Chapter 260 — Shen Yushu Catches Ghosts (Part One)

Anyone who had survived in that kind of environment—would they be afraid of ghosts?

"Wuu..." An old woman with blood streaming from both eyes drifted past in front of Gu Mengyao. Gu Mengyao nearly jumped out of her skin, clutching Shen Yushu's hand and refusing to let go, regret creeping into her heart: had she known this thing was so terrifying, she would never have come to see it.

"Hee hee, Sister Yaoyao, it's a trick!" Shen Yushu reached out and swept her hand through the old woman's body—her hand passed clean through it. "See? It's fake. Nothing but a three-dimensional projection!"

"Oh..." Only after Shen Yushu's demonstration did Gu Mengyao's heart settle.

This was only the beginning. The deeper they went, the more terrifying it became. Besides the ghosts and monsters that might come flying into her face at any moment, there were coffins that burst open beside her and zombies that leapt out, making Gu Mengyao's heart lurch again and again.

"Swoosh..." A rotting corpse oozing pus all over suddenly sat bolt upright and spat a jet of black blood from its mouth straight at Gu Mengyao...

"Ah—" Gu Mengyao screamed and instinctively dodged backward, only to collide with Wei Zhao. "You—what are you doing behind me?"

"Didn't you tell me to walk behind you?" Wei Zhao shrugged. "That one's fake. It's just a beam of light and mist."

"Oh..." Gu Mengyao felt a little embarrassed. Earlier she really had been afraid something might attack from behind, which was why she had asked Wei Zhao to stand at her back. But after his explanation, she realized the blood sword just now had been nothing but a light-and-shadow effect; it did not exist at all.

After several frights, Gu Mengyao's courage slowly grew. It was all fake anyway—visible but untouchable. What was there to fear? Watching Shen Yushu wave her hands about, grabbing at the ghosts flitting back and forth, Gu Mengyao loosened up too, and like Shen Yushu she began punching and kicking, and found it quite enjoyable.

"Smack..." Gu Mengyao felt a slap on her shoulder and assumed it was Wei Zhao. "Wei Zhao, what are you hitting me for? Stop fooling around, I'm having fun..."

"Smack..." The hand slapped her again. Gu Mengyao grew annoyed and turned her head. "Wei Zhao, you... Ah—!"

Gu Mengyao screamed, because she saw a "faceless man" patting her shoulder! The faceless man itself was not frightening, of course. What was frightening was that his hand was no illusion—it was landing on her body, solid and real!

"Sister Yaoyao, what's wrong?" Shen Yushu had been happily beating ghosts when Gu Mengyao's scream made her whip her head around, and she saw a faceless man patting Gu Mengyao's shoulder.

"Huh?" Shen Yushu was puzzled. Weren't the things in here all illusions? Why did that faceless man seem otherwise? Hurrying to Gu Mengyao's side, she reached out and grabbed the faceless man's facial skin. "Huh? You really can touch it? Did they add physical props?"

"I am the faceless man, I'm going to eat you both..." Xiao Ma, somewhat vexed at being grabbed by Shen Yushu, lowered his voice and growled. Brother Yuzhou had only told him to play along with the act; he did not dare act rashly, and could only keep pretending to be a ghost.

Wei Zhao, however, watched Xiao Ma with interest. From the shoes the faceless man wore, Wei Zhao had long since recognized him as Xiao Ma, the man who had been tailing them, and he had already formed some judgment about their scheme.

These people's idea was truly absurd—dress up as a ghost and frighten Gu Mengyao to death? What were they thinking? Did they not know there was a live wire at Gu Mengyao's side? Even if Gu Mengyao was timid, with Shen Yushu stirring things up, there was absolutely no chance she would be frightened to death.

Still, even though this Xiao Ma was a poor fighter and Wei Zhao had guessed his only purpose was to play ghost, Wei Zhao remained vigilant at all times, so that the instant Xiao Ma made any move against Gu Mengyao, he could strike first.

To commit murder openly inside a haunted house—Wei Zhao reckoned they would not dare. If they dared to kill in the open, they would not have needed to wait for the haunted house; anywhere outside would have done.

"Sister Yaoyao, look how realistic this faceless man is. Look at his face—you can even pull it..." As she spoke, Shen Yushu gave the faceless man's facial skin a hard tug, stretching it out several centimeters.

"Aooo—" Xiao Ma was in so much pain tears nearly came out. Why wasn't this girl afraid of him? She even dared to pinch a ghost's face? Where did she get such nerve?

"Really?" This time Gu Mengyao was not afraid either. She reached out and tugged the other half of the faceless man's face, so that Xiao Ma's left and right cheeks were stretched at once, his mouth pulled into the shape of a gourd, so that he could not even cry out in pain.

"Wuu... I am the faceless man, I'm going to eat you..." Xiao Ma's voice had taken on a tearful whine.

"So unoriginal. Can't you say something else scary?" Shen Yushu was speechless. "Sister Yaoyao, step aside a bit and watch me finish him off!"

"Oh, all right!" Gu Mengyao stepped to one side, and Shen Yushu swung her leg up and kicked the faceless man square in the crotch.

Xiao Ma's eyes rolled back, and he passed out from the pain.

"Hey!" Shen Yushu waved her hands excitedly. "Sister Yaoyao, I'm amazing—I finished off a faceless man!"

"Little Shu, could you have kicked the model broken? Why isn't he moving?" Gu Mengyao of course did not think it was a person; she thought it was a lifelike model that Shen Yushu had kicked into malfunctioning.

"Uh... it's fine, isn't it? It's your daddy's amusement park anyway; if it's broken, someone will fix it!" Shen Yushu said after thinking it over.

"True..." Gu Mengyao did not mind. Such a small matter—of course she would not care. In her view, if it was broken, they could just throw it away.

Not far off, Jin Maosheng's face twitched twice, and Zhang Yuzhou was drenched in sweat. This girl was too vicious, wasn't she? Not only had she pinched Xiao Ma's face, she had also delivered a kick to the groin that would leave him with no descendants...

"Brother Jin, what do we do?" Zhang Yuzhou was a little nervous.

"Looks like we need to get rough!" Jin Maosheng sneered. "Let's go."

After finishing off one faceless man, Shen Yushu kept swinging her fists and battling the ghosts, but she discovered to her regret that apart from that one faceless man, everything else was illusory and could not be touched at all...

Wei Zhao cast Xiao Ma a look of pity, feeling a chill in his heart. That girl Shen Yushu was truly ruthless—he had not even lifted a hand, and Xiao Ma had already been crippled by her kick...

Suddenly, a zombie and a vampire closed in as well, surrounding Gu Mengyao. The zombie hopped toward her, one bounce at a time, chanting as it hopped: "Gu Mengyao... give up your life..."
