154: Are corpse beetles real?!

"This... how is this possible!"

In an office at the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Tang Shan, who had been sitting calmly, unconsciously stood up.

Looking at Song Yang howling in the livestream room, her face was filled with shock!

Those Corpse Beetles... were real?!

How could this be possible!

Is Li Zhou really not afraid of causing deaths?!

These bugs are bigger than a person's palm; if someone gets bitten, what then?!

"What are you doing? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Peng Yu, who had just stepped out, pushed open the door and asked with a smile, looking at the shocked Tang Shan.

He hadn't been constantly checking his phone, so he didn't know the situation in the livestream room.

"You... come and see for yourself!"

Even with Tang Shan's extensive experience, she was now frightened by Li Zhou's Haunted House.

She never imagined that these bugs, which seemed to exist only in movies, were actually real!

After grabbing a Corpse Beetle, Song Yang also froze for a moment.

After reacting, he, like the previous woman, let out a sharp shriek.

Then, as if electrocuted, he began shaking his hand repeatedly.

However, the Corpse Beetle, as if sentient, clung tightly to his hand and wouldn't let go!

"Let me see."

Peng Yu leaned over to the phone and happened to see Song Yang shaking the Corpse Beetle in his hand.

In an instant, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Holy moly, what is that thing?!"

The appearance of the Corpse Beetles was truly terrifying.

Even though Song Yang's hand was shaking so fast it created afterimages, Peng Yu still glimpsed its general appearance.

But soon, he snapped back to reality.

Upon seeing the name of the livestream room, he immediately looked up, his face also showing shock.

"This is something from the Tianfeng Haunted House?"

"Isn't this just reckless!"

You know, those Celebrities are all very delicate.

It was already difficult enough to invite them to a Haunted House for a challenge.

Who would have thought Li Zhou would even increase the difficulty!

Let alone Celebrities, even the bravest person would be scared witless seeing these bugs, right?!

"Let's watch for a bit. I don't think things are that simple!"

Tang Shan had calmed down a little by now.

Shaking her head, she looked back at her phone.

Deep down, she still believed that Li Zhou, who could build a Haunted House like this, would never be so foolish.

Undeniably, places like Haunted Houses do need some excitement.

However, the excitement shouldn't be over the top!

Putting everything else aside, who wouldn't exclaim "holy crap" seeing this scene in the livestream room right now?

If this were real, who would dare go to the Tianfeng Haunted House in the future?

This would no longer be a challenge, but a death wish.

At this moment, the audience in the livestream room also erupted.

Initially, after seeing Song Yang's actions, many smart people had already guessed that the Corpse Beetles might be fake.

After all, the Tianfeng Haunted House was now famous for its advanced equipment.

Whether it was the Devils Castle before, or the strange Energetic Young Man later, it all showed that if the Tianfeng Haunted House wanted to, it could entirely create a group of virtual Corpse Beetles.

However, events always unfold beyond people's expectations.

No one expected that the Corpse Beetles were actually real!

At this moment, Song Yang's face was extremely pale.

It was true that he was brave, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of anything.

They weren't in the castle now!

Forget about dying, even a slight injury wouldn't recover!

Upon seeing that his hand did not pass through the Corpse Beetle as he had imagined, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp.

Without hesitation, he instinctively let out a pig-like squeal and began to demonstrate the hand speed of someone single for over twenty years.

His outstretched arm was swung so fast it created afterimages, like a fiery wheel.

Everyone on the boat watched his actions and also started to get agitated.

One after another, they scrambled towards the center of the boat, fearing that a Corpse Beetle might appear on them if they weren't careful.

With their movements, the small boat began to sway violently.

As if it would capsize at any moment.

Screams rose again.

Mozi gripped Dai Xiaomei's shoulder tightly again, trembling uncontrollably.

Unable to swim, with deep-sea phobia, and Corpse Beetles—her buffs were stacked, and even though she was still on the boat, she felt a bit breathless now.

Because she was too nervous and terrified, Mozi didn't notice that her phone, due to her movements, was pointed directly at Dai Xiaomei's chest.

Her livestream room audience had also been scared by the scene before them.

However, a moment later, the entire barrage of comments uniformly scrolled with "So white."

Dai Xiaomei also didn't notice the anomaly on her chest; at this moment, she watched Song Yang at the stern, bouncing and flailing his arms like a shaman performing a ritual, and she too was extremely tense.

At the same time, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Something's not right!

How could it be real?

Didn't the boss say that while his Haunted House was scary, it would absolutely not cause players any harm beyond psychological distress?

Dai Xiaomei felt that she and Song Yang must have missed something.

However, the scene was already out of control, the boat was swaying violently, leaving her no time to think carefully.

She could only grip the boat tightly while praying for it to reach shore quickly.

She couldn't help it; she wasn't wearing much today.

If she fell into the water, setting aside everything else, after getting ashore, while she could still livestream, it probably wouldn't be facing herself.

She wouldn't mind showing the brothers in the livestream room what a wet body temptation looked like, after all, they were buddies, looking wouldn't cost a piece of flesh, and it could also increase a lot of popularity.

However, the Super Moderator definitely wouldn't allow it.

At the stern, the Water Ghost looked at the panicking crowd, and his frozen lips curved up again.

He had originally thought his plan would be ruined again by the dead fatty in front of him, but who would have thought, this guy didn't feel carefully at all when he grabbed the Corpse Beetle.

The Corpse Beetles were fake, and Li Zhou wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

However, the Water Ghost could use his own abilities to add some physical sensation to the originally virtual Corpse Beetles.

But he could only do this much; he couldn't make the Corpse Beetles truly come alive.

"Jump, everything will be fine if you jump down!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let anything happen to you!"

Looking at the flustered crowd in front of him, the Water Ghost wished he could join in and add some burden to the small boat.

But since no one had asked him for help yet, he could only watch silently.

Using his own abilities to make the Corpse Beetles leap out of the water and materialize was already his limit.

Now, all he could do was wait.

As long as a player fell into the water, he would receive a reward.

The more that fell in, the more rewards he would get.

"Wait, the boat seems to be nearing the shore!"

"Everyone, calm down first!"

Just as the small boat was about to give up and capsize.

A player sitting at the bow suddenly saw a glimmer of light not far away.

Immediately, his face lit up with ecstasy, and he shouted loudly.

Hearing him, everyone except Song Yang was instantly drawn to his words.

They all turned their heads and looked towards the front of the small boat.

Sure enough, not far ahead, a huge open space came into view.
