Chapter 259 — Dressing Up as Ghosts to Scare People
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
In the control room behind the haunted house, Jin Maosheng, Zhang Yuzhou, and Xiao Ma had already changed into costumes. Jin Maosheng had become a vampire, Zhang Yuzhou had become a zombie, and Xiao Ma had plastered his face tight with something, turning into a 'faceless man'.
"We are ready. Call those people waiting in front and tell them they do not need to come in. Just let Gu Mengyao come straight in." Zhang Yuzhou instructed Xiao Ma.
"Yes..." Xiao Ma had already become the faceless man, and his speech was somewhat muffled. He took out his phone and dialed a number, then said, "You can leave now."
Outside the haunted house, the two groups who had been waiting ahead of Gu Mengyao and the others suddenly said after taking a phone call, "We are not waiting anymore, it is too slow. Let's go, let's go play something else."
"Exactly, so slow. Forget it, let's go." Another person immediately chimed in.
So the two groups ahead turned and left directly, without the slightest拖 delay.
"Huh? Sister Yaoyao, is something wrong with them? They queued for so long, it was almost their turn, yet they left without going in?" Shen Yushu stared at the departing groups in puzzlement as if looking at idiots.
"Who knows? But it is better that they left, it will be our turn soon." Gu Mengyao was puzzled too, but their leaving was after all a good thing, no more waiting.
Wei Zhao swept a cold glance over the departing groups, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. Making a move so soon? Inside the haunted house?
"Next group..." At this moment a haunted house staffer opened the door of the haunted house and looked at Gu Mengyao and the others. "Is it you? Are you three together?"
"Yes, is it our turn?" Gu Mengyao asked.
"It is here, give me the tickets, go on in." The staffer took the tickets from Gu Mengyao's hand and tossed them casually into the ticket box beside him without even a glance, which filled Wei Zhao with contempt. He could not even be bothered to put on an act, was he really so eager to get them inside?
Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Wei Zhao filed into the haunted house one after another. The heavy door behind them slammed shut with a boom, and eerie, terrifying wails rang out from inside, "Woo... aow..."
Gu Mengyao could not help shivering. Although she knew full well it was all fake, the chilling atmosphere inside the haunted house still left her cold all over.
"Xiao Shu, hold on to me, do not run around. It is pretty scary in here." Gu Mengyao wanted to keep up her air as the elder sister, but her voice still betrayed her fear. What she had meant to express was that if Shen Yushu held on to her, Shen Yushu would not be afraid, yet anyone could hear now that Gu Mengyao was putting on a brave front while trembling inside.
"Hehe, Sister Yaoyao, are you scared?" Shen Yushu was rather bold, and hearing these ghostly howls, she was not much afraid.
"Who says I am scared?" Gu Mengyao would never admit she was afraid. "All this stuff is obviously fake, meant to frighten people. What is there to be afraid of? Let's go. Wei Zhao, stay right behind us, do not wander off."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. The things inside this haunted house were bizarre and strange. Though made very lifelike, most were composites of light and shadow effects, in fact all fake, illusory things, just like watching a 3D movie, only more immersive.
