After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Fujiwara Chika waved her hands and looked at Natsukawa Kanade with a look of disdain, then she skipped and ran to find Shinomiya Kaguya to cuddle with her, "Kaguya-chan, I'll come and play with you when I'm done with work."

"..."

Seeing that Fujiwara Chika had made up her mind, Natsukawa Kanade had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade her.

There was no other way, so he had to try to find a way to eliminate the possible negative impact of this performance.

Shinomiya Kaguya was still being held by Fujiwara Chika, so Natsukawa Kanade simply went to the staff member who was helping people punch in and told him:

"If someone comes to check in and asks you who designed the event, just report it to the Student Union. If they still ask you who it is specifically, just tell them—"

"President Xiachuan proposed it."

151. Don’t do this, I’m scared

After successfully passing the checkpoint, Xiachuan Zou and his companion went to find the check-in clerk. However, they were surprised that the clerk did not stamp the card they brought with them. Instead, he gave them a pair of small bracelets with a few small words engraved on them, which seemed to be "sincere" or something.

Of course, Miss Sha Diao accepted it with a look of joy. Although Xia Chuan Zou was a little puzzled, she certainly would not dampen her interest and accepted it as well. When she asked why she didn't punch in and stamp their cards, she got this answer from them -

"Because this project is actually an additional one. Secretary Fujiwara said that it will not be included as part of the game test, but there will be extra rewards if you pass it."

"Okay, thank you for telling me..." Xiachuan Zou nodded, indicating that he understood.

Let’s not talk about the content of the game for now, but Fujiwara did a good job in removing it from the list of challenges.

After all, according to tradition, the so-called test items should of course be things like ghosts, spirits or monsters, using these non-existent fantasy things to test people's courage in dark environments.

But if it is like the level designed by Fujiwara, then what is being tested is completely different. It is clearly not "courage" but the so-called "human nature".

As we all know, "human nature" is the thing that cannot stand the test, so Xiachuan Zou just suggested that they expose as many flaws as possible during the performance.

This is certainly not to help other people with their relationships. It is simply to change the nature of the game, turning it from a test of human nature into a rather interesting performance.

Just like he said before, anyone with a little emotional intelligence and IQ would definitely not be able to see through the truth in that situation.

And when he learned that this was specifically aimed at the group of people who chose their partners on their own, he realized that his worries were probably unnecessary - you have the right to choose, so wouldn't you be stupid enough to think that this is really happening?

He was relieved about this part, but what about the other contents?

There are more than just this one module of entertainment projects in the entire venue, and he handed over all the design parts to the game department, while the supervision part was handled by Fujiwara Chika. This gave him such a big surprise at the beginning, and he dared not even imagine what would happen next!

One could even say that he now regrets handing the matter over to the game department. After all, those guys have a criminal record and often design shitty games to harm people...

"Kaguya, I'm afraid we need to speed up." Natsukawa Kanade said seriously.

"Eh? Why do you say that suddenly?" Miss Sha Diao was still immersed in the joy of receiving the gift.

The two bracelets that clearly looked like a pair always reminded her of one thing - the bracelets were a pair, and she and the president were also a pair... This was a perfect match!

The next second, she heard the president tell her that they had to speed up.

What does that mean? Doesn't the president want to enjoy some more time alone with her?

"To be honest, I'm a little worried about what the content of the game will be like later..." Natsukawa Kanade said truthfully.

Then he explained to the other party what he was worried about.

"Uh...it shouldn't be that serious, right?" Shinomiya Kaguya seemed a little hesitant.

Although Fujiwara is indeed a bit unreliable, she would forget to bring her wallet when traveling, get lost alone during school trips, and her carefully arranged plans would be messed up by this idiot...

"No, President, you are right. We should indeed carefully review the game content they designed." Shinomiya Kaguya said seriously.

Although the bracelets were beautiful and she really liked the pair that was given to her, she had to stand aside and not let that idiot Fujiwara ruin the date she had been looking forward to for so long!

She also didn't want that idiot's weird involvement to be mixed into her precious memories with the president!

So the two of them reached a consensus and their pace quickened at the same time.

Speechless all the way.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the next project point, and a house that was obviously designed as a level appeared in front of us.

In addition to Xiachuan Zou and the other person, there were also members from several other teams here. When they saw the two of them coming, they all greeted him in a low voice.

"Do we have to queue up here? Why don't you guys go in?" Xia Chuan Zou asked puzzledly.

"Uh...actually..." There was a boy who obviously knew something, but just when he was about to explain it to him, he heard a series of shocking screams coming from the other side of the house.

"Aa ...

"Mom, I want to go home, woooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Don't come over!!!"

“……”So Xiachuan Zou fell silent.

He was not frightened by the shrill screams inside. Instead, he felt that it was normal to hear such sounds, because this was the normal development of the test of courage competition.

But is it necessary to make it so...scary?

It felt like the people involved were not just scared to an ordinary degree. It was more like returning home one day and finding that all of his uncle's treasures, which had been stored for a long time, had been turned out and stacked together, and then his parents and relatives and friends were sitting on the sofa, looking at him with serious faces...

Even though the feelings are different, the severity is clearly the same, and both of them want to start over!

"Who is the person in charge here?" Xia Chuan Zou asked with a complicated expression.

"It seems to be inside a room in this house..." the kind-hearted student explained, and then asked him with a cautious expression.

"President...are you going in?"

"..."

Then can he still say no? Natsukawa Kanade thought.

With so many pairs of eyes looking at him expectantly, he couldn't say anything to back down.

"After all, I am also a participant, so of course I have to go in and experience it." Xiachuan Kanade replied seriously.

Then there was warm applause from the audience.

"Great, you are worthy of being the president!"

"Come on, President! We support you!"

Even the kind-hearted student in front of him said to him with tears in his eyes: "Wow, the president is so great... I'm counting on you, President!"

"..."

Is he really a little scared by your behavior? What on earth is in there? Why do you make it seem like we are going to be separated forever?

Natsukawa Kanade was almost unable to hold it back, but unfortunately, it was impossible to go back on his word after agreeing to do so in public, so he looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and winked at her, hoping that she could find a reason to slow down or something.

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at him and found that he was blinking frantically, as if he was sending a signal, and she understood his thoughts in an instant.

"Of course, I will participate with the president and will never give up halfway!" Shinomiya Kaguya said firmly.

This is her, this is the awareness of the women of the Shinomiya family!

I will never back down from the challenge. I will stand by the president and be his solid backing!

"..."

Well, now he's really screwed.

152. It’s a thrilling chase!

Under everyone's expectant gazes, with his staunch supporters giving speeches beside him, there was no way Natsukawa Kanade could escape the fate of falling into the tiger's mouth.

Since that was the case, he could only accept his fate and stand on the stairs leading to the "haunted house" with Kaguya Shinomiya.

It is certainly correct to call it a haunted house, but not in the ordinary sense, but in the literal sense - instead of a door, there is an upper face of an evil ghost on the eaves of the house. The originally rugged path has now completely disappeared, and the last trace is clearly imprinted on the throat leading to the belly of the evil ghost. The bloody mouth is enough to make people feel physically uncomfortable at a glance.

However, even though the entrance of the house was decorated in such a creepy appearance, Natsukawa Kanade still didn't feel anything.

Nothing but familiarity.

Whether it was when he was pursuing them before, or when he was in the club and responded to everyone's call, he had experienced amusement park projects like this haunted house, and quite a few times.

Naturally, I was scared a lot in the beginning, but as I experienced it more and more, I gradually started to think that it was just like that.

Eventually, you get used to it and no longer have any extreme reactions or be obsessed with the experience after it's over.

But despite this, he still remains extremely vigilant about this type of facility, because he knows very well that the main feature of amusement projects like this is a "sudden surprise."

When you are completely off guard, when you think you have reached a safe zone, when you think you are so scared that the staff will not pay special attention to you - suddenly some inexplicable things jump out and scare you.

Some of them not only want to scare you but also chase you. The more you run, the happier they are and the more they chase you. It can only be said that they have a big explosion of S attributes.

Of course, Natsukawa Kanade would definitely not run away. Usually, he would have a stress reaction when someone suddenly appeared, but he would calm down afterwards. However, the girls he brought with him would not be so calm.

Not only will they all be trembling with fear, some will even be so scared that they will squat on the spot, holding their heads and trembling...

But this is still good. After all, he has some reaction and knows how to comfort the other person. What I'd be afraid of is that the other person is the type who would rather save face than live in pain. He is obviously so scared that he can't move, but he insists on holding on and refuses to say anything. As a result, after experiencing this all the way, just motivating his teammates can make him feel mentally exhausted.

So in comparison, those girls who can run away can make him feel more at ease - at least she can run! And running more can also help them end this bad journey earlier.

I don’t know what type of person Kaguya is, Natsukawa Kanade thought.

"We're about to go in, Kaguya, be mentally prepared."

"Well, I'm ready, President."

So the two of them stepped forward together and accepted the test.

Although the scenes are all in darkness, compared to the outside of the house where there are a few people and flashlights everywhere, the inner room is so dark that you can hardly see your hand in front of you.

After his eyes adjusted a little, Xia Chuan Zou could see the things around him clearly. However, compared to what he saw with his eyes, the sound of unhurried footsteps coming from not far away attracted his attention more.

Is this a show of force? There is no time to react at all.

Natsukawa Kanade frowned, then pulled Shinomiya Kaguya behind him and stared in the direction where the sound came from.

The footsteps came from inside the house and did not stop from the moment they entered the door until the owner of the footsteps appeared in front of them, limping with a worn-out cane.

"Heh, another pair of reckless challengers."

The person who spoke was a hunchbacked old lady with dark spots all over her face. Her skin was terribly dark and her face was covered with wrinkles so deep that it seemed as if they could squeeze a fly to death. She just gave the two people a look of contempt, then shook her head, as if she was going to leave without saying anything.

Seeing this, Xia Chuan Zou quickly asked, "Old lady, what should we do to leave here?"

He originally thought that this was intended to scare them right from the start, but he didn't expect it to unfold like an RPG game. He certainly couldn't just let this obviously NPC-like character go. He had to at least ask for information first.

"Want to leave? Oh, you can't do that! Unless... you can find the soul of the person who died unjustly here! As long as you can find her, you can escape from here."

"Uh... after we find her..." Xiachuan Zou wanted to ask something else, but suddenly heard unusually heavy footsteps behind him.

Step by step, it was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart directly.

"I seem to... smell the breath of a living person..."

Along with a burst of heavy breathing, a teeth-grinding creaking sound was heard, as if the floor of the house was collapsing piece by piece after being stepped on. But when you listened carefully, it seemed as if something was being chewed, and the creaking sound was unbearable, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"I am starving!"

"..."

Xiachuan Kanade looked at Shinomiya Kaguya, and she happened to look over at him, so the two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Run!"

Although they had not seen what was causing the heavy footsteps behind them, it was not difficult to guess from hearing those strange noises and speeches, as well as referring to the professional attire of the old lady, that it was definitely not something worthy of their attention.

Fortunately, neither of them is a fool. They have understood now that the content of this challenge is to find a ghost hiding in this big house while being chased by the ghost behind them, and escape from this haunted house with the help of the other party. The so-called help should refer to stamping on their cardboard.

"President, what should we do now?" asked Kaguya Shinomiya. It was her first time to experience such a game content, and she became very interested in it for a moment, so she completely forgot why she got involved in the first place.

"Do we need to split up and act separately? If we are looking for someone, this seems to be more efficient..."

"No, let's act together." Xiachuan Zou shook his head.

"The rules don't require us to complete it within a certain time. We can just go through the rooms here one by one. The only thing we need to pay attention to is that thing. We must not be caught by it." Xiachuan Zou analyzed.

"So instead of acting separately, we might as well go together. This way, at least we can take care of each other."
