Chapter 452: The Strange Redwood Door
Chapter 452: The Strange Redwood Door
"Can you tell us about the theme?" Gu Chaoxi asked.
In fact, there was almost no introduction to the haunted house theme in the entire hall, but when she was talking to the girl at the bar, she noticed that the girl had a reservation record in her hand.
It seems that the boss goes out to solicit customers to attract tourists who are going to visit the haunted house in the future.
However, the boss did not answer Gu Chaoxi's question, but just raised his hand and scratched his hair with a smile.
"Sorry, you need to explore the theme on your own. You can choose any one between one to four to experience it."
Since he doesn't say anything, there's really nothing we can do.
“How long does it take to complete a topic?”
"Most of the day will be enough." the boss replied.
Gu Chaoxi thought for a moment and took out some money from his wallet: "We want to play the first theme, eight people."
"Okay, that's perfect."
The boss took the money, gave Gu Chaoxi the change, and walked out of the bar.
"I'll take you in."
There is only one door in the hall that leads to the theme inside, so if they are not led by the boss, they are likely to walk into other themes.
The door leading inside was also covered with a thick curtain, so the scene inside could not be seen from the hall.
The boss lifted the curtain and went in, and several people behind him followed one after another.
As I walked into the new environment, the view became darker.
There are only four overhead lights, which illuminate the four arrow marks on the ground. Obviously, the direction of each mark corresponds to a theme.
When the boss walked to the third sign from left to right, he stopped and raised his hand to lift up a curtain.
"Go in from here and you'll reach the first theme. Once you're done, all the lights inside will light up, and you can then return the same way you came."
It seems that the construction here is not yet complete enough to have a separate exit.
But it was not a big problem, and several people walked in one after another.
The boss waited until Luo Zhenxian, who was walking at the end, had already gone in before lowering the curtain and shouting to the inside: "Have fun!"
I don’t know whether it will be pleasant or not yet, so let’s just take it one step at a time.
Gu Chaoxi muttered to himself and began to look around.
The place they were currently in was more like some place in ancient times, because the light in this small space was very dim, illuminating only a large mahogany door in front.
Looking up carefully, there was a tattered plaque hanging above the door, with the words "Sun Mansion" written on it.
However, the plaque is very old and there are even dense spider webs hanging on it.
There are also mottled scratches on the large mahogany door.
This large mahogany door was not completely closed, but was slightly open.
It is difficult to see clearly what is inside through this crack; only a dark line can be seen.
This feeling of the unknown has invisibly begun to increase people's sense of fear.
Apart from the big mahogany door, the only thing around where they were standing was a fallen red lantern at the lower right corner of the door.
The red lantern was covered with a layer of dust and cobwebs, and even the rice paper on the outside had been scratched.
Shen Lan withdrew his gaze and felt a chill for no reason.
She raised her hand and touched her arm, then took a step towards Qin Wei: "Do you feel that there is wind here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a creaking sound was heard in the silent darkness.
Not to mention Shen Lan, even Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan were startled by the sudden voice.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Chaoxi felt that the gap in the large mahogany door was a little wider than what he had just seen.
"There was indeed wind, blowing from behind, which just blew the door open, so there was a sound."
She quickly explained, walked forward, and pushed the large mahogany door open with her hand.
With a gust of wind, the maple leaves on the ground in the yard rolled inward a few times.
Everyone looked towards the yard and was shocked.
It was a main hall, but there were white lanterns hanging in the corridor and a little candlelight was dimly lit inside.
There is a white flag flying under the white lanterns.
As the wind blew behind me, the maple leaves scattered in the yard moved with the wind, making a small rustling sound.
Gu Chaoxi turned around and looked behind her. She could not see anything except a rock-like wall.
Could it be that this boss really made a deal with some evil god as the legend goes?
But soon, she was frightened by her own thoughts and pinched her thigh secretly.
How could she think like that? Either the boss was really capable and used a special method to hide all the props.
How could she believe that there were such things as evil gods in reality?
Seeing her serious expression, Pei Yan also looked back, but there was nothing.
Qin Wei had already stepped into the yard.
"It looks like an ancient funeral."
Qin Wei was already standing in the corridor, looking up at the white lanterns above.
"It's just, it's a little weird."
Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan also went inside, and when they heard her say this, they naturally responded.
"Ah." Qin Wei sighed softly, clapped his hands, and raised his hand to point at the lantern above.
"It uses red wedding candles inside."
The two looked in the direction of her finger, and indeed, they could see a candle from under the lantern.
However, the candle was not white, but red, and there seemed to be some kind of carved patterns around it.
Gu Chaoxi didn't know much about this, but since Qin Wei was so sure about it, it must be correct.
As everyone walked in, the original large mahogany door slammed shut in an instant.
Luo Zhen, who was walking at the end, was startled. He turned around and saw that the door was closed tightly and even bolted.
"No, who, who can put the bolt on the door!"
It was at this moment that he finally realized the weirdness of this place.
Regardless of whether it is because of the advanced settings of the haunted house, there is no high-tech stuff to be seen around.
Moreover, there was no one behind him just now. After he walked into the yard, the door behind him suddenly closed, and even brought up a gust of wind as it brushed against his body.
He turned around almost instantly because of fright, but in such a short time, the bolt was actually inserted.
How is this possible?
I found out that the bolts of this kind of large mahogany doors are placed next to the door and must be lifted up and inserted manually.
Luo Zhenxian's face turned pale. He felt that he was not suitable for playing this kind of game at all.
"No, I want to get out, I want to get out of here!"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response at all.
Qi Chuzhao frowned, turned around and followed Pei Yan and the others into the main hall.
Only Shen Lan looked back and said, "If you don't catch up, there's really no way out of this place."
