After setting everything up, Chen Ge carried the doll left behind by his parents with him and found Doctor Skull-cracker's hammer.
"There should be no problem now."
He switched off the light, plugged in the phone, and placed it on the dresser to record. He held the absurdly shaped hammer and hid under the bed.
The candlelight flickered, and the room flickered. Once Chen Ge closed his eyes, many scary scenarios would appear in his mind, and he could not control them.
He paid attention to his surroundings. His body was bent, and the top of his head touched the bed leg.
From this angle, he could see the slippers placed in the corridor through the half-open door.
The slippers are still where they were, and no one has touched the rice around them. I have no idea why the black phone would ask me to prepare these things.
The candle burned shorter and shorter, and Chen Ge's eyelids became heavier.
Night spread inside the Haunted House. Chen Ge, who had not had a good night's rest for the past few days, stayed under the bed for a while, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
…
His calves were cold, and Chen Ge opened his eyes blurrily. The candle was extinguished, and the room was dark and quiet.
What time is it?
Chen Ge wanted to look at his watch, but he realized that he could not move his body at all.
Bed Paralysis? With his eyes widened, Chen Ge did not resist too much. Instead, he adjusted his breathing. The respiratory system was affected by internal organs like the heart and lungs, so it would not be paralyzed like the rest of the body.
After doing that, he tried to bend his fingers and focus his mind on one point.
Throughout the process, he did not look in any other direction. At that moment, even if he saw something scary, his body would not be able to react. It would only intensify his fear and make him lose his cool.
About two minutes later, Chen Ge's pinky could bend slightly. This was a good start.
He wanted to shake off the Bed Paralysis in one go, but when his eyes scanned the slippers in the corridor, a question appeared in his mind.
"When I put the slippers down just now, which way did the tips of the slippers face?"
When a normal person walked down the corridor, the tips of the slippers should be facing the outside of the house, but what Chen Ge saw now was a pair of slippers facing his bedroom.
"Did I put it in the wrong position?" A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he seized the time to move his fingers.
The candles inside the Haunted House had already been extinguished, and there was a rustling sound coming from the darkness. The white rice that had been scattered inside the Haunted House appeared to be moved by someone.
His eyes were fixed on the slippers in the corridor. Under Chen Ge's gaze, one of the slippers took a step forward.
His steps were stiff, as if he was walking for the first time.
"It moved!"
Nine out of ten things in the world did not go according to one's wishes. The more anxious Chen Ge was, the worse the situation would develop.
After the first step, the pair of slippers in the corridor suddenly took a few steps forward, as if someone had put them on.
"The guest is here? Why can't I see it? "
While Chen Ge was thinking, the pair of slippers had already reached the door to the surveillance room. It suddenly stopped, and then the door to the surveillance room opened on its own. After a while, it closed again.
The doors and windows of the Haunted House were tightly shut, so it could not have been caused by the wind.
"What is it looking for?"
In the dim corridor, the pair of slippers moved back and forth, and soon, it stopped at the door to the dressing room.
The door opened, and from Chen Ge's angle, he could see that the black cloth covering the mirror in the dressing room had been pulled back. The mask that was stitched together from different faces floated up and wobbled before the mirror.
This made Chen Ge's heart flutter, and he quickly moved his fingers. To his surprise, the wobbling mask suddenly stopped before the mirror, and the empty eyes of the mask appeared to be staring at the bed that Chen Ge was hiding under.
"I've been discovered!"
The mask fell to the ground, and the door to the dressing room was closed. The pair of slippers paused for a moment at the door, and then the tips of the shoes aimed at Chen Ge as it raced toward the staff breakroom!
Hiding under the bed, his body unable to move, Chen Ge watched as the pair of slippers approached him, but he was unable to escape.
The door to the staff breakroom was pushed open, and the pair of slippers stopped beside the bed.
Chen Ge closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He could feel a cold breeze caressing his face, and he could hear the sound of shallow breathing. It felt like there was a face stuck to his side.
"The monster is checking whether I'm asleep or not." Chen Ge did not dare open his eyes. He was afraid that he would see something scary and lose control of his emotions.
Currently, he was pinned down by the ghost, and his body was immobilized. Playing dead was the best solution.
Several minutes later, the cold breathing disappeared, and Chen Ge opened his eyes a slit.
There was nothing before him. He turned his eyes, and the pair of slippers was placed beside the bed, but the direction of the toes was different from before. It was placed away from the bed.
"It's on my bed?" Chen Ge shuddered at the thought. Whenever he was asleep, there would be this unknown thing wandering around the room. If it was malicious, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The slippers had not been moved for a long time, so the monster should be lying on the bed. Chen Ge felt like his chance had arrived.
He focused all his attention on the only finger that he could move. His pupils danced, and he tried his best to control more of his fingers.
Whether he could complete the Nightmare Mission or not was secondary. The feeling of losing control of his body and being unable to fight back made him uncomfortable.
After completing so many Haunted House missions, Chen Ge's willpower was much stronger than a normal person's. It did not take long for all four of his fingers to move. His palms tightened into fists, and the veins popped. He slowly regained control of his arms. With his extraordinary willpower, he forced himself out of the state of being pinned down by the ghost.
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more." The muscles on his arms tightened, and Chen Ge felt like he was about to wake up. His breathing became smoother, and he could move his neck slightly.
Now that his legs could recover, he would have full control of his body. With Doctor Skull-cracker's hammer, he would not be so passive.
He could not feel his lower body at all. He tried to turn his body to the side.
The sound of his heartbeat entered his ears. He used all his energy and finally rolled his body to the side of the bed that was closest to the wall. It was like jumping down from a high place in a dream and breaking free from some kind of restraint.
Chen Ge regained control of his body, but when he looked behind him, all the hair on his body stood on end.
There was a girl lying behind him.
"The monster didn't get on the bed! It's been behind me! "
Cold sweat dripped down his face. Chen Ge reached out to grab the hammer next to him. The girl who was lying behind him seemed to have just realized that Chen Ge had woken up from his dream.
Her reaction was one beat too slow. She raised her head to look at Chen Ge, and then she morphed into a shadow and ran out of the room in a panic.
