Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 138: A Good Bird Chooses a Good Tree to Perch On

The tense and exciting first day of the competition has come to an end.

Hanjiang City Forensic Medical College Professional Team: 103 points; Avengers: 97 points; Tian Teng Hospital: 101 points; Lychee and Her Team: 104 points.

Other teams have a maximum score of around 80 points, and only these four teams have achieved a significant lead, creating a four-way battle for supremacy.

Since half of the teams had not yet entered the venue, the competition had to be postponed. This suited Zhang Ze's wishes even better. Since Uncle Xu was representing New Century Amusement Park and fully supporting him in organizing the competition, it would be pointless to hold it for only one day.

Even if he wanted to promote his haunted house properly, a one-day competition was far from enough, and Lin Xiaomei couldn't write many articles.

It must be postponed!

Not only was the match postponed, but Zhang Ze also personally assisted Lin Xiaomei in writing the match report for the first day.

"Riding the spring breeze, the horse gallops swiftly, seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day! The first four teams held a commanding lead, but who was the biggest dark horse of the competition?!"

at the same time.

New Century Amusement Park, next to a guesthouse/hotel.

"500 yuan a night? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"Hey girl, the New Century Amusement Park next door is hosting a haunted house major tournament. I bet you're contestants too. If you can afford to go to a haunted house, you probably don't mind paying a little extra for accommodation, right?"

"Prices go up slightly during competitions, that's normal. Aren't all events like the NBA, the World Cup, anime conventions, and concerts like that?"

The proprietress spoke with conviction.

Lychee's forehead showed an angry expression, but she quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "In that case, book us two twin rooms."

The room has been booked.

"Sister Huang, lock the door, and be careful not to let those two teammates hear you."

"Are you going to attack again? That haggard-looking woman doesn't look appetizing."

"I know, but I can't swallow this. That arrogant, domineering woman is trying to rip me off by raising prices! I'm going to kill her!"

……

It was late at night.

After finishing her business, Lizhi returned to her room and wiped the blood off her face in front of the mirror at the sink. Through the mirror, she saw a woman standing behind her who did not look quite like her.

This woman vanished in a flash.

If it were someone else, they might think they were hallucinating.

Lychee felt a slight tremor in her heart, but quickly returned to normal.

This is her pact with the monster behind the door.

The monster inside her has a growing appetite. Since she joined the Ghost Stories Association last week, perhaps due to the attraction between kindred spirits, she needs to eat more meat to satisfy her needs.

Simply luring listeners to a designated location was no longer enough to satisfy her needs.

She asked the other members of the Ghost Stories Association for help.

The condition given to her by number ten was...

Do something for the Ghost Stories Association.

Come to New Century Amusement Park.

So she came.

With her was another female member surnamed Huang, whom she referred to as Sister Huang.

"Litchi, do you think we can succeed?"

"Why not? It's a very simple task. Get the intelligence, leave, it's that simple. It's not even as dangerous as some of the dangers I've experienced." Lychee looked at Sister Huang.

Sister Huang is a veteran member of the Ghost Stories Association.

Lizhi had never heard Sister Huang tell her ghost stories, but judging from her calm reactions when listening to others tell stories, her background was definitely not simple.

When Sister Huang suddenly said that, Lychee keenly sensed something was amiss.

"You're number twelve, you joined too late. You don't know how bad the impact of that incident was."

"You mean, the devil and Xiong Qing died at the hands of that haunted house owner?" Lychee remembered this.

Sister Huang nodded slightly and lay on the bed. Although her eyes were closed, Lizhi could feel someone watching her from somewhere, like a chilling gaze fixed on her.

This chilling sense of being watched.

Even the thing inside the lychee felt uncomfortable.

"That's right, you haven't seen the devil in action. He used to have twin daughters, who died and turned into a pair of red-clad women, which also drove him insane."

"Besides, Xiong Qing is no pushover either; even I have to put in a lot of effort to deal with him."

"More importantly, the devil is the number one of the Ghost Stories Association. He has a lot of resources. As far as I know, he has a dead man's finger, a human skin mask, and Number Ten also gave him a box of things behind the door."

"With this lineup, even if they can't kill Chen Ge, they'll at least skin him alive, right?"

"As it turned out, we saw it during the day. Chen Ge was perfectly fine, without any signs of injury. Even the guy in his shadow... didn't look like he had eaten anything."

Sister Huang's analysis was very logical and reasonable.

After listening, Lizhi felt that the logic was sound, but she didn't understand why Sister Huang was telling her all this at this critical juncture.

Seeing that Lychee remained silent, Sister Huang scoffed:

"Sigh, young people, all they have are big breasts and no brains."

"Let me be blunt with you, if the Ghost Stories Association is going to fight Chen Ge to the death, there's no need for them to send us to participate in this boring competition."

"We're not testing Chen Ge, we're testing Zhang Ze."

Sister Huang finally made her point clear.

Lychee was shocked to hear this, but couldn't believe it.

After Chen Ge broke into the third ward last time, he killed Xiong Qing, Xu Tong and others, thus forging a deadly feud with the Ghost Story Association. They also learned that there was a door inside Chen Ge's haunted house, an open door. In addition, both Chen Ge's haunted house and their Ghost Story Association are located in the western suburbs of Hanjiang City.

With all these factors combined, a life-or-death struggle is inevitable between the Ghost Stories Association and Chen Ge.

Zhang Ze's involvement was purely accidental.

Originally allies, after listening to Sister Huang's analysis, Lychee felt that it made sense.

"If that's the case, the two of us alone can't possibly deal with Zhang Ze and Chen Ge. We've been to his haunted house. His haunted house is connected to a door, and the ghosts behind that door are more numerous than we've ever seen in our entire lives."

"To go against this kind of person is to commit suicide."

"We've all witnessed Zhang Ze's abilities, and looking at the Ghost Stories Association's attitude towards us, don't you think they're treating us like pawns?"

"The devil and Xiong Qing came to carry out the assassination mission, and they even had a box of things from the world behind the door to protect them, but the two of us had nothing, and they still called us here."

"They didn't take us seriously at all!"

Lychee paused.

"Sister Huang, I've always considered you a senior. What do you mean by that?"

Such an obvious defection.

If this happened on the peninsula, they'd probably be eating purple eggs by now.

Sister Huang shook her head.

She knew she couldn't upset Lizhi at this critical moment; she had to keep her mental state normal, otherwise, a cornered dog might do anything.

"I'm just reminding you of something."

"The competition isn't over yet. We'll make it to the quarterfinals. Let's control our strength, not aim for the championship, and just stay out of the spotlight."

"We have ample time to analyze Zhang Ze's strength and whether it's worthwhile for us to do certain things."

"after all……"

"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on."
