The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era
Chapter 291: THE DATE (VI)
"THIS is the doll room. Your boyfriend has to find the human doll in order for him to leave and go to the next area," the woman playing the queen said. "Most of the couples taking this challenge took a lot of time here and ended up failing the challenge. Hopefully your boyfriend wouldn't waste too much time there."
[This woman is too talkative. Why are you giving your opinion when I didn't even ask?] – Wulfric wanted to say. But he stopped himself. Since the other said that Aster was his boyfriend, then, he's willing to be more tolerant.
"Have you seen him? He would definitely not be afraid of some dolls," he said, raising his chin and puffing out his chest.
The woman looked at this handsome man and the other's chin was almost going to reach the ceiling because of how high he raised it. When she first saw the other earlier, his face was full of reluctance. As if silently screaming 'I don't want to be here!'. She even thought that this guy was most likely forced by his lover to do this challenge that's why his face was so stinky.
But look at him now. He looked like a proud boyfriend who couldn't wait to boast about their lover. So different from the grumpy look he had shown earlier. The woman shook her head. Sure enough, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Look, this handsome guy looked very tough but he was simply a simp for his boyfriend.
What she didn't know was that Wulfric looked like that earlier not because he didn't want to do the challenge. It was simply because he was still annoyed that he couldn't accompany Aster. If she knew about it, then she would definitely think that Wulfric was a much bigger simp than she thought.
Wulfric returned his attention back to the virtual screen.
Aster was now looking around the room. There was no fear on his face, only curiosity. The other had probably already seen the rule that the woman playing the queen had told Wulfric. So, Aster was now looking for the human doll.
Then, the dolls around the room started to shake, some even floated. Shrill screams followed next. Aster only furrowed his brows, as if he only found these dolls noisy instead of scary.
After a second of stopping, he continued on with his search. It didn't take for him to stop in front of a life-size doll. The doll was very petite. If compared to normal human height, it would be that of a child. Just like other dolls in the room, this doll was also shaking and screaming.
Seeing Aster standing in front of it longer than when he's in front of other dolls, Wulfric wondered if this doll was the human doll. Its face was similar to what a porcelain doll should look like. A creepy expression with its eyes wide open. He couldn't really see in which angle that this doll was a human.
And then, what Aster did next surprised both Wulfric and the woman playing the queen. The other tapped the shoulder of the doll regardless of it screaming like there's no tomorrow.
"Okay. You can stop now. I know it's you," Aster said. "Don't scream anymore or it will hurt your throat."
The doll indeed stopped screaming. But not because of what Astrid said but mostly because of too much shock. She didn't expect this person to quickly discover herself. She was too surprised that she was unable to hide her flaws.
Now, even if she pretended that she didn't understand what the other said, it would only appear that she was deliberately trying to cover up something. Wouldn't that be more embarrassing?
At the end, she could only sigh and let the other move to the next area.
Seeing this development, the woman playing the queen was a bit dumbfounded. It seemed like all of the employees in the castle working as ghost would be unlucky because of this kid.
She glanced at the handsome blond guy, the other just so happened to look back at her. The guy smirked with a proud look on his face. "See? My boyfriend is amazing!"
Then after saying that, the guy's whole face suddenly turned red. The woman only felt question marks appearing on her face. [What are you getting so shy for?]
-----
After the doll room, Astrid successfully passed three more areas. Finally, he reached the last stop before the throne room.
Armored knights lined up on both sides, raising their swords. The task now was to successfully reach the door that these armored knights were guarding. Astrid knew that behind the door was the throne room.
He raised one of his brows. Wasn't this task a bit too easy? It's not like these knights would hack him to death. Surely, this theme park didn't have the courage to hurt their guests. That's one of the reasons why ever since they started this challenge, he had never felt fear. Any person who used their brain would know that an establishment like this wouldn't dare to hurt their customers or else they had long closed down.
With that thought in mind, Astrid stepped forward. He didn't expect that as he did, the knights on both sides suddenly put down the sword they were holding. The knight's swords facing each other crisscrossed. Because the swords were quite thick, this formed a tall fence. Completely preventing anyone who dared to go to the throne room.
Well, this was indeed a bit hard to do. But not completely impossible. He looked at the fence of swords in front of him and was wondering if he could jump over it. That's when the swords started to bleed out. Yes, red liquid started gushing out from it.
Astrid felt the corner of his lips twitching. Was this trying to disgust him or something? So, he would be discouraged jumping over? He must apologize then. Because he had never been a squeamish person.
He then didn't hesitate to jump over.
