Looking at the closed black iron door, Xiao Sun had a complicated expression on his face. He did not expect things to turn out like this. All he did was raise the mirror.
"Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to the visitors." Xiao Sun was worried that the red high heels might accidentally kill the visitors. "I wonder if Brother Chen is inside the Haunted House. Who should I go to first when something like this happens? That actor by the name of Wu Jinpeng looks like a good person. Perhaps he has a solution. "
Xiao Sun was about to turn and run out when he hesitated. He turned to grab the handle of the iron door. "Should I open the door? If the visitors are lucky enough, there might be a one percent chance that they will be able to return the way they came. "
He was doing this out of the kindness of his heart. He wanted to give the visitors a way out.
Removing the chains that were covered in blood vessels, Xiao Sun shoved them into the gap of the door. This way, the iron door would not close completely.
Endless black fog rushed out through the gap and started to spread out into the corridor!
The black threads of the curse seeped into the building. The people who had harmed him in the ghost fetus' memory appeared in another form. They turned into strange shadows that wandered in the black fog.
These monsters had no physical form and would not cause any physical damage to humans or Specters, but they were able to draw out the hatred and fear in people's hearts.
The red high heels used the curse to recreate the ghost fetus' past. She wanted to recreate the process of how the ghost fetus became a Demon God bit by bit, and these shadow monsters were just side effects.
Once the iron door was opened, the shadows in the ghost fetus' memory started to run out madly. They merged into one with the black fog. Unless they wanted to show themselves, they would not have been discovered.
"Don't go too far. I hope we'll meet again next time. I've done my part." Xiao Sun turned to leave. He did not notice the sign next to the iron door that said, "Please close the door behind you."
He ran out of the hidden corridor in a hurry. Just as he returned to his room, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
"The workers at the Haunted House won't make any noise. It has to be the visitors!"
The faded black fog was drifting out from the entrance of the hidden corridor. Xiao Sun looked around, and he knew this was bad.
If the other visitors followed him into the hidden corridor, things would get really bad.
Exposing myself is not a big deal, but sending everyone into the hidden scenario five minutes into the game is a big deal! This was the first time that Xiao Sun had worked as a Haunted House worker, so he had no experience at all. He was a smart person, but now that the situation was dire, he felt like his hands were tied. "Temporarily, I need to restore the mechanism. We cannot allow more visitors to enter the hidden scenario. After I find Brother Chen, we will enter the corridor from here to find the three visitors."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and all sounds were magnified in this environment. Xiao Sun felt as if the footsteps were ringing directly in his heart.
He closed the door with the blood red snail and gripped the edge of the mirror with both hands. "When I pushed the mirror up, I triggered the mechanism. To restore the mechanism, I need to push the mirror down."
Xiao Sun exerted strength in his arms and pressed down on both sides of the mirror, but the mirror and the door did not react at all.
"What happened?!"
The sound of footsteps approached rapidly from the corridor. If Xiao Sun had not become a ghost, his clothes would have been soaked in cold sweat.
His hands exerted more force, and his eyes were filled with anxiety. "This is bad, this is bad. How do I close this thing?"
Xiao Sun shook the mirror up and down madly. More blood stains and droplets appeared on the surface of the mirror, and a confused human face slowly appeared on the surface.
"Shouldn't I move it up and down?" Gripping the two ends of the mirror, Xiao Sun tried to turn the frame, but the moment he exerted more force, the frame that held the frame in place snapped!
"Sh * t!"
Looking at the mirror that he had yanked from the wall, Xiao Sun was dumbfounded. He subconsciously turned to look at the hidden corridor that was leaking black fog.
The wall slowly closed, and the blood red snail door appeared to have never been there.
The door outside the hidden corridor was closed, but there was still a gap left on the black iron door inside the hidden corridor.
The black fog leaked out and crawled into the building. It spread through the gaps in the wall and spread into the whole room.
Strange, despairing faces appeared and disappeared on the wall, and the difficulty of the scenario continued to rise.
"What are you doing?" The students from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine, who were exploring the same floor, ran over. They looked at the room that was covered in black fog and Xiao Sun, who was standing alone inside the toilet, holding the mirror.
"To be honest, I have no idea what I am doing." Xiao Sun held the mirror, and he felt like he did not know whether to put it down or not.
"Where are the other people from your group?"
"They refused to listen to me and left on their own."
The other two groups that were looking for the rag doll's broken body parts heard the commotion, and they all ran up the stairs.
In less than three minutes, the first floor of the building had changed. A scary mannequin that looked like a pile of mud was crawling at the door, and the black fog kept drifting out from the room. In fact, some of the people were wondering if this was where they had been earlier.
"Why are you all gathered here? Where is Liang Er and Liang San? What is the deal with the monster at the door? "Fu Bole glanced into the room, but he did not see the three haunted house designers.
"I have no idea. The three of them told me to stay here and not cause any trouble. Then, they appeared to have discovered the hidden corridor, triggered some kind of mechanism, and then disappeared." Xiao Sun's answer was ambiguous. He was not a person who was good at lying.
"How could a living person disappear just like that? Which room did they disappear into? "Ma Feng frowned when he realized that three people had already disappeared after they had just split up into groups.
"This floor." Xiao Sun was very anxious. He was worried that if he delayed any longer, he might have to collect Liang Er and Liang San's bodies.
From his perspective, the most important thing now was to find Chen Ge and inform the red high heels that a visitor had entered the hidden scenario.
"The three people from your group have all disappeared, and only you are still here. This is quite strange." Zuo Han was about to say something when Fu Bole suddenly walked to the side of the group from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine. "What are you doing?"
Fu Bole stared at Zuo Han, and his expression was rather dark. "This is the doing of the three of you, isn't it?"
"Us?" Heshan pointed at himself. "Have you lost your mind? The three of us are not with them, and we have just arrived as well! "
"Indeed, you are not with Liang Er and Liang San, but you are on the same floor as them. You are the closest to them!" Fu Bole's hand pressed on the mud mannequin next to him. "This mannequin was not here when we first arrived. In other words, someone moved it here after we left. Look at how heavy this mannequin is. A single person would not have been able to move the mannequin here without anyone noticing, so it has to be a group operation! "
Hearing Fu Bole's analysis, the people from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine and Xiao Sun were shocked.
"If not for the fact that you have been slandering Mr. Chen's haunted house, I would have thought that you are the real actor hired by the haunted house." Heshan was speechless. "Even if there is an actor among us, the most likely suspect is this Xiao Sun. Other than him, everyone else in his group has disappeared. Isn't he the biggest suspect? Are you going to ignore him just because he cannot move the mannequin alone? "
Heshan's reasoning ability could be said to have been trained at Chen Ge's haunted house. Before this, he believed in the goodness of human nature, but later, he realized that human nature was' full of different forms', and it was the most complicated thing in the world.
Hearing what Heshan said, Xiao Sun sighed in relief for some reason. Finally, someone was starting to suspect him. If he could not continue the act any longer, he would escape as soon as possible. Being surrounded by so many living people was too much of a thrill.
"You cannot come up with anything to refute me, so you start to drag other people down with you? Trying to confuse the public? Trying to fish in troubled waters? " From the very beginning, Fu Bole had been suspicious of Zuo Han's group. He had been operating a haunted house for many years, but he had not encountered visitors like Zuo Han and Heshan. They were just visiting a haunted house, and they were so deep in their analysis that it was like they had been transported into a horror movie.
First impressions were the strongest. Fu Bole always considered the problem from his own perspective. Everything that he thought about was based on his own understanding.
"You have made up your mind to frame us, haven't you? Do you have a grudge against the forensic doctor? "
While the few were arguing, the black fog in the room thickened, and human faces could be seen flashing through it.
Standing in the middle of the black fog, Mr Wang felt strangely agitated. Memories that had been buried deep in his heart kept flashing through his mind. Among them were the faces of the killer and the faces of the victims. The people in the pictures in his memory seemed to have come alive and were slowly leaping toward him.
The more horrifying a person was in real life, the more they would be affected by the black fog.
Shaking his head, Mr Wang reached out to support himself against the door frame.
"Sir, are you not feeling well?" Zuo Han was the first to notice Mr Wang's strange behavior.
"I was fine when I first came in, but I suddenly felt a bit dizzy, but I'm fine now."
"Perhaps it has something to do with this black fog. I also feel this strange." Zuo Han lowered his voice to a whisper.
"You feel that way as well?" Mr Wang was very surprised.
"Yes." Zuo Han stood next to Mr Wang. His lips were moving slightly, and if one did not listen closely, one would not be able to hear his voice at all.
"What are you two whispering about?" Wei Chaochao shouted. He had been staring at Zuo Han and Mr Wang. With Fu Bole's guidance, he also believed that there was a high chance that the people from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine were actors.
"We do not need to report to you what we are discussing. You can treat us as the haunted house's actors. That will not affect us at all." Zuo Han was a loner. He was too lazy to deal with the haunted house designers. He turned directly to tell Heshan and Mr Wang, "The sudden appearance of the black fog should be some kind of signal, telling us that we cannot stay at one place for too long. As time moves on, the black fog might cover the whole scenario. In other words, the difficulty of our survival will only increase."
"Isn't this black fog similar to the 'poison circle' in some video games? The area of the fog will continue to expand, and the visitors' area of activity will continue to shrink. If we stay in the fog for too long, we will run into danger. "Heshan instantly understood.
"Now I have two speculations. First, the three missing visitors have found the hidden path, and they have used the hidden path to go to other places to speed up the game. The appearance of the black fog means that the game has entered the second stage. If we want to avoid the black fog, the only way is to find the hidden path and enter the other scenario through the hidden path like they did. " Zuo Han used the only clues he had to analyze the situation. "But the problem is that we have only been in the haunted house for five minutes. Based on Mr Chen's usual practice, he will increase the difficulty halfway through the visit. Today's challenge is a bit too illogical."
"Then, what is the second speculation?"
"The second speculation is that some kind of change has happened inside the haunted house, and something unexpected has happened here." Zuo Han did not argue with the haunted house designers. When he spoke, the haunted house designers slowly closed their mouths and listened to him quietly. Perhaps that was his aura.
"Then, what should we do if it's the second scenario?" Heshan asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"If it's the second scenario, then it's bad. Do you still remember what I said when we first entered the haunted house?" Zuo Han's expression was not that good.
"What did you say?"
"This haunted house might really be haunted." Zuo Han did not continue this topic. "Sir, Heshan, we will look for the hidden path in these few rooms on the left. Based on the time, the three missing people can only be inside these few rooms."
Without arguing or arguing, with Zuo Han leading the way, everyone started to search for the hidden path on the first floor.
"The black fog is still spreading! Time is limited! If we can't find the hidden path in five minutes, we will leave immediately! "
Looking at the busy group, Xiao Sun held the mirror with both of his hands, and his face was filled with bitterness. He really did not have the heart to say that he had already broken the mechanism of the hidden path.
Now the door outside could not be opened, and the door inside could not be closed. The black fog continued to leak out, and the game's difficulty continued to increase.
Five minutes later, the black fog had spread out from the Soundless Home. It drifted directly onto the street, and many flickering faces appeared all over the buildings.
"That hidden path should be a one-time use! We should leave this scenario for now. The black fog will continue to spread as time moves on. We need to use this time to explore more scenarios! "
After saying that, Zuo Han walked out of the building without hesitation. Heshan and Mr Wang followed closely behind him.
"We should go to other scenarios as well." Shang Guan Qing Hong signaled for everyone to follow Zuo Han. "For now, let's not worry about whether he is a haunted house actor or not. We will follow him and see what he wants to do."
"This Zuo Han is like an NPC at a haunted house. He keeps giving us hints, telling us the progress of the game, and he keeps creating panic. If you follow him, you might end up like Liang Er and Liang San." Fu Bole still insisted on his opinion, but he did not slow down at all.
After everyone left the Soundless Home, the picture of the child on the missing-person notice at the door blinked.
At the same time, on the third basement floor of the Soundless Home, a child wearing a red shirt ran out from his hiding place.
He rushed to the stairwell and looked at the departing visitors. He tossed the script that he had hidden under his red shirt to the ground.
"I've been training for three days, and you're leaving just like that?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The red shirt picked up the script again and chased after the few visitors.
