“What the fuck is going on here? Are we in a ghost domain ?”
Tang Mianmian’s voice was filled with despair.
Right now, Xiao Tangqiu felt that his lungs were burning, which was probably the consequence of breathing too hard. He glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, only to find that the boy and the skull with the axe had disappeared since God knows when.
Did the boy fall behind?
“Wait a minute! Stop!”
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly stopped and pulled Tang Mianmian.
Tang Mianmian was immediately very nervous, “What’s the matter? What’s wrong?”
“Something’s not right…” Xiao Tangqiu stood still and did his best to calm his breathing, trying to observe the movements around him. However, he could only hear the shortness of breath between him and Tang Mianmian. Aside from that, there was only dead silence.
“No footsteps…”
Tang Mianmian finally reacted, “Fuck! You’re right ah! Why aren’t there any footsteps? I don’t hear anyone else either!” The passage in the haunted house was very narrow, and the sounds from more than ten meters away could clearly be heard. There was no reason that they wouldn’t hear anyone else..
Xiao Tangqiu looked around with his flashlight. There was nothing special about the place they were standing at. It was as old and shabby as all other places and filled with a sense of decrepitude. Dust and broken props was all around.
“The skull!”
Tang Mianmian suddenly discovered something and shouted, pointing to the corner ahead.
Xiao Tangqiu looked in that direction and sure enough, the front corner seemed very familiar – skull, plastic eyeballs, blunt red axe, broken mirror… Wasn’t this the place they had just passed?
But from the moment they entered the haunted house there was only one road in front of them and there weren’t any forks. How did they get back here?
“This is a ghost domain! This must be a ghost domain!” Tang Mianmian spoke with conviction.
Xiao Tangqiu looked ahead. The four people who had been running in front of them had also disappeared. He didn’t know whether they had just lost them or if they had lost them from the very start.
“Wait a minute! There’s something in the mirror!” He suddenly discovered something.
“Aren’t these the other four people who came in with us?” Tang Mianmian seemed to recognize them. “How did they get into the mirror? What about that coward?”
The figures of the four people quickly flashed across the mirror and then disappeared.

“Have they all been sucked into this mirror?” Tang Mianmian frowned and said, “Then how do we save them? Smash this mirror? But this mirror was broken to begin with… “
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered something. He took out his own nuclear powered flashlight and looked in the mirror.
All of a sudden, three more figures suddenly appeared in the mirror. It was Xiao Tangqiu, Tang Mianmian and the boy. They too quickly ran past the mirror.
“Isn’t this us?” Tang Mianmian’s eyes widened in surprise. “What’s happening? Why are we in the mirror as well?”
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t say anything because he wasn’t sure. He silently picked up the flashlight and looked into the mirror again. The figures of the four people ran past the mirror again in horror. He picked up his flashlight and looked into the mirror again. Sure enough, the man who ran through the mirror turned into the figure of Tang Mianmian and the boy.
At this point, Tang Mianmian finally discovered that something was wrong. He frowned, “What’s happening? Don’t tell me… “
Tang Mianmian hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly a burst of footsteps sounded from the front of them and a person appeared before them.
Xiao Tangqiu immediately became alarmed, but when the man approached, he realized that it was the cowardly handsome boy. The boy ran towards them trembling uncontrollably. “Why did you run so fast? I thought I fell behind! You almost scared me to death! Why didn’t you wait for me?!”
Tang Mianmian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Phew, so it’s you! I thought it was… “
“Who did you think it was?” The boy walked towards them with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Tangqiu was very alert. He quickly took out his crossbow and pointed it at the boy. “Don’t move!”
The boy jumped in fright. “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Tangqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. “Weren’t you running behind us? How did you get in front of us?”
Tang Mianmian also reacted at once, “Yes! You were clearly behind us, how can you be in front of us?”
Although they weren’t able to figure out their direction in the haunted house, they had been moving forwards and the boy had obviously been following them. How could he appear in front of them?
The boy scratched his head. “I don’t know ah. I keep running forward. I was wondering why this haunted house is so big that I can’t make it to the end even though I’m running in the right direction! I’ve been running in this direction! But how did you guys get here? Did you guys turn back?”

Xiao Tangqiu looked at the boy quietly, but he couldn’t see any flaw in the other party from his eyes to his facial expression. At this moment, he suddenly had a brainwave and frowned as he asked, “What’s your girlfriend’s name?”
The boy suddenly paused for a moment. After a while, he asked blankly. “Girlfriend? I don’t have a girlfriend yet!”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. Before he could react, Tang Mianmian shouted, “You’re really a fake!”
The boy suddenly froze. “Fake? What do you mean by fake?”
“You obviously have a girlfriend! Why did you say that you don’t have one? You’re clearly a fake!” Tang Mianmian grabbed Xiao Tangqiu’s hand and turned to run in the opposite direction.
“Wait! Wait for me!” The boy cried hastily.
Naturally, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian ignored him. They turned around and dashed away.
The two men ran in the dark haunted house, their flashlights casting a dim light on the walls. Only their hurried footsteps could be heard in the dark.
Xiao Tangqiu had no idea where they were running to or where they should run to. He could only run under Tang Mianmian’s continuous dragging.
As he was running, he suddenly realized that his and Tang Mianmian’s footsteps had disappeared God knows when!
Xiao Tangqiu was shocked and immediately wanted to tell Tang Mianmian about it. However, when he tried to speak, he found that his voice had also disappeared.
He desperately tried to shout, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make a sound, as if someone had taken away his voice.
It was as if all the sounds in this world had disappeared.
Tang Mianmian, who was in front of him, didn’t seem to find any abnormalities. He was still pulling Xiao Tangqiu and running desperately.
Xiao Tangqiu tried to push Tang Mianmian’s hand away in order to attract his attention, but after struggling several times, he still failed to break free. Tang Mianmian had huge strength to begin with, but now it seemed like he was much stronger.
Tang Mianmian didn’t seem to sense Xiao Tangqiu’s struggle at all. He was still holding onto his wrist as tight as iron shackles.
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t scream and couldn’t shake him off. He grew more and more anxious. At last, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength, finally succeeding in throwing his hand off.
Right when Xiao Tangqiu shook off Tang Mianmian’s hand, he instantly felt a shrill wind blowing into his ears.
At this moment, he could only hear the high-pitched whoosh of the wind as if it was the only thing in the world.
But after the wind disappeared, he found that he could finally hear normally again!
He could finally hear sounds again!
However, before Xiao Tangqiu could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly found that Tang Mianmian, who was in front of him, had gone missing God knows when and there was no one around.
Where was Tang Mianmian? Where did Tang Mianmian go?
He anxiously searched for Tang Mianmian, but at this moment, suddenly a pitter-patter of footsteps came from behind him. At first, he thought that it was Tang Mianmian and quickly turned around, crying out uneasily, “Tang Mianmian?”
But soon, he found that it wasn’t Tang Mianmian because there was more than one set of footsteps. In fact, there were several.
When those people approached, Xiao Tangqiu discovered that it was the other group of people, that is, the four players who had walked in front of them at the beginning… No, it seemed that there was one of them missing.
One person was missing, so now there were only three people left. Besides that, they looked rather flustered. Some had dirty and torn clothes while some were covered with wounds and blood all over their faces. When they saw Xiao Tangqiu, they immediately showed surprise, “You’re still alive? Where are the others? “
Xiao Tangqiu was secretly alert inside but he didn’t appear so on the surface. “Where’s the other person?”
“He… he… fell behind.” The girl’s eyes were red and she shook as she spoke, “It’s so scary. We were walking just now when we suddenly met a skeleton with an axe! At first we thought it was a staff member, but it suddenly swung its axe and chopped at Da Yong. Da Yong subconsciously blocked it with his hand… Then his hand was cut off…”
“That was a real axe!”
“We were scared and turned to run… We ran and ran and realized that Da Yong was missing… And then we met you…”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly, “Missing?”
“Yes, he disappeared when we were running. What’s going to happen to him?” The girl asked Xiao Tangqiu with reddish eyes. “He will be fine, right?” The result of disappearing in this strange place was naturally self-evident, so she had only asked Xiao Tangqiu to seek comfort and assurance.
Xiao Tangqiu said lightly, “I don’t know.”
