"Since we're already here, we might as well take things as they come." Chen Ge walked toward the coffins.
"Calm down!" Master Bai grabbed Chen Ge. "Those are coffins for dead people!"
His voice was loud, and Ol 'Wei tried to calm them down. "This is weird. We have to be careful."
"The three rooms that the old lady mentioned should be these three coffins. She's not a person, so the coffins are her home." Chen Ge moved Master Bai's hand away calmly. "Is there something wrong with my logic?"
"The problem is …"
Master Bai and Ol 'Wei didn't know how to talk to Chen Ge. After a long pause, Ol' Wei said, "Aren't you afraid looking at these things?"
"Of course I am, but it's useless to be afraid now, don't you think?" Chen Ge looked at Ol 'Wei. "Don't let these things disturb you. Come over."
The three of them walked to the coffins. The coffins were crudely made, and the surface was painted with a layer of dark brown stuff. It gave off a light stench.
"Is this the smell of a dead body?" Master Bai looked at Ol 'Wei.
"The smell of a dead body is much worse than this. It should be the smell of rotten wood." Knowing that Chen Ge did not want to leave, Ol 'Wei quickly got into character. After all, he was a police officer with a lot of experience, so he was much better than a normal person at crucial moments. "Listen to me, we can't trust the old lady's words completely. We'd better plan ahead tonight. Before we came, I've memorized the way out. The three of us will stay together tonight. If we run into danger, remember to follow behind me. Don't get separated! "
"Let's find out whether the old lady is a ghost or a human." Chen Ge held the coffin lid with both hands.
"What are you doing?"
"Opening the coffin." Chen Ge pushed the lid open bit by bit.
"You're not planning to stay here and sleep with three coffins, are you?"
"Let's see what happens first." Chen Ge pushed the lid open halfway and looked inside. There was a gravecloth at the bottom of the coffin.
"Don't touch it! This is very inauspicious. If you touch it, you will touch the soul of the deceased. It is very easy to bring misfortune. " Master Bai grabbed Chen Ge's hand tightly, and Ol 'Wei ran over as well. The two of them pulled Chen Ge to the side.
"I just want to take a look and figure out the layout of this room." Master Bai and Ol 'Wei sighed in relief when Chen Ge finally calmed down. However, what Chen Ge said next made their hearts skip a beat. "Actually, I wish to open all the coffins in this village. The biggest secret of this village should be hidden inside the coffins."
"Don't say that outside. I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by the villagers." Master Bai walked to the coffin and wanted to close it. He glanced at the graveclothes inside, and his brows furrowed. "Why are their graveclothes bright red?"
"Yes, I thought it was weird when I saw it, so I decided to take it out to take a look." Chen Ge also walked over. "There are white paper lanterns hanging on the door and white paper pasted on the door, but the graveclothes are red. The red and white rituals of this village seem to have been completely reversed. It feels like a Minghun."
"You know about Minghun?" Master Bai glanced at Chen Ge.
"There's a scary scenario at my Haunted House called Minghun. A living person marries a dead person."
Chen Ge was about to tell them about Minghun when Master Bai and Ol 'Wei stopped him. "Stop, it's already scary enough at night."
They stood beside the coffin and looked at the red graveclothes inside, and their hearts shuddered.
"Bang!"
The sudden noise startled Master Bai and Ol 'Wei. They turned to look and realized that Chen Ge had pushed the coffin away as well. They did not even try to stop him.
Inside the three coffins were three bright red graveclothes. Under the flashlight, it looked like blood was seeping out from the bottom of the coffins.
"They're all different sizes, and the workmanship is different. There are males and females, probably a family of three." Chen Ge stood next to the coffins. "What I'm thinking is, the coffins are inside the house, and the graveclothes are inside, but where are the bodies inside?"
He turned to ask Master Bai, "Master Bai, could this be one of the customs of Coffin Village? Every family will prepare a coffin for themselves when they're still alive. "
"Perhaps." Master Bai was not sure.
"There are no bodies inside the coffins. If this is a living coffin, then it proves that the owners are still alive." Chen Ge scratched his chin. "Do you think the owners will return tonight? What if they come back and see us in their room? "
He was just asking casually, but Master Bai and Ol 'Wei felt a chill crawling into their hearts.
"It's good that they're back. We can ask them about the situation here." Master Bai still insisted that the villagers of Coffin Village could be communicated with.
"I think we should use special methods at special times. In this forest, would a normal person leave their home in the middle of the night?" Chen Ge gave his own suggestion. "I think we should hide at the door and capture them when they come in. They're a family of three, and there are three of us. Each of us can deal with one person. After we capture them, remember to cover their mouths and stuff them inside the coffins. Then, use the graveclothes to tie up their hands and feet to restrict their movements. When we have the upper hand, we can interrogate them slowly. "
Chen Ge shared his plan, but Master Bai and Ol 'Wei's expressions became weirder.
"That's not a good idea, right? They're not trying to harm us. " Master Bai was still obedient. He moved away from Chen Ge and stood next to Ol 'Wei. At crucial times, the police were more reliable.
"When they want to harm us, it'll be too late. This is called striking first and stopping the danger in its cradle." After saying that, Chen Ge moved to stand behind the door. His movements were natural like he had practiced this many times. "Ol 'Wei, you hide under the windowsill. Master Bai, you hide next to the second coffin. I've checked. That place is perfect for blocking the enemy's sight."
"Where did you learn all this from?" Ol 'Wei and Master Bai moved to their positions. They did not know how to follow Chen Ge's instructions.
"We're a Haunted House, and the most important thing is to make use of the limited terrain to give the visitors unlimited fear." Chen Ge looked out the door into the courtyard. "Why don't you two rest for a while? You must be tired from running all the way here."
"Okay, then we'll each take turns. That way, we can all get some rest."
After Ol 'Wei said that, Master Bai nodded. "No problem. Even though I'm old, I've always been healthy. It's fine even if I don't sleep."
