The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 981

Once Natalie and Jerome were done changing, they came out of the dressing room.

When they saw each other in school uniforms, they could not help but recall the time when they were studying in the countryside. However, the village was not that wealthy back then, and the school uniforms they had were not as nice as the ones they were wearing now.

“I never thought I'd be able to see you in a school uniform again,” Jerome teased.

“Same,” Natalie said before chuckling.

“If you're scared inside, you can put your hand on my shoulder. I'll protect you,” Jerome told her as he patted his shoulder.

Natalie retorted, “Don't be so quick to say that. Who knows who'll be protecting who by then?”

The two continued to tease each other for a while. Once the other players were done changing, they all put on the eye masks.

Soon, the door to the escape room opened.

After the staff members whirled them around three times, they were guided into the escape room.

Once the door closed, the people finally took off their masks, only to find that the inside of the room was pitch black.

Perhaps it was because the escape room was cold to begin with, or because of the air conditioning inside, the temperature in the room was much lower compared to outside.

“How are we supposed to play this? It's pitch black in here!” cried out one of the young women. “Ugh, why didn't they give us a torchlight when it's completely dark in here? How are we supposed to solve the puzzles if we can't even see anything?”

“That's right!” said one of the young men. “Are we going to do this without looking at anything?”

Unlike them, Natalie and Jerome were still feeling fine. After all, they were only up against the darkness and the cold—nothing scary had popped up yet.

Just as the people were running around in the room anxiously looking for the exit, someone touched something, and one of the mirrors in the room abruptly lit up.

In the mirror was a girl in the same school uniform as them. Her hair was messily cascading down her shoulders, and she was bleeding from almost all of her orifices.
