Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2865 Don't be afraid, it's alright

Soon, the group entered the entrance of the haunted house.

As soon as Charlene stepped inside, she immediately felt a wave of darkness and gloom wash over her.

The haunted house is extremely realistic, with walls covered in antique-looking spider webs and mottled bloodstains, and dim lights flickering from time to time, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Faintly, low groans and barely audible footsteps could be heard from afar, sending chills down one's spine.

As soon as you enter, a cool breeze suddenly blows by, making your neck feel chilly, as if something is gently brushing against it.

Xia Lin's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously moved closer to Shi Ye beside her.

Shino seemed to notice her movement, turned to look at her, and asked in a low voice, "Afraid? It's not too late to regret it now!"

Charlene took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound calm, and replied, "I...I'm fine. I'm just not used to the dim light inside yet. I should be fine in a bit."

Shi Ye nodded slightly, his tone softening, "Don't force yourself. If you're really scared later, just grab my clothes."

Upon hearing this, Charlene quietly reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Then... I'll hold on to it now! Let's get ready in advance."

Hearing this, Emily, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but click her tongue and tease, "I was a little scared when I first came in, but seeing you guys, I'm not scared anymore!"

Eva couldn't help but laugh out loud, echoing, "Me too..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a staff member appeared out of nowhere and announced in a low, deep voice: "The mission is now officially beginning. All groups, please come forward quickly, draw a mission card, and choose a route according to the instructions on the card."

This sudden command startled Eva, who had been smiling happily, causing her to scream in fright. Like a startled koala, she instantly clung tightly to her companion beside her with astonishing speed.

Her scream was not only loud, but also clearly panicked, instantly startling the people in the next few groups who had been chatting and laughing.

Charlene, startled, instinctively grabbed Shino's arm.

Shino felt a warm, soft touch approaching him, and he was momentarily stunned.

He quickly regained his composure and said gently, "Don't be afraid, it's alright."

"Oh my, you guys really scared me to death."

Emily couldn't help but complain. As she spoke, she hugged her sister beside her, still shaken, and even subconsciously wrapped her legs around the other's waist, as if only in this way could she find a little sense of security.

Eva looked apologetic and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's all the staff's fault for suddenly appearing."

The staff member remained expressionless throughout, showing no remorse whatsoever; he simply handed over a stack of cards silently.

Shino casually drew a card from the deck and asked seriously, "Are we going to draw cards separately and then take different routes?"

Could it be that everyone is facing different storylines?

The staff member nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, this haunted house features several themed storylines, including a vampire castle, an ancient wedding, a puppet collection, a Jedi hospital, and a mummy tomb, among others..."

Each storyline has a completely different plot and setting.

Leondo asked, "These subject names alone are enough to imagine how terrifying they are!"

Will each line be difficult? Will it be particularly scary?

The staff simply ignored the question, as if they hadn't heard it.

Leon understood and muttered to himself, "Well, this question was a waste of time."

How could the questions set by the show's producers not be difficult?

In the past two days, the only abstract problem that Tokino's younger brother could solve with 100% accuracy was...

How many times have we gotten it wrong, relying on guesswork and chance?

He sighed and continued, "I have a feeling that many more hardships and dangers await us ahead!"

Emily was speechless.

Soon, several groups of people stepped forward and drew task cards.

Emily drew the Bride series, Eva drew the Puppet Collection, and Leondo drew the Vampire Castle.

As for Charlene and Shino, they were drawn to be in the Jedi Hospital.

After determining their respective themes, the groups each received the necessary props.

Standing at the fork in the road, they encouraged each other for a few moments before heading off to their respective mission areas.

Just before stepping into the mission area, Charlene was a little scared.

Normally, such scenes are set up to be terrifying.

Dim lighting, sudden sound effects, realistic props...

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

So she started a conversation, asking Tokino, "What is our mission?"

Upon hearing this, Shino raised his flashlight and illuminated the mission card in his hand.

The card indicated that they needed to investigate further about the reasons behind the hospital's sudden closure.

The story is roughly as follows: This hospital was once a world-renowned hospital, famous for its advanced medical equipment, superb medical skills, and first-class medical staff.

But later, for some unknown reason, this place, which should have been full of life, turned into a desolate and chilling place.

Patients, doctors, and other medical staff at the hospital began to mysteriously disappear one after another.

After the police intervened in the investigation, they were shocked to discover that none of the missing persons had ever left the hospital; they had simply vanished into thin air inside the building.

Therefore, the core of their mission is to unravel the mystery of these people's disappearance and find out where they went and what happened to them.

After reading the chilling story, Charlene felt a chill creep up her spine, her entire back felt cold, as if a cold wind was constantly sneaking into her collar.

Just then, Shino reached out and pushed open a slightly ajar door next to him.

The moment Charlene's gaze fell into the room, she felt a sudden jolt of electricity run through her scalp.

The scene before my eyes was truly unexpected.

This is an old archive room.

Strangely, all four walls of the room were fitted with huge floor-to-ceiling mirrors.

The production team clearly put a lot of effort into setting up the scene, giving the entire room an atmosphere of dilapidation and abandonment over the years.

The peeling paint and dust-covered walls, combined with the dim, flickering lights that refract light repeatedly between the mirrors, create a bizarre and eerie visual effect.

It was extremely eerie.

In particular, skull specimens were placed on the ground and in the gaps between shelves.

They come in various shapes and sizes, some complete and some incomplete, gleaming with a pale white luster under the eerie light.

At first glance, these arrangements are indeed chilling, filled with an indescribable atmosphere of terror.

Shino originally thought that Xia Lin would be so frightened that she would jump around and scream repeatedly.

As a result, no screams came for a long time.

He was slightly surprised and looked down at his side, only to see that Xia Lin not only did not back down, but also craned her head, looking at him seriously and thoughtfully.

Finally, she calmly commented, "Huh? Looking at it closely, it doesn't seem as scary as I imagined."

The scene is quite realistic, but these skulls... they look a bit fake!
