System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 12: First Experience of the Fantasy Haunted House

Lu Nanyin twisted her fingers together, cold sweat broke out on her face, and she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chu Lingxian gently touched Lu Nanyin's bracelet with her own bracelet, and a system panel appeared in front of her. She saw the message on it, "You have added Lin Yuan as an emergency contact, and you can send each other messages, photos, audio, video and other information."

"Okay, if you have any news in the future, just send it to me." Chu Lingxian took two steps back, checked his bracelet and said.

Lu Nanyin replied in a low voice: "Oh, okay. So now...what should we do?"

"Practice your courage first and relax a little. It will be fine soon." Chu Lingxian pulled Lu Nanyin into the consciousness space training place.

In front of the two of them was a haunted house. Lu Nanyin turned around and wanted to leave, but Chu Lingxian grabbed her and said, "Don't be afraid. This is all an illusion. It's the fear in your heart. You must go in from here and come out from the other side alone. The illusion will disappear when you can adapt to this environment. Come on, I'll wait for you on the other side."

Then, Chu Lingxian disappeared from the spot and hid his figure.

Lu Nanyin watched her disappear, and her heart was instantly filled with panic. She felt as if her legs and feet weighed a thousand pounds and she could not move. Her body was shaking and cold sweat was pouring down her face. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she couldn't let them fall. She looked so pitiful.

Looking at the haunted house in front of her, Lu Nanyin clenched her fists and prepared herself mentally for a long time, "I can do it, I can do it, work hard, I can..." Finally, she took the first step.

Lu Nanyin moved to the door step by step, and saw that the door was ajar. She carefully stretched out her index finger and pushed the door. The door creaked and the gap became bigger.

Lu Nanyin took a few deep breaths and tried to push the door again when a pale hand stretched out from the gap, grabbed the door panel, and made a "bang" sound.

“Ah—!!1”

Lu Nanyin collapsed to the ground in fear. When she looked up, she met a pair of red eyes. Those eyes were full of resentment and stared at her.

Lu Nanyin quickly looked away.

Lu Nanyin sat on the ground for a long time. When she looked towards the gate again, there was nothing there. Everything that happened just seemed to be just a momentary dizziness. The surroundings were terribly quiet. There was no sound at all. She couldn't even feel her own breathing or heartbeat.

Lu Nanyin held onto the wall and stood up with difficulty. She mustered up her courage, closed her eyes, and kicked the door open.

There were also stone walls inside, with torches lit on both sides and dim light.

Lu Nanyin stepped over the threshold, held onto the wall and slowly moved inside. After walking a distance, she suddenly heard a "bang" sound from behind. Lu Nanyin shivered and looked back, and saw that the door was closed.

He turned around again and continued walking forward.

After walking a few steps, I felt something on the wall. I turned my head stiffly and said, "Ah--!!!"

It was a corpse. Lu Nanyin jumped to the other side in fear and leaned against the wall, holding her heart. She felt her back hit something and turned her head mechanically, "Ah--!! Help, why are there so many!"

Lu Nanyin didn't dare to stay here any longer, and ran towards the exit without stopping. After running a few steps, she found that there was a dead end in front of her. Lu Nanyin slammed the door and burst into tears, "Chu Lingxian, let me out, wuwu, let me out, ah - I want to go out..."

Chu Lingxian looked at this scene, his eyes darkened, and he sighed helplessly. What should I do if I can't carry him?

He showed up and patted Lu Nanyin's shoulder. Unexpectedly, she cried even harder, "Ah - don't grab me, don't grab me, I'm not delicious..."

Who wants to eat you? Chu Lingxian forced her to turn around, "Look carefully, it's me."

Lu Nanyin reacted and hugged her, "There's a dead body over there, the kind with bones, it's so scary!"

Chu Lingxian had a calm and somewhat speechless expression. "It's just a skeleton of a sentence. It's not that serious. Let's go, get out."

Then, with a wave of her hand, the door in front of them opened. Lu Nanyin pulled her away in a hurry, looking at the surroundings that were exactly the same as the beginning, "Is this the end? Isn't this the same as the entrance?"

"Is there a possibility that this is the entrance? You just ran in the wrong direction." Chu Lingxian reminded her.

Lu Nanyin: ...Just know it, don’t say it out loud. It’s so embarrassing, haha.

There was a flash of light in front of their eyes, and the two saw the familiar passage again. Lu Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Lingxian raised his hand and drew a line in the air. The space was split and a two-meter-high vortex appeared in front of him.

Lu Nanyin stared blankly until her hands felt cold. Chu Lingxian took her hand and walked into the vortex.

After walking out of the vortex, the two returned to the space under the opened floor. Just as Lu Nanyin was about to take a closer look, she felt her hand being pinched.

Turning to look at Chu Lingxian, she found that her face was paler and she looked weak. Lu Nanyin hurriedly supported her and sat down beside her, leaning against the wall.

"Chu Ling..." Lu Nanyin looked at the face very close to her, her eyes widened, and the words got stuck in her throat.

Chu Lingxian moved a little closer, and seeing her face getting closer, Lu Nanyin felt like her heart was about to jump out.

"I told you, don't say your real name, just call me by my name in private." Chu Lingxian turned his face and spoke in her ear.

"...Oh, okay...I will definitely not do that again... in the future."

Chu Lingxian used the space props, which consumed a lot of energy, and he was extremely weak at the moment. He leaned on Lu Nanyin's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Nanyin didn't dare to disturb her and could only sit motionless in the corner and let her lean on her.

There were several roars from the monster above her head, but Lu Nanyin was not so scared anymore. It seemed that as long as she was by her side, she would feel particularly safe. Thinking of this, she actually fell asleep leaning against the wall.

When it was daybreak outside, Lu Nanyin heard someone calling her. She opened her eyes and saw Chu Lingxian who had recovered. She smiled and said, "Good morning."

Chu Lingxian was stunned for a moment and replied, "Good morning." Then he looked at her with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Nanyin was puzzled. What was that look?

Chu Lingxian pursed her lips and said, "You... are really careless. You slept so soundly that I called you for a long time but you didn't wake up."

Lu Nanyin touched her nose a little guilty and laughed twice, "With you here, what am I afraid of? You are so powerful."

"I'm not as good as you. What if I hadn't found you last night?"

Lu Nanyin turned her head and looked away without answering the question.

"Let's go up, the monster is gone."

The two walked up the stairs, Chu Lingxian looked at the number of floors in the stairwell and fell into thought.

Lu Nanyin knew she was thinking about something, so she didn't bother her. She looked around bored, and when she looked downstairs, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Judging from the number of floors in the stairwell, this should be between the second and third floors, but the stairs below have no end in sight, like a bottomless pit. The same is true when looking up.
