Chapter 354 - They Are the Ghosts! (1/2)

The red door was pushed open, and the two boys bounded into the courtyard. They continued to sing their weird lullaby, and blood slid down their faces. When they got closer, Brother Wong realized that the red was not from paint but a mask that was carved into their faces.

“Don’t come any closer!” Brother Wong collapsed to the ground. His hands reached back, hoping to grab something to use as a shield. His fingertips touched something cold. He turned back to look, and the mannequin that had been half-buried in the ground earlier had crawled out and was resting beside him!

Brother Wong called for Sister Mao to help him, but Sister Mao was facing quite a big problem herself. The bloated ghost had climbed out of the water barrel, and water dripped to the ground, his swollen face staring at the two visitors inside the courtyard. A shrill female scream escaped her throat. Sister Mao was scared until she lost her rationality. She abandoned Brother Wong and raced out of the house like crazy.

The lanterns on the side of the street elicited a red light. The originally-creepy village changed in several minutes; it felt like she had arrived at hell!

Two boys ran out from the courtyard. The eerie lullaby filled her ears, and Sister Mao raced for her life. “Help!”

As a Haunted House reviewer, she was screaming for help inside a Haunted House—that was something Sister Mao had not expected before she arrived. Her speed slowed down, and the Sedan Kids caught up to her. Despair almost swallowed her whole. “How come this road is so unending? Someone come and help me!”

After turning the corner, Sister Mao saw the red graveclothes standing in the middle of the road. The clothes stood upright, and when it discovered Sister Mao, it chased after her without warning. Her throat was raw from screaming. Sister Mao focused on running.

Fortunately, the Lord rewards hard work.

Sister Mao saw light at the end of the road!

At the end of the other street, there were several dim oil lamps. Even though the light was weak, they managed to chase the darkness away. “That should be the exit!”

Sister Mao tried her best to run toward the light, but as she ran, she realized that something was wrong. Those lights did not seem fixed to anything; they seemed to be moving on their own!

“The lights are floating in the air?”

With monster chasing behind her, Sister Mao did not have the time to consider these details. She ran another few meters before she saw the lights for what they were!

Pale faces floated behind the lights—each oil lamp was hanging from the mouth of a floating human head!

Sister Mao’s brain had gone into shutdown. Her body continued to move for several meters due to inertia. Just as she was about to charge into the group of Skull Lanterns, a hand reached out to grab her.

“Follow me!” the man said harshly. He pulled Sister Mao into one of the old homes and led her to jump through the window.

“Who are you?”

“Shush, it’s very dangerous here.” The voice was rather familiar, so Sister Mao allowed him to drag her for two streets. After they ran away from the monsters, they finally stopped. They hid behind the door, and Sister Mao turned to look at the man who saved her from certain death. Her gaze moved up, but when she saw that face, her face quivered. “Bai Qiulin‽”

“Will you please quiet down‽” Bai Qiulin hissed at her. “Why? Is it that surprising to see me?”

Sister Mao’s brain was a puddle, and she staggered back. “But Xiao Lan said on the phone…”
