My House Of Horrors
9: Scared to Tears

"Senior, how can I feel this paper mannequin looking at us?"

He San grabbed the wooden door, refusing to enter the room.

"I'm not kidding! There must be something wrong with them! Could it be that they are all living people who are dressing up - F* ck, I feel like they will all be moving soon!"

The paper mannequins that Chen Ge had touched using the Mortician Make-up had something strange about them. They were obviously inanimate objects, but there was a certain liveliness to them.

Gao Ru Xue looked at He San angrily. She thought to herself, Why did I bring her with me today‽

Fear is contagious; I am not so afraid to begin with, but because of her, even I feel a little affected.

"Do you mind keeping your opinion to yourself? If you give such useless observations, I'll just leave you here."

He was the first to enter the room to take a quick look. The windows in the Main House are just decorative; they do not lead outside.

"Senior, let's go. The building was loaded with Yin energy, and the place was sealed. The exit is definitely not here."

"This Haunted House owner is a master manipulator who knows how human psychology works, so we have to act the other way around from how a normal person would. A place like this that doesn't seem to be an exit port is where we need to check closer. "

Gao Ru Xue walked around the room, sending out airwaves that caused some paper mannequins that had fallen to the floor to scrape unnaturally.

He San's heart was in his throat, still standing outside the door.

"But there is no hiding place in this room; you can see every surface. Where might the exit be hidden?"

"There's no hiding place? Who told you that?"

Gao Ru Xue stopped in the middle of the room, raising her fair foot to step on the red coffin.

"Let's help me, let's open this coffin!"

"Open that thing—"

He San's white lips twitched.

"Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

"You're planning on spending the rest of your life in this Ghost House?"

Under the constant urging of Gao Ru Xue, He San moved bit by bit deeper into the room. He made sure to stay away from paper dolls. He bent down to take one side of the coffin lid.

"On the count of three, pull!"

"Good."

"One two…"

"Dong!"

Gao Ru Xue was only half way back when there was a loud noise in the room.

"What was that?" He San's soul practically jumped out of his skin.

"Stay down!"

Gao Ru Xue put her finger on her lips to make her calm down. He looked around before his gaze finally fell on the red coffin in front of him.

"That voice seemed to come from inside the coffin."

When he said so, colors dried from He San's face. His Adam's apple trembled unevenly, and his hand, which was holding the lid of the coffin, trembled as if he was holding a brand of hot iron.

"Senior, I beg you, there's nothing here, can we go now?"

"Quiet, the sound only happens when we plan to open the lid, don't you think it's so weird?"

"Senior, the coffin just made a sound; it was much stranger than weird!"

"Think of that, there are only two reasons why a coffin could make a sound. One, there's a worker hiding in it waiting to scare us when we open the coffin. Two, there was a hidden machine set up inside it and activating it would cause some changes to this Minghun scenario. So, no matter what the odds are, this coffin is crucial to this scenario. If we want to escape, we have to open this coffin. "

Gao Ru Xue slapped the lid twice, adding, "Don't hesitate, just pull it."

"Although I don't know what you just said, it sounds quite logical."

He San and Gao Ru Xue applied their strength at the same time, and the heavy coffin lid started to shift. When the coffin was a quarter of the way open, the ancient-looking coffin suddenly exploded with a loud noise without warning.

Countless paper mannequins and banknotes came out from inside the coffin, and the laughter of foreign women filled the room. At that moment, the door of the Main House began to close on its own!

"Let's go before it's too late!"

He San did not hesitate. He was close to the entrance, and in a hurry to escape, he had completely forgotten about his senior.

He ran to the door in a few steps, but before he could jump through the door, a woman's face flew in front of him!

The face of death was pale, beautiful, and very beautiful!

"F*ck!" He San's first reaction was to raise his arm to punch him in the face. However, the owner of the face seemed to have predicted his reaction as it easily twisted away from his attack.

"The ghost! Help me!" He San fell to the floor and half crawled, half running in a random direction.

"He San! Don't run fast without a goal!"

Gao Ru Xue shouted at the top of her lungs as she saw a red shadow following He San into the building she had chosen to hide.

"The houses on the side are for sons and daughters. This is bad; the place San San San had visited was a residence for ghosts before he died!"

Gao Ru Xue rushed out, but she realized that the door was locked. He banged on the wooden door while cursing, "Share it and conquer? Isn't this just a Ghost House attraction? Is it really necessary to do such a sick thing—"

The coffin had already broken into pieces, and the paper mannequin was strewn across the floor.

Gao Ru Xue, who was trapped, completely lost her composure. He punched and kicked the door and finally opened it a minute later.

However, within that one minute, everything outside the Main Building seemed to have changed.

"Xiao San's? He San!"

Gao Ru Xue shouted twice, but there was no reply. Other than the creepy background music, there was only the sound of shuffling the banknotes facing each other.

What the hell is going on? The Ghost House is only very big, so it is impossible for He San not to hear me, or did an accident happen to him?

For a reason that Gao Ru Xue could not explain, the picture of the scene of the scene flashed through his mind. He traced the corridor and found his way to the West Building by tracing his memories. Xiao San ran in this direction earlier.

As the old wooden door creaked open, celebratory calligraphy inscribed on the white paper flew to the ground.

Gao Ru Xue walked into the room.

The room was decorated as a newlyweds room, but instead of red, celebratory colors, all white decorations, Chinese funereal colors. It's so scary to say the least.

Where'd he run? The atmosphere in the room was dead. The only light source was a white lantern hanging outside the door. Gao Ru Xue stepped slowly forward as a cold wind blew from behind her. His exposed skin felt cold as if there were small, invisible hands in the air caressing his skin.

The banknotes rattled under his feet, and occasionally, he would kick something hard so he could not tell his identity for being too dark. He gritted his teeth and lit it.

Gao Ru Xue pulled the curtains in the open room to let some light in. The place was empty in addition to the bed covered under a mosquito net as well as a set of bronze mirrors sitting opposite each other beside the wall.

I saw He San running into this room with my own two eyes. Only a minute or two had passed since then, so he couldn't disappear so quickly? Except ... The exit is in this room and He San accidentally found it?

Gao Ru Xue took a deep breath before deciding to conduct a closer examination into the room. However, as he took the first step, he heard the second footsteps fall tightly behind his steps.

"Who's behind me?"

He spun, but he only saw the bronze mirror and its reflection in the mirror itself.
