Love Wins All [Kookv] Midnight Mansion (12)

Midnight Mansion (12)

Taehyung (Tae)

💭No way

Tae had a bad premonition. Holding his breath, his trembling hands reached into his pocket and, just as he suspected, he felt a cold, smooth and hard object.

At the same time, he heard a soft chuckle that was both creepy and cold coming from next to his ears. He also felt something cold slowly brush against the back of his neck.

Taehyung (Tae)

💭Fu*k

The frightened Taehyung felt all the hairs on his body stand up. Without even thinking, he threw away the item in his pocket and a glowing green object flashed across the sky.

As expected, it was that cursed emerald necklace

With a thud, the necklace fell to the ground, but it wasn't the least bit broken. The smooth surface continued to emit a dull green light that made it look particularly haunting.

"Ahhh———-" Lu Wenjing who stood to the side suddenly screamed and desperately waved the crowbar in her hands. The crowbar went through a pair of legs that appeared beside her.

That pair of pale feet dangled around in mid-air. As the rest of the body was slowly revealed, they saw an upper body of the same pale colour and a rope suspending it by the neck from the ceiling. The facial features of the ghost were all distorted.

As the body struggled, a hoarse voice was heard from its throat. It scratched at the rope and with a 'thud' if finally slammed onto the ground.

Its four limbs twitched but, as it could no longer stand up, it could only slowly crawl across the floor. It made strange noises as it slowly climbed towards Lu Wenjing.

It's the mansion's third owner that was hanged to death!

The newspaper article pinned to the door flashed across Tae's mind

His expression immediately went pale but before he had the chance to react, the floor suddenly cracked open and several pairs of bony hands covered in rotting flesh reached out.

This was then followed by rotting heads and bodies. From their body frames, fragments of blue clothing still hung from it. With careful assessment, you could tell that it was a maid's uniform.

Their eyes were all dark and holey as they stared at the living humans standing in the room.

Taehyung felt his legs go soft. If it wasn't for Jungkook's timely support, he would have already fallen to the ground and huddled into a ball.

Taehyung (Tae)

💭 Why……why are there so many ghosts? Were they all attracted here by the necklace?

Thinking back to the creepy laughter, Taehyung's face lost its colour.

With his entire body trembling, he held onto the corner of Jungkook's shirt and moved his gaze over to the corner where the necklace had fallen

Once again, the necklace had disappeared.

At this moment, he regretted his earlier action of throwing the necklace away. He should have directly tried to destroy it. If he did that, there probably wouldn't be this many ghosts appearing now!

Jungkook

We can't deal with so many ghosts. Let's get out of here and find the secret passage

Jungkook said this solemnly and pulled Tae's hand along as he run out of the room. Tae reacted quickly and nudged Lu Wenjing next to him.

As for Wang Jianming who was far from him with several ghosts between them, he couldn't get through and could only shout at the dazed Wang Jianming

Taehyung (Tae)

If you don't want to die, run!!!

Bang

Lu Wenjing's entire body trembled as she used the crowbar to smash the hands reaching over in her direction. She then quickly followed behind Jungkook and Taehyung.

At this moment, Wang Jianming had also returned to his senses. With red-rimmed eyes, he looked at Ren Xue and then gritted his teeth while pulling out a card.

The function of this card was that you could use it to move up to twenty metres in an instant and it could only be used once. It was a life-saving item that Wang Jianming had saved for emergencies

Just as he was about to activate the card, he glanced over in the direction of the door preparing to teleport over, but he was inadvertently met with Jungkook's gaze.

The handsome young man's lips were slightly curved, and his deep, dark eyes had a eerie gleam to it

Along with the tear mole at the corner of his right eye, it made him look even more mysterious.

Although Jungkook was smiling, his eyes looked hollow and dead.

With that look, Wang Jianming felt his body go cold and his limbs stiffen up. It was as if he was nailed in place and he couldn't move even a single finger.

Jungkook

[Shhh]

The man placed a long and slender finger in front of his lips and smiled while making a 'quiet' gesture.

The corpses and ghosts in the room all stopped moving as if time was suddenly stopped for a moment.

The next second, everything returned to normal apart from the fact that they had all turned around and started advancing towards Wang Jianming.

Ren Xue's headless body swayed over and smacked away the card in Wang Jianming's hands. "Jungkook, he...!!"

Wang Jianming's eyes widened and just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, a cold corpse hand reached out and covered both his nose and mouth.

At the same time, the other monsters rushed over and started to bite onto his blood and flesh. With his mouth blocked, none of his agonising screams managed to escape out the door.

Bright red blood gradually flowed out and stained the black patterned card.

The door to the room quietly closed sending everything that had happened in the room into darkness. Sounds could no longer be heard from inside.

Jungkook's Diary (Part 9)

Jungkook

Of course, it was a lie that I couldn't deal with all those ghosts in the room

Jungkook

I only said it so that I could have a good reason to kill off that man.

Jungkook

But that necklace really is problematic. I can't feel its power or trace its location

Jungkook

Without a doubt it is a cursed item and I am almost certain that it came from 'him'. ...... From the other 'me'.
