There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The tremendous rumble nearly drowned out all other sounds in the Haunted House, and immediately afterwards, the cool breeze lingering inside intensified, making the three of them feel as though they were caught in the cold of winter.

The female tourist glanced at the pathway, then let out a startled cry.

The male security guard who had just landed quickly turned around, only to see the metal pathway he had sprinted across in one second was now completely gone!

It was indeed completely gone; the five-meter corridor had nothing on it, no vibrating metal plates, only that pitch-black color like the Abyss itself!

The five-meter corridor seemed to have turned into a deep pit, where light from elsewhere could not penetrate the darkness, and human vision could not see anything that might be beneath it.

All that met the eye was pure darkness.

The chilly wind blew in from this dark hole, chilling all three onlookers to the bone.

Then, the male security guard and the female tourist looked at each other.

Heaven forbid, they had really just been speaking casually a moment ago.

The male security guard was now relieved he had decided to rush over quickly, as he had not lingered on the metal plate for an extra two seconds. It was almost the very instant he retracted his trailing foot that the corridor disappeared!

The thought was frightening!

Xu Shuo stared at the five meters of darkness for a while, then looked around and pulled off a syringe from the props of the horror tool beside him.

He threw the syringe towards the darkness, only to watch it disappear completely into the dark, without causing even a ripple.

And it made no sound whatsoever.

It was as though it hadn't fallen at all; it had just vanished without a trace, soundlessly.

"It seems we won't be able to go back the way we came, we can only walk this path to the end," said the male security guard with a troubled expression.

"We don't know what's coming next; let's all be more careful. The place where the victim died should not be far ahead, we need to be even more cautious," Xu Shuo told them.

The two nodded, still shaken.

As the three continued forward, Xu Shuo cast a meaningful glance towards the darkness as he turned.

—There was no scent of the Abyss.@@novelbin@@

Their positions remained the same as they moved on: Xu Shuo leading the way, the female tourist in the middle, and the male security guard bringing up the rear.

They had already rounded the first corner of the M-shaped hallway, and a short distance ahead lay the gathering place of the zombie models, where the deceased had met their end.

Due to the recent dark pit, the trio now proceeded with even greater caution.

The first section of horror props consisted of plastic demons, Green-Faced Fangs with red eyes, which looked terrifying but actually had a rather poor texture.

The second stretch of the road, up to the middle, was filled with humanoid models made into various twisted forms of death, spattered with blood and looking utterly tragic. The uncanny realism easily triggered the terror of the uncanny valley in people.

Moreover, the music along this section was really eerie!

It was not the hysterical screaming kind of sound, but rather a ghostly, mournful wailing, harrowingly unpleasant to listen to!

It was said the two tourists were here for the thrill of it.

And indeed, it was quite thrilling.

The female tourist, walking in the middle, looked around at the various twisted poses of the zombies standing there, her expression unexplainably uneasy. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The corridor was over three meters wide, with humanoid models on the outer side. They were in anguished, twisted postures, dressed in white clothes with painted bloodstains, stretching their sharp hands towards the tourists passing by as if to grab them.

The models were probably placed only on one side so that the more timid and frightened tourists could quickly pass through while sticking to the wall on the inner side.

In this respect, the staff were quite considerate.

If only they could reduce the number of zombie models.

...

[When she entered this pathway, in the dim light, she seemed to see one of the models moving, but before she could take a closer look at what it was, her boyfriend held her against the wall.]

[Oh, what a place he'd chosen for a quarrel.]

[But apart from the taste of mint gum, she also smelled a strong scent of blood.]

...

The model was moving.

The scent of blood was swirling around the tip of her nose.

The female tourist suddenly stepped forward quickly, reaching out her hand to lightly pinch the sleeve of the young man in front of her with her thumb and index finger.

Xu Shuo, walking in front, paused and turned to look at her.

"Do you smell the blood?"

Under the dim red light, the female tourist's complexion also appeared a bit strange, and she spoke in a low voice, leaning close to Xu Shuo.

But before Xu Shuo could say anything, the male security guard immediately spoke up, "I smell it too, and it's strong!"

This turn of events caused the three of them to momentarily stop in their tracks, halting in the middle of the passage leading to the second corner.

Having received an acknowledgement from the male security guard, the female tourist seemed to settle down a bit. She stared dead ahead at a certain spot, and with a suppressed trembling voice, she said, "Moreover, the model up front is moving, it seems to be struggling."

...

...

After her words fell, the corridor was silent for a while.

Until the female tourist felt that something was off and turned her head to size up the two men, "What's wrong?"

After the male security guard had taken a careful look in the direction she indicated, then turned his gaze back to her with a strange expression, "No, I didn't see anything moving."

Female Tourist: "..."

Suddenly, Xu Shuo felt her press even closer to him.

He sensed something was off and calmly said to the female tourist, "Don't be nervous. What exactly did you see? Tell us."

The female tourist had a strange look on her face as she glanced at the pile of zombie models in front, then took another look.

It took her a moment before she said, "The scent of blood is very strong. Among that pile of zombie models around the corner, there's one model leaning against the wall, its upper body collapsed on other models beside it, wearing a black dress, and then... um, the body was convulsing? The fingers were moving too... uh, it seems to have stopped moving now..."

She roughly finished recounting what she had seen and heard.

Suddenly, the male security guard asked, "What about the ground? Is there anything strange about the pathway on the floor?"

Upon hearing this, the female tourist subconsciously looked at the floor ahead. The yellow-brown corridor was quite clean and, perhaps for fear that tourists might run too fast and fall, the path was very smooth.

She shook her head, somewhat puzzled, "What about the ground? There's nothing strange."

Xu Shuo, upon hearing this, turned to ask the male security guard, "What did you see?"

"There are traces of blood spreading on the ground," the male security guard said with a frown. "That woman in the black dress is lying on the ground, pressing down on another fallen model, and the blood flowed from there to the middle of the pathway, the ground is covered in blood."

After he finished speaking, the three of them roughly guessed what was happening.

Each person was seeing a different scene!

Even more, the scenes of the haunted house they were now seeing might well be the same ones that the individuals saw on the day of the incident after entering the haunted house!

The female tourist went into the haunted house at five o'clock in the afternoon, and at that time, the deceased might not have been completely dead yet, hence the body still had some reflexes.

The male security guard had gone into the haunted house half an hour later, and by then, the deceased had completely died, and the models supporting her weight had also slipped and fallen over time, eventually falling down together.

The untreated wound was bleeding continuously, and over time, the blood spread from the pile of props until it reached the pathway, and it wasn't until the male security guard came to check the facilities that he discovered that something was amiss!

This haunted house was letting them see the scenes from that time!

Xu Shuo said, with an unchanged expression, "I did not see what you two are describing, the pile of models in front of me does not have a woman wearing a black dress."

The drowsy promoter had never entered the haunted house!
