The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 265

Lan Tianyou screamed in such a high-pitched voice that it sounded like a male soprano.

Guan Liangzhe was also frightened by his scream, jumping in circles at the spot and starting to yell as well.

One person screaming "Ahhh!", another person "Awooo!".

In an instant, the entire bathroom was filled with screams, one after another.

Comments:

- Lan Tianyou, stop acting in movies and go sing instead!

- That voice is on par with the one from next door, Ge Dongxuan!

- I was also scared into screaming, but hearing these two yell made me suddenly burst out laughing. What the heck!

- Lan Tianyou's screams crack me up, Guan Liangzhe got so scared he's jumping around screaming hahaha!

- These two are such comedians!

...

After the female ghost had finished scaring them, she got up intending to leave. But from the corner of her eye she caught sight of the person next to her.

Nan Xiangwan had such a curious expression on her face, with a creepy smile.

Female ghost: "......" Nearly scared me!

The female ghost hurriedly slipped away, even closing the door behind her.

The very next second, the lights turned on brightly.

Lan Tianyou was still screaming, bellowing loudly enough to shake the heavens and earth.

Guan Liangzhe on the other hand had stopped, drenched in sweat as he asked: "What happened? What's going on?"

There was a sobbing tone in Lan Tianyou's voice: "She scared me!!!"

Gu Beihuai pushed open the cubicle door and came out, expressionlessly opening the other two cubicles as well.

Lan Tianyou immediately threw himself at Gu Beihuai, bawling.

Gu Beihuai: "......"

Don't hug him!

So then, Lan Tianyou flung himself at Guan Liangzhe next to him instead.

Guan Liangzhe did not push him away, gently patting his back: "There there, it's over now."

Lan Tianyou was truly frightened out of his wits: "She stuck her head out to scare me wuwuwu."

Nan Xiangwan looked at his miserable state and commented: "It's fine, I also stuck my head out to scare her."

Lan Tianyou: "......"

Guan Liangzhe: "???"

Gu Beihuai wanted to laugh when he heard that, but he was the most reliable one there. He immediately started looking for the entrance to the next room.

Nan Xiangwan: "I found a lock in my cubicle."

The few of them tidied themselves up and went over to take a look. Sure enough, there was something different about the place.

Nan Xiangwan had great strength for a girl. She had earlier ripped open the wooden shelf, revealing a locked trapdoor behind it.

Guan Liangzhe: "So this is how we get out of here!"

Lan Tianyou's voice still trembling: "B-But why is there blood?"

As they looked closely, they could clearly see blood seeping out from the cracks of the trapdoor, and obvious drag marks on the ground as well.

Guan Liangzhe was so scared he was dripping sweat: "There won't be a dead body or corpse inside right?"

Lan Tianyou started shaking, burying his head.

Gu Beihuai read out the password: "0215, let's try this."

Earlier, when he had examined the hanged ghost mannequin from all angles, he had found clues and deduced this number password.

Nan Xiangwan quickly input the password.

Click!

It opened!

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou instinctively huddled together, holding their breath in suspense.

Nan Xiangwan on the other hand did not hesitate one bit. She forcefully yanked the door open.

Swish!

A corpse came flushing out along with the bloody water.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Oh my god ahhhh!"

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou clung to each other once more, wailing.

Nan Xiangwan took a closer look. It was a very realistic-looking mannequin.

After being soaked in the blood water for so long, even the details of its pale white skin were crafted.

The camera zoomed in for a close up shot.

The livestream audience were also frightened into leaping up, with bullet screen comments flooding in about the 'high intensity' of things.

The horror effects of this show were definitely top-notch!

Nan Xiangwan shoved it aside, dragging the mannequin corpse out.

Then they saw a pitch-black passage behind it, not knowing where it led to.

Nan Xiangwan: "We're supposed to crawl through it right?"

Gu Beihuai: "Wait, let me examine this drowned mannequin first."

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou continued hugging each other. Both their expressions were particularly agonized, scared to death.

Comments:

- Escape room bugs Nan Wang Bei Di? [word play referencing the Chinese drama "Clone"]

- Awesome! One wants to play with the female ghost, the other won't let any mannequin go.

- The production team arranged for filming late at night, probably wanting to film the whole day. Who knew Gu Beihuai would solve things so quickly, I love this pace!

- Cracked the password in minutes, can you show the thought process?

...

After Gu Beihuai had carefully examined the drowned ghost mannequin, he disappointingly shook his head: "No clues, it should just be used to scare people."

Guan Liangzhe: "It only scared the both of us. You two really have guts, huh."

Nan Xiangwan strode forward with big steps, charging in first: "I'll go in first."

Lan Tianyou: "Wuwuwu I don't dare to crawl!"

Guan Liangzhe: "It's okay, I'm right behind you."

The passage was narrow so they could only enter one by one.

Nan Xiangwan took the lead at the very front. Behind her was the shivering Lan Tianyou, after which came Guan Liangzhe who could pretend to be brave for only a second, and lastly Gu Beihuai bringing up the rear shining a flashlight.

The passage was very long, long enough that the four of them crawled for at least ten minutes.

If it had been Nan Xiangwan alone, she could have crawled much faster.

But there were two people behind who kept talking non-stop.

Lan Tianyou: "S-Slow down, I'm scared."

Guan Liangzhe: "Lord Gu are you there? Lord Gu why don't you grab my leg? Can you grab my leg to reassure me?"

Gu Beihuai: "No hands free, still need to crawl and shine the light."

Guan Liangzhe: "Then make time to tug on me a bit, or say something. I'm afraid it's not you behind me."

Gu Beihuai: "......"

The bullet screen audience burst out laughing!

Some mischievous audience even started trying to scare them on screen, Yes yes yes, it's not Gu Beihuai behind you, it's the female ghost following!

As Nan Xiangwan crawled, she discovered something off: "We're descending downwards."

Gu Beihuai: "That's normal, going to the second level/floor."

Guan Liangzhe: "Are there more ghosts below?"

Lan Tianyou: "I'm begging the production team, please don't scare me anymore!"

As they chatted, they finally crawled to the end.

From an overhead view, they had indeed arrived at the space below on the next level.

At the end was an iron bar gate which Nan Xiangwan easily pushed open with some strength.

The space was pitch-dark. With Nan Xiangwan's night vision she could see everything clearly.

She immediately jumped down, landing on both feet.

Nan Xiangwan: "Nothing here, come on down."

The two useless scaredy cats behind crawled down one by one, then huddled motionless in a corner.

Gu Beihuai was the last to come down, shining the flashlight around.

They discovered it was a corridor.

Guan Liangzhe: "Why is it a corridor again!"

Lan Tianyou: "I'm begging you, please, please."

Gu Beihuai: "Upstairs were single rooms, downstairs seem to be shared rooms."

Nan Xiangwan: "Yes, I can see doors in the distance ahead. Should be individual rooms."

After saying that, she took the lead walking in front, and tried to see if there were any light switches.

Just then, suddenly!

Zzap!

The sound of electric shocks rang out. In the next moment the lights in the corridor started flickering erratically.

Guan Liangzhe: "Argh! Here it comes again! Again!"

Lan Tianyou: "Help!"

In the flickering lights, there was a crawling female ghost approaching from the end of the corridor.

Each time the lights blacked out then flashed on again, that crawling female ghost came closer by several meters!

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou were frightened into screaming wildly, shouting 'Don't come over!'.

Gu Beihuai had his eyes closed. The flashing lights were bad for his eyes.

Nan Xiangwan had no issues with her vision. Whether it was bright or pitch darkness she could see clearly. So she saw the details.
