Chapter 408


    Leo felt slightly embarrassed. At his age, he still found himself seeking refuge behind his Uncle Andre


    whenever he got scared. Therefore, he decided to stay put.


    Andre didn’t force him. He figured if Leo was really that terrified, he would eventually join him.


    The two guys inside were already spooked, jumping at the slightest noise and running aimlessly around


    the room. Before long, they found themselves in another chamber. This one was with a distinctively


    eerie theme.


    As soon as they entered, the atmosphere changed. A fog began to fill the room, and out of the mist, a


    figure appeared. On closer inspection, it was a skeleton. It was a girl wearing a school uniform, and her


    face was as white as a sheet.


    “Ah!!!”


    Before the ghost, a girl in a bloody school uniform, had a chance to start her scare tactics, a scream


    echoed through the room. “I haven’t even started scaring you yet.”


    Michael directed her. “Go after them. This theme is a haunted school.”


    So, they found themselves being chased around by a schoolgirl ghost. The tapping of her shoes


    echoed eerily in the silent room. “Come out. I know you’re here. It’s fun. Come y with me.”


    The father-son duo fled aimlessly until they found themselves in what seemed like a safer room. They


    shut the door behind them, only to hear a knock echoing in the silence. Each knock felt like a punch to


    their hearts, making their legs go weak.


    In their fear, they forgot about their pretense of being mad men. They didn’t dare open the door. But


    inside the room, there was something even more terrifying.


    The room was filled with dolls – old, bloody, and some that seemed to move on their own!


    Then, an eerieughter filled the room, which was a sound deliberately added in post-production. The


    Hearing this, both of them were rooted to the spot. Their eyes were wide open in terror. They even


    forgot to run.


    The previous fear made them run instinctively, but this baby doll room made their legs shake


    uncontrobly. They both ended up wetting their pants.


    Then, the baby’sughter turned into a wail, echoing continuously in their ears. A room of dolls all


    seemed to be staring at them.


    Ellory was the first to surrender, stuttering in fear, “No, no, don’te for us. We didn’t harm you. Your


    mother is alive. You can be reincarnated.”


    Andre frowned at the screen, puzzled.


    Kyle, another family member, kneeled on the ground. “Don’te for me. I didn’t harm you. It wasn’t


    me. Don’te closer. We’ve already paid the price.”


    Leo also frowned, wondering what was happening.


    The knocking stopped at that moment. The father and son got up from the floor, finding nothing scarier


    in the entire room than the baby dolls. They were frightened enough to prefer dealing with other ghosts.


    However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw a high school girl standing at the door with a


    creepy smile. The light hit her from under her chin, making her look frighteningly ominous. Also hanging


    in mid-air was a red-dressed ghost drifting towards them, as ifing to im their lives.


    At this point, Ellory and Kyle felt like fainting.


    Michael appeared in his costume, floating there, looking like a real ghost from hell. To be more


    convincing, his voice also turned eerie, "I heard, you guys are fools, I like to y with fools the most."


    Then, various crawling things, mechanical walkers, and jumpers from the corridor all headed towards


    this room. Behind them was an inescapable nightmare of a baby''s cry, and in front of them was a group


    of ghosts that were terrifying.


    Ellory was the first to lose control, kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, "I''m not crazy, I''m not


    crazy, ah!"


    Kyle just exchanged a nce with Michael, terrified to the point of copsing on the ground, "Help,


    help!"


    Leo was ready to take them out when Andre stopped him. “Let’s use this opportunity to find out who


    they were apologizing to.”


    Leo nodded and sent a message to Michael.


    Someone in the production room saw the message on Michael’s phone and ryed the information to


    Michael through the crew’s internalmunication system.


    Michael, dressed as a ghost, with blood dripping from his nails, asked in a chillingly low voice, “Who is


    the child you killed? Who? Who?”


    The ‘high school girl’ moved closer, with the sound of a baby’s cry echoing from the room behind her.


    Unbeknownst to them, a crawling ghost had already reached Kyle. He was so scared that he fainted.


    Only Ellory was left in the room.


    “The child... was my daughter’s,” he confessed.


    Leo was taken aback. Kyle’s only married daughter was his mother! Andre also suspected that this


    might be rted to Naomi’s miscarriage.


    The ‘high school girl’ threatened, “You’ll have to join me if you lie.”


    Fearing for his life, Ellory confessed everything. “It is my daughter, Naomi. I didn’t mean for this to


    happen...”


    Back then, the Cedillo family was consumed by tragedy. Their lives were bleak and colorless. Only


    Naomi, the sole woman in the family, was holding the family together.


    Then, Naomi got pregnant. Her pregnancy was like a burst of color in the Cedillo family’s


    monochromatic life.


    The family finally had something to celebrate, and the gloomy atmosphere lightened.


    Hansen felt a renewed sense of hope. Andre visited Naomi a few times. Bruce even got promoted.


    Naomi’s status in the family rose implicitly.


    The Cedillo family was slowly improving, and surprisingly, they didn’t fall apart.


    However, the person who wanted to see the Cedillo family crumble, to see them lose all their women


    and live in sorrow forever, couldn’t tolerate this. He wanted to ensure that the Cedillo family remained


    colorless, and made their life a living hell.


    It was hismand that sealed Naomi’s fate. Hiswfully wedded wife and eldest daughter were green


    with envy over everything Naomi had. Their jealousy was a lethal weapon for him.


    Years ago, his wife and daughter were manipted by this man into killing Naomi. They obeyed his


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    orders, exploiting Naomi’s gratitude towards Mr. Rodrigo. They told her, “Your grandpa is on hisst


    legs. Come back to bid him a final farewell.” That was how they tricked her into returning to the Mastin


    family.


    Little did Naomi know, her return would lead to her imprisonment by the Mastin family. They locked her


    in the basement, torturing her with all means until her legs were covered in crimson, until she passed


    out from the pain.


    In fact, he could have killed Naomi directly. But after all, that meant taking a life, staining his hands with


    blood. So he decided to wait it out and let the grim reaper take her naturally when she could no longer


    bear the torment.


    In the end, the Cedillo family stormed the Mastin house, forcing Rodrigo to reveal Naomi’s


    whereabouts.
