The mechanism in the room was located under the carpet by the door. When Michelle stepped on it, the incandescent light began to flicker. The black cloth on the wall was lifted up, and the sizzling sound of electricity echoed intermittently across the room.
The TV was turned on. A female ghost with white clothes and long black hair covering her face appeared on the screen as she crawled forward.
The terrifying sound effect sent chills to everyone in the room.
The actress who played the female ghost hid behind the wall, ready to scare them.
However, thanks to the earplugs he was wearing, Leon couldn't hear any of the frightening sounds. Even though the sound was no longer there, he still wasn't brave enough to look anywhere but at Michelle's back.
Leon grabbed her phone and played an audio file. As soon as he clicked on it, the Bluetooth speaker came to life and began to play music. Although Leon couldn't hear it, he guessed it was creepier than music in the haunted house.
Michelle was pretending to be a ghost to scare the staff.
This piqued Leon's interest. He didn't know how she would frighten the actress playing ghost.
Behind the wall, the actress was about to climb out of the wall. All of a sudden, a soft lullaby rang out in the room.
"Welcome to my world. That's painted with sadness..."
The child's voice sounded very monotonous and swept through the actress's ears like a ghost.
Thinking it was another actress playing ghost, she continued to crawl forward, not minding what she had just heard.
When she was already at the edge of the TV frame, she expected to hear people screaming, but instead was met with silence. 'They must be really brave, ' she thought to herself.
"There's no light of sun. There you can't hear any sound at all..."
As the scary lullaby went on, the louder it became to the point that the sound drowned the music of the haunted house out.
The actress began to feel scared. She was starting to think this wasn't made by another actress. Suddenly, she remembered something. This lullaby wasn't part of the haunted house!
The actress froze in fear. Michelle saw her and approached her.
A pair of feet appeared in front of the actress. She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming as the lullaby continued to play.
She removed her long black wig to see what was in front of her. What greeted her was a pair of big eyes and a face marred with blood. It was Michelle, smiling impishly as the terrifying lullaby continued to play. Her big eyes and the dress she wore made her look like a doll.
The actress screamed and fled in terror. With nowhere to go, she found herself backed against a wall. "Where are you from?" she asked, her voice trembling in fear.
Michelle didn't hear her. When she saw how scared the actress was, she turned off the audio and wiped the ketchup off her hands and face. What was left was a proud smile.
Leon laughed as he took off his earplugs. He walked over to Michelle and rubbed her head.
"You naughty girl!"
Michelle had already taken off her earplugs, so she heard what he said. She stuck out her tongue playfully and held his hand as they walked away.
The staff who tried to frighten Michelle were scared by her. Leon, who was behind her, burst into laughter. For the first time, the haunted house was no longer terrifying for him.
All of the staff were so confused by what Michelle did. Even the people monitoring the cameras were so puzzled since they didn't know who was playing the ghost.
In the monitoring room, they could only see what was happening but couldn't hear the lullaby Michelle played. They thought it was just another actress playing a ghost.
Everything was so confusing that the manager had to call all the staff together to check.
Michelle didn't know that she caused such a big fuss. But it didn't matter to her. She was happy that she was finally able to exact her revenge as she left the haunted house, laughing.
Usually, the people who came out of the haunted house were so terrified that their legs turned into jelly. However, when Michelle came out, she was laughing. When people saw her, they thought she became crazy from being so scared, so they stayed away from her.
"Well, if you keep laughing, people will think you're crazy." Leon patted Michelle's head before she stopped.
