"Do you hear any weird noises?" Qin Guang held the rag doll's head in his hands and stood guard at the door like a mascot.
Zuo Han's mission was to have him guard the door because the rag doll's head could disperse the black fog so that the ghosts could hide from it.
This reason convinced Qin Guang. In the black fog, he had noticed that the rag doll's head indeed had this effect. Even if someone else asked him to hand over the rag doll's head, he probably would not have done so.
"Just stand guard outside the door and don't move. Warn us if you see any ghosts coming." Zuo Han and the other people from Jiujiang University of Law and Medicine searched the room. The real reason he had Qin Guang stand guard outside the door was so that Qin Guang could distract the ghosts. Even if there were ghosts, their main target would be Qin Guang.
"Okay." Qin Guang had just answered when he heard another weird noise. It came from downstairs.
Slowly turning around, Qin Guang stared at the staircase.
The worn-out walls were plastered with white 'fu' characters, paper money was scattered on the ground, and bowls of white rice were placed at the entrance. The building looked like a large tomb, burying an entire building of dead people.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm just visiting a Haunted House. I've been to real supernatural scenarios before, so why would I be afraid of these fake things?" Qin Guang tried his best to console himself, but he was afraid that once this kind of emotion appeared, it would grow like a poisonous weed. The more he tried to console himself, the more his mind would think about it.
Qin Guang's eyes could not help but wander to the staircase. Since no one had come through it for a long time, the voice-activated light at the corner of the staircase had gone off on its own, and the whole corridor was plunged into darkness.
"Hiss … this is quite scary …"
Sucking in a cold breath, Qin Guang shrunk back. For some reason, there was a very bad feeling in his heart, like his biological instinct was urging him to leave this dangerous place.
"How much longer do you need?" Qin Guang turned to ask Zuo Han. Zuo Han's voice came from inside the bedroom.
"Soon."
After receiving the reply, Qin Guang felt a little more at ease. He was like a child who didn't dare to sleep alone. Every once in a while, he would talk to the adults to see if they had left.
Just as his heart settled back into his stomach, a cold light suddenly shone on his face, and the voice-activated light at the corner of the stairs inexplicably lit up.
"There's no one in the corridor? I didn't hear anything either! " He stared at the corner of the stairs. He did not notice the blood seeping out from the cracks in the wall. He only saw the black fog slowly dissipating in the corridor.
The fog has entered the stairwell? His heart started to race. There seemed to be people moving in the fog.
Focusing his attention, Qin Guang stared at the corner of the corridor. In the blink of an eye, a child's face suddenly poked out from the corner!
"Damn!"
Hugging the rag doll's head, Qin Guang retreated in a hurry, and his body knocked into the door.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Han and Heshan ran out when they heard the noise.
"There's a child at the corner! He seems to have been following us! "Qin Guang gripped the rag doll's head tightly, and his eyes stared at the stairwell.
Heshan gathered his courage and walked to the stairwell. There was no child there. "Are you hallucinating?"
"He's not lying. There really was someone in the stairwell earlier." Zuo Han pointed at the voice-activated light. "The light in the stairwell is on, so someone has been here. We need to move faster. Mr. Chen doesn't plan to give us any more time. "
Zuo Han had personally experienced how scary it was when all the ghosts in the scenario went berserk. That was a memory that he did not want to recall for the rest of his life.
"Go to the next room, quick!" Zuo Han obviously picked up the pace. Qin Guang did not dare stand guard outside the door alone. The four of them entered the room together to search for clues.
"We're running out of time." Sweat broke out on Zuo Han's forehead, and there was anxiety hidden in his eyes. This was the first time that Mr Wang had seen this kind of emotion on Zuo Han.
Clearing this scenario was impossible, so Zuo Han had already started to consider his escape route. Of the four, only Heshan and Qin Guang were still searching for clues.
"I've discovered something very strange. Whenever there's a child in this building, something bad will happen to them." Heshan found a family portrait on the windowsill. The adults' faces were preserved, but the children's faces had been gouged out. "This building seems to be inhabited by a ghost who desperately wants to have a family and love. He is very jealous of those happy families, and the happier the family, the worse the ending will be."
"You're being too one-sided. I think this ghost is very innocent. Even if he represents evil, it is a kind of chaotic evil." Zuo Han stared at the picture in Heshan's hand. "Just like how some children like to tear off the wings of dragonflies, steal puppies and kittens and injure them. Their behavior is hateful, but it proves that they have not been properly guided."
Zuo Han placed the family portrait back on its spot. "Do you still remember Jiu Hong Apartments Block 2? It's the private mental hospital that we were exploring earlier. "
"Senior, why did you suddenly bring up that place? The interior of the two buildings are completely different. Block 2 is closer to a mental hospital while Block 1 is a very normal residential area. "Heshan was confused.
"Think about what I said earlier. The ghost inside the building is a monster who has not developed a sense of self. If he meets the right person, perhaps he will repent and become a good ghost. However, the most despairing thing is that the previous scenario that we visited was a mental hospital. He not only did not receive any treatment, he was led into an even darker abyss. " Zuo Han understood the relationship between the two buildings. "Based on my speculation, every building in this hidden scenario should have a part of the rag doll's body. To find all of the rag doll's body parts, we have to experience all of the rag doll's experiences. We have to see how he slowly descends into the abyss and become what he hates the most."
"We've only found the beginning, so does that mean we have to visit at least four buildings?" Qin Guang was in despair.
"The Haunted House will not give out an impossible mission, so I've given it some thought. This time, the mission is not to find all of the rag doll's body parts but to experience the rag doll's experience and try to influence him to help him build a correct sense of self. At the very least, we need him to show mercy and let us go, "Zuo Han said confidently.
"Why is he so positive?" Qin Guang had a hard time accepting this. Of course, he could not be blamed. After all, the first impression that the Haunted House gave was scary, like it was going to scare people out of their wits. Who would have thought that under such a 'scary appearance' hid such a gentle heart?
"The rag doll's body parts can disperse the black fog. The boss wants us to find the rag doll's body parts for two reasons: one, to force us to experience the ghost's life, and two, the rag doll's body parts are a kind of protection for us to help us complete the mission. The boss is very powerful, and every mission that he gives us has a deeper meaning. "
Hearing Zuo Han say that, Qin Guang's hands that hugged the rag doll's head tightened. He did not know that Zuo Han's words were mixed with lies.
The information that Zuo Han revealed was to make Qin Guang more obedient, to make him more willing to complete the mission that Zuo Han requested.
The number of surviving visitors was very small, so Zuo Han started to pay more attention to Qin Guang. If this was any other time, he would not even have the thought of talking to Qin Guang because they were two completely different people.
Zuo Han's attitude towards finding clues was obviously not as enthusiastic as before, and Mr Wang's attention was more focused on observing Zuo Han. Of the group of four, only Heshan and Qin Guang were working hard to find the remaining clues at the Haunted House.
Entering the bedroom, Qin Guang, who was hugging the rag doll's head, got close to the bed. He noticed a layer of something that looked like black ointment on the bedsheet. "What is this?"
He peeled back the mosquito net and looked inside. In the middle of the black substance was the shape of a living person, and he could see some small words in the empty space.
Qin Guang stepped on the bed with his shoes on. He squatted down at the empty space, took out his phone, and aimed the light at the bedsheet.
"It came again today, still standing at the door. I have no idea what it is doing, but it seems like it wants to come in."
"It looks like my dead child, or at least it looks like it from the back."
"My family saw it too. It's not an illusion; it really exists."
"Whose child is it? Why would it appear in the stairwell at midnight? "
Just reading the words on the bedsheet, Qin Guang felt chills run up his spine. "There's a ghost child inside this building!"
As he continued to read, Qin Guang felt a chill in his chest. It was as if he had swallowed a mouthful of ice in the middle of winter.
He was engrossed in his reading when the shadow that appeared on the bedsheet due to the light from the phone suddenly moved.
Qin Guang turned back to look. Heshan, who was closest to him, was standing at the bedroom door and did not come in.
"It's not that medical student. I've been squatting here, and I haven't moved. Could it be an illusion?" Qin Guang did not dare stay in the bedroom any longer. He stood up, and his forehead touched the mosquito net, causing it to feel itchy.
Reaching out to scratch his head, Qin Guang subconsciously raised his neck to look, and at that moment, he saw many faces lying on the mosquito net above his head!
The pale outlines of the faces were printed outside the mosquito net, and the obvious facial features were sunken inward. All the faces were staring at him! And they had been staring at him for who knew how long!
"Ah!"
Qin Guang collapsed onto the bed. Footprints appeared on the black stains of unknown origin. It looked like the ghosts outside had run into the mosquito net.
"Help! Help! "
Hugging the rag doll's head, Qin Guang rolled down from the bed like a mad bull.
His body was covered by the mosquito net. He yanked the mosquito net that was attached to the ceiling and rushed toward the bedroom door, screaming.
Heshan was given a fright by Qin Guang's sudden scream. When he recovered, he saw Qin Guang ramming into him like a madman.
The two tumbled to the ground. Qin Guang, who was wrapped in the mosquito net, rolled on the ground like he had not recovered from his fear.
"Shush!" Zuo Han had no idea what Qin Guang had seen, but from Qin Guang's exaggerated reaction, he could tell that the ghost fetus scenario was about to start its final stage!
Since Qin Guang was holding the mission item, he was the first to be 'attacked'.
Zuo Han signaled Mr Wang, and the two of them worked together to pull Qin Guang out from the mosquito net.
"There's a ghost! I saw a ghost! It's inside the mosquito net! " Qin Guang screamed. His face was pale, and his lips were purple from fear. "I've had paranormal experience before, and this time, the feeling is even stronger than before. I'm not lying to you! This place is really haunted! "
"I cannot confirm whether ghosts exist or not, but I do know that most of the time, ghosts are a psychological suggestion given by the victim. What you need to do now is to take a deep breath and stand with us. "Mr Wang's voice was steady and powerful. His words slowly calmed Qin Guang down.
"The rag doll's body parts are not in this room. Let's prepare to leave." Compared to Mr Wang, Zuo Han appeared much colder. He was the first to walk out from the room and into the corridor.
The black fog had covered the corridor, and many children's bloody handprints appeared on the walls. The blood on the handprints had not coagulated, like the children had just been crawling outside.
"It's the same scenario, but it gives me a completely different feeling from when I first entered this place." Mr Wang's brows creased together. "Honestly, none of the crime scenes that I've been to are as scary as this."
"The scariest thing is yet to come." Zuo Han pulled Qin Guang to stand before him. "We're currently inside a hidden scenario. In other words, this is the last scenario of the whole experience, and the escape route should be at the deepest part of this scenario. If we're separated due to various accidents, then run toward the deepest part of this scenario, understand? "
"Understood." Qin Guang felt like Zuo Han was a very loyal person. He had shared all the information with him and did not purposely hide it from him.
"You're holding the rag doll's head, so you have to be especially careful. Whether we can escape or not depends on you." Zuo Han wanted to give Qin Guang some more advice, but there was another change in the corridor. The black fog thickened, and the sound of high heels clicking came from inside the building.
"Someone's coming! It's coming from underground! " Zuo Han perked up his ears. All the buildings in the ghost fetus scenario and the world behind the door were upside down. The first floor was closest to the surface, and the fifth floor was the deepest underground.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground seemed to explode in their minds. Zuo Han and Heshan shared a look, and they were reminded of another legend at Haunted House.
There was a Red Specter that appeared randomly at this Haunted House. No one knew what she looked like. Before everyone fainted, they could only remember hearing the sound of high heels clicking on the ground.
"Go back the way we came! Stop exploring this building! We're leaving now! "
Zuo Han's tone turned urgent. The four ran out of the building at full speed.
The monsters in the black fog seemed to know that they had been discovered, and they became more and more reckless.
Crying and laughter appeared at the same time. The doors were pushed open, and the paper money on the ground was ruffled by the wind. A strange mournful music came from the sealed corridor.
The four forced themselves to run up the stairs. Several red shadows slowly appeared from the black fog at the corner of the corridor.
"What is that?" Zuo Han felt his body start to shake uncontrollably. He did not even know why he was so afraid.
The footsteps behind him came closer and closer, and the red shadows before him became clearer and clearer.
Blood rain fell on the face, and a face with a sewn mouth was the first to appear before the visitors.
"Have you seen my child?"
Blood slid down the red raincoat. Before she finished, another fat man in a red shirt walked out.
The man was dragging a large cleaver in his left hand and an unconscious' dead body 'covered in blood in his right hand.
"Fu Bole?"
Seeing Fu Bole, who had become a 'prop' at the Haunted House, Qin Guang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His heart was squeezed, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Just as the two Red Specters appeared, the sound of children laughing came from above the visitors' heads.
They lifted their heads to look, and a child covered in blood was dragging a large pile of dolls on the roof!
"Stay here and play with me!"
The blood fell on Qin Guang's face. He walked at the front, and the three Red Specters surrounded him.
His legs felt like jelly. Just as Qin Guang did not know what to do, the footsteps from downstairs finally approached.
In the black fog, a pair of red high heels slowly appeared. She was like the queen of curses, surrounded by many strange monsters.
"Behind you! Behind you! " Qin Guang screamed. The high heels were only several steps away from Zuo Han. They were already at the edge of despair, and everyone was on the verge of collapse.
"Behind me?" Zuo Han's reaction seemed to slow down. He seemed to have just realized something, and he turned his head to look behind him.
Through the black fog, Zuo Han happened to meet the pair of eyes that were filled with curses.
His heart skipped a beat. Even though he was mentally prepared, Zuo Han still felt his scalp go numb.
But the biggest difference between him and a normal visitor was that he had a determination that far surpassed a normal person's.
His brain worked fast, and in that moment, Zuo Han knew what he should do.
"When a person is scared beyond what their body can handle, they will fall into a temporary coma, and their body will react at the same time.
"When a normal person is scared, their body's circulatory system will go haywire. Their coronary arteries will spasm, and that will lead to blood loss throughout the body. Then, they will experience irregular heartbeat, tachycardia, shortness of breath, discomfort in the precordial region, and breathing difficulties."
The relevant knowledge flashed through his mind. Zuo Han held his chest. Like a fish that had been tossed onto the shore, his eyes rolled back, and his body collapsed backward.
This was a hopeless situation, so Zuo Han decided to pretend to faint. He had been planning this since the beginning.
He had had Qin Guang hold the doll's head to attract the actors and told Qin Guang to run deeper into the scenario. After Qin Guang lured the actors away, he would return through the hidden tunnel.
His body tilted to the side. Before Zuo Han could fall, he suddenly heard a 'plop'!
His eyes opened slightly, and Zuo Han realized that Mr Wang had 'fainted' on the ground!
His face was unnaturally red, and he looked like he was in pain. Before he fainted, he used his arm to press against his head.
"When a person is scared, their endocrine system will go haywire. The symptoms are severe redness on the face, and it will be accompanied by an increase in blood pressure and body temperature. At the same time, being scared will trigger a reaction from the nervous system. The symptoms are dizziness, headache, and a small number of people will even vomit …"
From a medical perspective, Mr Wang's fainting was obviously more professional!
"The older the ginger, the wiser."
Zuo Han and Mr Wang fainted at the same time. When Heshan saw this, he reacted immediately.
However, he had just placed his hand on his chest, and before he could collapse, Qin Guang grabbed his arm. "Quick, run! This is our chance! "
"F * ck! Let go of me! "
After the appearance of the red high heels, the three Red Specters slowed down like they were afraid of the current red high heels.
Qin Guang made use of this opportunity to drag Heshan through the three Red Specters.
The two ran like their lives depended on it. The three Red Specters and the red high heels chased after them as they ran out of the building!
