Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Ghost in the Mist
After having the oil lamp, Chu Ge became more bold, he basically searched all his floors, and collected a lot of ammunition materials and medical items.
Unfortunately, he didn't find the Necronomicon fragments.
"It doesn't seem to be on my side. Chu Ge touched his chin.
After his exploration, he already understood the structure of this level, which had two corridors, separated by the place where the elevator and the stairwell were located.
To be reasonable, the elevator should have been out of use in this dangerous copy for a long time, but to his surprise, the elevator could still work.
However, Chu Ge did not plan to take the elevator, he knew that whether it was a fire or other dangers, the elevator was undoubtedly the most dangerous, and once the elevator broke down, he would be trapped inside.
At this time, if the empty ghost attacks the people in the elevator, there is no chance of escape.
So, the stairs are actually the safest in comparison, because you can escape at any time!
Thinking of this, he walked towards the stairwell, this floor was already finished, and he planned to go to other floors to take a look.
The light in the stairwell was dim, but luckily he had an oil lamp, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see the road under his feet.
The staircase in front of me looked a little shabby, and the handrails were broken in some places.
Soon, however, he noticed that something was wrong......
"This feeling again?!"
Chu Ge's brows furrowed, he had noticed something strange in the hotel room at the beginning, and now, when he came to the stairwell, this feeling became even stronger.
The elevator in the apartment he lives in is old and often breaks, so he is used to taking the stairs, but the staircase in front of him makes him feel a little weird, different from the stairs he walked before!
Wait a minute......
It's not the same......
He got it!
Generally speaking, when you go up the stairs of a building, the direction is to the left, and of course, when you go down, the direction is to the right.
But the stairs of this hotel are completely opposite, go up to the right and go down to the left!
After Chu Ge found out about this problem, he also figured out the reason why the hotel room was strange.
That's the door of the usual hotel, and it's all open for safety. And the door lock is on the left, and the door shaft is on the right. When opened, the door is pushed open inwards to the right.
But in this deserted hotel, the direction is very different!
Even if these anomalies may seem inconspicuous, you can still sense that something is wrong when something changes that you have long been used to.
Of course, the direction of the stairs and doors is not absolute, and it may be a matter of the hotel designer's own habits, or local customs.
Chu Ge felt that this difference was likely to be a breakthrough, and he was getting closer and closer to the truth!
He kept walking towards it with doubts, and he didn't go far when a rusty red iron door blocked his way.
【The door to the hotel rooftop is locked, please look for another exit】
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, it turned out that his own floor was actually the top floor of the hotel!
For some reason, there weren't any signs in the hotel about the number of floors, so Chu Ge didn't know what floor he was on at all.
He tried it with a crowbar and saw it with a chainsaw, but when he found that the external force could not open the door, he had to give up and walk down with the oil lamp.
He passed by the stairwell on his floor, then stepped onto the steps below, and as soon as his feet were on the steps, a wisp of mist floated up from below!
"What's the situation?"
The further he went, the more fog became, and although the oil lamp in his hand could dispel the darkness in front of him and allow him to see the place under his feet, his front was still shrouded in fog and full of unknowns.
Doesn't feel right......
Chu Ge continued to walk down with the oil lamp, and the thick mist rushed towards him, and those mist fluttered in the air, as if turning into a pair of invisible hands, lingering beside him, and a strange sound sounded in his ears.
The voice was deep and fast, as if someone was whispering in his ear!
[Because you hear an incomprehensible voice in the fog, you feel like you are having auditory hallucinations, this voice seems to warn you, you feel unspeakable fear, and your sanity value drops by 10% per minute]
"Daddy!"
Chu Ge didn't expect that walking in this fog would actually lose his sanity value.
He glanced back, and the scenery behind him was also swallowed up by the mist, and he couldn't see the way he had come.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet first.
Fortunately, he has been rich lately, and he has bought a lot of alcohol, so losing a little sanity is nothing.
He was going to rush out as soon as he saw the stairwell on the next floor.
But after walking for a while, it felt like there was no end to the staircase, and after a few minutes, his sanity was 20% off.
As his sanity continued to decline, the strange voices in his ears became louder and louder, and hideous faces seemed to appear in those fogs.
"What the hell, why is this staircase so long?!"
Chu Ge took out a bottle of coconut water rum and drank it, filling up his sanity value, and the illusion in front of him gradually disappeared.
His feet then poked down, and at that moment, he felt very hard under his feet and had a lot of space in front of him.
He found that there were no steps below it, it was a platform, and he knew that it was the corner platform between each staircase.
It seems that it is already halfway there!
He came down the steps and stood on the corner platform.
Just as he shone the oil lamp forward, a hideous figure suddenly appeared in the dark mist!
Its body was pale, with a bloody mouth under its eyeless face and sharp claws under its two huge arms.
"Empty ghosts?!"
Chu Ge was taken aback, he was already prepared in his heart, there might be something terrible in this mist, but he didn't expect that there would be an empty ghost here!
He immediately raised the oil lamp to turn up the power to the maximum, but the monster roared and pounced on him!
"Roar—"
Before he had time to flash the empty ghost with the oil lamp, the huge body of the empty ghost threw him to the ground, Chu Ge fell to the platform, and the oil lamp in his hand slammed into the corner of the steps behind him!
With a bang, the oil lamp was shattered, and the wick inside quickly went out, turning into darkness in front of his eyes.
Worst!
Chu Ge felt that his whole person was not good, and the oil lamp that he had finally found was broken so easily.
He couldn't see anything in the dark, only felt a pain in his arm, and it was the claws of the empty ghost that grabbed him!
[As a result of your attack by the claws of the empty ghost, your health is reduced by 20%]
"Roar—"
The terrifying howl of the empty ghost echoed in the darkness, and Chu Ge knew that he was going to be cold if he continued like this.
At this moment, a yellow light lit up on his chest, and it was the badge on his chest, the light of the Yellow Seal!
After he opened the Yellow Seal before, he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't expect that he would save his life at a critical time!
Under the illumination of the seal of the yellow clothes, Chu Ge saw that hideous face, and the sharp claws were in front of him.
"It's my turn!"
A cold light flickered in Chu Ge's eyes, and the next moment, he took out that huge and hideous weapon, and sawed it at the empty ghost's claws with a roar like a motorcycle engine!
