Every time he wakes up, it's 11: 56 pm. When I looked at the clock earlier, it was the same time. Chen Ge looked at the wall again, and the time on the clock had changed to 11: 57 pm.
A recurring nightmare, that fits the theme of the scenario. The way to clear the scenario perfectly should be to break the cycle. Chen Ge placed the fruit platter on the coffee table to the side and placed the mannequin's body on the table. The first change to this scenario will happen in three minutes. You'd better go and find the rest of the mannequin's body.
"We're a team. Can you please be more polite with us?" One of the girls wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the man with the glasses.
The group split into groups of two and started to explore the house. The house was not big, and there were only four rooms.
With the living room that they entered as the center, the left side was the bedroom, and the right side was the kitchen and bathroom.
The visitors rummaged through the cupboards to look for the body, and Chen Ge sat on the sofa, looking at the mannequin's head.
"In medium difficulty, we only need to find the body to clear the scenario, but will the condition change for hellish difficulty?" He held the ball of paper that he had taken out from the mannequin's mouth. "Every midnight, he'll be killed using various methods. Is he trapped in a nightmare that he can't wake up from, or is his death real?"
"Ah!"
A scream from inside the bedroom interrupted Chen Ge's thought. Moments later, a female visitor ran out from the bedroom. The youngest boy followed behind her. He held a bloodied axe in his left hand, and his right held the mannequin's thigh that had been sliced into three pieces. "I found this under the armoire, and I also found this."
The boy dropped a coat on the sofa. "There are also parts of the mannequin's body inside the coat's pocket. I suggest you all come and take a look. I can't handle this alone."
Chen Ge placed all the bodies on the coffee table and then entered the bedroom with the young man.
The armoire door was open, and all the clothes inside were stained with blood. A bloodied table lamp sat in the corner of the armoire.
"The axe was also found in the corner of the armoire. It's a prop, and it's not sharpened." The young man's expression was relatively calm; he was not spooked.
"The body was placed together with the murder weapon." Chen Ge seemed to understand something, and he turned to look at the living room.
On the fruit platter on the coffee table, other than the five fingers, there was also a fruit knife. There was also a table knife under the tray with the human head in the fridge.
He took out all the clothes from the closet, rummaged through the pockets, and placed the mannequin body parts on the table.
The other visitors looked at him. Even though they knew that the body parts were fake, they still felt disgusted and uncomfortable.
The more they looked at Chen Ge, the more they realized how scary he was. Not only did this man not show any fear, he even pieced the various parts of the body parts together. Looking at how focused he was, he looked very much like himself when he was playing with puzzles.
"Isn't he the owner of a haunted house? How do you know these things? "
"Perhaps he used to be a medical student. That would explain why the students keep visiting his Haunted House. They are probably there to support their senior."
A relatively intact body slowly appeared on the coffee table. With the talents of Dollmaker and Mortician's Make-Up, Chen Ge had a deep understanding of the human body.
After rummaging through all the clothes, Chen Ge finally found what he was looking for. He found a second note inside one of the coat pockets. This is an inescapable nightmare! I have to find a way to end it! I can't just sit here and wait for death!
"Did you find anything?" Just as the bespectacled man asked that question, the clock on the wall suddenly rang. It was midnight.
Following the sound of cuckoo, the small door under the clock opened, and a cuckoo bird appeared. There was a black and red heart attached to its body.
"Be careful!" The youngest boy suddenly screamed. He looked at his wristwatch and retreated into the crowd.
No one knew what the boy's occupation was, but from his reaction, it seemed like his occupation allowed him to predict danger.
The sound of water splashing echoed in the bathroom. The curtain in the living room was lifted. Other than the crying of a woman and the laughter of a little girl, there was a third voice. It sounded like someone was talking in his sleep. It was hard to tell what he was saying, but it was clear that it was a man's voice.
"Something's coming."
The closet in the bedroom creaked noisily. The few visitors looked into the closet, and the closet that had been emptied by Chen Ge suddenly had a new coat.
It was a blood red coat. Blood flowed down the coat, and it swayed lightly inside the dark closet.
The police and the other visitors were squeezed in the middle of the living room, and the scene before them appeared to be something that was not part of the script.
"A Red Specter?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes, and his pupils narrowed. Whenever he saw a bloody coat, he would have an instinctive reaction.
"Pa!"
The drying rack inside the closet fell to the ground, and strangely enough, the blood red coat was still hanging inside the closet.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the Red Specter, the television in the living room flickered and turned on on on its own.
The sudden light caused the few to turn back to look. The television kept flickering, and when the image changed, they could see a blob of black.
The weak light above their heads flickered several times before going off. Now they could only rely on the light from the television to see their surroundings.
"Is he awake?"
"Who's that?"
An unfamiliar male voice came from one of the rooms, and the few visitors turned to look around.
"The bedroom! Look at the bedroom! "
The swaying coat ran out from the closet on its own. When everyone's attention was attracted by the television, the coat hung on the bedroom door.
"Don't be afraid, let's go take a look together!" The police officer's voice was so nervous that even Chen Ge suspected that they were sent by the Haunted House.
He and the bespectacled man approached the bedroom. When they were about to reach the door, the half-open bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and an arm that was covered in wounds suddenly reached out to pull the coat behind the door.
Before the police officer and the bespectacled man could react, a decapitated head poked out from behind the door. He was holding an axe that was stained with blood, and he swung it at the police officer's head.
The police officer was scared to the ground. He screamed and tried to dodge. The strange man rushed out from the bedroom and swung the axe at everyone in the living room. A man's hysterical voice could be heard around them.
"Die! Die! Die! "
Everyone ran for cover, and only Chen Ge stood where he was.
The swinging axe pierced through his body. The strange man rushed past him and crawled into the bathroom.
"There's a Red Specter in their projection."
When Chen Ge saw the strange man, he knew that it was just a projection. Even though the blood on the man's body was very realistic, the blood that dripped down did not drip onto the floor, and the door that the man touched was very clean.
"The projection will only appear when the light is obviously dimmer. That should be the limitation of technology."
"This is too scary!" The police officer stood up with his hand over his chest. "We need to find the body. We can't stay here any longer!"
"There's no need to rush. I already know what has happened inside this house." Chen Ge picked up the head on the coffee table. "The clue is hidden in that projection. If you look closely, you'll realize that the face of that projection is the same as this head."
"What does that prove?" The police officer looked at Chen Ge, who was holding the head in his hands. He had a feeling that the man was very familiar with even holding the head.
"The first note says that the owner of this house will be killed every night at midnight using various methods. Pay attention to the words here — killed by a human. Why is he so sure that it's a human?" Chen Ge took out the second note. "The new note says that he is preparing to resist, and there is a murder weapon placed next to every body in the house. That should be a hint as well …"
"We don't have time to listen to you. You just need to tell us what to do!" The wooden board above the door was chopped down again, and the chef could come in at any moment.
"The owner will be killed every night, and the killer is himself. That is the cycle that he has fallen into." Chen Ge thought that the futuristic theme park's scenario was not bad, but due to the lack of time, the details were not as good as they should have been.
"Then how are we going to escape? Kill the owner of the house again? " The man with the glasses was about to ask Chen Ge when a scream came from outside the door. It sounded like it came from the chef.
"What is this? Open the door! Open the door! Let me in! "
The chef suddenly pounded on the door with all his might. The door shook violently, and then the chef seemed to fall to the ground. His voice slowly faded away.
"What is the meaning of this?"
The few visitors inside the house looked at each other. The woman with the long black hair made a surreptitious gesture at the police officer. The police officer shook his head, and his expression darkened.
