After Chu Lingze took off the blindfold, he first looked around. The surrounding area was full of evergreen cypress trees, which were still covered with leaves in winter. With the night wind rustling, it looked a bit gloomy.

"Chu Lingze—don't be afraid... Oh my god! Why is it so dark!"

Xu Xiao's howling came through the forest with the thick leaves. Chu Lingze originally wanted to find the puzzle according to the mission requirements, but after hearing his vague shouts, he decided to meet Xu Xiao first.

Fortunately, the moonlight is bright, the mountain road is not too dark, and there are often safety signs set up by the school in advance around. Chu Lingze followed Xu Xiao's voice and trotted all the way, and soon saw a faint sight through the bushes. silhouette.

"Chu Lingze, are you okay? I, I'll come to you right away!"

Xu Xiao yelled and walked forward cautiously while holding onto the tree trunk. He was afraid that wild boars, tigers, or pythons and lizards would suddenly pop out of this deep mountain and old forest... In fact, he was afraid even if a caterpillar popped out.

"Srust - rustle -"

There was a sudden noise from the bushes behind him, Xu Xiao was shocked all over, biting his lip and turning his head slowly,

"Who, who's there?"

As if aware of his arrival, the swaying bush suddenly returned to calm, but Xu Xiao shuddered, feeling that he was being stared at by a monster lurking in the dark...

"Meow--!"

"Ahh—! Help—Chu Lingze save me—!"

Xu Xiao was so frightened by the black shadow jumping out of the grass like lightning that he fell to the ground, yelling indiscriminately.

Although he is not afraid of ghosts or the dark, he is afraid of all wild creatures.

"call…………"

The animal that jumped out from the bushes made a vicious grunt, Xu Xiao was so frightened that his legs went limp, he simply closed his eyes and tried to pretend to be dead.

How could he be so unlucky?Will the monster that jumped out eat him?Even if you don't eat people, if you bite him, it will still hurt...

Many thoughts flashed through Xu Xiao's little head, and finally he thought of Chu Lingze... Will Chu Lingze also encounter wild beasts?Can he protect himself?

"Meow!"

The "monster" in front of him suddenly barked. Xu Xiao thought it was about to bite his ass, so he quickly covered his ears and closed his eyes—hoping that the monster would be kind enough not to bite his face.

A full five seconds later, the horror and pain imagined did not come, but a trace of fresh flowers and trees was sent into the nostrils by the evening wind, sweet, but very stable.

Xu Xiao opened his eyes cautiously, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Chu Lingze who was standing in front of him, driving away the terrifying "monster" with a branch.

"Chu, Chu Lingze! How did you find me?"

Xu Xiaoxin was overjoyed, and tightly grasped the corner of Chu Lingze's clothes, "Let's run, I met a huge monster, be careful that the beast is going to eat us!"

"It has been driven away by me,"

Chu Lingze threw away the branch in his hand, "It's a wild cat...I see you fell, didn't you break your skin?"

"Ah? Wild, wild cat...haha,"

When Xu Xiao heard that he was scared by a wild cat and sat on the ground, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, patted his pants and changed the subject,

"You, do you smell something?"

"What scent?"

Chu Lingze tilted his head in doubt, Xu Xiao couldn't describe the smell for a while, but when he sniffed hard again, he couldn't smell anything.

"Well, it may be my illusion... Have you found the puzzle yet?"

"No, I want to find you first."

Chu Lingze smiled, and took Xu Xiao's hand, "Let's go find it together."

"I, I originally wanted to find you first, haha, I didn't expect to meet a wild cat, and it took me a while... But I'm not afraid at all, I said I would protect you."

Xu Xiao said bravely.

"I knew,"

Chu Lingze just held his trembling hand tightly, "I'm very scared, that's why I want to find you early so that you can protect me."

"With me here, you don't have to be afraid!"

Xu Xiao clenched his fists firmly, and took out the map given to him by his teachers from his pocket, and followed the instructions on the map to find the puzzle.

"I don't know how my mother and your parents are doing,"

Xu Xiao thought about his mother,

"Your parents are definitely not afraid of this, and neither is my mother. If she wins the haunted house, she probably will demolish the whole haunted house."

"Haunted house?"

Chu Lingze was slightly taken aback. Aren't the four of them scattered all over the forest?

"Here, that's the wooden house. I noticed it during the day, and the arrangement of the teacher's entrance and exit must have been prepared for the evening activities."

Xu Xiao pointed up, and saw a three-story wooden house standing on the hillside in the distance. It was as dark as the back of a night beast, and the cold moonlight reflected on the glass, making it even more eerie and gloomy.

"……No way."

Chu Lingze could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that his parents would never end up in a haunted house.

However, the unlucky Chu Xian is already in the haunted house at this time. Others' task is to navigate the maze in the vast mountains, but he is trying to find a way to unlock it in the cramped secret room. It should not be difficult, but in this kind of In the dark and narrow environment, Chu Xian really couldn't concentrate.

The experience of being imprisoned in a small dark room in his youth flooded into his mind uncontrollably. Even though he has overcome some fears after so many years, the structure of this secret room is too similar to the one he was thrown away when he was 17 years old. The dilapidated wooden house in which he lived.

Bad memories occupied his emotions like a black tide, it took Chu Xian a while to stabilize his mind, but just this made him break out in a cold sweat.

Chu Xian walked to the window in the dark. He wanted to open the window to let the light in, but he didn't expect that the window was locked. This is a fake window that exists only for decoration.

"..."

Chu Xian sighed, took off the scarf around his neck to cover the hickey, wrapped it around his fist, and took two steps back to gather strength.

Although the impact of doing so in school activities is not good, he doesn't want to endure the suffocation without light anymore, and it's just a window, and he will pay the scenic spot later.

Just as he was about to smash the blackout glass on the window with his fist, something hit Chu Xian hard from behind. Chu Xian turned his head impatiently and found that it was a trap used to scare people in the haunted house—a trap hung in mid-air hangman cotton soft doll.

These man-made horror elements couldn't stir up any fluctuations in Chu Xian's eyes at all, and even the ghost spider that started to make ghostly noises and crawl towards him when it sensed people approaching on the ground was lightly kicked away by him.

Chu Xian is now wholeheartedly trying to smash the window to make the room brighter. He gathered up his energy again, and when he was about to hit the glass with a punch, someone suddenly tied his arm tightly from behind, Without allowing him to resist, he was dragged into the room behind him.
