78: We are a team, a family!

Chen Ze and Old Hei were like Popeye after suddenly eating spinach, their eyes much clearer.

Looking at the tightly shut room door, the two seemed to have made a decision.

They exchanged a glance, then nodded vigorously in perfect sync!

Subsequently, they both stepped forward in unison, striding towards the door.

Of course, while their momentum was sufficient, their bodies hadn't quite adjusted yet.

So, in the eyes of others, their walking posture was incredibly strange.

It was as if they had just drunk two catties of baijiu, their limbs completely out of sync.

【No? Is the Streamer that brave? He still dares to go out?!】

【Wuwuwu, I'm tearing up, is this the camaraderie between men?】

【Ze, Song the Bold is an animal, it's not worth you dying for him!】

【It's cool, but Old Hei, why are you tightening your belt?】

【Streamer, if you're being threatened, just blink!】

...

The actions of the two not only startled Dai Xiaomei in the room but also astonished the audience in the livestream room.

Especially Chen Ze's fans; while terrified, they were more surprised than anyone.

You know, Chen Ze was the kind of guy who would scream "holy cow" when playing a horror game. When did he get so brave?

Li Zhou also noticed their actions at this time, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Facing the full-force Goethe, they actually dared to think about going out proactively. It seems these two guys aren't cowards after all.

Commendable courage!

"Boss... are we really just waiting to die?"

"I don't want to die, wuwuwu, can you bear to see me killed by that terrifying guy?"

Fang Xiaolu no longer had her initial curiosity and excitement.

She never expected her boss to play such a high-stakes game!

If they were outside in the Haunted House, she could have relied on her familiarity with the Haunted House to contend with Goethe for a bit, or at worst, just run out of the Haunted House.

But now she was in the castle.

She hadn't entered with Song Yang and the others yesterday, so she knew nothing about the castle's layout.

Trapped in the room now, she felt powerless even if she wanted to escape.

Looking at Li Zhou, who was holding his phone and watching the show, Fang Xiaolu finally couldn't hold back, putting on a pitiful expression and starting to beg.

Every death in the castle seemed incredibly terrifying.

She didn't want to try any of them.

But if she really had to die, she'd rather have her neck twisted by the Vampire Butler from before, or even be gnawed by rats, than be killed by Goethe!

Because Goethe's aura was too real and terrifying.

If she were killed by other things, she could at least comfort herself that it was all fake.

But if she were killed by Goethe, she worried that she would have nightmares every night for the next month... no, probably a year!

Fang Xiaolu's plea also brought Dai Xiaomei, who was not far away, back to her senses.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately stood up, trembling, and walked towards Li Zhou.

She didn't believe that Chen Ze and Old Hei going out would really save Song Yang.

It would probably just mean they died a little faster.

Right now, only Li Zhou could save her.

"Boss, I... I don't want Xiao Lu and Ellie to die either!"

"Look, Ellie and Xiao Lu are so cute, can you bear to see them tortured to death?"

After reaching Li Zhou's side, Dai Xiaomei originally wanted to say she didn't want to die.

But she quickly realized that saying so would contradict her earlier stance.

So she quickly changed her words, turning her desire not to die into not wanting to see Ellie and Fang Xiaolu die.

On the other side, Chen Ze and Old Hei, who were almost at the door, naturally heard Fang Xiaolu and Dai Xiaomei's words.

But it was impossible for them to turn back now.

Just now, they had declared in front of over 500,000 people in the livestream room that they were going to save Song Yang. If they backed out in less than a minute, the comments that were originally full of admiration would instantly turn into mockery and disdain.

If they didn't dare to save him, they could have just admitted it, and no one would laugh.

After all, everyone could see how terrifying Goethe was.

But since they had already said they would save Song Yang, they couldn't go back on their word.

Having been Streamers for so long, Chen Ze and Old Hei naturally knew this.

If they turned back now, they could imagine how those marketing accounts would disparage them.

At this point, they could only grit their teeth and move forward.

At this moment, facing Dai Xiaomei and Fang Xiaolu's requests, Li Zhou's face suddenly showed a serious expression.

"Did you two forget the reminder on the parchment?"

"We are a team, we are family!"

"Now our teammate is still outside, his life hanging in the balance, how can we only think about running away?"

"Look how well Chen Ze and Old Hei are doing, never abandoning, never giving up—that's what a family should be like!"

After speaking righteously, Li Zhou ignored the two who were stunned in place, and walked towards Chen Ze and Old Hei, holding a flashlight in one hand and his phone in the other.

Chen Ze was a cash cow now, after all, each death meant a carnival!

Looking at his retreating back, Fang Xiaolu and Dai Xiaomei exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Especially Fang Xiaolu, her small mind was almost filled with questions.

When did her boss start caring about the players' lives?!

As the two stood frozen, Ellie looked at the departing Li Zhou, a faint, almost imperceptible hint of helplessness flashing across her face.

Shaking her head, she continued to stand obediently beside Dai Xiaomei, like a silent little follower.

On the other side, Chen Ze and Old Hei didn't know that Li Zhou had followed them.

Because, at this moment, the two had already reached the door.

Looking at the tightly shut room door, their legs involuntarily started to tremble again.

Old Hei took a step back, holding his phone towards Chen Ze and said, "Ze, I'm holding the phone to film, so it's inconvenient to open the door. You open it!"

"Don't worry, if there's any problem, I'll be the first to rush in and save you!"

Do you even believe that yourself?!

Hearing Old Hei's words, Chen Ze's mouth twitched unconsciously.

But at this point, it didn't matter who opened the door.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the doorknob in front of him, and the 500,000 online viewers flashed through his mind!

Damn it, I'll risk it!

As if it were burning hot, Chen Ze twisted the doorknob, then quickly let go.

After shouting, "Yang, hold on, I'm coming to save you!" he directly kicked the door open again.

The familiar corridor came into view; the darkness had receded at some point.

The wall lamps in the corridor lit up again, illuminating the surroundings.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ze and Old Hei, who was ready to bolt at any moment, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, the two froze again.

Outside the room, a trail of blood stretched along the corridor, leading to an unknown destination.

Goethe and Song Yang had both disappeared.

The entire corridor was utterly silent, as if nothing had ever happened.
