Hoo…
Zuo Si let out a breath.
This was a puppet, and it was obvious at a glance when it was static.
It was just a one-star horror scene, and achieving this level was already quite scary.
If every Jump Scare Point felt like actually encountering a ghost, then they might as well not operate at all.
Not many people would dare to play.
This level was just right; after scaring you, it immediately told you it was fake.
After encountering it multiple times, you would gradually get used to it.
However…
Where did that puppet riding a bicycle go?
Why was it missing?!!
With its snail-like speed, it shouldn’t be gone.
But there was no time to worry about that; he couldn’t go searching room by room, could he?
The puppet on the ceiling suddenly bounced back, hiding again in the darkness.
“All high-tech, automatic sensing trigger…”
Zuo Si felt like he had struck gold; he had saved on labor costs for this part.
He continued forward and stopped at the entrance of a room without a doorplate.
Inside, a wooden horse was shaking continuously, but there was no wind here, making it look quite eerie.
Zuo Si knew that the little ghost named Zuo Jun was hiding inside.
“From now on, this will be your home; you need to behave, understand?”
There was no answer, but the rocking of the wooden horse grew more intense.
Zuo Si arrived at the door of the operating room and suddenly recalled a scene from his previous livestream at You Ren Hospital.
Back then, he had also stood at the door of the operating room and was startled by a loud noise.
Out of curiosity, he had entered Zuo Jun’s room.
“At that time, did Zuo Jun want to scare me away? Did he not want me to enter the operating room?”
“If that’s the case, this little ghost is quite clever.”
Zuo Si pushed the door open and entered the operating room. Being back here gave him a sense of peace.
This was Meng Miaoxue’s territory; she shouldn’t let any random chaotic things come in.
He began searching for Operating Room 3 but went around several times without finding it.
Last time, he didn’t want to go in, but kept running into it.
This time, he actively searched, yet it was nowhere to be found.
It was like a shy girl hiding away…??
Arriving at the door of Operating Room 1, the door was wide open, and the light inside was dim, barely allowing him to see the environment.
The four nurses were gone, leaving only four tattered human models standing in the center of the room.
Zuo Si clearly remembered being quite frightened by these four ghostly things back then.
Now that they were in his hands, he definitely couldn’t let them off the hook.
However…
It was better to establish a good relationship with Meng Miaoxue first; if he got into a conflict with these four female ghosts, Meng Miaoxue wouldn’t help him.
That would be interesting.
Zuo Si left Operating Room 1, winding around, and finally saw the sign for Operating Room 3.
“It’s actually at the very back; no wonder I couldn’t find it…”
The door was tightly shut, but Zuo Si didn’t hesitate and pushed it open.
These soul employees wouldn’t harm even the tourists, let alone him.
Of course, that was as long as he didn’t act like a Daredevil.
The operating room was silent, and Meng Miaoxue didn’t ask ‘why’ again.
Zuo Si placed the printed stack of news articles on the ground.
“Meng Miaoxue, I have good news for you; you became famous all over the country fifteen years ago! All the major headlines were about you!”
Zuo Si pointed at the news on the ground and said, “You can check for yourself; even first-line stars can’t have such treatment.”
Clack~!
A pair of worn-out red high heels stepped out from behind the operating table.
A chilling wind blew, lifting the printed papers on the floor, making them tremble slightly in mid-air.
After a few seconds…
Buzz! Buzz!
The Black Mobile Phone vibrated, and Zuo Si received a notification.
“Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations on completing the favorability task for Meng Miaoxue; her favorability towards you has increased to three stars!”
“Dear Soul Keeper, Meng Miaoxue’s favorability towards you has reached three stars.”
Yes/No, include her as ‘my Ghost Employee’.
Zuo Si chose to include her without any hesitation.
“Dear Soul Keeper, congratulations, Meng Miaoxue has successfully joined your team.”
“Dear Soul Keeper, because you successfully acquired your first Ghost Employee, a special scene reward ‘Lu Liangyuan’s Surgical Knife’ has been triggered.”
Yes/No to claim.
“Lu Liangyuan’s Surgical Knife?”
Zuo Si was startled; he had a bit of a psychological shadow regarding Lu Liangyuan and didn’t really want his stuff.
But since the Black Mobile Phone treated it as a reward, it should have some use.
After much thought, Zuo Si chose to claim it.
After completing everything, he looked at the Chat.
“Damn, the live streamer can’t really be seeing ghosts, right? What was he mumbling about just now?”
“How did those red high heels come out? How did those papers fly? Oh my god, this haunted house can’t really have ghosts, can it?”
“Can’t you see through this? Those red high heels can be triggered by a simple mechanism, and as for those papers? There must be a convection fan in a place we can’t see! Ugh! I’m just too smart; being too smart is also a trouble.”
“…”
“Dear viewers, this is currently the scariest room in our haunted house; it’s too terrifying, so I won’t show it to you.”
Zuo Si said, “But to avoid disappointing everyone, I’ll go to another Jump Scare Point to slightly stimulate your fragile nerves.”
“Haha, I heard the most ridiculous joke of the 21st century today; someone actually said my nerves are fragile.”
“Those two Jump Scare Points just now should be the scariest things in this haunted house; the live streamer is now still so brazen~ Haha, let’s see how he gets off the stage later.”
“What are you waiting for, live streamer? Hurry up and go; we’re waiting to see!”
“OK!” Zuo Si made an OK gesture to the camera, suppressing his laughter as he walked toward Operating Room 1, finally able to let others experience his pain!
Although it was through a screen and it was daytime, the horror factor would be greatly reduced, but it would still be enough for this group of viewers to enjoy.
“Oh, right.” Before leaving, he didn’t forget to take the high heels with him.
Arriving at Operating Room 1, Zuo Si placed the red high heels next to the four tattered models.
He whispered to the high heels, “Meng Miaoxue, please help me out and let them perform a needle-eating act.”
There was no response, and Zuo Si awkwardly looked at the Chat.
“I don’t think this haunted house necessarily has ghosts, but the live streamer definitely has issues, talking to a pair of high heels; he must be going crazy thinking about women.”
“Check out the Qingshui City Third Mental Hospital; live streamer, you need to DM me; my uncle is a doctor there.”
“…”
There was no change in the room for a long time, and Zuo Si’s voice seemed to sink into the sea.
“Not cooperating? How embarrassing is that?”
“I’ve already blown the trumpet; let me show off a bit; with so many people in the livestream, where should I put my face?”
Zuo Si was a bit angry and stopped asking Meng Miaoxue for help, directly shouting at the four human models.
“Hurry up and perform a needle-eating act! Otherwise, I’ll fire you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights flickered, and the lights in the room suddenly went out.
Zuo Si jumped in surprise.
He thought, these four women wouldn’t turn against him, would they? Damn?
He picked up the high heels from the ground and held them close, warily staring into the surrounding darkness.
“I have three stars of favorability with Meng Miaoxue; she can’t just ignore me, right.”
