Chapter 575 Who's There?
A prank, that's what they thought deep down in their hearts. But soon, they would all know just how different reality truly was. Huuuu~
Their breath misted in the air, and the moon's rays flickered violently, casting long, jittery shadows on the walls, floor and everything else. But you see, the weeping noise was no longer there.
Gulp~
Kong swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure. "See? They must have stopped their weeping tape after realizing they were discovered."
The other two nodded in agreement. "As for the shadows... It's just the wind or something. Let's just—"
CREAKKKKK~
Before Kong could finish, the bathroom door creaked open with an agonizing slowness that made them all throw their heads behind their shoulders in an almost robotic way.
Was it them, or did the bathroom stall doors now seem farther from them than before?
CREAK~
The doors opened in slow motion, as time stood still for a moment. Wuoo-Wuooo-Wuoooo~
The sobbing intensified, but right now, they couldn't care less, especially when seeing a translucent figure drifting into view, hovering just above the floor, with her face facing downwards.
It was a young girl, her face obscured by long, wet hair. Her dress was tattered and stained, and her eyes—when they met theirs—were hollow and filled with an endless sorrow.
AHHHHHH!
Everyone's heart jumped in disarray, as they now placed their hands over their mouths, struggling to hold back their haunted screams.
They had only gotten a glimpse, however it was enough to etch fear into their hearts.
Mommy... What did they just see?
A hologram? A projected image?
Their legs turned to noodles and their bodies shook so much you would think they were experiencing an earthquake right now.
.
"Help me..." the ghostly figure whispered, her voice a haunting melody of despair. Only, there was a hint of playfulness wrapped up in this despair, one that made the trio's eyes plead with mercy. This isn't real! This can't be real!
They wished they could convince themselves otherwise, but would a projection know how to open a stall door?
Creak~
The door was finally opened at a full 90 degree angle, and seemed to stay in place, as though some invisible force was holding onto it.
Drip, Drip, DRIP—
Everyone screamed internally when their bodies fall on their backs, with invisible forces now dragging them off into the darkness. Help! Help!... Who can help them now?
Bruuuhhhh~
The brutal wind stormed past the scene, prying their hands away from the objects.
Litia grabbed the corner bend of a hallway, but found the wind was prying her fingers off one by one. And with each finger that came undone, her heart continuously fell into her belly, wailing and screaming at the top of her lungs for help.
Soon, they were dragged back into the bathroom stall, where they found over 12 other floating hideous beings smiling at them with saliva spewing from the corners of their grotesque mouths. BLUGH~
IF THEY COUNTED THE NUMBER OF TIMES they puked this night, they felt it would be more than 10. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.
Now, after seeing these floating ghosts grow larger and larger the closer they advanced, everyone had an inkling of what these bastards wanted to do with them.
FEAST!
"Help! Help! Aunt GWEN! Uncle HOGGARD!!"
Where the hell are you all when they need you?
Tick-tock.
Tick-Tock.
Time seemed frozen in place when the trio found themselves levitating in the air with their mouths pried open.
Ahh... it's not that these things want to feast on them, but that they want to enter into their mouths instead?
NO! NO! NO!!!~
They don't want them in their mouths!
Aiii~
The creatures were laughing happily, and slowly transforming themselves into smaller clouds of smoke. But just then, the bathroom door swung open with force.
It was Aunt Gwen and Uncle Hoggard.
"Who the hell is making so much noise at this time of the n–"
