Chapter 18: For whom the death knell is sounded

"Maybe it's not human. Chu Ge's eyes were gloomy, and he stared at Xiao Xue and said.

"Captain, don't scare me. ”

Xiaoxue was startled by Chu Ge's terrifying eyes, she remembered the cutscene before the murderous mansion began, the red-clothed figure that flashed by, and suddenly felt a little chill behind her.

"What are you afraid of, let's just go up and take a look. ”

Chu Ge had a casual expression on his face, "We don't have to go up all of us, just two people, which of you will go with me?"

Xiaoxue and Mingyue looked at each other, the poker face did not speak, and Chu Ge said: "Mingyue, come on, you are the only athlete, what should be the most reliable in the fight." ”

"Good ......" The expression on Mingyue's face looked calm, but she was actually a little scared in her heart.

He thought to himself, why didn't this guy think of himself when he chose the captain, but he remembered himself at this time.

But there is a sister, and he can't be cowardly, so he can only bite the bullet.

So Chu Ge and Mingyue came to the second floor, and Xiaoxue and Poker Face were waiting for them on the first floor.

The corridor on the second floor was pitch black, and after Chu Ge turned on the corridor light, the four doors suddenly came into view.

Chu Ge came to a room according to the location of the upstairs movement just now.

"Are you scared?" Chu Ge looked at Mingyue, who was pretending to be calm beside him.

"Yes...... What is there to be afraid of. ”

"Do you know what are the usual routines in horror games?"

Chu Ge's tone became a little gloomy, "First of all, the image is terrifying, monsters are usually molded into very scary appearances. Then there's the environmental horror, which uses eerie environments to affect your spirit. ”

"The last is the level of horror, which is simply to open the door to kill, to kill the corner and to turn back. ”

"In front of us, it's likely to be an open-door kill. Chu Ge said in a deep voice, "You'd better be prepared. ”

"......" Mingyue wasn't so scared originally, but hearing Chu Ge say this, he was now worried that something terrible would jump out when the door would open.

Thinking of this, he took out a baseball bat and held it tightly in his hand.

"Hey, hey. Chu Ge laughed, "I'm kidding, if you're afraid, I'll open the door." ”

One of Chu Ge's hands was already on the doorknob, and at this time, the air became solemn, and time seemed to stand still.

Mingyue held her breath, and only the heartbeat of the two of them could be heard in the silent corridor.

"I'm counting down to three. ”

"Three ......"

"Two ......"

"Ahhhh

Before Chu Ge's "one" was spoken, he let out a terrible scream, and his whole body began to twitch, as if he had been electrocuted.

Mingyue's face changed greatly, he was so frightened that he took a step back, holding the baseball bat in both hands, not knowing what was wrong with Chu Ge.

Chu Ge's screams made Xiao Xue and Poker Face downstairs also run up to the second floor, and Xiao Xue asked with a worried expression, "Captain, are you okay?"

At this time, Chu Ge had already stopped twitching, and a smile of conspiracy had succeeded on his face, "Hahaha...... It's okay, I'm playing with Mingyue. ”

"You ......" Mingyue was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Sorry to let you all come up. Chu Ge scratched his head embarrassedly, "I tried this door just now, but I can't open it at all." ”

"Your uncle, I almost scared you out of a myocardial infarction. Mingyue touched her chest, and the expression on her face softened a lot.

When he heard Chu Ge's words, he also turned the doorknob hard, and found that he couldn't open the door at all, as if the door was locked.

The living person looked at Chu Ge and Mingyue expressionlessly, turned around and went downstairs.

Chu Ge said: "You two should go down first, we have to find a way to escape from the villa quickly." You search downstairs first. ”

"What about you, Captain?" asked Xiaoxue.

"I'll start searching upstairs and then join you. This way we will be faster. ”

"Can you do it alone?" Mingyue glanced at him.

"Why don't you stay with me?" Chu Ge had a mysterious smile on his face.

"Excuse me, farewell!" Mingyue disappeared as soon as she slipped away, running faster than anyone else.

It's not that he's afraid to come to the second floor, it's that he doesn't want to be tricked by Chu Ge anymore.

After seeing the three people leave, Chu Ge looked at the room in the corridor.

There are four rooms on the second floor, all of which have closed doors, including one with a locked door.

He decided to investigate one by one, and there might be unlocked rooms.

Chu Ge came to the next door of the locked room, his hand was on the doorknob, and he didn't expect to open the door with a slight twist.

He turned on the light in the doorway, a spacious study with a huge bookcase and desk in front of him, and the desk was piled high with papers.

"Looks like we're going to waste time on this pile of papers again. Chu Ge looked reluctant, what he was most annoying about was looking for clues in the pile of documents, if he was given a choice, he would prefer to be tough with monsters.

The cutscene of the murderous house has already told them that the owner of this villa used to be a patient in the asylum, and later he escaped, maybe he can find out the secrets of the madhouse from him.

Soon, Chu Ge discovered a new clue, which was the work history of Albert, the owner of the villa.

Name: Albert Bryan

Gender: Male

Age: 32 years old

Married: Married

Occupation: Doctor

Work Experience: Former Director of the Department of Psychiatry at Black Kirishima General Hospital, and now Director of the Arkham Monatic Hospital......

Chu Ge's brows furrowed, he didn't expect that Albert, the owner of the villa, would actually be a doctor in an insane asylum!

There doesn't seem to be a normal person in that lunatic asylum, from patients to doctors, could it be that Albert is a patient who has seen too much and is also crazy?

Chu Ge put down Hubert's work resume, he rummaged through the bookcase, and found some strange books.

"Solomon's Key", "Nicholas's Testament", "The Song of Rune", ......

He picked up the book called "Nikolai's Testament" and opened it to take a look, and the system message suddenly rang.

[Because you open the magic book that exudes an ominous aura, it gives you a very uncomfortable feeling, and your sanity value drops by 3%]

When Chu Ge opened the book, an indescribable chill swept through his body, and some mysterious symbols seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Damn, you shouldn't open it with your hands and look at it!

He quickly put the book down, and it took him a moment to come to his senses.

Chu Ge rubbed his eyes, and he saw a photo on the bookcase, which was taken by a family of three at an amusement park.

A gentle mother and a loving father, in the middle of them is a cute little girl in a red dress who grimaces at the camera.

Although the system told them that the family of three who originally lived in the villa had encountered a disaster and died one after another, it was still a secret what that disaster was.

In addition to the doctor's work history and these books related to the occult, Chu Ge found no other useful clues, so he walked out of Albert's study.

Shortly after he left his study, a dull bell rang downstairs.

"Boom-"

The bell rang only once and it was over, and it was one o'clock in the morning.

Chu Ge inadvertently turned around and found that the door behind him had closed by himself for some time.

He was pretty sure that the door wasn't closed by himself, so how did it close.

Chu Ge turned around to twist the handle, but found that he couldn't open it no matter what.

How so?

Chu Ge noticed something unusual, his father's study was obviously still allowed to enter just now, why couldn't he go after he came out?

He suddenly thought of the bell just now, maybe all this had something to do with the bell?

It was as if every time the bell rang they were one step closer to the truth and one step closer to death.

For whom does the death knell ring?

Maybe it's for them......

Just when Chu Ge was about to think of something, Xiaoxue's voice suddenly came from downstairs.

"Captain, come down! The detective brother has found an important clue!"
