"The woman in the red raincoat appeared at the platform. Let's hurry up and search for her. See if there are any clues left behind at the platform." Fu Bole and the other few haunted house designers surrounded the platform and soon discovered some problems.
There were two figures at the back of the platform, one male and one female. The two figures were carved on the platform like they were frozen memories.
There was a puddle of water at the bottom of the platform. One could see a male student in a school uniform and a female teacher holding a red umbrella in the water.
There were some random words carved at the corner of the platform. They were crooked. The person who left these words was probably immersed in a kind of childish and simple happiness.
"Love starts from the moment I met you.
I missed the last bus, but I managed to find you.
"Do you mind if I take you home?"
These crooked words seemed to be able to evoke the viewer's memories of their youth. They were innocent, clumsy, and beautiful.
"Such words are carved at such a dark and eerie place? Was there a cruel and horrifying story behind this pure first love? All the beauty is just a cover that will be torn apart at the last moment to create despair through the contrast? " Sister Snake's haunted house appeared to have a similar theme. She touched the black skull on her arm like she was lost in her memories. This was a woman with a story.
"The style of this street is completely different from the other buildings. Theoretically speaking, there should be a lot of Scare Points, but we haven't seen anything scary." The bad feeling in Zuo Han's heart grew stronger. It felt like this was the calm before the storm.
"Stop inspecting the platform. We need to move to the next location immediately!" Zuo Han looked at the black fog that was chasing after them. He called the others to run down the other side of the street.
"We need to leave this place. The ghost fetus scenario has broken all the rules that I've come up with. No experience can be used as a reference here. Why is this happening?"
Everything happened very suddenly. It was as if there was an invisible hand behind the scenes pushing everything forward.
"In less than fifteen minutes, we're entering the third stage. All the ghost actors at the four-star scenario have started to go on a rampage. The chance of us escaping with just the three of us is zero." Zuo Han understood that he had encountered the worst situation. The few haunted house designers are unreliable. If they do not change their mind immediately, perhaps they will 'disappear' in the next sub-scenario. How am I supposed to solve this?
Squeezing his brain, Zuo Han's forehead was soon covered in sweat. He was under a lot of pressure. On one hand, he had to face an unknown enemy, and on the other hand, he had to lead a group of idiotic teammates and the haunted house workers hidden among them.
Trapped both internally and externally, he really could not think of a good way to deal with it.
"This is too hasty! This four-star scenario doesn't give me any time to think. "
After the red raincoat left, the buildings on both sides of the street didn't have that scary feeling anymore. It was just like a normal street.
The visitors easily left the long street and arrived at the entrance of an orphanage that was mainly black and white.
The rusty iron door was ajar, and a creepy nursery rhyme came out of nowhere.
The orphanage looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but there were children's clothes hanging in the yard. There was a newly dug hole in the ground, which seemed to have been used to bury something.
There were signs of human activity everywhere in the orphanage, but the visitors could not find a single person.
The wind chimes that hung from the roof swayed lightly, and Zuo Han pushed open the door to the main hall.
Sad music drifted out from one of the rooms, and at the end of the dining tables was a broken altar.
"This is a private orphanage. A public welfare organization would not have an altar like this." Mr Wang looked at the altar and was reminded of something that had happened to him in the past. "Some private orphanages believe in karma, so they would have an altar in their own room, but this is the first time I've seen an orphanage like this that has an altar placed in the main hall."
Walking past the long wooden dining table, Mr Wang's expression darkened.
The name Fang Yu was scrawled all over the altar, and it looked scary.
"This was carved out bit by bit with fingernails. The dark spots on it are blood stains. They have merged with the wooden planks. It is very strange. It feels like someone has been repeatedly digging out the words on the altar for years." Mr Wang was confused. "Is there such a high price to pay to create a prop?"
"This might not be Mr. Chen's doing. He has provided clues for many murder cases, and I suspect some of the items inside this Haunted House were directly brought back from the crime scenes," Mr Wang whispered. Zuo Han whispered. These topics were considered internal secrets, so he did not want too many people to know about it.
"The boss has provided clues for many murder cases?" Mr Wang asked subconsciously. "I've also heard that things have not been so peaceful recently. Jiujiang's police station has a new informant, and that informant is this Haunted House's boss?"
"Sir, because of that incident, you no longer have any contact with the police, so you might not know, but this Haunted House's boss is very …" Zuo Han thought about it for a long time, but he did not know how to describe it. "His parents have disappeared. To investigate this case, he forcefully overturned all the old cases in Jiujiang from twenty years ago. I don't know how to describe this kind of person. In any case, I can only say, stay away from him."
"He overturned cases from twenty years ago?"
"Yes, actually, that is not the scariest part." Zuo Han lowered his voice even further. "He has provided the police of Jiujiang with clues on many serious crimes and solved many cases, but there has been no progress at all on the case of his parents' disappearance. I suspect there is a big problem here. The disappearance of his parents is definitely not as simple as it looks."
"Is it actually because of this that you keep coming to visit his Haunted House?" Mr Wang had a high regard for Zuo Han. He felt that he was one of the best students at Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine. He felt that Zuo Han was different from other children; he was definitely not the kind of student who liked to play around.
"I'm afraid I do not have the right to investigate his parents' disappearance." Zuo Han looked at the altar before him. "I cannot see through him at all. I have no idea what he is thinking. In fact, sometimes, I don't even dare to look him in the eye. I've tried to analyze his psychological state and personality, and the conclusion that I've come up with scares me. He has a rationality and calmness that surpass a normal person, an unbelievable adaptability, and a very high intelligence. "
"Are there any similar comparison parameters in the database?"
"No, he is a monster. To be able to design so many scary scenarios and find the hidden clues of so many serious cases, compared to him, no one has the right to be called a genius. " Zuo Han's hand lightly touched the altar, and his fingertip traced the names one by one. "The more I know, the more afraid I become, and the more afraid I become, the more curious I become. I want to find out the truth, and if possible, I plan to use the last holiday before I graduate to come and work for him. "
"The top student from a medical university has come to work at a Haunted House?" Mr Wang suspected that he had heard wrongly. "You are much smarter than I am. What you lack is experience. If he is really as good as you say, even if you come here to work, you probably won't find anything useful."
While the two were chatting, a wooden door in the side hall was pushed open. An old man with white hair walked out from it, holding a thermos bottle. When he saw so many people standing in the hall, he was startled.
"Are you here to adopt a child?" The old man's voice was shaking. His body was weak, and it felt like he could faint at any moment.
"You're already so old, but you still want to work at a Haunted House? This Haunted House sure is evil. " Fu Bole walked to stand before the old man. "We are not here to adopt a child. We are here to look for something. Have you seen this before?"
He took out the picture of the rag doll from his pocket and waved it before the old man's face.
"I have not seen it before. If you are not here to adopt a child, then please leave. This small town is not peaceful. If you do not leave now, you will never be able to leave." The old man coughed several times and was about to leave when Ma Feng, who had not spoken in the crowd, suddenly stood out.
"Wait a minute! Have I seen you somewhere before? " Ma Feng had taken over Jiang Jiu's job. To get to know Chen Ge better, he had spent the night watching the video of Chen Ge challenging his own Haunted House. This old man before him appeared in the video before, but he could not remember where.
"I have been staying at the orphanage to take care of the children. I have never left this small town, so how could you have seen me before? Have you been here before? " The old man was the lingering spirit that Chen Ge had brought back from the futuristic theme park. He had also brought back his grandson, the wind chime ghost, and the Red Specter in the costume.
"Perhaps I have mistaken him for someone else."
"In this small town, you cannot mistake someone else for someone else. The familiar face that you saw might not be him. It might be someone else in disguise. Even though they have the same face and voice, their hearts are completely different." The old man suddenly started to cough violently like he had just revealed a secret. "Hurry up and leave. Do not stay here for too long."
"Hey!" Fu Bole reached out to grab the old man, but just as he was about to grab the old man's arm, the old man used a very strange posture to evade his grasp. No one saw it clearly. Only Fu Bole maintained his action of grabbing at empty air.
The door to the side hall was not closed, but after the old man entered it, he disappeared.
A very bad feeling spread through the crowd's heart. Fu Bole subconsciously walked toward the side hall.
Standing outside, he could hear the children's laughter, but after he pushed open the door, there was no one in the side hall. There were only some toys scattered randomly on the ground.
"There has to be something hidden inside this orphanage, and think about it. The rag doll that Mr. Chen asked us to find is so old and tattered. A normal child would not play with a doll like this. It is most likely an abandoned child's toy." Wei Chaochao tried to analyze the situation. "The orphanage takes in all homeless children, so there is a high chance that the rag doll that we are looking for is hidden here."
Everyone thought that Wei Chaochao had a point. Only Zuo Han frowned and did not say anything.
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with what I said? "Wei Chaochao was a very smart person, but his intelligence was only limited to certain aspects.
"Your thinking is too one-sided. If we look at the whole scenario, the chance of the rag doll being hidden here is very small because there are still many scenarios that have not been explored yet." Zuo Han voiced his opinion.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I believe that this orphanage is a cover that Mr. Chen purposely used. There is a high chance that this place is a trap. We'd better not waste too much time here." Zuo Han knew that even if he said that, those people might not listen to him, so after he said that, he walked to the side with Heshan and Mr Wang and started to look for clues.
"Do not let him sway our morale. We will explore this place according to our own plan." Fu Bole shared the same opinion as Wei Chaochao. They followed the previous groups and started to search for the rag doll's tracks.
The black fog floated down the street and slowly surrounded the orphanage.
Zuo Han prepared to leave and head to the next scenario, but the haunted house designers insisted on staying at the orphanage.
The two parties had a disagreement, so they parted.
Zuo Han led Heshan and Mr Wang away while the rest continued to explore the black fog.
"This is an orphanage, but we have not seen a single child." Wei Chaochao stood at the door to the side hall. "Could we have been tricked by the old man?"
"The old man finally entered the side hall. Have you checked the side hall?" Fu Bole and Qin Guang stood next to Wei Chaochao while the others searched the kitchen and the backyard.
"I have checked everything, but we did not find him. After he entered the side hall, it was as if he had disappeared …" At this point, Wei Chaochao's eyes suddenly lit up. "The side hall is connected to the backyard. Our first impression is that he has gone to the backyard, but there is another possibility — there is a hidden path in the side hall!"
The three of them entered the side hall again. The arrangement of the toys on the ground was different from before.
"Someone has touched something here!" Wei Chaochao noticed the problem at first. Before he finished, he saw a small figure run past the place where the backyard was connected to the side hall. "Stop right there!"
Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole rushed over. They ignored Qin Guang, who was behind them, and chased after the figure into the storeroom in the backyard.
Pushing open the wooden door, they were greeted by an old altar table, and there was a strange picture placed on the table.
The old man in the picture was facing away from Wei Chaochao and Fu Bole, and he appeared to be hugging something in his arms.
"The back of the person in this picture is quite familiar."
Qin Guang, who was left alone in the side hall, was about to walk out when he suddenly heard the sound of a rubber ball bouncing on the ground. He turned his head to look.
There was a toy ball in the side hall that had rolled into the hall on its own. The strange thing was, there seemed to be something hiding in the dark corner.
The rubber ball rolled into the darkness, and then it was kicked out by someone. It was as if there were two invisible children playing a game.
The corner of Qin Guang's eyes twitched. Without another word, he left the side hall and ran to meet up with the others.
After he left, a boy in a red shirt walked out from the corner of the wall with bloodshot eyes.
"From how I see it, scaring people is a very simple and happy thing for them. Why is it so difficult for me? Why? "
Just as the boy in the red shirt was getting more and more agitated, the door of Room 1 on the first floor of the Soundless Home slammed heavily against the wall. A woman in a red raincoat walked out from the stairwell with the anger of being deceived.
Blood vessels churned. Inside the endless black fog, blood rain started to fall again.
