This Taoist Master is too Frivolous - Chapter 255:

Chapter 255: Chapter 190: This ghost is incredibly brave, it’s not afraid of me? (Seeking subscription)_2

At this thought, Xu Yang quietly retreated and immersed himself in the gray mist.

Once he entered the gray mist, he took out a large iron hammer and put on the green-faced, fanged mask.

Glancing at his clothes, Xu Yang silently took out his Daoist robe and put it on…

“Since those NPCs are ghosts in disguise, wearing Daoist robes would be scarier for them than having some bloodstains.”

Xu Yang, dressed in a Daoist robe, held the iron hammer, looked around cautiously, and began searching for the “NPCs”. The green-faced, fanged mask flickered with eerie green light, making him look very strange in the gray mist.

Meanwhile,

The group led by the muscular man had already crossed the Yin-Yang Path.

They didn’t notice that their group had silently lost one person.

Then…

They silently gained another shadow!

The shadow walked at the rear of the group, gradually taking on Xu Yang’s appearance as it moved forward.

A small city-like structure appeared ahead.

The muscular man said, “Everyone be careful, we are about to enter the second scene of this haunted house: Fengdu City. This Fengdu City is said to be modeled after the Underworld Palace’s Fengdu Ghost City, with many rooms inside. There might be NPCs and traps hidden in some of the rooms, so be extra cautious.”

From behind,

Ma Long said, “Xu Yang, why does this haunted house feel different from what you described? It’s not as terrifying as I imagined… Xu Yang… Xu Yang, why don’t you speak?”

After talking for a while without getting any response from Xu Yang, he turned his head and couldn’t help but ask, “Xu Yang, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.”

The “Xu Yang” replied, “Let’s go and catch up with our team.”

Due to the dim light in the haunted house, Ma Long didn’t notice the strange smile on the face of “Xu Yang” and the eerie glint in his eyes.

At the same time,

Inside the haunted house’s second scene, “Fengdu City”.

In a small room with bunk beds.

This bunk bed has a mechanism with a grotesque puppet placed on top. If someone sits on the bed, the mechanism would be triggered, causing the puppet to shoot down from above.

At this moment,

The teams entering the haunted house had not yet entered Fengdu City.

But underneath the bed… a person quietly crawled out.

This person was using his phone to livestreain in the pitch-black, cramped room, speaking quietly to the chatroom, “Guys, the next batch of tourists is about to arrive… let’s have some fun today!”

“Scare both the tourists and the NPCs!”

“I’ve pretty much figured out the layout of Fengdu City. There are a total of 26 rooms of varying sizes, with secret passages connecting every room aside from the external corridor, making it easier for NPCs to move around and scare people.”

“This room is the third room in Fengdu City.”

“According to the basic gameplay, once the NPC in the first room finishes scaring the tourists, they will immediately come to this room. They will hide on top of the bunk bed… When a tourist triggers the mechanism and the puppet pops out, they will be scared initially but then gradually calm down, only for the NPC to slowly lower their hair from the bed…”

As he explained,

On the other side,

Xu Yang had already stepped out of the gray mist.

He was somewhat disappointed.

It seemed that the gray mist was really just for atmosphere, as there were no ghostly figures inside.

Looking up at Ma Long and the others entering “Fengdu City”, Xu Yang thought, “Maybe those NPCs are following the tourists. If I hurry into Fengdu City now, I should be able to scare the NPCs… Huh?”

Xu Yang suddenly realized something and muttered,

“Ten people?”

“Didn’t I slip away? How come there are still ten people in their group?”

The light inside the haunted house was dim.

But with Xu Yang’s cultivation, his vision wasn’t greatly affected. He watched Ma Long chatting enthusiastically with the “tenth person” with their arms around each other and suddenly understood…

An NPC must have taken on his appearance.

“Damnit!”

“How dare they take on my appearance?”

Xu Yang immediately took out an invisibility talisman and stuck it to his body, his figure disappearing quickly into the gray mist. He sped up and caught up with the group, confirming that the person had indeed assumed his appearance.

At this moment,

The team had entered “Fengdu City”.

Before them lay a long, narrow corridor.

The lighting in the corridor was also dim, with a layer of dark red light covering everything. Faint, ghostly figures could be seen in the distance. On both sides of the corridor were rooms, some with closed doors and others wide open.

Room numbers were written in red on the doors, from 1 to 26, representing the room numbers. The red looked like fresh blood.

Besides that, there were some strange graffiti and peculiar phrases written on some doors, such as “It’s coming” and “It’s really coming”, words that seemed to have no logical sense.

The muscular man stopped and turned to look at his “teammates”.

He now had a commanding demeanor and said, “There must be NPCs hidden in these rooms, so no matter what happens, don’t be alarmed… We’ll search the rooms one by one to find clues for the fifth scene. Once we successfully pass through the fifth scene, we’ll win the prize money…”
