134: If you play like that, you'll end up with no friends!

Goosebumps erupted all over his body, and Song Yang could no longer endure the deathly silence.

You know, they were outside the Haunted House right now.

If anything went wrong, there would be no second chances.

To be safe, it was better to run!

Shouting at his assistant, Song Yang was about to take a step when suddenly, he felt as if his feet were fixed in place by something.

He trembled, swallowing hard.

His face was already contorted in pain.

His assistant was right; why did he have to come to the Haunted House so early?

Couldn't he have waited until the livestream room was unblocked?

He lowered his head, almost in tears, and the next moment, his hanging heart finally died.

Strands of mist, like black snakes, covered him.

Even if he exerted all his strength, he couldn't move an inch.

"Brother Yang, I... I seem to be stuck!"

On the other side, the assistant's trembling voice rang out.

It seemed he and Song Yang were in the same predicament.

"No way, buddy, we're not inside the Haunted House right now!"

"Is it really necessary to go this far?"

Looking at the black mist at his feet, Song Yang felt completely unsettled.

This wasn't virtual; how could such a thing exist?

Had the boss introduced some new black technology during his absence?

Did he have to be so diligent?

The original Haunted House was already scary enough, wasn't it?

As if resigned to his fate, Song Yang sighed to the sky.

It seemed he would have to resort to that move after all.

Originally, he hadn't wanted to use it.

After all, besides the boss, there were other employees in the Haunted House.

To do this right after returning would truly tarnish his title as Song the Bold!

But with things as they were, he had no choice but to use it.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yang seemed to have made a certain decision.

Looking around, though he couldn't see anything clearly, a hint of disdain still flashed in his eyes.

Want to scare him?

Heh heh, did they really think he was a pushover?!

Without hesitation, Song Yang slowly opened his mouth.

The next moment, a heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the entire Haunted House.

"Boss!!!!"

Song Yang could swear that he had shouted that "Boss" with almost all his might.

Even at the end, his voice cracked a little.

The originally dim Haunted House seemed to brighten considerably with his shout.

Not far away, Red Spirit stopped.

Amidst her shifting, distorted features, a stunningly beautiful face reappeared.

Looking at Song Yang, who was a little out of breath from overexertion, a rare trace of confusion flickered in her eyes.

No way, buddy, if you play like this, you'll lose all your friends!

No need to think, Li Zhou must have heard it.

Although he could pretend not to hear, that would be too fake.

After all, that shout could be clearly heard even from outside the Haunted House, let alone inside.

Li Zhou had indeed heard it.

Sitting up abruptly from his bed, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face.

Alright.

He really hadn't expected Song Yang to pull such a stunt.

Indeed.

It wasn't a livestream now, so there was no need to worry about being embarrassed.

Sighing, Li Zhou got out of bed and walked towards the door.

He was half a guest, after all, and since he was calling him so desperately, it would be rude not to go out and see.

"What's going on?!"

"It's haunted!"

On the other side, in the female employee dormitory.

Mozi, who was sleeping on the same bed as Dai Xiaomei, was startled by Song Yang's shout.

Sitting up abruptly from the bed, she looked around with confused eyes.

The shrillness contained in that shout just now was soul-piercing.

It was as if she would die the next second.

It made Mozi shiver with fear.

Dai Xiaomei also sat up from the bed.

However, there was no panic on her face; instead, a hint of confusion appeared.

Why did this voice feel... somewhat familiar?!

"Let's go out and see!"

Without much thought, Dai Xiaomei flipped out of bed.

Seeing her action, Mozi was immediately stunned.

"Old Woman, when did you get so brave?"

"Aren't you afraid..."

"Afraid of what?"

"The scariest thing in this Haunted House isn't people."

Hearing Mozi's words, Dai Xiaomei waved her hand.

That shout just now was clearly from a person.

In the entire Haunted House, what she feared most were Li Zhou's robot NPCs.

Seeing that Dai Xiaomei had already dressed, Mozi hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to follow her out to see.

She was actually very curious about who this person was who could let out such a shout!

Outside the labyrinth, the assistant was also startled by Song Yang's sudden shout at first.

But he quickly reacted, a hint of admiration appearing on his face.

As expected of Brother Yang, besides his courage, his voice was also top-notch.

However, looking at the unresponsive surroundings, the assistant couldn't help but say to Song Yang, "Brother Yang, no reaction!"

"How about you let out another howl?"

"Cough cough! Get lost, why don't you shout?"

After shouting, Song Yang couldn't help but cough violently.

Damn it, he overexerted himself and hurt his throat.

After coughing, Song Yang wiped the corner of his mouth.

He didn't believe Li Zhou hadn't heard his shout just now.

Now, he just needed to wait.

Even at this point, he still somewhat suspected that all of this might be Li Zhou's doing.

Ever since he was scared by a zombie and then learned it was just a robot, he no longer believed in any ghost stories.

They were all fake.

No matter how realistic something was, with current technology, it could be created.

So, he didn't care much about the black mist at his feet now.

Song Yang had only one thought about the Haunted House now.

Anyway, he wouldn't really die, so scare him however they wanted!

He wasn't like Chen Ze or Dai Xiaomei and those guys.

"Boss... he's out!"

"How about... we just forget it!"

In the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery, the zombie was speechless for a long time after hearing Song Yang's shout.

It remembered that when facing it before, the other party wasn't like this.

Upon realizing that Li Zhou had come out, it spoke to Red Spirit, reminding her.

It was fine if the boss didn't know.

Now that he was out, acting again would be somewhat impolite.

"Alright, alright, Song Yang, right? I'll remember you!"

Outside the labyrinth, Red Spirit bit her silver teeth, looking at Song Yang, who stood with hands on hips, an expression on his face that seemed to say, "What can you do to me?"

Today, she was very unhappy.

First, both the boss and Goethe the zombie had given instructions but deliberately didn't tell her to pay attention to a certain person.

Then Goethe refused her small request.

Now, she had even failed to scare an ordinary person.

If only she had acted sooner!

Taking another deep look at Song Yang, Red Spirit returned to her original state.

The surging black mist completely receded, and the human skin lantern above cast its glow once more.

Soon after, Li Zhou was the first to arrive outside the labyrinth.

Behind him followed Dai Xiaomei and Mozi.

Because the black mist had dispersed, Song Yang quickly saw Li Zhou.

He extended his hand and waved, a smile on his face.

"Boss, long time no see!"

"You finally came!"
