The pungent smell came from the floor, mixed with other smells that had never been smelled before, in addition to the smell of disinfectant water that was common in hospitals.

Unlike the previous dark ward, this room is much brighter. It's just that the light source doesn't come from the window, but from the old-fashioned long tube lamp on the ceiling.

There are many large storage cabinets with white paint on the surface, perhaps because they are too old, and many places have lost their paint, revealing the original color of wood.

Storage shelves are stocked with a large number of glass containers filled with colorful liquids.

In addition to these, there are two glass jars with a cylinder more than two meters high, filled with black liquid, in the corner.

If you look closely, you can see what appears to be the outline of a human being in the liquid.

It's like imagining a strange doctor's laboratory.

"This cabinet should not have been placed by the staff."

Aokuna said suddenly, pointing to the storage cabinet that had fallen to the ground.

"Xiao Nai, you mean, the exit was not blocked in the first place?"

Hearing her words, Shiina Kiri also reacted.

"Yes, this amusement park has a lot of visitors, and if you have to knock down the lockers every time you get through this level.

The staff had to restore the lockers and place new glass containers after each clearance, which was a hassle. ”

"Makes sense." Shiina Kiri nodded approvingly. "So this locker was pushed to the exit by the last player who cleared the level?"

"That's how it should be, I couldn't open the exit in the passage before. Of course, this has a lot to do with the difficulty of exerting force in the passage. Aokuna said and looked at the exit where the two had left earlier.

"But I'm also sure that in that smooth passage that can't be borrowed, it's hard for even a normal adult male to push it away."

Shiina fog. “……”

"I mean, Shiina-kun has a lot of strength." Aozora stuck out her tongue and quickly added.

Shiina Kiri waved his hand. "It seems that our last player was quite lacking in morality."

If it weren't for his great strength, he knocked down the storage cabinet, and in that narrow and dark passage, even if the ghost didn't catch up, a normal person would hear those alarm bells and whimpering in the darkness behind him... will be scared half to death.

"It may also be that I was frightened by the 'ghost' in the ward, so after escaping, I subconsciously thought about blocking this exit."

Aokora said another possibility.

"After all, not everyone can find an exit in five minutes like us."

She said this with a little pride.

It's hard to imagine that this little princess, who has long been at the full level, would show such an expression because of such a trivial matter.

But yes, although she has been involved in all fields, she may be a little younger than him.

Taking off the halo of a princess, she is also just a high school girl.

Of course, if she were an enemy, she might be able to slap him to death.

But if she is a friend, maybe there is a chance to see her occasional coquettish gesture.

Just like it is now.

"Well, Xiao Nai is amazing." Shiina Kiri smiled and nodded.

It was really powerful, and she had been very calm in that room.

Oh, except when I was hit by him...

"No, Shiina-kun is also very powerful, and if you cooperate with Shiina-kun, you can rest assured that you can hand over your back." Aokong Na said matter-of-factly.

At that moment, there was a sudden sound of a door opening in the quiet room.

Shiina Kiri quickly restrained her smile and looked thoughtfully at the door.

As the iron door was pushed open, the two of them could see who was coming.

It's not some "ghost", it's not other players, it's the staff of the haunted house.

The leader was a bald man in a suit, neatly groomed.

After opening the door, he hurriedly walked to the two of them and took the initiative to say.

"Two friends, there are no injuries."

Shiina Kirishi was a little unexpected, and he had thought that the staff would blame them for destroying the equipment in the haunted house.

At that time, even if they argue with reason, they will waste a lot of time.

But at present, the other party is actually ready to apologize to them.

"No, but my girlfriend was frightened during the passage."

When he said this, he glanced at Qingkong Nai beside him, but saw her staring at him with wide eyes, and there was a lot of joy in her eyes, how could she be a little frightened.

Her supposed brilliant acting talent fell off the chain at a critical moment.

"I'm sorry that it was our negligence. Today, the staff of the haunted house is understaffed and did not immediately detect the problem. ”

The manager didn't seem to see anything unusual and made an excuse.

“……”

Later, Shiina Kirishi learned from his mouth that the recent expansion of the haunted house has not been completed.

As a result, the monitoring area was not staffed with sufficient manpower, so it was not immediately discovered that the passages to the wards and pharmacies were blocked by tourists with lockers.

This bald man in a suit who keeps bowing down is the manager of this haunted house, and his name is Nishitani Yuewen.

His respectful attitude made Shiina Kiri wonder if he knew Aokuna's identity.

"Anyway, I'm so sorry, but all the expenses for the two of you at Kagura Playground today are covered by us at the Beechcraft Haunted House."

Nishitani Yuefu bowed again, this time he didn't get up immediately, as if waiting for the forgiveness of Shiina and the two.

"Xiao Nai, what do you think?" Shiina Kiri looked at Aokora again.

"Listen to Shiina-kun."

It's like a well-behaved girlfriend who takes the initiative to rely on her boyfriend after getting into trouble together.

I didn't participate in it smartly, but as I said before, I was relieved to hand over my back to him and leave everything to him to handle.

"Well, so be it."

Since the other party's apology was so sincere, and they didn't really have any problems, Shiina Wu didn't plan to continue to pursue it.

As for the reimbursement of the cost of playing for two......

Although it's the eldest lady treating, it's free if it can be free, what they want is the attitude of a haunted house.

"Okay," Nishitani straightened up.

"I'm sorry to disturb the two of you, Yaxing, are you going to continue your adventure in the haunted house, or are you going to leave for a while and come back after you relax?"

Xigu Yuewen glanced at the staff on the right to tidy up the ground, and said again.

"If it's the latter, I'll let the staff arrange it, and then the two of you don't have to queue up to participate again."

"Let's get out of here first." Shiina said after a moment of silence.

Although the two of them only played for less than ten minutes, they had experienced a similar experience.

Aokora is obviously not very afraid of ghosts, and he finally feels that he has been interrupted, and there is no point in continuing to play.

"Okay, please come with me."

"Hmm." The two followed Takefumi Nishitani through the emergency passage and left the haunted house.

……

After leaving the haunted house, Shiina Kiri and Aozona came to a café.

Before that, Nishitani Yuefu planned to arrange lunch for the two, but was rejected by Shiina Kirishi on the grounds that he had "had lunch".

He specifically asked Nishitani where he could buy matcha cake.

The able, bald manager made a few phone calls and sent them to the café.

Matcha cake is a dessert that goes well with coffee.

Shiina Kiri sat across from Aokuna and watched her take a sip of her coffee as she took a sip of matcha cake.

"Xiao Nai, if you eat like this, won't you really gain weight?"

He had already seen Aokora eat a cake the size of three glasses.

"Am I fat?" Aokora stopped chewing and looked down at her stomach.

"Probably not, it's light."

He'd hugged her before, and it wasn't heavy.

She should be more than fifty kilograms, but she is very tall, in her early seventies of one meter.

And she has experience in dancing and taekwondo, and she will have a lot less soft meat than ordinary girls.

The point of explanation is that there will be much less subcutaneous fat.

"Okay." She put down her spoon and looked at the half-eaten matcha cake in front of her.

"Aren't you eating?"

"Well, I've already eaten several pieces." Aokuna looked at the matcha cake and smiled.

In fact, although she used to like to eat matcha cakes, in order to maintain her figure, she didn't eat much each time.

But lately, I've been eating it a lot, and I've been eating several pieces every time.

Maybe you won't be able to eat it in the future.

It's not that I can't eat it, but I can't eat it as happily as I am now.

"Xiao Nai, do you have something on your mind?"

Seeing Aokuna staring at the matcha cake, Shiina Kirishi asked.

"Nope." Aokuna shook her head.

"You can't waste it, especially the matcha cake."

She brought the plate containing half of the matcha cake to Shiina Kiri, smiling like a little witch.

Shiina fog. “……”

The cake on the plate was cut in half with a spoon, and from the top it looked like a crescent moon that was still quite full.

"The girl doesn't finish the cake, and the boyfriend is responsible for eating it."

She rested her hands flat on the edge of the table and leaned forward slightly, playing the role of her expectant girlfriend.

Sure enough, it was the eldest lady's love game, Shiina Kirishi sighed lightly, picked up the spoon and took a bite.

It's very sweet.

……

About half an hour later.

Hiroshi Fujita and Keiji Maeda, who received a message from Shiina Kiri's mobile phone, came to the café together.

"So you guys don't play much at all, and you're drinking coffee all the time!"

Fujita Hirochi first shouted, then turned his head to look at the tourists in the café who were staring at him strangely, and quickly covered his mouth.

"Yes, we passed a level and left the haunted house because of some accident." Shiina Kiri didn't explain much.

"You're so lucky, aren't you?" Hirochi Fujita sighed helplessly and continued.

"Miyoko-san and I were almost killed... No, we've been in the haunted house for a long time, and the props there are too real. ”

"I see." Shiina Kiri smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

It's hard to figure out whether he saw the props as real or from Hirochi Fujita's expression.

"Shiina I'm telling the truth, Miyoko-san and I were taken to a nurse's lounge, and it's full of ......"

Hirochi Fujita danced and gestured.

And Miyoko Kawashima, who was sitting next to him, just glanced at him, and continued to whisper with Tachibana Noya on the other side.

"Well, that does sound scary." Shiina Kirishi finally won the game.

The relationship between the two is good, and the sentence that was unclear before was just a habitual joke, and that's how they usually get along.

"I'll just say, Shiina, you left too early. You said before that the haunted house is not ......"

Realizing that it almost contradicted his previous rhetoric, Hiroshi Fujita stopped his mouth in time.

"Maeda, where are you and Aoyama from birth?"

Ignoring Hirochi Fujita, Shiina Kiri looked at the other two boys.

Keiji Maeda and Isamu Aoyama glanced at each other and said in unison. "Morgue."

Hearing this word, Tachibana Noya, who was whispering to Miyoko Kawashima, trembled in her body.

Shiina Kiri, listening to Keiji Maeda's description of the morgue, nodded from time to time.

It seems that it is really like what Hirochi Fujita said, and the haunted house is really scary right now.

The first time he and Aokora came to the haunted house to play, the birth point was the morgue, and at that time, the mold was very dramatic, and Aokora even pointed to a very fake mold and laughed.

It seems that the amusement park really allocated money to the haunted house and changed the script.

That's right, haunted houses are one of the signboards of amusement parks, so you have to be careful.

In fact, when leaving, Shiina Kirishi asked Nishitani Yuefumi about the clearance strategy of that ward.

It wasn't the manager of Nishiya who answered him, but a staff member next to him.

It is generally difficult to find an exit in five minutes, except for a blind cat running into a dead mouse.

After all, that ward is very realistic, and there are a lot of things that attract the player's attention... To be precise, it's a setup that wastes the player's time.

On top of that, the player doesn't even have a flashlight at first and can only follow their script.

In general, players need to hide before the second alarm goes off, and that ward has a lot of places to hide, like a closet, under a table, under a bed......

Of course, the bedside table at the exit is also one of the options, but once you have the idea of the "head" in the cabinet, you will subconsciously pass this option.

If you find a hiding place, you won't be caught by a ghost as long as you don't make a sound.

But hiding in a small space, the fear in your heart will undoubtedly be infinitely magnified.

In addition, the sound of leaky breathing of the "nurse ghost" outside, the footsteps of the "patient ghost", and the piercing alarm bell......

The terrifying effect that the haunted house wanted was achieved.

After about a minute of going off, the alarm will stop ringing, and the two ghosts will return to their original places.

Players need to take advantage of the gap of five minutes before the alarm goes off for the third time to find an exit.

If you still can't find it, there's no use in hiding.

After the staff member finished speaking, Manager Nishitani asked Shiina Kiri not to reveal the script.

Shiina Kirishi also felt more and more that this Nishitani manager had seen the identity of Aokuna.

Otherwise, if there is such a small thing as an accident, it is completely up to the staff to solve it before they complain.

As for how he recognized Aokuna.

Shiina Kirishi thinks it might be the same call from Aokuna last time.

Although it is impossible to reveal her true identity on the phone, these managers of the amusement park will definitely be told not to annoy the big man.

And Aokong Na's pink hair is really easy to recognize, after all, other people don't choose this color even if they dye their hair.

Pink hair is too difficult to control unless you are naturally beautiful.
