Rorschach stood in front of the only window in the living room.
The window was tightly sealed with wooden planks, and looking out through the gaps between the wooden boards, there was no light in sight, and there seemed to be a thick black fog outside, enveloping the abandoned old house.
Rorschach's heart sank, and things started to turn sour, and he turned to look into the living room.
Ed and Harry stood by the wall near the doorway, their faces nervous, whispering from time to time. Priest, on the other hand, held up his flashlight and looked up at the eerie symbols painted on the wall.
At this time, Harry frowned, put down his phone, and said to Ed beside him:
"Damn! How can my phone suddenly have no signal? ā
"No signal?" Ed looked at him in surprise.
Harry hurriedly said:
"Check your phone to see if there's a signal."
"Wait a minute......" Ed quickly took out his mobile phone, looked down, and saw that in the upper right corner of the mobile phone screen, there was a striking cross on the sign showing the signal strength, and his mobile phone was the same as Harry's, there was no signal.
"Oh my God! So are you! Harry gasped as he stared at Ed's phone. Does this mean that we can't communicate with the outside world? ā
Ed tried to explain the current situation.
"Probably...... It's just that the signal is not good for the time being. ā
"No!" Harry shook his head excitedly, "It must be the ghost in the basement!" ā
"Don't worry." "We're waiting and seeing, it's not uncommon to have a bad signal in the countryside," Ed said. ā
"No, it's not like that, what should I do? We're not going to die here, are we? ā
"No, it won't." Ed swallowed nervously, looked at Harry, who was sweating on his forehead, and quickly turned his head to look at Rorschach.
"Sheriff, what's going on now?"
"The house is sealed," Rorschach muttered, "and we can't get out of here for a while. ā
Ed took a deep breath.
"Was it a supernatural force that sealed the house?"
"It's not clear." Rorschach wasn't sure what kind of supernatural power it was, and there were too few clues for the time being.
Harry hurriedly asked:
"Sir, do you think it's the ghosts in the basement that trap us here?"
"No," Rorschach said, shaking his head, "it shouldn't be the ghost, I've seen it, it doesn't have that power. ā
Ed frowned and thought about it, then asked:
"Could it be that someone is out there using some kind of force to trap us?"
"It's possible." Rorschach nodded, there was still a good chance of this possibility.
"If someone from outside did it, can we just wait for rescue?"
"No, in addition to waiting for rescue, we also have to find a way to save ourselves."
After saying that, Rorschach thought for a moment and asked:
"Does anyone know you're here?"
"Nope." Ed shook his head, "I didn't leave a message, no one knew I was here." ā
Harry, who was on the side, also said with a sad face:
"Me too, no one knows what we're going to do."
"Okay......" Rorschach shrugged helplessly.
At this time, Ed suddenly said:
"No, someone knows where we are."
"Who knows?" Harry turned his head to look at him.
"Valaka!"
"You say it's him?" Harry suddenly realized, "Oh, yes! The location of the haunted house he provided and he definitely knew we were here. ā
"Yes." Ed nodded heavily, "And, he must know everything that's going on here." ā
Rorschach looked at Ed and Harry, but didn't expect to hear Valaka's name again.
He thought for a moment and asked:
"Didn't that Valaka warn you that it's very dangerous?"
Ed didn't reply, biting his lip and keeping his face composed.
Seeing this, Rorschach asked again:
"Where did you meet Hualaka?"
Ed sighed and said slowly:
"I met online."
"On the website?"
"Yes, a paranormal enthusiast website called "Let's Go to Hell Together". ā
Rorschach nodded, and sure enough, he wasn't surprised by the answer. Judging from the information obtained now, this Hualaka must be related to a series of haunted house murders that have occurred these days, even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he should be one of the participants and planners.
Seeing Rorschach nodding, Harry hurriedly asked:
"Sir, do you think there's something wrong with this Valaka?"
Ed also looked at Rorschach suspiciously.
"Yes." Rorschach looked at Ed and Harry, thought for a moment, and decided to reveal some information that wasn't too important. He then told them about the recent murder and some information about Valaka.
After hearing this, Harry angrily shouted to Ed:
"Look! I knew he had a problem! Tell you not to believe him, you don't listen, if you listen to me, can we get to this point?! ā
Ed tilted his head and sighed, looking regretful.
"What should I do?" Harry grabbed Eddard's arm, "Corbett is missing, we're trapped here, what do you say?" ā
"IāI don't know......" Ed was pushed around by Harry, hanging his head, not daring to look Harry in the eye.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
"What's the noise!?" Priest turned his head and walked over to the two of them, frowning and reprimanding, "Didn't you see that I was working on how to get out?" Can you get out if you are noisy? Immature! And don't you know that the current situation is not of your own making? ā
Ed and Harry were stunned for a moment, and Priest's fierce look, coupled with the heart-wrenching words, made the two of them shrink their necks and hang their heads, not daring to make a sound.
"Humph!" Priest glanced at the two of them and turned his head to look at Rorschach, "Sheriff, that is, this Valaka is the culprit in all this?" ā
"Yes." Rorschach nodded, "He should have something to do with the haunted house events that happened these days. ā
"Where can I find him?" A cold glint flashed in Priest's eyes, his fists clenched together, and his joints rattled with a crunch.
"I don't know, I'm looking for him too, but now we need to get out before we can catch him."
"I understand." Priskey nodded, turned around, and pointed to the wall. "You say, could these symbols be the reason why we can't get out of here?"
Rorschach looked around, and on the wall on the left, he found the tentacle symbol mentioned by the Wen brothers.
The symbol consists of two parts, the upper half is a triangle and the lower half is a number of twisted tentacles, which at first glance look a bit like a triangular jellyfish. Moreover, in the triangle, he could faintly see that there was an eyeball inside.
He thought for a moment and looked at Priest.
"If it's the reason for these symbols, it's really possible."
"Then if you want to get out of here, these symbols are the key." Priest said.
Rorschach nodded.
"What do you think?"
