Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Chase

Such lighting only lasted a moment before the entire haunted house plunged back into darkness, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

Ariel wasn’t startled by the sudden appearance of the ghosts, but rather by Lin Mengyao’s shrill scream.

Once again enveloped in pitch darkness, she couldn’t discern the situation, but it wasn’t difficult to deduce what had happened from the sobs echoing through the air.

Ariel played with her folding fan using the hand that had been freed, quietly waiting for the next terrifying moment to arrive.

She listened as Xu Ke softly consoled Lin Mengyao, while she idly counted seconds in her mind. When she reached the tenth second, the lights in the haunted house flickered back on, and eerie singing emanated from all parts of the small town, followed by the roars of beasts from behind them.

Sometime unknown to them, over a dozen zombies with special effects makeup had appeared behind them, where there had once been nothing.

They stood in a row, contorting their bodies, their eyes devoid of black pupils stared at the three of them, mouths agape as they shuffled towards them.

Just when Lin Mengyao had been comforted by Xu Ke, she poked her head out from his embrace at the sound, only to be confronted by this terrifying scene. It was a sensation completely different from that in movies. A surge of blood seemed to rush from Lin Mengyao’s heart straight to her brain, making her unable to think. She instinctively shrank out of Xu Ke’s embrace, screaming as she ran off, as if chased by a pack of hungry wolves.
