After placing their belongings, the "nurse" who led the way took Kamiya and others deep into the passage. There was a rusty iron door here, which was currently closed.
Next to the iron door, there is a room with a door sign that reads, [Waiting Room].
The lighting in the waiting room is quite bright, and there are a few tables and chairs scattered here and there.
The four tourists, including Kamiyagawa, randomly found a table and sat down at the nurse's signal.
There is a document on the table, which is a liability exemption agreement.
The rules that should be followed when visiting Ciji Hospital are written in detail above.
Kamiya picked it up and looked at it. The rule that he had heard before, "Staff can contact, insult, and imprison tourists according to the needs of the plot, but tourists are not allowed to attack the staff" was also written in it.
In addition, at the end of the agreement, there is an important reminder in bold capital letters.
It's about safe words and safe moves.
During the visit to the haunted house, if tourists feel obviously unwell, or are overly panicked and wish to exit the challenge, they can exit the challenge by shouting the safe word or performing safe actions.
The safe word is "good luck and good health".
The safe action is to cross your hands and raise them above your head.
Safe words and safe actions can be done to any NPC in a haunted house or under any surveillance camera, and are considered effective.
At that time, staff will rush over and take the tourists away from the haunted house.
"You can withdraw at any time. It seems that Ciji Hospital has given tourists some safety guarantees." Kamiya simply read the agreement and signed it without hesitation.
The nurse who led the way took away the agreement signed by the four people, leaving behind a flashlight, then turned around and left, and slammed the waiting room door with force.
Almost the moment she left.
In the originally bright waiting room, the lights began to flicker violently, on and off.
The projector hanging above everyone's heads made a strange noise and began to operate.
The black-and-white image was projected onto the white wall of the waiting room, and the image played was shaking, with snowflakes flashing from time to time.
The content played on the screen seems to be the Ciji Hospital that everyone is in now, but it is what it looked like before it was abandoned. You can see the bright rooms, neat medical facilities, and the medical staff and doctors who are constantly flashing back in the video.
Patient wearing hospital gown.
This looks like image data preserved decades ago, and it feels extremely real.
As the video played, a woman wearing a nurse uniform appeared on the screen and began to explain the case:
"What I am telling you now is an old story that really happened. The stage where the story takes place is the Ciji Hospital where you are. Maybe you have heard that before it was transformed into a haunted house, it was an abandoned building that really existed.
Hospital building.”
"The Ciji General Hospital located in Nerima Ward was once a very large hospital with excellent medical resources and various excellent equipment. On the surface, this hospital treated diseases and saved lives, but in fact it was engaged in some shady activities behind the scenes.
"
"The director conspired with some staff in the same hospital to prescribe medicines and surgeries at will to some patients and conduct in vivo experiments. Many patients suffered from unbearable pain, became mentally disturbed, and then died."
"Dead patients will have their organs removed and soaked in chemicals, and the remaining body parts will be randomly packed in large wooden barrels."
"No one knows why the director of Ciji Hospital did such a horrific and unscrupulous thing."
"This went on for a long time until the ghosts of the patients who died in vain appeared. They slaughtered all the doctors and nurses, and the entire hospital was abandoned."
"To this day, if someone walks into this gloomy hospital, they will still see dead patients and doctors, as well as nurses carrying human heads wandering around... So, be careful what you see when exploring here.
Ghosts, maybe... they are real?"
At first, the nurse's speech was normal, but when she got to the end, her voice became low and hollow, she began to cough up blood, then her face became disfigured, and finally her hair became disheveled, and the background behind her became bloody and unsightly.
The video ends here.
"It's a bit scary. Why do I feel like the content played on the projector is real?"
The curly-haired girl in the college couple, after watching the video, panicked a little and grabbed her boyfriend's hand hard.
Her boyfriend tried to comfort her, but his voice was a little unsure:
"Don't be afraid, Rumi. Haunted houses are like this. They make it sound real and make you believe it. But if you really believe what was said in the video just now, then the purpose of the haunted house will be achieved."
The muscular man wearing glasses on the side also answered, his state was slightly calmer:
"Yes, I have watched this video several times. It will be okay. If we are scattered inside in a while, if any of you are too scared to bear it, just shout the safe word."
Among the group of people, only Kamiyakawa, a stranger, sat silently.
He is thinking about something.
Since Ciji Hospital was chosen as the fourth map in "Kaitan Story", it should at least be considered a supernatural spot in reality.
The kind that's really haunted.
So, the things mentioned in the description just now... are they just fabricated stories used by the haunted house to deepen the immersion of tourists?
It always feels hard to say.
In the waiting room.
The three college students exchanged a few words among themselves, and then the muscular man turned back and looked at the fourth person in the carpool: "Hey, little brother over there."
"Well, call me?" Kamiya stopped thinking and came back to his senses.
"Of course I'm calling you. What, are you too scared to say anything?" The muscular man laughed jokingly and patted his strong chest, "Don't worry too much, we can play together.
Games can be regarded as fate, big brother, I have played this haunted house several times. While taking care of my two juniors, I will also take care of you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that Kamiyagawa was sitting there, frowning and thinking, which made the muscular man mistakenly think that he was scared.
However, when such a small misunderstanding occurred, Kamiya did not explain anything. He just said to the other party: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"By the way, little brother, you look like you are still a high school student, right? Is it really okay to play in such a scary haunted house by yourself?" The young couple also turned their attention to the fourth person in the temporary team.
On the body.
Before Kamiya could reply, the muscular man stood up from his seat: "It's okay, it's okay. Even if the little brother is really scared and faints, there is a first aid station here."
Then, the muscular man took the flashlight that his sister had left on the table in the front row and walked towards the door of the waiting room in a hurry.
It looks like he can't wait to challenge the haunted house.
The couple looked at each other and stood up to follow.
Finally, there was Kamiyagawa. He looked at the backs of the three college students walking out and just laughed helplessly. Then, he turned his head and glanced at his side.
On both sides of him were standing several "people" invisible to ordinary people.
It's interesting to say that the people in the previous group who called Kamiya "little brother" are now standing next to him and acting as his little brother.
"Then let's go too."
Kamiyakawa lowered his voice to greet the hearse group, stood up and left the waiting room.
…
When the four people left the waiting room, they briefly introduced themselves.
Three college students explore the haunted house with Kamiya. The big brother with muscles and glasses is called Shiratori; the young couple, the boy is named Fumio and the girl is named Rumi.
In the corridor of the hospital.
Brother Baitiao has already started to push the rusty door in front.
The iron door made contact with the ground, making a stiff friction sound, and slowly opened. Behind the door is the real play area of the haunted house.
When the door opens, you can feel a cold wind blowing in your face, and the surrounding temperature seems to be even lower.
Snapped.
Shiratiao turned on the flashlight, and through the light of the flashlight, he could see that there was still a passage corridor behind the door.
But unlike the outside, there are dried red traces on the corridor walls inside.
This trace does not look like it was left by paint, it looks like it was made by real blood. Kamiya, who is more sensitive to this kind of smell, can even smell a very faint smell of blood spreading in the air.
In addition, nail scratches can also be seen on the wall, which are deep, shallow and densely packed.
When the weak light shines through, it's a bit seeping.
"Everyone listens to my instructions. Although the content in this haunted house is constantly changing and the experience is different every time, I have played it several times, so I am experienced."
"At the end of the corridor on the first floor, there is a floor map of the hospital. On it you can see the fastest route for customs clearance. The route is different every time. Everyone must remember the route."
"Remember, the shortcut route is equivalent to the guide for clearing the level. Follow the route to get out. If you run away from the correct route, you will encounter extremely scary things. Those who are scared to crawl out or carry out are basically
This is the case all the time.”
"In addition, after entering, there will probably be 'ghosts' who will appear and scatter us. If you encounter 'ghosts', you must run away. After getting rid of them, return to the original path immediately. NPCs in the haunted house are allowed to contact us and catch us.
If you are caught by them and taken to the depths of the hospital, it will be difficult to leave and return to the correct route."
"Do you understand everything? Especially that little brother Kamiya, follow me closely."
Shiratori waved the flashlight and led the way. At the same time, he talked a lot about his status as a veteran player, and finally named Kamiyagawa specifically.
The four of them walked to the entrance of the passage in this way.
The old pendant lamps in the corridor flicker on and off. You can see several bulging sacks at the foot of the wall. I don't know what they contain.
Because the lighting was too dim, and there were many large and small bags piled up along the road that seemed to contain medical waste, these sacks were actually inconspicuous.
There is a notice board on the wall on the other side, and sure enough there is a map posted on it.
Everyone followed Shiratiao's instructions and began to memorize the marked route for the quickest escape this time.
But in fact, Ciji Hospital is so big that it is impossible to completely memorize the route. It is good to be able to memorize a rough outline in a short time.
Among the four, the one with the greatest advantage in memorizing the clearance route is White Bird.
Although the route he passes through is a little different every time, as a veteran player, he is somewhat familiar with and understands the unchanged terrain in Ciji Hospital.
While others were busy memorizing the escape route in their minds, Kamiya stretched out his hand and took out the Nyima Copper Accessory from the [Mirage Cloth Bag].
The little old man who had grown to more than ten centimeters in height immediately appeared on his shoulders.
The three college students couldn't see the existence of this shiny little thing.
"Make a note of the map, especially the one on the third floor. It should be useful later." Kamiya whispered to his scouts.
"Aba! Aba!" The little old man said "OK, leave it to me" to his master, and excitedly began to observe the contents of the map.
Memorize the hospital terrain in advance and then combine it with subsequent on-site surveys.
As a professional scout, as long as these two steps are completed, the little old man can transform into a plug-in for Kamigagawa to explore Ciji Hospital.
The specific effect is equivalent to opening a small hole in the whole picture.
This can't be blamed on Kamiya for being lazy.
I heard from Shiratori before that part of the third floor might be blocked.
If the marked point is really located in a blocked area, there is nothing wrong with Kamiya making preparations for external moves in advance.
After all, his visit to Ciji Hospital for leisure and entertainment was only secondary. It didn't matter whether he passed the level or not. The real purpose was to open the marked point on the fourth map.
It took almost five minutes for everyone to memorize the map.
Afterwards, Kamiya, who had the keenest senses, heard a rustling sound coming from behind, which was coming from the sacks on the other side of the wall.
It seemed like something was moving inside.
Kamitani glanced at the sacks.
In fact, he noticed those bags when he just passed by them, and he knew exactly what was in them.
What's in the sack is a living person.
It was arranged by the haunted house, and an army was ambushed here, ready to act as an actor to show off to the tourists.
"Don't tell me, it's quite hard to be an NPC in this haunted house." Kamiya sighed casually in his heart.
The actors in those sacks started to move, which meant that it was time to memorize the escape route.
The game is about to officially start.
"Wait a minute, did you hear anything?" Inside the team, the college student sister Rumei, who was concentrating on memorizing the map, asked.
Others turned around belatedly.
Wow.
I saw the mouth of one of the sacks loosened, and a soft object fell out, hitting everyone's feet.
Only when the flashlight shined it could we see clearly that the thing that was shaken out was a section of fat intestine that had been cut open. It was greasy, with lymph particles and turbid yellow fat lumps attached to it.
Immediately afterwards, a human hand that had been smeared palely stretched out from several sacks!
"run!"
The white bird at the front of the team let out a loud roar, shook his flashlight and fled.
Others soon followed.
On the other side of the corridor is a huge room that looks like a morgue.
Because there are racks of iron beds neatly placed here. Each iron bed is covered with white cloth, and there seems to be something underneath.
There are several passages in the morgue, which seem to be extending in all directions and seem to lead to everywhere in Ciji Hospital.
As soon as the four people entered here, all the iron beds began to shake, and on each bed, a human figure draped in white cloth sat up.
The white cloth was pulled down, revealing several NPCs wearing burial makeup.
"You shouldn't be here!"
They roared and performed with all their strength, and rushed towards the four tourists who were still in shock.
The layout of this morgue extending in all directions was originally designed to break up the tourist queues.
In the midst of the chaos, Brother White Bird made a quick decision, found the entrance to the correct route, and rushed in at once.
The remaining young couple, however, did not react. They held each other's hands tightly but failed to escape in time.
Kamiyagawa's position was not very good. He was blocked by several movable iron beds with pulleys, and the front was blocked by a couple of college students, so he didn't leave.
"You shouldn't have come! Take you away, take one of you away!"
The NPCs in coffin makeup had already rushed in front of the three of them, scaring the young couple into screaming.
Kamiya was not too panicked, or in other words, there was no disturbance in his heart.
From what the NPCs said, it seemed that because the three of them failed to escape in time, one of them was now going to be taken away as punishment.
"If you choose one of the three, the couple held hands so tightly, I should be the one who was taken away."
Kamiya estimated this.
But it doesn't matter.
Brother Shiratiao has previously introduced that being taken away and "imprisoned" by NPC in the Ciji Hospital Haunted House does not mean the end of the game, but that he will be taken deep into the hospital, completely out of the escape route this time, and encounter even more terrifying things.
Challenges and "attacks".
Anyway, my real purpose lies in the marked point on the third floor. After being taken away by the NPC, it is not a bad thing to start acting alone.
On the Kamiya River side, they are already planning to cooperate with the NPC to leave.
But all I saw was that the actors, all wearing makeup for burial, began to pick up the young couple.
"No! No, Rumi!"
"Fumio!"
The pair of miserable mandarin ducks were forcibly separated, and the boy among them was directly carried on the shoulders by several NPCs, and then they rushed into a passage on the side and disappeared.
Only Kamiyagawa and the girl named Rumi were left in the entire morgue.
This is a little embarrassing.
With the cool flickering lights in the room, Kamiyakawa glanced at the other party. There were obvious tears on Rumei's face, and her original delicate makeup was a little smudged.
It seemed that the scene just now had a huge impact on her.
"Well, if you can't bear it, why don't you shout the safe word at the surveillance camera? Look, there is a camera over there." Kamiya suggested.
But before Liu Mei could respond, the morgue was filled with commotion again.
The sound came from the largest passage that everyone just entered. It was the NPCs in sacks, twisting and crawling out!
Surrounded by flickering lights and a shaky iron bed; on the ground were twisted bodies and pale skin.
All kinds of extremely impactful pictures are blended together, and wherever you look, there is another extremely terrifying visual feast!
"Ahhhhh!"
How could Miss Liumei, who had been so frightened just now, accept this?
She screamed and retreated hastily.
But because he was too frightened and panicked, he unfortunately got caught on the iron frame bed next to him and fell down violently.
Just when the poor Miss Rumei was about to fall to the ground, a figure suddenly outlined beside her.
It’s the younger sister in the hearse group, Obara Zaomi.
She stood closest to Rumi, and seeing that he was about to fall, she subconsciously showed up to Rumi alone.
And he pulled the other person into his arms.
Although the Miss Liumei is a college student, her figure is relatively petite.
She fell down in panic, only to feel someone supporting her body, while her face was buried in a piece of cold, elastic softness.
When Li Liang raised his head, he saw a short-haired girl who was almost a college student but a complete stranger, hugging him.
"A fellow tourist? No, there was no one like this at all. The NPC in the haunted house? But she didn't wear any scary makeup, and she even looked quite cute. What's going on?"
Rumi, who was still in shock, was about to wonder.
At this time, the short-haired girl holding her shook slightly.
It was probably because Rumi had bumped into her arms too hard just now, which made her unable to recover.
Bo——
Rumi heard such a sound, coming from the neck of the short-haired girl.
Immediately afterwards, the girl's head suddenly rolled down, floating and rising like a hydrogen balloon.
The short-haired girl hurriedly let go of Rumi, stood on tiptoes and reached out to grab the air.
"Ouch! You knocked my head off. My head... I can't reach it, I can't reach it..."
