Starting with a haunted house to create a thrilling game arena

Chapter 95: The Little Blue Book's Adventure Team

Eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City.

Zhang Ze appeared in the eastern suburbs, where the scenery looked similar to that of the western suburbs, with crowds thronging the area, as the nightlife was just beginning.

Elderly people are doing square dancing.

Small vendors hawk their wares.

There are also poor high school students who are just getting out of school now, carrying backpacks that are bigger than their blankets and dragging their tired bodies back home.

The destination was the second ward, located in a remote urban area. The residents there were mostly families of nearby employees. Zhang Ze did not go in directly, but instead found a place nearby to sit for a while.

I even bought a box of spicy wolf tooth potatoes.

We ate while waiting for the city to fall completely silent.

More than an hour later.

Seeing that the senior high school students nearby had all left school, Zhang Ze knew it was late at night. He threw the leftover food packaging into the trash can and prepared to use the crows to enter the second ward directly.

Suddenly.

Several people outside the wall caught Zhang Ze's attention.

"Has the recording started?"

"It's recorded! Hurry up, this angle is perfect!"

The crow shifted its gaze to the person speaking.

These are three young people wearing gray coats, almost unrecognizable at first glance: two men and one woman. One of the men seems to be the one organizing the gathering, directing the other two to film him.

He was muttering something to himself in front of the camera.

"This time we're exploring the abandoned mental hospital in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City, the eastern suburbs of the Third Mental Rehabilitation Center of Hanjiang City. This place once held the pain and memories of countless mental patients, and now only ruins remain."

"People in the neighborhood say that they often hear women crying and men laughing strangely. A food delivery driver who works on a crowdsourced delivery platform even posted online that when he rode his electric scooter past the hospital, his medical monitor showed abnormal readings and his heart would ache."

"Do ghosts really exist? Today I found two adventurers on Little Blue Book to join me. My name is Su Ren, let's find out!"

After saying that, Su Ren took out the flashlight that was a must-have for protagonists in horror movies, turned it on, and shone it around.

The light shone past the crows in the sky.

"Su Ren, did you see that? It looks like a crow."

"No...no, it's more than a dozen!"

The female hiker became a little nervous when she saw the crows illuminated by the lights, and cautiously pointed to the sky above the high wall in the distance.

Su Ren was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Great! Even the crows are supporting our operation. Don't you think this is a good omen?"

As the saying goes, beneath the Temple of Buddha, a scene of crows and drums fills the air.

"Last time I went to a virtual reality haunted house in the western suburbs, it was terrifying! The owner of that haunted house kept a lot of crows, they were everywhere in the whole house, so it's not surprising!"

……

"What are these three idiots babbling about?"

"I've warned you this much, why aren't you running away? Are you trying to squeeze in with me?"

Seeing that these three were really trying to get into the second ward first, Zhang Ze felt a chill run down his spine. If things continued to develop this way, he was really afraid that these three would cause him trouble.

Zhang Ze is not like Chen Ge, who is so easy to talk to.

Since these three people couldn't understand the hint...

Zhang Ze had no choice but to choose another method.

"Su Ren, wait a minute, don't go in yet, my phone's broken, it won't display anything!"

"What's going on? This is the latest iPhone Pro Max! Don't you understand? It's a high-end brand. You're questioning whether there's something wrong with the phone? You must be doing something wrong."

"No, it's not! Come and see!"

The three of them huddled together.

The phone screen turned into static, and after a few seconds, the image returned to normal, but a woman in red appeared in the frame.

The female hiker was stunned.

"Don't you guys think this thing looks like...?"

"Sadako?"

The voice just fell.

Sadako suddenly appeared in front of the camera.

Even more terrifying, a pale hand was seen reaching out from the phone screen!

"ah!!"

Three piercing screams.

After all three people had passed out, Zhang Ze took out his phone and dialed Kuai Liang's number. "Officer Kuai, come to the old town area in the eastern suburbs of Hanjiang City... um, I've encountered three people who have fainted."

"What?"

"I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me. I guess it's someone who got drunk and just collapsed. I checked and they still have a pulse, you can take them back."

A few minutes later.

Police cars arrived at the scene.

The people who came were not Kuai Liang, but other police officers from the local police station. They asked Zhang Ze a few questions and then carried Su Ren and the other two away.

After doing all this, Zhang Ze used the crow to check the area around the second ward again to make sure that there was no one like Su Ren who was a bit dim-witted and wanted to explore the abandoned hospital.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing at the entrance of the second ward, the windows of the security booth had long been sealed with newspapers, and a large "Demolish" sign was printed on the wall.

The first thing you see is the outpatient department.

Behind the outpatient department are two buildings, one is the administration building and the other is the inpatient building. Zhang Ze's crow was attacked after entering the administration building.

If there are ghosts, there's at least one in the administration building.

But...who said there's only one ghost in Ward 2?

Both are 3-star scenes.

The third ward, located at the Donghai Road Film and Television Base, was a huge set filled with many ghosts. Zhang Ze did not believe that the second ward was as harmless as it appeared.

[Triggering the Paranormal Land Quest]

[Second Ward: Screaming Index 3 stars]

[After the fire ten years ago, rumors of hauntings spread from the original hospital campus. Initially, it was just patients reporting seeing supernatural phenomena, but it wasn't until doctors and nurses also saw the woman that it truly gained attention. The hospital was relocated to a new campus, but little did they know, the real horror was just beginning. Please go alone to the East Suburb Campus of the Third Mental Health Rehabilitation Center of Hanjiang City and survive until the next morning.]

Side Quest 1: The Straw Hat. My mother gave me a straw hat, and I love it so much. I want to be with it forever.

Side Quest Two: Carnations. My son gave me a carnation. I love him so much, and I want to be with him forever and ever.

Side Quest 3: The Last Player. When you see a teammate making inhuman moves in a game, please don't rush to hurl insults, because she might really not be human.

Side Quest 4: Ward 13. Does it hurt? Do you think you're truly awake? Why do you need this little bit of pain? Do you want to stay here?

System tasks refreshed.

As expected, the second ward was not as simple as it seemed.

"Side quests one and two seem to be about Xiaomen and his mother. After Xiaomen died, his mother's lingering spirit kept searching for him, causing many supernatural events and leading to the relocation of the second ward."

"This is easy to understand."

"But the remaining two tasks are completely unrelated."

Zhang Ze had no clue.

However, the mission had already been triggered, leaving him no way back.

Zhang Ze had no choice but to go into the outpatient department.
