Chapter 375 The Disappearing Bridegroom

Josh read those lines on the card carefully and he felt his scalp tingling.

“It said that we will see a house full of severed limbs as if those people were crunched by some monster…. Only

bloody bones and some fragments of their skin were left…”

“We think that it must be the bride. The bride must be the ghost here who devoured the bridegroom on the day of

their marriage…”

Lilly asked, “Yes, that should be the case, right?”

Josh shook his head, “Later on, they discovered that those limbs and bones and rib cages belong to the bride… Her

main body was hanging in the middle of the room while it was still draped in her red wedding

dress…”

“To put it precisely, her head was hanging from another side of the ceiling while her body and wedding dress were

hanging around. There are a lot of empty spaces if you pull up the dress… Her head was separated from her body,

but the bridegroom is nowhere to be seen.”

It meant that only the bride had met a terrible end in the room that wedding night, and all the broken limbs and

bones on the floor as well as the body hanging from the ceiling belonged to the bride.

“That night, those who entered the courtyard did not come out at all. We are now in the marriage room.

Josh could not help but suck in a deep breath when he reached this part. Lilly and the others instinctively looked up

at the ceiling…

Luckily, nothing was there.

For some reason, they felt a chill running down their spine.

Josh continued, “Our task is to find the bridegroom and to leave this courtyard… These are the conditions. for

passing the first stage.”

Hannah immediately turned around, “This is easy. We can just leave by tracing our footsteps when we came in just

now!”

This was game over!

Hannah felt proud of herself for being so smart.

However, Josh shook his head, “We can’t retreat. The wall somehow appeared out of nowhere and sealed off our

entrance.”

Everyone turned around and as expected, they could not discern the entrance anymore.

They remembered that there was a tiny door that was inconspicuous. They did not pay much attention when they

came in.

“We have to leave this room,” Josh said anxiously.

They began to find the door.

The room was quite huge. There were curtains hanging down from the ceiling to divide the room into

sections.

When Lilly saw those curtains, her curiosity got the best of her, “Did they have curtains in ancient times?”

She saw on television that they always used some kind of window screen when the drama was set in ancient times.

Bad

guys who wanted to poison the protagonist would use their saliva to poke a hole in the window screen that was

apparently made of paper.

Josh was stunned, “You are right about that…”

There should not have been modern curtains in ancient times. When they reached just now, the wind must be

blowing at something.

When the realization hit them, the kids yelled and screamed abruptly. To be more precise, Josh and Hannah were

the ones who screamed first, and they were followed by Lilly. They began to dash off with no sense of direction!

“It’s a ghost!”

There should be no curtains, yet something was getting whipped up in the air by the wind just now. It must be the

wedding dress of the bride!

Bryson turned around to check and saw that indeed, there were never any curtains in the first place.

They were in so much shock just now that they did not ake note of the color of the so-called “curtain” just

now.

Bryson could no longer maintain his composure.

So, Anthony did not clear the field? Did he not remove all the scary items and apparitions?

What was unfolding in front of his eyes right now…

Everyone was in the courtyard now in no time.

Bryson was still able to prevent himself from screaming or looking scared, but he was on the verge of breaking

down.

Drake’s face was all rigid and stern.

Josh and Hannah’s hair was standing on end.

Lilly caught her breath and asked, “Josh, is this courtyard a huge one?”

Josh checked the card and there was a map behind it.

“There are 28 rooms in total around here, but this courtyard is mainly divided into the back room, the front room,

the side room, the East-facing room, the West-facing room, and the spare room.”

There were six back rooms in total, and they were narrower, and they were located close to the gate. They housed

the guard house, the accounts office, the concierge, and a store room.

From that direction, they would enter a secondary room which would lead to the main room facing North. The East

and West rooms flanked the main room while the spare room protruded out after the main room.

2/4

The main room was of course the living space of the owner of the house while the East-facing room enjoyed a

higher ranking than the West-facing room. The descendants of the owner lived in the East- facing room.

In the back, the daughter would stay in the spare room. It was often called the backyard, and the daughter would

have to pass by the main room every time she wanted to go out. It carried the meaning of the daughter getting

monitored by her parents,

“We just came out of the main room. There were three sections in there, and the door only led into the middle area

called the common ground. To both sides, there is a bedroom and a study room.”

Lilly nodded as she was getting lost in those complicated words, “This is a huge bungalow.”

Hannah could not understand at all, “What are you saying? I don’t know those words.”

Josh pointed in the direction that they had just run away from, “We came out from there, right? There’s a bedroom

in there, which is also the bride and bridegroom’s room. Outside the bedroom, there’s a common area where they

can enjoy some tea. We haven’t checked out the room on the left yet…”

It was easy for Josh to memorize the terminologies and the location of each room. It was as if the layout of the

whole courtyard was imprinted in his brain.

Josh continued, “First, let’s look for the missing bridegroom.”

The story said that the bride died a terrible death, but the groom was somehow missing.

This was a horror house, so they would not hide away the “bodies” by burying them or throwing them into a well.

That was too much.

The bridegroom must be in one of the 28 rooms here.

Hannah was shocked to learn that, “Where do we even start?”

Bryson was standing, rooted to the ground.

He was still wondering how he had gotten himself into such a predicament.

He said, “An ancient house like this spans across a huge area, but this is just a theme park horror house, so the

dimension must be smaller than an actual one. We should be able to check every room out in no

time.”

He thought that after going through every room, they must be able to find an exit.

With that in mind, everyone decided to search from the room on the outermost side. Then, they would slowly make

their way in….

Luckily, this was just a set with props. The six back roorns were built to be as big as a regular washroom. and the

tools and props were relatively simplistic. They were able to go through them with ease.

They looked out at the road outside the house, and the could take in everything at once. Nothing of importance

caught their attention.

Whenever tourists came, they would hide themselves in the nook and cranny and they would try to scare

off the other visitors.

However, there was no one here today. The whole place was in a depressing silence, which made

everything even scarier.

Bryson’s temples suddenly throbbed.

He was sure that Anthony had prevented other visitors from coming in here, leaving them as the only challengers.

However, that decision only served to make things even scarier for him….

After coming up empty-handed after going through the back rooms, Bryson even tried to push the gate to make it

open, but it did not budge at all. It seemed that they needed to find a key.

They made their way to the secondary room.

“This is the secondary room,” Josh did not forget to be tour guide, “They said that in the past, girls can’t step

through the front door, let alone this secondary room. It means that this is a barrier for girls not to step over it.”

Girls usually stayed around near the back, and they would kill time there in the backyard as well.

Lilly felt weird, “Won’t they feel bored getting trapped in such a tiny space?”

Bryson smiled ruefully, “This is just a replica, you know In fact, the real thing is so huge that they have a whole

garden at the back. Some even had lakes…”

His voice was mellow and tender, and he was explaining things with such calm and composure.

However, when they went past a screen, they immediately saw that opposite them, a red wedding dress was in

front of the main door!

Bryson’s pitch rose rapidly, “Oh my god! What the hell

His image was totally destroyed!

Josh jumped up in shock as well while Hannah saw it now. She screamed and hid behind Lilly. Drake’s expression

finally changed as he sought solace from getting close to Lilly as well.

“It’s a…g-g-g-ghost!” Hannah was stuttering now.

They remembered when they left the main room just how, the red dress was not there! But it was here

now!
