Byran stood tall and declared firmly, âHow could you, an outsider, possibly know whatâs going on in my family? Who do you think you are?â
âAlright then, Byranâ For now, Iâll treat her as your sister! Last time we played a mobile game, I lost to you two You were just lucky to meet a highâlevel player! This time, weâre playing escape room. I want to see if you two are still so lucky. Iâm looking forward to seeing you two freaking out of your wits in a moment!â
âWeâll see whoâs crying first! Byran shot back without missing a beat âWeâll find out soon enough!â Julius sneered, then led his four friends into the escape room club.
Pumped up. Byran turned to Ellinor âLetâs go! Letâs join them!â
Ellinor frowned. âDid I ever say I was going with you?â
Byran looked annoyed and grabbed her, âNow is not the time to back out! Get in there with me!â
Backing out? She was just an observer, not even involved! What does this have to do with her?
Seeing everyone entering, Candida and her two friends followed Byran into the escape room clubâ¦
Inside the escape club Julius and his group chose the scariest room theme âHorror Hospitalâ and then taunted Byran about his opinion.
Byran wasnât scared, âWhatever! I can handle any theme!â
The three girls led by Candida, however, looked hesitant about the âHorror Hospitalâ, a notoriously terrifying theme, and timidly moved closer to Byran, âByran, can we three be in your team?â
âSure!â Byran didnât mind After all, there were five in Juliusâs group, and two in his team with Ellinor. Adding these three girls would make five too.
Julius sneered âHey! Are you three sure you want to be in that useless group with Byran? Be careful for a while, he will be scared to pee before you, and then throw you directly to the âevil ghostsâ inside!â
Byran snapped back, âJulius, donât look down on me! Iâm not afraid of those childâs play!â
Julius just gave Byran a scornful look, ignoring him, and went straight to the reception to inform them of their chosen theme. He chatted with the receptionist quietly, then a sly smile appeared on his face The game began, and they were about to enter the roomâ¦..
Candida suddenly realized something was off, âHuh? Byran, whereâs your sister?â
Byran looked around frantically, only to find Ellinor was gone!
Damn, that irresponsible woman Ellinor, she ran away at the critical moment!
Seeing this, Julius teased. âOh? Someone ran away before we even started! Byran, can you handle it without your bodyguard? If not, itâs not too late to give up now!â
âYou better take care of yourself! Donât panic and scream for help later!â
âWe wonât know the result until the end! Just wait and see!â
Byran ignored Julius, checked again for Ellinor, but she was nowhere to be found, which made him a bit upset.
But at this point, he had no way out.
Collecting himself, Byran said to Candida and the other two girls, âDonât be nervous, remember those ghosts are just people in disguise. Just follow me, thereâs nothing to feartâ
Seeing the man she likes talking to her with such bravery, Candida felt less scared and nodded admiringly, âOkay, Byran, weâll try our best!â
