Chapter 47.1 (1/2)

The clown had just finished speaking when the crowd was immediately in uproar.

All of a sudden, both those who had gotten the red ball and those who had gotten the black ball had a change in expressions. Some people were disappointed, some relieved, others had collapsed in disbelief. Naturally, these people were the unlucky one who had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant.

Xiao Tangqiu, “……”

Sure enough!

He knew that he and Tang Mianmian weren’t so lucky!

Tang Mianmian’s expression was very complicated. He gave Xiao Tangqiu a look, his face filled with bitterness. “You jinx!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “…Blame me.”

Clearly, the clown was duplicitous. How could he blame him for being a jinx?

“You said earlier that those who get the red ball have to go into the haunted house! How can you go back on your word?” The handsome boy who had been smug about taking the black ball immediately started shouting.

Although the others didn’t dare to shout at the clown, their expressions clearly implied the same thing.

The clown laughed strangely, “This is my playground! Naturally, the rules will be made by me!”

The handsome boy felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest. His face turned red while the others looked pale and humbled. Although they were very resistant to the clown’s deception, they had to bow down to whoever was in charge.

However, with the exception of Xiao Tangqiu and his party, the other people who didn’t have a chance to enter the haunted house looked really disappointed.

“Alright! Those who didn’t get it will have another chance! Those who were picked should come with me!” The man with the map had drawn a black ball. He put away his map and began to organize a haunted house expedition team. “Grab your flashlights! Let’s go!”

Obviously, this group of people had already made preparations for the haunted house expedition. Each person had a flashlight. But because not everyone could enter the haunted house, the rest had to reluctantly lend their flashlights to Xiao Tangqiu and several others.

Tang Mianmian gingerly took the flashlight and looked at the haunted house, which had an eerie vibe even without any sound and lighting effects. He gulped and hid behind Xiao Tangqiu silently.

Xiao Tangqiu glanced at Tang Mianmian but didn’t say a word. Although the two of them had gone through several instances, this guy was still as timid as ever.

Just then, the door of the haunted house slowly opened.

A cold wind blew out and Xiao Tangqiu instantly felt a chill climb up from his tailbone, his body covered in goosebumps. Before him was a sheet of black, giving rise to a feeling of uncertainty. Tang Mianmian silently hid behind Xiao Tangqiu.

The man in the lead had already entered the haunted house with a flashlight. Xiao Tangqiu also brought Tang Mianmian inside, but the handsome boy still resisted. “I don’t want to go in …”

This guy turned to run, but he smacked right into the clown’s painted face. The clown grinned at him, the corners of his lips almost reaching his eyes.

He fearfully took a few big steps back and fled into the haunted house at once.

“Ahhh!”

He bumped into Tang Mianmian, startling him. He also cried out, “Ahhh, ahhhh!”

The shrieks of the two men went up a pitch, one after another, and Xiao Tangqiu finally couldn’t bear to watch them any longer. “What’s your name?”

Tang Mianmian stopped and glared at the boy, “What’s your name?”

The boy shook as he said, “Just… just now, that clown… was so scary…”

Tang Mianmian rolled his eyes at him. “Hasn’t the clown been like that the entire time?”

“No! The clown… “

Seeing that the boy was still trying to argue, Xiao Tangqiu quickly interrupted, “Stop arguing, let’s go. The people in front have already left!”

Besides the three of them, the other four were from the other team. They were walking in the front and hadn’t stopped because of the loud cries of Tang Mianmian. Instead, they simply walked forward and at this time, some distance had gradually grown between them. If they didn’t catch up, they would definitely fall behind.

Xiao Tangqiu quickened his pace to catch up, while Tang Mianmian shrank behind Xiao Tangqiu and the boy shrank behind Tang Mianmian. The three men maintained this formation and soon caught up with the others in front.
