Chapter 0337 – They’re All Here Except Me
Jiang Ling held Fan Yu’s hand and entered the world behind the door, Chen Ge didn’t have any other choice right now, compared to the red dress with a face full of blood, it felt safer to be behind the blood door.
The air became sticky, the smell of blood lingered on the tip of his nose, and his vision was blocked as if he was in the middle of a fog.
”It’s not quite the same as the world behind that door in the third sick building.”
This was the second time Chen Ge had entered the middle of a blood door, the world behind the door of the Living Coffin Village was filled with blood fog, and visibility was only two or three meters away.
”Don’t get lost, there are guys who can eat people hidden inside this fog.” Jiang Ling had completely torn off her disguise, but her childish voice carried an unquestionable strength.
”Got it.” Chen Ge’s gaze was odd: “It’s really hard to imagine that a little guy who can’t even hit my shoulder when he jumps up is a top-notch red-clothed stern ghost.”
”Although you saved me, please watch what you say, otherwise I can only wait until you’re dead to repay you.” Jiang Ling coldly glanced at Chen Ge, and after she entered the door, her outer clothing began to change, and the blood filaments in the fog continued to wrap around her body, as if she was the owner of this place.
Chen Ge’s eyelids fluttered gently, feeling that it sounded somewhat familiar, and he remembered Zhang Ya’s love letter.
When Chen Ge entered, Jiang Ling closed the door, and when she opened it again, the scene outside the door had completely changed.
In front of her eyes was a blood-red village, and a fog covered the sky and shrouded everything.
”That red one will soon come after us, this door won’t delay too much time.”
When the blood fog floated to Jiang Zhong’s side, it would directly integrate into her body, but probably because she was too severely injured, she wasn’t able to actively absorb the fog.
Under Jiang Zhong’s leadership, the three of them walked towards the side of the village, and the closed blood door behind them trembled gently, with hissing sounds constantly coming out from the other side of the door.
”Where are you taking us?” The blood mist had no effect on Jiang Ling, but it made Chen Ge and Fan Yu feel very uncomfortable, and the two of them felt as if they were stuck in the middle of a quagmire.
”Be quiet.” Jiang Ling signaled the two to hide in the hut next to her first, and after waiting for a few seconds, a deformed monster stepped out from among the fog in front of them.
Its body was tall, its arms were deformed, and its features were crooked and hideous, it wore a rough coat and looked around as if it was searching for something.
As the fog filled the air, the monster walked past Jiang Ling and the others and quickly disappeared.
”What’s that?” Chen Ge pointed in the direction the monster left.
”Villagers.” The resentment in Jiang Ling’s eyes couldn’t be concealed at all, “They are what the villagers in my mind look like.”
”The look of the villagers in your mind? This blood-red world was constructed based on your perception?” Chen Ge was attached to all information related to doors.
”I don’t know how this world appeared, I only know that this world is very similar to a nightmare I once had. In my nightmare, all the villagers were monsters like him, monstrous and ugly, and were always looking for me, wanting to take me back.” Riverbell didn’t continue on as she changed directions and headed deeper into the village.
Behind the door was a blood-red world, but Chen Ge hadn’t been able to figure out until now whether this world was a connected whole or a separate individual.
According to the scout who had jumped from the building, there was a door in everyone’s heart, and it was only possible to push the door open when the mind was completely broken and at its most desperate.
The door of the third sick building is pushed open by Men Nan, and the world behind the door is the world Men Nan remembers, one by one, because of the injection of sedative drugs, as if the walking dead patients, twisted and strange doctors, as well as fear produced by the severed hand and so on.
The world behind the door of the Living Coffin Village was shrouded in blood mist and filled with villagers with deformed bodies trying to capture her, which fit the female ghost’s impression of the village in her lifetime.
”Could the world behind the door be a reflection of the human heart? Is it a real-life nightmare?”
Chen Ge thought of the door in his own haunted house again, “But why is there a door in my haunted house? Who left that door behind?”
The blood mist spread, and the sound of hissing and fighting came from behind them, it should be the red coats of the Weird Tales Association and the villagers of the world behind the door fighting.
”Let them fight, let’s go get an item.”
Passing through the blood mist, Jiang Ling led Chen Ge and Fan Yu to the center of the village.
Here, the fog became thin, and there was a patch of villagers kneeling in the open space in the center.
They had deformed bodies and ugly faces, and even if they were wearing clothes, they could hardly be called human.
”What are they doing?”
”Penance.”
These monsters hung their heads low, their bodies aimed at the shrine, while a red coffin was erected in the middle of the shrine and the village!
Unlike in reality, the coffin in the world behind the door was blocking the entrance to the shrine right in front of it.
The ancestral hall was the place in the village where the ancestors were worshipped, but this coffin was standing right in the middle without any sense of reason.
”As long as we open that coffin, we’ll be fine tonight.” Jiang Ling circled around to the side and slowly approached the ancestral hall, “Don’t ever startle these monsters.”
The three living people held their breath and moved their feet, a little closer to the shrine.
The fog surged, and as if they had sensed the breath of the living, some of the monsters’ lowered heads shook gently.
Fan Yu and Jiang Ling walked in front, Chen Ge broke the back, he looked at the monsters kneeling on the ground and felt a little} human.
Red paper money was scattered around, the monsters looked as if they were attending a funeral, they were forced to bow their heads and put on sad expressions, trying to squeeze out a few tears.
”Wailing? A funeral?” Ever since Chen Ge had entered the Living Coffin Village, he had noticed that there were many things related to white affairs in this village, including the white lanterns, paper money, and coffins hanging on the streets.
”Regardless of whether it’s in reality or in the world behind the door, this village seems to be holding a funeral, a funeral that continues to this day and still can’t end.”
Chen Ge touched his black cell phone and glanced at it, “I’ve already entered the world behind the door, but my cell phone didn’t prompt me to fail the mission, it seems that among the black cell phone’s judgment, regardless of whether it’s inside or outside the door, as long as it doesn’t leave the village.”
He flipped through and found the mission information, the three words Living Coffin Village was what he saw from the black cell phone, at first he just thought the name was strange and didn’t think much about it.
But now after combining all the things he encountered in the village, Chen Ge vaguely had some guesses, “Living Coffin?”
Sliding the screen and flipping to the mission tip there, Chen Ge looked at the message on his phone.
”On that day, except for me, they all came.”
The prompt message for this trial quest was very short, Chen Ge slowly narrowed his eyes, and he hadn’t understood the meaning of the sentence until now.
”Those people came to attend ‘my’ funeral, they came to mourn for ‘me’, that’s why there was a situation where they all came except for me. This hint message is trying to tell me that the key to breaking the game is related to the funeral.”
Chen Ge looked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall, and at this time, Jiang Ling had already quietly run to the side of the red coffin.
