Chapter 375 - HAPPILY EATING 'DOG FOOD'
LUO YAN squealed happily. The coaster just went down a high circular bend and it made all the players riding the coaster shout. Some in excitement, some in fear, and some maybe both. Luo Yan certainly belonged to the first category. He really liked this kind of rides.
But the big rabbit beside him seemed to not share the same sentiment. Because the moment when the coaster went up or when it went down, he could feel his whole body stiffening up. Although there was no screaming, his body freezing up was quite a good indication that he didn't like this ride.
Luo Yan suddenly remembered when he went to the amusement park with his father. His father almost had the same reaction whenever they rode rides that involved dangerous heights. He also froze up and then after the ride, his face would be extremely pale. Luo Yan could tell that his father didn't like those rides one bit. But he still catered to Luo Yan.
He had a feeling that Shen Ji Yun was probably having the same dilemma as his father. That kind when he just wanted to get off of this ride but he couldn't because Luo Yan liked it. And his like was more important than his own comfort. Both Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan's father both had a cold handsome exterior but deep inside, both of them were adorable softies.
Luo Yan looked forward and saw that they were entering the first tunnel. His excitement level quickly doubled. Putting the tunnel right after that high circular track was a good idea. In this way, that excitement from that drop was still fresh in the people's mind. Seeing ghosts and other scary beings after that would surely double the fear factor.
Shen Ji Yun who also saw the tunnel tried to calm himself. His heartbeat was still accelerating because of that sharp drop. He didn't like this kind of acceleration. He'd rather Luo Yan be the cause than some ride track.
Once he calmed down, he turned to Luo Yan. "Yan Yan, if you get scared—"
"I'll hold onto Brother Ji Yun," Luo Yan finished. He turned to Shen Ji Yun, his peach blossom eyes bent into crescents. "If I see a super scary ghost, I'll definitely grab Brother Ji Yun's arm tightly. You definitely can't dislike me, okay?"
"Of course! How could I ever dislike you?" Shen Ji Yun quickly said.
The two girls who were sitting behind the two blushed a little. Because both were listening carefully to the conversation of the two since earlier. In short, they were eavesdropping. The two girls looked at each other. And their eyes seemed to be saying;
'These two are definitely a couple!'
They were not one of those girls who loved to ship guys together all the time. But seeing the two, even though both were dressed really weird – heck, one was even wearing a rabbit mascot suit, they still could feel that the two had a special connection. And that connection was being perfectly reflected at the way they acted around each other. Anyone who observed them long enough could see that.
The two girls felt that if they continued to observe them longer, they would definitely be fed dog food continuously.
The coaster entered the tunnel and it was complete darkness.
Luo Yan didn't close his eyes and instead looked around. It seemed that night vision of his race wouldn't be of use here because he literally couldn't see anything. Probably to add to the scary factor.
As he looked around, a woman hanging on the ceiling suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight. There was a rope tied to her neck and it was tilted in a weird angle. Her skin was extremely pale and her eyes were bulging. It's like how one would look after they hanged themselves and died.
Luo Yan could hear the sudden screams of people. They were probably surprised because of the ghost just came out of nowhere. But he just tilted his head and stared at the hanging ghost. It wasn't really that scary, to be honest.
He glanced at Shen Ji Yun at that moment and saw that the other was completely still. Was he waiting for him to suddenly grab his arm because of too much fear?
He hadn't had time to think more about it because a screeching sound suddenly filled the tunnel. Then a female ghost wearing a white dress came howling forward. Her long black hair was flowing around her in a creepy manner. She had no eyes, only blank eye sockets. Her mouth was opened in a howl. She almost looked like that famous painting – 'The Scream'.
"Die! Everyone should die!!!"
Luo Yan winced a bit because her screech was like a nail scratching a metal surface. This time, the screams that echoed around the tunnel was much louder. Showing that the players were much more scared of this ghost compared to the first one. Maybe because this female ghost looked scarier and that she was trying to touch the players on each cart.
"Ah! No! Don't touch me!"
"Get away!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Soon, it would be their cart's turn. He suddenly felt the person beside him stiffening. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun. Although he couldn't see his face because of the rabbit head gear, he could feel that all his nerves were strung tightly. As if he couldn't relax until something that made him this way disappeared.
Luo Yan's eyes widened a bit. No way. Could it be--?
"Yan Yan, don't be afraid," Shen Ji Yun suddenly said to him.
If he didn't listen carefully, Luo Yan would probably not hear the slight tremble in the other's voice. Then he suddenly felt Shen Ji Yun's body jerk. The reason? The female ghost appeared in front of them. That reaction completely confirmed Luo Yan's guess.
The female ghost suddenly lurched at them, extending her hand with blood on it.
"Die!!! Die!!! Die!!!"
When he was about to touch Shen Ji Yun, Luo Yan felt the other's body stiffening even more. She smiled and then hugged Shen Ji Yun's rabbit's arm.
He closed his eyes and acted all afraid. "Brother Ji Yun, I'm scared."
The moment he hugged his arm, Shen Ji Yun's body completely relaxed. It seemed that he even failed to feel the touch of the female ghost. Instead, he just patted Luo Yan's hand gently.
"It's okay. I'm here. Nothing will happen."
The two girls behind happened to see this scene. The both of them completely forgot to scream and just happily accepted the dog food thrown at them.
