39: The owner of the haunted house

"This... what's going on?"

"He... he... he's dead?!"

In Devils Castle, Dai Xiaomei and the others watched as the assistant was gradually corroded away, completely stunned.

Their minds were a blank.

The sight before them completely exceeded their understanding.

Especially when the assistant's head was corroded just now, the way his flesh and blood disappeared bit by bit was deeply imprinted in their minds.

It was more thrilling and real than any horror movie!

Watching a person die right in front of her eyes, this impact made Dai Xiaomei terrified, while also feeling a strong sense of nausea.

She couldn't hold it in and immediately threw up.

Yuan Hao and the other two were pretty much the same.

Although they were employees of the escape room, they were still ordinary people.

After hearing Dai Xiaomei's retching, the three of them also couldn't hold back, and for a while, only the sound of vomiting echoed in the corridor.

"This... Haunted House... has a big problem!!"

"This is... murder!"

"No, let's go back quickly, it's probably only safe at the starting point!"

"The livestream room viewers also saw it... ugh... someone will definitely call the Police Uncles."

"We'll just wait for... the Police Uncles' rescue... ugh!"

Yuan Hao almost threw up his guts.

He wiped the corner of his mouth, suppressing the fear and nausea in his heart, and said to the three people beside him.

Dai Xiaomei and the other two were already at a loss.

Hearing Yuan Hao's words, they immediately felt as if they had found their pillar of strength.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Hao didn't hesitate and directly led the way towards the passage they had just crawled out of.

However, his steps were a bit wobbly, clearly indicating that his body was already weak.

Looking at his back, Dai Xiaomei retched again, then trembled and followed along the wall.

At this moment, she no longer had any thoughts of gaining more followers.

This Haunted House was simply too perverted!

People dying as soon as they entered, who could handle this?

She really couldn't handle it; if it weren't for her last bit of rationality, Dai Xiaomei would probably have fainted by now.

The title of 'True Man of the Whole Network', whoever wants it can have it, she just wanted to go home now... Perhaps it was psychological, but at this moment, everyone felt that there was a putrid smell in the air.

Yuan Hao originally wanted to force himself to stand and walk, but in the end, he couldn't hold on and simply knelt down.

The four of them lined up, kneeling on the ground against the wall, inching their way towards the passage using both hands and feet.

"Call the police!"

"We must get out and call the police!"

"The owner of this Haunted House is definitely a pervert!"

Yuan Hao looked at the passage that was within reach, his eyes no longer holding the disdain he had when he arrived.

When he first entered the Castle, he was a bit confused.

So many players had entered the Castle before, even if there was no sound, logically there should have been some clues left behind.

Now Yuan Hao understood.

Those players were probably already harmed by the owner of this Haunted House!

As for the few people he saw at the very beginning, they must have been in cahoots with the owner, deliberately putting on a show for them!

The purpose was to trick them into the Castle!

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Yuan Hao never expected that in today's society, someone could be so deranged!

No wonder the Haunted House was opened in such a secluded location!

The terrified Yuan Hao at this moment didn't even consider that there were so many eyes watching in the livestream room; how could Li Zhou dare to harm people in front of so many people?

He just wanted to get back to the starting point quickly.

This Castle had a total of four floors, and just the top floor was so terrifying; he couldn't imagine what dangers lay below.

It was safest to stay at the starting point!

However, just as Yuan Hao was about to crawl directly in front of the passage, an unexpected scene occurred.

A huge head suddenly shot out from the passage.

"Holy crap!!"

"Ah!!"

Almost instinctively, Yuan Hao abruptly retreated.

Dai Xiaomei, who was trembling and following behind, was hit squarely on the forehead when he retreated.

Already a frightened bird, Dai Xiaomei couldn't help but let out a terrified scream after being hit by Yuan Hao.

Her scream instantly caused a chain reaction.

Qin Yao and Ye Kexin, being at the very back, couldn't clearly see what was happening in front.

After Dai Xiaomei screamed, their bodies trembled, and they almost fainted from fright.

"Stop screaming, it's me!"

In the passage, Song Yang knew it wasn't time for idle talk, and with a burst of energy, he directly crawled out.

After standing up, he looked at the pale-faced, terrified people in front of him, then looked at the corridor, and upon finding the assistant missing, Song Yang instantly understood what had happened.

Without hesitation, he immediately began to explain to everyone.

"Xiao Tao isn't dead, he should have respawned at the starting point by now."

"This Castle isn't real; it's an escape room scenario similar to a VR virtual game."

"In other words, everything we see now is fake."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

After explaining a few sentences at an extremely fast pace, Song Yang looked at the phone that had fallen on the ground not far away and quickly walked over.

Watching his back, the group remained in a state of confusion.

The assistant wasn't dead?

An escape room similar to a VR virtual game?

Everything in front of them was fake?

What was he even talking about!

Yuan Hao was the first to react, and he suddenly thought of something, his whole body trembling!

"VR virtual game?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could a virtual scene of this level exist in reality!?"

Ever since entering the Castle, whether it was sight, touch, or smell, everything felt extremely real.

Yuan Hao would never believe that this Haunted House, located in a secluded suburb with little reputation, would possess such technology!

Behind Yuan Hao, Dai Xiaomei was also stunned.

As a game Streamer, she had some understanding of virtual games.

Such games usually changed the objects and scenes in front of one's eyes through glasses or helmets.

But a game was still a game; the popular virtual games on the market, let alone fifty percent realism, were already quite good if they reached thirty percent.

Right now, where did the Castle they were in resemble a virtual scene?

It was completely a real location!

On the other side, Song Yang picked up his phone, only to find that the livestream room had been forcibly shut down due to a violation.

Hearing Yuan Hao's words from behind, he didn't explain much further, and directly extended his arm beneath the wall lamp, under the horrified gaze of everyone.

Seeing this, everyone's faces turned pale.

The assistant's previous tragic state still lingered in their minds, refusing to disappear.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, that wall lamp was simply the most terrifying thing in the world!

Song Yang was practically courting death!

"No!"

"Danger!"
