282 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
# Chapter 282: Wang Zijin's Little Schemes "Young folks, be careful, there's a madman here!" As soon as the elderly man in the wheelchair spoke, the entire room seemed to stir with an unseen wind, and even the background music shifted ominously. Su Qi had already perused the introduction earlier. After all, the haunted house was aptly named "Escape from the Asylum!" Though Su Qi couldn't fathom why a haunted house was designed to resemble an asylum, at this moment, she felt a genuine sense of unease creeping in. The elderly man's words came out slowly, which only heightened the eerie atmosphere. *Cough*, "This house has ten rooms. Young ones, you better run fast. There are three madmen in here, if—" BANG— Before he could finish, the elderly man's wheelchair was suddenly kicked aside. Emerging from behind the door was a man dressed in white with a grimacing face, wielding a chainsaw. He lunged at the fallen old man, and with a ‘buzzing' sound, a lot of liquid spattered on the four girls. Of course, it wasn’t blood. After all, this wasn’t a real killing; it was all for added thrill and entertainment. Hidden on the elderly actor's body was warm water, used for this very effect under the dim lighting, creating a chilling scene. Seeing this unfolding before her eyes, Su Qi only felt her scalp tingle. It was terrifying! Were such grotesque displays even appropriate? Wouldn't they risk getting shut down? Watching the big chainsaw with that tututut sound scratch against the old man, Wang Yun was the first to react, tugging the other three by their arms and dashing out of the room. Before Su Qi left, she noticed that the chainsaw man gave her a particularly menacing glance. Gulp— Su Qi swallowed nervously. She felt a wave of fear creep over her! Just then, the corridor suddenly quieted down, and the previously eerie background music vanished. Wang Yun felt a rush of excitement. This haunted house was truly impressive, despite the hefty price tag. It was astoundingly realistic. Noticing her sister and the young girls clutching onto her clothes for dear life, Wang Yun was quite pleased. Fearing the chainsaw man would rush at them, the four didn't have the easygoing demeanor they had when entering the maze. Their expressions were now tinged with seriousness. If there was light, one could see that Wang Zijin and Su Qi's faces were void of color. The earlier scene had indeed left a psychological shadow on them! With cautious, tiny steps, they moved down the hallway! Suddenly, the corridor split into a fork, and just then, a door creaked open behind them. Turning around, Su Qi was horrified to see the blood-drenched chainsaw man, his face obscured by a mosaic but bearing a frenzied grin, advancing toward them! And it seemed, to heighten the atmosphere, he revved the chainsaw again!!! Tutututut—Su Qi felt every hair on her body stand on end. She wasn't afraid of ghosts, but this was a "madman"! Su Qi felt an overwhelming urge to demand a refund; this was too torturous. Even her teeth were chattering! She couldn't just stand there and watch as the chainsaw man approached, paralyzed. Thinking quickly, Su Qi grabbed her wife Zijin's hand and urged, "Let's go!" Then, the four of them scattered? Due to the overwhelming darkness, Su Qi pulled Zijin to the right, while An Ning headed through the left door, and Wang Yun ran straight on! Indeed, they scattered and fled! But after taking a couple of steps, Su Qi realized that everyone was running in different directions. They were caught at the intersection, blocked by the "chainsaw man." Then, Su Qi and Wang Zijin saw the chainsaw man look at the three routes and four people, and after a moment of consideration, his gaze met Su Qi's! Then, with heavy steps, he moved toward her! And he revved his chainsaw again! Tutututut— Why? As the chainsaw man moved in her direction, Su Qi couldn't help but lament her luck, grabbing her wife Zijin's hand and dashing toward the next door! "You won't get away, ah—" Just before the door closed, Su Qi and Wang Zijin heard the chainsaw man's declaration! Actually, Su Qi overthought it. The chainsaw man chose their path not because of her bad luck, but because of the wife by her side. The chainsaw man was none other than Lin Fan, who was tasked with a mission by the club president that he intended to fulfill perfectly. With this in mind, he pressed a button, and the chainsaw echoed again! Su Qi and Wang Zijin, both of their clothes were already drenched in cold sweat! During their escape, Su Qi glanced at her wife Zijin! In this moment, she no longer exuded the calm and windswept demeanor of a student president. Instead, she seemed like a vulnerable young girl needing protection, which filled Su Qi with a sense of achievement! Though Su Qi had many complaints about the level of this haunted house, those would have to wait until they cleared it and gave feedback. The priority was to comfort her wife's emotions! Gently holding her wife Zijin's hand, Su Qi could still feel her slight trembling. Thinking for a moment, Su Qi decided to slowly embrace her wife Zijin! Since her wife was taller than Su Qi herself, and given the dim light, Su Qi didn't notice that her wife's lips had already curled into a smile, and soon, her hands embraced Su Qi in return. After all, this seldom display of clinging affection was rare! But just then, the sound of tututu echoed again from outside the door! The two had no choice but to abandon this comforting gesture, forced to escape and look for an exit! However, Su Qi found that both doors in the room were inexplicably locked! Listening to the nearing footsteps outside, Su Qi felt her hackles rise! In that moment, Su Qi discovered a bed with enough space to hide underneath! Quickly thinking, she pulled her wife Zijin along with her to hide under it! To avoid detection, the cramped space under the bed forced Su Qi and Wang Zijin to huddle closely. Just then, the door was violently opened with a thud! "Mm—" and then Su Qi heard her wife Zijin let out a sound of fear! Su Qi, hearing this, thought, "Oh no," as the two of them were so tightly huddled they couldn’t move their hands. Su Qi knew that a girl's scream could escalate quickly. In this urgent moment, she leaned forward slightly, and suddenly, the world fell silent! Wang Zijin, watching her sweet and adorable partner move in for a hug and give her a peck, found it amusing and held Su Qi even tighter, savoring her partner's scent! Chainsaw man Lin Fan, observing Su Qi's little legs wrapped in white socks sticking out from under the bed, couldn't help but rub his temples. This little girl wasn't hiding carefully at all! However, it seemed as though he had accomplished the task entrusted by the president! Their sisterly bond, after this little incident, should be closer now! Feigning ignorance, Lin Fan pressed the chainsaw button again, muttering to himself in an odd tone: "Where did they go—" And he left the room!
