Time in a collapsing world

"Jing, I want to go in now. Even if ghosts or something appear, I will use Judas to smash them all!" Theresa was aggressive. She had already given it her all for the limited edition Golden Hoom King, but she didn't know how long this momentum could last. Zijing guessed that the little girl would probably lose her spirit if she was scared after going in.

"Let me make it clear in advance that those ghosts are disguised by ordinary people. Let alone Judas, he would lose half his life if he was hit by your punch."

Zijing said, seeing Theresa didn't react, as if she was possessed, he looked helplessly at Alicia and Vilvi who was pretending to be mysterious and silent beside her, "These tourists were beaten up in your haunted house, should it be okay?"

"Oh? Would you allow your lovely sister to hit someone?" Alicia asked back.

"Maybe I didn't keep an eye on it for a moment?"

"That's a bit troublesome... Then count me in, and the three of us will go in together, is that ok, dear Vivi?" Alicia asked the girl beside her.

"Of course, we enter in groups of two or three each time, but... if it's two women and one man, Alysia, be careful not to trigger the suspension bridge effect~" When asked by Alysia, Wei Wei finally spoke. Sure enough, this guy is the boss.

"How could that be? My heart has already been filled up by everyone, and there is no room for more people~?"

"..."

Since there were not many new guests, most of them were old guests dressed in ghost costumes and eager to try, so it was soon the turn of Zijing and the other two.

Following Weiwei into the "castle", Zijing glanced at the wall on the side. There was a hideous devil pattern printed on it. When a few people passed by, it suddenly screamed.

Theresa, who was originally full of enthusiasm, suddenly fell down and lay in Zijing's arms, trembling and almost fainted from fright.

Alicia was laughing secretly. Zijing looked at Theresa, who was trembling with fear in her arms but remained silent. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but soon she stood up again with fire in her eyes.

There are two conditions for passing the haunted house. One is to successfully find the correct path in the complex "castle" and head to the exit. The other is that no matter how scared the tourists are, their screams cannot reach a certain decibel value.

I thought Theresa could hold on a little longer with the encouragement of the Golden Hom King, but I didn't expect that she almost failed at the beginning. Her courage was tested at the next scare point. A mechanical ghost suddenly jumped out with a harsh sound effect, which made Theresa almost scream, but she gritted her teeth at the last moment and swallowed the scream.

The next few frightening moments were the tourists arranged by Weiwei. The ghosts they played suddenly jumped out from the corner, especially when a "ghost bride" in a tattered wedding dress appeared silently in the dim corridor. Theresa's hand instantly clenched Zijing's arm, her little face turned red, and she also pinched Zijing red.

Vampires, mummies... almost all kinds of ghosts and monsters have appeared. After one trial after another, Theresa's soul almost flew out. She screamed several times in the middle, but was quickly controlled.

Amethyst looked at the small machine that Vilvi gave to the few people. It recorded the decibel values ​​of the few people. Every time Theresa screamed, she almost touched the red line at the top. Fortunately, she held on.

“Jing, Jing…”

Suddenly, Theresa shook Amethyst's arm tremblingly.

"Ok?"

Amethyst looked at her in confusion.

"A ghost is breathing into my neck...!"

"..."

Zijing helplessly glanced at Alicia who was walking on the other side. The latter had an innocent look on her face, except for a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth that could serve as evidence of a crime.

"It's okay. They are just ghosts played by humans. Just remember this and you won't be scared..."

Zijing comforted them as they walked, and soon the three of them arrived at a new scene—an operating room in a modern hospital.

Why is there an operating room in a castle? Stitches?

Zijing complained in her heart, but she had to admit that the new scene was pretty well arranged.

As soon as you step into this area, the air is filled with the unique smell of hospital disinfectant. Under the dim light, everything looks gloomy and deserted.

Inside the operating room, the walls were painted a cold white, with some medical charts and anatomical diagrams hung on them, with very realistic details. The shadowless lamp cast a pale light, reflecting the metal instruments, reflecting the cold light. The operating table was covered with a disposable blue sterile cloth, and next to it was a complete set of surgical tools, including scissors, tweezers, and a scalpel that seemed to be stained with blood.

In the corner, a "doctor" ghost in a tattered white coat stood quietly, his face covered by a tattered mask and surgical cap, revealing only a pair of empty eyes. When tourists approached, he would suddenly move, waving the scalpel in his hand in the air and making a creepy laugh.

On the other side of the operating room, a "nurse" ghost was pushing a cart with prosthetic limbs and organ models. Her facial expression was stiff and her eyes were staring straight ahead, as if she was looking for the next target for "surgery." The models on the cart were lifelike enough to be mistaken for real.

There were some fake bloodstains and scattered medical records on the floor, and there was the occasional sound of dripping water and a chainsaw in the distance, creating an atmosphere that made Theresa dare not even breathe.

"…This doesn't need to be decrypted, does it?"

Amethyst asked Alicia in a low voice.

"Of course not. Weiwei said that since it's a haunted house, it should test tourists with pure terror. As for the hidden passage, let me take a look... ah, I found it."

Alicia pushed aside the "doctor" ghost who was still trying his best to scare people, revealing a hole in the wall behind. Inside was a narrow passage. The passage was full of various hands and feet, and no one knew what kind of mechanisms were installed, but every one of them was moving.

"Theresa? Theresa? Wake up!"

Amethyst woke up Theresa, who had fainted in her arms after seeing this horrifying scene. The latter's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Jing... I... Where are we? Is this heaven or hell? It's so dark... It must be hell, right?"

"We are still in the haunted house, and you are not dead yet, so relax..."

“Wow… Jing, I’m so scared. I don’t want to go any further…” Theresa was so frightened that she was about to cry.

"..."

Amethyst glared at Alicia, and the pink-haired girl knocked on the wall. Soon, a piece of ground opposite the terrifying passage in front of them opened up, and the golden model of King Hoom slowly rose from it.
