757: Chapter 758 Scare_1 757: Chapter 758 Scare_1 Effortlessly grabbing the fork from Qi Chen’s hand, Feng Yuan played with it as he watched ‘Qi Chen’ dissolve into foam and disappear before his eyes.
He touched the tip of the fork with his hand.
Although it looked sharp, the fork was actually quite soft—when Feng Yuan lightly pressed his finger on it, the tip deford.
“It seems they’ve taken safety into account.”
Casually tossing the fork aside, Feng Yuan curiously surveyed the empty restaurant.
At this mont, all his classmates had vanished without a trace, with Xiao Ji vigilantly standing by Feng Yuan’s side, observing their surroundings.
Inside the control room, the tailcoat-clad man who earlier had attended to Feng Yuan and others was rifling through sothing.
After a mont, he looked up in surprise towards the Foreyn mansion.
His expression changed, and he put down the docunts in his hands, told a colleague sothing, and rushed out.
Pushing aside the stack of files in front of the monitors, the colleague stared nervously at the screens showing Feng Yuan and his friends.
Seemingly recalling sothing, he reached to pick up the mobile phone set aside, but accidentally knocked over the stack of docunts.
Papers with words like “disappearance,” “concealnt,” “Otherworld,” and “error in space” scattered on the floor.
“So that’s how it is…”
Looking around thoughtfully, Feng Yuan noticed that the surrounding space seed to have poor signal, with the scene showing many stretches and deformations.
An eerie succession of calls kept ringing out.
Xiao Ji spread his wings and let out a clear cry, as if shattering a mirror, the shapes of his classmates suddenly erged around them.
“What the hell!”
“You scared to death!
I thought I was going to die!”
“That’s way too much!”
Amidst the swearings, Feng Yuan was unfazed.
Turning to walk towards Qi Chen, Feng Yuan asked,
“How did it go?
What did you encounter?”
Breathing heavily, Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and replied irritably,
“I saw you killing innocents.”
“Tsk!
Are you that jealous of ?”
“What do you think?”
“What was that just now?”
After composing himself, Qi Chen stood up and inquired of Feng Yuan.
The sudden change had indeed startled him; he hadn’t expected there to be any actual danger.
“So trick like ‘Illusion Space,’ I suppose.
I’m not very clear about Ghost Series tricks, but it was just to scare people, anyway.”
Picking up the fork he had dropped on the ground, Feng Yuan kept pressing on the fork and said, seeing the deford fork in Feng Yuan’s hand, Qi Chen asked with confusion,
“What is that?”
“It’s the weapon you tried to stab with.”
Feng Yuan said with a mischievous grin, to which Qi Chen retorted,
“What are you talking about?
I never did that.”
“Everyone saw sothing different.
Anyway, what I saw was this.
So, I said it’s no big deal; they’ve already taken safety into account.”
Handing over the fork to Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly.
anwhile, Chen Xin and the others were explaining to everyone else.
After all, Feng Yuan wasn’t the only one who had noticed sothing amiss—those who had dared to take action had more or less sensed the truth.
“Even though I knew it wasn’t dangerous, it still felt quite scary…”
Qi Chen indifferently placed the fork on a nearby table, to which Feng Yuan glanced at him and said,
“It’s supposed to be a haunted house ant to scare people.
If it doesn’t scare you, what’s the point?
What, did you expect a Beast Tar competition instead?”
“That’s true…”
Smiling brightly, Qi Chen laughed.
The scare had jolted him, and his brain hadn’t quite processed it at the mont, but now that he was calm, he naturally noticed the extraordinary features of this haunted house.
“So they can isolate people even in a group activity?
I thought they would use other ans.”
“Using scary tricks to frighten people is the most rudintary thod.
If this haunted house resorted to such trashy tactics, I wouldn’t mind tearing it down today.”
Feng Yuan said with disdain.
Ghost Series Spirit Beasts had many tricks that could directly affect humans, inducing fear, but such thods lacked any refinent; it was entirely about scaring people with the power of the trick, a tactic despised by haunted house operators.
At that mont, a barely audible and eerie singing voice reached them.
The crowd, which had just settled down, suddenly beca alert once again.
“Let’s leave this place.”
In that mournful singing, Chen Xin couldn’t help but speak out.
After saying that, she realized what she said and added,
“Of course, staying here to see what else will happen wouldn’t be…”
“Go!”
At that mont, the surrounding walls began to shake and started to close in towards the middle.
Everyone hurriedly ran out of the dining room.
Before they could catch their breath, the wooden floor suddenly made a sharp crackling sound.
The floor inexplicably broke apart, falling into the endless darkness below.
As more and more planks broke, the entire corridor started to be consud by darkness.
Darkness slowly spread from the hollow beneath the floor, creeping outward.
Xiao Ji, anxious, urged Feng Yuan, who was looking back.
Everyone quickly rushed towards the lobby they ca from.
As they ran, the wooden floor abruptly broke apart, revealing gaping maws made up of splintered planks.
“Huff huff, quite interesting~”
Feng Yuan, finally reaching the lobby and catching his breath, said with a laugh.
The corridor they had just entered was now overtaken by darkness.
Soone attempted to use a lighting skill to illuminate the path, only to find it completely useless.
The darkness had fully claid the corridor, no amount of light able to penetrate the boundary at the door and bring even a sliver of light to that darkened path.
“Interesting.”
Dou Yanlan said with a smile.
She could naturally tell that no skills were truly affecting them, but even so, the ordeal had provoked panic in them—these warriors and Beastmasters.
“How co the door is gone!”
Then soone noticed sothing amiss and pointed at the entrance they ca through, shouting.
Chen Xin looked at the guy and said,
“It’s probably to increase the atmosphere and prevent people from running around.
The staff should be in place by now.”
“Then how do we get out?”
“Just walk through the main mansion once, and it should be fine.
After all, this is just an amusent project.
Besides, the house can’t stop us from breaking out through the walls, can it?”
Chen Xin said sowhat speechlessly.
The person asking must have been too nervous, completely forgetting that this was just an amusent attraction, with everything manipulated by the staff.
And she was right, they really could just break a hole and get out if they were truly locked in—most of them here were hoping to enter the academy to beco Beast Tars, how could ordinary walls stop them?
“You and her seem to have a lot in common.”
Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with a strange expression.
That guy had said the sa thing in the ruins: if there’s no path, make one.
Touching Agunas’s forehead, Feng Yuan said irritably,
“Little Crocodile, you’re slandering !”
“Speaking of which, you don’t seem scared at all.”
“Of course not~ With Pomiti and Xiao Ji with , why would I be afraid~”
With Pomiti held up like a pillow in his arms, Feng Yuan said proudly as Xiao Ji kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings, with pale blue flas materializing around it.
“That… you know, doing that might make it hard for the staff…”
Feng Yuan, sowhat exasperated, said to the overly reactive Xiao Ji.
Typically, those responsible for ghost houses are either humans or Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, and Xiao Ji’s Death Series flas happen to be a perfect counter to the Ghost Series, making it difficult for them to do anything against those flas.
Xiao Ji, feeling a bit embarrassed, retracted those flas.
It had also just accidentally taken those wandering Ghost Series Spirit Beasts for enemies.
“That corridor is okay, right?
Shouldn’t we do sothing about it?”
Qi Chen looked at the pitch-black corridor with a sense of unease, shrugging.
Feng Yuan said with resignation,
“Do sothing about it, like tearing it down?”
“That’s not what I ant!”
“Just leave it.
It probably signifies that we’ve already explored that area.
Don’t gas do that all the ti?
After finishing a plot point, the corresponding map is just closed off.”
Feng Yuan said nonchalantly, aware that the darkness was a Spirit Beast’s skill.
But he had no intention of erasing it, lest it disrupted the subsequent performance plan, sothing he was quite interested in.
“This should be the guest room area, right?”
After the scare in the kitchen, everyone had beco sowhat cautious.
Although they were all very aware that there shouldn’t be any danger, the atmosphere still made them feel uneasy, no matter how much they reassured themselves.
“This light looks a bit off, doesn’t it?”
Feng Yuan noticed the purple sky outside the window and felt puzzled.
Then, a round and bouncy ghost-like shadow suddenly appeared at the window before vanishing.
The scenery outside instantly changed, with the already withered plants wilting away in monts.
