69: Upstairs, something's not right with you!

Before long, Chen Ze and Old Hei, looking utterly bewildered, reunited with Li Zhou and the others on the third floor.

By this time, the vampire had been forced back by the crucifix, and the door was closed again.

To prevent the two from noticing anything amiss, Song Yang proactively explained that he and Dai Xiaomei had only opened the first two rooms yesterday.

As for the third, they had no idea what was inside.

Dai Xiaomei suppressed a laugh and agreed, while Li Zhou continued to focus on filming everyone.

Fang Xiaolu looked at Chen Ze and Old Hei, who were nodding blankly, and shook her head slightly.

The poor two guys still didn't know what they were truly about to face.

"There weren't any props in that room just now, let's keep going downstairs."

While the two were still in a state of confusion, Song Yang spoke up, directing everyone to the second floor.

At this moment, not only did Chen Ze and his companion not realize they had been tricked, but the audience in the livestream room also didn't notice anything wrong.

Many bullet comments were still marveling that Tianfeng Haunted House lived up to its reputation for being able to scare Song Yang unconscious.

They had only just started the livestream, and their Streamer had already 'died' twice.

It was fortunate that everything was virtual; otherwise, this escape room would probably be impossible to clear.

Soon, led by Song Yang, everyone arrived on the second floor.

Dai Xiaomei overtook Song Yang, moving to the very front of the group.

Seeing this, her livestream room's fans nearly died of fright.

"Oh my, the Old Woman has really changed; she actually dares to go first!"

"Didn't she see what happened to those two guys just now?"

"I can already predict what's going to happen next. Streamer, have a good journey, no farewell!"

"I bet the Old Woman will 'die' within ten minutes!"

Although Dai Xiaomei didn't film Chen Ze and Old Hei's faces, it had been nearly an hour since everyone started the livestream.

The popularity of the three Streamers jointly challenging Tianfeng Haunted House had risen, attracting many viewers.

Many people also flooded into Dai Xiaomei's livestream room, and through their accounts, Dai Xiaomei's fans also learned who the other two challengers were.

Seeing the bullet comments almost uniformly wishing her a 'good journey' without farewell, Dai Xiaomei's face darkened.

"Do you all really like seeing the Streamer 'die' so much?"

As her words fell, the content of the bullet comments suddenly changed.

The unified four characters, "Streamer, run fast," filled the entire screen.

Seeing this, Dai Xiaomei's face lit up with joy.

She looked up, and sure enough, the familiar figure of the little girl came into view.

The reason she had overtaken Song Yang earlier was to be the first to meet Ellie.

"Ellie, did you miss your big sister?"

Ignoring the dissuasion from the bullet comments in her livestream room, Dai Xiaomei walked directly over to Ellie and reached out to ruffle her little head.

Unbeknownst to her, this scene not only made the fans in her own livestream room tremble with fear, but behind her, Chen Ze and Old Hei were also stunned.

"No way, is she really that brave?"

They naturally saw Ellie, but they didn't relax their guard at all just because Ellie was a little girl.

The moment they saw Ellie, they instinctively tensed their glutes, ready to run at any moment.

There was no other way; this castle was simply too eerie.

The middle-aged man they had just encountered also looked harmless, but the next second, he stepped forward and twisted their necks into pretzels.

Who knew if this little girl in front of them would also suddenly lash out?

"Look at you two, your faces are white with fear."

"How scary can a little girl be?"

Song Yang and Chen Ze had a good relationship, so he directly mocked him.

Hearing his words, Chen Ze shook his head frantically.

"You're just talking without feeling the pain; you didn't see the NPC in that room just now, did you?"

"I've realized that this escape room can't be judged by common sense. Who knows what inconspicuous thing could take a life!"

Chen Ze's livestream room fans agreed with his statement.

The zero-frame startup at close range was too terrifying; they didn't want to see it again.

Even though it was the Streamer who 'died,' they were still scared through the screen!

"Brother and sister, why are you here again today?"

Clearly, Ellie had her own memories.

Upon seeing Dai Xiaomei and Song Yang, a hint of surprise appeared on her small face.

"Haha, isn't it because we missed you?"

"Today, I'm introducing you to a few new friends."

Dai Xiaomei smiled warmly; she genuinely liked this well-behaved little girl.

Of course, she also liked Fang Xiaolu.

At this moment, after seeing Ellie, Fang Xiaolu's eyes immediately lit up.

However, because of Chen Ze and Old Hei's recent experience, even though Dai Xiaomei had already stepped forward, she still turned to look at Li Zhou and Song Yang's expressions.

Seeing that the two seemed to have no guard, she relaxed.

Taking two steps at a time, she directly walked up to Ellie's side.

"Is this an original NPC in the castle? Wow, she looks so real!"

Perhaps The girl all prefer cute things. Even though Fang Xiaolu herself was very cute, she still couldn't resist reaching out her hand and friendly introducing herself: "My name is Fang Xiaolu, and I'm also an employee of the Haunted House!"

"If you think about it, we're kind of colleagues!"

Ellie and Fang Xiaolu had completely opposite personalities.

One was well-behaved and sensible, the other was playful and lively.

The sight of two equally cute little girls standing together made many viewers in the livestream room forget that this was a terrifying and thrilling escape room.

Many young women's eyes sparkled, and they frantically asked who these two were.

Facing Fang Xiaolu's friendly gesture, Ellie also extended her small hand and introduced herself.

Upon hearing that she was captured by the castle's owner, many fans she had captured clamored for their Streamer to severely punish the owner!

Seeing that there seemed to be no real danger, Chen Ze and Old Hei also relaxed.

The two once again took the initiative to step forward.

"Oh, Old Hei, look, how lovely this NPC is!"

Chen Ze rubbed his hands, wanting to go up and say hello.

But because the other party was a virtual NPC, he felt it was strange.

Many virtual scenes or games would set up some NPCs.

But those NPCs all looked like they were pre-programmed, without any feeling of a real person.

Ellie in front of him, however, was different.

From her micro-expressions and her conversation with Dai Xiaomei just now, she looked like a real little girl in every way.

"Alright, I know you're a doting father."

"If you want to say hello, just go ahead."

Hearing Chen Ze's slightly excited voice, Old Hei shook his head.

"But, I always feel a bit strange about this."

"To be honest, I'm a bit confused whether this is virtual or real."

Chen Ze spoke, and his words resonated with many people in the livestream room, drawing admiration.

"I've noticed it too; this Haunted House is absolutely amazing! Whether it's the scenery, sound effects, or lighting, you can't tell it's virtual at all!"

"It's chilling to think about! Didn't you hear what that little girl said just now? She actually remembered that the Old Woman came in yesterday!"

"What's the big deal? With such advanced technology nowadays, creating a virtual NPC with memory is not difficult at all."

"Please, my wife is seriously ill, and I urgently need to know how to create a realistic NPC like the Tianfeng Haunted House!"

"Upstairs, you're not right!"
