Yichen pursed his lips firmly. When this group of fifteen visitors entered the haunted house, all of them went in separate directions.
He could only rely on the sounds to keep up with the mother and son pair walking ahead of him.
He was somewhat afraid of the dark, especially in such a setting, so he could not refrain himself from becoming a little flustered.
The little boy hugged the toy panda in his arms even tighter, as if by doing that, his fear could be somewhat diminished!
Fortunately, the two in front of him were walking slowly, as the dim lightings in the hallways were making Yun Shishi rather frightened.
In contrast, Yun Tianyou was calmly walking beside her, seemingly unperturbed by their spooky surroundings.
It was not because of anything else other than him knowing how the haunted house operated. He was among the first to experience this attraction and was perfectly clear of its routes, mechanisms, and the places where the staff in disguise would suddenly appear to scare people.
In fact, right now, he was leading Yun Shishi to a comparatively safer route; in this part of the haunted house, there were fewer mechanisms and people in disguise to scare visitors.
At the absence of staff workers pretending to be ghosts and monsters, she gradually let her guard down.
Yichen, who was still tailing the two, tried hard to avoid looking at the surrounding spooky props. He thought that this haunted house was simply designed to give people a scare; little did he know that the settings and props would be very life-like!
Although he knew that everything was fake, under this situation, he felt that he really was inside a haunted hospital!
Yichen hastened his steps. When he was just a few meters away from the two, he faintly overheard their pleasant conversation.
“Mommy, are you scared?”
“I’m not scared. I have Youyou to protect me,” she said in a relaxed manner. Dipping her head, she asked him back, “Youyou, are you scared?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?!”
Youyou chuckled to himself. He held on to Yun Shishi’s hand as they made their way into a dispensary. They were welcomed by many glass apparatuses in the small room, of which contained organs immersed in formalin.
The props created were so life-like they could easily send shivers down one’s spine.
However, not only was Youyou unafraid of these spooky props, he even scanned them carefully, one by one.
Usually, before the visitors entered the haunted house, they would eagerly anticipate the fright factor of the place.
However, when they finally entered the haunted house, all would flee for the exit at top speed with their heads down, not daring to look at the setting within again.
While haunted houses in other amusement parks were crudely made, every haunted house in Fairy Tale Valley was carefully crafted to be realistic!
Because of its high scare index, many emergency stops were situated within the haunted house. If visitors found it hard to continue, they just had to go to one, and members of the staff would escort them out.
Yichen watched the two inspect the dispensary from afar. Suddenly, he heard quick footsteps behind him.
His senses were extremely sensitive, be it his sight or hearing.
Thus, highly alert, he intuitively halted his steps with slightly furrowed brows.
In this silence, the footsteps were easily heard.
Yichen put down his toy panda and hid himself behind a corner. He spotted a man slowly moving toward where he was previously standing.
The man was dressed in a black outfit to blend in with his surroundings, and he wore a cap to hide his face.
Yichen sized him up in detail and noted that the man was clutching something on his waist. His hand stayed there the entire time.
His vision was sharp even in the dark, so he recognized the bulge to be a revolver at once!
