Chapter 66 - Haunted House (2/2)

Although he said this, Jiang Yang had already proceeded to sit down while gasping for air. He had clearly not done much exercise but beads of sweat coated his forehead.

Sitting with his legs spread open on the ground and his hands resting on his knees, he roughly wiped away the sweat from his forehead. After throwing away his jacket, he couldn’t help but feel a little cold when the wind blew past.

“You regret this right?” Qin Xu turned his head over and laughed at him.

Jiang Yang rudely glanced at him, “What is there to regret? You should speak for yourself. Terrified.”

“You’re not terrified?”

“At least I’m better than you.”

Qin Xu snorted very obviously in disapproval.

They wanted to sit on the ground and continue chatting comfortably while they caught their breath but how can the ‘ghosts’ let them do as they wanted? Each team had a limited time, so they shouldn’t stay in the haunted house for too long.

The ghost from further up ahead no longer waited for the two to reach his location and took the initiative to come over and scare them first. With strong ferocity and wretched expression, it started running over to them.

How could Jiang Yang and them just sit there? They obviously made a dash for it! While running, they would occasionally glance back to check whether the ghost was still chasing after them. Like this, they ran like crazy for a very long time and the ghost still didn’t’ fucking stop chasing after them!

“That ghost is way too dedicated! He’s still chasing us!”

Qin Xu complained that he was tired, but he didn’t dare to stop. While gasping for air, he heard the footsteps behind him slow down. He guessed that the ghost might have reached the end of the section that he is responsible for and will probably stop chasing them, so he also started slowly down. Unfortunately, as if he was suddenly stimulated, the next second the ghost started another fierce chase.

Jiang Yang: “…….” Running to the point that he almost wanted to vomit blood.

Finally, the ghost behind them was gone and the two could move on at a normal speed. They bypassed the severed hand prop and continued walking for a while before Qin Xu suddenly cursed: “Fuck, why aren’t we at the exit yet? Did we go the wrong way?”

Jiang Yang was too lazy to talk. He just rolled his eyes and thought, don’t jinx it.

But the next second.

Jiang Yang felt a tug at his shirt and subconsciously looked back to find himself facing a disfigured face at a very close distance. It even fucking revealed a polite smile?

Jiang Yang almost couldn’t control his hand and wanted to punch it but Qin Xu managed to pull him back away from the ghost with a look of vigilance.

But the ghost didn’t have any intention to approach them. Instead, it reached it’s hand out and pointed to the passage on the other side.

“He wants us to go there?” Jiang Yang frowned and asked.

Qin Xu: “Probably, but I don’t really trust him. Who knows whether or not they have a trap set up for us.”

Seeing that the two didn’t have any intention to move, it again pointed it’s finger to the passage.

Jiang Yang: “…….I think we should trust him.”

“You sure?”

Jiang Yang nodded.

“Okay then.”

Qin Xu stuck to Jiang Yang and together they walked a head. When he looked back, he saw the ghost waving his hand politely to say goodbye. Your mum, Qin Xu quickly faced forward again, that scene was just too shocking.

And then, they encountered the female ghost in the red dress that climbed out of the cabinet.

Qin Xu shouted with fear and anger: “I told you that ghost was deceiving us!”

Jiang Yang trembled and his heart beat extremely fast. Unfortunately, there is only one set path through the haunted house and they wouldn’t be able to reach the exit unless they went through all the obstacles.

The ghost in the red dress laughed crazily as she rushed over towards them. Because the corridor was so narrow, they didn’t have anywhere to hide and could only watch her get closer and closer with their own eyes. Qin Xu covered his face and embarrassingly cried: “No, I’m about to go crazy! Do you want to make me wet myself?!”

The female ghost suddenly stopped and snorted. It wasn’t the laughter that you would hear from the recorded sound effects and it was instead a normal laugh from the staff. After snickering for a moment, she gently floated away.

Qin Xu: “……..She was laughing?”

Jiang Yang nodded: “Yes. Laughing at how pathetic you are.”

Qin Xu didn’t want to lose: “You’re not much better than me.”

And so, for the remainder of the way Qin Xu held tightly onto Jiang Yang’s waist. Jiang Yang wanted to throw his hands off, but he very shamelessly said: “I’m very scared.”

Jiang Yang: “……….”

Finally, the last ghost chased them out the exit. When they finally saw the light, it was like they felt alive again. They leaned against the wall while catching their breath and internally swore that if they decided to go to a haunted house again, they will be considered a dog.

Under the tree stood the other people who had exited the attraction before them, and they clearly looked no better than them. Everyone of them was also chased out of the building.

Everyone gathered to discuss their experiences and, when they discovered that the others also had similar experiences, they felt a little better about themselves. Luckily, it wasn’t just them that was scared.

What was interesting was that Tang Ling Ling and Huang Shao’s group actually ran into each other when they were halfway through the building. They had thought that they had encountered a ghost and screamed loudly for a moment before realising that the voice sounded a little familiar. After looking carefully, Huang Shao that guy who was already scared to the point of tears by the female ghost earlier was crying like a baby and even had snot flowing out from his nose. He complained: “Who told you not to be in a team with me!”

Despite clearly being terrified, the moment she saw Huang Shao Tang Ling Ling didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

As for the whole endeavour, the only person who could do it without a change in his expression was the master, Wu Tong.  He pretended to be scared only so that he could use that opportunity to get closer to He Shuo. Although the others may not be able to tell, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu could tell with one look that he wasn’t scared at all. Otherwise, how could he calm back down so quickly?

After personally seeing how terrifying the haunted house is, they looked over at Wu Tong who could go through it without a change in his expression and couldn’t help but complain —– He’s a devil. A devil.
