Chapter 194 A Bad Feeling
Ludwig’s lips paused for half a second.
Then, with his gaze slightly lowered, he let out a small laugh. “Now that you mention it…”
He reached over and gave Jean’s shoulder a light tap. “But you’re an exception.”
And just like that, the conversation ended.

Ludwig glanced over at the few members still lounging in the lounge, then gave a subtle nod toward the exit a quiet sign that he was about to leave.
The others immediately caught on.
“Leaving already, Ludwig?” someone joked lazily. “I’m gonna miss you, man.”
Ludwig didn’t bother responding. He just raised an eyebrow ever so slightly, then turned and led Jean out. of the building.
Outside, he pulled his mask back on..
Under the watchful eye of the “ghost” girl at the entrance, the two of them calmly strolled through the rest of the haunted house, acting like any other ordinary guests. Then, without rushing, they made their way out through the exit.
But the moment Jean stepped outside, she instinctively frowned.
Something felt off.
The amusement park was as loud and crowded as ever, with sunlight pouring down in thick golden layers.
And yet… it was as if something cold and sharp was crawling across her skin – a slithering, unseen gaze. Like a venomous snake’s tongue flicking over her flesh, sticky and chilling.
Goosebumps rose instantly along her arms.
Ludwig, noticing the change in her expression, gave her a puzzled look. “What is it, Jean?”
Jean lifted her eyes and hesitated. “You don’t feel it?”
Shouldn’t Ludwig, with his instincts, have noticed it before me? Why is he so calm?
But as soon as the thought hit her, she shook her head and quickly added, “It’s nothing…”
I’m probably just imagining things.
If there really were any danger, Ludwig would’ve noticed it before I did. No doubt about it – it’s just my imagination.
