Jiang Ling held Fan Yu's hand as they entered the world behind the door. Chen Ge had no other choice. Compared to the Red Specter covered in faces, he felt safer behind the blood door.
The air thickened, and the smell of blood swirled around their noses. Their vision was blocked, and it felt like they were standing in a fog.
"It's different from the world behind the door at the Third Sick Hall."
This was the second time Chen Ge had entered the blood door. The world behind Coffin Village was filled with blood fog, and one could only see three meters ahead.
"Don't get lost. There are things hiding in the fog that will eat you." Jiang Ling had completely dropped her disguise, and there was an undeniable dominance in her childish voice.
"Okay." Chen Ge's gaze was strange. "It's hard to imagine a little girl who can't even hit my shoulder is a Top Red Specter."
"Even though you've saved me, please watch your words, or else I'll have to repay you after you die." Jiang Ling looked at Chen Ge coldly. After entering the door, her dress started to change. The blood vessels in the fog curled around her like she was the owner of this place.
Chen Ge's eyelids twitched. He thought that sentence was familiar, and he was reminded of the love letter from Zhang Ya.
After Chen Ge entered, Jiang Ling closed the door. When she opened it again, the scene outside had completely changed.
Before them was a blood red village, and the fog blocked out the sky.
"The Red Specter will catch up soon. This door won't buy him much time."
When the blood fog reached Jiang Ling, it melted into her body, but probably because she was too injured, she could not actively absorb the fog.
With Jiang Ling leading the way, the three walked toward the side of the village. The closed door behind them shook slightly, and there were screams coming from behind it.
"Where are you taking us?" The blood fog did not affect Jiang Ling, but it made Chen Ge and Fan Yu uncomfortable. It felt like they were stuck in a swamp.
"Be quiet." Jiang Ling signaled for the two to hide in the hut. A few seconds later, a strange monster walked out of the fog.
Its body was tall, its arms were deformed, and its facial features were crooked and hideous. It wore a coarse coat and looked around as if it was looking for something.
In the mist, the monster walked past Jiang Ling and the others and soon disappeared.
"What's that?" Chen Ge pointed in the direction the monster had left.
"Villagers." The venom in Jiang Ling's eyes could not be hidden. "They are the villagers in my mind."
"The villagers in your mind? This blood red world was constructed based on your knowledge? "Chen Ge attached great importance to all information related to the door.
"I don't know how this world came to be. I only know that this world is very similar to a nightmare I once had. In my nightmare, all the villagers are monsters like him, deformed and ugly, and they're looking for me, trying to capture me. "Jiang Ling did not continue. She changed direction and walked deeper into the village.
Behind the door was a blood red world, but even now, Chen Ge had no idea whether the world was connected or individual.
According to the investigator who jumped off the building, everyone had a door in their heart, and only when their soul was on the brink of collapse would they be able to open the door.
The door to the Third Sick Hall was pushed open by Meng Nan, and the world behind the door was the world in Meng Nan's memory. There were patients who had been injected with sedatives, twisted doctors, and broken arms due to fear.
The world behind Coffin Village's door was covered in blood fog, and there were deformed villagers who wanted to capture her. This matched the female ghost's impression of the village.
Could it be that the world behind the door is a reflection of the human heart? Is it a real nightmare? "
Chen Ge was reminded of the door in his Haunted House. But why would there be a door in my Haunted House? Who left that door behind?
The blood fog spread, and the sound of fighting came from behind them. It should be the Red Specters from the Society of Strange Tales fighting the villagers behind the door.
"Let them fight. We'll go get something."
Walking through the fog, Jiang Ling led Chen Ge and Fan Yu to the center of the village.
The fog thinned, and the villagers knelt in the middle of the clearing.
They were deformed and ugly. Even though they were wearing clothes, they could not be called humans.
"What are they doing?"
"Repenting."
The monsters had their heads lowered, and their bodies were aimed at the ancestral hall. In the middle of the ancestral hall and the village was a red coffin!
Different from real life, the coffin behind the door was blocking the entrance to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was the place to worship the ancestors, but this coffin was standing in the middle of the hall.
"As long as we open that coffin, we'll be fine tonight." Jiang Ling walked to the side and slowly approached the ancestral hall. "Do not alarm these monsters."
The three living people held their breaths as they inched closer to the ancestral hall.
The fog moved, and like they sensed the presence of living humans, some of the monsters' lowered heads shook slightly.
Fan Yu and Jiang Ling walked in front, and Chen Ge brought up the rear. Looking at the monsters kneeling on the ground, he felt strange. Humans.
Red paper money was scattered around them. The monsters appeared to be attending a funeral. They were forced to lower their heads to make a sad expression, and they tried to squeeze out some tears.
"Mourning? Funeral? " Ever since Chen Ge entered Coffin Village, he had noticed many things related to funerals, including the white lanterns, paper money, and coffins.
"Be it in real life or the world behind the door, this village appears to be holding a funeral, a funeral that hasn't ended even now."
Chen Ge took out the black phone to look at it. "I've entered the world behind the door, but the phone didn't say I've failed the mission. Looks like in the black phone's judgment, as long as I don't leave the village, I'll be fine."
He found the mission information. He had seen the name Coffin Village on the black phone. Initially, he thought the name was weird, but he did not think too much about it.
However, after combining all the things that he had encountered in the village, Chen Ge had some speculations. "Living coffins?"
Sliding the screen to the mission notification, Chen Ge looked at the message on his phone.
"That day, other than me, they all came."
The hint for this Trial Mission was very short. Chen Ge slowly narrowed his eyes. It was not until then that he understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Those people came to attend 'my' funeral. They came to send 'me' off, so other than me, they all came. This hint is telling me that the key to solving this situation is related to the funeral. "
