18: Officer, I've encountered a murderer!

The harsh, violent sound of a chainsaw echoed down the corridor.

Everyone instinctively looked back.

A terrifying figure came into view.

Crimson eyes, white bandages wrapped around his face, a tall body, and a chainsaw held high!

Almost instantly, everyone felt their hearts stop.

Especially the few people at the very back; two of them fainted on the spot!

A murderer?

A psychopath?

A butcher?

One terrifying identity after another flashed through everyone's minds.

No one guessed that this might be an NPC from the Haunted House.

Of course, the main reason was that no one had the presence of mind to guess at that moment.

The bloodthirsty aura emanating from Goethe almost suffocated them, leaving their minds blank.

Those with smaller guts had already uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, their eyes rolling back.

Even those with bigger guts also felt their legs give way, falling heavily to the ground.

Sun Yong was clearly one of the latter.

Of course, this didn't rule out that he was furthest from Goethe, and thus experienced the least pressure.

He wanted to turn around and run away with Song Yang and his assistant.

But his legs were completely disobedient now, soft as if they had no bones.

Yes, he was scared stiff.

If it were just Goethe's aura, he might not have reacted so poorly.

But the deafening sound of the chainsaw was like the whispers of the Grim Reaper.

If he didn't run... he would die!

A desperate and terrifying thought began to rise in Sun Yong's mind.

"Ah!!!"

Under the psychological stimulus and the sound of the chainsaw in his ears, Sun Yong finally stood up again.

He let out a terrified scream, just like the assistant before him.

This scream of fear allowed him to temporarily regain control of his body.

Without hesitation, he immediately bolted forward.

As for the students behind him, he didn't even spare them a glance.

"Hmm? He can actually run?"

"He's got some guts."

In the monitoring room, Li Zhou looked at the fleeing Sun Yong with some surprise.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying his employee's aura was.

"No wonder his tone was so arrogant, but how far can you run?"

"There's a surprise waiting ahead."

Shaking his head with a smile, Li Zhou comfortably crossed his legs.

[fright value +8]

[fright value +14]

[fright value +16]

On the system panel, the amount of fright value was continuously rising.

Although Song Yang didn't film Goethe's figure, the audience in the livestream room still heard everyone's screams.

And the continuous sound of the chainsaw.

It was unknown if Goethe's chainsaw had some special effect.

In the livestream room, every audience member who heard the chainsaw felt their scalp tingle for some unknown reason.

At this moment, Song Yang was running towards the exit at arguably the fastest speed of his life.

The screams of the crowd, the constantly shaking camera, Song Yang's heavy, panicked breathing.

All these situations combined, an indescribable thrill surged through the hearts of all the viewers.

It was like a first-person perspective.

[Damn! What's going on? Why did the Streamer suddenly start running?]

[What's that sound? A chainsaw? Why do I feel a little Mao Mao inside?]

[Streamer, don't run! Aren't you known as Song the Bold? Let us see what's happening!]

[Oh no, it's shaking so much that I'm starting to get nervous.]

The bullet comments continued to scroll.

However, Song Yang clearly had no time to reply at this moment.

Although Li Zhou told him that Goethe was a robot and wouldn't actually harm anyone.

But when he turned around and met Goethe's emotionless eyes, Song Yang couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fear.

The feeling that the other party would kill him surged into his heart again.

He wouldn't harm anyone? That's a load of rubbish!

Goethe's chainsaw was already raised high; Song Yang dared not bet on how reliable Li Zhou's custom robot truly was!

The robot might be fake, but the damn chainsaw was real!

What if there was a malfunction and the chainsaw fell down... Just thinking about that scene made Song Yang shiver again.

At this moment, three figures were frantically running through the Haunted House.

The first was the assistant, tears streaming down his face, almost calling for his mother.

The second was Song Yang, clutching his phone, his face filled with panic.

As for the third, it was Sun Yong, who had caught up from behind.

In fact, after running out of the passage, Sun Yong instinctively turned his head for a look.

But that one glance showed him a terrifying scene he would probably never forget in his life!

Goethe held a chainsaw in one hand and one of his classmates in the other.

He looked as if he was grabbing a chick.

His scalp instantly tingled, and Sun Yong completely lost the courage to look back, beginning to run continuously with Song Yang.

"It's over, it's all over!"

"How did that terrifying guy appear here?"

"Did the boss do it on purpose?"

"No... impossible, if we all died, he would definitely not escape responsibility."

While running frantically forward, various thoughts flashed through Sun Yong's mind.

There was regret, fear, anger, and confusion.

He just wanted to take some like-minded classmates to challenge the various Haunted Houses in Jinling during the holidays.

Who knew that just as the challenge was about to be completed, such a thing would happen!

No, he had to call the police quickly!

Maybe he could still save a few classmates!

Sun Yong still had some courage; at this moment, his consciousness had not yet become muddled due to fear.

Looking at the two people running frantically ahead, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

Without hesitation, he dialed the emergency number directly.

"Hello? Police Uncles?

"Wuwuwu, help me, my... my classmate died!"

"Where am I? Uh... let me think... Tianfeng Haunted House!"

"Yes, I'm at Tianfeng Haunted House right now!"

"You guys hurry over, there's a murderer here!!!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yong was panting heavily, already feeling a hint of exhaustion.

However, he dared not stop for a moment.

The harsh sound of the chainsaw behind him never stopped.

That murderer had been following him the entire time!

Thinking that his classmate might have already been harmed, tears welled up in Sun Yong's eyes.

"Classmates, I'm sorry, I brought this upon you all!"

"If I hadn't insisted on bringing you here, you wouldn't have..."

"Wuwuwu!"

Sun Yong murmured to himself while wiping his tears.

Because Song Yang was still some distance from Sun Yong, and due to the harsh chainsaw sound, he didn't hear what Sun Yong was saying.

At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to avoid the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery later.

That's right, Song Yang still remembered that there was a zombie in the Haunted House, no less terrifying than the guy behind him!

Suddenly, a red light appeared ahead.

Looking up, Song Yang then realized that a row of lanterns emitting red light had appeared on the wall of the path ahead.

Lanterns... wait a minute!

As if he had thought of something, Song Yang was overjoyed.

He remembered seeing these lanterns earlier in the morning.

In that case, was the employee passage next to it?
