The person who rushed in froze on the spot. Their scream was less like a ghost trying to alarm others and more like a non-player character (NPC) terrified by the sudden appearance of a severed head.
Charlotte took it a step further by letting her hair hang in front of her face and disappearing into the doorway after dropping the severed head.
The corridor light flickered, casting a faint white beam that painted her slightly pale face with an even whiter hue.
The mournful wails of the NPC became more pitiful, causing a figure in a zombie mask to peek out from a crack in the wall to see what was happening.
While others came to the haunted house to be frightened by ghosts, Charlotte came to frighten the ghosts.
After waiting for a while and receiving no response from Justin Battleson, Charlotte looked back at him with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
Justin's face was devoid of any smile, and his gaze towards her was somewhat embarrassed.
"You're brave," he commented.
