Laugh to death, there are no ordinary people at all

As a haunted house employee in an amusement park, the morning is their most leisure time.After all, under normal circumstances, no one would go straight to the haunted house after going to the amusement park.

"Miura asked for leave again today."

"Yeah, so I'm going to the treasure chest, and the entrance is up to you—anyway, no one will come early in the morning, so it's okay to relax and sleep for a while."

Therefore, the employees who were lazily hiding in the dark room next to the entrance felt a little unhappy when they saw the two girls, one big and one small.

After all, without them, he would be able to take a nap now.With this in mind, he was ready to frighten this pair of strange tourists who came to the haunted house early in the morning.

He didn't crawl out from the suddenly opened door as usual, but used another exit of the dark room to run out from the place near the two, approached them quietly, and crawled towards them like zombies.

Especially that little girl.

It should be terrified enough, and then cry and make a fuss.

Thinking of that scene, his anger that was interrupted by someone interrupting his nap calmed down a lot.

Just go one step further.

He looked at the little girl in front of him, and even thought about how to scare her.

However, when his hand touched the little girl's shoe, he didn't hear the expected scream.Maybe he hasn't reacted yet.

Thinking of this, he raised his head again, and showed her the part of his bloody face that was prepared in advance.

Well, this should make me cry in fright.

The male employee thought confidently, but when he looked at the little girl's face, he only saw a blank outline.

Under the black hair, where there should be a cute face, there is only a piece of white.Such a white face was approaching straight in his direction.

Going to be touched!Are you going to be swallowed! ?God!

As the blank face approached, the man's fear reached its peak.

at last.

"Ahhh-"

He couldn't help but screamed.

Then I heard a distant and terrifying female voice:

"Lixiang! Don't step on the staff!"

God, I'm going to be...

Ok?

The man came back to his senses with a dazed expression, and then he noticed half a small shoe print on the back of his hand. When he looked up, the pretty little girl whom he had taken as a scare target was blinking at him.

Noticing his gaze, he apologized obediently to himself.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have stepped on you just because I was scared."

The male employee blinked, blinked again, and then got up stiffly.

"Ah...that, it's okay, it's because I'm too close."

He stared at the child, the little girl's beautiful eyes were very agile.The mouth and nose are also normal... It is completely unimaginable that there was a blank space here before.

He scratched his head embarrassingly.

Sure enough, it was because I was too sleepy, right?

Well, it must be so, I can't stay up all night in the future.

I saw that the staff was not angry, Li Xiang also apologized obediently, and finally relaxed.

It's true that the staff of the haunted house ran too close, but it's not right for Lixiang to step on it so hard.It takes a lot of effort to call a big old man trampled like this.

"Lixiang, the ghosts in the haunted house are all pretended by the staff, you can't hurt them, you know?" I took this opportunity to explain to her.

Only then did I meet the first employee, and how many of them will be blown up later? If you beat someone if you are scared, I think we may lose everything today.

Li Xiang tilted her head, and obediently grabbed my sleeve to apologize.

"I know, I won't hit people casually in the future."

"That's good." I patted Lixiang's head.

But quickly added another sentence.

"However, if someone touches you not to scare you, for example, instead of grabbing but touching your legs or body, don't hesitate to beat him."

I thought about it, and felt that Lixiang should not be too obedient and not resist at all.

"If it's really a misunderstanding, I'll apologize properly, so don't worry."

"Sister too." Lixiang said suddenly. "If there are any strange things approaching you, be sure to beat them all away."

Thinking of those guys around her sister, Lixiang's eyes turned cold.

"No matter who it is, I will protect my sister."

Even though it's in a haunted house, but——

"Why is my sister so cute!" I couldn't help but hug Lixiang. "Sister, I'm really touched!"

Is there anything more touching than a cute little sister saying to protect herself?

No!It doesn't exist, I want to kill it too!

I couldn't help but rub against Li Xiang's chubby cheek.

"I mean it!" The way Lixiang was struggling in my arms was so cute.

"I understand, but at this stage, let my sister protect Lixiang well."

I let go of Lixiang and watched her rubbing her red cheeks unwillingly and reaching out to her.

"Let's go?"

"Ah."

In a heartwarming scene of sisterhood, we say goodbye to the first employee and move on.

The more I went in, the more pleasantly surprised I was.

As expected of a popular theme park in recent years, the ghost ship is very pleasantly surprised, not only the scenery is well done, but also all kinds of props are also very finely crafted.

I even saw a dimly lit candle 'snap' to light up.

There are also those scattered boxes and ropes, which are all real.I also opened one of the boxes, and was almost stupefied by the damp and rotten smell.

——I never thought that a haunted house could make me feel like a dungeon explorer.

"It's much more delicate than I imagined." I sighed while pulling Lixiang along.

Lixiang was also very interested, and kept turning her little head to look around.Occasionally, he would come up with me to touch those props.

Originally thought that the haunted house in the ocean theme park would be a weak project.

Although Japan is famous for its demons and ghosts, there have always been many thrilling entertainment projects.

But with the rise of the Internet age, haunted houses have gradually lost their market as a traditional project.

Although it has always existed, it is becoming less and less, and most of them are regarded as additional fringe projects, which are not valued in themselves, and the budget is naturally not high.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a haunted house with excellence and pursuit.

Although it's a bit concerning that I didn't meet any staff other than the first one...

"But considering the budget, it's not surprising that we spent a lot of money on the set and didn't have the money to hire staff, right Satoka."

"Lixiang?"

I lowered my head and wanted to talk to Li Xiang, but found that my sister who was supposed to be holding on to my sleeve was gone.

"Rika!?"

I quickly ran in the direction I came from, calling Li Xiang's name while running.But in the dark pirate ship, there is nothing but my echo.

"Rika? Where have you been?"

"Lixiang?"

I even opened the surrounding hatches one by one.But even so, I didn't see any sign of Li Xiang.

In desperation, I could only raise my arms, trying to find help from the staff.

It should be able to see it through monitoring.

I walked in the direction I came and went with my hands raised.

From the cabin on the second floor to the first floor.

Finally, I saw a shaking figure in front of me.

"Sorry to interrupt!"

I hurried forward, whether it was the staff or the tourists who came in behind.I need someone to help me find Lixiang!

But before I ran over, I heard the person who noticed me in front shout anxiously in my direction:

"Don't come here! Be careful—"

Lixiang realized it almost the moment she separated from her sister.

But it was too late for her to notice, and by the time she became vigilant, her sister had already disappeared.

He obviously didn't move, and he was still holding his sister's hand last second, but he couldn't feel his presence at all.There is only the familiar coldness and darkness around.

The petite girl lost her gentle and lovely expression before, and turned cold.

When she's not smiling, she's like an exquisitely beautiful doll—the kind you'd see in a ghost movie, at that.

The rustling sound suddenly sounded.

It seemed to be talking, or someone was chanting scriptures. The undulating voice seemed to be luring people to pass, coming from one direction.

Li Xiang was silent for a while, then walked towards the direction of the sound.

The farther forward, the louder the sound.

The surrounding light also unknowingly brightened.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lixiang finally came to the end point, which was the direction from which the voice came.

That's a white space.

The moment she walked in, the white space instantly turned into a quaint white altar.In the middle is the altar, surrounded by various decorations, tables and chairs.

Only then did she realize that there were many people around besides her.

Among these people, men, women, old and young are of different heights, making it difficult to distinguish the selection criteria.

The only thing in common is that no matter what their postures are at this time, they are all staring at the altar in front of them with dull expressions. Lixiang even tried to wave his hand in front of a person, but that person did not respond at all. He didn't even have the instinct to blink when reaching for his eyes.

It's like being hypnotized... or controlled by something.

Then a voice came from the altar.

Lixiang followed the voice and saw a person standing in front of the altar.

The man was wearing the clothes of an unknown religion, and there were many strange patterns on his body.

Lixiang didn't know those patterns, but instinctively thought of various magic circles or imprints.

Because he was against the light, Lixiang couldn't see his face clearly, but still vaguely felt that the man was looking at him with a compassionate expression.

—like seeing a poor wretch whose life is miserable.

Looking at the girl standing alone under the altar, the man said slowly:

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, Chosen Child."

The author has something to say: A big adventure (?) with a different style of painting is about to begin!

Let me go and see how Sakamoto is pretending (...)

Unknowingly, the update time is much later, woohoo, I have to find a way to overcome procrastination.

Tomorrow is Monday again, let's work together to overcome procrastination!

Jiumi, good night/~~~
