Chapter 245: Trembling in Fear
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Shao shook his head hard to get rid of the overly bold speculation in his mind.
However, people were like this. Once they started to suspect something, they would try all means to prove it.
“That’s impossible. Bai Lin-jiejie didn’t even go to junior high school. How could she have made such a rigorous game planning?”
However, he could not help but recall Bai Lin’s every move in Traveler. He recalled her excellent gaming skills that she had unintentionally revealed.
Although Bai Shao said that it was impossible, he sat up straight and was even more engrossed in the show.
“Please head to the third floor to combine the clue cards. You mustn’t make sounds more than 50 decibels. Violators will be punished after the end of the mission. The time limit is 10 minutes. Those who exceed the time limit will be punished. The time starts now.”
A mechanical voice sounded. This time, they were only asked to go to the third floor. There was no mention of the specific clues they needed to find or the puzzle that needed to be solved.
“Can’t be higher than 50 decibels?” Li Xuan was a little scared and asked in a low voice. Even his footsteps were light.
After all, they did not have any decibel detection equipment and could not monitor the sound they made.
“We normally speak at around 65 decibels. As long as you don’t scream, it’ll be fine.” After Bai Lin finished speaking, she even deliberately raised her voice and laughed twice. Li Xuan was so frightened that he wanted to cover her mouth.
The few of them chatted and laughed in low voices as they arrived at the stairs. The door lock that Bai Lin and Yan Ruo had smashed earlier had miraculously been restored.
If they were to smash the door now, they would be asking for trouble. The small iron wire that Bai Lin had used to pry open the door lock was too bent after unlocking locks too many times, so it could no longer be used to pry one.
“Zheng You, you took the keys, didn’t you?” Zhou Guang, who had searched the fifth floor with Zheng You, spoke.
Zheng You was extremely reluctant, but she would definitely end up being criticized by the public if she did not take out the keys now.
Unexpectedly, while Zheng You was still trying out the keys, the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered a few times before they went completely dark.
Zheng You exclaimed. Fortunately, her volume had not reached the upper limit, so she was not prompted to receive any punishment.
“What’s going on? Is this also part of the level?” Jing Shan was extremely impatient. He no longer wanted to stay in this game. Instead, he wanted to quickly end the show and find someone to teach Bai Lin a lesson.
The night vision mode of the video camera was immediately activated.
[Wow! Is there going to be something exciting?]
[The production team’s going to start making trouble. The horror segment that
I’ve been waiting for has appeared.]
[Youyou baby, don’t be afraid. It won’t be so dark soon.]
[No way? Setting a horror plot and a time limit. The Abyss is really getting crazier with each season.]
[Did you guys hear any strange sounds? Are they coming from the livestream
or my house! J
As a mercenary, Bai Lin’s hearing was first-cla.s.s. She was the first to hear the strange sound coming from the speakers.
In order to ensure the realistic horror effect, the production team had specially set the volume to gradually increase and decrease. This way, the horror music would appear more realistic like it came from far to near.
Zhou Guang was sensitive to sounds, so he also heard it. The siblings were not afraid, but Li Xuan was trembling.
“Xiao Xing, do you hear the sound?” Li Xuan pulled Ye Xing’s hand, giving her a fright and almost causing her to shout.
“I… Xuan-ge… I hear someone crying…” Ye Xing also held Li Xuan’s hand tightly, and the two of them were practically curled up into a ball as they slowly walked down the stairs.
“Clack. ”
A crisp sound suddenly came from the dark night, breaking through the m.u.f.fled and miserable cries.
Li Xuan and Ye Xing were so frightened by this small sound that they hugged each other, trembling and even whimpering a few times.
“Do you have to? Such cowards? It’s Youyou who opened the door,’ Jing Shan scoffed at Li Xuan and Ye Xing’s behavior.
[He’s the only one who’s bold? Does he have to mock others for being timid?]
[There’s nothing to be afraid of. Why are they recording for the Abyss when they’re so timid? Why don’t they go to the children’s channel and make a cookie baking game with the children?]
[No matter how afraid Li Xuan and Xiao Xing are, it’s still better than some people putting on a show and getting slapped in the face!]
[That’s right! This couple is so cute! Isn’t this hugging and trembling look just like me and my boyfriend watching horror movies?]
