Chapter 0107 – The Unseen Guest
After setting everything up, Chen Ge brought the ragdoll that his parents had left behind with him and found Dr. Cranium Shatter’s hammer.
”This should be fine.”
Turning off the lights, he plugged in the charger for his cell phone and placed it on the cabinet to record the video, and he himself hid under the bed with the exaggeratedly shaped hammer.
The candle flame danced, the room was bright and dark, and as soon as Chen Ge closed his eyes, his mind would visualize so many horrifying scenes that he couldn’t control it at all.
He was always aware of the movements around him, and his body was bent with his head on the legs of the bed.
This angle was just enough to see the slippers placed in the hallway through the half-open door of the room.
”The slippers are still in place, no one touched the white rice around them, and it’s not clear why the black cell phone asked me to prepare these things.”
The candle burned shorter and shorter, and Chen Ge’s eyelids slowly became heavy.
Night spread in the House of Horrors, and Chen Ge, who hadn’t rested properly for several consecutive days, persisted under the bed for some time before unknowingly entering dreamland.
……
His calves were a little cold, Chen Ge opened his eyes in a daze, the candles went out, and the house was dark and very quiet.
”What time is it?”
Chen Ge wanted to look at the watch, but suddenly realized that his body couldn’t move at all.
”Ghost pressure on the bed?” Eyes wide open, Chen Ge didn’t put up too much of a fight, but instead adjusted the rhythm of his breathing; the respiratory system was affected by the heart, lungs, and other internal organs, and it wouldn’t be paralyzed like the muscles of the body.
After doing this, he began to try bending his fingers and focusing his own intention on one point.
He didn’t look in any other direction during the whole process, at this time, even if he saw something very scary, his body wouldn’t be able to respond to it, it would only exacerbate his own fear and make him lose his composure.
About two to three minutes later, Chen Ge’s pinky was able to bend slightly, which was an excellent start.
He was thinking of getting rid of the ghostly pressure on his bed in one go, but as his eyes swept over the slippers in the corridor, a question appeared in his mind.
”When I placed the slippers just now, which direction did I place the tips of the shoes?”
When a normal person walked facing the corridor, the slippers should have the tips facing the outside of the house, but the image Chen Ge saw now was a pair of slippers with the tips aimed at his bedroom.
”Did I misplace them?” A very bad feeling arose in his heart, and he grabbed his fingers to move them.
The candles in the house had long since been extinguished, and there was a rustling sound in the darkness, as the white rice sprinkled in several rooms of the haunted house seemed to have been rattled.
Eyes fixed on the slippers in the corridor, just as Chen Ge watched, one of the slippers took a step forward.
A very stiff step, as if it was walking for the first time.
”It’s moving!”
The world was not as good as it should be, and the more anxious Chen Ge was, the worse the situation developed.
After the first step was taken, the pair of slippers that were placed on the corridor suddenly took a few steps forward, as if someone had put them on.
”A guest is coming? Why can’t I see it?”
While Chen Ge was pondering, the pair of slippers had already walked to the door of the monitoring room, it suddenly stopped, then the door of the monitoring room inexplicably opened by itself, and after a while it closed again.
The doors and windows of the horror house were tightly closed, there was no way it could have been blown by the wind.
”What is it looking for?”
In the middle of the dark corridor, a pair of slippers walked back and forth, and soon it stopped at the door of the dressing room again.
The door to the room opened, and from Chen Ge’s angle, he could just see that the black cloth on the mirror in the dressing room was lifted, and the mask, which was made up of different faces sewn together, floated up and shook a few times in front of the mirror.
The scene looked a little panicky to Chen Ge, and he grabbed his fingers to move them. But what he didn’t expect was that the swaying human skin mask suddenly stilled in front of the mirror, and the mask’s empty eyes seemed to be facing Chen Ge under the bed where he was hiding.
”Discovered!”
The mask fell to the ground, the door to the dressing room was closed, and the pair of slippers paused at the doorway for a moment before the toes of the shoes were aimed at Chen Ge and quickly walked towards the staff lounge!
Hiding under the bed, her body unable to move, Chen Ge watched the pair of slippers approach, but was unable to escape.
The door to the staff lounge was pushed open, and the pair of slippers stopped beside the bed.
Chen Ge closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, he could feel a cold wind blowing in his face and could hear shallow breathing in his ears. It was as if there was a face that was pressing against his side.
”That monster is checking if I’m asleep.” Chen Ge didn’t dare to open his eyes, he was worried that if he saw something scary, he wouldn’t be able to control his emotions.
At this time, he was being ghosted and his body couldn’t move, playing dead to muddle through was the best way.
After a few minutes, the cold breathing sound disappeared, Chen Ge opened his eyes a thin slit.
There was nothing in front of him, turning his eyes, the pair of slippers were placed by the bed, but the direction of the tip of the shoe was different from just now, it was placed with its back to the bed.
”It ran to my bed?” Chen Ge really shuddered a little when he thought about it, whenever he was asleep, there would be such an unknown thing hanging around the house, if the other party really harbored malicious intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The slippers were placed beside the bed and hadn’t moved for a very long time, the monster should be lying on the bed at this time, Chen Ge felt that his chance had come.
He focused all his attention on his only finger that could move, his pupils danced, desperately trying to control more fingers.
Whether the nightmare quest could be completed or not was secondary, this feeling of his body being out of control and unable to resist made him very uncomfortable.
After completing so many haunted house quests, Chen Ge’s will was far beyond that of an ordinary person, and it wasn’t long before all of his other four fingers could move. The palm of his hand clenched its fist with force, his veins tensed up, and his arm slowly regained control, and with his overpowering will, he hardy slowly detached himself from the state of ghostly pressure on the bed.
”Almost, almost.” The muscles on his arms tensed up, Chen Ge felt that he would be able to wake up soon, his breathing became smooth, and his neck was able to turn in small increments.
Now, as long as his legs could recover, he would be able to completely control his body, and when the time came, with Dr. Cranium Crusher’s hammer in his hand, he wouldn’t be too passive.
With no feeling at all in the lower half of his body, he tried twisting his body and flipping it to the side.
The sound of his heartbeat was clear to his ears, and with all his strength, his body finally flipped sideways to the side under the bed near the wall. It was as if he had leapt down from a high place while dreaming, instantly breaking free from some kind of bondage.
Chen Ge regained control of his body, but the moment he looked behind him, the hairs on his body stood up.
Behind himself, there was a girl lying.
”That monster didn’t go to bed at all! It was behind me the whole time!”
In a cold sweat, Chen Ge subconsciously went to grab the hammer next to him, and the girl lying behind herself seemed to have just realized that Chen Ge had awakened from his sleep.
She reacted a beat slower, tilted her head and locked eyes with Chen Ge, then turned into a shadow with a face full of panic and ran towards the outside of the house.
Chen Ge grabbed the hammer and followed behind, and when he saw the girl’s face, he inexplicably felt some familiarity.
