144: Forbidden Music

“You pig-headed idiot, didn't you see that the boss and Xiao Lu didn't run at all?”

“If those bugs were real just now, do you think they would have those expressions?”

Hearing that Mozi actually wanted to flee the battle, Dai Xiaomei immediately spoke with annoyance.

Hearing her words, Mozi was stunned.

However, she couldn't be blamed.

Dai Xiaomei and Song Yang had, after all, experienced the castle challenge, but she was visiting the Tianfeng Haunted House for the first time.

The videos she had watched before were, in the end, still through a screen, completely different from reality.

Coming here and immediately encountering a sea of bugs, who wouldn't want to escape?

“So, you mean everything we saw just now was fake?”

Coming back to her senses, a look of surprise appeared on Mozi's face.

Real or fake?

Is it that exaggerated?

Although she was a game Streamer, she considered her eyesight to be quite good.

She could even see the squirming legs of the bugs that crawled out from under the cliff, generating sparks as they rubbed against the ground.

You're telling me such a realistic scene was fake?

How high-tech would the equipment need to be to create such a lifelike image?

If it's not fake, then is it real?

Seeing her good friend finally react, Dai Xiaomei spoke again, annoyed.

She opened her mouth, about to say something more, but suddenly heard Song Yang's uneasy voice from not far away.

“Don't!”

Let me take a moment!

On the other side, Song Yang, pulling his still unconscious assistant, struggled to move towards Dai Xiaomei.

However, at the ticket counter, Fang Xiaolu could no longer contain her curiosity and pressed a new button.

This button also had a text description below it.

Just two simple words: Music.

The moment it was pressed, a strange sound suddenly echoed from the cave-like rock crevices above their heads.

It was like background music, yet also like some kind of humming.

The moment they heard this sound, except for Li Zhou and Fang Xiaolu at the ticket counter, Song Yang, Dai Xiaomei, and Mozi all got goosebumps almost simultaneously.

It was like a song from hell, fragmented and seductive, yet filled with chilling whispers.

The three of them uniformly reached out and covered their ears.

At the same time, expressions of pain appeared on their faces.

“Boss, what's wrong with them?”

At the ticket counter, after pressing the button, Fang Xiaolu pricked up her ears to listen herself.

But she found that she heard nothing.

She initially thought she hadn't pressed the button properly, but then looked up and saw the three people not far away with pained expressions.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaolu was immediately puzzled.

“Perhaps they were shocked by the music.”

Li Zhou looked at the reactions of Dai Xiaomei and the other two, nodding with satisfaction.

As expected of one of the Ten Forbidden Melodies, even Song Yang, who was usually so carefree, couldn't quite handle it.

No.

The strange sound echoing around the platform at this moment was a BGM that Li Zhou had purchased from the System Mall, named 'The Thirteenth Pair of Eyes'.

The system description stated that this BGM could evoke the greatest pain within a person.

Those with weak psychological tolerance might even be unable to bear it and commit suicide directly!

Therefore, this BGM was also an edited version.

But even after being edited, its power should not be underestimated.

From the reactions of Dai Xiaomei and the other two at this moment, it was clear they were not having an easy time!

As for why Li Zhou himself and Fang Xiaolu didn't hear it, it was because the ticket counter could block all negative effects.

At this moment, listening to the terrifying sound constantly echoing in his ears, Song Yang, while tightly covering his ears, forcibly suppressed the inexplicable pain that had appeared in his heart and shouted to Fang Xiaolu at the ticket counter: “Turn it off quickly!”

Because of the BGM, Song Yang's shout sounded very clear.

Fang Xiaolu came back to her senses and quickly pressed the button labeled 'Music' again.

Just like before, the moment she pressed it, the BGM abruptly stopped.

The terrifying sound echoing in their ears disappeared, and Song Yang and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Yang and Dai Xiaomei were fine; they had, after all, seen some things.

But at this moment, Mozi was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

That BGM just now was the most terrifying music she had ever heard in her life.

If Fang Xiaolu hadn't turned it off, she wasn't sure how long she could have lasted.

Just now, for the first time in her life, she had the urge to jump off a building!

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

How could this Tianfeng Haunted House be so perverse!

Looking at Li Zhou, who had a calm expression at the ticket counter, Mozi once again considered backing out.

Is it necessary to make it so terrifying and realistic?

This is a Haunted House, not a coffin shop!

Players come to play to experience excitement, not to actually die!

“Amazing... absolutely amazing!”

“Holy cow, this is the first time I've heard such terrifying music!”

Compared to Mozi's fear, Song Yang suddenly became excited.

From entering the door until now, only a few short minutes had passed.

But these few minutes had shown him a completely different Haunted House!

If he had previously thought that Tianfeng Haunted House had a sixty or seventy percent chance of becoming extremely popular.

Now, he felt the probability had reached one hundred percent!

Moreover, it would be the kind that would definitely become popular nationwide!

Song Yang was now somewhat eager to see what the inside of the Haunted House had become!

“Old Wang, where are you?”

“You might be busy today.”

At the ticket counter, Li Zhou's gaze shifted to the still unconscious assistant.

Checking the time, he took out his phone and called Wang Lin, who had previously applied for the medical staff position.

“Boss, I'll be there soon.”

Wang Lin's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Li Zhou hung up the phone and gestured to Fang Xiaolu.

Fang Xiaolu immediately understood, walked down from the ticket counter, jogged to the entrance, and shouted to the players outside, who were still somewhat uneasy because of the Black and White Impermanence: “Everyone, come in and buy tickets!”

After shouting, she jogged back to the ticket counter.

“Boss, after they buy their tickets, should they walk along this platform?”

The energetic Fang Xiaolu was very excited now; she was already eager to try out what effects the other buttons had.

“Hmm.”

Li Zhou smiled and nodded.

At the end of the platform, he had arranged for a dedicated guiding employee.

“Alright, are you guys okay?”

“Your task today is to livestream well for me and completely establish the Haunted House's reputation!”

“If you do well, I will hand over all the livestreaming rights for the Haunted House to you in the future.”

“If others want to come, you decide.”

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Zhou walked down from the ticket counter and came to Song Yang and the others.

Hearing his words, Song Yang was the first to react.

He had also heard Li Zhou call Wang Lin just now, so he wasn't too worried about the assistant.

“Don't worry, Boss!”

“My concern isn't whether I can livestream well, but whether your Haunted House is powerful enough!”

“As long as your Haunted House is powerful, I'll get you a million online viewers!”
