Chapter 7 Chapter 22 Mutation
After Zhang Chen walked into the room, he already had a plan in his heart. The film ends in the early morning of the protagonist's death in 1408 and the funeral the next day. However, Zhang Chen naturally can't commit suicide, so all he has to do is to hold on until tomorrow morning, when the movie ends.
Zhang Chen's basic plan is to follow the routine in the movie all the time and spend an hour according to the plot first. Of course, during this hour, I will try to search the room for some useful clues, provided that there are no accidents.
"Click!" The lights in the room turned on, and a warm room similar to Daisleen's description appeared in front of Zhang Chen.
"That's it? Surely you're kidding, right?" Zhang Chen said in front of the tape recorder, and then placed a full cigarette next to the ashtray according to the protagonist's custom.
However, the scene in front of him made Zhang Chen stunned, because he was facing the opposite, and the painting on the bedside of the bedroom was neither a husband and wife quarrel in Daislin's mouth, nor the royal hunt in the original movie, but an abstract little boy with a big distorted mouth, sitting at a large round table.
The boy holds a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand, apparently in the opposite direction. And on the large round table in front of him, there was also a clean plate, apparently because the food had not yet arrived, and the boy could not wait.
"I wonder if the change in the content of the painting has any impact on the overall situation? Let's try to follow the original story, and if you find anything wrong, make other plans."
"In the first round, the nasty Mr. Orin used his effective offensive to strike first. I have to admit that I was almost bluffed by his position. But where are those creepy horror scenes? Please show me the river of blood." Zhang Chen played the role of Anslin seriously according to the lines, and at the same time opened the bathroom door.
"It's just a normal room."
Zhang Chen was about to turn around and go back to the bed to open the drawer, but in the drawer, which he thought would be empty, there was a Bible. And there is an old-fashioned electronic clock at the head of the bed, which will also be a crucial component in the movie. Once this thing starts counting down for an hour, that means the true fear of 1408 has arrived.
With Zhang Chen's inspection of the room. When he entered the bathroom again according to the protagonist's route to check, Zhang Chen was momentarily stunned when he stood in the center of the bathroom.
"What!!"
Zhang Chen faced the huge bath mirror. However, the face of the person in the mirror is not the Hollywood star, but Zhang Chen himself.
"Is it possible...... Has this become a place for me, not for the protagonist? Do you want to continue acting now? Even an hour of peace is a drop in the bucket for the whole night. An hour later, if I hadn't committed suicide according to the protagonist's routine, it would have changed the plot."
"In that case...... Then there's no need."
Zhang Chen calmed down, at this time he had decided to be uneasy about the routine form in the movie, rather than going on like this. It's better to do something in the room. So I turned around and went to the bedroom and took the painting from the bedside, but there was nothing on the wall behind the painting.
"Shouldn't it?" Zhang Chen knocked on the wall, and the interior was not hollow, "It's hard to be inside the painting."
Zhang Chen looked at the painting that he had thrown on the bed and immediately tore it open with his fingers, but he made a surprising discovery in the painting.
"A key?" Zhang Chen looked at the bronze key, and immediately compared it with the black manager handed him the key to the 1408 room, there was a slight difference in the length of the protrusion.
"Is it the key to be able to open 1408 from the inside?" Zhang Chen put this vital key in his pocket and kept it. A carpet search of SCP-1408 was then conducted, trying to find some key points, such as . The circle formation in the Kullman house mentioned in the dictation jiàn.
Zhang Chen moved the sofa, bed, wardrobe and even the bathtub open. Didn't find anything strange.
"Isn't it inside these pictorial wallpapers with small flowers?" Zhang Chen came to the bedside and planned to start destroying the wallpaper from here, after all, the wall behind the painting was the most suspicious.
However, the moment Zhang Chen pressed his fingernails into the wallpaper, a palpitating feeling swept through Zhang Chen's whole body out of nowhere.
"Click!" The electronic clock at the bedside automatically times "60:00", a one-hour countdown, which means that the true evil of 1408 is about to come.
"Impossible...... In the movie, the air conditioner breaks down in the room after dozens of minutes, and the countdown officially begins after the repairman asks the protagonist to fix it himself. The repairman hasn't come yet, and there hasn't even been a problem with the air conditioner." Zhang Chen originally planned to use his spare time to go to the next room to see the situation of the woman in white pushing the crib, but now it seems that he can't get out.
"Start early...... Could it be because I'm destroying it?"
Zhang Chen removed his fingernails that had sunk into the wall. A crescent-shaped cut appeared on the wallpaper.
"See how you destroy my spirit, how you make me give up the idea of survival...... "Now that it's already begun. Zhang Chen couldn't care so much, and directly used his fingernails to start talking about the wallpaper on the bedside.
"Hiss~~" The moment when a large piece of wallpaper with small flowers was torn off. A strangely shaped bulge suddenly appeared in the place where the painting had been hanging, and it was still squirming.
"Smack!" The bulge exploded like a ball of flesh, and blood spilled all over Zhang Chen's cheeks. The moment the bulge cracked, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from the inside, pinching the frightened one. [,! Zhang Chen, who has not yet been able to react.
"Wow!" The strength of the bloody hand was so great that Zhang Chen's hands were clasped on his arms and he couldn't break free at all, and the neck was deeply sunk, making a sound of bone dislocation.
However, at the moment when Zhang Chen was about to die due to pain and suffocation, the room was completely returned to its original state. The wallpaper was not torn off by himself, and his neck was intact.
Frightened by the "......", Zhang Chen couldn't help but climb back a few meters.
"Calm, calm. I can't stop thinking about destroying the structure of the room now, or I'll feel really bad about it. I have my strengths, calm down and think about what my strengths are......"
Zhang Chen rubbed his temples in an attempt to calm his mind.
"The room doesn't kill people, it just creates all kinds of situations to disturb my mind and make me have a nervous breakdown and commit suicide. As long as you keep your heart and don't be afraid, I can live. And I also found the key, didn't I? Maybe we'll be able to open the door to 1408."
Zhang Chen slowly stood up from the ground.
"Tick, tick!" There was a crisp sound of water dropping in the bathroom, and Zhang Chen was standing just in time to see part of the bathroom.
The source of the sound of water droplets is the inside of the bathtub obscured by a white curtain, which does not appear in the movie at all.
The sound of water droplets inside the white curtain is getting faster and faster, and slowly turns into the sound of water flowing. However, a distorted face is imprinted on the white curtain and stands out, looking like a hideous appearance. At the same time, the water in the bathtub has slowly overflowed, and a trace of bright red blood flows slowly down the edge of the bathtub.
It is impossible not to be afraid, Zhang Chen was stunned for half a minute, then took out a steel iron rod from the quaint wardrobe on the side and held it tightly in his hand, although he knew that the 'thing' that came out of the bathtub could not kill him, but he could not be slaughtered like a fish.
"Click!"
A pair of bright red arms stretched out from the inside of the bath and propped themselves up on the bathroom floor, borrowing the power of this hand to slowly pull out their bodies. Crawling out of the bathtub was a carrion monster with only its upper body and flesh and blood. Relying on his flesh and blood arms, he slowly climbed towards Zhang Chen.
"Isn't it just a monster?" Zhang Chen restrained his legs from trembling, and told himself in his heart that this thing was not as powerful as an ordinary person, and the iron rod in his hands was vaguely aimed at the other party's head.
"Die."
As soon as Zhang Chen's front foot stepped out, the rotting corpse crawling on the ground wanted to stretch out his bloody hands to grab Zhang Chen's heels. The hard iron rod slammed down with all its might.
"Smack!" With a muffled sound, the skull of the rotting corpse was directly smashed open by the iron rod, and the flesh and blood were splashed. However, Zhang Chen, who killed the red-eyed, couldn't stop his hand, and continued to beat down until the head of the carrion was completely gone.
"Dangdang!" The iron rod fell from Zhang Chen's hand to the ground, and he was also stunned in place, gasping for breath.
"It's done......" Zhang Chen looked at the carrion corpse in front of him, and his body gradually turned into red light and disappeared into the air
However, the sound of water in the bathroom did not stop, and the blood had already spilled all over the floor of the room, a full centimeter high.
Zhang Chen looked at the scene full of blood, if it was replaced by the body of the prison envoy, the blood would only need to move his fingers, and it would all be controlled by himself. However, now this situation is Zhang Chen's nightmare, if he wants to find a way, the blood under his feet will accumulate deeper and deeper.
"Things have completely changed."
Zhang Chen looked at the wallpaper around him, there were already many cracks, and blood was constantly spilling out of the cracks.
"Stomp, stomp!" Zhang Chen walked in the direction of the hall in his blood, and came to the door of 1408 and took out two keys, one of which was the key to open the door given to Zhang Chen by the black manager, and the other was the bronze key that Zhang Chen himself got from the bedside painting.
In the movie, the protagonist naturally tried to open the door of 1408 with the key that originally opened the door, but the moment the key was inserted into the lock, it was swallowed by the lock.
"Bet?" Zhang Chen was hesitant to insert the bronze key into it, but this time he hesitated, because this key was the only thing he had that was different in the movie.
Zhang Chen's originally impetuous state of mind suddenly calmed down, and he let the blood and water level in the room slowly rise and spread over his body, so that he couldn't breathe. (To be continued)
