Chapter 600: Can’ t Get Out

William was stunned. “Oh, right…” There were no curtains in ancient times. Then what was the thing that was blown by the wind when they arrived?
The children screamed in fear. To be precise, William and Emma screamed, scaring Amelia so much that she screamed as well. Then she broke into a run!
“A ghost!”
There were no curtains, which could only mean one thing. The wind that blew just now was not curtains at all. It was the bride’s wedding dress hanging on the beam!
Henry glanced over his shoulder. There were indeed no curtains. Nothing at all. He’d been so startled earlier that he hadn’t noticed what color the curtains were.
Henrys expression gradually lost control. Didn’t his brother clear the area?
Didn’t he remove all the things that acted as ghosts and frightened people? What was going on now?
Everyone ran outside into the courtyard. Henry barely managed to steady himself and maintain his gentle image. Lucas’s little face tightened even more. William and Emma’s hair stood on end.
Amelia caught her breath and asked, “Brother William, is this courtyard very big?”
William opened the checkpoint description and looked at the topographic map behind him. “There are a total of 28 rooms in this courtyard, but from the general direction, the atmosphere is reversed. The main room, the ear room, the east wing, the west wing, and the back room.”
There were six rooms. They were relatively small. At the entrance, they were the gatehouse, accounting room, living room, storage room, and so on. From the other end, there was a second courtyard. Inside was the main courtyard, facing the north, was the main room. On both sides were the east wing and the west wing. Behind the main room, there were three rooms, which became the back room. The main room was the residence of the owner of the house. The east wing was higher than the west wing. The east wing was the residence of the descendants. The back room was the residence of the daughter. Sometimes, it was also called the backyard. If the girl wanted to go out, she would pass by the main room. In ancient times, this was for the purpose of receiving parental supervision.
“We just came out of the main room. There are usually three main rooms. Only one in the middle of the main room opens. It’s called the central room. The rooms on both sides are open. One of the rooms on both sides is usually a bedroom, and the other is a study.”
Amelia was in a daze as she listened. She nodded and said, “A rich family from ancient times.”
Emma was confused. “What is all this? It’s too complicated. I don’t understand.’
William pointed to the place where they had just come out. “We just came out, right? Inside is the bedroom. It’s the bride and groom’s wedding room. Outside is the central room, a place to eat and drink tea. There’s also the room on the left. We haven’t gone over yet…”
To William, it was easy to remember these things. The distribution map was printed in his mind.
William: “Now, the first step is to find the missing groom.” In the background of the story, the bride died tragically, but the groom disappeared for no reason. This was a haunted house. There was definitely no way to bury a corpse underground or hide it in a well, so the groom must be hiding in one of the 28 rooms.
Emma was dumbfounded. “So many? How do we find them?”
Henry, who was standing at the side, was also stunned. He did not know why he had agreed to come to the Haunted House and could not leave…
Henry said, “The ancient courtyard covers a large area, but this is a haunted house. It’s just a replica according to the ratio. The place is small, so it’s easy to check.” After walking through this courtyard, could they not find a way out? With this thought in mind, everyone decided to start searching from the outside to the inside. They would first go out to the courtyard outside…
Fortunately, this place was built. The six rooms were only the size of a bathroom. The props on display were relatively simple, and they were quickly found. Outside the rooms was a narrow alley road. They could see everything at a glance. There was nothing.
Usually, when guests came to the haunted house, there would be more or less staff hidden in these places. They would act as ghosts and suddenly jump out to scare the guests. Now, there was nothing at a glance. It was so quiet that it was strange. It was even scarier.
Henry’s temples throbbed. His brother must have gotten someone to clear the scene. There was no mistake about that. But why did it seem even more terrifying after the scene was cleared?
Henry even went to push the door. It was locked tightly. It seemed that they had to find the key. The group continued to search and went to the second courtyard.
William explained from the side, “This is called entering the door twice. In ancient times, it was said that girls would never step out of the door. Even with this door as the boundary, they would not step out.” Most of the activities in the courtyard and backyard were in the backyard.
Amelia was surprised.. “Isn’t it boring to be locked up in such a small place every day?”
