The Mysterious Portrait

Thousands of bats rushed over and flew at them as if they had been badly shocked. They looked like they could kill a person easily. Since forever, bats were ominous signs and were usually associated with death and bad luck. Seeing them, Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua were badly frightened. They felt as if the thousands of bats would engulf them, and they could not help but close their eyes and scream, waiting to be engulfed up by the bats. Tong Hua could not help but think of vampire movies, and he was afraid of turning into one.

After a while, the surroundings quieted down. Shen Qianshu and Tong Hua opened their eyes slowly, and there were no more bats in the hall.

This place had been uninhabited for years. Without light, bats had made the castle their home. Now that someone had suddenly entered the place, it scared the bats.

"Scared the hell out of me."

"Scared the hell out of me!"
