Chapter 26: Corridor of Horror

Seeing that everyone had chosen her, Yuna smiled and gestured to everyone. Then, she walked up to the roulette and turned it. The roulette began to spin rapidly.

Yuna participated in a local variety show for the first time, and she did not know the secrets behind the roulette spin. So as she turned it with force, no one knew where the needle would land.

As the speed of the roulette slowed down, the words on it became more apparent. Everyone stared at the roulette for a moment, afraid that it would turn into some highly challenging game. They saw the needle skip over the True and False Masks and stopped steadily on top of the Corridor of Horror.

The audience immediately burst into a round of applause. It was the most exciting game.

The program team had meticulously prepared frightening NPCs and props in Corridor of Horror. A few artistes wailed in line with the atmosphere, especially a few girls.. The petite female artiste even trembled slightly.

This Corridor of Horror was a new game prepared by the directing team. Yuna did not watch the previous episodes, so she did not understand why everyone had such commotion. She only knew that this should be something similar to a haunted house.

After the host briefly introduced a few rules, he asked the artistes to form into pairs.

There were two male and four female artistes present, including Yuna. In a horror game, it was naturally safer to pair with the guys. Therefore, Shirley Ma and the other petite and cute female artiste wanted to choose the guys to form a team.

However, Chloe remembered what her manager had told her to hype up the game with John Wei. She deliberately wanted to see Yuna and Shirley fight, so she immediately grabbed the hem of John’s clothes and said pitifully, “I’m so scared. Can you form a team with me?”

John could only agree, “Sure.”

After the two of them quickly formed a team and stood apart, the remaining four looked at each other in dismay.

Shirley, who had wanted to suggest the use of ‘rock, paper, scissors’ to assign teammates, rolled her eyes and said, “How do we pair up now?”

Yuna trained to be impervious to all kinds of perverse variety shows in Country X previously, and she was not afraid of such things at all. She immediately expressed her stance, “I’m not afraid of these things. I can pair up with anyone.”

Seeing that Yuna did not show any signs of nervousness, Willy jokingly said, “There was someone who said he wasn’t afraid like you previously. He was so scared that he ended up running out the moment he entered the corridor. He even lost his shoes.”

The few of them laughed very cooperatively. Shirley glanced at the petite girl who did not seem to have much presence and asked, “Joey, who do you want to team up with?”

As expected, Joey Xu, who has a character profile of cute and pretty style, chose the tall Willy. Thus, Shirley and Yuna formed a team.

As everyone had already formed a team, the host led them to the entrance of the Corridor of Horror, indicating that each group should choose an entry.

Yuna and Shirley chose the entrance on the left, Joey and Willy chose the middle, and Chloe’s group stood on the right.

“There is only one goal for us, and that is to be the first to take out the key at the finishing line. Let’s go, my little friends!” The host formed the shape of the letter ‘C’ with his hand. And with his command, Shirley took the lead and pulled Yuna along.

This road was completely dark, with only a small lamp in front guiding the way, it was impossible to see the situation clearly at other surrounding places, so it made one feel that something strange would suddenly pop out.

“Senior, you don’t have to be nervous. I will protect you.” As the vanguard who walked in front, Shirley was a little afraid when she first came in. Thinking of her teammate, she patted her chest and encouraged the other party.

However, as soon as Shirley’s words fell, a figure passed in front of her, and a gust of cold air pounced on her face. Shirley subconsciously screamed, “What was that!”

Yuna wished to respond to Shirley’s comforting words. However, she was not frightened by the ghost, but she was startled by Shirley’s scream. She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “Be careful, do you want me to walk in front?”

“No need, no need.” Shirley was startled. She mustered up her courage and moved forward.

Yuna was behind Shirley and could only see the back of her head. She was not aware of the road in front of her. All she could do was turn and try to recognize the pictures on the wall. To her surprise, she found that they were all portraits of traditional big-headed dolls.

These pictures were bizarre. Some dolls had slanted eyes and crooked mouths, while some had ferocious faces. In any case, they did not look like any usual friendly big-headed dolls.

Just as Yuna discovered the pictures on the wall, a nursery rhyme chimed out in the dark corridor.

“March the 3rd, up the mountain. Why does everyone carry baskets? April the 4th, raindrops fall…”
