In the corner, the NPC who had just pulled up his pants looked at Xu Zhengyang pitifully.
Scary? Who was the scariest one here?!
No good person would strip someoneâs pants off! This job was too dangerous.
He would not come again even if they offered him a monthly salary of 100,000 yuanâ¦
Xu Zhengyang held Xu Jiaojiao tightly like a priceless treasure. The problem was⦠Xu Jiaojiao was being suffocated.
âBrother⦠Calm down, calm down. If you donât let go, Iâm going to suffocate.â âAll? Oh!!â Xu Zhengyang finally realized that something was wrong. He gently released Xu Jiaojiao and looked at her in embarrassment.
âBrother, whatâs the problem with you now?â
âTm fine.â Speaking of this, a ball of anger burned from the bottom of Xu Zhengyangâs heart. âI just encountered a ghost. It almost scared me to death! You donât know how terrifying it wasâ¦â
Xu Zhengyang was about to give Xu Jiao jiao a long speech about his tragic and heroic experience when Xu Jiaojiao interrupted him.
âBrother, take a closer look. Are you talking about him?â Xu Jiaojiao pointed at the NPC in the corner.
Xu Zhengyang blinked. Then, his gaze fell on the NPC in the corner. The latter felt a chill down his spine. His pants were in danger!
This was the only thought in the NPCâs mind. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, Xu Zhengyang was much calmer this time. Although he was a little afraid when he first saw the NPC, upon taking a closer lookâ¦
After the chaotic battle just now, half of the NPCâs wig had been torn off. His mask was missing and all that remained was his strange makeup.
Still, there was no mistaking his Adamâs apple.
Damn it!
The ghost that he had been afraid of for so long⦠was just a human in disguise.
âYou little⦠Why are you pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight?! Are you crazy?!â Xu Zhengyang was filled with righteous indignation. His heroic image had completely collapsed because of this escape room.
âListen to yourself!â The NPC was dumbfounded. âYouâre here for an escape room! Isnât this my job? Youâre making it sound like I shouldnât have tried to scare you. Will you pay me if my salary gets deducted?!â
âUhâ¦â Xu Zhengyang was speechless. It seemed like this really was his fault. He even scolded an NPC for no reason like a Karen!
While Xu Zhengyang was still repenting inwardly, Xu Jiao jiao had already apologized on his behalf.
Since she was so sincere, the NPC forgave them.
âItâs fine, whatever. Itâs normal to meet customers who are afraid of ghosts in my line of work. Iâve seen even more exaggerated folks.â
Just then, Xu Zhengyang walked over. When he saw Xu Zhengyang, the NPC instinctively cowered in fear.
âDonât be afraid, donât be afraid⦠1 just want to apologize. What happened just now was my fault. Iâll treat you to a meal if you want,â Xu Zhengyang explained.
After some internal struggle, Xu Zhengyang had already walked out of his haze. He could not let his sister settle this matter for him, he thought. He should settle the matter himself.
Seeing that Xu Zhengyang had returned to normal, the NPCâs anxious heart relaxed. âItâs fine. I forgive you.â
Qi Shenbai, who had been silent all this while, walked over. His gaze was fixed on Xu Jiaojiaoâs arm because Xu Zhengyang was hugging her tightly.
Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to say something to Xu Jiao jiao, he suddenly felt his body being lifted into the air. He turned around and saw that the culprit was Qi Shenbai.
âWhat are you doing?!â Xu Zhengyang looked at Qi Shenbai in confusion.
Qi Shenbai said indifferently, âYour legs are probably numb after squatting for so long. Go and play somewhere else.â
Xu Zhengyang was speechless. It was such a brainless excuse. Anyone could tell that Qi Shenbai thought he was being too clingy!
Qi Shenbai put him down and ignored him. He gently pulled up Xu Jiaojiao, who was still squatting on the ground. âHow are your legs? Are they numb?â âNo.â Xu Jiaojiao smiled, signaling Qi Shenbai to relax.
She had already been squatting for a period of time. If she squatted for another minute or two, she would probably really be numb.
When Xu Zhengyang saw this, he gritted his teeth.
Hmph!
Those two had no respect for single people at all! Showing off their love everywhereâ¦
âAre we still playing?â Xu Zhengyang could not help but ask.
âOf course, why not?â Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Zhengyang, who was pretending to be angry, and found it funny.
After this incident, the NPCs at the escape room would never work there again.
The three of them quickly tidied themselves up and opened the door to the third stage.
The third stage was the most difficult. It was cold, and the surroundings were dark. In a way, it was very immersive.
Xu Zhengyangâs fear, which he had finally overcome with great difficulty, once again took over. He grabbed Xu Jiaojiaoâs arm tightly, afraid that he would get lost.
If Su Luo was here, he would not act so embarrassingly. He could not afford to ruin the image of a big strong man that he had painstakingly created in front of Su Luo!
Right now, though, he showed his true colors.. After all, why would he put on airs in front of his own sister?
