43: Let's exchange contact information.

"Officer Chen, my Haunted House really doesn't have anything like that."

"Look at these players, they're having so much fun!"

Inside the monitoring room, Li Zhou looked at the screen and said with a smile to Chen Chuan, who was beside him.

Hearing his words, including Chen Chuan, the other two police officers all twitched their mouths.

Even Fang Xiaolu slightlyShrink her neck.

Boss... are you sure these players are happy?

The monitoring screen was divided into several sections, corresponding to the outside, middle, and inside of the Haunted House.

At this moment, it was clearly visible that in the innermost part of the Haunted House, seven or eight players were running away, their faces covered in snot and tears.

Screams continuously emanated from the screen, and the fear almost overflowed the screen.

Chen Chuan silently watched the monitor.

He finally understood now what Fang Xiaolu meant by buying pants earlier.

Among these seven or eight fleeing players, almost more than half had obvious stains on their pants.

"Our police station received a report saying that someone in your Haunted House was corroded to death by sulfuric acid."

"Is that true?"

Because of the previous cases, Chen Chuan did not directly take down Li Zhou and then search the Haunted House as he had before.

He explained the reason for his visit, and his sharp eyes moved from the monitor screen to Li Zhou.

"Sulfuric acid corrosion?"

Hearing Chen Chuan's words, a hint of realization flashed in Li Zhou's eyes.

"Officer Chen, I probably know what happened."

Stretching out his hand, Li Zhou pointed to the Devils Castle on the screen.

"This is a new venue we built in our store."

"This castle uses VR technology, allowing players to experience the fun of the game firsthand."

"Currently, inside this castle, a Streamer is challenging it... it's that fat guy who was scared unconscious last time."

"Because it's a projection, it's possible that the Streamer didn't explain it to the audience in the livestream room beforehand, so it might have been misunderstood again."

VR projection?

Hearing Li Zhou's explanation, Chen Chuan looked thoughtfully at the castle.

If that was the case, then it wasn't surprising.

After all, the police station had received countless bizarre cases over the years, and the public's vigilance had risen sharply, so they would think of notifying Police Uncles with the slightest disturbance.

Sometimes this would be a great help, but sometimes it would just be a false alarm, like the previous two times.

"Well, it seems your boss's VR projection technology is quite impressive, otherwise, those viewers wouldn't have been scared enough to call the police."

After understanding the cause of the matter, Chen Chuan suddenly became interested.

"Boss, can I go in and try it?"

"Ah?"

Li Zhou was stunned when he heard Chen Chuan's words.

"No?"

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.

"It's not that I can't, it's just..."

Li Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, saying with a wry smile: "It's just that if Officer Chen, you get scared, would that count as... assaulting a police officer?"

It wasn't that he didn't trust Chen Chuan.

The main reason was that there were too many dangers in the Devils Castle, and a slight carelessness could lead to death.

Although it was fake, the feeling of death was not fake.

So far, almost everyone who entered the castle, after experiencing death, would be scared for a long time before recovering.

As for those who watched their teammates die with their own eyes, they were even more terrified... "Assaulting a police officer? What are you thinking?"

When Chen Chuan heard Li Zhou's words, three black lines immediately appeared on his forehead.

The two police officers standing behind him also couldn't help but laugh.

"This boss, we admit that your Haunted House has some skill, but with this, you can't scare our captain."

The two police officers had also participated in the previous two operations.

They had also seen the zombies and Goethe.

To be honest, when they first saw them, they did feel a little uneasy inside.

But Chen Chuan did not.

He was, after all, a criminal police captain, and he had encountered countless dangers over the years.

He could be said to have crawled out of a pile of dead bodies.

To think that a mere Haunted House could scare him seemed too childish.

At this moment, Chen Chuan waved his hand, suddenly changing the subject, "Alright, I just said that casually."

"Tell me the name of that Streamer, and I'll go back and check the livestream replay."

Although it was another misunderstanding, what needed to be investigated still had to be investigated.

Chen Chuan was also very curious about what kind of scene it was that could make those netizens bombard their police station with calls.

"No problem, the Streamer's name is Song Yang, and his TikTok account name is Song the Bold."

Seeing that Chen Chuan was not planning to continue entering the Haunted House, Li Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Scaring ordinary players was fine, but if he scared the Police Uncles, that would be a sin.

Chen Chuan wrote down Song Yang's name and then prepared to leave.

However, suddenly, as if he remembered something, he took out his phone and said to Li Zhou again:

"Oh, right, let's exchange contact information."

"I have a feeling I'll receive another report about this place next time."

...Just after Li Zhou had seen Officer Chen off, inside the Devils Castle.

After Yuan Hao went downstairs, Song Yang and the others waited in place.

Then, as time passed, Yuan Hao's figure never appeared from behind.

"Could this path really be the right one?"

Looking at the gloomy staircase, Song Yang stroked his chin.

The time had already far exceeded five minutes, and to be safe, he and the others deliberately waited for another three minutes.

As a result, Yuan Hao seemed to have completely disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

If this path was wrong, he would have been resurrected long ago.

"Alright, no need to wait, let's take this staircase."

After making up his mind, Song Yang immediately stood up, ready to go down the stairs.

However, just then, Ye Kexin behind him suddenly spoke: "Wait, I saw Yuan Hao!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their heads.

Indeed, in the passage not far behind, Yuan Hao slowly crawled out.

Seeing this scene, Song Yang immediately retracted his foot.

"Oh my, why are you so slow?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking at Yuan Hao running towards them, Song Yang shouted.

If it weren't for Ye Kexin's reminder, he would have almost gone down.

"I... I'm fine!"

"Everything you said before was right, this Haunted House... it's amazing!"

Yuan Hao's face at this moment showed none of his previous solemnity.

He was excited, looking almost exactly like the previous players.

It was clear that he had already experienced the taste of death once.

As an employee of an escape room, he himself was an escape room enthusiast.

This castle beneath his feet, whether in terms of realism or playability, simply refreshed his understanding.

He had never seen any escape room that could be as realistic as Li Zhou's Haunted House!

The feeling before death was still deeply etched in his mind, causing palpitations, yet also an inexplicable excitement!

"The first hint was correct!"

"And, I also found the item corresponding to the second hint!"

Running to the front of the group in one breath, Yuan Hao slowly extended his hand under the puzzled gaze of Song Yang and the others.

The next moment, an ancient crucifix came into everyone's view.
