Chapter 193 - 193: Fleeing
[Help! When did this old man appear? I didn’t even notice it!]
[Damn it, my hair is standing on end. The air conditioner is 19 degrees Celsius and my heart is -19 degrees Celsius.]
[I really have to give it to Bai Lin. Is she really not afraid? After seeing Bai Lin then the old man, I was shocked twice!]
[Bai Lin seems to have known that the old man was there. It seems that her train of thought is correct. Zheng You’s story is complete nonsense.]
[What’s the point of discussing whether it’s right or wrong at a time like this?! The ghost’s almost catching up to the guests! What should they do? If it really catches up to them, will they also become twisted corpses in the stoves?]
[I’m the only one who’s curious why Bai Lin emphasized time. Lin-jie, please share your thoughts. Mortals like us have no way of prying into the brain of a god.]
Half of the hunchbacked old man’s face had been gnawed on by something, revealing his white bones. His body was full of holes, like gunshot wounds, but his limbs and body were very strong. He was short but he ran at an amazing speed.
As soon as Bai Lin’s voice fell, the timid ones screamed at the same time. In this extreme fear, Zheng You did not care about the manners of a lady and stepped on Feng Yu to get up the ladder.
Feng Yu fell to the ground. The ghost moved in front of her almost instantly. When she got to look closer, the ghost’s face looked even more hideous as his eyes were filled with maggots.
The ghost grinned at her, and a few maggots even fell out of his uneven teeth.
Feng Yu was old and could not take this kind of stimulation. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Bai Lin and Yan Ruo stood quietly at the side. The ghost quickly climbed up the stairs and rushed out as if he did not see the two.
The basement was very quiet.
Bai Lin raised her head and looked at Yan Ruo. “You’re not afraid? Didn’t you say you were a coward?”
Yan Ruo also smiled. “I could say the same about you.”
Bai Lin shrugged helplessly. “Fine. I was just about to say that if you’re afraid, I can try my best to comfort you. But it seems like there’s no need for that.”
Yan Ruo was startled, he looked down slightly. He was extremely good-looking, and when his brows were slightly furrowed, he had a sense of fragility that made people pity him.
“I’m not afraid.” His voice was very soft. He looked at Bai Lin with a stubborn determination. “I told you, as long as you’re by my side, I won’t be afraid.”
[Bai Lin! Give Yan Ruo a hug! Your husband’s just stubborn! He’s clearly scared to death! Only his wife’s kiss can make it better!]
[I’m dying of laughter. Yan Ruo is indeed an award-winning actor. The change in his expression is so natural.]
[Best Actor Yan: I’m not afraid, I’m just pretending.]
[You’re done fore. You’ve fallen in love.]
The basement was very dark, and only Yan Ruo had a flashlight on. His good-looking face was hidden in the darkness, and only his eyes were bright.
Bai Lin turned her face away awkwardly. She felt her cheeks burning. She knew that Yan Ruo was acting, but she still could not resist the temptation.
She raised her hand and randomly rubbed the top of Yan Ruo’s head. Then, she hurriedly walked toward the ladder, as if to hide something, and explained, “Let’s go up and take a look That old man should have the key and what we want.”
The stairs had been in disrepair for a long time. A few people had walked up and down it, causing the rotten wood to show signs of cracking. Bai Lin was about to take the last step when the wood cracked and she missed her step.
She reacted quickly and tried to flip up with her arms, but her feet, which should have missed) stepped on something soft. She subconsciously stomped on it and used the momentum to return to the ground.
Yan Ruo was slightly taller than Bai Lin, so he quickly caught up to her. Bai Lin grabbed his hand without any explanation, and a gray footprint was left on it. Bai Lin sighed. “Idiot, don’t do this next time. I can manage on my own.”
Yan Ruo washed his hands and smiled without saying a word.
[This is a massive gain. We even get to watch the young couple fall in love in a mystery-filled escape room show.]
[Yan Ruo and Bai Lin are real!]
Compared to the peaceful and flirtatious atmosphere between the two, a grand escape at Zheng You’s side seemed to be more in line with the expectations of the production team.
Zheng You ran like crazy.. As she ran, she shouted at Li Xuan, “Hit it with your hammer!”
