Chapter 839 Mask
Thinking they had found a weakness in New Star Amusement Park, Conner and Megan continued to advance deeper into the Haunted House.
The two, who were already moving quickly, naturally began to advance rapidly after having a goal. Unlike other tourists who were enjoying or passively enjoying the amusement park facility, the two members of Team A looked like big shots speedrunning a game.
This was where the two showed their youth. After finding a clue, they became impatient and even forgot about their disguise, focusing only on moving forward.
In less than ten minutes, the two had already explored about half of the route and arrived at the Safe House located in the middle of the Haunted House. This place not only had a map of the entire Haunted House but also a call device.
Tourists who did not want to continue the experience could press the call device, and a staff member would come out from the hidden passage and then take them out of the Haunted House.
It was also here that Megan had a different idea.
"Are you saying we should split up?" Conner raised his brow upon hearing this. "But Dick said before that we should try to stay together as much as possible."
"I know, but ordinary tourists can't enter the employee channel." Megan blinked her eyes slyly. "This is the only normal opportunity to enter the employee channel."
Megan was telling the truth. Only tourists who evacuated from the midway point of the Haunted House could evacuate through the employee channel. Those who evacuated from the first half or the second half could not. Staff would take tourists out through the front and back door separately.
This was also one of the features of the New Star Amusement Park Haunted House, and it was also recorded in the play guide on the network.
In Megan's plan, she would split up with Conner. Conner would continue to experience the rest of the process, while she would leave with the staff member. The two would separately investigate the Haunted House and the employee channel.
Conner hesitated for a while, but in the end, he chose to listen to Megan's command.
Megan pressed the conspicuous large red button. In a series of beeping prompt tones, a sound came from the camera in front of them.
"May I ask what happened?"
"Hello, I would like to leave early," Megan said into the microphone in front of her.
"Okay, please wait a moment, we will send someone to pick you up immediately."
The sound stopped after a 'beep'. After a few minutes, in the corner of the safe house, a wall suddenly opened a crack, gradually expanding into a passage that could allow one person to pass through.
A staff member wearing a New Star Amusement Park uniform came out from it and asked, "Excuse me, did you two press the SOS button? I will take you both out now."
Megan raised her hand and said, "Actually, only I want to leave. My partner wants to stay and continue to experience the entire process."
The staff member showed a surprised expression, but good work ethic allowed him to recover immediately. However, the two superhumans still caught that momentary change in expression.
Conner didn't mind, but Megan was a little embarrassed. Obviously, the other person had mistaken Conner for the kind of insensitive, steel straight man who didn't know how to stay by his girlfriend's side.
But Megan knew in her heart that their relationship might not even reach that stage yet. She could only apologize to Conner in her heart for being inexplicably blamed.
"Sorry, Conner."
"What's wrong, Megan?" Conner looked puzzled. "Why are you apologizing suddenly?"
Megan's body stiffened. She had forgotten that the mind link was still on. This was too embarrassing.
"Oh! Megan!" Megan desperately suppressed the desire to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. "It's nothing, just treat it as if I'm talking nonsense, please, Conner!"
Conner was a little confused, but the smart him chose not to dwell on this matter. Megan took small steps, following behind the staff member's butt, and walked towards the employee channel.
"Megan, be careful."
Conner's voice suddenly appeared in Megan's mind. Before the latter could notice, it turned into a warm current, surging throughout Megan's body.
"Got it! Don't forget the mind communication!"
In a place where Conner couldn't see, the corner of Megan's mouth was almost grinning to the back of the head.
The employee channel door slowly closed. Conner watched the wall for a while before turning around and pushing open the safe house door.
The decoration of the second half was completely different from the first half. It should be because the Haunted House wanted to let tourists experience two different styles of haunted houses.
You could say this design is very conscientious, getting two experiences for the price of one, but you could also say this behavior destroys the sense of immersion. This is also a point that New Star Haunted House is criticized for online.
It can only be said that tastes vary.
Conner, who was alone again, frowned again. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that this Haunted House was becoming more and more strange.
This sentence sounded very strange. After all, a Haunted House is supposed to have a strange and terrifying vibe. Conner's idea was more like a compliment.
However, Conner didn't actually mean that. The strangeness he was talking about was not referring to the overall vibe of the Haunted House, but the decorations hanging on the Haunted House wall.
These decorations were mostly masks. They looked like they were using masks to imitate the face skin of various ghosts. There were also organizations embedded inside, and occasionally the masks would move to create a terrifying vibe.
These things couldn't scare Conner. The main thing was that among these massive amounts of masks, there were one or two that attracted his attention.
Those were some emotion masks that looked very ordinary. They had joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all presented in the form of human faces. Among the crowd of ghost masks, they were not particularly outstanding, to the extent that ordinary people would not notice them at a glance.
But Conner had a feeling that these masks should have some aspect that was different from others. In order to complete the investigation mission, he naturally walked towards those masks.
He first walked towards the mask closest to him, the one engraved with angry emotion. He wanted to first carefully examine the surface of the mask, and then use X-ray vision to see if he could find out anything.
Stopping at a position less than a meter away from the mask, Conner carefully examined the angry emotion mask. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find anything useful. But he always had a feeling that he was just a little bit away from finding something.
Gradually, Conner was gradually drawn in, and he didn't even notice that the camera in the room he was in had quietly turned off.
"Da."
A hand suddenly rested on Conner's shoulder. This sudden unexpected event did not scare the cautious Superboy, but at this time, Conner was stunned in his original place like an idiot.
"I can feel the child~"
A low and hoarse male voice sounded in Conner's ear.
"There is a hidden anger in your heart. Why do you suppress it? Is there some taboo?"
"I can't... can't..." Conner's body trembled, his whole body shaking like a sieve. "Can't damage... others..."
"How heartwarming~" The man's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Then, do the humans you care about really care about you?"
