There was a wedding dress levitating in front of the main room.
They were not seeing things. There was only the dress, and no one was wearing it.
However, the sleeves of that dress were intertwined to the front, as if someone was standing there politely and waiting to greet them.
Even the unlucky ghost exclaimed, “I am a ghost myself, but I admit I was spooked too!”
Weakling spirit said to Lilly, “Darling, if you cannot take it anymore, we will leave. I will carry you on my back.”
Harem spirit was craning his neck, “Hey, Darling, let me out of here. Let me see who’s that cutie there.”
Lilly lowered her voice so that only they could hear, “Shh… Stop making noise and scare her off. You ghosts can’t scare away other ghosts you know!”
She then shoved those ghosts into the jar of souls mercilessly.
Josh wanted to cry upon hearing that conversation.
They should be the ones feeling afraid right about now.
Josh, who was shaking with fear, wanted to appear strong in front of his sister. He asked in his trembling voice, “Lilly, is that a ghost? Is it X or Y?”
Lilly stared at that dress and shook her head, “I can’t tell at all.”
Was X the resentful spirit? Or the woeful ghost? He could not recall what Y stood for.
Josh’s heart almost jumped to his throat. He was surprised to learn that even Lilly could not discern the type of ghosts in front of her. This must not be an ordinary one!
Or… Could it be that it was never a ghost in the first place?
Bryson’s face turned pale and he could finally let out a sigh, “Don’t worry, it’s not a ghost. It’s just a piece of clothing.”
While the employees here were nowhere to be seen, it seemed that they were dutiful enough to erect this red dress here to make it look like a ghost was wearing it.
Bryson was helpless yet angry. What if this red dress really left a huge mental scar on kids?
Anthony must have instructed the management not to scare these kids, but it seemed that the employees did not get the memo.
Lilly nodded after hearing Bryson’s words, “You are right, it might not be a ghost, but it might be a Ghost tool.”
It was just like the footprints that followed her dad.
Josh remembered those footprints– Whenever Lilly bumped into a ghost, he would record it down.
So, it was a Ghost tool? Sometimes, it was even scarier than the ghost itself…
Josh swallowed hard and asked, “It must be it which made it seem like curtains were flailing in the air just now, right?”
Hannah craned her neck and shouted at the dress arrogantly, “We have to burn it! Kill it now!”
Drake, who had been silent for some time, offered, “Perhaps, it is a clue to the game.”
He had a point.
Everything that appeared there could be some kind of clue.
There must be a reason this dress was here right now. It confirmed the rules that were implemented in horror houses.
However, it never crossed their minds that it might not just be a game that they were playing right now. What if it was a real ghost?
Bryson suddenly spoke, and it was the most regrettable decision in his life, “Don’t worry, let me take a look at it.”
