71: It's that familiar attic again.

There was only one danger on the second floor of the castle: the several Demonic Hounds behind the fence at the end of the corridor.

Previously, Song Yang and Dai Xiaomei had been bitten by these Demonic Hounds.

That feeling was simply incredible.

Avoiding the Demonic Hounds could be said to be simple; one only needed to hide in the first room on the second floor.

But this required Ellie's guidance.

This was also the meaning of 'a lone hand is hard to clap' in the hint; to clear the castle, Ellie must also be brought along.

Many players previously, after encountering the Vampire Butler, instinctively developed a repulsion towards the NPCs in the castle.

Even Chen Ze and Old Hei, if it weren't for Dai Xiaomei and Song Yang, would not have chosen to approach or even accept Ellie.

Ellie was a little confused now.

In her opinion, weren't Chen Ze and Old Hei teammates with Dai Xiaomei and the others?

Why would Dai Xiaomei stop her from giving a warning?

"Ellie, these two have rather special personalities; they enjoy exciting things."

"Let's just go in and hide."

To avoid damaging her image in Ellie's mind, Dai Xiaomei decisively labeled Chen Ze and the other as players with special hobbies.

Song Yang immediately agreed.

Such a great show effect couldn't be ruined by this little girl.

Hearing Dai Xiaomei's words, Ellie seemed to understand but didn't speak again.

However, their conversation was heard by all the viewers in the livestream room.

For a moment, many viewers were amused.

Many people specifically ran to Chen Ze's livestream room to tip him off, but because the number of people in Chen Ze's livestream room was too large, and the two of them were now treading on thin ice, they didn't really pay close attention to the bullet comments.

For a moment, the two of them didn't notice that Song Yang and the others behind them had stopped.

"Old Hei, if anything happens later, remember to first observe the reactions of those guys."

"They came in yesterday, so they must know some things."

"We can't be the ones to test the waters for others."

Chen Ze cautiously walked towards the staircase at the end of the corridor, speaking to Old Hei beside him without turning his head.

"Also, don't just run off by yourself; if something happens, we go together!"

"Alright, alright, it's not like we'll actually die. Look at how scared you are."

After experiencing two resurrections, Old Hei's original tension and fear had dissipated considerably.

Occasionally glancing at the livestream room, upon finding that the number of viewers was nearly double the usual, what he felt more was excitement.

Choosing to challenge the Tianfeng Haunted House this time was simply a brilliant decision.

If it were normal times, where would he get so much traffic?

Racking his brains for scripts wouldn't be as good as challenging this place once.

Audiences nowadays really love to watch exciting things.

No wonder Song Yang was able to gain so many followers.

Thinking of this, Old Hei subconsciously turned his head to look at Song Yang.

The next moment, he froze in place.

"No, where are they?"

Behind him, the empty corridor had no one.

He had clearly seen Li Zhou and the others go downstairs together, so why couldn't he see anyone now?

Almost instantly, the fence he had just seen flashed through Old Hei's mind.

"Not good!"

As expected of a Streamer, Old Hei immediately guessed a possibility.

Without time to think, he was about to run back but remembered Chen Ze was still there.

At this moment, Chen Ze was still nervously and curiously looking around.

To be honest, he had never experienced such a truly terrifying escape room.

Although he was a little scared, his curiosity was also genuine.

"Chen Ze, run!"

Old Hei looked at Chen Ze, who was still walking forward, forgetting the 'silence is golden' hint on the parchment.

Without hesitation, he directly shouted anxiously.

Hearing Old Hei's shout from behind, Chen Ze, who was leisurely advancing down the corridor, was startled.

Before he could react, the next second, several crimson lights lit up at the end of the corridor.

Click, click!

The hair-raising sound of gears turning rang out.

The iron fence at the end of the corridor was slowly opening!

Instantly, a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his brain.

Without thinking, Chen Ze turned his head, ready to see the reactions of Song Yang and the others.

That's right, at this moment, he was still thinking of learning from them.

As a result, the moment he turned around, Chen Ze froze again, his brain crashing.

On the vast corridor, apart from Old Hei who was not far away, Li Zhou and the others had all disappeared.

"Holy crap!"

A perfectly articulated national essence slipped out, and Chen Ze instantly shivered.

"Song Yang, you are a real beast!"

At this moment, Chen Ze also completely snapped back to reality.

What nonsense about needing to talk to livestream room fans; he clearly just wanted to trick him!

The feeling of a thorn in his back surged to his heart; at this moment, Chen Ze didn't dare to look back.

Without hesitation, he took off, chasing after Old Hei, who had long since run away.

"Damn you, didn't I tell you not to just run off by yourself?"

"I'll deduct your salary when we get back!"

He was practically using all his might.

Chen Ze ran, cursing Old Hei for his disloyalty.

"Didn't I call out to you?"

Old Hei shouted, holding his phone, without looking back.

In this situation, he wouldn't talk about brotherhood with Chen Ze.

After all, it wasn't like they would actually die.

If he ran slowly, he wasn't sure if Chen Ze would give him a raise, but if he didn't run, he was very sure that he would once again experience an unforgettable ordeal.

Heavy, ragged breathing clearly sounded from behind him.

But it wasn't Chen Ze's.

Several decaying, three-headed Demonic Hounds suddenly rushed out from the fence at the end of the corridor.

Their eyes were hollow and eerie, their mouths full of fangs, and strands of drool dripped from the corners of their mouths.

Heavy, chaotic panting sounds came from their mouths, and their hollow eye sockets stared fixedly at Chen Ze and Old Hei.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Chen Ze couldn't hold back and subconsciously turned his head for a look.

But before he could clearly see what was behind him, his entire head was bitten by a large mouth.

Crack!

The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed in the corridor, making Old Hei in front shiver uncontrollably.

Without hesitation, he ran towards the staircase without looking back.

But before he could reach it, a head suddenly appeared from a room not far ahead.

It was Li Zhou.

"Boss! Save me!"

Seeing Li Zhou again, Old Hei was overjoyed.

Just as the cry for help came out, Old Hei suddenly saw a meaningful smile on Li Zhou's face.

Then he saw one phone, then two, three!

Three whole phones extended from the room, uniformly filming Old Hei and what was behind him.

"Damn you!"

Seeing this, Old Hei immediately snapped back to reality.

It turned out all these guys were in that room!

His indignant roar had just left his mouth when the panting sound in his ears rapidly approached.

Then, Old Hei felt his vision go black.

A sharp pain in his neck, followed by the sound of bones being crushed.

Third time's the charm; opening his eyes once more, it was the familiar attic again!
