return.
Although Ruan Guangjian has not come out yet, there are many small projects in it. The experience time of each small project is similar, and you can choose your own route to experience it. If you clear some of the projects, you will pass the level and they will not bump into each other.
The fan was stunned for a moment: "Old Qiao, why don't you wait for him to come out?"
Qiao Liang looked like he was about to die: "No wait, Brother Ruan has already gone to the battlefield, how can I hesitate behind him? I'm already one step behind him. If I wait for him to come out before I dare to go in, wouldn't it be even more shameful?"
?Wait for the news of my victorious return!"
Under the guidance of the staff, Qiao Liang also walked in with high spirits.
Less than two minutes after entering, Ruan Guangjian happened to come out from the other side.
The staff immediately greeted you: "Congratulations! You are the first brave person to successfully pass the 'Nightmare in the Haunted House'! This is your admission ticket to participate in the 'Ultimate Terror', please keep it."
During the challenge, specialized staff will observe the situation inside in the adjacent monitoring room and confirm the behavior of tourists. Once tourists are scared and give up, they must go in and rescue them immediately.
Ruan Guangjian successfully cleared customs, and the staff naturally knew it immediately.
Qiao Liang's fans all opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.
Passed the level?
This...does this mean that it's not that scary inside and persistence is victory?
Everyone immediately gathered around and asked about the situation inside.
Ruan Guangjian smiled and said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not that terrible. Although you will suffer some setbacks, you can completely overcome it. Once you overcome it, the sense of accomplishment will be incomparable!"
Everyone stood in awe.
"real?"
"Looking at Brother Ruan's expression, it seems that he is indeed fine."
"Lao Qiao hasn't called out since he entered, right?"
"That means it's really not that scary? Even a timid person like Brother Ruan can insist on passing the level. We should be able to do it too, right?"
"Wait, you have changed your mind now?"
"Think about it, when Lao Qiao comes out later, he won't necessarily be squealing, but we will definitely be blackmailed in the group! If this is particularly scary, forget it, but what if it's not particularly scary? Isn't it true that we are cleaning up in the group?
Don’t you want to lose this stigma?”
Finally, the most hesitant among the fans looked at Ruan Guangjian: "Boss, do you think I... can I persevere?"
Ruan Guangjian slapped his chest: "Don't worry, a timid person like me can persevere, you will be fine!"
This sentence gave everyone great courage, and they lined up one by one, waiting to go in and experience it.
