It was pitch black all around. Xu Wang held his breath and felt his back soaked with cold sweat.

"Come out! I'll take you away!" The gentle voice kept trying to seduce Xu Wang, but fortunately, after he jumped into the freezer, the female ghost could no longer get in.

Through the narrow gap in the freezer lid, Xu Wang saw that the female ghost had left. The butcher's footsteps, which were getting closer and closer, gradually faded away after Xu Wang hid because he couldn't find anyone.

Saved! Xu Wang breathed a sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his forehead, which had been held back for a long time, burst out at once, and even his legs went weak.

He subconsciously wanted to wipe it with his sleeve, but the strange touch under his hand made his heart, which had just been at ease, hang in the balance again.

What is this? Xu Wang felt something moving under his palm. It was soft, like some fine silk. Or in other words, a woman's skin.

Can't look! This was the president's first reaction. However, the more scared he was, the harder it was to control. At the moment when he couldn't control himself and lowered his head, rows of eyes with strange lights were accurately aimed at him. Then, a biting coldness almost instantly wrapped around him.

This is not a freezer, it is clearly a large coffin! As for what is placed under the coffin, it is the frozen human heads. And now, these human heads are staring at him with their eyes wide open, with only pupils, and their mouths cracked with ill intentions.

"Do you want to be captured by the ghost girl, or be eaten by the butcher, or stay with us forever?"

...

The eerie ghostly aura was all nakedly malicious. And those bloodshot teeth bit his body accurately. The intense pain made Xu Wang collapse completely. This time, he didn't even scream, and fainted directly in the coffin.

"Who's in trouble?" Julian Yu outside sensed it almost immediately when Xu Wang fainted, and hurriedly said to the boss guarding the door, "Go in and pick them up! The first person who fainted is now in the coffin."

"Who is it? Are you crazy? How dare you go to the coffin?" the boss asked curiously.

"Of course," Julian Yu raised his lips and revealed a weird smile, "He's the president of the Anti-Supernatural Society!"

"What? That's impossible!" Before the boss could reply, the Anti-Supernatural Society members who were waiting outside the haunted house for the next group to enter immediately refuted. In their minds, Xu Wang was a typical atheist, and any unreasonable ghost legends could be easily solved by him. How could such a person be scared by a deceptive haunted house? It must be Julian Yu who set it up to get Xu Wang injured.

"Damn it, you liar! Did you threaten or use force to coerce our president?" Someone with a bad temper rushed to the counter and questioned Julian Yu.

"Why don't you just go in and take a look and find out?" Julian Yu was too lazy to pay attention to them. He picked up the bell that had run out of the haunted house at some point and pinched its chubby cheek.

"You scared him like this, I'll take care of him after he comes out."

"Hehehe, Jiuyin Jiuyin Bell is so powerful, I scared him to tears!" Looking up, Bell communicated silently with Julian Yu with his mind. His pair of glass eyes were smart, and his arms were patting his little chest, as if he was not an ordinary puppet, but a thumb doll that would appear in fairy tales.

"Ah! So cute!" The alumni invited by the three college students were queuing up to buy tickets at the entrance of the haunted house. Passersby were curious and wanted to follow and have a look. One of them happened to be a girl. When she saw Julian Yu playing with the bell, she couldn't help but exclaimed. She even came to the counter to take a closer look.

But Lingling was a little timid, and her first reaction when she saw someone coming was to open her mouth and sneer at them. Her big bloody mouth and sharp teeth made her look very fierce and scary.

The girl froze instantly. The atmosphere became silent, but within three seconds, there was an even louder exclamation. The others at the counter couldn't help but laugh after seeing this scene.

"Wow! What a bad temper!"

"You're so angry! Are you angry?"

"So cute! I want it, I want to hug and K!ss it."

So what exactly is your misunderstanding of the definition of cuteness? I really don't understand the aesthetics of city people anymore. The boss sighed, opened the door to the safe passage, and followed Julian Yu's instructions to go in and rescue people.

"You've been underestimated~" Julian Yu rubbed Lingling's head lovingly. Lingling, on the other hand, hid in Julian Yu's arms with embarrassment.

"I'll scare them to tears! I'm a fierce ghost qaq."

"Okay, okay, it's an evil ghost." Seeing the little girl burying her head in her hands in depression, the smile on Julian Yu's face became more lively.

At this time, Xu Wang, who had fainted in the coffin, was also carried out. When everyone looked at him, they saw that he was frightened to the point of spitting, and his mouth and clothes were wet, which was very disgusting.

As the temperature rose in the sun, Xu Wang gradually woke up. However, his dull eyes and trembling body showed that he was still in extreme fear.

So, is this haunted house so powerful?

Everyone couldn't help swallowing, and their original desire to go in was somewhat reduced.

"Send him to a nearby hospital!" Julian Yu didn't look up, his attitude was still cold, he ordered the boss to send him there, and then set a very tempting hook for those who wanted to quit, "If you can stay in there for ten minutes, half of the ticket money will be refunded. If you can walk out of the haunted house within ten minutes, the ticket price will be returned twenty times."

Twenty times? The haunted house ticket is fifty yuan a ticket, so twenty times is one thousand!

Many of the people who came this time were ordinary college students. One thousand yuan was enough for them to eat better-tasting stir-fried dishes in the small cafeteria every day for a month.

What's more, Xu Wang was obviously trying to be brave and not to press the distress bell, which frightened him into fainting. Even if it really didn't work, they could just press the bell in advance and ask to come out. Fifty yuan is not expensive, what if they can make it through?

"I go!"

"I am coming too!"

Everyone has a lucky mentality, and the originally dull atmosphere suddenly became lively again. Julian Yu's phone vibrated, and he looked down and saw that it actually showed "Progress of saving the haunted house mission: 0.5% of the first stage."

What does 0.5% mean? Julian Yu pondered for a while, and then roughly understood the evaluation criteria for this task. It roughly means the flow of visitors. According to the calculation of 0.5% for six people, he only needs to receive 1,200 people to complete the first stage of the task.

If you calculate it this way, it doesn’t seem that difficult.

Julian Yu was thinking about it in his mind. However, Xu Wang, who was sent to the hospital, woke up on the way. But unlike what everyone imagined, he didn't cry or make a fuss after waking up. Instead, he was strangely silent, as if he was thinking about something very serious.

This guy must be scared silly!

The boss and another member of the Anti-Supernatural Club looked at each other and both thought that the president was too weird.

But after a while, he seemed to suddenly wake up and asked the college student a question, and the whole car was suddenly filled with an indescribable chill.

"The doll in your store manager's hand is alive, right?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about! How can a puppet be alive?" The boss was shocked and couldn't help swallowing. "You said it was a trap, and you cracked it, didn't you? What nonsense are you talking about now!"

"That's right, President. Are you hallucinating?" The member also laughed, but his laughter was uglier than crying.

Damn, this is so creepy! They are going to the hospital this time. After Xu Wang woke up, he kept saying these scary things. The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Fortunately, Xu Wang stopped talking afterwards. After the hospital examination, the doctor said that he was just too frightened and just needed to rest well. He simply prescribed some tranquilizers and sent him back home.

However, before they parted, Xu Wang suddenly shouted to the boss, "I will come to visit again."

"Whatever! But if you can't do it next time, just come out." Not realizing the profound meaning in Xu Wang's words, the boss thought he was just unwilling to admit defeat, so he simply waved his hand and left.

But the member felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but ask, "The haunted house looks weird, don't go there anymore."

Xu Wang shook his head, "Dabin, tell me, how did my sister die?"

"I...how would I know..." Thinking of the rumor, the member was really scared.

"I'm just kidding." Xu Wang just smiled stiffly and didn't say anything during the rest of the journey. But in his mind, there was an idea that kept reminding him that maybe he could ask that young man for help with the case back then.

Even if it was really the work of ghosts and gods, three years had passed, and he still wanted an explanation. His sister couldn't die in vain!

At this moment, Julian Yu in the haunted house suddenly kicked the college student who had just returned in annoyance.

"It hurts, it hurts!" The college student was drinking water when he was startled by Julian Yu's kick.

"You brought a lot of trouble!" Julian Yu frowned, as if he was calculating something, and then he couldn't help but kick the boss again. Next time, don't bring such troublesome people to the haunted house! A fifty-yuan ticket is not enough for me to go through all this trouble!

After saying that, he turned around and went into the house.

The eldest brother, who was left outside hugging his legs and jumping on one foot, cried and didn't know what to say. He just felt very wronged and didn't understand why Julian Yu was unhappy.

Alas, there is no way to avoid trouble. Returning to the inner room, Julian Yu gradually calmed down his irritable expression, casually took out two copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Kun hexagram (Ze Shui Kun).

Trapped. Prosperous, steadfast, great man is lucky, no fault. Words are not believed. Xiang says: Marsh without water, trapped. Gentleman uses his life to achieve his goal.

There is no water on the lake, which means you are trapped and poor; all things cannot grow, so cultivate virtue and keep quiet. This hexagram is very bad. Those who get this hexagram will be in trouble and everything will go wrong. You should stick to the right path and wait for the opportunity.

Isn't this waiting for the right time just waiting for yourself? Julian Yu made this divination for Xu Wang. With such a result, he had no choice but to put away the copper coins.

The cause and effect have been established, so the only thing left is to wait for Xu Wangqiu to come. But what kind of thing is it to be trapped and everything goes wrong? Julian Yu was rarely a little curious.

Just like that, Julian Yu waited until 8:30 pm when the haunted house closed, and finally saw Xu Wang, who came to visit him with a lot of things. However, what he brought was not good stuff, but a blood-stained love letter and a very weird dormitory map of the old college.

Julian Yu only took a glance and his expression suddenly became serious. He originally thought that Xu Wang had just encountered some minor troubles, but now it seemed that it was a deadly situation that could cost his life!
