Time trickled by, and night fell over the Haunted house.
In the latter half of the night, a strange sound appeared in the quiet Haunted House, like someone was sawing something.
Inside the staff breakroom, Chen Ge slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at his phone — it was 1: 10 am.
He turned over and used the pillow to press his head, but the strange sound continued to drill into his ears.
"I'm not dreaming, right? What's making that sound?
Every prop in the Haunted House was personally made or modified by Chen Ge. He knew very well that none of the props would make this kind of sound.
After seven hours of sleep, his brain was still not fully awake. Chen Ge pinched his thigh as hard as he could, put on his shirt, and took out a hammer from the toolbox.
He turned on the flashlight and pushed open the door to the breakroom.
The Haunted House at night was much scarier than in the morning. Chen Ge leaned against the door and did not rush out.
It can't be a thief, only an idiot would come to a Haunted House at night to steal things; it can't be a mouse either, the sound of them chewing on wood is very soft and soft, not this clear. After eliminating the two possibilities that a normal person could think of, Chen Ge started to think in an abnormal direction. Could it be that the monster inside the mirror has escaped?
Due to the lack of fabric, Chen Ge did not completely cover up the mirror inside the Murder by Midnight scenario on the third floor.
He stared at the dark corridor and took a few steps back. He placed the doll left behind by his parents next to him before he dared to walk out the door.
The sound came from above him. Chen Ge walked up the stairs until he stopped outside the Murder by Midnight scenario.
It's coming from here, but I can't tell whether it's from the lingering souls of the victims at Ping An Apartments or the thing inside the mirror. Stopping at the door, Chen Ge hesitated. Honestly, even he did not want to enter a scary scenario at night.
Tortured by the cutting sound inside the room, Chen Ge gripped the handle of the hammer tightly. I already have the title of Specter's Favored and the kindness of the victims at Ping An Apartments. Even if I run into the thing inside the mirror inside the Murder by Midnight scenario, it shouldn't be able to do anything to me.
He thought back to the time when the mirror monster had knocked He San unconscious. It was because of Xu Wan's sudden appearance that the monster had failed at the last moment. From this, it could be seen that the monster was not that strong.
Let's go in and take a look. After all, the mirror monster and I are already at each other's throats. The more I know about it, the more confident I'll be in dealing with it. Chen Ge was very calm. He knew that he was not afraid of the monster itself but the feeling of the unknown.
Opening the door to the Murder by Midnight scenario, a light moldy smell wafted through the air. This place was becoming more and more similar to Ping An Apartments.
The doors on both sides of the corridor were half-closed. Chen Ge entered with the hammer in his other hand.
The cutting sound grew louder and louder, and Chen Ge knew he was getting closer to the truth.
He walked through the entire third floor and finally stopped in front of a door. He had already confirmed that the strange sound came from inside this room.
The door was not closed. Chen Ge reached out to grab the lock, and the cold sensation woke him up instantly.
The muscles in his legs tensed, and he pushed the door open.
Who's inside?
Chen Ge rushed into the room with the hammer raised. He saw a large black shadow squatting inside the bathroom. From the shape, it looked very similar to He Feng!
The shadow did not expect someone to come in. It dropped the thing in its hand, turned around, and jumped into the mirror.
"Stop right there!" Chen Ge screamed. He swung the hammer, but he hit nothing.
The bathroom was empty like everything that had happened earlier was just an illusion.
That shadow is definitely not He Feng! But why is it the same size and height as He Feng? Standing before the mirror, Chen Ge looked at himself in the mirror, and he felt very uncomfortable. This monster is mimicking He Feng? What is the real purpose of it doing this? "
The appearance of the shadow brought many questions, but it also revealed two pieces of information to Chen Ge.
First, the mirror monster could leave the mirror to move around; second, it could transform into a person who had looked into the mirror.
This thing is more dangerous than I thought.
The cutting sound that echoed in the Haunted House finally stopped. Chen Ge squatted down to look at the few things that the shadow had tossed away.
On the rough concrete floor, there were four ragdolls and a few sharp shards of a mirror.
He held the ragdolls in his palm to inspect them. The ones that represented his mother, sister, and sister were covered in dirt and dust, but they were fine.
The only exception was the ragdoll that represented his father. Its neck had been sliced in half, and there were many scratches on its body.
Why is the father the only one injured? Chen Ge soon came up with a reason. The ragdoll that represented his father had helped He Feng escape and ruined the mirror monster's plan, so the monster was seeking revenge.
The lingering spirits of the four victims were unable to stop the mirror monster, and they could only be bullied by it. The difference in power is too big. Chen Ge had no idea about the power of that world, so he could only speculate based on the limited information he had. Other than scaring people, the lingering spirits of the victims have no other means of attack. The mirror monster is one level higher than the lingering spirits, but it runs when it sees people. This means that the monster is very weak, and its main attack should be on the mental level. For example, it can make use of the weakness in people's hearts to cause them to hallucinate and lose themselves.
Combining what had happened to Heshan and He Feng, Chen Ge came to his own conclusion.
The mirror monster was difficult to deal with, but in a direct confrontation, it would not be able to unleash its full power. Therefore, as long as he could lure it out of the mirror, everything would be easy.
I need to come up with a plan and try to deal with it tonight. That way, the Murder by Midnight scenario can be put to use tomorrow. Chen Ge's eyes were calm. The mirror monster was getting more and more arrogant. If he did not deal with it, Chen Ge would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Leaving the Murder by Midnight scenario with the four ragdolls, Chen Ge locked the door and entered the Props Room.
As he took out a needle and thread to stitch up the wounds on the ragdolls, he tried to come up with a plan.
The monster is very aggressive, and it seems to be very interested in living humans. If I want to lure it out of the mirror, the easiest way is to use living humans as bait. Chen Ge's hands were very nimble, and he had already stitched up most of the wounds in a few minutes.
