The group entered the pitch-black, eerie gateway.
Before they had taken more than a few steps, they all heard another loud, terrifying slam behind them as the gate closed.
It was as though their path back had been severed.
The girl in the couple began to sob quietly, terrified beyond measure.
Her boyfriend patiently comforted her.
The group walked through the darkness.
They had no idea how long they had been walking when, suddenly, everything ahead lit up.
Dazzling, multicolored lights appeared all at once. Looking closely, they discovered a huge spherical light hanging three meters above their heads.
Its colors shifted rapidly, casting brilliant light over them.
It made their heads spin.
Something caught the eye of the woman with the backpack at the front, and she stopped abruptly.
Che Quan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Everyone else stopped as well.
Following the woman's fixed gaze, their eyes widened in horror.
A clown stood ahead of them, a full two meters sixty tall, its lanky frame exuding an eerie, grotesque air.
The clown held a stack of flyers.
As the group approached, the towering clown swayed and bent at the waist, folding almost into a right angle.
It leaned toward them, making the lost girl and the girl in the couple scream. Yet the clown did not attack. Instead, it chuckled hoarsely and handed each of them a "flyer."
Under the dazzling, multicolored lights, they could just make out that it was a park guide.
It contained a small map showing the various attractions, an introduction to the park, and safety guidelines for visitors.
Che Quan glanced at the attractions first.
There were eight in total.
A carousel, a Ferris wheel, swings, a roller coaster, a wax museum, a drop tower, and an undersea tunnel.
And the Eerie Shadow Maze,
