Even though this Japanese house only had a few rooms, it felt like a maze. Some of the rooms were connected, and they looked like they were separated by partitions, but in reality, the partitions were wooden doors that could be pushed and pulled.
The layout of the house was very strange. The five bedrooms corresponded to the five internal organs of a human body. Chen Ge even found broken scrolls with scriptures inside each bedroom.
Even though the whole building was Japanese, the scrolls were written in traditional Chinese, and most of them were rare characters. Chen Ge could only recognize Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth from them.
"Five bedrooms, five internal organs, five elements …" The sound of the wind chime echoed in his ears. Chen Ge turned back to look. He had been curious about where the sound of the wind chime came from. This was the second time he had heard this sound.
"Have you realized that this house is very similar to a person lying on the ground?" The police officer's attitude toward Chen Ge was very good. He was like a shadow following behind Chen Ge. Wherever Chen Ge went, he would follow.
"A person?"
"Yes, the room that we entered is the person's head, the rooms on the left and right are the person's arms, the bottom is the person's legs, and the corridor in the middle is the person's body. The altar is at the end of the corridor, and it feels like it is being stepped on. "The police officer's words gave Chen Ge some inspiration.
"If the whole building is a person, then the layout of this building is like a living person suppressing the altar."
"The person has stepped on the god?" A glint flashed across the police officer's eyes, and he turned to shout at Chen Ge. "I get it now! The person has stepped on the god! That is why there is a pair of red high heels inside the altar! "
The first half of the analysis was acceptable, but the second half was completely off track. Chen Ge wanted to remind the police officer, but the police officer was very excited. He shared his discovery loudly with the other visitors.
When the other visitors were in heated discussion, Chen Ge stood quietly in the corridor. "The theme of this room is a curse, and a curse can be a reincarnation. It starts from the first person's malice. To clear this scenario, I have to understand what has happened here.
"I found a camcorder inside the first bedroom. It recorded the incident of seven young people spending the night at the old house. The camcorder did not say what happened to the seven people, but the chance of their survival was basically zero, so there were seven human lives.
"The second bedroom was filled with a large pile of clothes, and all the clothes were covered in mud like they had just been pulled out from a swamp. Compare that to what the owner of the house said in the first cubicle. The owner's parents were killed in a landslide, and the whole family was buried outside. The clothes they were wearing when they died must have been covered in mud. "
"Therefore, the clothes inside the second bedroom probably belonged to the parents, and the reason for their car accident probably has something to do with the altar."
Chen Ge scratched his chin and arranged the clues in his mind. "Based on what the owner said, on the day of her parents' accident, it was raining heavily outside, and the roads in this small mountain village are hard to navigate. Based on the villagers' reaction, natural disasters like landslides are common. The owner is a local resident, so naturally, they would know this, so why did they insist on leaving? "
The answer was self-explanatory. Chen Ge turned back to look at the altar. "They probably opened the altar, and even if they didn't, they must have discovered something very dangerous, and that was why they were forced to leave! But they did not expect that even after leaving the old house, they would still be unable to escape the shadow of death. This should be the power of the curse.
"Then the third bedroom. I found a toppled altar table there, and there was a black and white picture of an old man on the table. The strange thing was, the old man in the picture was taken with his back to the camera, so I couldn't see his face. Other than that, I found many children's toys inside the third bedroom, and they were all hidden under the altar table.
"The items inside the third cubicle reminded me of the story that the man in the camcorder told me. On the day of the old man's burial, Xiao Sun's son opened the altar and then disappeared. If Xiao Sun's son is also dead, then this is another two human lives.
"There is one similarity between all these cases, and that is that all the victims probably opened the altar."
The first three bedrooms contained the deceased's belongings, but starting from the fourth bedroom, the situation inside changed.
"I found traces of fire in the fourth bedroom. The walls of the bedroom were blackened, and everything inside the room was burned. Who burned that room? And why would they burn everything inside the bedroom? "
Unable to figure it out, Chen Ge temporarily skipped the question. "Putting aside the fourth bedroom, the fifth bedroom is also very strange. This room should be a woman's room. There is a mirror on the wall, and the closet is filled with all kinds of beautiful traditional clothes. There are also some make-up boxes. The owner of the room should be a young woman, but why would there be a black and white picture of an old lady on the other side of the room?
"The fifth bedroom gives off a sense of separation, and the strangest thing is, the old lady's black and white picture is facing the room. It feels like she is smiling at the new clothes inside the room.
"The old man's black and white picture in the third bedroom was taken with his back facing the camera, but the old lady's black and white picture was taken with her face facing the camera. Why is that? What happened in this big family? "
As Chen Ge was thinking, the child's voice suddenly appeared again. "A butterfly that has lost its wings will feel pain, but why would they tear off the butterfly's wings?"
The sudden appearance of this ethereal voice gave Chen Ge a fright. "Perhaps they are jealous of the butterfly's beauty. Some ugly people like to destroy things that are prettier than themselves, like that will make them prettier."
"Ugly people? Grandma is not ugly … "the child seemed to be mumbling to himself.
"Grandma? She tore off the butterfly's wings? "
"Yes." The child did not sound happy.
"You must be very lonely here, right? Can I be your friend? "Chen Ge tried to slow down his speech.
"I'm with grandpa. He won't allow me to wander around. He is afraid that grandma will know about my existence, so he has me hide in the room. "There was a trace of innocence in the child's voice. He was like a blank piece of paper.
"In other words, the scariest thing in this house is grandma?" Chen Ge slowly raised his hand. He wanted to confirm something.
A chill came from his fingertips. There was indeed something standing next to him, but it was not a projection!
"Can you bring me to meet your grandpa?" Before Chen Ge could wait for the child to answer, he heard the wind chime again. This was the third time the wind chime had rung.
"Grandma is here. It's time for me to go back." The boy's voice faded. Chen Ge used Yin Yang Vision to look behind him, and he saw a child about four or five running into the third bedroom.
He was about to chase after him when he felt the wooden walls on both sides of the corridor shake. A giant spider larger than an adult crawled out from the room that was covered in talismans.
Screams came from everywhere, and the spider crawled on the walls and ceiling. Her arms were like a human's, and she had a withered human head.
"Is this a projection?" The monster was so realistic that even Chen Ge's scalp went numb. "No wonder this is hellish difficulty. This thing is not only scary, but it can also cause physical discomfort."
The spider seemed to have its eyes on Chen Ge, and it crawled toward Chen Ge.
Seeing this, Chen Ge led the spider to meet up with his teammates.
