She gritted her teeth and decided. “Then let’s go in and take a look.”
Han Zhuoling squeezed her hand and pulled her over to queue up.
They had not bought the fast pa.s.s for this, so they had to queue up humbly.
Luckily, this haunted house was too notorious; most people stood outside watching, and there were not a lot of people who actually queued up to enter.
According to the electric sign at the entrance, which showed the estimated queue time, they needed to queue up for around 40 minutes.
However, usually, the time shown on the sign would be a little longer than the actual time to reduce the customers’ expectations.
If it had reached the estimated time but they were still not done queueing up, people would feel unhappy.
On the other hand, if the estimated queuing time was 40 minutes but they were done in half an hour, people would be pleasantly surprised because they finished ten minutes earlier.
So s.h.i.+ Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling queued up.
It was uncertain whether they wanted to let the customers enter the scary atmosphere earlier or if they wanted to let the customers slowly get used to this type of scary atmosphere.
Even the area for queuing up was surrounded by freaky decorations, evoking the atmosphere in a horror movie.
The wall was mottled. The original white pieces of the wall were dropping here and there, revealing the gray color inside.
The wall coverings that had not fallen off were also not very white; it was painted a dirty grey color by the employees on purpose.
There were bloodstains on them here and there.
There were bloodstains that had the shape of a palm and also those that had an irregular shape.
It was as though someone had had their hands placed on the wall and was dragged away forcefully, leaving a trail of bloodstains.
Half of it was on the wall covering and the other half was on the mud wall inside.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya looked around. The lamps on top of the wall were shaky and seemed as though they were going to fall off.
From time to time, there would be freaky screams coming from speakers that were hidden somewhere unknown.
From time to time, there would be screams of visitors coming through the wall.
But there were a lot of people queuing up and Han Zhuoling stood behind her.
Thus, when s.h.i.+ Xiaoya stepped backward, she fell into Han Zhuoling’s arms. The moment she smelled the cologne on him, she was no longer afraid.
There were also a few girls who came in groups.
When they heard these noises, even their voices became shaky when they talked.
The boys who came to play all looked like students and seemed bolder.
There were also boys and girls who came together to play. The boys would scare the girls intentionally.
Even while they were still queuing up, the girls were already shaking with fear.
However, there were more couples like s.h.i.+ Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling.
Couples could naturally hug each other without worrying about anything.
The girls were excited and nervous. They were probably feeling the same thing as s.h.i.+ Xiaoya.
They acted like spoiled children in their boyfriends’ arms.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya saw how spoiled they look and thought that she must look the same to others right now.
So she felt too embarra.s.sed to stay in Han Zhuoling’s arms.
She took a step forward to separate from him.
Unexpectedly, when s.h.i.+ Xiaoya had just started moving, it was as though Han Zhuoling already knew what she was thinking.
He placed his palm on her stomach and pushed her back.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s back was stuck in his embrace, and she could only see him by looking up.
Seeing that she looked confused, Han Zhuoling lowered his head to her ear and whispered, “You’re staying in my arms. Why are you walking away?”
There were a lot of people around and the noises of conversations never stopped.
So they had to speak a little louder to be heard by each other.
