"Everyone, please come with me."
After placing their belongings, the "nurse" who led the way took Kamiya and others deep into the passage. There was a rusty iron door here, which was currently closed.
Next to the iron door, there is a room with a door sign that reads, [Waiting Room].
The lighting in the waiting room is quite bright, and there are a few tables and chairs scattered here and there.
The four tourists, including Kamiyagawa, randomly found a table and sat down at the nurse's signal.
There is a document on the table, which is a liability exemption agreement.
The rules that should be followed when visiting Ciji Hospital are written in detail above.
Kamiya picked it up and looked at it. The rule that he had heard before, "Staff can contact, insult, and imprison tourists according to the needs of the plot, but tourists are not allowed to attack the staff" was also written in it.
In addition, at the end of the agreement, there is an important reminder in bold capital letters.
It's about safe words and safe moves.
During the visit to the haunted house, if tourists feel obviously unwell, or are overly panicked and wish to exit the challenge, they can exit the challenge by shouting the safe word or performing safe actions.
The safe word is "good luck and good health".
The safe action is to cross your hands and raise them above your head.
Safe words and safe actions can be done to any NPC in a haunted house or under any surveillance camera, and are considered effective.
At that time, staff will rush over and take the tourists away from the haunted house.
"You can withdraw at any time. It seems that Ciji Hospital has given tourists some safety guarantees." Kamiya simply read the agreement and signed it without hesitation.
The nurse who led the way took away the agreement signed by the four people, leaving behind a flashlight, then turned around and left, and slammed the waiting room door with force.
Almost the moment she left.
In the originally bright waiting room, the lights began to flicker violently, on and off.
The projector hanging above everyone's heads made a strange noise and began to operate.
The black-and-white image was projected onto the white wall of the waiting room, and the image played was shaking, with snowflakes flashing from time to time.
The content played on the screen seems to be the Ciji Hospital that everyone is in now, but it is what it looked like before it was abandoned. You can see the bright rooms, neat medical facilities, and the medical staff and doctors who are constantly flashing back in the video.
Patient wearing hospital gown.
This looks like image data preserved decades ago, and it feels extremely real.
As the video played, a woman wearing a nurse uniform appeared on the screen and began to explain the case:
"What I am telling you now is an old story that really happened. The stage where the story takes place is the Ciji Hospital where you are. Maybe you have heard that before it was transformed into a haunted house, it was an abandoned building that really existed.
Hospital building.”
"The Ciji General Hospital located in Nerima Ward was once a very large hospital with excellent medical resources and various excellent equipment. On the surface, this hospital treated diseases and saved lives, but in fact it was engaged in some shady activities behind the scenes.
"
"The director conspired with some staff in the same hospital to prescribe medicines and surgeries at will to some patients and conduct in vivo experiments. Many patients suffered from unbearable pain, became mentally disturbed, and then died."
"Dead patients will have their organs removed and soaked in chemicals, and the remaining body parts will be randomly packed in large wooden barrels."
"No one knows why the director of Ciji Hospital did such a horrific and unscrupulous thing."
"This went on for a long time until the ghosts of the patients who died in vain appeared. They slaughtered all the doctors and nurses, and the entire hospital was abandoned."
"To this day, if someone walks into this gloomy hospital, they will still see dead patients and doctors, as well as nurses carrying human heads wandering around... So, be careful what you see when exploring here.
Ghosts, maybe... they are real?"
At first, the nurse's speech was normal, but when she got to the end, her voice became low and hollow, she began to cough up blood, then her face became disfigured, and finally her hair became disheveled, and the background behind her became bloody and unsightly.
The video ends here.
"It's a bit scary. Why do I feel like the content played on the projector is real?"
The curly-haired girl in the college couple, after watching the video, panicked a little and grabbed her boyfriend's hand hard.
Her boyfriend tried to comfort her, but his voice was a little unsure:
"Don't be afraid, Rumi. Haunted houses are like this. They make it sound real and make you believe it. But if you really believe what was said in the video just now, then the purpose of the haunted house will be achieved."
The muscular man wearing glasses on the side also answered, his state was slightly calmer:
"Yes, I have watched this video several times. It will be okay. If we are scattered inside in a while, if any of you are too scared to bear it, just shout the safe word."
Among the group of people, only Kamiyakawa, a stranger, sat silently.
He is thinking about something.
Since Ciji Hospital was chosen as the fourth map in "Kaitan Story", it should at least be considered a supernatural spot in reality.
The kind that's really haunted.
So, the things mentioned in the description just now... are they just fabricated stories used by the haunted house to deepen the immersion of tourists?
It always feels hard to say.
In the waiting room.
The three college students exchanged a few words among themselves, and then the muscular man turned back and looked at the fourth person in the carpool: "Hey, little brother over there."
"Well, call me?" Kamiya stopped thinking and came back to his senses.
"Of course I'm calling you. What, are you too scared to say anything?" The muscular man laughed jokingly and patted his strong chest, "Don't worry too much, we can play together.
Games can be regarded as fate, big brother, I have played this haunted house several times. While taking care of my two juniors, I will also take care of you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems that Kamiyagawa was sitting there, frowning and thinking, which made the muscular man mistakenly think that he was scared.
However, when such a small misunderstanding occurred, Kamiya did not explain anything. He just said to the other party: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"By the way, little brother, you look like you are still a high school student, right? Is it really okay to play in such a scary haunted house by yourself?" The young couple also turned their attention to the fourth person in the temporary team.
On the body.
Before Kamiya could reply, the muscular man stood up from his seat: "It's okay, it's okay. Even if the little brother is really scared and faints, there is a first aid station here."
Then, the muscular man took the flashlight that his sister had left on the table in the front row and walked towards the door of the waiting room in a hurry.
It looks like he can't wait to challenge the haunted house.
The couple looked at each other and stood up to follow.
Finally, there was Kamiyagawa. He looked at the backs of the three college students walking out and just laughed helplessly. Then, he turned his head and glanced at his side.
On both sides of him were standing several "people" invisible to ordinary people.
It's interesting to say that the people in the previous group who called Kamiya "little brother" are now standing next to him and acting as his little brother.
"Then let's go too."
Kamiyakawa lowered his voice to greet the hearse group, stood up and left the waiting room.
…
When the four people left the waiting room, they briefly introduced themselves.
Three college students explore the haunted house with Kamiya. The big brother with muscles and glasses is called Shiratori; the young couple, the boy is named Fumio and the girl is named Rumi.
In the corridor of the hospital.
Brother Baitiao has already started to push the rusty door in front.
The iron door made contact with the ground, making a stiff friction sound, and slowly opened. Behind the door is the real play area of ​​the haunted house.
When the door opens, you can feel a cold wind blowing in your face, and the surrounding temperature seems to be even lower.
Snapped.
Shiratiao turned on the flashlight, and through the light of the flashlight, he could see that there was still a passage corridor behind the door.
But unlike the outside, there are dried red traces on the corridor walls inside.
This trace does not look like it was left by paint, it looks like it was made by real blood. Kamiya, who is more sensitive to this kind of smell, can even smell a very faint smell of blood spreading in the air.
In addition, nail scratches can also be seen on the wall, which are deep, shallow and densely packed.
When the weak light shines through, it's a bit seeping.
