Susie pointed to the haunted house and said happily to Paul, "Look, this is what girls should play with!"

Paul, who was elegant and refined, stood at the door of the haunted house and looked disheveled in the wind.

He struggled to maintain his usual gentle smile and asked, "Susie, are you sure you want to play with this?"

Susie nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes!"

Paul's illusions were shattered.

It would be better to go and play on the roller coaster, turbo drop, or pendulum swing ride...

Paul's expression remained unchanged and he asked gently, "Susie, you are still young. Children cannot enter the haunted house."

Susie asked, "Why can't children enter the haunted house?"

Paul explained patiently, "Because children's psychological development is not yet complete, and they are easily traumatized which will leave psychological trauma."

"What is psychological trauma?" Susie asked.

Paul explained patiently, "It refers to having experienced severe psychological trauma, such as being hurt or frighten... This led to the extent that one develops some stress reactions.'"

Paul tried his best to simplify the explanation, and Paul remained the same elegant and refined person as always.

Susie patted her chest and assured him, "Paul, you can rest assured that only ghosts will have psychological trauma. We won't!"

Paul responded with silence.

He looked at the visitor's notice and pointed to a line, he then said lies, "Look at this visitor's notice, it writes that children cannot play."

Susie couldn't read, but she recognized the number "14", and said, "It writes that you cannot play if you are 14 years old. We are not 14 years old yet!"

She was four and a half years old; Lucy had just turned six years old; Wade was seven years old, and Hamza was nine years old.

See, there wasn't even a 14-year-old among them.

Lucy said, "Exactly!"

Wade asked, "Paul, it writes that children under 14 years old need to be accompanied by a guardian, but it doesn’t write that children cannot enter."

Paul was speechless.

Hamza's small face was still cool, but he said jokingly, "Paul, are you scared?"

Paul doesn’t know what to say.

He only knew to ask Martin when in doubt.

Paul sent a message, "Martin, Susie wants to go play in the haunted house, but I can't convince her."

Martin replied, "Let her go."

Paul asked in confusion, "What?"

Paul continued to say, "Scary things can scare people to death. Isn't it unsuitable for children to play such games?"

On the other end of the phone, Martin pondered for a moment.

"It's not good to scare people. Wait a moment," he replied.

Paul breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Martin was the father of Wade and Hamza, and if he spoke, they would certainly listen. If they didn't go, Susie would listen to them.

Half a minute later.

"It's okay. I have arranged it. Just take them in." Martin said.

Paul was confused.

Ten minutes later.

Paul led four little kids and stood at the entrance of the first level of the haunted house.

He didn't even know how they got in!

What the heck!

Weren't kids under 14 years old not allowed in...

Wade said, "See, I tell you that kids under 14 years old need to be accompanied by adults, but they're not completely forbidden..."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck and didn't dare to say anything.

This haunted house, to be precise, was called "Haunted House Escape Room".

They had to find the item to pass through the first level or solve the case to reach the next level until they successfully escaped.

Wade just wanted to earn KPI for Susie just now.

He realized his legs were a little weak when he was standing at the entrance of the first level now.

Lucy was still excited. She felt afraid but eager to play.

Wade's little face was tense, and it was clear that he was a little nervous.

"Don't be afraid." Paul had to put on a brave face. But he still wore a gentle smile and said, "Martin should have made arrangements and it won't be too scary."

Paul knew Martin well; he was a fanatic about Susie. Whatever Susie wanted; he would find a way to achieve it.

He trusted Martin to have a sense of proportion.

So, when Martin said everything was arranged, he must had made special preparations on-site and removed anything scary.

That’s why Paul felt relaxed.

"Let's go." The gentle Paul even walked ahead and turned back to comfort Susie, "Don't worry, you had me..."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the curtains were flung up with a whoosh!

With a loud bang, a red candle on the table fell.

The red candle rolled a distance and stopped at Paul's feet.

Paul was speechless.

The words choked in his throat.

Susie turned around to comfort him, "Paul, don't be afraid. It's just the wind!"

Paul said, "...I am not afraid..."

He was embarrassed to be scared by a curtain in front of Susie.

He felt embarrassed but he steadied himself and looked around.

Wade picked up the clue and read out the background of this level, "The first level is called 'The Disappearance of the Groom', and the background is in ancient times..."

"In the xx-year, Miss Levine, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, has passed the age of 20 and has not yet married. To find a husband for her daughter, her father put up a notice..."

The general idea is that whoever married his daughter will receive 100,000 taels of silver as dowry, ten pieces of silk fabric, ten boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, and a three-story courtyard.

In theory, with so much wealth, there should be countless suitors, but after the notice was posted for a month, not a single person came forward.

It turned out that Miss Levine is not only ugly but also had a cursed fate. Before the notice was posted, she had already made four marriage contracts, but all ended tragically. The grooms died in various strange ways.

One died suddenly from a fatal illness, one was killed by a falling apple, one was bitten to death by a dog, and one fell into a well and died.

Miss Levine's reputation spread as she was the one who caused men to die before marrying her. What will happen after marrying her?

Who would want to marry her and risk their own life?

Bad Luck Ghost and Playful Ghost in Soul Calabash showed up with no alert.

The ugly ghost asked, "Am I uglier than her?"

Bad Luck Ghost said, "Wow, marry her and die? She's a real senior!"

Playful Ghost said, "It's so sad that they died before they could enjoy anything. At least they could have a good sleep before dying."

All the ghosts fell silent.

When did "playful" become "flirty"??

Susie asked, "What happen next?"

Wade continued, "Later, a scholar from another place who is rushing to take the examination comes. He is penniless and has no money to travel to the capital, so he sees the notice and decides to take a chance."

Bad Luck Ghost propped up its chin and said, "Boring. Why are all these ancient stories about scholars rushing to the capital for exams?"

Wade continued the story.

The scholar brought the notice to the Levine family, and the owner was satisfied with his scholar status, while Miss Levine was pleased with his handsome appearance.

"To avoid trouble, they get married that night..."

"The Levine family firmly believes that as long as Miss Levine gets married, all the curses would be broken."

The location of their marriage was in the three-story courtyard, which was one of the dowries. It was a large area, but because the wedding was rushed, there were not many people there. Only four maids, four servants, and a woman cooker came along.

"But something happens on their wedding night. There is a strong wind, and the sound of screaming comes from the newlywed's room."

"More specifically, it is the groom's screams and the sound of bones being chewed."

The maids and servants were terrified when they heard the stories of Miss Levine, so no one dared to go into the backyard.

They all ran out to find help, and after the officials arrived, they opened the door of the newlywed's room in front of everyone.

Upon seeing the scene inside, two people were so frightened that they fell back and their faces twisted in terror…They died on the spot!

Susie, Lucy, and the ghosts were all fascinated and quickly asked, "What are they seeing? What is happening inside???"
