151: Let Song Yang be your lifebuoy!
As everyone knows.
In a Haunted House, NPCs, in addition to scaring people, sometimes also play a guiding role.
Given the current situation, it won't be long before everyone falls into the water.
The only one who can save everyone right now seems to be the Boatman at the stern.
Previously, because Mozi was afraid of water, she clung tightly to Dai Xiaomei's clothes after getting on the boat and didn't pay attention to her surroundings at all.
Moreover, Song Yang hadn't told her anything before, so she didn't see the two warning signs on the side of the boat.
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Mozi subconsciously wanted to ask the Boatman.
Fortunately, Song Yang hadn't lost his composure at this moment, and since he was sitting next to the Boatman, he immediately saw Mozi's gaze looking behind him.
And her mouth was slightly open, as if she was about to say something.
Remembering the warning on the side of the boat, Song Yang didn't have time to think and directly reached out to cover Mozi's mouth.
"Wuwu!"
Mozi, with her mouth covered, stared with wide eyes, looking at Song Yang in disbelief.
What's wrong with this guy?!
"Don't talk to the guy behind me!"
Even though the anomaly coming from under their feet was becoming clearer, Song Yang still had no intention of asking the Boatman.
Looking at the struggling Mozi, he let go of her hand and quickly whispered a reminder.
Her previous action clearly showed she wanted to talk to the Boatman.
The current situation was already bad enough; if something happened to the Boatman, everyone would truly be helpless.
"Then what do we do now?"
"Are we just going to sit here and wait to fall into the water?"
Hearing Song Yang's words, Mozi's chest heaved continuously, clearly greatly frightened.
After gasping for breath for a long time, she looked at Song Yang and asked urgently.
It wasn't her fault for being so scared; if she knew how to swim, she would at most only be a little panicked right now.
In the livestream room, the audience began to jeer.
Some typed messages advising everyone to just jump down, saying that given the current situation, they would fall into the water sooner or later anyway.
In Song Yang's livestream room, Tang Shan looked at the panicked Mozi on the screen and pursed her lips slightly.
From the beginning, she had imagined everyone on the boat as Celebrities invited by the bureau.
The challenge would definitely be livestreamed, so no accidents could happen.
In addition to being exciting and thrilling, absolute personal safety had to be guaranteed.
This way, it could serve as promotion while also attracting tourists from all over the country to the Haunted House.
The current situation clearly seemed to be beyond what the players themselves could handle.
There were no tools on the boat, nor could they drive away the unknown creatures underwater.
Her assistant had previously filmed the warnings on the side of the boat, so Tang Shan also knew not to disturb the Boatman.
Could it be that they really just had to fall into the water?
Looking at the livestream room, Tang Shan was already wondering if she should have the Celebrities who came to challenge bring life jackets.
She wasn't afraid of anything dangerous underwater and believed that Li Zhou wouldn't joke with people's lives.
Those dark shadows were probably schools of fish.
As for the biting sound, it was also very likely produced by sound equipment hidden under the boat.
Although she was over thirty, she understood a little about the equipment and operating principles of places like Haunted Houses or escape rooms.
To sum it up in one sentence, it was all fake.
All the facilities in the Haunted House had only one purpose: to scare the players.
It was just that the level of fright in Tianfeng Haunted House was clearly far beyond its peers.
It had even reached the point of being indistinguishable from reality.
If she didn't know that the people in the picture were in a Haunted House, Tang Shan would have thought they were exploring some underground cave.
If Li Zhou knew Tang Shan's thoughts, he would definitely say, "You actually guessed correctly."
Song Yang and these people were indeed in an underground cave right now.
Whether it was the previous cliff or the underground river, they were all as real as could be.
However, these things were all the system's masterpieces.
In the monitoring room, Li Zhou looked at the panicked crowd on the river, and his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile, as usual.
He had been busy until the early hours of the morning yesterday, only then resting.
His goal was to create a Haunted House full of surprises from beginning to end.
After players walked down the steps, they would more or less feel a palpitation in their hearts because of the abyss below their feet.
After getting on the boat, they would also lose their usual composure.
This was a chain reaction.
In fact, if this group of people calmed down, they would find that although the gnawing sound under their feet was constant, the bottom of the boat was not affected in any way.
There were no holes, and no cracks appeared.
This group of people was so panicked, completely scaring themselves.
If they could sit quietly on the boat, they would safely reach the end.
The small boat carrying eight people was also specially set by Li Zhou after measurement.
If there were fewer, the entire hull would become stable, and even jumping would be fine.
If there were more, even the slightest movement could cause the hull to shift.
Eight people was just right.
As long as half of the people were panicked by the movement under the water, the entire hull would become less stable.
So if someone fell into the water later, it was actually their own doing.
In addition, that warning was also a foreshadowing.
If someone on the boat talked to the water ghost, then the water ghost could reveal its true face.
At that time, even if every player on the boat had the same courage as Song Yang, they would be so scared by the water ghost that they couldn't sit still.
The final result would naturally be falling into the water.
Currently, it seems that besides Mozi, whether it was the four players or Song Yang and the others, although they seemed a bit nervous, they still had some rationality and knew not to panic.
Only Mozi, because she couldn't swim, had much greater inner fear than the others.
After Song Yang covered her mouth, she almost wanted to burrow into Dai Xiaomei's arms.
If the river under her feet were clear to the bottom, she wouldn't be so scared.
But unfortunately, the surrounding light was very dim, and the river surface was as dark as an abyss.
Coupled with the faint black shadows underwater, Mozi would rather die than fall into the water now.
Besides not being able to swim, she also had a bit of thalassophobia.
She was most afraid of such water surfaces where she couldn't see the bottom.
"Don't panic!"
"I feel like the boss wouldn't play such a big game!"
"After all, we just came in and haven't even seen a decent venue yet!"
"If we fall into the water, we definitely can't continue later."
"Given the boss's personality, he definitely wouldn't only have these tricks."
"The scary stuff must still be hidden further back."
Looking at Mozi's pale face, Song Yang quickly spoke to comfort her.
Hearing his words, Dai Xiaomei took a deep breath and nodded in agreement: "I think so too!"
"Since we can't do anything now, it's better to respond to changes with no change."
"This boat is already small, and it shakes violently with even a slight movement."
"Let's just wait quietly for now; at worst, if it sinks, I'll let Song Yang be your life preserver!"
