Standing before the door, Chen Ge perked up his ears to listen. The woman's voice was very strange. She sounded like she was singing a song that had been lost in Jiujiang.
Separated by a wall full of talisman papers, just by hearing the woman's voice, when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see green bricks, green tiles, and colorful curtains. It was as if he had returned to the past. He took a deep breath, and his lungs were filled with the fragrance of cosmetics with hidden bitterness.
"It's surprisingly beautiful. This Red Specter is quite unique." Chen Ge perked up. "My Haunted House still doesn't have a worker who knows how to sing ancient songs. If she's willing, I can help her."
The woman's voice was mesmerizing. She was singing in a dialect, and Chen Ge could only understand a small part of it. He had no idea whether she was singing about herself or her own character.
"Which room will you choose? The hidden room covered in talismans is the most dangerous. Will you come here? " Chen Ge's fists tightened. At that moment, he heard the door open. The door to the bedroom outside the hidden room was opened!
When the door opened, the long-haired woman who sat alone in the bedroom outside the hidden room screamed.
"Xu Yin!"
Chen Ge pulled open the hidden room's door, and he saw a thin woman in a red costume standing at the door.
Her fingers pressed against the door, and there was an unresolvable hatred in her red eyes. Her body leaned against the wall, and the skin that was exposed outside the costume was covered in wounds.
"Be careful!" Chen Ge yelled at the woman with the long black hair. He grabbed the woman's arm and used his back to block her.
While he helped her block the danger, he also blocked her sight.
Before she recovered from the shock, Xu Yin walked out from the hidden room that was covered in talismans and charged at the Red Specter who was wearing the stage costume at the door.
"The red high heels are guarding the altar, and Xu Yin is chasing after us. Where do you think you're going?" Chen Ge used the corner of his eyes to look behind him. After Xu Yin and the Red Specter left, he stood up.
He was about to walk out when his shirt was suddenly grabbed.
"Don't … don't go over there. The woman in the costume is not an employee!" It took the woman a lot of effort to say a complete sentence. Her messy long hair stuck to her face. This woman who had always disliked Chen Ge had now changed her opinion of Chen Ge.
When danger struck just now, this man had recklessly stood in front of him.
Putting aside business competition, there was no flaw in this person's morals.
"How do you know she's not an employee?"
"I …"
"Don't worry, perhaps she's just a projection. After all, this place is made from the combination of forty hellish scenarios. Any kind of weird projection would make sense." Chen Ge ran out of the bedroom like he did not notice the change in the woman's tone.
The other visitors who heard the commotion all came out, but the Red Specter had already disappeared from the corridor.
"Where have they gone?" Chen Ge was not worried about the safety of Xu Yin and the red high heels. With the two of them together, they could hold off a Top Red Specter for a long time. "Now I can confirm that there is a Red Specter inside the Haunted House, but she is in a very strange state. She's very different from the Red Specters I've encountered before."
What was different about her, Chen Ge could not tell. All he could do now was try his best to control the Red Specter.
"The ghost is indeed hiding inside the altar!" the police officer screamed to attract everyone's attention. "The altar's door has been opened! The pair of red high heels has disappeared! "
With the help of the police, a beautiful misunderstanding was formed. All the visitors thought that the red high heels was the ghost inside this cursed scenario. They did not expect there to be another possibility.
"Look here! The exit! " Xiao Ling pointed at the back of the altar. The place was originally sealed by wooden boards, but when the ghost appeared, the wooden boards had been moved away.
The cold wind buffeted the group, and a dark path appeared behind the altar.
"There is no door inside the Cursed House, so the hidden exit should be behind the altar." The youngest man scratched his chin and tugged at the few strands of his beard. "We didn't solve the puzzle, but the exit appeared on its own. Could this be a trap?"
"When I visited this place last time, the exit was here as well, but this time, I've tried it. The wooden boards behind the altar cannot be opened. It seems to be because some conditions have not been met." The police officer was afraid that the group would not believe him, so he was the first to run to the altar. "Look, these few wooden boards have a pattern on them, and they correspond to the hint on the scroll. If we arrange them in a certain order, we can rearrange these wooden boards, and then we can open this hidden door. But I've tried it before, and even if the arrangement is correct, it still cannot open! "
"If you know the way to leave, why didn't you share it with us?" Chen Ge stared at the police officer. He realized that these people were still not being honest. They kept playing tricks. "Looks like you're still not desperate enough, but that's fine."
When everyone realized that this was not a game but a matter of life and death, they would listen to Chen Ge and become Chen Ge's help.
If Chen Ge did not come, they would have to face the risk of death while working in a scenario with a Red Specter.
Now that Chen Ge had helped them solve this problem, they had to give something in return.
"Come on, it's good that we've found the exit. Let's enter the next scenario to take a look." Chen Ge carried his backpack and ran into the bedroom. He sneakily shoved the other black and white picture into his pocket. "I'm still missing a wind chime. Oh well, I'll look for it the next time I come."
What Chen Ge wanted was not the items but the lingering spirits on them. He had the comic. With enough time, he could remove the lingering spirits through the comic, and the items would remain.
After obtaining the items, Chen Ge avoided the altar and entered the dark corridor.
"The mystery of this scenario has not been solved, and the exit has been opened for no reason. Is it really okay for us to just enter like this?" The man with the glasses looked at the police officer. Honestly, they did not want to explore any further.
"It's good that we've found the exit. What? Are you afraid? "Chen Ge walked ahead alone. As' playmates', the others could only follow him.
Seeing everyone enter the new scenario, Chen Ge revealed a satisfied smile. These visitors could provide him with clues and free labor. They could even help him verify some of his speculations. Most importantly, these visitors were witnesses, and their eyes could help clear Chen Ge of all suspicion.
"Even though Xu Yin and the red high heels are not here, I still have Foul Odor and the headless woman. My personal safety is more than enough."
Outside the cursed house was a dark corridor. There was no light. Using the flashlight from the phone, one could see several wordless tombstones along the corridor like this was a mass grave.
At the end of the corridor was a sign that read 'Volkswagen Hotel'. Pushing open the old door, there was a lot of space inside.
"This is the new scenario?" Chen Ge was the first to enter the scenario, but he stood at the door and did not enter.
After everyone entered, Chen Ge reached his hand into his backpack to flip through the comic. He silently summoned Foul Odor and had him repair the wooden door of the cursed house.
When Foul Odor left, Chen Ge closed the door of the hotel. From then on, all the visitors had no way out.
