” Pei Hu! ”
Chen Ge was fixing the heads onto the mannequins in the sealed classroom when he suddenly heard a man’s scream coming down from the far end of corridor. The scream was a mixture of complicated emotions.
That doesn’t sound like the scream of fear. It is mixed with surprise, anger, and terror. Chen Ge fixed the last mannequin and exited the classroom. This batch of visitors sure is energetic.
…
Pei Hu, who had rushed into Room 303, had his back against the door, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
“Damn, Wenlong is still inside the well!” Pei Hu’s palms were slick with sweat, and he looked at Wenlong’s phone in his grasp. “I’ve even taken his phone away. The well is so dark, and there seems to be mannequins buried underneath.”
Pei Hu did not dare continue that thought. He looked around the room. Room 303 had retained its original look; there was a bunch of dirty laundry sitting in the middle of the room, but the stench was missing.
“Why would they leave a pile of clothes in the middle of the room? This place gives me the creeps. To be safe, I’ll just stand by the door,” he mumbled to himself when someone knocked on the door behind him. However, curiously enough, the source of knocking came from the spot that was around his feet.
“People normally wouldn’t knock at that spot, so this definitely isn’t Wenlong.” The only thing that could walk outside the corridor… other than Wang Wenlong, there was only one other option left. Pei Hu’s face fell, and he stared at bottom of the door, which was creating the knocking sound. “It’s the head! The mannequin head is knocking on the door!”
The thought caused Pei Hu’s legs to go weak. He wanted to lock the door and realized with horror that the lock was merely a decoration. A slight push, and the door would be opened.
“There should be a window inside this room, right? But what if the mannequin head enters the room after I leave the door?” Pei Hu scratched his chin in thought, but it would not work if he just stood there, blocking the door throughout the night either. The knocking continued, and each knock resounded in Pei Hu’s head. “I need to figure out a way to get out of here.”
Pei Hu started to look around the room and then walked over the pile of dirty laundry. After an examination of the room, he came up with nothing. “It’s a thick cement wall outside the window; there’s no exit. Will I have to stay here until the game ends?” Pei Hu stood in the middle of the room. “How did a visit to the Haunted House turn into something like this? The winking mannequin, buried bodies in the well, and a detached head that chases people around. Is the boss a magician? How did he manage all this?”
Before Pei Hu could get an answer, there was a loud bang on the door.
“The force has suddenly increased? Is it the mannequin? Has she found her head?” The thought of it chilled Pei Hu. He looked around, and in the urgency of the moment, he hid inside the bedroom.
“Why doesn’t this bedroom even have a door‽” He regretted it after entering the room, but everything was already too late. The only hiding place inside the bedroom was under the bed. He shone the phone underneath the bed, and after seeing that there was not anything weird, he crawled into it.
Please just leave me be! He snuck under the bed, pocketed the phone, and focused his pair of eyes at the room door. The darkened room was very quiet, and the smallest sound was amplified. A few seconds later, the living room door was pushed open. After a tense silence, a very light sound reverberated through the living room.
Sounds like something is rolling on the floor… The thought flashed through Pei Hu’s mind, and one second later, his legs froze, and a chill travelled from the balls of his feet to the top of his head. I seemed to have forgotten one thing!
The rolling sound neared, and when Pei Hu turned his head toward the door, a detached mannequin head that was smiling rolled to a stop at the bedroom door!
