Phew, scared myself for no reason. Gao Ru Xue’s chest rose unevenly as her heart beat at an impossible speed. It had been such a long time since she had acted such a fool.
The creepy music continued to play. Using the weak light, she could see the pupils of her reflection in the mirror start to shrink. In the mirror, the mosquito net behind her was opening on its own! The face of a paper mannequin showed itself, and from the reflection in the mirror, she could clearly see that it was smiling at her.
“Who’s there‽” A human being’s normal go-to reaction during extreme fear was anger and aggression. Gao Ru Xue turned around, but there was nothing there. She ran toward the mosquito net to yank it open to take a look at what was really behind it. However, the design of the net was more complicated than she expected; it had many different layers, and the netting was connected to the bed itself. Instead of untangling the net, Gao Ru Xue got herself stuck in the netting instead.
Right then, she could hear footsteps coming from inside the room.
I’m not moving, so whose footsteps are those? The disappearance of her junior combined with the effect of Black Friday had completely shattered Gao Ru Xue’s psychology defense. The sound of the unknown footsteps was the last straw that ultimately broke the camel’s back.
Her legs turned to jelly, and she found herself unable to move. Fear was like an uncaged animal, tearing at her sense of rationality. Gao Ru Xue yanked on the netting, trying her best to untangle herself from it, but it was to no avail. The sound of footsteps became suspiciously close.
Impossible! The room is only so big, if someone was coming near, I’d definitely be able to see it! Her heart was a chaotic mess, to the extent that even the simple decorations inside the room were sending chills down her spine.
The white lantern outside the window swayed in the wind, causing the light in the room to dim. Her reflection in the bronze mirror started to blur. Gao Ru Xue’s pupils shook because she realized the reflection in the mirror was no longer herself but a strange woman in a wedding dress!
In more ways than one, the woman’s appearance seemed like she was dressed to kill. Her beauty had an ethereal quality to it; it was frighteningly captivating, like looking at a recently unearthed piece of art.
Staring at the woman in the mirror, Gao Ru Xue’s lips quivered, and fear appeared on her face for the first time.
From her experience dealing with so many autopsies, she was familiar with the feeling the woman in the mirror was giving her; this was the face of a dead person!
The Haunted House is hiding a real dead body! Just as this thought entered her mind, fear swallowed her like a giant wave. She tried her best to run away from the bronze mirror, and as she staggered back, she knocked into something.
At the same time, the sound of footsteps stopped, and Gao Ru Xue’s mind went completely blank in that moment. Having lost the ability to think, she turned instinctively to look behind her.
Meeting her gaze was a woman in dead man’s make-up and wedding dress. She smiled at her.
” Ahh! ” The piercing scream shattered the quietness of the Haunted House; it could heard even outside the building itself. With her arms still entangled in the netting, Gao Ru Xue’s legs finally gave, and she collapsed to the ground.
The suppressed fear manifested as tears, which fell uncontrollably. Her eyes were screwed shut, and her mouth was slightly open. The woman started to dry heave.
“Xiao Wan, quickly bring her out!”
“Okay.” The female ghost standing before Gao Ru Xue removed her Bluetooth earpieces that were hidden under her hair and squatted down to say, “The experience ends here. Please catch your breath, I’ll lead you out now.”
Ten seconds later, the exit to the Minghun scenario was pushed open. Chen Ge rushed over in a hurry and asked, “There’s only one? Where’s the other one?”
He rushed over in a hurry because he could not locate He San on the surveillance cameras.
“That coward fainted when he ran into the room and saw the two mirrors. I was afraid that he might influence the experience of the next visitor, so I dragged him to hide him under the bed…”
“Fainted?” Chen Ge also did not know how to respond. “Safety’s first, if this happens again in the future, inform me immediately!”
“Yes, Boss.” After leaving Xu Wan to look after Gao Ru Xue, Chen Ge went into the room to pull He San out from behind the bed. The young man was completely unconscious like he was greatly traumatized.
