Chapter 0036 – Thrilling
Only after ten seconds or so did Feng slow down, he breathlessly pointed at the bathroom, “Mirror ……”
Two simple words but seemed to possess a unique magic, Chen Ge’s face changed slightly, dragging Feng to the bed and entering the bathroom himself.
The mirror on the wall had already been smashed, and glass shards were scattered everywhere.
Previously, after Heshan fainted, Chen Ge used a black cloth to cover all the mirrors in the haunted house, and then the wind calmed down for a while. Now that the new scene was open, he had a momentary lapse of attention, and as a result, such a mess had occurred.
For any entertainment facility, once it was labeled as having safety hazards, it would become difficult to continue operating, which Chen Ge knew very well.
He picked up one of the lenses on the ground and looked at himself in the shards, “We have to get rid of this thing as soon as possible!”
Chess was divided into black and white, there was good and evil in people, and the same was true for ghosts and monsters.
The thing in the mirror carried obvious malice towards the living, which Chen Ge could sense, it was extremely aggressive and harbored ulterior motives.
Heshan’s fainting and Feng’s shattering of the mirror in fear were two unexpected “accidents” that sounded an alarm for Chen Ge, giving him a sense of urgency.
Covering the mirrors with black cloth is not a long-term solution, and the contents of the mirrors have become an obstacle to the rapid development of the haunted house.
With the mirror smashed and nothing suspicious left in the bathroom, Chen Ge walked out after turning around.
He grabbed the hammer in his hand and sat next to Brother Feng: “Can you tell me what just happened?”
After resting for a few minutes, Peak’s breathing finally smoothed out, but his face was still frighteningly pale, “I can’t quite say.”
”It’s fine, just say whatever comes to mind.” Chen Ge watched Brother Feng, unlike Heshan who was directly stunned, this one’s mental capacity was obviously much stronger, at least he dared to resist.
Brother Feng tried to sit up from the bed, his face looked much better, but the fear in his eyes did not decrease by half, “I was being chased by your staff, and in a hurry, I hid in this room, and I was fine at the beginning, but then I vaguely heard someone calling out to me.”
”Did it call your name?”
”No, but I could feel that it was calling me.” Peak scratched his hair, “The voice was in this room, and it took me a long time to find it before I could pinpoint the source.”
As he said this, the fear in his eyes became stronger, “The voice was coming from the mirror in the bathroom, it was like I could hear it, but I couldn’t hear it clearly. I didn’t know what it was saying, only that it had something to do with me.”
”And then?” Every word Feng said Chen Ge kept in mind, this valuable experience could help him understand the monster in the mirror on a deeper level.
”Later on, I stood in front of the mirror, trying to figure out what exactly is the principle of this? I tried to remove the mirror, but when I touched it, the sound that was ringing in my ears got louder all of a sudden, and my mind started to go a little bit off, and the more I looked at myself in the mirror, the more it didn’t look like me.” Peak spoke to the key place, he swept the bathroom with palpitations, as if there was some kind of monster hidden there, which might jump out at any time: “I stood in front of the mirror by myself, and the person reflected in the mirror was unexpectedly not me, normally I would definitely feel scared and want to stay away, but the thing that most made me feel scared when I think about it now happened. ”
”What is it?”
Peak said very seriously, “At that time I didn’t feel any fear or trepidation, everything seemed to be more than normal, my body began to tilt towards the mirror, my face was almost sticking to the mirror, and I could clearly see that the face in the mirror was also moving closer to me, obviously it was the exact same look, it made me feel very strange, I couldn’t tell where it was wrong, but I couldn’t tell what was wrong, but I always felt that the face in the mirror didn’t belong to me. Thoughts were getting more and more confused, my brain didn’t give any commands, but my hand pressed directly on the mirror, and I felt like I wanted to burrow into the mirror, and it wasn’t right, it seemed like I was imprisoned in the mirror and trying hard to get out.”
When doing the nightmare level daily quest, Chen Ge had a similar encounter, looking back at the cell phone video, his body was then slowly tilting towards the mirror, “Then how did you get out of it afterwards?”
”Still because of the mirror.” Feng gave Chen Ge an unexpected answer, “I had no idea what I was doing at that time, and when my face was about to stick to the mirror, I suddenly looked through the mirror and saw a Muppet lying behind me.”
”A Muppet?”
”Yes, the same muppet I’ve seen in other rooms in the building, palm-sized and with a beard sewn on.” Peak nodded and gestured with both hands, “There was suddenly an extra Muppet behind me, I started to get scared in my heart, fear seemed to burn like fire, there was just one thought in my mind at that moment – hurry up and leave, but my body didn’t listen to me, my will and my body started to wrestle, and it felt like a ghost pressing on my bed .”
Feng spoke plainly, but Chen Ge could hear the menace.
”Further on I suddenly heard the shouts of Crane Mountain on the second floor, and all of a sudden I came to my senses, as if I had woken up from a dream.” The fear in his eyes dissipated quite a bit, “I was really scared to the extreme, so I copied the chair and smashed the lens with my hand, at that time it was definitely out of instinctive reaction. This house of horrors of yours is so scary that I forgot I was visiting a haunted house.”
Speaking of this, Peak seemed to suddenly remember something, he waved his hand towards Chen Ge: “I’m telling you all of this is true, there’s absolutely no intention to deliberately exaggerate or shirk my responsibility, I’ll compensate for the mirror at the original price.”
”You don’t need to compensate for the mirror, the fact that you weren’t injured is the best result for me.” Chen Ge stood up and paced around the room, “Where is the muppet you saw now?”
Feng was a bit hesitant, “It seems like I kicked it under the bed, that’s one of your props too, right? Sorry.”
Lifting the bed sheet, Chen Ge took out the ragdoll with footprints on it and helped it beat off the dust, “You should thank this ragdoll, it was him who saved you just now.”
”Muppet saved me? Well …… thanks a lot, can I go now?” Feng shrank back, his face grew pale, he felt that this haunted house owner in front of him wasn’t too normal, but people had to bow their heads under the roof, so he said thank you very reluctantly.
”If I tell you that everything you just experienced was not haunted house props and special effects, but was real, would you believe it?” Wearing a blood-stained doctor’s uniform and holding a worn-out rag doll in his arms, Chen Ge cocked his head and sized up the college student in front of him.
Poor Peak, who was close to one meter nine, was now cowering in the corner of the bed holding his legs like a little girl, with a helpless look on his face, “Then do you think I should say I believe it? Or should I say I don’t believe?”
