Chapter 0368 – The Pen Fairy’s Posthumous Letter
”Fierce Spirit?”
Looking at the pattern of a malevolent ghost behind the door, the first word that came to Chen Ge’s mind was.
”Why did the people from the Weird Tales Association draw a vicious ghost behind the door? What special symbolism does this thing have?”
The haunted house was very quiet, and being stared at by ten eyes on the evil ghost, even if Chen Ge had experienced a lot of things, he still felt a bit uncomfortable at this moment.
”Around the New Century Paradise, there were a total of five murders, and the eyes of the deceased were all gouged out, could the victim’s lost eyes be on this evil ghost?”
Chen Ge slowly squatted his body and gently touched the door panel with his fingertips, the pattern was not painted on the door, it was more like embedded inside the door, touching the surface with his hand didn’t feel anything at all.
”Before going to the Living Coffin Village, Team Yan told me something about the eye gouging case, the deceased were all guilty people, including robbers, thieves, and wanted fugitives on the run.”
”The ones used to perform the ritual were guilty people, and the evil ghost in the door happened to be carrying all kinds of torture implements, which seemed to symbolize punishment, and the strangest thing was that this evil ghost was suddenly drawn inside the door, facing the world behind the door.”
Chen Ge pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out what exactly the purpose of the Weird Tales Association was.
”Wait until twelve o’clock tonight, when the door opens and then come over to take a look.”
Chen Ge closed the door to the room, and to prevent accidents, he picked up all the wooden boards on the floor and nailed them to the cubicle door again.
After taking care of this, Chen Ge picked up the torn ragdoll and took the white cat into the tool room.
Turning on the light and finding a needle and thread, Chen Ge began to mend the ragdoll.
There were very few men who knew how to sew, but Chen Ge was an exception; the haunted house had been in a slump before, and most of the actors’ costumes were made by him.
After having his hands zapped countless times, he, Chen Ge, had finally become a man who was proficient in cutting, sewing, and needlework.
”My parents have treated you better than me since you were little, and it must have been especially heartbreaking for them to see you hurt.”
Chen Ge patiently sewed up the cracks on the back of the muppet, the muppet in his hand was simple, but Chen Ge knew that a beautiful and pure guardian spirit was hiding in it.
Halfway through the mending, Chen Ge suddenly realized that there was a long and thin red nail in the ragdoll’s sleeve, which he couldn’t even notice without a closer look.
”Isn’t this nail something I brought back from the Dean’s office in the Third Ward Building?”
During the trial mission in the third sick building, Chen Ge found a lot of letters in the dean’s cabinet, which hadn’t been touched by outsiders, and all four corners were nailed with this kind of long nail (see Chapter 167 for details).
At that time, Chen Ge thought that the nails had an evil-suppressing effect, so when he went to fetch the skull-crushing hammer later on, he incidentally pulled out all the red nails and brought them back to the haunted house.
”There are blood stains on the front end of the nail, maybe it was left by the murderer, we can get someone to help identify it tomorrow.”
Chen Ge put the nails away and continued to start mending the muppets again.
Time slowly passed, the bored white cat jumped into the ball of thread and played with itself, and in the end, it didn’t know how, its body was entangled in the ball of thread, dragging the small basket where the ball of thread was placed and running all over the house.
Chen Ge didn’t care about it, patched up the wound on the muppet’s back and gently held it up.
There were two particularly obvious wounds on this muppet, a new one and an old one, the new wound was the one left by the Weird Tales Association just now, and there was also an old wound on the neck that was almost on the verge of ripping the muppet’s head off.
Stroking his fingers over the wound on the Muppet’s neck, Chen Ge recalled the events of many years ago.
After the muppets were made, Chen Ge’s parents had always asked him to bring the muppets with him wherever he went.
A boy carrying a muppet around with him always felt strange for people to see, Chen Ge was not happy in his heart, but he didn’t argue with his family over this small matter.
Growing up in a haunted house, Chen Ge was very bold and had a strong curiosity about everything.
His parents hadn’t restrained him either, only strictly forbidding him to go to the eastern suburbs of Jiujiang by himself.
Chen Ge never understood his parents’ approach, until one time the school organized a field trip, and the whole class went to play near the reservoir in the eastern suburb of Jiujiang.
At first, there was nothing unusual, about three or four o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Ge saw someone waving at him, the person gave him a very familiar feeling, as if he also called out his name.
Chen Ge told his teacher about this, and accompanied by his teacher, he walked toward the path.
He vaguely saw a red house at the end of the path, and there were many children playing strange games around the house, and then he didn’t remember anything further, he only knew that he and his teacher fainted by the side of the road, and woke up with the bruised Muppet in his arms.
”You should have been the one who saved me at that time.” Chen Ge touched the wound on Ragdoll’s neck, he hadn’t realized many things until today, “In the past, it was you who guarded me, in the future, I’ll protect you.”
Putting the ragdoll in his pocket, Chen Ge took out his skull crushing hammer and went around to all the scenes.
The tiny family was among the Midnight Escape scene without damage, lifting the wooden board, Chen Ge entered the underground Twilight Sun Middle School scene again.
Twenty-four dolls honestly stayed in the last classroom, none of them ran out, pretending to be just like real doll models.
Continuing on, entering the girls’ dormitory, the pen fairy wrapped in transparent tape did bring Chen Ge a surprise.
Written on the white paper was a sentence: the murderer was carrying a corpse on his back, and he called that corpse his wife! Help me take care of Wang Xin and avenge me!
Chen Ge looked at the “suicide note” left by the Pen Fairy was also stunned: “You are sentimental, at the moment of life and death, but also do not forget their good friend ……”.
After checking the ballpoint pen and realizing that the pen fairy was intact, Chen Ge put down his heart.
He possessed a stern ghost that could write its own suicide note, which was something that I guess the president of the Weird Tales Association hadn’t even thought of.
”The murderer is carrying a corpse on his back, we can be sure that the person who came to my haunted house today is number ten, and he called the corpse on his back his wife, which is a very important clue.”
After checking all the scenes, probably because of time constraints, the president of the Weird Tales Association didn’t destroy the haunted house, his main purpose was still the door of the bathroom on the first floor.
The haunted house was not tampered with, Chen Ge was relieved, he returned to the first floor bathroom fully armed and silently waited for time to pass.
The door in the haunted house was a treasure for the Weird Tales Association to fight over, but it was of little use to Chen Ge, who knew too little about “doors” and was somewhat resistant to them because of the unknown.
He stayed at the door of the cubicle until 11:59 p.m. The white cat was suddenly playing with the door.
The white cat that was originally playing around suddenly ran into the bathroom, baring its teeth at the door, and Chen Ge also sensed something unusual.
When the door was about to open, all the ghosts and monsters in the entire house of horrors seemed to react.
Gripping the skull crushing hammer tightly, Chen Ge pressed the repeater switch, ready to summon Xu Yin to help.
The second hand was turning, and when all the hands overlapped, the evil ghost patterns that were originally painted inside the door surfaced on the door panel, and the ten eyes all came to life, looking not like paintings at all, but real, rotating eyes.
As time passed, thin threads of blood began to appear on the door, and the monster’s expression became even more hideous.
The blood filaments spread across the monster’s body, and with each eye that passed by, that eye became blood red, until the tenth eye when the accident occurred.
No matter how the blood filaments were twisted, they were unable to color the last eyeball red.
Chen Ge slowly approached, and only after getting closer did he realize that this last eyeball seemed to have been poked out with something sharp.
