The person that he had been relying on was the real culprit. Ma Feng's shaking hands almost lost their grip on the death certificate.
It was a thin piece of paper, but it felt as heavy as a mountain in his hands. It crushed Ma Feng's heart.
He was trying to escape from death, but he grabbed the arm of the grim reaper and ran for his life.
He was trying to escape from ghosts, but he followed closely behind them and refused to let go.
Ma Feng found it hard to breathe. He looked at Xiao Sun, who was leaning against the door, looking out, and his mental support crumbled into dust.
The blood in his body seemed to freeze, and Ma Feng's world crumbled just like that.
The world spun, and he collapsed heavily to the ground. He could still hear that voice calling out to him — Brother Ma, Brother Ma …
"Brother Ma! Brother Ma! " Xiao Sun shook Ma Feng's body as hard as he could, but Ma Feng did not respond. Perhaps Brother Ma had lost all interest in this world.
"We are already safe! Big brother! We have been through so much to reach a safe room, so why would you faint at a time like this? "
Xiao Sun had a bitter smile on his face. He could confirm that there were no Haunted House actors in this room because this was the room that he had lived in when he was still alive.
"What should I do now? It doesn't feel like a normal fainting. Should I bring him to the underground morgue to see the doctors? But I am not that familiar with the doctors, and that old man looks very scary. "With a human life at stake, Xiao Sun did not dare hesitate. He helped Ma Feng up and prepared to leave the room.
They had only taken a few steps when the phone in Ma Feng's pocket suddenly rang.
Xiao Sun took out his phone and glanced at it. The caller was called Qin Guang.
"I have some impression of him. He seems to be a rather good streamer. He came in here with Ma Feng." Xiao Sun was about to answer the call when he suddenly hesitated. "I used Ma Feng's phone to answer the call, but Ma Feng is currently unconscious, and he cannot make any sound. That will easily cause people to think that it was me who knocked Ma Feng out. Even though I am also a Haunted House actor, I cannot admit to things that I did not do. "
Not only did Xiao Sun not knock Ma Feng out, he even revived the unconscious Ma Feng many times. Therefore, he was not willing to take the blame no matter what.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Sun hung up the phone and sent a message to Qin Guang. "I'm hiding in a room. There are people walking around outside the door. It's not convenient to talk now."
A moment later, Qin Guang replied, "I'm with the students from the medical school. Where are you guys? This Haunted House is very dangerous. We feel like this place is really haunted. "
Seeing Qin Guang's reply, Xiao Sun raised his eyebrows. "Exposed? Who was the one who exposed it? If the visitors knew that Haunted House was really haunted, who would dare come here? What an eventful time! I have to think of a way to fix this! "
He held his phone and thought hard. In the end, he replied to Qin Guang. "My partner and I have found a hidden tunnel. We have entered the hidden scenario. What about you guys?"
"We are also inside the hidden scenario! The medical students saved me. They found the hidden tunnel inside a sub-scenario with the theme of the heart. Now, we are hiding inside a residential building inside the hidden scenario. "
Xiao Sun stared at the words on his phone. He did not expect that Qin Guang and the rest of the visitors had already entered the hidden scenario. "Can you give us a more specific location? Are there any buildings around you that stand out? "
"The sign outside the building says Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2. There are no tenants inside the building, and it's filled with sickrooms. It's very scary."
"Don't wander off. I'll go meet up with you." After sending that message, Xiao Sun immediately ran out of the room, but he returned halfway. "It's not safe to leave Ma Feng alone in the room. His condition is different from other people's. I'd better bring him with me. When I run into the other employees, I'll hand Ma Feng over to them and have them bring Ma Feng to the doctor as soon as possible."
Xiao Sun had a good idea. He supported Ma Feng out of his room, but the strange thing was, even though there were so many ghosts inside the Haunted House, Xiao Sun did not run into a single person. It appeared like everyone was trying to avoid him.
"This Ma Feng is indeed a big problem. No one wants to get too close to him."
…
Inside the hidden scenario, Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2, Heshan, Zuo Han, and Mr Wang stood together. They surrounded Qin Guang, who was holding the phone, in the middle.
"Take a closer look at Ma Feng's message. Does this sound like Ma Feng's tone? Even someone like me, who has not interacted with Ma Feng for that long, can see the problem, and you're asking me why? "Zuo Han shook his head." The person on the phone has already changed. "
"But this is CEO Ma's phone number!" Qin Guang still did not quite believe it.
"Why can't I explain it to you? Then why don't you explain it to me? Why didn't he call you but insisted on replying to your message? "
"Perhaps it's not convenient for him at the moment?"
"Wrong. It's because the actor who is good at mimicking voices has not arrived yet. When the actor arrives, he will use Ma Feng's voice to mislead you." Zuo Han waved his hands. "Stop dreaming. A large group of Haunted House workers already know our location. If you don't want to faint from fear, you'd better leave with us immediately."
"But what if it really is CEO Ma? When he arrives and realizes we're not here …" Qin Guang was worried that Ma Feng would get angry.
"I'm telling you one last time. We were kind enough to let you follow us, but now you're the one begging us, so don't waste your breath." Zuo Han shoved a rag doll's head toward Qin Guang. "Take it with you, and don't lose it."
"Do I have to bring this thing with me?" Qin Guang held the rag doll's head with both hands, and his face was filled with unwillingness.
"We spent so much effort to find the rag doll's head, so of course, we have to bring it with us." Heshan did not have a good impression of Qin Guang's group. If not for the fact that Zuo Han felt that Qin Guang was useful, he would not have taken Qin Guang in.
"Not only do we have to bring it with us, we have to maintain enough respect for it." Zuo Han's voice had always been cold. When he thought about problems, he rarely mixed his personal emotions into it. Even if the visitors had once mocked and ridiculed him, as long as he thought they were of use to him, he would forgive them and take them in.
The crux of the problem was that they had to be useful to him and help him improve his current situation.
After clearing Coffin Village, Zuo Han had a deep fear toward the various quest items inside the Haunted House. He knew that at the end of the tour, all the ghosts inside the scenario would go berserk and attack the people who had the quest items first.
To put it bluntly, he had taken Qin Guang in because he wanted Qin Guang's' death 'to have some value.
Walking to the entrance of Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2, Zuo Han signaled for Qin Guang to lead the way. "The rag doll's head in your hand is a talisman. As long as you have it, you won't be attacked by the monsters in the black fog."
Zuo Han had no idea whether he would be attacked by the monsters or not, but he had experimented with it before, and the rag doll's head could indeed dispel the black fog.
Qin Guang walked at the front of the group with suspicion. Strangely enough, the black fog avoided him on its own.
The black fog seems to be afraid of the rag doll's head. Why would that happen? This scenario is called the ghost fetus, so the rag doll is the ghost fetus? Zuo Han speculated based on his past experience. The boss of the Haunted House is a master of psychology, and he can manipulate the fear in people's hearts to perfection. I can't use a normal mind to try to understand Mr. Chen's thoughts.
Zuo Han touched the tip of his nose, and his eyes kept staring at the rag doll's head. The mission requirement is to find all the body parts of the rag doll. If the rag doll is the ghost fetus, then finding all the body parts of the rag doll is equivalent to the visitors voluntarily piecing together the scariest monster in this scenario, isn't it?
With that thought in mind, Zuo Han felt a chill run down his spine. Mr. Chen wants the visitors to personally release the demon!
Clearing the scenario was impossible. Just the thought of it made Zuo Han shudder. The terror that this scenario brought him was far greater than any other scenario.
To make matters worse, he knew that this was not the scariest part of the ghost fetus scenario.
The difficulty of a four-star scenario is indeed different. This time, I'll just treat it as a scout. I already know the location of a hidden pathway, so the next challenge should be much easier. Zuo Han and the other visitors walked out of Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2. With the protection of the rag doll's head, they were not attacked by the strange things in the black fog, and they arrived at the entrance of Block 1 very easily.
"Building 2 is filled with strange sickrooms. It seems like the tenants are all crazy. Could this residential area be a private mental hospital?" The background of the ghost fetus scenario was very vague. Zuo Han could only speculate based on the clues that he had found.
There were many clues hidden inside Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2, but the thing that troubled Zuo Han was that these clues could not form a complete chain.
Actually, this was not Zuo Han's fault. To prevent the ghost fetus and part of the secret of the cursed hospital from being exposed, Chen Ge had removed some of the important clues that originally existed inside the scenario.
What the visitors saw was what Chen Ge wanted them to see.
However, just from these scattered clues, Zuo Han and Mr Wang still managed to come up with some conclusions.
"For the time being, let's assume that Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2 is a mental asylum. The patients there are all very unique, and the strangest thing is that the doctors do not seem to want to treat them properly at all. Instead, they keep guiding them down the path of madness and aggravating their illness."
"The hidden scenario is the core scenario. The appearance of this private mental hospital proves that this private mental hospital is very important to the ghost fetus. Our main character probably completed his final transformation here.
"If the rag doll symbolizes the ghost fetus, then finding the missing parts of the rag doll is to awaken the ghost fetus. The difficulty of the scenario will increase to an unbelievable level. This is definitely not the best solution!" Zuo Han glanced at the rag doll subconsciously and realized that the eyes on the rag doll's head appeared to be looking at him as well.
His heart suddenly raced. To his surprise, Zuo Han saw a trace of sadness and loneliness in the rag doll's eyes.
"Finding the rag doll's body parts and bringing it out of the scenario is probably a suicide mission. The real way to clear this scenario is probably to reform the rag doll and help it find its release." Zuo Han's brain was spinning fast, and many ideas were colliding in his mind.
"What are you thinking about?" Mr Wang had a high regard for Zuo Han, so he asked softly.
Zuo Han silently shared his speculation with Mr Wang. The latter did not reply for a long time, but he slowed down his footsteps. It was not until he was far away from Qin Guang that Mr Wang whispered, "Zuo Han, do you know what my biggest feeling is?"
"What is it?"
"Realism." Mr Wang's expression turned serious. "It's too realistic. I've been involved in many heavy crimes, and this place gives me the same feeling as a murder scene."
"You suspect that a murder has really happened here?" Zuo Han was very clever. Once Mr Wang opened his mouth, he guessed Mr Wang's thought.
"Yes, and it's not just one." Mr. Wang took a deep breath. "The layout of this place and the words left behind by those who died tragically all give off a bloody sense of realism. If you haven't been to the frontline, you probably won't be able to understand it."
"But if so many murders have really happened here, then Mr Chen's Haunted House would not have been able to continue operating. From how I see it, he probably copied the murders that he was involved in into the Haunted House and added some artistic touches to make it look like this. "
"Hopefully, I'm just overthinking things." Mr Wang walked at the back of the group. He rarely walked with his students like this.
"Sir, if you are really interested in this place, we can come again next time." Zuo Han wanted to lighten the mood. He was afraid that Mr Wang would be reminded of the bad things that had happened in the past.
"I'm afraid we won't have the chance anymore. I need to go to Xin Hai soon."
"You still can't let go of that case?"
"Zuo Han, do you know what is the most important thing for a forensic doctor?"
"To determine the cause of death from pathology, to provide the most effective support for the police to build a chain of evidence."
"You're right, but you're also wrong." Mr Wang pointed lightly at his heart. In the end, he did not say anything else.
Zuo Han did not pursue the matter. He merely memorized the two words' Xin Hai '. If possible, he wanted to help Mr Wang.
The remaining four visitors entered Jiu Hong Apartments Block 1. A faded stench permeated the dark corridors. Every house had a bowl of white rice placed at the door, and there was a pair of chopsticks stuck in the middle of the rice.
"Before we explore this scenario, I have to inform you that two-thirds of the tour time has passed. Soon, this scenario will enter its third phase. All the ghosts will go crazy, so you'd better be mentally prepared."
After Zuo Han said that, he led the others into the corridor.
Not long after they left, the blood rain drenched the outer wall of the building. In the black fog, many red shadows slowly appeared.
The visitors inside the building did not notice anything strange. Qin Guang, who was hugging the rag doll's head, walked at the front. After he realized that the rag doll's head could chase away the black fog, he had treated it like a treasure and kept it close to his chest.
"This time, I'm quite lucky. I've met a few old players who are willing to guide me, but I wonder what's going on with CEO Ma."
He opened the doors one after another, and nothing happened. Qin Guang's courage slowly grew.
When he reached the third floor, a strange sound came from the first floor. It sounded like someone had accidentally knocked over the rice at the door.
