Chapter 259 — Dressing Up as Ghosts to Scare People

Of course, Wei Zhao had noticed Xiao Ma following them long ago, only he had not startled the snake in the grass. In his eyes, Xiao Ma posed no threat at all, so he might as well let him follow and see what he was really after. He might even lure out the people behind him.
This was only a small fry. Even if Wei Zhao took him out, it would have no effect on the people behind him. This man did not even have a third of Yellow-stage strength, he was nothing but an errand runner doing odd jobs.
"Brother Yuzhou, from what they are saying, they are going to play in the haunted house..." Xiao Ma's task was to report Gu Mengyao and the others' movements to Zhang Yuzhou and Jin Maosheng at all times.
"The haunted house? Got it." Zhang Yuzhou said, "Wait until Brother Jin and I discuss it, then I will tell you what to do."
Over the walkie-talkie, Jin Maosheng heard Xiao Ma's words as well, only for the moment he had not yet thought of what kind of accident could be staged inside the haunted house. Assassination was definitely out of the question, as that would only bring the police in faster, which was not what Jin Maosheng wanted to see.
"First have Xiao Ma go to the haunted house ticket window and have them slow down ticket sales, do not let Gu Mengyao and the others go in right away." Jin Maosheng thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yuzhou.
"All right." Zhang Yuzhou passed Jin Maosheng's meaning on to Xiao Ma, then asked, "Brother Jin, so what should we do now?"
"Tell me, inside a haunted house, what kind of accident could happen that would kill someone?" Jin Maosheng planned to talk it over with Zhang Yuzhou, to pool their wisdom after all.
"Well... inside a haunted house..." Zhang Yuzhou could not think of any good idea for the moment. "Aside from scaring people, there is nothing else in a haunted house... it is all fake stuff."
"Scaring people..." Jin Maosheng suddenly let out a very sinister cackle. "I have got it, cackle, how about we dress up as ghosts and scare them to death?"
"That is a good idea. Everything in there is dead props. Scary, but nothing much. But if we go dress as ghosts and call out their names, they will probably... hehe..." Zhang Yuzhou nodded in approval as soon as he heard it. "Is there not a saying that goes well? People scaring people can scare people to death, that is exactly the principle."
"Let's go, hurry and get ready, scare these two chicks to death." Jin Maosheng smiled darkly. He had only tossed out the suggestion casually, but hearing Zhang Yuzhou's approval, his heart was moved as well. Right, people scaring people to death, that was an old saying, it should not be wrong.

"Why does this haunted house only let three or four people in at a time?" Gu Mengyao looked impatiently at the entrance of the haunted house. There were still three or four groups waiting in line ahead, and who knew how long it would be before her turn. If she had known, she would have had Uncle Qing put in a word in advance and pull some strings, so she would not have to wait so long.
"A good show is worth waiting for." Shen Yushu did not mind at all. "Look, Sister Yaoyao, those two couples who just went in were scared pale."
"You will end up just like that in a while." Gu Mengyao said irritably, "How about we skip it and go see something else?"
"Wait a little longer, there are only two or three more groups before us." Shen Yushu did not want to give up just like that. "Think, Sister Yaoyao, a haunted house is only scary when just a few people go in. If too many tourists go in, what would be the fun? With more people than ghosts, is it the ghosts scaring people or people scaring ghosts? Then it would be meaningless."
"That is true..." This time Gu Mengyao rather agreed with Shen Yushu's theory. Indeed, if there were too many people, you would just be looking at people, where would you have the mind left to look at ghosts?
