Chapter 88 - Tough Choices

"What is it!" The others hastily asked.

"The ghost's weakness is that it can't hunt two people at the same time. It can only hunt one at a time." I looked at them and said.

"What kind of weakness is that?" Luo Xi looked at me indignantly and said.

"No, what I mean is. It can't hunt two at the same time. So every time it hunts someone, another person follows him. Then the ghost might give up hunting." I looked at her and said.

"What kind of idea is that? Isn't one dead person enough? Why do you need two?" Luo Xi looked at me with a face full of distrust. On the contrary, Wei and the others decisively supported me.

"Boss, let's do this. We have no other way out!" Wei said.

"Keep going, I hope my guess is right." I looked at them and said. Then we continued to start walking.

Soon we came to a room that was full of weirdness and it was already at the end, there was no more way around. And just then Wen Zhu suddenly pointed to the wall and said, "Look, there's a button here!"

I hurriedly turned the flashlight around and saw a button, and among the buttons there was an iron cage. This iron cage is rusty. It looked like it was full of blood.

"This room is already the end, could this iron cage be the elevator," I couldn't help but say.

"It should be right, this iron cage is the elevator. Through it you should be able to go up to the second floor." Fu Ling walked over and looked around and said. The surrounding area was already a dead end. We had no other choice but the cage in front of us.

"The elevator is actually a cage like this, it looks really scary." Wen Zhu said, and then gently opened the door of the cage. Along with the cage opened, we looked at the cage face to face.

"It seems that we can only go up, and the only way to get to the second floor is through the elevator." I looked at the cage, then my face changed slightly, and I suddenly thought of something. The eyes could not help but glance at the button on the wall. The brow furrowed at once.

"What's wrong boss?" My gaze made Wen Zhu a little surprised. Could not help but ask.

"If I'm not wrong, the button over there on the wall is what can control the elevator's ascent while descending. But now there is a problem." I looked at the button and said.

"In the past that button was supposed to be pushed by a staff member and then let the player go up to the second floor. But now the haunted house no longer has a staff." I said with an ugly face.

After I finished, the faces of the people around me changed. Because this means that there must be a person who will stay downstairs. Because that's the only way to start the elevator.

But who would want this job? After all, staying downstairs would mean a complete loss of life. And for him to start the elevator and let everyone go first. Such a great deed, but no one is willing.

After all, people are selfish, everyone is hoping to escape from here.

My gaze went to Luo Xi and Ming. They were the only two outsiders in my eyes right now.

"Sorry, I will never do that. Big deal, we can all die here together." Luo Xi said dryly, and I turned my gaze toward Ming again. Ming's answer was also the same.

Now I have no choice, after all, they two do not listen to me. And let the others stay, my heart is also very difficult.

"There must be a button upstairs that starts the elevator downstairs, otherwise how would they come down. So don't worry everyone. As long as a person stays downstairs after starting the elevator, after we go up to the second floor, we will start the elevator to pick him up as well!" I said with a serious face.

"Even if you say so, it is only your speculation. Who knows if there will be a button upstairs. And isn't it too dangerous to stay downstairs?" Luo Xi said a serious, just think of her some shudder.

I helplessly looked at them, and then by the way came to this wall, gently pressed the button, followed by the iron cage really slowly to rise. Then quickly disappeared on the first floor. Then I pressed it again, and the elevator slowly fell again. These are enough to prove that this elevator still works.

It was now a dead end. And there seemed to be something chasing us behind. If we don't get on in the elevator quickly, then we're dead.

But I also know that everyone is selfish. Ming and Luo Xi are also lives. I have no reason to ask them to make sacrifices. Nor do I have the power. But I didn't dare to set my sights on Fu Ling and the others. After all, this job is too dangerous.

Just like that, the whole atmosphere became awkward.

Just then, Wen Zhu suddenly spoke up, "Boss, why don't I stay and send you guys up?"

"What are you talking about!" I immediately interrupted him, my voice for did: "Do you know how dangerous it is to stay down there alone?"

"But there is no way, and I believe in the boss, you will find a way to live." Wen Zhu looked at me seriously and said.

"No, in short, no!" I shook my head and said with an annoyed face. Wen Zhu is my first friend in high school, and my most precious friend. I would never let him make a sacrifice.

"Boss, there's nothing we can do now. If we drag on like this, who knows what will happen next?" Wen Zhu looked at us helplessly and said with a choked voice, "I already don't want to see anyone die anymore."

"But ..." I said hesitantly.

"There is nothing but, I will send you upstairs. Then you can flip the switch from upstairs, and I can go up too." Wen Zhu finished and hurried to the wall side.

"It's okay, I'm not going to die! I still have a date with Chu Yi, how can I die here?" Wen Zhu came over to the wall full of care, but I could clearly feel it. He still had a hint of fear on that face, and his feet were still trembling a bit, but he just didn't show it.

"All right, you be careful. We'll pick you up as soon as we get to the second floor." I gritted my teeth and took Fu Ling's hand and went towards the cage. And the others did the same. The entire iron cage is large enough to accommodate ten people.

Then he pressed the electric button, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, we were sent to the second floor, although my heart was apprehensive, but looking at the distant Wen Zhu . Instead, I felt reassured.

We arrived upstairs, which was still pitch black and dead silent. Just out of the cage, I could not wait to look at the surrounding walls.

"Hurry up and find out if there are any electric buttons on the walls. Maybe it will work." I hastily roared, Wen Zhu is still downstairs, who knows how he is now.

Wei hurriedly came down to look with me, and several flashlights began to shine on the walls, and soon I found the electric button, and then pressed it violently, and the elevator in front of us began to slowly fall. The entire cage was controlled by a cable from above. The cables were made of steel and were extremely hard.

"Phew, luckily we found it!" I hastily patted my shoulder, then shouted to the bottom, "Wen Zhu , come up quickly!" With the elevator slowly falling down.

A muffled response sounded below, and without hesitation, I began to press the electric button to let the cage slowly rise again. Along with the cage slowly rise, my mood is always much more relaxed.

The elevator slowly rose up. This time my face suddenly changed. Because no one in the cage responded to me.

Could it be that Wen Zhu did not get on the elevator? I hastily opened the flashlight and shone over towards the cage. The result was just a glance. I sat down on the ground with my eyes full of disbelief.

In the cage, there was blood everywhere, there was white liquid everywhere. The scene looked incomparably bloody. And Wen Zhu was sitting quietly in the cage. In his hand was also holding a cell phone, and the screen of the phone seemed to be writing a text message. There was nothing unusual about the whole person.

But when the light shifted to his face, I was horrified to find. Wen Zhu 's head was gone, and the whole person was left with only one shoulder!
