"So..." In order to ensure that the previous situation would not happen again, Sean walked in the middle of the team at this time, "Have you ever encountered a strange guy in the garden maze?"
Moonlight nodded: "Yes, there is a guy who looks exactly like me, imitating my movements...
“And no matter how much I try, I can’t feel his true identity.
"Once I got up the courage to move on, he disappeared."
Father Taylor turned back: "Me too."
Olivia also encountered the same situation, but she walked forward without hesitation.
The mirror image in the secret garden did not scare her at all.
The only thing that seemed to make her nervous was Sean's safety.
Knowing that his teammates encountered the same situation, Sean was able to confirm:
"What happens in the garden maze is a test of the strength of the soul."
Even if the nerves are as strong as Sean's, he still needs to stabilize his mood again and again when faced with such a strange situation...
Not to mention those Jack-level explorers, or even ordinary people.
I'm afraid a considerable number of people will get lost in that garden.
As they walked towards the building hidden by the black woods, the night fog that had temporarily dissipated on the hills enveloped the surroundings again.
Sean and his party seemed to have sunk into the bitingly cold "water bottom", and their surrounding vision was once again blocked by thick fog.
Different from the tall shrubs that were neatly trimmed before, the surrounding trees were soaked in thick fog.
From a distance, it seems like countless giants are standing quietly in this valley. Through the night fog, only their pairs of thick legs that penetrate into the earth can be seen...
In the distance, you could see the light of fire swaying in front of you. Moonlight, who was walking at the front, saw the outline of the giant thing ahead and couldn't help but stop in shock.
"Sean!"
It seems to be a pianist's habit to call Sean when faced with unknown situations.
Sean caught up two steps and looked in the direction where Moonlight's finger was trembling slightly——
The torch dyed the fog in front of him yellow, and the firelight with a cold aura illuminated a huge face.
It was the face of a grinning clown.
Father Taylor on the side also saw the giant thing in front of him. He said calmly: "Don't be nervous, it's just a house."
Only then did Moonlight realize that the giant clown lying on the ground was motionless and seemed to be just a dead thing.
However, the pianist is no longer at the forefront.
The quietly burning torch brought a little warmth, baking the clothes that got wet from walking in the fog.
When I got closer, I realized that the giant laughing clown face was just the entrance to the venue.
"This is what we are going to participate in, the next game?" Father Taylor raised the flashlight in his hand, and a spot of light was projected on the clown's weird smile.
It seemed that someone was approaching, and after a slight sound of electricity, the neon light tube above the clown's head lit up:
"Clown's House...?" After reading the flashing text, Moonlight turned her head and said, "It seems that this is a 'haunted house'."
There's always this type of entertainment in amusement parks - people pay to be scared.
But……
This is the haunted house in "Midnight Paradise".
It's hard for Sean to be optimistic.
"The Haunted House is a level-clearing game." Standing near the giant clown's jaw, he felt a pair of huge dark eyes peeking at him above the exaggeratedly smiling mouth in the firelight. "As long as we can get out, we should be able to get something." integral."
Looking back, there seemed to be some noise in the night fog.
Ahead, the Paradise Castle was obviously larger, like a crown on the clown's head.
Sean and his group walked towards the clown's grinning mouth.
What is in the huge mouth is not a door, but a screen-like mirror.
The mirror surface is smooth and clean, truly reflecting the appearance of Sean and his party in the firelight:
A man and woman wearing "The Last Dance" couple masks.
A thin man wearing a "Royal Tuner" mask.
And a bald old man wearing a black priest's robe and a full beard.
Standing in front of the mirror, Sean suddenly said urgently: "Look at the mirror and don't look back!"
She always felt that something was approaching from behind, and she wanted to turn back. After hearing Sean's fierce tone, her neck stiffened, and she forcibly suppressed the urge to turn back. Only a pair of eyes kept darting from the corners of her eyes out of fear. Go: "What's wrong Sean?"
The New Testament reporter didn't reply, but just raised his finger and pointed at the large mirror in front of him——
The night fog caused a layer of moisture to form on the mirror.
Someone, I don’t know, wrote a sentence with his finger on the moisture in the mirror:
Do not look back.
Although he was not sure what the other party's purpose was, Sean had a special attachment to this "admonishment".
After setting foot in New Landal for the first time and experiencing the bewitchment of high-risk spirits, Sean had secretly sworn that once someone advised him not to look back, he would take such advice seriously.
In the mirror, Taylor's limbs were stiff and he looked a little nervous. Moonlight was obviously a little scared again.
"What now?" he asked, staring closely at Sean in the mirror.
The latter just gently raised a finger to his lips.
Then, he pointed slowly and silently behind them as reflected in the mirror...
Moonlight sighed slightly in annoyance, not daring to move or speak anymore.
Through the mirror, they could see countless gray figures walking out of the woods locked in thick fog.
They stood behind Sean and the others, their decayed and broken bodies illuminated by the light of the torches.
The blinding fog obscured their faces.
However, what made Moonlight's breathing quicken was that their chests were obviously cut open, revealing hollow chests with no hearts.
Just like countless lonely peaks, the same dark caves open.
They stopped behind Sean, muttering something in a low voice.
Because the voices were messy and one after another, it took Sean some effort to hear their whispers clearly:
"Find the clown, kill him, and get your freedom!"
"Find the clown, kill him, and exchange for freedom..."
Find the clown, kill him, and get your freedom!
Those things that have lost their heart seem to be whispered in their ears.
Moonlight, whose face was covered in cold sweat, could only close her eyes in order to prevent herself from screaming.
Slowly, the whispers died away.
Hundreds of heartless corpses seemed to retreat into the mist.
Only then did the tense body relax, and Moonlight, who had been holding her breath, was breathing heavily like a rescued drowning person.
Olivia turned her head and observed Moonlight·1902.
She found that although the pianist was frightened, his eyes were shining with excitement...
Before, she didn't quite understand why Yue Guangming, who was mentally sensitive, felt scared easily, but still yearned so much for a career as an explorer...
After seeing the look in his eyes at this moment, Olivia felt like she understood something——
The release after fear is a kind of "enjoyment" for him.
Just like people who pay to be scared.
Fear and excitement seem to be one of the reasons why Moonlight is obsessed with exploring.
In front of him, the mirror parted in the middle, and the door to the haunted house finally opened.
Find the clown, kill him, and get freedom?
Looking at the room where the dim light bulbs gradually lit up, Sean tried to understand the hints given by the deceased just now.
"So, in the haunted house, our task is to find the clown hiding in it and kill him?"
At this moment, the four members of the team calmed down again.
Not only that, the spiritual power level is also in a full state.
Sean raised the flashlight, cast the light into it, and walked into the haunted house with steady breathing.
