Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 374

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 accompany 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.
