Chapter 39: Voices from the Third Floor
Time passed, and night enveloped the House of Horrors.
In the second half of the night, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the quiet haunted house, as if someone was sawing something.
In the staff lounge, Chen Ge slowly opened his eyes, and he looked at his mobile phone - it was 11 o'clock in the morning.
He rolled over and pressed his head against the pillow, but the strange sound kept creeping into his ears.
"I'm not dreaming? What's going on ringing? ”
Every prop in this haunted house was made or transformed by Chen Ge himself, and he knew very well in his heart that none of the props would make such a sound similar to sawing wood.
After sleeping for six or seven hours, his head was still a little unconscious, Chen Ge pinched his thighs vigorously, put on his clothes and pants, and took out a hammer from the toolbox and held it in his hand.
He turned on his flashlight and pushed open the door to the lounge.
The haunted house in the middle of the night was many times more terrifying than during the day, and Chen Ge leaned against the door, not in a hurry to get out.
"It can't be a thief, only the brain-dead will come to the haunted house in the middle of the night to steal things; It couldn't have been rats, and the sound of their gnawing on wood was soft, fine, and not so clear. After ruling out two options that normal people could think of, Chen Ge began to think in an abnormal direction: "Could it be that the monster in the mirror has escaped?" ”
Because the fabric was not enough, the mirror Chen Ge in the midnight battle royale scene on the third floor was not fully covered.
He stared at the dark hallway, took a few steps back, and placed the puppet left by his parents close to him, before he dared to walk out of the door.
The sound came from overhead, and Chen Ge continued to ascend the stairs, and finally stopped outside the door of the midnight escape scene.
"Sure enough, it came from here, but now I don't know if it was from the remnant soul of the victim in the Ping An Apartment, or if it was from the dirty thing in the mirror." Stopping at the door, Chen Ge hesitated slightly, confessing that even he didn't want to enter the horror scene at night.
Tormented by the sound of cutting in the room, Chen Ge clenched the handle of the hammer: "I have the title of the Devil's Patron, and I have won the kindness of the victim of the Ping An Apartment, even if I encounter the dirty thing in the mirror during the midnight escape scene, it should not be able to help me." ”
He thought of the scene when the monster in the mirror stunned Heshan, just because Xu Wan suddenly appeared, which caused it to fall short, which shows that this monster is actually not too powerful.
"Let's go in and take a look, anyway, I'm already in a situation where the monster in the mirror is endless, and the more I know about it, the more sure I am of disposing of it." Chen Ge was very calm, he knew in his heart that what he was afraid of was not actually the monster itself, but the feeling of facing the unknown.
Opening the door of the midnight battle royale scene, a faint musty smell wafted through the scene, and it was becoming more and more similar to Ping'an Apartment.
The doors on both sides of the corridor were half-open and half-closed, and Chen Ge raised his mobile phone and entered it with a hammer in the other hand.
The sound of cutting slowly became louder, and Chen Ge knew that he was getting closer to the truth step by step.
He walked all the way to the third floor, and finally stopped outside a door, and he was sure that the strange sound was coming from inside the room.
The door was not closed tightly, Chen Ge reached out and grabbed the door lock, and the cold feeling made him sober up a lot in an instant.
His leg muscles tensed, and he slammed the door open.
"Who's in there!"
Chen Ge rushed into the house with a hammer, and happened to see a burly black figure half-squatting in the bathroom, looking very similar to He Feng!
The black shadow didn't expect someone to come in, threw away what was in his hand, turned around and jumped into the mirror and disappeared.
"Stop!" Chen Ge shouted and swung the hammer, but nothing was hit.
The bathroom was empty, as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.
"That figure is definitely not He Feng! But why is it exactly the same height and body shape as He Feng? Standing in front of the mirror, Chen Ge looked at himself in the mirror, and had a faint awkward feeling: "This monster is imitating He Feng? What is the real purpose of doing this? ”
The appearance of the black shadow brought a lot of questions, but it also revealed two pieces of information to Chen Ge.
First, the monster in the mirror is able to move away from the mirror; Second, it can become like someone who has looked in the mirror.
"This guy is more dangerous than I thought."
The sound of cutting echoing in the haunted house finally stopped, and Chen Ge squatted down and looked at the few things that had been casually thrown away by the black shadow just now.
On the rough concrete floor, there were four crooked puppets and a few sharp mirror fragments.
He held the puppet in the palm of his hand and looked at it, and the puppet representing his mother, sister, and sister was only covered in dust and mud, and it was fine.
Only the puppet, which symbolizes his father, has half of his neck cut off, and there are multiple scratches on his body, which are seriously damaged.
"Why is it only my father who is hurt?" Chen Ge quickly thought of a reason, the puppet representing his father had helped He Feng get out of trouble and ruined the plan of the monster in the mirror, so the monster would take revenge on him.
"The remnants of the four victims can't stop the monster in the mirror, so they can only let each other bully, this difference in strength is a bit huge." Chen Ge didn't know anything about the power of that world, and he could only speculate based on limited information: "The victim's remnants don't have any means of attack except for being scary. The monster in the mirror is one level higher than the victim's residual thoughts, but it runs away when it sees people, so from this point of view, the monster itself is very weak in combat effectiveness, and the main means of attack should be spiritual, such as using the flaws in people's hearts, making people hallucinate in a trance, so as to lose themselves. ”
Combined with the encounter between Heshan and He Feng, as well as the scene that happened just now, Chen Ge came to his own inference.
The monster in the mirror is very difficult, but if you go head-to-head, its abilities can't be used, so as long as you find a way to lure it out of the mirror, everything will be easy.
"I'm going to plan it out and try to get it out tonight so that the midnight battle royale scene can be put into use tomorrow." Chen Ge's eyes were calm, and the monster in the mirror became more and more unbridled, and if he didn't get rid of it, Chen Ge couldn't sleep well.
Holding the four puppets to leave the midnight escape scene, after locking the door, Chen Ge entered the tool room.
He took out his needle and thread to close the wounds on the puppet's body as he thought about what to do.
"That monster is extremely aggressive, it seems to be very interested in living people, and if I want to lure it out of the mirror, the easiest way to do it is to use a living person as bait." Chen Ge's hands were very skillful, and most of the wounds had been stitched up in a few minutes.
"But the crux of the matter is, how do I kill it after I draw it out of the mirror? I've heard that goblins are afraid of salt and garlic, but if there is a fight, wouldn't it be too childish for me to throw these things at them? After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ge decided to log on to the supernatural forum to consult.
