Horror Game Designer Chapter 484: Sense of Superiority

“Medicine to enter the dream?” Gao Ming spoke for the first time. “Can you share with me what that looks like?”

For some reason, Gao Ming tensed whenever he heard the mention of Immortal Pharma. Everything that happened to him was related to this company.

“Everyone’s description is different, but everyone mentioned one thing. The medicine is not a common medicine.” An Yuan glanced at Gao Ming. He wondered why an uncle like Gao Ming would join youngsters like them. “Big brother, you look tired. Are you sure you can play this? This place is very scary.”

Gao Ming didn’t answer. His mental age was probably older than all of them.

“The elders can hide at the back. However, remember to run fast when you’re being chased. If no one saves you after you’re captured, your ticket money will be wasted.” The voice from the corner was arrogant. Different from An Yuan and his friends, the others wore running shoes and knee guards. They looked very professional.

“What is this sense of superiority? It’s just a haunted house.” Ol Cao stayed close to Jia Jia. Even though she was scared, she still retorted, “Isn’t this haunted house a place of business? Why do you care what kind of customers they have?”

“I’m sorry. My friend is a bit direct. He doesn’t mean any malice.” A handsome boy with a lot of hairspray apologised to Ol Cao. “My name is Zhe Zhi. I’m the vice president of Xin Lu Escape Room Exploration Group. This mental hospital haunted house is Xin Lu’s scariest haunted house. It is really not recommended for newbies.”

“The scariest in Xin Lu?” Gao Ming was confused. The lady from earlier said her boss brought his girlfriend there for a date. Gao Ming didn’t know who to believe.

“Yes.” Zhe Zhi nodded seriously.

The lights in the corridor flickered. A sharp scream came from the end of the corridor. Then, all the lights were cut out. The place sank into darkness.

“It’s coming!”

Someone ran down the corridor. Before they could react, a loud explosion erupted beside their ears. Rays of flashlight shone through the dark. A doctor in a white coat slammed his fists into the iron bars of the guard rail and yelled in fear. “The bunch of lunatics have escaped! We need to escape! Come with me!”

Ol Cao and Jia Jia were so scared that they instinctively followed the directions.

“Don’t go over there!” An Yuan stopped them. “Look under his coat! He wears the patient’s outfit underneath the white coat! He is not a doctor!”

After his disguise was exposed, the ‘Doctor’ cackled madly, “Come with me! Quickly! Even if you don’t, you’ll have to die!”

The ‘Doctor’ cracked his head against the bar. He tried to squeeze his head through the rail. However, a strange munching sound came from the other end of the corridor. Then, a lot of liquid was split on the floor. When the ‘Doctor’ heard that, he looked so scared. He let go of the bars. “If you don’t run away, you’ll die. You’ve all been tricked!” After saying that, he disappeared into the dark. The monster that scared him off was still approaching.

When the monster reached the iron bars, the lights came on again. The horrifying music halted instantly. A tall and handsome male doctor stood at the other end of the bars. The man looked like he came out of a comic book. He looked sharp and alluring in his doctor’s coat. His muscles bulged under his shirt. He had a sad beauty about him.

Jia Jia’s dark eyes were lit up. The girl subconsciously moved closer to the male doctor.

“Some patients have escaped from their rooms. It is not safe here. I’ll bring you to the security room.” The doctor’s voice was very magnetic. He took out a key to unlock the rail. “Don’t be scared. My name is Meng Qiu. I’m the main physician here.” Doctor Meng opened the door and gentlemanly waited for them.

“Don’t go there!” An Yuan tried to warn them, but it was already too late. Jia Jia and a couple had already walked past the guard rails. The lights suddenly flickered. Doctor Meng’s face dropped. He grabbed Jia Jia by her wrist. “Quick! It is not safe here!”

Just as Ol Cao hesitated, Doctor Meng led the three players into the corridor and hid inside one of the rooms. After the lights went out, they disappeared.

“Jia Jia!” Ol Cao was very nervous. Her best friend disappeared just like that. “God damn! Don’t you know that the more handsome a man is, the more dangerous he’ll be?”

“It’s fine. We’ll eventually meet up with your friend again.” Zhe Zhi consoled Ol Cao and removed a piece of mirror on the top of the guard rails. “You should be careful. The monster was moving towards the rails when the lights went out. When the lights came back, there was a hot man standing there. Clearly, the man was the monster that scared the patient away.” Zhe Zhi toyed with the mirror. “The doctor stood beyond the door not because he was gentlemanly but because he couldn’t come any closer. The mirror would show his real appearance.”

There was a dripping sound. The nurse with scars on her face returned. Her stomach was stained with blood. She reeked of blood. “Are you alright… Wait. Why are some of you missing?”

“There was a Doctor Meng who offered to bring them to the security room.” Ol Cao had a bad feeling.
“We do not have a doctor by the surname of Meng! That thing has escaped! This is bad! You need to come with me!” Zhe Zhi, An Yuan and the others moved through the guard rails.

“The first batch of staff is fake. The second batch is also fake. Is this third batch the real staff? The design of this haunted house is quite interesting. However, the smell of blood is too fake.” Gao Ming said under his breath, but Jie Ge beside him heard it.

“The haunted house just wants to separate us. We’ll face more choices later until there’s no one left around you.” Jie Ge was a nice person. “I don’t think you’ve attempted an escape room before. You can just pick what I pick.”

Before Gao Ming could say anything, a horrible scream came from behind them. The female nurse shouted over the loud siren. She shouted for everyone to run into the sickrooms along the corridor.

The players were split up in a panic. Even An Yuan and Jie Ge were separated from each other. An Jie, Gao Ming and Ol Cao were trapped inside Room 7003.

Through the window on the door, the players saw the nurse being chased by a large monster. They were worried for the nurse. Only Gao Ming didn’t care about the chase happening outside. He sensed something and knelt down to meet a pair of eyes hidden under the bed.
