Chapter 391 - 389: Entering the Haunted House
So, those who often say such things are the most scared, they’re just afraid that if they really go, they’ll frighten themselves, so they absolutely refuse to go.
Obviously, Wushuang is this kind of person. Even when she watches horror movies, she gets so scared that she can’t sleep all night, and must hide in her friend’s room to sleep with her.
"Oh no, Wushuang, don’t speak so loudly. What kind of person is Xiaoyu? You can fool them, but you can’t fool me. I don’t want to expose you, so it’s best if you just come along. Xiaoyu will take care of you."
Lu Xiaoyu couldn’t listen anymore. Now four people have arrived at the ghost house’s entrance, but this friend is being so helpless, refusing to enter.
"....."
Wushuang actually forgot about this, and now she’s obviously caught.
Lu Xiaoyu definitely wanted to come play, but because she’s afraid of ghosts, no one accompanied her to the ghost house, which is why she hasn’t gone until now.
But this time, with Chen Tianlong here, she felt much more at ease. At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu was a bit excited.
"Alright, Wushuang, see how none of us are afraid. What are you afraid of, being such a mighty person? Even Mengting is not afraid, are you admitting defeat?"
Lu Xiaoyu wants to play in the ghost house but fears Wushuang won’t want to, so she has to use her trump card.
Lu Xiaoyu knows that only by comparing the bravery of a rival can she stir her friend’s fighting spirit, providing her with motivation and courage to explore the ghost house.
She cannot show weakness, as showing weakness means admitting defeat.
"Fine, I’ll go, you’re the one scared of ghosts."
Wushuang still refused to admit, not wanting Mengting to know her weakness, otherwise, she’d be terribly exploited later on.
Chen Tianlong smiled wryly, although he wasn’t sure if Wushuang was really afraid of ghosts, he did know that Mengting was. Just now, Lu Xiaoyu’s words were entirely to stir up Wushuang’s fighting spirit, trying hard to get her to visit the ghost house.
"Alright, let’s head off, haha."
Chen Tianlong saw everyone had no objections, so he promptly spoke.
Everyone followed Chen Tianlong towards the ghost house, but upon nearing the entrance, seeing a long queue, they suddenly felt a bit frustrated. At that moment, the group in front suddenly decided not to go into the ghost house.
Chen Tianlong took a closer look and realized they were all girls, some tall, some short, and some were quite old, perhaps worried that older people might be left with a shadow from something inside, so they decided not to go in.
Thus, the tour group scattered, and suddenly, the next turn was for Chen Tianlong’s team. They quickly prepared to enter the ghost house using their ticket package.
"Wushuang, you’re braver, you go ahead, hehe," Lu Xiaoyu said deliberately.
"Oh..... I’ll go, who said I’m afraid."
Wushuang was quite stubborn, refusing to admit she’s scared of ghosts.
Chen Tianlong chuckled knowingly, realizing that Wushuang was doing it out of fighting spirit, so he quickly moved ahead to walk in front. Wushuang pouted and followed closely behind Chen Tianlong.
She said she wasn’t afraid, but in reality, she was quite scared. You know, once inside the ghost house, the first person is the most terrifying; they lead and see the first glance, which is the scariest.
Those in the middle are more composed, as anything scary would already be alerted.
At this moment, Wushuang was walking in the second position, which was actually the safest, as Chen Tianlong deliberately set it up to protect her.
Behind, Lu Xiaoyu and Wu Mengting had united fronts, holding hands like close sisters.
Earlier, Wushuang was a bit upset, so the friends weren’t holding hands temporarily.
Chen Tianlong led the three beauties steadily forward. First was a mummified corpse area, with many corpses along the walls, and in the middle of the path, corpses hanging from above, which looked quite terrifying.
Chen Tianlong smiled; these things were meant to scare girls, for a rough guy like him, it’s like playing; there’s no fear whatsoever.
"Ah...."
Chen Tianlong casually brushed aside a dry corpse blocking the path and walked past.
But Wushuang behind him wasn’t so relaxed. The corpse just moved aside suddenly swung back, appearing upside down before her, terrifying her.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu rushed forward and punched the corpse: "Da! Wushuang, don’t be afraid, Xiaoyu is here to protect you!"
Only then did Wushuang respond, realizing it was fake, then she deliberately tidied her clothes, coughed twice, and said, "Cough cough, I knew it was fake, where’s the fear? It’s just suddenly disgusting."
"Wow, I see, that’s right, disgusting. How can this scare our fearless Wushuang," Lu Xiaoyu concurred.
The ghost house specifically used a kind of lighting, so when finding the way, you can only see clearly at two or three meters, making it pitch black except for those in front, so they could see almost nothing.
However, this was invisible to others, but for Chen Tianlong, it was not a problem.
The greatest fear for people is darkness, where nothing is visible, causing them to imagine wildly.
In this way, they scare themselves, resulting in fear. The designers of this ghost house probably used this principle to create the scary effect.
Finally, they passed one area and entered the second, which was slightly brighter.
Here, many demon arms reached out from the walls, and the area was named the nineteenth layer of hell.
The name alone sounded gloomy and scary; the eighteen layers were formidable, but now they ended up in the nineteenth.
"Wow, we’re in the nineteenth layer of hell, so exciting, might we see King Yama and Black and White Impermanence?" Lu Xiaoyu, this girl, was really fearless. It’s unclear if she’s genuinely unafraid or simply unaware.
"....."
Wushuang was dumbfounded, seeing the ghastly name, her heart was about to jump out, whereas her friend was so powerful she got excited.
Being both women, why is there such a gap?
One plays around, while the other is scared beyond measure.
Wu Mengting hurried up, at this moment the three women walked together, viewing the arms coming out of the wall and some zombies stuck to the wall; Wu Mengting also felt a bit scared, so she quickly walked forward.
But after taking two steps, Wu Mengting got grabbed by a zombie on the arm. In fear, she quickly pulled her arm back, but found, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free, instantly panicking, shouting, "Chen Tianlong, this zombie is so terrifying, I’m caught by it, ah....."
The zombie not only grabbed Wu Mengting’s arm but also reached out to attack.
