Arriving at the highest city in the world, Tianshan Hospital.

The four of them all had fast passes for this project, and it was their turn almost without any queuing time.

"This project requires a group of eight to ten people to go in together. Do you four want to form your own group, or go with other tourists?" After scanning the four people's fast codes, the staff asked.

It was too slow and unnecessary to call people themselves. After the four of them looked at each other, Chen Yuying told the staff to choose the latter.

"Okay, then you guys go in first and wait in the waiting area for a while," the staff nodded.

The four of them walked in.

"Hey, isn't that Chen Tianming?" Chen Yuying pointed forward and said.

Lin Li looked over, and it was indeed Chen Tianming. There were two girls beside him, and the one with short hair should be Yao Qiaoqiao.

And Chen Tianming also seemed to have noticed Lin Li, but he didn't greet him immediately. Instead, he looked at his phone.

Lin Li understood and took out his phone.

[Chen Tianming: From now on, we'll each call each other what we want. I'll call you dad, you call me bro. Please, dad.]

Lin Li: "..."

"What a coincidence, Brother Tianming," Lin Li sighed with a smile in his heart and raised his hand to greet him.

"Hey, Lin Li?" Chen Tianming looked at Lin Li in 'surprise', then walked up and bumped fists with Lin Li.

"Thank you, dad," Chen Tianming said in a low voice.

Chen Yuying, who was on the side, heard it. She blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.

What a complicated relationship.

"No need to call me dad. Although I don't know what you're doing, I'll cooperate with you next. The premise is that you have to treat Bufan and Baowei to breakfast next week," Lin Li replied concisely.

"Okay," although he didn't know why he had to treat them to breakfast, Chen Tianming agreed.

And Yao Qiaoqiao's gaze was also attracted by the voice and movement.

After seeing Lin Li, she walked over, crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Lin Li, why haven't you accepted my WeChat friend request?"

She was also wearing makeup today, but she was still not as good-looking as Chen Yuying.

"Oh, oh, sorry. Tianming reminded me. I didn't notice at first, and then I forgot. Sorry," Lin Li was really not lying. He had really forgotten about this.

"It's okay, I'm not blaming you. I can apply again now. You won't not accept it this time, right?" Yao Qiaoqiao took out her phone, tapped the phone case with her fingernail, making a crisp sound, and asked in a gentle voice.

"Okay, and sorry again," Lin Li took out his phone and accepted the friend request from "Hazelle".

Even though he had already memorized the words up to H, Lin Li still didn't know what this English word meant.

"My name is Yao Qiaoqiao, remember? I've always remembered your name," Yao Qiaoqiao said again.

"Of course, Tianming has been mentioning you all the time. How could I forget?" Lin Li smiled.

He ignored the grateful gaze from Chen Tianming on the side.

This is what I should do.

"Then thank you for remembering my name. Are you guys here to play the haunted house too? You four, you haven't formed a group yet, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's go together? The three of us are also waiting for people. By the way, she's my classmate, Fan Rou."

"First of all, hello, this classmate," Lin Li did not nod, but pointed at Chen Yuying and the other two, "Secondly, ask them. My political rights have been deprived for life. I'm no longer a complete person. I have no human rights."

Yao Qiaoqiao: "?"

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu punched Lin Li in the back at the same time.

A solid punch.

Rubbing his sore waist, Lin Li shrugged, "See, I've become a sandbag."

"Let's go together," Chen Yuying nodded.

In fact, there was no need to ask. According to the staff's arrangement, it was obvious that they would be together.

But Chen Yuying thought about it again and felt that if Lin Li agreed directly without asking the three of them, or asked them after agreeing, it would indeed make people uncomfortable.

"There's a locker here. Let's go put our bags away first," Ding Sihan said at this time.

"It's rare that you're not lazy for once. Help me put mine away too, thank you," Lin Li handed his bag, which actually didn't have much in it, to Ding Sihan.

"Your bag can come or not, but you have to come," Ding Sihan didn't grab Lin Li's bag, but grabbed Lin Li's hand. The low voice came from between her smiling teeth.

So Lin Li was dragged over.

The four of them arrived at the locker area.

"What's the situation? Who's that? Is there gossip to eat? Does Chen Tianming like her? I'm so anxious!" Ding Sihan licked her lips and asked impatiently.

It seemed that the melon-eating attribute was in full swing.

So cute, I want to sit on her and crush her.

"It's not a big deal that you guys ran into it, but it's not a sure thing yet. It's best not to spread it around..." After saying this premise, Lin Li told them the general situation.

"I see. Then does this Yao Qiaoqiao like Chen Tianming?" Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu suddenly understood.

"I don't know the progress today, but it doesn't look like it. After all, Yao Qiaoqiao also brought her own classmate. If she was really on a date, she wouldn't bring a third wheel," Lin Li gave his analysis.

What Lin Li didn't say was that based on his impression of Chen Tianming, he seriously suspected that this kid was the third wheel who had forced his way into the two girls' company.

Chen Yuying frowned slightly. She hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Although it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, I always feel that this girl is also a bit... strange? But I can't say what's strange about her."

"Class president, are you trying to say she's a bit of a green tea bitch?" Lin Li summarized.

"...I'm not," Chen Yuying glared at Lin Li.

"I actually have a bit of this feeling too. She's far from being as naturally and casually cute as you, class president. She seems to have designed every action.

Although it's indeed irresponsible to make such a negative evaluation based on just a few glances and a few words, I believe that my boy's sixth sense and your girl's sixth sense won't be wrong. If it's wrong, it's your problem, class president," Lin Li said with a smile.

"It's not happy to be praised by stepping on others," Chen Yuying punched Lin Li's forearm again after hearing the latter part, "Also, it's your evaluation. If it's wrong, it's your problem."

This punch had a little more force.

I can only take ninety-nine more.

"Is there? Why didn't I feel it?" Ding Sihan scratched her head.

Lin Li glanced at her, then sighed and said nothing.

"What do you mean!"

"Huh? I didn't say anything?"

...

When the four of them went back after putting away their bags, there were two more people, who didn't look like students, probably a couple.

And when the staff saw the four of them come back, they gestured for them to come over.

"...So everyone just needs to find three keys in the various rooms of the hospital within the limited time, take out the password, and you can open the door to leave the hospital and escape," the staff stated the background story.

Then he confiscated their phones and gave each of them a mini flashlight that looked like it was bought from a street stall for three yuan, and then let everyone set off.

"Tianming, as the most courageous and wisest person among us, I'm a little scared. I'll leave the task of leading the way to you," Lin Li praised.

"You praise me too much. I don't deserve it, but no problem. Just leave the leading to me," Chen Tianming waved his hand, indicating that it was a small matter.

Chen Yuying and the other two, who knew the inside story, heard this pretentious way of speaking and just turned their heads away strangely.

So Lin Li walked in the middle, and behind him were Chen Yuying and the other two.

"Baby, let's walk behind. I'll definitely protect you," the boyfriend said to his girlfriend.

When the staff closed the entrance door, the lights instantly dimmed, and rustling and scary sounds came from the haunted house at the same time. The atmosphere was immediately set.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people now, Lin Li really wanted to kowtow to Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu.

—"Ying Bao, don't grab me, I'm scared."

—"Yuying, don't grab me either, I'm also scared."

See, these two daughters are also duplicitous. They said they would protect Chen Yuying after they went in, but they changed their faces as soon as they went in.

It's good that they changed.

"Class president, you grab me. I'm not afraid," Lin Li said, holding back his laughter.

"You two..." In the darkness, Chen Yuying's eyes were shining from the light of the flashlight.

Finally, she stood behind Lin Li and carefully pulled the hem of Lin Li's expensive clothes, which he claimed were worth 1,800 yuan.

"We're at a crossroads. There have been no ghosts along the way, so it feels like something is about to happen now. Everyone be careful," Chen Tianming, who was walking in front, was calm. While walking slowly, he turned his head to remind everyone.

"Why didn't you treat me—!! Why!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a sharp, hoarse female roar suddenly appeared. A fake head full of blood suddenly popped out of the right wall, and only the eye sockets emitted a creepy red light.

Although Chen Tianming had reminded them, it was still a very sudden scene. Even Lin Li's heart tightened, and he subconsciously tensed his body.

And the girl behind him was even worse. After a scream, her hand briefly loosened for a moment, but then she grabbed the clothes on his lower back with both hands. He could feel her arm pressing against him.

Damn arm.

Forget it, no part of the class president's body is hateful.

Pah, pah, pah.

Then the thought just now doesn't count. Retract it.

The hateful thing is my 32.9 yuan clothes that I bought for 1,800 yuan.

Lin Li turned his head, preparing to comfort Chen Yuying:

"Class president, don't... Ding Sihan!? Damn! Why the hell is it you!!!"

Damn it, the fake head that suddenly appeared didn't scare him. Lin Li turned his head and saw that it was Ding Sihan who was grabbing his clothes. He was completely scared.

I want to die.

This is the fucking haunted house!

He scanned behind him with the flashlight.

Chen Yuying was now covering the lower half of her face with her clenched fists, leaning against the wall. After hearing Lin Li call her, she trembled again because the volume was too loud, and then she raised her head and looked at him with somewhat panicked eyes.

Cute, I want to rush her a hundred times.

"Hahahaha!! I saw Ying Bao get scared and hide by the wall just now, so I came up. After all, I'm also scared~" Lin Li's expression of seeing a ghost made Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu behind him laugh until their stomachs hurt.

Lin Li: "..."

I'm afraid of ghosts, but ghosts haven't hurt me at all. I'm not afraid of people, but people have hurt me all over.

Although he had forgotten who had said this to him before, Lin Li now completely understood.

Damn arm.

No part of Ding Sihan's body is not hateful.

"You... you guys, it's too dangerous for you to be behind me. Go to the front."

Lin Li, with a black line on his head, took a few steps back and walked in front of the couple, behind Chen Yuying and the other two.

Never expose your back to people you don't trust.

Truth.

"Yuying was too rational when she was in danger. It's a pity. Haha, Wanqiu, did you see Lin Li's expression just now? It's a real pity that I didn't bring my phone to record it. He looked like he had seen something dirty, hahaha—"

Ding Sihan in front was still laughing wildly.

Qu Wanqiu was also laughing at first, but then she was stunned for a moment, looking at Ding Sihan in a daze, not knowing whether to continue laughing.

Until Ding Sihan also reacted.

"What are you doing again?" Looking at Ding Sihan who turned her head, Lin Li was extremely guarded.

"Am I that scary? I'll hate you forever... forever..." Little ghost Ding was also at home in the haunted house.

Lin Li: "?"

I was the one who was scared, and I'm the one who's being hated. Is there any reason in this?

The haunted house continued to move forward, and similar startling mechanisms were constantly triggered.

Lin Li could see clearly from behind. Chen Yuying was the type who would clench her fists and cross them in front of her chest, hugging herself, and then lean against the wall to relieve her fear.

She wouldn't be like his stereotype of girls, who would hug people randomly when they were scared.

Damn it, the result was that Ding Sihan took advantage of the situation.

"Dadadadada!!" Suddenly, a crackling sound came from behind.

"I found you! Stay here!" Everyone turned their heads and saw a figure holding a chainsaw slowly appear, and then began to run towards everyone.

"The chase is on, everyone run!" Chen Tianming rationally concluded and immediately shouted.

Everyone immediately screamed and ran.

The couple at the back became the first target.

"Honey, save me! Honey!" The girl seemed to be too scared to walk. She squatted on the ground, holding her head, and called for her boyfriend with a trembling voice.

Lin Li stopped his leaving footsteps. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help but say, "Sister, your husband has already run away."

The moment the chainsaw man appeared, he disappeared with a whoosh. Even the cultivator Lin Li could barely catch his figure.

The woman: "?"

The woman opened her eyes, looked around, and after confirming this, the fear on her face instantly disappeared, leaving only an expressionless face.

She stood up, extended her hand towards the chainsaw man who had walked in front of her and was continuing to scare her with the chainsaw, and said coldly, "Give me the chainsaw."

Chainsaw man: "?"

"Quick!"

Perhaps because her aura was too strong, the chainsaw man dazedly gave her his prop.

The woman tied her hair up with the hair tie on her wrist, and then asked Lin Li, "Do you know which way he ran?"

Lin Li pointed in the direction.

The woman walked over with the chainsaw, her high heels clicking on the ground.

"Liu Zhipeng! Just you wait for me!"

R.I.P.

Although he didn't know what was going to happen, Lin Li mourned for that bro.

Then Lin Li walked in the direction he remembered the class president and the other two had run.

After walking two steps, Lin Li stopped.

He saw time rewind. Lin Li walked back, looked at the chainsaw man without a chainsaw, and asked sincerely, "Bro, since you don't have a chainsaw anymore, can you lend me your hood and clothes?"

The opportunity to take revenge on Ding Sihan has arrived!

Chainsaw man: "???"

"No, bro, are you guys all a bit too rude?!" The chainsaw man was really angry now. This was too disrespectful to ghosts. He was so angry that he even spoke human language.

It seems my aura is not as strong as that woman's just now.

"Lin Li? Lin Li!"

Just as Lin Li was about to reason with the chainsaw man, he heard Chen Yuying calling his name in the haunted house.

"Hey! What's wrong, class president? I'm here!" The chainsaw man was not as important as Chen Yuying, so Lin Li responded to the call and walked towards the source of the sound.

Walking around the corner, a weak light source swayed slightly. Lin Li saw Chen Yuying, and Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu beside her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Li asked gently.

"After our Ying Bao found that you didn't follow, she was worried that you, this guy, were scared or something had happened, so she insisted on coming back to find you.

Wanqiu and I said we didn't want to find you, this annoying ghost. If she wanted to find you, she could find you alone. Ying Bao also insisted on coming over, so we could only follow. Sigh, tsk tsk tsk."

Ding Sihan said sarcastically on the side.

Qu Wanqiu also smiled and nodded.

She didn't say anything, but seeing Chen Yuying insist, they would definitely accompany her.

Otherwise, how could they be best friends if they let a scared sister walk alone in a haunted house?

"I can't just leave Lin Li alone..." Chen Yuying said softly.

The flashlight swayed slightly, and the girl's cheeks were sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

Her eyes were always shining, like gems.

Lin Li was stunned for half a second, or a second, he couldn't count. Then he smiled and nodded:

"Thank you, class president."

He began to call Little Jing's name again and again in his heart.
