Wade looked at the few lines of text behind the checkpoint background and felt his scalp tingle.

"It says that after the door opens, everyone sees a room full of severed limbs as if they are bitten off and eaten by something... only bloody bones and some uneaten flesh and skin remain..."

"Everyone's first reaction is that the bride is the problem, say she is a fierce ghost who eats the groom on their wedding night..."

Susie asked, "Isn't that right?"

Wade shook his head and said, "Later, they find out that all the scattered arms, leg bones, and ribs on the floor belong to the bride... however, the bride is still hanging in the middle of the room in her intact red wedding dress..."

"To be precise, only a head is hanging on the beam, along with the wedding dress. The dress is empty inside... the bride's body is separated, but the groom has disappeared without a trace."

In other words, the only person who died horribly in the room was the bride, whose she was the one who scattered on the floor and hung on the beam.

"That night, no one who enters the three-in-four courtyard come out. We are now in the bride's wedding room..."

When Wade read this part, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Susie and the others instinctively looked up at the beam...

Luckily, there was nothing there.

They just suddenly felt a chilly sensation behind their back.

Wade said, "Our mission is: 1. Find the groom, 2. Escape from this three-in-four courtyard... we are considered to complete the game after finishing all the missions."

Lucy immediately turned around and said, "That's easy. We just need to leave the way we came in."

Game over!

Lucy felt proud of her tact.

Wade shook his head and said, "We can't leave. The 'wall' behind us closes as soon as we enter."

They turned around, and indeed, they couldn't tell where they came in from.

They only remembered that when they entered, the door was inconspicuous and slightly small. They didn't pay attention at that time… and just entered the house.

"Let's hurry up and get out of this room." Wade urged.

They quickly walked towards the door.

The room was quite large, with an inner and outer space separated by a pearl curtain in the middle.

Seeing the curtain, Susie walked and asked curiously, "Do ancient times have curtains too?"

Ancient people only had gauze windows in the TV dramas she watched before.

There were often scenes where villains would secretly blow the drug powder and poke holes in the windows with their saliva-soaked fingers.

Wade was taken aback by the question and said, "Yeah, that's right..."

In ancient times, there were no curtains. So, what was that thing that blew up when they arrived just now?

Several children screamed in fear - to be precise, Wade and Lucy screamed, which scared by Susie, who also screamed, and then they ran outside!

"It's a ghost!!!"

Without curtains, it could only mean one thing. The thing that flew up just now wasn't a curtain but the bride's wedding dress hanging from the beam!

Paul turned back and looked, indeed, there were no curtains or anything.

After the initial shock, no one even noticed the color of the 'curtain.'

Paul's expression gradually became uncontrollable.

Didn't Martin clear everything out?

Didn't he remove all the things like the person who pretended to be a ghost and the scary things?

What was going on here...

Within a few thoughts, everyone was already in the courtyard outside.

Paul still managed to maintain his gentle image.

Hamza's face became even tenser.

Wade and Lucy's hair stood on end by an inch.

Susie took a breath and asked, "Wade, is the three-in-four courtyard big?"

Wade opened the checkpoint instructions and looked at the topography map behind it.

"This courtyard has a total of 28 rooms, but if we divide it according to the main directions, there are only a few: the southern room, the principal room, the side room, the east wing room, the west wing room, and the back room."

There were six small southern rooms, located at the entrance door (main gate), which included the main room, the accounting room, the reception room, and the storage room.

By entering the second courtyard from the southern room, you will see the main body of the courtyard. The main room faced north, with the east wing and west wing on either side and the third courtyard was behind the main room, known as the back room.

The main room was where the homeowner lives, and the east wing room was higher in status than the west wing room. The east and west wings room were where the descendants live.

The back room was where the daughter lives, sometimes called the backyard. If the daughter wants to leave, she must pass through the room, which implies she had agreed to be supervised by her parents.

"The main room is where we just come out of... It usually has three rooms of main rooms, with only the middle one of the main rooms opening the door known as the main hall. The rooms on both sides open towards it, with one being a bedroom and the other a study room of the side rooms."

Susie nodded absent-mindedly and said, "It's a big family."

Lucy was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? It's too complicated, I don't understand."

Wade pointed to where they had just come out of and said, "We just come out of the inner room, which is the bedroom. It is also the newlywed's room. The outer room is the main hall, where they eat and drink tea. And there's that room on the left that we haven't been to yet..."

For Wade, it was easy to remember things like the main room, wing rooms, and side rooms. The layout was already printed in his mind like a map.

Wade said, "First, we need to find the missing groom."

In the story background, the bride died tragically, and the groom disappeared inexplicably.

This was a haunted house, so it was unlikely that there would be anything as perverse as burying a "corpse" underground or hiding it in a well.

Therefore, the groom must be hidden in one of these 28 rooms.

Lucy was lost and asked, "How are we going to find him?"

Paul stood by the side and disheveled in the wind.

He didn't know how he ended up on this thief ship... no, should he say it was a ghost ship?

He said, "In ancient times, the three courtyards take up a lot of space, but this is a haunted house, only a replica according to proportion, so the place is small and it's easy to check through it all."

After walking through this courtyard, wouldn't they still be able to find a way out?

With this thought in mind, they decided to start searching from the outside and worked their way in...

Fortunately, it was just a set, and the six southern rooms were only as big as a bathroom. The props on display were also relatively simple, so they quickly finished searching.

Outside the southern house was a narrow alleyway road that could be seen immediately, and there was nothing there.

Usually, when tourists came to play in the haunted house, these places were hiding people who pretended to ghost and suddenly jumped out to scare tourists.

Now, there was nothing there when looked towards there, and it was eerily quiet, which make it even more terrifying.

Paul's temples throbbed.

Martin must have ordered the area to be cleared out, that was certain, but why did it seem even scarier now...

After searching through the southern house in the first courtyard, Paul even went to push the big door, which was locked tightly, and it seemed that they needed to find the key.

They continued and stepped into the second courtyard.

"This is called the second door." Wade did not forget to explain, "In ancient times, girls are not allowed to leave the main door and had to stay within the second door."

They only move around in the courtyard and backyard and spend most of their time in the backyard.

Susie was surprised and asked, "Being locked up in a small place every day, isn't it very stuffy?"

Paul couldn't help but smile and said, "What we see now is small, but in ancient times, the backyard of a big household is very spacious, with pavilions, gardens, and even lakes and rockeries if the scale is larger..."

He explained patiently like a trickle of water. His voice was warm and pleasant, not too fast, or slow.

However, as soon as they turned around the screen of the second courtyard’s door, they looked up and saw a big red wedding dress hanging abruptly in front of the main room’s door opposite the second courtyard!

Paul's warm voice abruptly raised an octave, "Fake... Ah-ah, it's a fake rockery!"

Paul’s elegant and warm demeanor image instantly shattered into pieces!

Wade also jumped up, and Lucy saw it this time. She screamed as she hid behind Susie. Wade's face changed, and he reflexively stuck close to Susie.

"Ghost...ghost, ghost, ghost!" Lucy was so scared that she stuttered.

They remembered very clearly when they left just now, that there was no set of wedding dresses at the entrance of the main room!
