Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon! Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 216: Clearing the Level (First Update)_2

Originally, Shen Xueqing, who had been too frightened to close her eyes tightly, suddenly felt the restraints on her body disappear, and she inexplicably relaxed.

Upon opening her eyes, Shen Xueqing saw that the crying female ghost in front of her had vanished, leaving the office empty except for a very happy Su Su.

“Sister Shen, we've cleared the level, Sister Shen is awesome, Sister Calm is awesome.”

Su Su jumped around excitedly on the spot, her face blooming like peach blossoms with joy, and her twin ponytails bouncing happily.

Shen Xueqing let out a long sigh, feeling as though she had just been fished out of water, her back soaked with cold sweat.

“We've cleared it?”

Shen Xueqing struggled to calm the turmoil in her heart. The experience the Ghost House had given her was too terrifying. The moment she was entangled by the crying female ghost, she really thought she was going to die.

“Sister Shen, you're too fierce; we're the only two who've cleared this building.”

Su Su hugged Shen Xueqing's arm. The place was so horrifying, and yet she somehow muddled through and cleared the level. She felt a sense of pride and joy bubbling up inside her.

“It was sheer luck; we were just more fortunate.”

Shen Xueqing took off her 3D glasses and a smile also appeared on her face.

“Congratulations to both of you for successfully clearing the challenge. Please follow me to exit now.”

Footsteps approached, and a staff member entered the room, looking at the two women with surprise in his eyes.

They, the staff, were well aware of the difficulty and terror of these Ghost Houses, but they did not expect that two girls would successfully clear one. It was a sight that truly commanded respect.

Shen Xueqing followed the staff member out of the Yuanqi Building and looked back after exiting the building.

The lights inside the building dimmed again, the broken windows swung back and forth in the wind, the dark interior remained impervious to the sun's rays, and a frightening atmosphere pervaded, giving the building the appearance of a sinister ghostly den.

“Sister Shen, look at them.”

At that moment, Su Su pointed to the side and playfully winked at Shen Xueqing.

Shen Xueqing turned her head and saw the players and tourists who had entered the Yuanqi Building with them, each one paler than the next, with expressions of people who had not yet recovered their spirits.

Some didn't even have the strength to stand up and were being helped out, while others were woozy and had fainted from fright, being carried out on stretchers.

As these people looked back at the Yuanqi Building, they would shiver occasionally, their eyes full of fear, evidently quite traumatized by the experience.

There was also a couple who had just gone in, and at that moment, the girlfriend was furiously scolding: “Chen Huijie, let's break up. You actually ran away and left me alone when we encountered the ghost. Do you have any idea what I went through? I see you for who you are now.”

“Xiao Hui, it wasn't like that; under those circumstances, I had no other choice.”

“Pah! You're such a jerk, stop talking. Don't come looking for me ever again.”

The girl's face was still streaked with fresh tears; she kicked her boyfriend hard and stormed off. Clearly, she had been severely betrayed by her boyfriend inside the Yuanqi Building; otherwise, she wouldn't have broken up with him as soon as she came out.

“Damn, does it need to be this exaggerated? What a mess they've been scared into. Is it even playable anymore?”

“Dude, is this Ghost House really that scary? It's only been a short time, and you've turned into this. You guys aren't actors hired by the organizers, are you?”

“I'll haunt your ghost; if you don't believe it, go in and try it yourself. If you can walk out without weak knees, I'll call you daddy.”

“Holy mother, I suddenly don't want to play anymore. Hey, beautiful, can I get a refund for the ticket I just bought?”

The tourists waiting outside to queue up were thrown into an uproar after seeing the state of this group of visitors.

They had never seen a Ghost House that could have such an effect, with nearly everyone who went in suffering various post-traumatic symptoms from excessive fright.

“A bunch of cowards, what's the point of a Ghost House if it doesn't scare people? Sell me tickets, three of them. I want to play in three different Ghost Houses consecutively.”

“Exactly, haven't you seen that two girls over there cleared the level? If even ladies can clear a Ghost House, how scary can it really be?”

“It's all just cheap tricks pretending to be supernatural. My heart is as hard as steel, ten thousand dollars, I'm going to earn that no matter what.”

But not everyone was scared, and those young people in search of thrills were only more curious and eager to experience the Ghost House for themselves.

Young people have always been full of bravado, thinking themselves invincible, completely oblivious to their own limits.

“Bro, you guys are seriously brave.”

Su Su looked at the boastful youths with a hint of pity in her eyes, giving a thumbs-up to the brave soul who dared to purchase three tickets, hoping that after they emerged from the Ghost House, they would still retain their competitive spirit.

“Please follow me, our chairman will personally give you the reward.”

After resting for a while, the staff led Shen Xueqing and Su Su away from the entrance of the Yuanqi Building to the plaza of Nightmare Park.

Many shops and stores were nearby, where weary park-goers could rest, shop, and eat.

At the moment, there were only a few people gathered in the plaza who had successfully cleared the game, just like Shen Xueqing.

Su Jie, who had personally attended the opening ceremony, was holding several stacks of cash, which caused quite a stir among the onlookers.

This was ten thousand dollars after all. Although they had heard about Jieke Group's promotion, seeing the cold hard cash in person was heart-stirring.

“It's really ten thousand dollars, what a windfall!”

“I'm signing up right away, this is like picking up money!”

“So many people tried, but only a few got the money. The difficulty is insane, they really thought it would be easy to win!”

The spectators below looked on with fervent desire, wishing they could take their place.

The reward for clearing the Ghost House challenge was indeed ten thousand dollars, no mere talk.

Shen Xueqing was curious about the man before her, was this really the chairman of the Jieke Group? He looked too young.

“All seven of you have courageously cleared the Ordinary Level Ghost House and will receive ten thousand dollars each. We keep our promises. In addition, you now qualify to challenge the Ghost Houses of Hell Level and Unsolvable Level. If anyone wants to try, you can sign up now.”

Su Jie handed over the money to the few, saying cheerfully, knowing that with these examples of winners, the haunted houses would attract even more participants – a little financial outlay was nothing.

“Excuse me, is the reward really one million dollars for clearing the Unsolvable Level Ghost House?”

Suddenly, a man's voice rang out, and Su Jie couldn't help but look over.

Min Xingyao felt a bit anxious, he was well aware of Su Jie's status in East Qin State, and though he was lucky enough to have cleared the challenge and earned ten thousand dollars, more money would ensure better treatment for his mother-in-law's tumor.

Su Jie smiled lightly and said, “Of course, if you can clear it, one million dollars will be paid immediately.”

“Then I want to sign up.”

Min Xingyao raised his hand, even though he knew the likelihood of success was slim; the Ordinary Level Ghost House had nearly terrified him to death, and he had only succeeded by chance. The Unsolvable Level was leagues harder, but even with just a slim probability, he wasn't willing to miss out.

“Count me in, with one million dollars, I'd be rich if I won.”

A few others nearby also expressed their interest, and Shen Xueqing raised her hand as well, purely out of curiosity about what made this level of Ghost House so terrifying.

“I'm not going.”

Su Su shook her head repeatedly, knowing her limits.

Out of the seven people, three chose to attempt the Unsolvable Level Ghost House, while the remaining four were too traumatized to try again.

“Take them to the wedding ghost house.”

Su Jie instructed the staff, shaking his head with a slight amusement as he watched the group depart, underestimating the competitive spirit of humanity.

Well, it would serve as some amusement for the Ghost Bride, rather than having her be bored alone.

About fifteen minutes later, the staff drove Shen Xueqing, Min Xingyao, and one other person in a beach cart to the Unsolvable Level Ghost House, the wedding ghost house.

From afar, they could see a vast expanse of interconnected structures, a smaller version of Han Mansion with intricately carved buildings, oozing sophistication and extravagance. Two majestic stone lions sat on either side of the red-painted gate, lanterns hanging high.

The layout here mirrored Han Mansion, a residence specially created by Su Jie for the Ghost Bride.
