Chapter 67: Haunted House

“Thank you for your kind offer, but it is not easy for you to run a business. It would be better if you did not suffer a loss.”

Lin Yao had already finished his sentence, However, he noticed that the malice suddenly increased while the freak was speaking. Lin Yao was not stupid. By the time the malice increased to an alarmingly high level, he had already rushed far away.

Phew…

After rushing away and confirming that the freak had not been chasing them, Lin Yao finally stopped to catch his breath.

Then, he quickly looked around again, checking to see where he was.

However, what Lin Yao saw in the distance sent a chill to his heart. There was a big sign with the words “Haunted House” on it in the distance.

It was normal to have a haunted house in an amusement park. However, it was not normal to have a haunted house that represented extreme horror in a place filled with freaks.

‘A haunted house is a place where monsters gather. Have I arrived at the monster lair?’

Lin Yao retreated step by step as he stared at the haunted house, which had its lights on. By now, the two little girls had woken up from their trance.

They knew that they had dragged Lin Yao into this world and had realized based on what had happened just now that they were an extra burden for Lin Yao. Upon seeing the solemn expression on Lin Yao’s face, they trembled slightly but assumed a firm stance.

“Brother, put us down. You should run for your life.”

“Yes, you will be able to escape. Don’t mind us.”

“Nonsense!”

After berating the two of them, Lin Yao immediately stared at the haunted house nervously, fearing that he would startle the monsters inside.

However, after staring intently at it for a long time, he was surprised to discover that although the haunted house looked horrifying and there were many blood stains as well as heaps of eerie limbs outside it, he could not sense any malice coming from the haunted house.

‘What’s going on? Is the level too advanced for me to detect anything with my Malice Detection? Or could the haunted house be harmless?’

Lin Yao had his doubts. The first thing that he thought of was that the haunted house was too advanced for him to detect any malice.

However, although Lin Yao had this thought, he did not leave. He thought of what had happened when he’d traveled all the way here.

‘Both the amusement facilities and the merchants’ malice make my body shiver, and a terrifying chill will spread in my heart the moment I sense malice. I will even feel like blacking out. This shows that they are very dangerous and can form a crushing darkness. Otherwise, even if I could perceive malice, my body would not react this way.’

The malice might be powerful, but it would not affect Lin Yao’s body. When he perceived malice and detected that the other party was too powerful, there would be a slight tremble in his body due to stress, telling him to escape immediately without hesitation.

All the freaks that Lin Yao had run into in the amusement park could easily kill him. However, such existences also followed certain rules. They would never take the initiative to strike. They would just entice Lin Yao and other people into using their money to buy goods and play games.

This had been the case all along. This was why Lin Yao felt that this amusement park was not merely an eerie crypt.

‘These people are full of malice. Certain circumstances must be restricting them and forcing them to follow the rules. I did not perceive any malice in the haunted house. This might be one of them.

‘Should I go in or not?’

Lin Yao, who wandered around the entrance of the haunted house, hesitated. However, the glow on his body suddenly disappeared at that moment.

Initially, Lin Yao was a little happy when this happened. In this weird amusement park, it might not be a good thing that his body could glow in the dark.

The reason he had encountered so many freaks along the way was also related to his glowing body. Fortunately, Lin Yao had no money with him and hence had been able to withstand the temptation of the monsters and escape to this place.

Therefore, Lin Yao was happy when he first discovered that the glow on his body had dissipated.

However, he soon sensed that something was wrong. As the light on his body dissipated, a cold feeling seeped into his body and mind, and he could feel the real temperature of the world.

Of course, Lin Yao was not afraid of the cold alone and was even prepared to take off his clothes and put them on the two little girls.

However, along with the coldness that he felt, there was also a rapid loss of physical strength.

Lin Yao sensed that the surrounding fog was very strange. With every breath he took, a large amount of fog penetrated his body. The fog was very chilling. While his body temperature went down, his physical strength also dissipated because of the cold.

‘I can’t defend myself against this chill. It would be difficult for me to survive here for a day.’

This was not the end of Lin Yao’s troubles. He no longer radiated any light, so the two little girls that he was holding in his arms were affected the most. They had been exposed to the outside world for a while, so their hands and feet were already cold and had turned pale.

These apparent physical changes aside, they had also grown depressed due to an unknown influence.

“It’s all your fault. It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t picked up that money, none of this would have happened. I’m going to kill you.”

“Go ahead and kill me… Ooh, kill me.”

Lin Yao felt the chillness spread inside him. The girls used to be adorable and cute. However, right now, one of them was full of hatred, while the other was full of regret. All this had happened within a short time.

Of course, he knew that this was not their real nature. The sudden emotional changes were caused by the gray fog.

‘It seems that the fog cannot only affect the body, but also the mind. Damn, we can’t stay here any longer.’

Lin Yao gritted his teeth and rushed toward the haunted house. At the same time, a light attribute vital energy seed was unleashed in his body.

Lin Yao did not squander the energy produced by the explosion. Instead, he absorbed it into his body cells. The light attribute vital energy seed was the positive energy formed by the power of the sun and the spirit energy. Lin Yao’s body cells absorbed the energy rapidly and very soon, his body was glowing again.

The light energy stored in Lin Yao’s cells would always scatter, but the vital energy seed was very stable. This time, Lin Yao used the light attribute vital energy seed to recharge.

However, this was an expedient measure. Even if Lin Yao did not engage in strenuous exercise, the energy in his body would dissipate within five minutes once he unleashed the seed. If he engaged in vigorous exercise, it would dissipate faster. Lin Yao only had four light attribute vital energy seeds, and the remaining three were thunder vital energy seeds.

’20 minutes is my limit.’

Unleashing the vital energy seed not only filled Lin Yao’s body with light energy but also activated his Body of Light, which increased Lin Yao’s power by 10% (not fully charged).

As the Body of Light blessed and enhanced his body, Lin Yao rushed into the ticket hall of the haunted house. He held the ironwood sword in his hand, ready to draw it anytime.

However, after Lin Yao rushed in, he saw that there was nothing in the haunted house except for some weird furniture. He did not even see the gray fog that filled the amusement park.

‘My guess was right. This is a safe house.’

Upon seeing that the gray fog had dissipated, Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He finally saw a ray of hope now.

‘Let’s not leave. We shall wait here until dawn.’

It was a common belief that monsters and ghosts would not appear in the day. Lin Yao shared that way of thinking. He wanted to see if he would be able to leave this place during the day.

However, while he had this thought and was about to close the door of the haunted house’s ticket hall, a loud bang was heard and the door was violently pushed open from the outside. A horrifying weirdo in a blood-stained costume with his face hidden in his hood walked in. He was holding a blood-stained sledgehammer in one hand as he entered the haunted house.

The moment Lin Yao saw him, an endless chill filled his body and mind.

‘I have fallen into his trap!’
