Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Eldest Senior Brother Locks Down He Jinyin!

As everyone knows, almost every high school in Huaxia is built on an old graveyard. Without this setup, probably more than half of campus horror novels wouldn’t be able to continue.

Ise Yu Yuzhijin subconsciously took a step back, tugging on Shirakawa Sawahei’s sleeve and whispered, "Shirakawa, about the graveyard legend and stuff, it’s probably fake, right..."

"The school shouldn’t be that careless..."

Shirakawa Sawahei said helplessly, "You actually believe that."

"Hey~ classmate, it’s better to believe it than not, this is something our Mysterious Detective Agency discovered after a lot of research~" a staff member maintaining order in the line said mysteriously.

"..."

Even though I know you’re trying to manipulate customers psychologically, could you please be mindful of your target? This girl is about to shrink into a little quail beside me.

Shirakawa Sawahei didn’t argue with the staff. This kind of thing is just for fun, and seriously debating whether it’s true or not is something only a fool would do.

"Didn’t you say Tachibana was nearby? Where is she?"

"Don’t know, maybe Minister Sakurazawa and her group have already come out... why don’t we go ask how they felt?"

"Let’s not, asking them would ruin the fun of the haunted house."

"True, so Shirakawa, don’t you dare get so scared and run off later."

"I should be the one saying that."

As they talked, the line in front of them slowly disappeared into the haunted house, and now and then a girl’s scream would come, adding to the ominous atmosphere of the house.

"Two tickets, please! I’m going in with him!" The cute little Ise Yu covered her ears, hurriedly handing over the change.

"Welcome, once enough people have gathered, you’ll be led in by the staff."

Hearing this, Ise Yu Yuzhijin couldn’t help but relax: "Oh, so we go in as a group, why didn’t you say so~"

But Shirakawa Sawahei thought, moving as a group isn’t necessarily a good sign.

Sure enough, once inside the setup of the haunted house, the group scattered into threes and fours, each led by one person. It looked like they were staff hidden among the visitors.

Shirakawa Sawahei seemed to understand the core selling point of the D-Class haunted house’s horror — most people tend to follow the crowd. When there’s a leader, most people won’t feel scared.

But when even the leader starts to turn and run, many people will often do the same without hesitation, without the courage to look back.

On the other hand, this hidden staff member can also provide certain psychological cues to optimize the scare effect.

Judging by this, the person who designed this haunted house deserves some credit for their cleverness.

He walked along, glancing around at various horror elements that seemed rather mild to him. Like a mannequin moving suddenly in a dissection room, a sudden cold draft at the back of the neck, or a loose fake floor tile underfoot.

His expression was unfluctuating, and he even wanted to laugh a bit.

Though he found it nothing special, the same couldn’t be said for Ise Yu Yuzhijin beside him. Stepping on a loose fake tile or a suddenly blowing curtain could make her jump, and she would cling tightly to Shirakawa Sawahei’s arm.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Thanks to Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s jittery reactions, this group of visitors got scared quite a bit too. Shirakawa Sawahei occasionally thought during the tour that this girl might actually be a shill hired by the D-Class haunted house.

Given her perfect performance, she should at least get her ticket money waived.

Despite being scared like this, the cute little Ise Yu still had no intention of obediently closing her eyes, she was in a phase of being mischievous yet afraid of being punished, also known as recklessly flirting with danger.

Shirakawa Sawahei wanted to urge her to close her eyes and hold onto his clothes while moving forward, but she wouldn’t listen.

"No way! Shirakawa, we can’t be so cowardly! No matter what difficulties we face... we shouldn’t be afraid!"

Shirakawa Sawahei: Ha, women, they sure talk tough when they’re clinging to my hand.

Luckily, the D-Class haunted house wasn’t too big. After passing through a few classrooms, there was finally a staff member standing at a set-up corridor guiding the exiting visitors.

"Guests who have finished, please proceed this way, don’t crowd..."

"It’s over already?" Ise Yu Yuzhijin peeked between her fingers covering her eyes at the clearly lit exit, feeling reassured.

"Not bad~ It’s not that scary. I don’t know why some couples get scared to the point of breaking up."

As she spoke, her footsteps were light as she walked in front of Shirakawa Sawahei, looking fearless. Anyone who saw her like this wouldn’t think she was the same girl who acted like a quail and clung to Shirakawa Sawahei in fright inside the haunted house.

Around them, people were walking in twos and threes, and many began discussing their haunted house experience, slightly excited, seemingly thinking D-Class’s effort paid off well.

When everyone was most relaxed, the hidden staff among the crowd subtly slowed down, gradually moving to the back of the group.

They weren’t interested in joining these people for the final surprise; although they’d seen it many times during rehearsals, it was still quite terrifying.

A blood-stained school uniform-clad corpse suddenly descended from above, hanging right in the middle of the crowd’s path.

At the same time, a piercing sound effect played in sync, as if the whole group was suddenly thrust into a horror movie scene.

Many were within just one or two steps of the suddenly appearing horror setup.

Shirakawa Sawahei only heard a thunderous scream in his ears, the girls around cried out, looking for something to lean on. Those with companions hugged for warmth, those with boyfriends quickly shrank into their boyfriend’s arms.

The cute little Ise Yu was different, she calmly jumped onto Shirakawa Sawahei, wrapping herself tightly around him.

If this were described using a commentary term, it would probably be: senior brother locks He Jinyin!

No, it’s He Jinyin locking senior brother!

Striking when everyone was most relaxed and unguarded had quite a significant effect. Shirakawa Sawahei did notice the staff disappearing, but he thought they were going to guide the next group, never expecting this move.

The music gradually faded, the horror mannequin was slowly retracted, waiting to trap the next group of victims. Shirakawa Sawahei stood there, helplessly reminding,

"It’s over already, Ise Yu..."

However, Ise Yu Yuzhijin seemed to be scared stupid, refusing to lift her head no matter what. Shirakawa Sawahei sighed, having no choice but to carry the cute little Ise Yu out of the haunted house in that strange position.
