Qin Yu kept running frantically until he finally reached a relatively safe corner. He let out a sigh of relief and turned around, "Jiang Jiang, we..."
Then he saw that familiar face of the hanging ghost.
Only then did he realize, in his panic, he had grabbed the wrong person.
"Ahhhh—"
Qin Yu flung the hanging ghost away and ran off again, screaming.
He dashed left and right through the haunted house, eventually bumping into Sang Ling and the others.
Seeing Qin Yu in such a sorry state, Sang Ling asked in surprise, "Qin Yu, is that you?"
Qin Yu's body stiffened, and he immediately tried to appear calm, "Yes, it's me."
Sang Ling: "Why did you run all the way here?"
Qin Yu, unable to admit he was scared by a ghost, could only use the excuse that he was looking for Jiang Tao.
Just then, they heard Qiao Shishi's voice over the intercom, "Jiang Tao, Shen Zhiyan, non-couple physical contact, two points deducted!"
Everyone: "..."
Sang Ling: "Looks like you don't need to look for her anymore."
Qin Yu: "..."
After finding Jiang Tao, Shen Zhiyan seemed to suddenly awaken his navigation skills and led her in the direction of Sang Ling and the others.
Qiao Shishi, watching the surveillance footage, was at a loss for words.
On Sang Ling's side, with two people afraid of ghosts and one afraid of the dark, the pressure of finding the target items fell entirely on Sang Ling. As the only anchor in the group, she was exhausted.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before she saw Jiang Tao and Shen Zhiyan walking toward them.
The two of them were holding hands, strolling leisurely as if they were in a garden outside, not in a haunted house.
Sang Ling felt a wave of relief, "Thank goodness, you guys are finally here!"
Duan Lele, hearing their voices, tried her best to suppress her fear and opened her eyes a crack, just in time to see them holding hands tightly: "You... you two..."
Shen Zhiyan calmly replied, "We were worried about getting separated in the haunted house. Anyway, it's just a two-point deduction."
Duan Lele glanced at Xu Ziyu, then ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. Xu Ziyu also hugged her back firmly.
Qiao Shishi's weak voice came through the broadcast, "Duan Lele and Xu Ziyu, two points deducted!"
Duan Lele was delighted, "It's really only a two-point deduction~"
With Xu Ziyu beside her, she wasn't as scared as before.
Qin Yu, feeling tempted, looked at Sang Ling, "Should we...?"
Sang Ling: "Scram!"
Qin Yu: "..."
Whimper~
【Hahahahahaha, Brother Qin, what are you even imagining!】
【Sister Sang: If you dare make me lose points, you're dead!】
【Brother Qin: I used to be a brave man until I had my throat cut by a certain chef named Jiang in the cellar...】
【Pffft, to be fair, this really isn't Jiang Jiang's fault. Brother Qin isn't afraid of zombies or murderers, but he's genuinely terrified of supernatural stuff. This really hit his weak spot, hahaha.】
