The Bright Future Awaits! The Villainess Lady's Route of Happiness

XLVII. Chamber of Secret (1)

The place was eerily silent and chillingly ice cold, there is no sound can be heard and the whole place was engulfed by darkness.

No matter how I tried to adjust my eyesight, I can only see pure darkness.

I'm afraid.

Small sob escape from my mouth and my whole body started trembling.

It is true that I was supposed to have a mental age of 30s but whenever I am in darkness, I always remember my past life and there is fear engraved deep inside my soul that I was once imprisoned in an isolated darkness.

After a few minutes of calming my nerves, I took a deep breath and stood up to where I am.

I closed my eyes and cast a [Night Vision] spell that I created. I copy it from night vision goggles that I once saw in modern world, in my past life.

When I opened my eyes, my body started to shook again.

My eyesight was purely green like what in a night vision supposed to be but that was not startled me but the place itself.

The place was like a dungeon and there were countless human or different race skeleton scattered around.

This place was like those setting in a horror movie where there is a man-eating monster.

As my knees shaking, I started to take a step forward.

The first thing I did was to check those skeletons. All of them died in the same reason both of them did not have any injuries, not a bit scratch that can be seen to skeleton if they're gravely injured. They are either died because of dehydration or starvation.

But no matter what reason they died, I will not have the same result as them.

Regret started to spread in my heart.

Why did not I choose to leave instead to be allowed to punish like this?

If I choose to leave, I can become adventurer even without the help of the guild but it also means that I can't sell my loots or even have any negotiations with them and might implicate my friends and family... I don't want that to happen.

So, even if my life will be at risk, I still choose to enter this chamber.

While I was in deep thought, I heard a creaking sound.

A creaking sound of a closing/opening of an old door... like the sound in a horror movie.

I got goosebumps when I heard the sound but when I tried to look at the surrounding, I saw nothing.

Then I heard a laughing voice of children.

When I tried to look at where at it, it was gone but then I heard another sound, the sound of a racking chair and giggling voice of children.

Why there are children in here?

Am I transported in a horror movie?

I slowly took a step, brought out my dagger while cautiously looking around.

I gulp as I tried to look where the sound is; drops of sweat continuously forming in my forehead while my blood was drained from me.

I took a deep breath; calming my anxious and agitated heart for the situation I am currently at.
