Chapter 396 The Nightmare Begins!

"Pfft~... The goddess is so cute! Goddess, goddess, you can do it. Take brother Chris down in one swoop. I believe in you!!"

"No way! Brother Chris, don't let her win. Though I hate nothing against Emily, my brother Chris is still my favorite husband!"

...

The barrage was happy watching the group fulfill the many side-dares on the list. Of course, the main dare was for them to stay all night in this supposedly haunted Grave site.

Maybe at the start, they did feel ominous about its appearance. But over an hour had passed, and nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

This made their fears reside, and everyone returned to their playful natures.

When they think of how scared they were previously, they can only shake their heads at their own wild imaginations.

Obviously, there were no such dangers here.

What's more, with all the safety locks and measures already installed on the inside, do you think anyone would be able to break in and harm their beloved anchors so easily?

Everyone had thrown the matter at the back of their heads. And now, they were watching the anchors play truth or dare. It was pretty fun and interesting.

With the initial fear factor gone, some people began bellowing at the group, daring them to step outside and run around the graveyard 5 times over while calling spooky out the names of the dead on the gravestones.

Rudolf and the others felt they could do the dare of stepping outside. But if you ask them to call out the names of the dead, now you're just pushing your luck... Not going to happen.

They didn't want to admit it, but a little part of them believed in such ridiculous thoughts related to the supernatural.

Though logic told them nothing would happen if they called out those teams on the tombstones, they still didn't want to do it.

On such a night, it was best to be a good person. But for the dare of stepping out, they could do it, but it had to be together.

Chris smacks this thigh heavily. "Right! Let's do it. But this is the first and the last request we'll do if it concerns outside... After all, this place might not be safe for us too. So you all understand, right?"

The barrage nodded heavily.

"Of course, anchor. Who knows if an escaped convict is hiding around these parts?"

"That's right. Everyone, let's be a person for once. Don't give our anchors such anymore. Leave our poor anchors alone!"

Seeing that many had come together to support them, the group collectively released sighs.

That's all they wanted.

Alright.

The gang was just about to stand when a familiar sound suddenly echoed.

Czee-zeez~

Eh?

Jenny and the rest looked at their live stream cameras and phones, realizing they all had a static surge. The static noise was buzzing loudly.

"No signal!" 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Everyone's face turned grim, and their bodies frowned with worry. The previous fears all came with a big bang to their hearts.

"The bars... I've got no bars."

"Me too!... My Livestream is cut off. Quickly, try calling someone... Emergency numbers also work with no reception, right?" 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

"F***!" Someone cursed. "It's not going through either."

"What?!!"

This time, everyone's face became chalk-white.

How can that be?

"This doesn't make sense!"

"That's right. No matter where one is, the 3-digit emergency number must always go through... Could it be your phone?"

"Guys, let me try with my phone," Bianca commented, pressing the touchscreen pad with trembling fingers.

"Put it on speaker."

Bianca took heed to the advice, doing as told... But this time, she and everyone heard a burst of laughter that would later plague them for the following days to come.

Bahahahahhahahahah~

Ahhh!-

Bianca threw her phone with a haunted look.

~Pap.

The phone landed, but the call didn't end. However, everyone was huddled together in a sandwich, pushing themselves far away from the phone.

Bahahhahhahahaha~

The eerie voice laughed in raw amusement.

Who are you calling? Do you want to escape? Well... It's too late for that, isn't it?"

No!... What did the stranger on the other side mean?

Everyone was in disarray but soon heard something trickling around them, only to see fluid dampen Emily's pants.

They were just about to comfort her when her expression caused them to worry.

She was frozen with widened eyes, staring in one direction.

Eh?

They shook her fiercely, too panicked for her sake. Wouldn't she have had a heart attack, right?

"Emily... Emily... What's wrong?"

The frozen girl couldn't speak properly as she lifted her trembling fingers and pointed at the windows next to the doors.

They had been playing in a semicircle with their backs against the door, maybe to forget their initial fear about the gravesite.

For some reason, everyone stiffened even more, slowly turning their heads toward the windows behind them. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

And in one instance, their eyes became transfixed with an unfathomable light that left them unable to look away no matter how much they wished.

Those mouths gaped open, uncertain whether to breathe or scream, as their lips grew slack with droopy.

What they saw was something their eyes could see, but their mouths could feel heavy to speak of.

Bianca hurriedly placed her hands on her mouth as tears streamed down her rosy cheeks.

The brings she stared at all smiled unnaturally, with their kids raising high to the back of their ears.

Monsters... Monsters...

Somebody... Anybody... Please, help them.

Tears trickled down everyone's face as hot fluid also flowed from their lower regions.

They seemed to see their lives flash before their eyes and recalled the strange man's words.

Every 100 years, the graveyard carries people away, never to be seen again.

Their heads buzzed as they now felt the legend might be true. No matter how much they debated to believe in science, the banging noises from the doors and windows allowed them to feel death's claws already gripping their throats.

No!... No!...

Please don't take them. They still had families they loved, things they'd never done, and dreams they wished to fulfill.

They were still young and in their prime.

They didn't want to die... They didn't want to die...

~BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Oooo--pen up... Oooo-pen up."

"Let us in... Let us in..."

The crazy unnatural voices pleaded for them to open up.

No! Go away!!!... Leave them alone!

When the creatures saw they weren't being obedient, their smiles changed into distorted expressions, and their eyes glowed with fury.

"OPEN UP!"

"OPEN UP!"

~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang!

Rudolf felt his mind threatening to go blank. But he dared not faint under such circumstances. Everyone was the same.

Who would faint knowing they might be long dead once they wake up later?

"Guys... I'm scared." Jenny's legs were noodles, and her brain mushy.

Rudolf wanted to tell them it would be alright. But even he was petrified out of his pants.

With their heads lowered, no one dared to look at the figures leaning outside their windows. Their courage deflated like a punctured tire.

They had no courage to look at the many beings outside for fear they would faint after. The mere sight made them gag and puke even more.

The room now smells of vomit and pee. But who the hell cared about this now?

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Everyone was gathered together, holding each other and keeping their heads low, too scared to think. Now, they understood why this place had such do

If they knew this would happen, they would never have done such a dangerous dare, even if you gave them one billion.

Eh?

Everyone froze, no longer hearing the sounds of loud bangs on the windows, doors, and walls.

They slowly raised their heads to see nothing... No monsters leaning against the windows.

Could they have gone?

—Silence–

No one dared to move, only staring at the windows.

The outside space, from what they could see, still looked the same as when they first came in... No crazy monsters roaming about, which made them doubt if it was their hallucinations or not.

But soon, they saw a familiar yet unfamiliar silhouette slowly approaching the left window.

It was him!

The strange man they passed earlier in the stairway... The man with the feel slash on his face.

Another person… Another person…

As if they saw their salvation, many quickly stood to rush towards the door after seeing another period for what felt like an eternity.

But Rudolf and Chris quickly stopped them.

"Wait!!!"

"Don't open!!!"

Something did add up.

The man's voice bellowed from outside, his gruesome face flashing with strange emotions. "What's wrong? Why don't you open up for me?"

Rudolf thinned his lips tightly. "Didn't he say he had to rush back to see his wife and children?"

Yes! If he left since then, how can he be here now?

Bianca and the rest also stepped away from the door, looking at him with bulging eyes.

They were right.

This man was too suspicious!
