Chapter 374 This Is What A Girl Is Supposed To Have Fun With

Lilly pointed at the horror house and she shouted excitedly at Bryson, “Look! This is where a girl should go to have fun!”

Bryson, who was always gentle, stood in front of the horror house, and he was petrified. He allowed the wind to graze him and ruffle his hair.

He tried to remain gentle and calm, “Lilly, are you sure you want to do this?”

Lilly nodded in determination, “Yes, I am very sure!”

Bryson felt the last ray of hope going out in his mind.

If they were really going into a horror house, he would rather ride on roller coasters, drop tower, and pirate ship…..

Bryson maintained his calm image as he tried to convince her, “Lilly, you’re too young. Girls your age are not allowed in the horror house, you know.”

Lilly asked, “Why are kids not allowed?”

Bryson tried to reason with her, “Because kids are not fully developed yet, and they would get scared so much that they would never forget the horror. The scar will follow them their entire lives.”

Lilly asked again, “What do you mean that their scars will follow them?”

Bryson was very patient, “I’m talking about mental damage. If a child gets scared too much, it might provoke something in his or her mind. It will leave a mental scar.”

Bryson tried to make it sound as simple as possible and he was still the gentle uncle that she knew.

Lilly patted her chest and promised, “Uncle Bryson, you don’t have anything to worry about. I don’t think those puny ghosts in there will spook me. We will be fine!”

Bryson had no words for a while.

He simply chose a signboard and bluffed them, “Look at this, kids are not allowed in there.”

Lilly could not read well, and she could only recognize the number 14 on it. She argued, “It said that fourteen-year-olds are banned from this, but we are not fourteen yet!”

She was four years old while Hannah just turned six. Josh was seven while Drake was nine years old.

None of them were fourteen..

Hannah chipped in, “She’s right!”

Josh said, “Uncle Bryson, the signboard says that children under fourteen can go in under the supervision of adults. It doesn’t say that kids are not allowed.”

This time, Bryson had nothing to say anymore.

Although Drake was still acting cool, he also opened his mouth, “Uncle Bryson, don’t tell me that you’re afraid?”

Every time he was in a dilemma, he would seek help from Anthony.

Bryson texted him, “Anthony, Lilly wants to go into the horror house, and I can’t stop her.”

Anthony replied, “Let her go.”

Bryson could not believe it, “What? I don’t think scary things are for kids.”

Anthony replied after some hesitation. “You are right, kids shouldn’t experience such a huge scare at their ages. Give me a second.”

Only then Bryson could breathe a sigh of relief.

Anthony was Josh and Drake’s father, and once Anthony gave the ultimatum, both siblings had no choice but to listen. If those two could not get in, Lilly would follow them.

At least, that was what he thought.

After a while, Anthony replied, “Okay, it’s settled. I’ve made the arrangements. Bring them in now.”

Bryson replied with a string of question marks, “???

After ten minutes, Bryson led the four kids and they were now standing at the first stage of the horror

house.

He had no idea how his leg had walked him here!

He was incredulous.

The signboard said that children under fourteen were not allowed to get in…

Josh was smug, “See, I told you, we just need adults to company us. It’s not like we are not allowed to come in here…”

As he said that, he suddenly felt a cold breeze on his neck, which caused him to immediately shut up.

This horror house was actually built like an escape room.

They had to find critical items to get through the first stage. They also had to solve some mysteries before reaching the next stage. There were a lot of obstacles waiting for them before they could clear the horror house.

Josh wanted to get on Lilly’s good side, but now that he was entering the real horror house, he felt his legs slowly turning into jelly.

Hannah, however, was beyond excited. She was eager yet wary of the challenges that were to come.

Drake’s face was blank, but one could see that he was also slightly nervous.

“Don’t be afraid, guys,” Bryson had no choice but to force himself to do this. He put on his signature smile, “Your dad should be able to make things easy for you. I won’t be too scary, I assume.”

Bryson knew Anthony well. He doted on Lilly a lot, and he would get whatever Lilly wanted for her no

matter the cost.

He believed in Anthony. He believed this would turn out fine for everyone.

2/4

Anthony must have informed the management to remove scary things from the set so that everyone would not get scared out of their wits.

This was why Bryson felt a little relaxed.

“Let’s go,” Bryson began to console the kids, “Don’t worry, you have me backing you up…”

All of a sudden, a gust of wind went through them. The curtains flew up!

With a loud bang, one of the candle sticks fell down.

It rolled briefly and stopped when it hit Bryson’s feet..

His words were caught in his throat.

Lilly tried to console him instead, “Uncle Bryson, dont be scared, this is just wind!”

Bryson’s teeth were chattering, “…I am not scared at all

He felt embarrassed that he had jumped up at the sound of a candle falling to the floor. He felt his face burning, and he tried to calm down and scanned his surroundings.

Josh was reading from a card that contained clues on how to pass the first stage, “The first stage is called

The Disappearing Bridegroom, and this is set in ancient times….”

“A long time ago, Ms. Charlie from a wealthy family could not marry off herself even after twenty years. In order to find her a husband, the family put out a notice…

The story must be about a wealthy family trying to marry off their daughter by giving away an expensive dowry plus precious jewelry and rare silk. They would even give a house to any potential suitors…

With such an advertisement, there should be people lining up to apply for it. However, after one month, nobody turned up at the door.

It turned out that not only Ms. Charlie was born ugly, she was a bringer of ultimate bad luck. She had gone through four different wedding engagements with different men, but before they tied the knot, all four of those men died a terrible and inexplicable death.

One of them had a heart attack while the other died after a heavy apple fell on his head. One was bitten to death by a mad dog while the last one slipped and fell to a well.

Therefore, Ms. Charlie was branded as the bridegroom killer and this rumor spread like wildfire. Nobody would want to marry her in fear of losing his life.

She would destroy the suitor’s life.

In the jar of soul, unlucky ghost and harem ghost stuck out their heads curiously.

Ms. Ugly asked, “Is she uglier than me?”

Unlucky ghost whistled, “This is an interesting woman. So it turns out all her grooms were dead before they even married? She could rival my bad luck.”

Harem ghost commented, “What a poor lady! She could not even enjoy herself in bed. The groom should stay alive for one night before dying.”

The other ghosts were speechless to hear such a comment.

Not only was harem ghost a playgirl, she was even commenting on other’s sexual life.

Lilly asked, “Then?”

Josh asked, “There was a student from the countryside who was quite poor. He could not pay for the examination fee to attend the prestigious entrance exam in the capital, so he decided to take down the advertisement.”

Harem ghost listened while propping up her chin, “This is so cliche, it’s about some student again. Why does students always pop up in ancient stories like this?

Josh continued, “The student went all the way to Ms. Charlie’s residence to apply to be a suitor, and her family member was satisfied with what they saw. Ms. Charlie especially liked his handsome face. To make sure things didn’t go wrong again, they immediately married that same night…”

“Her family was confident that as long as Ms. Charlie became a married woman, the curse would be gone.

on its own.”

They were married in this huge house that had a huge courtyard around it. They were carrying out the ceremony hurriedly, so they had no time to do much preparation. They were able to hire some maids, some guards and also a woman who played the role of chef.

“However, a tragedy happened that night. The wind was crazy that night, and there was a terrifying scream coming from the bride’s room. In fact, it was the groom’s scream, and someone was chewing and. munching on bones there.”

The maids and the guards did not dare to check things out as they recalled Ms. Charlie’s reputation.

They began looking around for help, and by the time the government officials came around, they finally opened the door of the main room.

When they saw what happened there, some even fell down on their butts. Two of them staggered backward and suffered a stroke. They were dead instantly!

Lilly, Hannah, and those invisible ghosts were engrossed in the story. They eagerly asked, “What did they see? What happened there?”
