Chapter 210: A Horror Film +8 Pearls

The six of you are couriers from three escort agencies. Your mission is to transport 100 pieces of gold. Along your route, you will pass through an ancient town. A hundred years ago, a plague wiped out all the residents, and their restless ghosts remain trapped within. Your task is to survive three days in the ancient town. The team that brings out the most gold wins,” the host explained with a cheerful smile.

After hearing the host’s explanation, Franklin immediately asked, “What happens if we’re caught by the ghosts?”

The host replied, “Anyone caught will be imprisoned. If both members of a team are caught, your mission is a total failure. However, you can rescue your teammate if they’re captured. Many exorcists have ventured into the town before and left magic tools behind. If you can retrieve these magic tools, you can free your teammate. Some magic tools can even protect you from being harmed by the ghosts.”

At this point, the host seemed to recall something and deliberately glanced at Olivia.

“In addition, there’s a shop in the ancient town run by an old man. He also has magic tools, but you’ll need to use gold to purchase them.”

Shawn commented, “Why do I feel like this shop is targeting a certain someone?”

Are they taking Olivia’s path to leave her no path?

Olivia smirked. How naive!

“Can I fight the staff playing ghosts to get magic tools?” Olivia asked.

The host, as if anticipating this question, responded, “Of course, but only if you can beat them. A kind reminder: the ghosts in this town were specifically recruited from a certain military academy.”

Louis and the others, who had initially felt confident in their physical abilities, were instantly deflated.

Military academy? Could the production team be any more ruthless? Who could possibly win against that?

From the moment she heard the word “ghosts,” Jocelyn had been trembling.

Her teammate Franklin, however, seized the chance to showcase his bravery. “Don’t worry. The ghosts are just staff members in costume. Nothing to be scared of.”

“Exactly. At the end of the day, it’s all fake. They’ll chase us at most, but it’s not like they’ll actually scare us,” Shawn chimed in.

Haunted houses aren’t exactly new. How scary could it really be?

The host, blocking any remaining escape routes, announced, “Now, please put on your blindfolds. We will transport you to the ancient town.”

Soon, the six of them were blindfolded and packed into three vehicles, heading toward the location.

Nearly an hour later, they arrived.

Once the participants were dropped off, the staff instructed them to count to 100 before removing their blindfolds.

Shawn finished counting first. The moment he removed his blindfold, he was greeted by a pair of bloodshot eyes staring straight at him in the dim light.

A female ghost with disheveled hair, dressed in a blood-red gown, hung upside down from the beams by chains. Her face was a mess of blood and flesh, with maggot-like creatures writhing in the decayed tissue. Her long, damp hair brushed Shawn’s face as her inverted head dangled close to him…

One glance was all it took. Shawn let out a terrified scream and fell flat on his backside. “Oh my goodness! Ah! No!”

What the hell! They said it wouldn’t be scary!

Meanwhile, the viewers watching the livestream were equally stunned.

The ghost’s design, captured on camera, looked so realistic it could have stepped straight out of a horror movie.

“Damn you, production team! Couldn’t you have added a jump-scare warning?”

“The production team should just start making horror movies at this point!”

“The ghost might not be real, but the production team is seriously evil!”

“It feels like we’ve been transported straight into a horror film.”
