Chapter 73 Haunted House (Happy Lantern Festival)
As expected, it's a monster egg.
When Tang Zijun saw the woman from before, she was a little puzzled. Like the greedy ones, those inhuman guys from the heretical demons would never let go of prey that was right in front of them.
If that woman were to be tainted by the aura of a heretic demon, she would inevitably be marked by the demon and then die a gruesome death on the spot sometime in the night. This is the normal procedure.
It is also a basic means by which evil forces harm lives.
However, now that Tang Zijun has seen the strange beast egg with its surface constantly wriggling, all her questions have been answered.
Xiaobai once said that the eggs of the alien beasts would not be discovered by humans before they hatched, and even magical girls and spirit beasts could not detect this hidden aura.
This is the main reason why, despite the presence of heretical demons in this escape room, no one has been injured or killed.
Because those guys in the other world clearly used this place as an 'incubator' for the eggs of alien beasts.
Using the escape room setting, the players' fear and terror become the best nourishment for cultivating the alien beast eggs. Since the alien beast eggs cannot be seen by humans before hatching, this also ensures their safety.
After all, neither the players nor the NPCs would have imagined that a strange, invisible entity would be lurking in the corner of this dark and terrifying room.
I never imagined that heretics and demons possessed such wisdom; it's truly astonishing.
If I hadn't discovered it, once the monster egg hatched, the whole street would probably have been affected. At that point, the magical girl and the other world would probably no longer be able to hide.
Thinking this, Tang Zijun ignored the frightening traps and headed straight for the direction of the strange beast eggs.
Just as he took a few steps forward, a cabinet not far away suddenly opened, and a figure lunged toward Tang Zijun's position.
Tang Zijun instinctively dodged to the side.

Boom!
The next moment, the figure crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Tang Zijun silently lowered her head.
Looking at the mannequin that immediately kowtowed to him without saying a word, he was speechless.
"What are you doing, bro? I'm doing serious business."
What I'm saying is, even though this is an escape room, could you please put all these exciting little games aside for now?
Tang Zijun sighed. She hadn't expected there to be an infrared device here. The other party must have sensed that she had reached the designated location, which was why it triggered the mechanism inside the cabinet at the same time.
Shaking her head slightly, Tang Zijun lifted her foot, stepped over the dummy, and continued walking towards the location of the alien beast egg.
Just then, another loud bang inexplicably came from the cabinet behind them.
Boom!
The eerie music was mixed with screams from women, and all the surrounding devices were activated at that moment. Drawers were inexplicably pulled out and slammed onto the ground.
The dimly lit environment suddenly became lively.
Tang Zijun frowned slightly and turned around abruptly.
Then you see a mannequin standing upright in the half-open cabinet, looking just like a display mannequin in a shop window.
Tang Zijun's gaze fell on the motionless dummy lying on the ground, and then she moved her eyes to the dummy inside the cabinet.
The cabinet wasn't very big; it would take up all the space if you put a dummy in it. Plus, this was a puzzle game, so there weren't any secret passages for NPCs to enter or exit.
That is
Before Tang Zijun could figure it out, a fist slammed towards her head.
Tang Zijun seemed to have anticipated the other party's reaction long ago. Before the fist could get close, she flashed behind the other party.
"As expected, each beast egg is guarded by a corresponding heretical demon."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun raised her hand to block the opponent's attack, then turned around and kicked the dummy away. The dummy crashed heavily onto the desk, and blood-stained photos flew everywhere.
"That speed and power."
Tang Zijun flexed her wrists and spoke calmly.
"You're not just some ordinary grunt or scum, are you? Are you an elite, or even a captain-level soldier?"
The dummy did not respond, but instead twisted its body in a way that a human could not do, and charged at Tang Zijun again.
"Well, I've met the quiet type a few times before."
Tang Zijun shrugged, and the dummy rushed in front of her. The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows rapidly in the confined space.
Inside the monitoring room.
The young man, who was slacking off and playing on his phone, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by his colleague.
"what?"
The young man was getting impatient.
But his colleague stared at the monitor screen in horror. "Hey, look! Someone's attacking our staff again!"
"Huh?" The young man was immediately annoyed when he heard this. It would be fine if it were a male colleague, but today's NPCs were all young ladies!
"I'd like to see which fool is doing this."
The young man couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence.
On the monitor screen, a full-blown brawl had already broken out in the secret room.
The latest novel is first published here!
A player wearing a mask and a disheveled figure wearing a wig exchanged blows, neither holding back, their punches landing with brutal force, making for a thrilling spectacle.
No, now doesn't seem like the time to have fun.
"Are you sure this is really the surveillance footage from our secret room, and not footage from the Jackie Chan Stunt Team's martial arts choreography?"
"If you're looking at the environment, it's ours," my colleague said dryly.
"Then what are you waiting for!?"
The young man jumped three feet high.
"Why aren't you stopping them? The stuff inside is so expensive, who's going to pay if they break it?!"
Upon hearing this, the male colleague shuddered and stood up, preparing to enter the secret room through the back door to stop the two who were fighting.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as he was about to run out of the monitoring room, the young man suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong, bro?" The male colleague stopped, looking at the young man with a puzzled expression, wondering why he was stopping him.
Then he saw that the young man's eyes were fixed on the monitor opposite him, his face was deathly pale, as if he were immersed in extreme fear.
His throat involuntarily swallowed, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, tracing the lines of his pale cheeks.
Her gaze slowly shifted towards her male colleague. The young man's pupils trembled, and he stammered.
"This, this, the escape room, what's the theme?"
"The creepy photo studio, huh? I just went to recreate it, you forgot?"
The male colleague answered instinctively.
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, and a chill ran up his spine from the soles of his feet.
Then the young man continued, his voice trembling.
"If it's just an office, where would the staff come from?"
I wish everyone a belated Happy New Year.
