Chapter 1 Entering the Haunted House

Just as Shen Wei was analyzing the rules on the notice board, the tourists in front of him began to move, entering the haunted house's interior one after another.

"Kid, are we going in or not?..." Shen Wei's Evil God Right Hand asked.

"Let's go in and observe the situation inside the haunted house first. Just now, I pushed the entrance door and found it was locked. It seems we can't leave from the main entrance. Even if we break the door open with force, those human-head balloons and the bizarre, murderous clown outside definitely won't let us go. The only way to return to the amusement park's surface world is to clear the haunted house..."

With that, Shen Wei strode towards the dark entrance of the haunted house.

"Are you saying that after using the last page of the Morning Light Amusement Park Visitor's Handbook, we entered the inner world of this terrifying amusement park? According to you, this haunted house is also located in the inner world..." The Evil God Right Hand said to Shen Wei while observing the dark surroundings with the red eye pattern on its palm.

"Not necessarily. I suspect this haunted house is a passage between the inner world and the real world. Half of it is in the inner world, and half is in the real world! Of course, this is just my guess, and it hasn't been confirmed..." Shen Wei said after a moment of thought.

The Evil God Right Hand kept observing the surroundings and giving him hints. Shen Wei continued to explore in the dark environment. According to the Evil God Right Hand's description, Shen Wei roughly judged that the theme of this haunted house was a terrifying hospital. Medical devices stained with blood were scattered everywhere, such as scalpels, hemostats, bone saws, and so on!

It was as if something extremely terrifying had happened here.

From the depths of the corridor in the distance came occasional clanging sounds, as if something had been knocked to the ground.

Even though the other tourists entered at almost the same time as him, Shen Wei couldn't see any trace of them after entering. It was as if they weren't in the same space.

"Aaaaaah..."

"What the hell?"

A shrill scream suddenly rang out in the darkness, startling Shen Wei.

But the sound stopped abruptly, leaving him completely bewildered.

"I need to find the escape terrain map and the flashlight mentioned in Rule 7 of the haunted house rules as soon as possible! However, these two items are in the hands of the NPC monsters in the haunted house. But are those monsters really NPCs, or just staff members dressed as monsters? Will they kill people? Are the rules correct? All of this needs to be verified..."

Shen Wei pondered as he groped his way forward in the haunted house.

The environment of the haunted house was slightly better. Although it was still pitch-black, there were a few scattered green emergency lights flickering on both sides of the corridor. But judging from their poor contact, it seemed like they could go out at any moment.

With the faint green light, Shen Wei noticed that the surroundings were all wards. Moreover, the doorknobs of these wards and the snow-white walls of the corridor were covered in smudges and bloody handprints.

"What happened here? A terrible massacre? Does the theme of this haunted house hide important information?"

Just as Shen Wei was carefully observing each ward, suddenly, a face appeared on the glass of a ward with a tightly closed door.

The face seemed to belong to a man, and his complexion was extremely pale, devoid of any color. His features were pressed tightly against the glass, and they were extremely distorted due to excessive force.

"Save me..."

A faint voice rang in Shen Wei's ears, as if someone was speaking behind him.

"Hiss!"

Shen Wei gasped and took out his Yin-Yang Umbrella. But the extremely distorted, pale face strangely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"Hey, kid, can you not be so jumpy in this kind of terrifying environment?" The Evil God Right Hand said with some dissatisfaction.

"Right Hand, did you see an extremely pale face on the glass of the ward door on my right just now?" Shen Wei looked at his Evil God Right Hand with a nervous expression.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? There was no pale face. This daddy's gaze has been on this side the whole time, and I didn't see anything at all..." The Evil God Right Hand's tone was full of suspicion, and it felt that Shen Wei was deliberately teasing him.

"How is that possible? Impossible, I clearly saw it!"

Shen Wei hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked into the dark ward again, but he couldn't see anything.

Shen Wei muttered to himself, "Am I seeing things, or am I hallucinating..."

The Evil God Right Hand thought for a moment and then said to Shen Wei, "Didn't the haunted house visitor rules say that the ghosts here are all fake, made up of high-tech equipment and staff members? Could that just now have been some kind of special effect, or maybe a staff member pretending? If that's the case, can we enter the ward and ask him for the haunted house escape terrain map and flashlight?"

"Something doesn't feel right here! And according to Rule 7 of the haunted house visitor rules, the flashlight and escape terrain map must be requested from a random monster. Does that face just now count as a monster?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Wei rejected the Evil God Right Hand's suggestion.

"What if he's a ghoul dressed up by a haunted house staff member?" The Evil God Right Hand retorted, unwilling to give up.

"Entering a closed, unknown room rashly is too dangerous. Why don't you give me a free simulation..."

At this moment, Shen Wei finally revealed his true purpose.

"You wish, kid. This daddy doesn't offer credit..." The Evil God Right Hand immediately became angry when it heard that Shen Wei wanted to freeload.

"Then I'll simulate it once! But it has to be fast, we can't delay here." Shen Wei's expression gradually became serious.

"Don't worry, if there's any danger, this daddy will wake you up immediately. Now, look at the red eye pattern on my palm..." Shen Wei looked towards his Evil God Right Hand in the faint green light of the emergency lamp.

"Simulation start!"

My name is Shen Wei, and by the time you hear my name, I may already be dead. Because I'm trapped in an extremely bizarre and terrifying haunted house. There's almost no light here, and my vision is severely limited.

However, I inadvertently saw a pale, eerie face in one of the wards, pressed against the door glass and calling for help.

My intelligent right hand immediately determined that he was a haunted house staff member in disguise. In order to find the flashlight and the terrain map to escape from here, I decided to follow my intelligent right hand's advice and go into the ward to find out.

I quietly turned the doorknob and opened the door to the ward. The slight sound of the door opening in this absolutely silent environment was incredibly frightening.
