"It's not locked?" Chen Ge pushed the iron door open, and before him were many two-storey buildings with different styles. It was hard to imagine such a building could be hidden deep inside the forest.
"There is a brand new mailbox hanging on the door, and there are red buckets filled with clean water placed inside the door. There are clothes hanging out to dry at the back of the house. Someone has been living here for quite some time."
To avoid scaring the 'resident', Chen Ge waved his phone and then knocked lightly on the door. He called out, "Is anyone there?"
The surroundings were quiet. He waited for 10 seconds. Just as Chen Ge was about to give up, the door of the building next to him was pushed open a gap.
No one spoke. After a long silence, a hoarse voice came from behind the door. "Who are you looking for?"
It was impossible to tell the person's age from the voice. Chen Ge looked at the building and did not approach it recklessly.
When a normal resident discovered a stranger had entered their home late at night, their first reaction would not be to open the door but to switch on the lights.
However, the owner of the voice acted very strangely. After 10 seconds of hesitation, he opened the door to the room he was in.
"Excuse me, is this Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa?" Chen Ge was very polite. No matter the time and the situation, he believed in the principle of not hitting someone who was smiling at him.
"How can I help you?" The person behind the door did not answer Chen Ge directly, but from his tone, it was clear that the person had admitted it.
"It's like this. My friend said he lives at Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa, and he asked me to go and find him tonight. However, the location of Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa is not on my phone's GPS, so I'm looking for someone to ask for directions."
Chen Ge was not lying. He was indeed going to find his friend, but when the person behind the door heard what Chen Ge said, he sucked in a cold breath. "Your friend lives at Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa?"
The person's voice was very strange. His throat appeared to be scalded by something, and his words were slurred and unclear.
"Yes, do you know where Yong Ling Mountain Holiday Villa is?" Chen Ge took a few steps forward. He was curious about the person behind the door.
"Of course I know, because this is the Yong Ling Mountain Villa." Hearing Chen Ge's approaching footsteps, the man closed the door again. "Yongling Mountain Resort was rebuilt from the Yongling Mountain Villa District. At the time, something happened here, and most of the people who lived here chose to move away. Later, the resort was abandoned for various reasons, and I was the only one left to guard the door."
The man paused for a moment and continued through the door, "I'm the only one in this resort. You must have been deceived by your friend. He doesn't actually live here."
"This shouldn't be the case." Chen Ge said casually, "In the past, a crew came to Yongling Mountain Villa to shoot a film. He was one of the crew members. This time, he invited me here because he made an important discovery."
"Stop, it's getting dark. Don't talk nonsense." The man behind the door spoke very quickly like he wanted Chen Ge to shut up.
The man's strange reaction was exactly what Chen Ge wanted to see. He did not stop and started to talk to himself again. "The reason Yong Ling Mountain Villa was rebuilt into a resort is probably because of that crew. I heard that many strange things happened when they were filming. The movie they were filming was called — Left Oculus?"
"Stop talking!" The man pushed the door open, and he was getting agitated.
The door was completely open, and Chen Ge finally had the chance to observe the man. The man before him was about forty years old. He was short, and his back was severely hunched. His face was pale, and most importantly, his eyes were closed tightly like he was blind.
Chen Ge waved his hand lightly before the man, but the man did not react. "I'm sorry, I mean no harm. My friend told me all that."
"Your friend said he was from the crew? What does he look like? "The man finally calmed down.
"What does he look like?" Chen Ge was quite surprised. It did not feel right for a blind man to ask about someone else's appearance.
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge described Lee Changyin's appearance to the man.
The man frowned when he heard that. He signaled for Chen Ge to go into the room. "Don't stay outside. Come in and talk."
The room was dark. The switch on the wall had been removed, and only an ugly groove was left.
The man seemed to have gotten used to the darkness. He walked straight into the living room and sat on the sofa. He did not touch anything on the way.
Running into a blind man with a scary appearance in the middle of nowhere, if it was anyone else, they would not have followed him into the room, but Chen Ge was an exception.
"I don't know what your friend told you, but there is one thing I am sure of. You have been tricked by him." The man reached out to the coffee table. He picked up a plastic cup and took a sip of the water inside.
"Do you think I will believe you or my friend?" Chen Ge noticed that the man's hand was shaking when he raised the cup.
"The people from Left Oculus will not come back. This place is the shadow that haunts them for the rest of their lives. It was not easy for them to escape, so why would they come back?" The man's emotions had calmed down, and his voice returned to normal.
"Brother, from your tone, it sounds like you know some inside information?" Chen Ge sat across from the man. The lights in the room were not on. The moonlight shone into the living room through the window, casting a small white shadow on the coffee table.
"I'm just a janitor. I don't know what happened to the crew. I only know that Room 744 on Yong Ling Mountain that they used for the shoot was leveled." The man had his eyes closed, but his face was facing where Chen Ge was sitting. "After this place was converted into a holiday, the boss built a private theater at the original location of Room 744 …"
Just as the man mentioned the theater, the black phone in Chen Ge's pocket suddenly vibrated.
The man could not see, so he did not notice anything out of place.
Chen Ge was quite curious. Why would the black phone receive a message at a time like this?
He took out the phone, swiped the screen, and clicked on the new message.
"Congratulations, Specter's Favored! Congratulations for triggering the two-star special mission — The Story of Left Oculus!
"This mission is made up of three parts. Please head to Dead Man's Theater within half an hour! And watch a complete movie! "
"After this mission is completed, the next part of the mission will be announced!"
Looking at the words on the phone, Chen Ge's eyes narrowed. "Did I write it wrong? It should be a private theater, right? "
"Hey, are you listening to me?" the man yelled at Chen Ge.
"I'm sorry, I was a bit spooked. Please continue." Chen Ge glanced at the time and then put the phone away.
"What happened later was indeed quite scary. No matter if it was day or night, once you entered the theater, it felt eerie and creepy. Many of the audience members said that when they watched the movie that they had chosen, they would occasionally notice a completely unrelated figure in the movie."
