Chapter 0662 – The Door That Can’t Be Closed
On the other side of the haunted house, now that some tourists had figured out the strategy for clearing the three-star scene, Chen Ge needed a brand new scene to maintain the heat of the haunted house and give them a sense of anticipation.
The three and a half star difficulty Liwan Town was the best choice for him, as the excess of the three star scene and the four star scene, this special scene could give the tourists a period of adaptation, avoiding some tourists who had just cleared the three star scene, and their heads were hot to go directly to challenge the four star scene.
”Are you okay? Need help?” Scissors’ voice came from the doorway, and as he opened his mouth to speak, the voice of the tattooed man next to him could also be heard.
”Keep your voice down! You can’t dare to shout in this place, be careful of inviting anything out!”
Hearing the voice outside the bedroom, Chen Ge returned, “No danger has been found in the house for now, you guys can come in.”
Picking up her high heels, Chen Ge walked out of the bedroom.
Dragging a skull crushing hammer with one hand, holding his high heels with the other, and squatting a white cat on his shoulder, Chen Ge’s appearance at this moment was somewhat otherworldly, making it difficult to treat him as an ordinary person.
”Have you found anything yet?” The tattooed man came over, he followed Chen Ge simply because Chen Ge was very strong, and following Chen Ge had the greatest possibility of escaping, his purpose was very pure.
”The door was hidden, there should be secret rooms in this room.” Chen Ge walked to the living room closet and pushed it open with force.
Blood mist that had almost materialized into substance surged out from it like a wave, even pushing Chen Ge back half a step.
”The source of the fog is right here, all be careful.”
The blood mist was sticky and it felt uncomfortable to walk in it, the clothes clung to the body, and those blood threads seemed to be constantly drilling into the nose and ears.
”Are you sure you want to go down there?” The drunken man’s throat trembled, “Why do I feel like we’re asking for death.”
He shook his head and took a step back with the doctor on his back.
”No one knows what’s inside, later on, we’ll elect half of us to guard the outside for warning, the other half will follow me down, this is the safest way.” Chen Ge saw that everyone had come over, and he spoke out his thoughts.
”The strength of those who stay outside can’t be too weak, at least they should be able to give an early warning in case of an attack, I suggest that the scissors and the police stay behind.” Chen Ge had his own considerations, the one he trusted the most out of everyone was Scissors, “One is a ferocious psychopathic murderer, and the other is a police officer with a matching gun, with the two of them guarding outside, there shouldn’t be too many problems.”
”Can I guard outside too!” The drunkard will raise his own hand, “I’m carrying the doctor on my back, I can’t run fast, if I go down with you guys, I might die in one body.”
”One body and two lives can still be used like this?” The tattooed man skimmed his mouth, he actually didn’t want to go down, but couldn’t find a suitable reason.
”Alright, you two stay as well, and the rest of you come with me.” Chen Ge finished looking at the smiling man, in fact, this man was the one with the strongest strength, but leaving the back road to be guarded by a stranger, Chen Ge was uneasy.
Out of Chen Ge’s expectation, the smiling man didn’t say anything, he walked next to the door of the room and acted unusually honest.
”What has this guy been stimulated by? How come it’s completely different from in the car?” Chen Ge used his Yin pupil and after a closer look, he realized that the expression on the smiling man’s face was very stiff, and there were blood-red beads of sweat sliding down from his temples; he seemed to have seen some kind of ghosts and monsters that were beyond his foreknowledge in Liwan Town, and so he desperately wanted to leave.
Chen Ge did not ask in detail, the smiling man had a free interest relationship with him, both sides cooperated because they had the same goal, if there was a disagreement, both sides would not hesitate to sell each other out.
”This is the criminal I guard, I have to guard him at all times, so I’m sorry, he can’t go down with you guys either.” Li Zheng pressed Jiaming’s shoulder, his tone very firm.
”Dangerous criminals are everywhere here, but righteous police officers, they’re a rare commodity in our place.” The high schooler hemmed and hawed with an expression that made people uncomfortable.
”No problem.” Chen Ge wanted to separate Jia Ming and Li Zheng and then use his own way to determine whether Jia Ming was a shadow or not, but he didn’t force himself when he saw Li Zheng’s resolute attitude.
This was a normal reaction from Li Zheng, if he didn’t hesitate to hand over Jia Ming, that would be a sign that something was wrong.
”You guys guard the exit, we’ll be out soon.” The secret passage behind the closet was very narrow and could only allow one person to pass through, Chen Ge walked at the front, he summoned Xu Yin and took his heels, testing them out while slowly moving forward.
After about a few meters, Chen Ge felt that he was no longer in the middle of a blood mist, but walking in a pool of blood, every step was very difficult.
”What trap will the shadow lay? Will it directly collapse the building and bury us alive? Or will it detonate that runaway door and kill me along with it.”
All sorts of thoughts popped up in his head, but before he could think of an answer, the door in Liwan Town that was pushed open by Boo had already appeared in front of his eyes.
The iron door where Jiang Long had imprisoned Boo’s mother in reality had now changed shape, and dense threads of blood crawled on the door as if it possessed life.
Compared to the door that hadn’t gone out of control, there were several strange things about this door.
The first was that the door panel was covered with cracks underneath the surging blood filaments, seemingly ready to crumble at any moment, and the second was that the corners of the room’s door had obvious defects, and a large piece of the door panel was missing right at the center off center.
If the door was compared to a human, it felt like it was missing limbs and a head.
”You guys look underneath the door panel.”
Chen Ge realized that the biggest difference between this “door” and other “doors” was that there were countless black and red fingers at the bottom of the door panel reaching upwards, firmly grasping the bottom of the door panel, making it impossible for the door to close.
”I’ve seen many doors, but this is the first time I’ve encountered one like this.” The surface of those fingers was pitted as if they had sores, looking very scary.
”Those fingers should be the dead souls of infectious disease people, when the infectious disease broke out in Liwan Town, this place didn’t know how many people were buried, and the whole town was deeply resentful.” The tattooed man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and avoided those fingers from afar, “The shadow would choose to open the runaway door in Liwan Town, probably also wanting to utilize these negative emotions.”
The steady stream of blood mist escaping from the gaping hole was mixed with so many negative emotions that even the strong-willed Chen Ge would experience hallucinations and hallucinations when he was near the door panel, not to mention others.
”The door was found, but this is not the way out.” Chen Ge looked inside through the gap in the iron door, and the door side was still a bloody color: “How about this? I’ll try smashing those fingers under the door panel?”
”Don’t bother with those fingers, they’re sowing pain, despair, and other negative emotions, they don’t affect us.” The smiling man spoke in a normal tone for the first time, “The crux of the matter is that this is an incomplete door, and if you want to go out through this door, you have to find all the missing places on the door before you can do so.”
”Liwan Town is so big, it’s too hard to find all the missing places.” The tattooed man had already despaired, “No wonder there are no guards here, it turns out that there is no need for guards at all, Shadow had anticipated everything.”
”Don’t give up in a hurry.” Chen Ge looked at the badly damaged door and suddenly said to the tattooed man, “You said that most of the outsiders entered behind the door through the Underworld Building?”
”Yes, but the Underworld Building is just a front.” The tattooed man realized that he was so powerless in front of the Shadow, that his years of investigation had come to nothing in the end.
”No, Shadow wouldn’t do something so boring, there must be a significance to the construction of the Underworld Building.” Chen Ge walked to the out-of-control door, “The Underworld Building is in the middle of the Mingyang neighborhood, and I had followed the police from the city precinct into the Mingyang neighborhood, where I found a girl’s limbs and head. Each of the four buildings in the Mingyang District hid her limbs, while her head was buried in the upper center of the district.”
”What are you trying to say?” The tattooed man didn’t quite understand what Chen Ge meant.
”The girl who was killed was the one who pushed open this door, and her body was separated and hidden in the middle of the Mingyang neighborhood, which is where the Underworld Building is located, and the most crucial place is ……,” Chen Ge pointed at the out-of-control bloody door, “This door panel looks like a person with missing limbs and head?”
A word woke up the dreamer, and the smiling man was the first to understand, “For the door pusher, the door is the trust, the body! I get it, you’re saying that the mutilated area on the door of the room was hidden by the shadow in the Ming Yang neighborhood! The body corresponds exactly to the mutilated door!”
”The door of Liwan Town was not pushed open by Shadow, but it was hijacked by Shadow, who let the door get out of control in order to fulfill his purpose, so where is the original owner of the door now? Did she choose to submit, or was she controlled by Shadow in some way?” What Chen Ge said was actually not difficult to think of, it was just that many people would not even think in those terms in the midst of such extreme circumstances.
”It seems like finding this door is just the beginning, I thought things were too simple.” The tattooed man had a bitter face, “Are we going to the Underworld Building now? It’s not like no one has left Liwan Town in the past few years, but all the people who left the town never came back.”
”If you want to leave, you can only do so by going to the missing pieces of door panels.” Chen Ge waved at them, signaling that they could leave, “The passageway is too narrow, if Shadow is tampering with it, there’s not even a place to run when something really goes wrong, I’ll dig this secret passageway after I find all the missing door panels.”
”The runaway door is the source of all the blood mist in Liwan Town, Shadow shouldn’t set up traps here unless he’s not ready to give up this place.” The tattooed man still had a better understanding of Shadow, and he moved his feet carefully, but before his words fell, screams came from outside the secret passage.
”It’s Jia Ming!”
Hearing the sound, several people immediately quickened their pace, and when Chen Ge rushed out of the secret passage, he was just in time to see a blood-red hand grasping the scissors and dragging it towards the upper floor.
The blood mist filled the air, and by the time Chen Ge wanted to go after them, the scissors’ figure had already disappeared in the middle of the hallway.
The surroundings were silent, as if nothing had happened.
Li Zheng, Jia Ming, Scissors, and the drunkard, all the people who were outside had disappeared into thin air, it was just a back and forth, before and after just a few minutes.
”You’re really a crow’s mouth.”
Chen Ge swept a glance at the tattooed man, and the other party didn’t expect this to happen, “What now? Go to the Underworld Building? Or do we find a few of them first?”
”Saving people is important.” The innocents were able to bring Chen Ge extra rewards, and almost all of the innocents he could identify had been captured, and now these few around him were homicidal maniacs and monsters.
Chen Ge carried the skull-crushing hammer towards where the scissors had disappeared, with the high school student and the tattooed man following behind, while Smiley stood on the first floor without moving.
”Are you guys in such a hurry to die?” A cold voice came out from a mouth piled with smiles as the smiling man looked at Chen Ge, “The runaway door is the source of the blood mist, setting up a trap here might affect the door, and that would not be in the Shadow’s interest, so there’s a big chance that he’s using the runaway door to paralyze us first, before introducing us into the real killing game.”
”My thoughts are not quite the same as yours, Shadow is good at psychological warfare, he gives us all sorts of hints and provokes the relationship between us to achieve his own goals. Playing this kind of psychological warfare, the more people there are, the more disorganized their hearts are the better for him, there is absolutely no need for him to make a move on the few people who stayed outside at this time, I feel that he is starting to get impatient, the situation may be out of his control, that’s why he stepped in to intervene.” Those few people had already disappeared in the hallway, Chen Ge dragging the skull crushing hammer was not in a hurry, he searched from room to room, anyway, there was still space in his backpack and comic book, if he saw anything useful, he would just take it away.
”But a few of us didn’t do anything ah? Could it be that you guessed the location of the room’s door debris, causing him to start panicking?” In the tattooed man’s mind, Shadow was the god of Liwan Town, and a god would never make a mistake, much less be in a hurry.
”This should only be part of the reason, if my guess is right, it could be because there are other outsiders in Liwan Town and Shadow had to divert some of his energy to deal with him.” Chen Ge had always felt that the shadow hadn’t used his full strength to deal with himself, the guy seemed to be scrupulous about something, Chen Ge had this feeling when he resolved the Overeating Female Ghost at the restaurant, and at this time, this feeling was even stronger after he found out that there was no imagined extermination trap in the neighborhood where Fan Cong was located.
”Anyway, this is a good thing for us.” Chen Ge made a conclusion, “I’m not afraid of Shadow making a move, as long as he makes a move, he will reveal more things, what I’m most worried about is that he keeps hiding, the deeper he hides, the more uneasy I’ll be.”
Chen Ge was hanging out with a few real psychopathic murderers, not only did he not feel any discomfort, instead, he vaguely felt like he had become the backbone of the group, something that I’m afraid he himself didn’t even realize.
Walking towards the upper floors, Chen Ge saw many gray and black humanoid stains on the walls on both sides, their bodies twisted as if they were suffering.
”The neighborhood where Fan Cong lives used to be a hospital family compound, constructed before the outbreak of the infectious disease, were there patients living in this building before?” Chen Ge did not touch those stains, he vaguely felt that the Shadow’s real bottom line would be related to those infectious patients.
