"The old lady has been raising the four children for so many years, and nothing has happened. Once Xiao Sun's son opened the altar, the whole family was destroyed. Everything that happened in the old house was related to the altar. Once the altar is opened, the people present will be met with misfortune, and no one will be able to escape. " Chen Ge turned to the police officer. "When you played the medium difficulty last time, you're sure you didn't open the altar, right?"
"No." The police officer shook his head.
"Looks like opening the altar is unique to the hellish difficulty." Chen Ge called Xiao Ling and the police officer to his side. "This scenario is very unique. There are at least four ghosts inside — the kind and innocent Xiao Sun's son, the grandfather who wants to protect his grandson, the extremely jealous grandmother, and the scariest maid. The grandmother is sealed inside a room filled with talismans behind the cupboard, the maid is inside the altar, and the grandfather and grandson are inside this picture. These old objects are all cursed. Once you touch them, you'll be cursed as well. "
Chen Ge placed the old man's black and white picture inside his backpack. "It should be fine if I don't touch it with my hands."
"I don't think there's any movement outside. How about we go out to take a look?" The police officer was already afraid, and after hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, he panicked even more.
"You should think of a way to clear the scenario first, and then you can go out." Chen Ge arranged his thoughts. "This scenario has a curse as its theme. The first curse came from the maid, and the second curse came from the grandmother. She had an extreme personality, and her heart was filled with hatred and jealousy toward the maid. After her death, her curse was added to this house. Then, the innocent people who opened the altar were filled with grievances, and this grievance was slowly twisted into a curse. In any case, everyone in this scenario has left behind a curse and hatred, forming a situation that cannot be solved. "
"Then, what should we do?"
"Either we solve the curse from the root, or we become part of the curse."
"I don't quite understand what you mean." The police officer had no idea what Chen Ge was up to.
"The reason why the curse continues is because of hatred. I'm already so miserable, so others must be as miserable as me, or even more miserable than me. However, if someone bears the curse and does not spread malice, but instead gives warmth and light to the people around him, then can we say that the curse has ended on him? "Chen Ge's words confused the police officer and Xiaoling.
"What do you mean?"
"As long as each and every one of us can stay true to ourselves and not be disturbed by the curse, there should be a turn for the better." Chen Ge took out the scroll that he had found in the bedroom. It had the words Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth written on it. "Five bedrooms. Including the secret room and the main hall, this scenario has a total of seven rooms, corresponding to seven people. Previously, the police had said that the layout of the room was like a person stepping on a shrine. I wondered, if each of us was alone in a room, wouldn't each room be filled with people? The whole scene is like a person coming to life, suppressing the shrine? "
The police officer and Xiaoling felt like Chen Ge was spouting nonsense, but there was some truth to it.
"It's not scary when the visitors are gathered together; the real scary thing is when they are separated. The designers will understand this. When the central computer increases the difficulty of the scenario, they will do the same. We should follow their train of thought. Even though it's dangerous, it might be the solution. " Chen Ge raised the scroll in his hand. "The scroll should be able to protect us, but that is the cleverness of the scenario. There are only five scrolls here, and the visitors will definitely be divided."
"Putting the scroll aside, based on what you said, someone has to stay in the secret room alone. Isn't that too unfair for that person?"
"It's not just unfair; it's cruel." Chen Ge smiled. "Therefore, I have a suggestion. The person who enters the secret room can take one more scroll."
"I can't make the decision. Let's discuss this together." The police officer pushed the door open a gap, and the big spider in the corridor had already disappeared.
"Hurry up, everyone, come out now!" Chen Ge yelled. "The key to this scenario is the wind chime. Whenever the wind chime rings, the scenario will change. When the spider appeared, it was already the third time. The next time the wind chime rings, the ghost inside the shrine might come out. "
Chen Ge and the police officer told everyone the solution. Even though the group thought it was ridiculous, there was no better solution.
If they stayed there and did nothing, the situation would only get worse.
"We agree with you, but who is going to go to the room with the talismans?" The man with the glasses was fearless when he was with the group, but when he was alone, he was afraid. "If you're willing to go, we …"
"I'll be responsible for the most dangerous room." Chen Ge took out the two scrolls. "I'm here to clear the scenario. Just don't drag me down."
"You still want to clear the scenario?" The man with the glasses shook his head. He felt like Chen Ge was dreaming. "It's fine if you're responsible for the secret room, but you can't take away the two scrolls. There aren't many scrolls to begin with, and if you take away two, what about the rest of us?"
"Okay, I'll only take one." Chen Ge placed the scroll on the ground. Throughout the process, none of the 'visitors' spoke up for him.
The group soon split up. The police officer was responsible for the living room, and the woman with the long black hair was responsible for the bedroom next to the secret room.
After everyone entered their respective rooms, the strange sound of the wind chime appeared again.
"Xu Yin."
Chen Ge stood in the middle of the room covered in talismans. The first thing he did was communicate with Xu Yin, but he did not have Xu Yin show himself immediately. He was waiting for a chance.
"A Red Specter can leave the item of possession freely, so where will the maid hide?" Chen Ge had a smile on his face as if he was talking to himself. "Opening the altar has violated the taboo. Now, I've helped you separate all the people who have violated the taboo. Can you hold yourself back?"
When he entered the secret room for the first time, Chen Ge had noticed that there were no cameras installed in the room, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Actually, when he found out that the Specter inside the altar could rival the red high heels, he had made up his mind to find her.
A normal Specter and a Red Specter were two different concepts. Even if he could not bring it back to the Haunted House, consuming it would greatly increase the power of Xu Yin and the headless woman.
The spider's projection moved past Chen Ge and crawled out from the closet. Screams came from outside the secret room.
Moments later, the scenario returned to normal. Just as the group recovered from the shock brought by the spider, a faded scent of blood permeated the air.
"She's here!"
Chen Ge held the closet door, and he heard a woman's sad singing coming from the corridor.
