91: It seems normal for a haunted house to have a female ghost, right?
“A female ghost?”
“What female ghost?”
Hearing Chen Ze’s words, Old Hei was stunned.
Was this female ghost the kind he was thinking of?
It seemed pretty normal for a Haunted House to have a female ghost, right?
But was it enough to be scared into such a state?
Thinking of this, Old Hei’s heart was suddenly filled with curiosity.
Looking at Chen Ze, who was still standing there, seemingly not having recovered yet, he turned around and chased in the direction Li Zhou had gone.
On the other side, Li Zhou carried the medical kit directly towards the Thousand Mirror Maze.
Just now, upon hearing Chen Ze mention a female ghost, his first thought was of the third employee he had recruited, the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit.
At this moment, Li Zhou’s heart was filled with questions.
Wasn’t the Haunted House closed today? Where did these players come from?
As he thought, he quickly ran towards the area where the Red Spirit was.
The reason for his urgency was entirely because Chen Ze had also said something about seemingly scaring someone to death.
Li Zhou had no doubt about the Red Spirit’s terror.
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
That zombie guy even had difficulty speaking, so those players were probably let in by the Red Spirit herself from outside.
And because Fang Xiaolu and he had entered the castle together, there was no one to greet or specifically brief those players, so it was possible that someone with heart problems had also snuck in.
In such a situation, it was indeed possible for someone to be scared to death!
As soon as he thought of this, a rare trace of nervousness flashed across Li Zhou’s face.
The Haunted House had just started to improve; he couldn’t be backstabbed by his own employee at this time, could he?
As he thought, Li Zhou quickly arrived at the entrance of the Thousand Mirror Maze.
But as soon as he arrived, he saw a striking figure.
The Red Spirit, dressed in a red dress, was saying something to the zombie, and behind the two of them, a group of players lay scattered on the ground, clearly sleeping soundly, just like Dai Xiaomei in the castle earlier.
Hearing footsteps behind her, the Red Spirit turned her head, while the zombie trembled and lowered his head.
It’s over!
At this moment, a thought subconsciously rose in the zombie’s mind.
After the Red Spirit led this group of people into the Thousand Mirror Maze, he had specifically come from the Hundred Ghosts Cemetery to the main panel at the maze exit, waiting for them.
Who would have thought that he wouldn’t even wait for a single player?
Almost twenty to thirty players were defeated in the maze.
They didn’t even reach the exit, let alone the middle area, and were then scared unconscious by the Red Spirit, who had revealed her true form.
The Thousand Mirror Maze was simply too perfect for the Red Spirit.
The maze was composed of mirrors, reflecting and refracting each other, inherently creating an unsettling atmosphere and making it extremely easy to get lost.
In order to find the exit, all the players held their breath and focused on the path beneath their feet.
The result was that because they were too focused, they overlooked the mirrors around them.
After the Red Spirit revealed her true form, everyone felt a fear and unease that came from their souls.
Anyone who looked up and saw the Red Spirit’s true form in the mirrors didn’t last three seconds; almost all of them immediately passed out.
“Boss, you’re here?”
Compared to the zombie’s unease, the Red Spirit appeared much more natural.
After retracting her true form, she lost her previous eeriness and coldness, instead looking like a beauty who had traveled through time from ancient times.
“Did someone die?”
Li Zhou’s gaze passed over the two of them and looked directly into the maze.
Looking at the players lying unconscious on the ground, he twitched his mouth and asked, “How could that be?”
“Boss, didn’t you say before that we could scare guests however we wanted, but we absolutely couldn’t harm their lives?”
“These people are just unconscious.”
The Red Spirit covered her mouth and chuckled, looking very harmless.
Hearing her words, Li Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as no one died, it was fine.
Everything else was a minor issue.
Without asking how these players got in, he put down the medical kit and gestured, “Bring them out first.”
As his voice fell, the zombie, who had been keeping his head down, immediately moved.
Like picking up chicks, he easily carried these players out of the maze one by one.
And arranged them neatly in front of Li Zhou.
Perhaps because the shock they had received earlier was too great, not a single one of these people woke up after being carried out by the zombie.
Li Zhou sighed, squatted down, and opened the medical kit again.
It seemed he would have to specifically assign a medical employee in the future.
Since he got the system, the number of players fainting in the Haunted House had been increasing.
This was just the result of today’s closure; if the Haunted House upgraded in the future, the number of people fainting every day would definitely rise.
He and Fang Xiaolu alone certainly wouldn’t be able to handle it.
The defibrillator landed accurately on the player’s chest, and soon, under the Red Spirit’s somewhat puzzled gaze, a series of vibrating sounds rang out outside the maze.
On the other side, Old Hei, who had followed out of curiosity, just happened to see the zombie carrying a player in each hand out of the maze.
He froze in place, his previously relaxed heart tightening again.
A female ghost?
Isn’t this a zombie?
What was going on now?
Before Old Hei could think further, Li Zhou had already successfully revived a player.
The player was still a bit bewildered the moment he opened his eyes.
Li Zhou looked at him, trying to soften his tone, “Feeling better?”
The player blinked his confused eyes at his voice and subconsciously asked, “Where am I?”
Suddenly, as if remembering something, his face quickly turned pale.
He turned his head and began to look around, and after seeing his surroundings clearly, he immediately froze again.
Memories from before he fainted gradually surfaced in his mind.
Terrifying faces appeared in the mirrors, as if about to crawl out.
Those hollow, dark features carried endless evil and ominousness; just one glance made his heart instantly stop!
Was he… scared unconscious?
Li Zhou looked at the player, who had fallen silent again, knowing that he needed some time to calm down.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be fine, he turned to pick up the defibrillator and pressed it against another person’s chest.
Soon, one identical phrase after another began to ring out outside the maze.
The first words of the awakened players were almost always, “Where am I?” or “What happened to me?”
Then they would remember what happened before they fainted, and finally fall silent.
From initial disappointment and disdain for the Haunted House’s scenes to the current silence, it only took a slight effort from the Red Spirit.
She didn’t even deliberately try to scare these players; she merely revealed her true form, and that was enough to make them faint.
The Thousand Mirror Maze itself could interfere with one’s sanity, and coupled with her sudden appearance, very few people could remain conscious the moment they saw her true form.
Most Haunted Houses like to use sudden appearances to scare players because this method is indeed effective.
When a person is concentrating, the probability of being scared is often higher.
It was also fortunate that every one of these players had good psychological resilience, and they were merely scared unconscious by immense panic.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably develop some illness even if they weren’t sick already.
