The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 96

The haunted house had a rough start. If not for Chu Ci being there, Qing Li would have definitely caught the fleeing chrysanthemum ghost and given it another chance to reappear.

 

As the pitch-black corridor narrows, Qing Li has no choice but to cling closely to Chu Ci, with the faulty light tube above them buzzing with electricity.

 

Suddenly, the lights flicker on and off, briefly illuminating the corridor, and Qing Li finally sees the dense, bloody handprints on the walls.

 

Some of the handprints are dried, while others are freshly made.

 

No wonder the air is filled with such a strong smell of blood.

 

Qing Li, who has experienced various big scenes, trembles slightly. She clutches Chu Ci’s arm and whispers, “Dr. Chu, this place is so scary, so terrifying!”

 

Chu Ci’s body stiffens a bit. Under the flickering light, his pale face looks even more eerie, and the stitched line on his lips adds to the spookiness. His voice, weak, emerges, “Um, I also find it quite terrifying.”

 

He tightens his grip on Qing Li’s hand.

 

Qing Li: (º?º*)

 

Why is Dr. Chu’s reaction different from what she imagined?

 

Shouldn’t he be hugging her tightly at this moment, comforting her with “Don’t be afraid, I am here”?

 

Or is it…

 

He’s also pretending?

 

And deliberately creating opportunities for her!

 

If that’s really the case…

 

Qing Li’s expression changes.

 

???

 

Man, since that’s the case, I’ll play along with you.

 

“Don’t be afraid, Ah Ci, I am here, I will protect you.”

 

Qing Li releases Chu Ci’s arm and, trying hard to stand on tiptoe, wraps her arms around his shoulders.

 

Chu Ci’s tightly pressed lips struggled to restrain a smile, his faint voice reaching Qing Li’s ears: “Then I’ll have to rely on Ah Li to protect me.”

 

Qing Li’s ears softened at the sound of this man calling her name, truly stirring her heart.

 

The haunted house staff lurking in the shadows, constantly ready to strike, were forced to swallow a big bowl of ‘dog food’.

 

Ah, they love these kinds of young couples.

 

They definitely planned to use every trick in the book to scare them witless, to let both sides see each other’s true colors in times of crisis, breaking them up if possible.

 

Qing Li and Chu Ci continued forward, down a dim corridor, blocked by a door.

 

The broken, damaged door was covered in chop marks, and bright red blood, like paint, was splattered on it. Under the dim light, it emitted a strange and terrifying aura.

 

“Creak—”

 

The door slowly opened automatically, with a bloody light seeping through the crack.

 

“Bang—”

 

“Bang—”

 

“Bang—”

 

A fat, bloated figure stood with its back to the door, holding a blood-stained kitchen knife, chopping down repeatedly.

 

With each rise and fall of the hand, bone fragments and flesh splattered.

 

Hearing the door open, the fat figure suddenly turned around.

 

It was a pig-faced creature with big ears, its mouth wide open in an exaggerated grin, white teeth glistening with bits of flesh, and on the table lay a dismembered corpse, its head chopped into several pieces, with brain matter splattered everywhere.

 

Seeing two people standing at the door, the eyes of the decapitated head on the table suddenly moved, emitting a sinister laugh: “Hehe, welcome dear guests.”

 

As the voice fell, the pig-headed monster swung its knife at Qing Li and Chu Ci…

 

Qing Li’s eyes turned cold in an instant. She pulled Chu Ci behind her and with a swift kick of her long leg, broke the arm of the pig-headed monster.

 

“Bang—”

 

The flying knife landed on the threshold, making a loud clanging noise.

 

The scene froze.

 

The atmosphere was quiet.

 

The pig-headed monster, holding its injured shoulder, slowly gathered tears in its bell-sized eyes.

 

“Whimpering, I’m just a staff member of the haunted house, why treat me like this~~~”

 

It pitifully picked up its arm from the ground and ran out of the room with tears.

 

Qing Li touched her nose awkwardly: “Er, I’ll be gentler next time.”

 

Chu Ci’s eyes moved slightly, smilingly said: “A Li is really amazing.”

 

Qing Li, a little embarrassed by the praise, picked up the knife from the threshold and threw it into her own space.

 

This thing could still fetch a couple of bucks selling as scrap!

 

Watching Qing Li blatantly steal haunted house props, the decapitated head on the table was dumbfounded.

 

“This is our haunted house prop, you can’t take it.”

 

Qing Li frowned, righteously said: “This was clearly discarded by the staff just now.”

 

The decapitated head: “……”

 

He had never seen such audacity!

 

Leaving the bloody room, Qing Li and Chu Ci arrived at a gloomy corridor.

 

A shocking trail of blood dragged from the entrance of the corridor to the end, the wooden floor faintly showing claw marks, and several broken fingers stuck in the gaps of the floorboards.

 

“Ah——”

 

A shrill scream echoed at the end of the empty corridor. Qing Li was a bit disappointed, feeling that the haunted house was too monotonous with only screams.

 

So, she borrowed a large speaker system.

 

“Lang is in the heart of Fang, the concubine is in the time of heartbreak, the moon knows my feelings so well……”

 

A hoarse, eerie, and mournful tune slowly emanated from the speakers.

 

“Ah ah ah——”

 

Suddenly, the shrill screams became even more intense!

 

In an instant, the lights in the corridor flickered on and off.

 

A tall, dark figure suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, carrying a bone-crushing hammer on his shoulder and dragging a corpse with his other hand. With each step he took, the heavy footsteps creaked on the floor.

 

As the distance closed, the shadow stopped.

 

He was wearing a black raincoat, and under the rain hat was a blurred face. He threw the corpse in front of Qing Li and Chu Ci, then raised the bone-crushing hammer and smashed it down.

 

“Bang——”

 

The head of the corpse was crushed, with blood and brain matter flying everywhere.

 

“Next… it’s your turn.”

 

He lifted his head, revealing a face crisscrossed with knife scars and flesh turned inside out, his torn mouth corners curling into a cruel smile.

 

Faced with such a terrifying scene, Qing Li pulled Chu Ci into her arms, comforting him: “Dr. Chu, don’t be afraid, hide in my arms. With me here, no one can hurt you.”

 

The nearly 1.9-meter-tall Chu Ci suddenly seemed small and frail in Qing Li’s arms.

 

Chu Ci’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but then he held back.

 

The raincoat killer, seeing that the other party was still in the mood to flirt at this time, felt his professional career insulted.

 

He raised the bone-crushing hammer, and in a hoarse and dry voice, angrily roared: “Those who show off their love should die!”

 

However, the next second…

 

Qing Li let go of Chu Ci and silently pulled out an even bigger hammer.

 

Raincoat killer: “……”

 

In the dark corridor, the raincoat killer, carrying the bone-crushing hammer, fled wildly. From time to time, he looked back to see if the person behind was catching up, and as he saw the distance closing, tears welled up in his eyes.

 

“Help, a murderer is chasing me……”

 

Throughout the long corridor, the miserable screams were incessant.

 

When Qing Li returned, she was carrying two hammers on her shoulder.

 

“The staff here are really nice, giving away gifts for free,” Qing Li said happily.

 

Chu Ci agreed: “Yeah, they are quite nice.”
