The narrow and confined environment gave rise to feelings of oppression and fear. The setting of lying in a coffin was even more terrifying to Lan Tianyou. But what was even more horrifying was always the next second.
Bang!
A sudden loud noise caused Lan Tianyou's eyeballs to stare wide open as his face was filled with horror. He heard footsteps, someone's here! Oh no, a ghost?
The light then also changed, with a hint of red seeping into the coffin from the cracks. Scared stiff, Lan Tianyou lay shaking in the coffin!
The live stream viewers were also scared stiff, their legs turned soft as they saw the thrilling scene on screen. The furnishings in the room were very old, with a large coffin in the middle.
Directly opposite the door was an altar table with a red candle burning on it.
The door was pushed open with a loud noise, the sound Lan Tianyou heard! Right after, in walked a female ghost in bridal gown and red veil!
The theme of the third episode of "The Horror Escape Room" was thus revealed after the NPC appeared - the ghost bride!
The bullet screen started boiling over, viewers screaming in fright.
The ghost bride, this age-old trope, could somehow always scare people paralyzed, and had long occupied a classic spot in various escape rooms. Things like a wedding with a ghost were the scariest.
After the ghost bride entered the room, she first blew out the red candle. The room became even darker after the candlelight was extinguished.
At this time, Lan Tianyou who was lying in the coffin had long been scared into a cold sweat, he dare not make a peep or even open his eyes.
Also not knowing how much time had passed, Lan Tianyou really could not hold it in anymore and secretly opened his eyes a tiny slit.
But it was this glance that allowed him to see, through the cracks in the coffin lid...
A pair of eyes!
Silently, staring at him!
"Ahhhhh!"
Lan Tianyou instantly let out a high pitched male scream, scared to the point he almost started jumping in the coffin.
But with hundreds of locks in place, he could only manage to make the coffin shake a little with his jumps.
The bullet screen started roaring with laughter, countless viewers had been waiting for this!
After the ghost bride blew out the candle, she lightly crept up and peered into the coffin through the cracks. Sure enough, scaring Lan Tianyou half to death!
What followed next was the ghost bride not leaving, just staying in the room doing who knows what, all kinds of faint rustling sounds coming through. This made Lan Tianyou even more frozen stiff in fear!
However, she kept her red veil over her head the whole time, so viewers didn't know what she looked like. Only Lan Tianyou saw that pair of eyes wearing eerie color contacts, extremely creepy.

In another place, Nan Xiangwan, Gu Beihuai and Guan Liangzhe's team of three were very relaxed.
While Gu Beihuai was observing their surroundings, Guan Liangzhe clung onto his clothes the whole time in fear.
Nan Xiangwan sat on the floor finishing all the packaged Japanese food she brought.
At the same time, she also glanced at the system panel.
【Ding!】

A series of rewards, three cashbacks. Nan Xiangwan wiped her mouth, not very satisfied.
It's not as much as the rewards from last time!
This stupid dog is getting more and more perfunctory!
【Ding!】
【Triggered Task: Solitude】
【Task Requirement: Host is required to sing a song related to the theme of solitude on stage in Episode 4 of "The Singer"】
【Task Reward: To be announced according to final ranking】
Alright, solitude.
Nan Xiangwan got up from the floor and switched into work mode.
At this time, Gu Beihuai had already finished observing their basic environment. Same old familiar horror atmosphere.
Their current location was a room of around 20 square meters. Various aged doors and windows, dim lighting.
The floor tiles were green, not a modern style.
There was a carved wooden couch inside the room, the decorative patterns layered in cobwebs, apparently no one had moved it for a long time.
The room had three sides of walls, there was a door to the left that was unlocked but could not be opened.
Guan Liangzhe gulped nervously: "It's an enclosed space right? No ghosts are going to suddenly pop out right?"
Gu Beihuai looked around: "Unless the floor bricks are lifted."
With the whole room in plain view, nothing else inside except the wooden couch. If something wanted to pop out, it could only be from underground.
Or break through the walls?
Nan Xiangwan was a woman of action. She directly used her feet to stomp on the floor tiles.
Then she let out a sigh of disappointment.
Nan Xiangwan: "Solid."
Guan Liangzhe: "That's good then!"
Bullet Screen---
: Hahahaha why does Nan Xiangwan look so disappointed?
: Nan Xiangwan was especially hoping for something to happen!
: Nan Xiangwan and Guan Liangzhe have completely opposite psychological processes!
......
At this time Gu Beihuai had already started examining that wooden couch. Mainly because there was nothing else in the room, the only way out seemed to be via that couch.
So the scene that followed was Gu Beihuai researching the couch while Guan Liangzhe stuck to him like glue.
Nan Xiangwan, with nothing to do, played with the dust in the corner.
So boring!
Gu Beihuai researched for a very long time, he even fully lifted up the couch to inspect below, but was unable to find a single clue.
There wasn't even a hint!
This instantly livened up the bullet screen. What happened, did King Gu malfunction today?
Viewers were exceptionally happy to see King Gu encounter problems. Such contrast was very entertaining.
After determining there were absolutely no clues in this room, Gu Beihuai decisively stopped wasting time and casually took a seat on the couch.
He started waiting!
He had already figured out the program team's patterns.
When Gu Beihuai first saw the three people together, he knew things wouldn't be so simple this round.
It's very likely that, just like his first challenge last episode, there simply was no process set up for them to actively solve any puzzles.
No matter how hard they tried would just be a waste of effort.
Not knowing what else to do, Guan Liangzhe followed King Gu's lead and sat down beside him.
It was at this time that Nan Xiangwan in the corner suddenly raised her head!
Guan Liangzhe reflexively jumped up, "What's wrong? What is it?"
Nan Xiangwan stared at that tightly shut door, "Someone's here."
Gu Beihuai didn't look but had been listening for sounds the entire time.
Guan Liangzhe was so frightened he didn't dare speak, gripping Gu Beihuai's clothes tightly, practically trying to burrow into his arms.
Nan Xiangwan walked up a couple steps, wanting to peek outside through the door cracks.
But those cracks were truly too tiny for her to see anything. It seemed something was also blocking the other side, pure darkness.
Yet she distinctly heard sounds of activity from outside the door, footsteps!
Just as Nan Xiangwan was leaning sideways against the door to listen closely, music started sounding from the other side.
Sounded like Chinese opera...
Someone was singing opera?
Guan Liangzhe's eyeballs practically bulged out, face deathly pale!
Hearing opera singing in an old mansion past midnight, this was way too scary!
