Even the woman could not take it. She was holding her daughter who was at the age of 12-13 and it was soon their turn to enter the Sagawa Hospital.
The woman was already nervous yet she heard Yun Jian’s nonchalant words. The sudden burst of frustration had nowhere to go, so she nagged Yun Jian openly. It was just that Yun Jian ignored her.
“Hey, we’re meeting again! Haha! It seems that we’re quite fated huh!”
When the line got shorter and shorter, a flippant voice of a guy sounded from the back. Yun Jian could recognize someone by their voice; she did not even have to turn her head to know who it was behind them.
It was the guy who tried to flirt with them in the milk tea parlor earlier.
Zhou Dongxun looked at Yun Jian, Lu Feiyan and Wang Cancan happily, not expecting to bump into them again so soon. Everyone there was slightly antsy about entering the haunted house but as a real man, Zhou Dongxun thought that he should act braver in front of the girls, especially since the girls might run into his arms when they got scared inside the scary haunted house.
The thought of it thrilled him, so he tried talking to Yun Jian and the girls even more boldly, “I’m not making it up. They really don’t let girls go in alone. The Sagawa Hospital isn’t like other haunted houses. It’s the scariest hospital themed haunted house to date. It’s said that someone’s been scared to their death on the spot before! That’s why girls need to be accompanied by strong guys.”
Zhou Dongxun was not actually lying. Yun Jian had caught sight of the warning from the notice farther away and pressed her lips together.
“Can you take us in then? Take us in and we’ll split up once we’re inside,” Wang Cancan turned to ask Zhou Dongxun.
“Sure! We have five of us here and three of you. We can team up and enter together!” Zhou Dongxun agreed readily as his eyes kept flitting to Yun Jian.
Yun Jian did not speak this time.
Zhou Dongxun was the most popular guy in Longmen City’s Er High School. Needless to say, plenty of girls were after handsome guys like him—like the two girls who had been following them around, they were Zhou Dongxun’s suitors.
It was unfortunate that the two girls looked average and had only hung out with Zhou Dongxun and friends usually by putting on thick makeup.
Hanging around outside, egoistical guys like Zhou Dongxun liked having girls around them all the time. Even when they did not like the girls, having them around meant they had an audience to act cool and brag to.
It was just that Zhou Dongxun currently had better candidates—Yun Jian and her friends. Not only were the three of them prettier than the two girls he had taken out, one could just keep looking at how beautiful they were.
This made Zhou Dongxun imagine how he would appear like a hero to save the damsel in distress when Yun Jian and her friends got afraid and wanted to bury themselves into the floor when they were in the haunted house later.
Ah! Just thinking about it excited Zhou Dongxun! Showing off his manliness by boasting that he was not scared of any ghosts in the haunted house was just so fun!
Since Zhou Dongxun was the most popular guy in Longmen City’s Er High School, the two girls who came with him were dressed fashionably with thick makeup even though they looked rather plain.
Both of them wanted to attract Zhou Dongxun’s attention, not expecting the guy to invite Yun Jian and her friends along. It caused the two girls to feel incredibly jealous.
One of them who had red lipstick and wore a thick layer of foundation told Zhou Dongxun indignantly, “Dongxun, why’d you ask them to come with us? They look real timid, like they’re going to scream the moment they go in. What if they get too scared and dare not move in the haunted house? They’ll slow us down!”
“Wang Qiaoyu, you can go alone if I hear another word from you!” Zhou Dongxun snapped at the girl.
“Dongxun… you—humph!” The girl named Wang Qiaoyu was angry but said nothing more.
…
It was soon Yun Jian and her company’s turn to enter the haunted house.
It was clearly stated that girls had to be accompanied by strong men to enter the haunted house here.
Zhou Dongxun’s group which consisted of five people was made up of two girls and three guys, so the three guys were barely considered “strong men”.
Usually, a group of four to six would go together, but Zhou Dongxun’s group of five and Yun Jian’s group of three equaled eight of them. Despite that, the crew of Sagawa Hospital let them in after thinking about it and gave out two sets of tools to the group—two flashlights and two shields.
Yun Jian took a flashlight and gave a shield to Lu Feiyan and Wang Cancan.
All eight of them then walked in the dark entrance of the haunted house.
The haunted house took over three floors of the basement and the whole set-up was built in a hospital theme.
Once they went in, it felt chilly. Zhou Dongxun and his friends shuddered before they slowly made their way forward.
Yun Jian strolled leisurely, like she was taking a walk in the garden of her own house. It surprised Zhou Dongxun and stirred a disgruntled comment from Wang Qiaoyu, “Hah! Acting all cool and mysterious, let’s see how much longer you can keep this up for!”
As soon as she said that, a woman sprang up from a big bathtub filled with blood right before them.
“Ahh! Arghh!”
No one was expecting to see a woman covered in blood standing up from the bathtub that looked like it was empty. Zhou Dongxun, Wang Qiaoyu and the others shrieked at the sight of the woman.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw that Yun Jian was not frightened by the woman drenched in blood at all. Instead, she went over to her and scrutinized her before cracking a grin.
“Not enough blood. It’d be more convincing if the blood flows from the top of your head. It’s easy to see that it’s the crew with this makeup technique. Oh, you could put a fake cleaver on your head too—doesn’t look perfect without a prop.”
