Chapter 38: Scared the hell out of me!

Hu Pang's office is located in the school building, and the loudest voices in the office can be heard in the classroom next door.

By the end of the night, the story had spread to all the class groups in the South City's seventh grade.

Wang Luan: It's too late! The moment Ding Xiao's mom rushes up, the bully reacts quickly! He stepped forward! He stepped in front of Yu Fan, slapped away the woman's bag, and said in a low voice, "My classmate, you don't want to move."]]

[Zhang Xianjing: And then?]

Wang Luan: Then Ding Xiao's mom challenged the school bully, Yu Fan, who hadn't said anything, suddenly stood up excitedly! With one hand pointing at Chen Jingshen, and the other at Ding Xiao's fucking nose, Yu Fan said in a domineering and arrogant manner - "He is my bottom line, you can scold me, but you can't scold my classmate. My deskmate is the best in the world, just better than your son."]]

[-: Fuck off. Who made up that story?]

Yu Fan sat in front of the table, rubbing her hair as she replied. Because she poked too hard, her cell phone screen thumped pitifully.

Wang Luan: That's right. Class 12, next to Hu Pang's office, heard it themselves, and then that group told Class 9, who told Class 8, and Zuo Kuan told me.]

[Zuo Kuan: So is this really true or not? I asked you this afternoon and you didn't say anything.]

Isn't that bullshit?

Can he say something like, "You can yell at me, but you can't yell at my classmates"?

[ -: Withdrew from the group.]

Wang Luan: No, no, no, no, no. Let's talk about going out tomorrow.

Zhang Xianjing: The school bully hasn't even bubbled yet, so what's there to discuss?

Wang Luan: I've asked in a private chat, and the schoolteacher said he's okay with whatever we're arranging.

Yu Fan leaned back with his towel slung over his shoulder and watched as they feverishly discussed tomorrow's schedule.

The phone buzzed and vibrated.

At nine o'clock, Chen Jingshen sent the video on time.

Yu Fan stares at the exposed hand on the preview screen for a few seconds, typing - [Don't post it again, not learning].

After typing, his finger wandered to the send button and drifted for two minutes.

While hesitating, two more voices were sent across the room.

"The questions I've been picking lately are a little harder, so try to keep up. Yu Fan, for the next monthly exam, let's rush for the top six hundred in the grade."

Who wants to rush the top 600 in their grade.

Who's "we" with you?

Yu Fan clicks on the next entry.

"I bought Dumb and Dumber Flyers Evolution and I'll bring it to you tomorrow?"

"......"

Going out and bringing a tutor?

"Roll." Yu Fan hit the talk button, "You bring it in and try it, I'll make you sit on the curb by yourself and finish it."

-

Yu Fan woke up the next day and went to see the itinerary they had discussed last night.

Zuo Kuan and Zhang Xianjing both said they wanted to come. They chatted for hundreds of messages and finally decided to go to a newly opened theme room with a very good reputation before going to dinner together.

The meeting place was set at that themed chamber.

Because of that voice, Yu Fan's first reaction when he saw Chen Jingshen was to see if he had any suspicious items in his hand.

Luckily, both hands are empty.

"Sorry, traffic jam." Chen Jingshen said.

"It's fine, we originally made an appointment for three o'clock, it's not even time yet." Wang Luan immediately said, "Come on, Schoolboy, see what theme you want to play? The new themes here are quite famous."

Yu Fan leaned back against the counter to play Snake with a lack of interest, feeling the faint minty smell getting closer to him.

Chen Jingshen wore a white t-shirt and black pants today, and the overalls stretched his legs out. Usually at school everyone wears loose school uniforms so you can't see it, the teenager's shoulders are thin but broad, he stood there, next to Zuo Kuan and Wang Luan all look shorter by a cut.

Chen Jingshen naturally walked over to Yu Fan and stood beside him, scanning the introduction to the secret room in Wang Luan's hand, "I'll do it."

Wang Luan looked at Yu Fan again, who didn't even raise his head: "Whatever."

He's not interested in them at all.

"Then play the most exciting one!" Zhang Xianjing pointed to the poster on the wall that occupied the C-suite, "That's it!"

Yu Fan took a look. In the center of the poster was an eerie woman draped in a red cover sitting on a wedding bed, with a few large oozing red letters written next to it - Ghosts Getting Married.

The boss snapped his fingers, "Good eye ah beautiful, this is our most horrible theme, heavy fear chase this, also happens to be a five-person secret room! None of those who came to explore the store are not afraid, absolutely exciting and fun!"

Wang Luan: "No, in fact, I think the fairy tale cozy deciphering to the secret room next to it is quite good, 'lost in the forest can not find the sleeping beauty of the prince what to do, all depends on us to adventure to break the situation...'... ..."

"Find it yourself for the Prince of Waste." Zhang Xianjing rolled his eyes, "Tell you what, the two of them are casual, so the three of us vote, and now it counts 1 to 1. Zuo Kuan, what do you say? Which one do you want to play?"

Wang Luan thought it was funny that in their first year of high school, they secretly used the classroom computer to play Midnight Bell, and Zuo Kuan stood outside the window and watched it, screaming louder than he did. For a long time after they watched it, the two of them were bonded, going to the bathroom together every time, sometimes even dragging Yu Fan along with them--

"You don't have to ask." Zuo Kuan walked over to the poster, tapped the copy of Ghosts Getting Married, wiped his thumb on his nose, looked at Zhang Xianjing and said, "Fairytales are for wimpy dogs, but real men definitely play the fiercest ones. Of course I'll go with you."

Wang Luan: "."

The five were then brought to the entrance of the chamber.

The staff asked them to wear blindfolds and go in on each other's shoulders.

Yu Fan was the first to go, and he was led left and right into a room.

After the radio informed them to take off their blindfolds, they realized that they were surrounded by pitch blackness, and that they were the only four people in this old-fashioned house.

"Ahhhhh ！！！！" Zuo Kuan's screams came faintly, sounding quite far away from them, "Help! I can't! Why am I alone - don't you play this music I'm going to faint uh ......"

He was so loud, so loud that the staff outside used the intercom to inform them, "So what, we have a guy who's going to fall out in this segment, do you guys need to switch roles?"

Wang Luan put his hand to his mouth and responded loudly, "Zuo Kuan -- it's not that brothers won't help you -- it's really that brothers are also afraid -- -"

"We're not switching," Zhang Xianjing replied as he picked up his walkie-talkie, "that guy just likes to act tough, big brother you guys make it hard to scare him."

Smacking of noise, Yu Fan rolled his eyes and was just about to tell him to go over when the corner of his coat was suddenly tugged by the person behind him.

Chen Jingshen was standing in the dark, and when Yu Fan turned around, he could only see his blurred outline.

"Yu Fan." Chen Jingshen looked at him, "I'm scared too."

"?"

Yu Fan frowns, "Scared why didn't you just say so?"

Chen Jingshen said, "Don't want to lose face in front of you."

"...... You're even more humiliated now."

"It can't be helped," Chen Jingshen said without a ripple as she gripped the corner of his coat, "It's horrible."

"......"

Zuo Kuan screams again from outside.

Yu Fan looked at the person behind him with a look of waste for a few seconds before remembering that Chen Jingshen probably wouldn't be able to pick it up in this setting.

"Goons." He retraced his steps and said in a single word.

Chen Jingshen Hmmm, "I am."

"......"

Zhang Xianjing Just as Zhang Xianjing was about to ask what you two were muttering about, the door was kicked open with a snap by the NPC in the chamber.

The man in the ancient Xin Lang costume with a face full of blue and white and a mouth full of red blood stumbles in and tries to dislike every player's face, "She's trying to kill me! She's trying to kill me-"

Yu Fan felt the corner of his shirt being pulled tighter, and Chen Jingshen seemed to be backing away in fear.

"This NPC is shorter than you what are you afraid of?" Yu Fan subconsciously put his hand back and tapped Chen Jingshen's wrist, signaling him to move his hand away.

The clothes were loose.

Yu Fan was just about to withdraw his hand when the hand behind him suddenly followed his fingers upwards and abruptly gripped him.

Chen Jingshen's palms were slightly cold and his grip was a little tight.

The npc hears him and rushes to Yu Fan's face screaming, "You be polite-ah, she's trying to kill me!"

Yu Fan looked at the ghostly face expressionlessly, his fingers that were being held tingling a bit. He shook Chen Jingshen's hand, "Chen Jingshen, step back."

Chen Jingshen also shook his hand, "I can't back off, I don't dare open my eyes."

"......"

For a moment, Yu Fan suspected that Chen Jingshen was pretending.

Who the hell would be so afraid of that as to hold someone's hand?

But as soon as the npc left, the interior lights came on.

Wang Luan hugged Zhang Xianjing, his face was buried in her shoulder.

Wang Luan : "Wooooooooo ......"

Yu Fan: "......"

He shook Chen Jingshen's hand and said coldly, "Loosen up, don't hold on so tightly."

Zuo Kuan met up with them halfway through the secret room.

His face was white with fear, and he still felt scared when he hugged Wang Luan's arm, so he turned back to his other buddy and asked, "Yu Fan, why don't we hold hands too?"

Yu Fan yanked Chen Jingshen, carrying the lamp in his other hand, the light traveling from bottom to top, reflecting his face with ferocity, "Get out."

Zuo Kuan: "."

The npc came back to the control room panting, lifted up the "spell" on his face, and it was the boss who had just received them outside.

The boss is watching the surveillance and explaining to the staff who will be going out to scare people later-

"They're about to do a one-line mission, here, analyze it with you." He pointed to the screen and said, "This female, and this fierce-looking don't need to scare, these two are bold. Mainly scare the remaining three ...... especially this tallest one, he has been hiding behind another male, I didn't scare much, a moment to make an effort, scare him to death!"

Single Line Quest. Requires each player to walk alone to the end of the hallway to pick up an item, while the rest of the players have to wait inside the house.

Everyone else is done, even Zuo Kuan has stumbled back, and there's only one last coward left-

Chen Jingshen stood at the door and suddenly turned around and asked, "If I can't come back, will you go out and look for me?"

Yu Fan: "No."

"Can you keep talking to me? I get scared when I can't hear my voice."

"Can't."

"Will you stand at the door and wait for me?"

"You're playing a fucking game, not going to war." Yu Fan couldn't stand it anymore, "Are you going or not? If not, I'll kick your ass!"

Chen Jingshen went.

The boss stared at the monitor and excitedly called out to the staff, "Quickly, quickly, quickly! Scare him! Scare him back once first and force him to make another trip!"

Chen Jingshen was just about to run into the quest props when the female ghost NPC in bridal wear violently appeared, spider-like and frantically crawling towards him, screaming miserably, "Ya--"

The person in front of me didn't respond.

The female ghost NPC thought she hadn't played well, so she screamed again, "Yikes-"

The boy picked up the object and gave her a cold look.

Then turned and walked away.

Looking down at the floor as she walked, her steps turned around her overalls.

Female ghost npc: "?"

Boss: "????"

Walking around the corner, Chen Jingshen suddenly turned around, "Hello, can I hear you again?"

Female ghost npc: "...... yikes--"

Room.

Zuo Kuan covered his ears in pain, "Why the fuck are you screaming again?"

"Why isn't the schoolteacher back yet? There's still no movement at all." Zhang Xianjing said, "It can't be true that he's been taken away."

Yu Fan stood at the door and waited for a few more seconds, tsked impatiently, "I'll go find ......"

Da-da-da-da.

Sharp footsteps came from the end of the hallway.

Yu Fan called out tentatively, "Chen Jingshen?"

"It's me."

On the other side of the corridor, Chen Jingshen ran back, Yu Fan stood in the doorway and subconsciously extended his hand towards him.

Chen Jingshen jumped over and hugged him. Just like when he had just finished running 3,000 meters.

Yu Fan froze slightly, and before he could react he had already been released.

Zuo Kuan : "Schoolboy, did that woman jump on you too? Are you scared?"

Chen Jingshen puts his things on the table, sweeps him lightly, and says, "Uh-huh. Scared me to death."

Boss who watched the whole thing on surveillance: "？？？？"

Scared you to death? Really?

I've only seen girls pretending to be afraid of their boyfriends, but what are you pretending to be, a man? You don't want to jump on that pretty girl, why do you jump on a guy?

Yu Fan hadn't figured it out either.

He was extraordinarily tired from this secret room game, holding a goon in his hand, and those NPCs kept disliking his face in defiance.

For the final task, you need to team up in pairs to take turns to overpower the female ghost, with only one person being able to stay in the room and wait for a lie-in.

That spot ended up going to Zuo Kuan.

Yu Fan took Chen Jingshen to the "ancestral hall" to "perform magic" for the female ghost.

On the road, the lights around the area brightened up a little, so at least one could see the faces of their teammates.

In the narrow man-made alley, Yu Fan turned his head to look at Chen Jingshen, who still had his usual paralyzed face.

He suddenly wondered what Chen Jingshen's expression was when he was frightened.

After a few seconds, Yu Fan withdrew his gaze and shook Chen Jingshen's hand, "There's no one here, let go, my palms are sweating."

Chen Jingshen glanced at him and let go.

When turning the corner, Yu Fan slowed down his pace a bit and intentionally lagged behind Chen Jingshen.

Then reach out and poke Chen Jingshen in the waist--

Almost at the same time, the scream of the "female ghost" suddenly rang out. Yu Fan froze for a moment, looking at the "female ghost" rushing towards them in front of him, and thought to himself...

He didn't have time to think.

Before the lights dimmed, he saw Chen Jingshen turn around.

Yu Fan was just about to grab his hand and run, when the next moment, his feet suddenly took off--

He's, uh, been, uh, picked up, uh, up.

Or one of those fishy popliteal hold your back, princess hugs.

Yu Fan was blinded for a moment and shouted several times, "Chen Jingshen!

Chen Jingshen didn't respond, he ran fast and the road was narrow. Yu Fan's pile of curses had already piled up into a mountain in his mouth, and the bumps and desire for survival made him subconsciously turn around and hook Chen Jingshen's neck.

He glanced back and went head to head with the female ghost NPC for a few seconds.

While suspended, one's psyche becomes a bit more fragile than usual.

So he hooked Chen Jingshen's neck hard: "Run faster, haven't you eaten? Wait where are you running this is not the way back to the room-"

Yu Fan looked forward and found a red, curtained sedan chair set up in the courtyard scene in front of him.

Yu Fan thought, "No way? No idiot would dare to enter such a place, right? Wouldn't they just stay inside and wait for someone to come and scare them?

The next moment, Yu Fan was carried in.

Yu Fan: "......"

The space in the sedan chair was even narrower than he had expected.

A 185 boy sitting in it with a 180 boy in his arms would barely have any extra room.

Yu Fan was half curled up, his shoes on the side of the sedan chair, his whole back pressed against the back.

Yu Fan took a breath and gritted his teeth, "Chen Jingshen, you--"

"A ghost touched me just now." Chen Jingshen's voice was slightly hoarse as he asked, "You weren't scared, were you."

"......" Yu Fan was dumbfounded.

No, it's just a little poke. It's not so scary, is it?

Yu Fan was just about to say something when the sedan chair was gently shaken, followed closely by the body of the sedan chair being scratched hard with fingernails outside.

All he could do was stay shut up and play along with the people outside.

Just in case the NPCs rushed in to scare people, Yu Fan kept staring at the sedan chair curtains.

After a moment, he frowned and looked up as if he felt something.

The sedan chair was so dark that you could hardly see anything.

Except for the eerie dark red sedan chair curtains reflected by the light, and Chen Jingshen's pair of clear black eyes.

Chen Jingshen had one hand on his knee and the other against his back, separating him from the sedan chair, watching him in the darkness in silence.

After running for a while, Chen Jingshen's breath was a bit heavy, and it drifted hotly to the tip of Yu Fan's ear. Their bodies were very close together, and he could feel Chen Jingshen's every breath.

Yu Fan felt herself enveloped in a minty scent.

Heart beating so fast, Yu Fan unconsciously curled his fingers, "Look at the palanquin curtains, they're definitely rushing in."

"I don't dare to look." Chen Jingshen said.

"...... Who told you stupid ass to run here?"

Chen Jingshen pondered, "I'm too scared."

There was another movement outside. Yu Fan stiffly cocks his head to the side and continues to stare at the sedan chair curtains.

After a few seconds, he couldn't bear to raise his hand, found Chen Jingshen's eyes in the dark, and covered them with a gulp: "Don't look at me."

Chen Jingshen let out a low hmmm, his breath brushing against the side of his hand.

Yu Fan's entire skin numbed for a moment, and his neck rolled up to the base of his ears. He gritted his teeth for a moment, and his other hand also lifted up, pinching Chen Jingshen's nose: "...... Don't breathe either."

Chen Jingshen : "......"
