"Senior sister, why do I feel like those paper figures are staring at us?" Hesitant to step into the room, Heshan clung to the doorframe. "I'm not joking! There's definitely something wrong with those paper figures! Could they be people in disguise? Damn, I have this feeling that the moment we get close, they'll stand up."
The paper dolls, handled by Chen Ge exuded an eerie vibe—clearly lifeless, yet inexplicably carrying a trace of vitality.
Gao Ruxue shot Heshan a sharp glare, resisting the urge to call him a coward. Fear, after all, was contagious. She hadn't been particularly scared before, but his words made her uneasy. "Can you stop talking for a moment? Keep this up, and I'll leave you here alone."
With that, she stepped inside, scanning the surroundings. The window on the main room's wall was merely decorative, offering no way out.
"Senior ssiste, let's just leave. This place feels so creepy. It's sealed off on all sides; the exit can't be here."
"The owner of the haunted house is proficient in psychological hints and knows how to guess people's hearts, so we have to do the opposite. The more impossible the place is, the more carefully we should search it." Gao Ruxue walked in the house, and the wind made the paper figures on the ground shake.
Heshan looked frightened outside the door: "But there is no shelter in the house. It is clear at a glance. Where can exit be hidden?"
"No shelter? Who told you?" Gao Ruxue stood in the middle of the main room, raised his slender snow-white thighs, and stepped on the red coffin. "Come and help, I want to open the coffin!"
"Open the coffin?!" Heshan mouth twitches, the whole person is not good: "It's not appropriate to do so …"
"Are you going to stay in this haunted house for a lifetime?" Under Gao Ruxue's firm command, Heshan reluctantly shuffled into the room, carefully avoiding the paper figures on the ground, and bent to hold the other end of the coffin lid.
"I'll count to three. We lift together."
"Okay."
"Thud!"
Before she could finish counting, a strange noise suddenly came from within the room.
"What was that?" Heshan, clutching the coffin lid, froze in fear.
"Shh." Gao Ruxue gestured for silence, her eyes scanning the surroundings before settling on the red coffin in front of her. "The sound seemed to come from inside the coffin."
When she said this, Heshan's face was blue with fear, his adam's apple trembled, and his hand holding the lid of the coffin was like holding a red-hot iron plate: "Sister, you are my dear sister, let's go quickly."
"Calm down. Don't you think it's strange that when we opened the coffin, there was a sound coming from the coffin?"
"There's a sound coming from the coffin. It's not strange. It's terrible!" Under the influence of Black Friday, Heshan's fear was magnified infinitely, and now he just wanted to leave early.
"If you think about it carefully, the sound coming from the coffin is nothing more than two situations: first, there is a staff member hidden inside, maybe once we open the coffin, he will jump out to frighten us; second, there is some kind of instrument mechanism inside, opening the coffin triggers the mechanism. So in any case, the coffin is a very important prop in the ghost wedding scene. If we want to escape, opening the coffin is one of the necessary steps." Gao Ruxue patted the lid of the coffin: "Don't hesitate to open it directly."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I think it makes sense."
Hesha and Gao Ruxue pushed against the heavy lid, which slowly slid open. When it was about a quarter open, a deafening bang suddenly erupted from within the coffin!
"Boom!"
The coffin tipped over, spilling countless paper figures and joss paper into the air. A chilling woman's laugh echoed through the room, and the door slammed shut on its own!
"Run!" Heshan was very close to the door, he was frightened, where to take care of his senior sister, one step to the door, but before he put his head out, there was a woman's face outside the door!
Pale, delicate, breathtakingly beautiful!
"Fuck!!!"
The unprepared Heshan threw his fist at the face, but the owner of the face seemed to have known his reaction, as if he had rehearsed it countless times, and before his fist fell, he had already dodged.
"There's a ghost!" When he lost his fist, he was in a panic, rolling and crawling to the other side of the house.
"Heshan!"! Don't run around! Gao Ruxue shouted, just in time to see a red shadow following Heshan into the wing room.
"The side rooms are where the younger generation lives. No! That's where the ghost used to stay!" Gao Ruxue rushed toward the door, but it was already locked, trapping her inside the main hall: "This is to separate us and break them one by one? It's just to visit a haunted house. As for being so crazy?!"
The coffin was shattered, and paper figures were scattered across the floor. Surrounded, Gao Ruxue felt her heart pounding as she kicked at the door. It took her over a minute to finally break it open.
It was only a minute, but the outside world seemed to have changed a lot.
"Heshan? Heshan!" Gao Ruxue shouted twice, but no one responded. Apart from the weird background music, there was only the sound of paper money rustling on the ground in the haunted house.
"What is the situation? The haunted house is so big, Heshan can't hear my voice, did he have an accident?" His mind flashed through the photos of the crime scene, Gao Ruxue did not know why he suddenly remembered these things.
She walked along the veranda and went to the west wing according to her memory. "The hill ran in this direction just now."
"Crunch."
Pushing open the old wooden door, the paper figure cut from white paper fell off, and Gao Ruxue entered the wing.
The house was decorated as a wedding room, but the awkward thing was that all the decorations were white, not only did they not feel festive, but also some people.
"Where did you go?" The room had a strange atmosphere, and the only light source was the white lantern hanging outside the door. Gao Ruxue walked slowly, and the wind blew behind her. Her exposed skin felt cold, as if there was an invisible hand in the air.
The shoes stepped on the paper money, the instep would be touched by some strange things from time to time, the light was too dim, she could not see very clearly, she could only clench her teeth to speed up.
Opening the curtain of the inner room, Gao Ruxue stopped at the door. The room was empty except for a bed wrapped in a curtain. There were only two bronze mirrors placed opposite to each other and clinging to the wall.
"I see Heshan run into this room with my own eyes. It was only a minute. Could the exit be hidden in this room? Does Heshan escape by accident?"
Thoughts flashed through Gao Ruxue's mind. She took a deep breath and stepped into the house. As she moved, there were two footsteps in the house at the same time!
"Who is behind me?"
She turned her head sharply, but only saw a bronze mirror in which her own figure was reflected.
