463 Don’t Look Back
“I am afraid.” Isabella buried her face in Joseph’s arms. “But with you, I wouldn’t be afraid. Take a chance. I won’t be separated from you.”
Hearing that, Joseph smiled gently. He kissed Isabella’s forehead. “Trust me, Isabella.”
“Yes.”
“One! Two! Three! Jump!”
The wind in the mountains blew past her ears. They were in free fall. Isabella lay in Joseph’s arms and was surprised to find that she was completely unafraid.
Joseph hugged her tightly. She felt so warm. He used his entire body to hug her, wrapping her up in his big body.
Joseph was protecting her.
Although it’s just a game, there will be no accidents, and Joseph still instinctively protects her.
Isabella thought, ‘This is my husband. This is my family. I am so happy and lucky. He is holding me like this. No matter what’s in front of me, I won’t be afraid anymore.’
.....
The bungee jumping ended. Platty looked depressed. His legs were shaking as he walked.
He sat there with messy and colorful hair. Isabella and Joseph were hugging each other happily. They didn’t feel frightened at all. Seeing that, Platty was on the verge of collapsing.
Therefore, Platty drank two mouthfuls of water and revived his spirits. He jumped up and said, “This is nothing! There is still one more item called ‘Don’t look back’.”
There was a haunted house in the “carnival” project of Blue Sky Amusement Park. The name of the haunted house was very frightening. It was called “Don’t look back.”
The haunted house had Gothic-style spire buildings. It was the grayish-black architectural style on the outside and was hidden in the dense little forest. The haunted house was located in the corner of the amusement park, making people feel very depressed from looking at it from a distance.
Although the amusement park was bustling with activity, this place was inaccessible. As one of the most exciting places in the entire Peace City, Blue Sky Amusement Park invested a lot here.
Isabella turned around and pulled Joseph, who had a calm expression on his face. She wrapped her arms around his arm and lay in the crook of his arm. Isabella said, “Darling, I am very interested in this. Can you protect me?”
“I will run away.”
“What?”
“I am just teasing you.”
“...”
They were mentally prepared, and then they entered the dark mysterious world together.
After entering, they directly went down the spiral staircase. The walls were painted with all kinds of skeletons and ghosts, emitting a faint green light in the dim light. The surroundings were strangely quiet.
“Welcome to ‘Don’t look back’.”
Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice of an old man came from beside her ear. Isabella was so frightened that she trembled. She saw a red light shining in the deep darkness behind her. It looked like blood, making people feel creepy.
There were still many people, otherwise, they would go crazy.
The haunted house was in the mode of exploration. Those who could pass would go to the end. Those who could not pass could shout “safe word” or press the alarm directly. Then, a staff member would bring them out.
It was quite smooth in the beginning. With a few friends together, they were able to deal with all sorts of scary props that had suddenly appeared. Platty was in high spirits. However, because of their large number, the haunted house automatically switched to a cooperative mode and set up three different passages.
In other words, the six people needed to be divided into three groups, each group taking a passageway to find clues. In this way, they could enter the next level.
Gerry thought that there might be danger here and wanted to follow Joseph. Jane was unhappy. Therefore, Joseph rejected Gerry and ordered him to be with Jane. At that moment, Isabella found that the way Gerry looked at Jane was like seeing demons or ghosts.
After that, Platt strongly protested teaming up with David. However, they could not force Isabella and Joseph apart. The protest was ineffective. He could only team up with David to find clues.
After the grouping was decided, the three groups of people split up.
“Darling, you go ahead. I have been afraid of the dark since I was young.” Isabella tugged at the corner of Joseph’s clothes.
“Why do you agree to come to such a place if you are afraid of the dark?” Joseph smiled.
“I haven’t been here before. I want to give it a try.” Isabella’s hands trembled a little. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She was so scared. She said, “You are my husband. You must protect me.”
Joseph took the opportunity to tease Isabella. “Well, I didn’t expect you to be such a coward. You are usually very bold.”
“So what? Why don’t you carry me? I feel like my legs are weak.” Isabella puffed up her cheeks and was acting like a spoiled child.
“Don’t you want to eat an ice cream cake tonight? You are not allowed to eat it.”
“I’m leaving...”
They came to an end in the black passage. Although the unexpected situation on the way was constantly shocking, it was quickly tidied up by the omnipotent Joseph.
The passageway lit up gradually. Isabella carefully looked over and saw a wide square stone house in front of her. The empty house only had two square tables in the middle. Each table had a black box covered in black cloth.
“According to the prompt, we need to reach in and activate the mechanism at the bottom of the box at the same time. After that, the clue will be in one of the boxes.” Joseph analyzed.
“Well, could there be...”
The stone door behind them closed. Isabella was so frightened that she quickly returned to Joseph’s embrace.
“Well, if we don’t touch this box, we won’t even be able to get out.” Joseph smiled. “What should we do? Are we going to surrender? Should we ask the staff for help?”
Isabella forced herself to calm down. “Go ahead and touch it. It’s fine. We can’t be a drag on them.”
Isabella wiped her nose and wiped it on Joseph’s clothes. Before Joseph got angry, Isabella swaggered to the table.
She thought, ‘Isabella, you good-for-nothing. So what if I touch you? It is not real. It’s rare for Joseph to be with you.
Now! What if something terrifying suddenly jumped out? Would I have a heart attack? I do not like this feeling.
Silly girl! Hurry up and touch it!
Isabella made up her mind and reached her hand into the box. At the same time, Joseph also smiled and put his hand into the box.
There was an ice-cold thing covered in scales. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled. Just as Isabella was about to call Joseph for help, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Joseph suddenly pulled back his hand and leaned against the wall. He looked at the black box with a terrified expression. His eyes trembled violently!
