Chapter 260: "The Clown's Haunted House Murder (Part I)"
"You call that horror video?"
Entering the mansion, Gu Yun's face was still full of confusion, and on the point of "horror", he felt that he had never been able to reach an agreement with the people around him.
In his opinion, in the surveillance video just now, the clown walked slowly from far and near with a hammer, obviously to show the heaviness of the hammer and the hardships of the clown dragging heavy objects, as for the later close-up, it was more to show that the clown was tired and sweaty, and the oil paint on his anxious face was spent.
As an enthusiastic citizen of X City, Gu Yun felt that it was normal for him to help the clown open the door.
Gu Tiantian didn't have the rich psychological activities in Gu Yun's heart, and she couldn't look directly at the clown outside the door now, especially in order to make their visit go smoothly, the clown also closed the door herself.
Fortunately, the atmosphere in the haunted house is very well arranged, the house is arranged according to the specifications of the mansion, there are a lot of broken cobwebs on the walls, and the only light source is the flashlight given to them by the staff when entering the haunted house.
The ghostly shadows that flicker in the mirror, the cold sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the intermittent whispers successfully bring back the terrifying atmosphere of the haunted house.
After walking through the living room, Gu Tiantian gradually entered the state again.
"The newspaper said that a total of four members were killed in the good mansion that year, including the male and female owners of the villa, their son and daughter, and the surveillance camera showed that in the early hours of the morning, two clowns broke into the villa."
Avril used the light source of a flashlight to shine on the old newspaper and read out the news that had been reported that year.
Based on her extensive experience in decryption, the content given in these reports is often very important, and is usually used to solve a puzzle or important information about a mechanism.
A family of four, two clowns......
Wait a minute, two clowns?
When Gu Yun opened the door just now, they obviously only saw a clown.
"Whoa—"
"Ahh
Hearing the sound of glass breaking, Gu Tiantian, who was closest to the window, subconsciously exclaimed, and her peripheral vision saw another clown who was rolling in through the glass of the dining room, and instinctively rushed into the kitchen.
Avril was pleasantly surprised to take a look at the hard-working staff, the quality of the haunted house here is super high, and the rhythm is very well grasped!
However, in order to ensure that the haunted house experience could go smoothly, she quickly grabbed Gu Yun's arm and dragged him into the kitchen, lest he see the slow progress of the clown who broke through the window, and enthusiastically went over to pull others.
The two of them walked into the kitchen with their front feet, and the automatic door of the kitchen closed tightly.
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
"Boom-"
After about ten seconds, the familiar sound of slamming the door sounded again.
However, they found that the kitchen was a closed room, without even a flash of windows.
There were disgusting meats and various foods on the stove in the old age, and although he knew that these were props, Gu Tiantian couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.
She had to admit that if her brother didn't open the door randomly, this haunted house would still be quite scary.
The dead end, and the constantly approaching clowns, this sense of oppression is indescribable, no wonder there have been fights between tourists and staff before.
"Let's go, let's go behind the fireplace!"
Avril had quickly solved the puzzle according to the content of the report, and Gu Tiantian pushed the fireplace, and sure enough, she found the hidden passage behind her.
"Huh? How do you know? ”
"It was said on the news that when the clown broke in, the male and female hosts were drinking in the restaurant, and the police found their bodies at the table, so I guess the second clown broke in from the restaurant."
Some tourists with a lot of experience in haunted houses can guess that there will be a second clown in the restaurant when they report on the news, and the enclosed secret room and the clown who keeps banging on the door are undoubtedly the classic decryption.
If the player cannot go directly through the kitchen door, there must be another exit from the kitchen.
So she quickly looked at the second report.
Kids Behind the Fireplace! The only survivor! 》
Here's the next story.
According to the report, a family of five originally lived in the mansion, and in addition to the four people killed, a five-year-old boy survived.
"According to the interview, the little boy was looking for something to eat, and after hearing the screams and noises in the living room, he hid behind the fireplace, so I guess the secret passage is hiding here."
"Avril, you're amazing!"
As soon as the three of them entered the secret passage behind the closet, the closet that had been pushed back into place was returned, and the sound of breaking into the door was heard, and through a wall, they could all hear the clown's footsteps from far and near, and the sound of the murder weapon dragging on the ground.
This feeling that the murderer was only separated by a wall perfectly restored the horror of the little boy hiding in the closet at that time.
Immediately afterward, there seemed to be a conversation outside the wall.
"This gentleman, the guest in front of you hasn't left yet, please ...... first"
The conversation came to an abrupt end, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
???
Is there a problem with the staff's arrangement, which caused the tourists in the back to enter the venue early?
But thinking about it, my brother just made an oolong out, and it is understandable that the staff was messed up for a while.
"Let's hurry up."
Gu Tiantian whispered.
Behind the tunnel is a staircase that leads to what appears to be the basement of the mansion.
The basement is even darker, and the creaking of rats can be heard from time to time, and the cramped space is full of analyses on both sides, making it seem like you could rub on disgusting bugs at any moment.
The next road turns to the left and seems to be divisible directly below the restaurant.
The wooden floor overhead deliberately creates a texture of disrepair, and through the gap, the three of them can vaguely see the scene upstairs.
This kind of killer is just above their heads, and the atmosphere that may smash the floor and appear in front of them at any time is also very good.
But the only problem is that the killer is ......
Why does it look like someone is being dragged out of the restaurant?
Gu Tiantian and Avril looked at each other, and they clearly saw the staff dressed as clowns slumped to the ground, dragged by a man in a black trench coat to the door.
Just through the gap, the three of them couldn't see the appearance of the man in black.
Then, the warm, viscous liquid dripped through the cracks and onto Avril's shoulder
She dipped her index finger in the liquid on her shoulder and shone it in the light of a flashlight.
Red, it seems to be blood.
"Could it be that there are other killers in the haunted house?"
She immediately went over the headlines of all the stories, and there was no mention of any other killers or ghosts in the first and last days.
From her professional point of view, adding other elements to the clown-themed haunted house is likely to directly disrupt the continuity of the horror, causing the atmosphere to become nondescript, and adding other killers is not a good trick.
And the terrifying atmosphere in the basement is not only the rats and spiders that may appear at any time, but also the clown who is located above them.
The clown can only maximize the terrifying atmosphere if they are basically in line with their pace.
Well, I'll have to talk to the staff about this later......
"Anyway, is it part of a haunted house for the clown to be killed?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Gu Yun asked in the spirit of asking without understanding, "The person who knocked on the door just now has been killed." ”
