Chapter 0106 – The Voice Behind the Door
”The door was opened?”
Chen Ge’s hand stiffened in mid-air, at this moment, the most bizarre thing was that the angle at which the door in the mirror opened was almost the same as the angle at which the door to the cubicle in the restroom opened.
Removing the black cloth, Chen Ge walked over to the toilet cubicle, he twisted his head to look at the mirror and reached out to pull the door of the cubicle completely open.
In reality, there was nothing in the toilet cubicle, but the image reflected in the mirror was completely different, the narrow cubicle was blood red, the walls and floor seemed to be oozing blood outwards, it was as if it was another world.
Chen Ge still didn’t have the courage to enter the cubicle to find out the truth, and he grabbed the door panel, pondering whether or not to remove these things.
After about ten seconds or so, Chen Ge heard a very strange sound, coming from far away, as if a person was crawling against the ground in wet clothes.
”Where is it coming from?” The sound became clearer and clearer, and it got closer and closer to Chen Ge’s position.
He glanced out toward the corridor, then back at the mirror, and finally determined that the sound was coming from the toilet cubicle.
”Something’s coming over?” Now was not the time to be curious, Chen Ge decisively closed the door to the cubicle, and he used the mop against the lock as he turned to look at the mirror.
The voice that seemed to be dragging a corpse entered the cubicle, and soon a blood-red color escaped from the doorway, the other party seemed to be searching for something, and a strong fishy smell permeated the air.
It lingered for a few seconds before the voice faded away again and the stench in the air slowly dissipated.
A minute passed, the door to the compartment in the mirror returned to normal, and the room became much brighter.
With his back against the door of the cubicle, Chen Ge’s palms were sweating, if he hadn’t woken up, that thing crawling on the floor would most likely run out like the monster in the mirror.
”The mirror is covered with a black cloth, and the blood-red door will still appear on time.”
Chen Ge didn’t know anything about the world behind the cubicle door, and he didn’t have a good solution for the time being, so he could only lock the cubicle that had gone wrong first.
After washing his face with cool water, Chen Ge returned to the staff lounge and opened the door before realizing that Xiao Xiao had run off somewhere again.
”Did she specifically run over to remind me just now?” Chen Ge sat on the edge of the bed, unable to sleep for a while, so he took out his black cell phone.
Sliding the screen, Chen Ge tapped on the column of daily tasks.
”Simple Difficulty: a frightening experience should not cause traumatizing psychological shadows to the experiencer, please improve the safety system of the haunted house and inventory the safety hazards among the haunted house.”
”Normal Difficulty: it’s hard to do it alone, a good haunted house needs a good team to run it, recruit more talents and they will help you through the difficult times.”
”Nightmare Difficulty: another person has been living in your room, don’t you want to know who he is?”
”Caution! Individual quests are extremely dangerous, please choose carefully!”
The three daily quests that were refreshed all looked somewhat familiar to Chen Ge, who had seen them many times before.
”Simple missions and normal difficulty missions are all things I should go for at this stage, manpower needs to be expanded, and the security system needs to be improved. But in comparison, it’s the nightmare missions that have a bit more tantalizing rewards.”
Danger and opportunity went hand in hand, and what was more crucial was the fact that he possessed a predictable opportunity once a day after hiring the penny.
In his opinion, it was still more cost-effective to use such a chance on nightmare level daily missions.
Taking out the ballpoint pen wrapped in transparent tape, Chen Ge also felt a little embarrassed, “Ask the Pen Fairy when I have the chance and see if I can give her a different pen to stay with.”
Casually finding a piece of white paper and laying it flat on the table, Chen Ge recited the incantation to call out the Pen Fairy, and after getting a response from the Pen Fairy, he asked the question in his mind.
”Can I safely complete the latest nightmare daily quest in my cell phone?”
After saying that, Chen Ge looked at the white paper in front of him, and his ballpoint pen trembled for half a day without drawing an answer.
”Is this question difficult?” The Pen Fairy’s ability wasn’t as impressive as Chen Ge had imagined, and it seemed that everything related to the black cell phone, she was unable to give an answer.
Chen Ge looked at the ballpoint pen that was about to disintegrate in his hand and hurriedly changed the question, “The one just now doesn’t count, I want to ask you if there’s another person living in this room all the time?”
The ballpoint pen stopped on the paper for half a day and finally wrote down the word “yes”.
”And do you know what it looks like?”
This time the Pen Fairy did not make a reply, and the ballpoint pen in his hand returned to normal.
Chen Ge didn’t mean to blame the Pen Immortal, precognition seemed to produce a certain amount of consumption on the Pen Immortal itself, which should also be the reason why the Pen Immortal could only precognize once a day.
”There is indeed another person living? I can’t believe I didn’t notice it at all, looking at the quest introduction this guy seems to be different from normal ghosts and monsters.” Chen Ge’s haunted house now had many more occupants, and he didn’t mind any more strange and bizarre things appearing, but only if the other person listened to him and couldn’t harm the visitors like the Mirror Ghost.
After thinking it over, Chen Ge chose to accept the nightmare level quest.
”Sure to accept the Nightmare difficulty daily quest? Accepting it may cause unknown situations to appear.”
”OK.”
The screen flashed and a new piece of information surfaced.
”It lives in a room with you and will appear when you fall asleep.”
”If it has good intentions, it will brush away the filth behind you and bless your home with peace.”
”If it has evil thoughts in its heart, it will stand beside your bed when you are asleep, full of malicious thoughts about how to destroy you.”
”The name of the following game is called Unseen Guests: in the early hours of midnight sprinkle soaked white rice around the house, place a pair of worn slippers outside the door, light a stick of white wax on the floor of your bedroom, and make the bed so that it looks as if someone is asleep, and at last you lie down under the bed. The key to the task is that you must actually be asleep, and the task will be considered a success if you see its face.”
”This quest is the third nightmare level daily quest you have accepted, and upon completion of the quest, you will be given a random trial quest with a horror scene.”
”Note: After the three nightmare missions are completed, the nightmare level missions in the daily missions will be changed to randomly refreshed, so please treat every nightmare mission with caution!”
After reading it once, Chen Ge had already memorized the mission information in his mind.
”Why is the key to the quest having to fall asleep? How do I see the other person’s face when I’m asleep? Is it possible to see it in a dream?” Chen Ge didn’t quite understand the meaning of this mission, but since he had already accepted it, he could only follow the mission requirements.
Putting on his jacket, Chen Ge once again visited the paradise cafeteria late at night and “borrowed” half a bowl of white rice.
”The haunted house is so big, it’s too much of a waste to spill it all out.” After soaking it in cold water, Chen Ge scattered the white rice near a few rooms on the first floor of the haunted house, found a pair of slippers and placed them at the entrance of the haunted house corridor, and then he lit a white candle next to his bed.
