Chapter 396: Chapter 395: It’s All Fake
A woman’s scream suddenly echoed, and Jingxi was startled, grabbing Beichen Rui’s neck.
Lan Shan also clung to Ye Xinluo in fear, as a cold gust of wind blew from nowhere, prompting her to shrink her neck.
With the dim lighting and the chandelier above swaying, it left a creepy feeling in the air.
"Xinluo, I really don’t understand why the CEO designed this place to look so scary when he first took over," Lan Shan muttered.
This haunted house is designed to be so terrifying... is it really necessary?
Ye Xinluo chuckled softly, reached out to pat the back of her hand gently, and said softly, "It’s all fake, just pretend they don’t exist!"
Lan Shan glanced around, feeling that the place was eerily sinister. Suddenly... she caught a glimpse of a white shadow out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned to look, there was nothing.
At this moment, Lan Shan noticed that Gong Shaoyu, who had been following them, was nowhere to be seen, "Xinluo, where... where is Brother Gong?"
Hearing this, Ye Xinluo turned her head, looked around, and indeed, there was no sign of Gong Shaoyu. Even ahead, Beichen Rui and Jingxi were missing.
Startled too, she suppressed her inner panic, feigning calmness as she spoke, "It’s fine, it’s all fake, don’t scare yourself."
Repeating to herself over and over... this is a haunted house, everything here is fake.
"Xinluo, can we please leave? This place is so scary!!" Lan Shan clutched her arm desperately, refusing to let go.
Ye Xinluo was also terrified, but she didn’t show it, "It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t overthink it."
"Why is it so dark here? I can’t see anything."
"Be careful..."
Voices came from the doorway, and without another word, the two of them walked towards it. They reached the entrance, where they found an endless, pitch-black corridor.
"Xinluo, where did those people from just now go?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinluo frowned and, after a moment, said, "I don’t know."
They had come out upon hearing the voices, so even if those people left quickly, they shouldn’t have been completely silent.
The two reached a spot with a light on the wall, where a map was posted, pinpointing the exit location.
"Xinluo, can we go out first? We’ll wait for them outside."
This place was too terrifying... really, who came up with such a frightful idea?
Lan Shan pursed her lips tightly... suddenly regretting following them in... Seeing her truly scared, they didn’t insist and walked along the path.
The corridor was very dark, and upon taking a look, they realized they must be on the first floor because the entrance was lower, and the exit was set on the second floor.
To get out, they had to go upstairs, so she took out her phone from her bag and turned on the flashlight, finally seeing the path beneath their feet.
The long corridor stretched endlessly, with only a few rusty chandeliers casting dim yellow light. One even seemed broken, flickering intermittently.
It took them a while to find the stairs and they slowly ascended. Upon reaching the second-floor corridor, they discovered it was just as dark as the first floor.
"Could it be that it stays this dark as we go up?" Lan Shan suddenly asked.
"Probably!" Ye Xinluo replied, guessing that the house used for the haunted attraction was likely surrounded by materials on the outside, leaving only ventilation openings.
Before entering the haunted house, they had specifically checked and saw the entire building covered with vines outside, presumably why it was so dark inside.
