247 Strange Stillness

However, after coming out, there were all kinds of shouts outside, with couples were frantically looking for an exit.

Perhaps it was because of Chu Ning’s calmness, the three people behind her tried their best to control their emotions and didn’t shout.

During this period, they met many students in groups. Chu Ning found it interesting to see them in a hurry. They had to be disciplined in class and would be restrained even after class or during breaks. Now that they were out to have fun, the students seemed to have let go of their instincts. Some of the boys who looked like they couldn’t care less would hide behind the quiet, petite girls.

As they went deeper, Chu Ning and the others arrived at the core of the haunted house.

An oval-shaped hall appeared before everyone’s eyes. This hall vividly presented a medieval banquet. Time seemed to be frozen abruptly at a certain moment.

The living room’s decorations were a little messy, as if something had happened just before. The huge crystal chandelier emitted a soft light, but it was a little unstable. Nearly half of the light bulbs had exploded, and a thick rope connected the top of the crystal chandelier to the oval-shaped ceiling. It creaked as if it would fall down at any moment.

Many people had already started to yell. The scene before them was too strange and realistic. Many couples had even started to return the way they came.

Chu Ning was somewhat impressed by the haunted house creator’s wonderful ideas. Without a doubt, the fear created here was very real.

Xiaomi was so frightened that she hugged Chu Ning’s waist. She didn’t even dare to open her eyes to look at her surroundings. Just the shouts and discussions of the people around her were enough to scare her.

In the middle of the living room was a huge oval-shaped table. It looked like an unfinished banquet. ‘People’ sat around the table, and the magnificent carpet extended to the bottom of everyone’s feet. Chu Ning looked down and observed for a while. The carpet’s color theme was not obvious in such an environment. There were some dark red colors, like randomly smudged ink spread out irregularly.

They looked like pools of dried blood.

The people sitting around the table looked very elegant, like noblemen from medieval Europe. Some held knives and forks in their hands, others raised wine glasses, but strangely, all of their movements were restrained.

They had been forgotten by the sands of time, as if they had been frozen in a certain moment, showing future generations everything that had happened here at that instance.

At the end of the hall, there was a passage. Two servants were guarding the place dutifully, and at the same time, they had peculiar smiles on their faces as they witnessed the visitors coming and going.

Chu Ning’s eyes focused on the periphery of the hall. The surrounding walls were filled with murals, but the content of the murals was somewhat shocking.

The Holy Mother spread her black bony wings, and the corners of her mouth were opened in a strange position. She held a dark green baby in her mouth and was about to take off.

Below her was a group of suffering people who were waiting for salvation… Chu Ning stared at the scene before her. She couldn’t tell if it was a scene in a painting or a painting in a scene.

And the visitors were the only activity here.

At this time, Luo Yu was so terrified that her body could not stop shaking. It was not that she had not been to a haunted house before, but it had not been this scary. If she had known that it would be like this, she would rather not have come to this amusement park.

“Chu Ning… Why don’t we leave this place? This place is too realistic.” Luo Yu suggested in a low voice.

Xu Xi also clenched his fists tightly. He, too, was afraid.

If it was not for his last shred of dignity as a man, he would have turned around and run away. However, he felt that such an action would make Chu Ning look down on him, so he could only try his best to get close to Chu Ning. This way, he could protect her in times of danger.

“Are you all very afraid? This is just an attraction, not a real adventure. What’s there to be afraid of?” Chu Ning felt powerless. She had difficulty breathing.

Of course, she wasn’t scared. Xiaomi was hugging her waist tightly from behind. Her face was pressed tightly against her back. Her eyes were closed, and she was mumbling to herself.

“Xiaomi, let go a little. I’m going to be strangled to death by you.” Chu Ning pinched Xiaomi’s hand and said helplessly. If this girl had half the courage she had had outside, she wouldn’t have been scared to this extent.
