Liang Er, Liang San, and the middle-aged woman from the City of Amnesia searched through the black fog. The visibility was extremely low, and they could not see anything more than three meters away.
"Where did this black fog come from?"
"If it's white fog, it's probably made from the vaporization of dry ice, but this is the first time I've seen black fog." Liang Er scratched his head. "It's colorless and odorless. Other than interfering with vision, it doesn't seem to have any other use."
"Theoretically speaking, the hidden path in the first scenario should lead to the hidden room that contains the first clue. This room won't be that big. The boss probably wants us to find the rag doll's body inside the black fog," the middle-aged woman analyzed based on her experience in designing Haunted Houses.
"Let's look together. Be careful not to stray too far away. There might be actors hiding in the black fog."
The three of them walked forward together. After walking for a full two minutes, they still hadn't reached the end. Their expressions gradually changed.
"This doesn't look like a hidden room …"
"It's so big. Have we arrived at a new scenario? But why can't we see any actors? What is the design concept behind his Haunted House? How come I don't get it? "
"How about we go back the way we came? We'll meet up with the others first. "
"Okay."
Stopping, the three haunted house designers turned to look behind them, and they discovered something scary.
"Is this the direction we came from?"
The ground under their feet was no different. They were surrounded by black fog, and there was no point of reference. It was impossible to tell the direction.
"Wait a minute, isn't there another person in our group? When did that kid disappear? "
The longer they stayed in the black fog, the more the fear in their heart would be magnified. The three haunted house designers' hearts started to shake, and at that moment, they heard a woman's scream of pain and despair.
Slowly moving forward, they turned on the flashlight function on their phones.
The light twisted in the black fog, and they could see a woman covered in bandages in the distance.
The black fog surrounded her, and the woman was madly sucking the surrounding black fog like a masochist.
The fog surged into her body, tearing open wounds on her body before leaking out from the wounds on her skin.
The woman seemed to be searching for something in the black fog. She used her body as a vessel, and the whole process was excruciating.
The black mist gathered around her. As she continued to absorb the black mist, black and red tattoos began to appear on her body.
The tattoo was like a second piece of clothing, wrapping around her body.
From afar, this woman exuded an extremely strange beauty, but if one looked closely at the scenes depicted by those tattoos, everyone would feel fear.
The black threads cut through the woman's skin like knives. Blood mixed with the black threads, forming the tragic life of a child.
All kinds of inhuman experiences, pain and torture beyond the imagination of ordinary people, in the deepest suffering and despair, a flower of sin was blooming!
The light from the phone shone on the woman. The three haunted house designers saw the woman's body that was covered in wounds under the bandages, and their scalps went numb.
"What is this? He does not look like a Haunted House worker! Is it a mannequin? "Liang San stared at the strange posture of the woman as he whispered to his brother.
"At first glance, she looks beautiful, but upon closer inspection, she looks disgusting …" Just as the word left his lips, Liang Er saw the woman's head slowly turn around. A pair of eyes filled with curses and murderous intent stared at him.
Liang Er's body instantly lost control. Every piece of fat on his body was jiggling.
The sound of high heels stepping on the ground slowly echoed, and the faces in the world of the black fog were wailing.
The human heads that were connected by the cursed threads rushed down from the roof while cackling. There were also human-headed monsters that looked like centipedes crawling on the ground and the walls. They charged at the three haunted house designers with the deepest malice.
Earlier, they had been saying that there were no Haunted House workers here, but in just a few seconds, everything had changed.
Liang Er and Liang San did not even know where these things had come from. Their faces were pale, and their instincts told them to retreat.
More and more monsters appeared. They had not even seen these things in their nightmares; they had already surpassed their definition of fear.
"Run! Run! "
The middle-aged woman was the first to react. She sprinted backward, and as she moved, all the monsters rushed at her like a wave.
There were too many of them!
Liang San also started to run, but he only took a few steps when he heard the scream behind him. He realized that his brother was still standing where he was.
"I can't move anymore!" Liang Er had no idea what was happening to his body. Ever since he uttered the word 'disgusting', he felt like his heart was beating at an abnormal rate. It was as if his body did not belong to him anymore.
Liang San hesitated for a moment. Due to their bond, he turned to grab Liang Er's arm. "Brother! I'll carry you! "
Before he finished, he saw the threads from the black fog curl around Liang Er's body and were crawling toward him!
Liang San was so scared that he immediately let go. The fat on his face was shaking from fear, and the eyes that were buried inside the fat had never been so wide before. "What are these things?"
Flinging his arm away, Liang San subconsciously turned to run backward. "Brother! I'll go get someone for you! Hang in there! "
Liang San could not care less about what was happening behind him anymore. He ran as fast as he could in a certain direction.
There was no point of reference in the black fog, and he had no idea where he was. He was surrounded by monsters, and he did not dare stop for even a second.
"Liang San, Liang San …"
After who knew how long, a familiar voice came from the fog.
"Brother?"
"Yes, it's me! Quick, come this way! "
The voice led Liang San to run in a certain direction, and the shadow of a baby appeared in the black fog.
Liang San wanted to avoid the shadow, but he realized that his brother's voice was coming from where the shadow was.
He felt that something was wrong and wanted to change direction, but once he turned around, the baby started to chase after him madly!
"Liang San, I'm your brother!"
"Get lost! Don't chase me! " Liang San had completely lost the confidence that he had when he first entered the Haunted House. His psychological barrier had completely collapsed when he abandoned Liang Er.
"I'm really your big brother! Have you forgotten? When you were young, you were playing hide and seek. You were hiding under the bed, and someone was whispering to you. Do you remember that one time, when you escaped to go online at night, there was a big dog that kept barking at you in the stairwell, and from then on, you were afraid of dogs? Actually, that dog wasn't barking at you. It saw me! "
"I'm your big brother, the big brother that you will never be able to shake off, Liang Yi!
"I've died before you guys! But I've never left! "
The baby's shadow crawled on the ground and finally caught up to Liang San. It climbed onto Liang San's body and strangled Liang San's neck. The bloody face hung upside down before Liang San's eyes.
"Look closely! Look closely! We look so much alike! "
"Ah!"
Liang San shook his head madly. The thing that he feared the most was reproduced by the curse. Not long after, he fainted with white foam coming out of his mouth.
The sound of high heels clacking against the ground echoed. The scary baby laughed strangely before turning back into the curse and disappearing into the black fog.
The screams continued. The middle-aged woman staggered as she ran through the black fog. The monsters were attracted by Liang Er and Liang San, and she was the first to run, so her situation was not that bad.
"Where did these props come from? What is going on at this Haunted House? " The middle-aged woman's heart was in a mess. She kept running, and after running for ten minutes, she suddenly saw the wall.
"Is this the path that we came from?" She searched along the wall and finally found the black iron door.
"This door is not locked! We're so lucky! "
The middle-aged woman pulled the iron door open and ran up the stairs. She was getting closer and closer to the exit.
"I have to tell the others about this place! This Haunted House is too strange! "
She ran to the top of the hidden tunnel. She pushed the red snail door before her, but the door did not budge.
"What's going on?"
Strange laughter and crying came from the other end of the hidden tunnel. Many shadows were moving in the black fog.
The middle-aged woman pounded on the door and screamed for help, but no one came to help.
"Help! Help me! "
Her last cry for help was swallowed by the shadows. After the black fog swallowed everything, it did not dissipate. If anything, it thickened.
…
Walking in the middle of the Voiceless Small Town, Zuo Han suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you guys hear the cry for help?" Zuo Han turned back to look at the Soundless Home. "It seems to come from the building that we came out from earlier."
"Should we go back to take a look?" Heshan was still worried about those people. He was afraid that some accident might happen.
"I don't know who the actors are. In this situation, other than the two of you, there is no need to save the others. If we waste our energy to save them, we might end up in even bigger trouble. " Zuo Han looked at the black fog that continued to spread out from the Soundless Home, and he frowned. "This is spreading too fast. If this continues, the game will enter the third phase soon."
"The third phase?"
"Normally, when we get the key mission item and prepare to leave, all the actors inside the scenario will start to move freely and hunt down all the visitors that they see. Therefore, the third phase is also known as the Big Escape." Zuo Han was worried. "When I challenged Coffin Village, to transport the wedding dress, I sacrificed all my teammates. In the third phase, brain power is useless. It's all about stamina and luck. "
"That's not good for us. The three of us don't seem to be that lucky," Heshan grumbled softly.
"Let's move faster. If we can't find the rag doll's body parts, we'll be in a worse situation."
The group quickly moved away. Including the other haunted house designers, none of the visitors chose to go back to save their teammate who had screamed. Everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention it. It was as if everyone had temporarily gone deaf.
After the appearance of the black fog, the whole scenario became stranger. Occasionally, an eye would open on the wall, and a ghost with a wicked smile would flash in the corner. The scariest thing in the ghost fetus' memory was getting closer and closer to the visitors.
After turning a corner, a long street appeared before the visitors. The two sides of the street were lined with gray buildings, and some of the buildings were covered in cracks.
"Have we been here before? How come it feels like this street just appeared out of nowhere? " Zuo Han was the first to enter the street. He did not walk for long before he saw a figure appear on the street. "Careful! There's someone up ahead! "
In the dim light, the figure wearing a red raincoat stood facing away from the visitors. She stood next to a simple platform like she was waiting for someone.
"It's not raining, so why is she wearing a raincoat?" Zuo Han did not dare get too close. He frowned deeply, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"You are a haunted house actor, so why are there so many questions?" Fu Bole was annoyed when he saw Zuo Han's reaction. "I refuse to believe that you can keep up the act."
Seeing the woman in the red raincoat, Xiao Sun's eyes lit up in the crowd. He had seen this Red Specter in the world behind the ghost fetus' door before, so he knew that she was Chen Ge's employee. "I need to find a way to get close to her. Tell her that I have already destroyed the first hidden path and tell her to contact the boss as soon as possible."
With that in mind, Xiao Sun voluntarily walked forward.
The haunted house designers were looking for an 'idiot' to test the waters. Since Xiao Sun had volunteered, they did not even think about stopping him.
However, when Zuo Han saw Xiao Sun walk toward him, for some reason, a very bad feeling rose in his heart. He raised his hand, but in the end, he did not stop Xiao Sun.
Carrying the hope of the whole team, Xiao Sun walked to the platform. At that moment, the rest of the visitors stopped outside the platform, about two to three meters away from Xiao Sun.
"Hello, my name is Sun Xiaojun." Xiao Sun lowered his voice and used his back to block the other visitors' view. He placed his hands before his chest and silently pointed at himself. "I have destroyed the hidden path …"
Seeing that someone was coming, the woman in the red raincoat slowly turned around to reveal that extremely scary face.
Her mouth was sewn shut by the shadow, and when she spoke, her voice came out from the seams. It was very scary.
"Have you seen my child?"
"Big sister, the hidden path is broken. Quick, get the boss to come here." Xiao Sun did not dare raise his voice. He pressed his lips together like he was mimicking the woman in the red raincoat.
"Have you seen my child?" The woman in the red raincoat was acting as herself. Her red eyes darted around her eyes, and her emotions became unstable.
Xiao Sun saw that the woman in the red raincoat was still immersed in the script, and he panicked. If this continued, the whole street would be swallowed by the black fog.
"Have you seen my child?"
The woman in the red raincoat's voice was very scary. Blood vessels crawled on her body, and her emotions appeared like they would go out of control at any moment.
Xiao Sun did not dare continue to agitate the woman in the red raincoat. After all, this was a real Red Specter. He was about to give up communicating with the woman in the red raincoat when an idea appeared in his mind.
Since the woman in the red raincoat cannot understand what I'm trying to say, why don't I just have her go to the hidden path to take a look? That's such a simple logic!
With that in mind, Xiao Sun said without any discussion with his teammates, "I have seen your child! I know where he is! Really! I promise you that! "
He sounded very certain. The visitors had no idea what he was doing, and the woman in the red raincoat's expression froze. That was not what the script said. How could the visitors know where the Red Specter's child was hiding?
"My child was wearing a tattered floral shirt, and there was a red scar on his forehead. There was a birthmark in the shape of a maple leaf on his chest."
What the woman in the red raincoat said was not from the script at all; it appeared to be the characteristics of her child when she was still alive.
"That's right! It's him! "Xiao Sun slapped his thigh." The child that I've seen is the same as you described! He is inside the building at the entrance of the scenario! Take a closer look at Room 1 on the first floor! "
Before he finished, the blood vessels on the woman in the red raincoat started to boil. After searching for so many years, someone had finally said that they had seen her child.
She turned to walk to the back of the platform and soon disappeared.
Seeing the woman in the red raincoat leave, Xiao Sun sighed in relief. When she sees that the hidden path has been destroyed and the black fog is leaking out, she will know the severity of the situation.
By then, Xiao Sun still had no idea how serious the situation was. He finally revealed a relaxed smile and returned to the group of visitors.
