Chapter 159
"If you didn't make the mist, did a ghost make it!" the man wearing a hat roared loudly.
"Buzz... It really wasn't me. Do you have an opinion about me? Actually, besides being taller, more handsome, and younger than you, it's no big deal. Why do you keep picking on me? Yesterday was the same. I said I had already gotten rid of the mist, but you still didn't believe me and insisted on saying it was me." Accompanied by the sound of current, the person in the intercom said dissatisfiedly.
The man wearing a hat twitched his eyes, his veins bulging. He stopped paying attention to the idiot in the intercom and turned to the young man next to him: "Who recruited this guy? Let him get lost tomorrow!"
"That's not good, he's a student from the nearby Ninth Beast Taming High School, here for a summer job," the young man expressed his opinion:
"Most of our customer traffic comes from students of this school. If he goes back and adds fuel to the fire, I'm afraid we'll suffer a great loss."
The man wearing a hat calmed down a little.
Opening this kind of shop is originally to earn money from young people. The shop was opened here in the first place for the students of the nearby school.
Especially since this school is a Beast Taming High School, the customer traffic includes not only students but also their pet beasts.
"Forget it, there aren't many days left in the summer vacation anyway..." After the man wearing a hat finished speaking, he felt he had lost some face and added: "Let him get lost as soon as the summer vacation is over!"
"Understood..."
The young man hadn't finished speaking when he was stunned by the scene on the monitor.
Only to see that the lights in the escape room that was on fire on the monitor were bright, but the next second it went completely dark again.
Not only that, the background lights that originally created the horror atmosphere were all turned off, leaving only the burning fire to let people see the outline of the scene in the picture slightly.
"Damn it, who turned off the lights! Hurry up and turn them all on for me!" The man wearing a hat also saw the scene on the monitor and roared at the intercom.
However, there was only a "buzzing..." current sound in the intercom, and no one answered him.
The man wearing a hat felt his anger surge and just wanted to greet everyone's family.
Just at this moment, the young man on the side had a grave expression and said: "The color of this mist is wrong."
The artificial mist in the shop is purple, but when the lights turned on just now, the mist seen was black.
At the same time.
"I didn't expect the service of this shop to be so in place," Qiao Sang looked at the picture on the virtual screen and sighed, forgetting for a moment to think about whether the room was high enough.
It was on fire inside, but they didn't put out the fire immediately, instead continuing to create a horror atmosphere. They are truly professional!
It's just that this mist seems a bit heavy...
It's almost covering the entire scene.
Fang Fang Sisi came back to her senses, looked at the screen, and said uncertainly: "I remember this escape room didn't set up this plot."
She stayed here with the Cotton-Sun Jie Worm, watching a dozen games a day, and she had long kept in mind when the horror sound effects would hit and at what stage the NPCs would come out.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen pet beasts destroy the props inside. Yesterday, there was a Flat-Beaked Fire Duck that burned most of the props in the second level, although it was far from as serious as it is now...
But at that time, they also put out the fire immediately and then used Black-Black Mud to take the Flat-Beaked Fire Duck to the next level.
Qiao Sang was stunned when she heard this. When she looked at the screen again, she found that the mist had already shrouded the entire picture.
The burning smoke overlapped with the mist, making it impossible to see the scene inside anymore.
Qiao Sang frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she formed seals with both hands, preparing to summon Like Ya Bao back.
Three seconds later, her expression was a bit ugly.
The summoning failed...
"Can you summon the Cotton-Sun Jie Worm back now?" Qiao Sang turned her head and asked.
Fang Fang Sisi was stunned. Although she didn't know why, seeing Qiao Sang's sealing movements just now and her serious expression, she knew something might have happened.
"Okay."
She nodded and made the summoning seals with both hands.
"Holy crap, why can't I summon it back?!" Fang Fang Sisi's expression changed, and she said in a panic.
Others in the observation room heard this and formed seals one after another, preparing to recall their pet beasts.
Soon, everyone present had a pale face.
"How is it possible..."
"I actually failed!"
"Me too!"
Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn't say anything more and walked straight out.
Her brain domain had already reached over 10%. As long as the distance from Like Ya Bao wasn't very far, and she could feel Like Ya Bao's position in her mind, it was impossible not to be able to summon it back.
The fact that everyone couldn't summon their pet beasts just now confirmed her guess.
Something happened...
"I'll go with you!" Fang Fang Sisi hurriedly stood up and followed.
"I'm going too!"
"Together, together!"
"And me!"
Everyone else followed.
Just as the last person stepped out of the observation room, a red eye suddenly appeared on the picture on the virtual screen.
This eye filled the entire screen, and it was pressed tightly against the camera, turning slightly left and right.
The next second, the picture flickered twice and turned off.
"You can't go in!" the staff member tried his best to stop them.
"Why can't we go in? Our pet beasts are all inside! Who will be responsible if something happens?" The man who had been startled by the little Treasure-Hunting Ghost just now said with excitement.
"Exactly! Didn't you call inside just now and no one answered? Something must have happened! Let me in!" A girl next to him had red eyes.
"We have already sent people in to check, and they will come out in a while. Please calm down. Wait for him to come out. If something really happened, we will call the police to solve it," the staff member comforted.
"By the time the police come, it'll be too late! You have to know there's a Yanling Dog inside! Do you know what a Yanling Dog is? Its Beast Tamer is right here! Beauty, you tell..." The man turned his head and was stunned. Where is the Yanling Dog's Beast Tamer?
It was pitch black in the escape room.
Qiao Sang used her phone's flashlight to shine inside.
Taking advantage of the staff member's inattention just now, she pulled Fang Fang Sisi and ran in.
Facts have proven that sometimes one must know how to be flexible and not be too rigid, otherwise, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get in even if you talked until your mouth was dry.
"Go left," Fang Fang Sisi pointed the way on the side.
The Cotton-Sun Jie Worm worked here, so she had naturally been inside and watched this Lost Town escape room.
This was also the reason why Qiao Sang didn't mind the trouble of bringing her along.
Soon they reached the first-level escape room where Like Ya Bao was originally on the screen.
The mist inside had dissipated, and the fire had gone out for some reason, leaving only the wreckage of props and a pungent smoky smell.
Qiao Sang closed her eyes and felt Like Ya Bao's position.
The fragments of the picture in her mind pieced together. She saw that the background in the picture was all black, and she couldn't see its specific location clearly, only knowing that the distance was no more than a hundred meters.
"It's not here, let's keep going inside," Qiao Sang opened her eyes and said.
"Wait." Fang Fang Sisi used her phone's flashlight to shine on the ground, walked forward three steps, then walked left two steps, and then squatted down and knocked on the stone slab on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked.
"There's a room underneath this. Remember the NPC who was taken underground? That was done by Black-Black Mud using its characteristics. If there are no accidents, the two of them should still be in the room below. Ask them, maybe they know what happened," Fang Fang Sisi explained.
"Is the Black-Black Mud you're talking about this one?" Qiao Sang stepped forward, picked up something pitch-black on the ground next to her, and asked.
Fang Fang Sisi was stunned, took her phone, and used the flashlight to shine on the pitch-black head in Qiao Sang's hand.
"... It's it."
