Chapter 1268: Chapter 1257: Tongue-Pulling Hell
I’m afraid only those who are completely loaded would be willing to pay for a Fast Pass like this.
However, after the attendant’s explanation, the tourists waiting in line no longer continued to make a fuss. After all, the attendant told them that if they were willing to spend five hundred yuan to buy a Fast Pass, they too could enjoy this privilege.
Seeing that the anger of the tourists had been calmed, the attendant guarding the door finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if he couldn’t calm the public’s anger, the consequences would be hard for him to accept.
Ning Fan, Zhou Wei, and Xu Xiaoqing walked into the Ghost Domain together.
Once they entered the gate of the Ghost Domain, the staff standing outside directly closed the outer door.
Bam!
Though the sound of the door closing wasn’t loud, it was extraordinarily resounding in the sealed environment, startling Xu Xiaoqing right away.
However, Xu Xiaoqing immediately realized that it was the sound of the door closing, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the door was closed, the surrounding lights gradually brightened, but these lights were an eerie green!
This eerie green light was like ghost fire, looking somewhat unsettling in the darkness.
“Ah!” Xu Xiaoqing suddenly screamed and hid behind Ning Fan.
“What’s wrong, little girl?” Ning Fan asked curiously. Although the green light was creepy, it wasn’t that terrifying, was it?
Xu Xiaoqing buried her head behind Ning Fan like an ostrich, pointing ahead with trembling fingers and said, “There… there’s a ghost!”
“Where’s the ghost?” Both Ning Fan and Zhou Wei looked in the direction Xu Xiaoqing was pointing.
Finally, Ning Fan realized what Xu Xiaoqing meant by a ghost.
In front of them stood a grotesque little ghost, its face covered in blood, even with bright red blood around its mouth, as if it had just finished eating someone.
Due to the dim light earlier, they hadn’t seen the little ghost standing in front of them. However, the eerie green light had barely made it visible now.
“Damn!” Zhou Wei was startled by this little ghost and couldn’t help but curse.
Compared to Zhou Wei, Ning Fan appeared more composed, merely a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected to encounter a ghost, but it wasn’t enough to scare him.
After all, Ning Fan had seen far more terrifying scenes than this little ghost.
“Welcome to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Here, you will experience unprecedented terror. I hope you can make it to the end…” the little ghost said slowly.
However, it was clear that the little ghost’s voice was altered using a special microphone, making it sound very deep yet with a sharp edge, causing goosebumps all over.
“Let’s go,” Ning Fan said as he raised his leg to move forward, but as soon as he stepped, he felt a hand holding him from behind.
Without thinking, Ning Fan knew who the owner of this hand was.
“Little girl, let’s go.” Ning Fan turned his head and looked at Xu Xiaoqing helplessly.
Xu Xiaoqing pouted her lips and nodded, saying, “You walk ahead, I’ll follow behind you to guard your back!”
Ning Fan couldn’t help but laugh but still nodded and said, “Alright, but if you get scared, don’t tell your sister it was me who brought you. I don’t want to be scolded to death!”
“You’re the one who will get scared!” Xu Xiaoqing retorted defiantly, looking at Ning Fan indignantly.
Ning Fan didn’t bother with Xu Xiaoqing and continued moving forward.
Seeing Ning Fan continue moving ahead, Zhou Wei swallowed hard. Actually, Zhou Wei was pretty scared, but he had to brace himself and go forward. If he didn’t go forward, wouldn’t it mean he was more cowardly than Ning Fan?
The path ahead wasn’t wide, but it was wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
The sides of the path were lined with lamps emitting eerie green light, appearing extremely unsettling.
Every now and then, screams or shrieks would echo through the corridor, nearly causing Xu Xiaoqing to jump in fright.
Even Zhou Wei next to her was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat, looking like a startled mouse. If someone appeared costumed as a ghost to scare him, Zhou Wei would likely scatter in panic.
However, Ning Fan wasn’t interested in scaring Zhou Wei; he wanted to see what tricks Zhou Wei had planned.
As the three continued forward, they came upon a door—an ancient-style large wooden door, black with several bright red handprints on it.
“President Zhou, you open the door,” Ning Fan turned his head with a half-smile, looking at Zhou Wei.
“No no, you go ahead, you should open it,” Zhou Wei quickly waved his hands, refusing to go forward and open it. He was afraid that if he opened it, a ghost would jump out to scare him!
After all, such tactics were a staple in haunted houses.
Ning Fan didn’t press further. If he forced Zhou Wei out of the Ghost Domain now, wouldn’t the subsequent journey be too dull?
Ning Fan turned back to the massive wooden door in front, extending his hand to gently press against it, pushing with his strength.
The wooden door appeared extremely heavy but wasn’t very weighty; Ning Fan managed to open it without much effort.
Once Ning Fan opened the wooden door, the scene inside made Zhou Wei and Xu Xiaoqing, who was peeking from behind Ning Fan, turn pale with fright.
Inside the wooden door was a vast room filled with numerous instruments. Some humans were bound to those instruments, and many green-faced, fanged little ghosts wielded pincers, pulling the tongues of the humans.
The tongues of those humans were stretched nearly half a meter, yet they hadn’t come off, and their faces displayed expressions of extreme agony.
However, those humans were tied to wooden chairs, with limbs immobile, forced to endure the tongue-pulling!
But Ning Fan soon realized that these humans undergoing the tongue-pulling and those green-faced, fanged little ghosts were all incredibly lifelike statues!
“Welcome to the First Layer of Hell, known as Tongue-Pulling Hell!”
As the three observed everything in the room, a heavy and solemn voice slowly resonated!
