Chapter 0666 – Stain, Elevator, Cigarette
There were screams and wails everywhere, this was a major cleansing, Shadow was very decisive at the critical moment, it was better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go.
After Chen Ge ran out of the building, he quickly realized the severity of the matter, humanoid stains began to surface everywhere in the streets, walls, and surrounding buildings.
They frantically attacked everything in sight, no matter if it was a living person or a stern ghost, as long as they found them, it was deathless.
”Get out of the way!”
The window of a house on Chen Ge’s left side was pushed open, and through the security net, Chen Ge saw a man inside wearing only his pants who was grabbing a table lamp and slamming it hard into the corner of the room.
The door of the room was pushed open silently, and stains that reeked of danger entered the house; it was an old man with a hunched back and a face with no features towards the man, rushing towards the man by the window with a speed that was completely incompatible with his body.
”Groove! Stay back!” The man grabbed the ashtray on the windowsill and smashed it, but the glass ashtray passed right through the middle of the old man’s body, the other man’s speed not slowing down in the slightest.
The fear in his eyes almost overflowed, and he threw everything he could grab at hand, but he couldn’t hinder the other party in the slightest.
”I managed to snatch this home from a few other crazy people with great difficulty.” The man had seen a lot of strange things and experienced a lot of unbelievable things in the time he had lived in Liwan Town, but he had survived them all.
He was a madman who had been sent to a mental hospital several times by his family, and he was a firm believer in the existence of God, but unlike those believers, he stubbornly believed that he was God, and no matter how much he harmed himself, he could never truly die, and this was proof of that.
”Spell it out! Old man! You’re fighting against God!” The windows were fitted with security grills, there was no way for the man to leave, the house that normally brought him a sense of security was now a prison that restricted his escape, he could only fight.
The man copied the chair that had tipped over next to him and smashed it against the humanoid stain’s head.
Striking the brain would most effectively utilize the power of a blunt weapon, but what the man didn’t expect was that the chair landed on the stain’s head as if it had struck a puddle of liquid.
The chair passed through the middle of the stain and the man rushed to let go, but by this time the old man had run to him.
The man ran towards the bed, he saw Chen Ge outside the security fence and called out, but it was too late.
The humanoid stains crawled up his body, stuck to his back, and then merged into his body a little bit.
The man’s skin turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hands gripping the security net were powerless to loosen, and his face vaguely emerged as another face, full of wrinkles and dry skin.
The two faces reunited, probably because of too much pain, the man lost his mind, he drilled towards the right side of the security net where a small piece was missing, this should be the back way he left for himself, it was hard to find out without paying attention, he didn’t wear an outerwear probably also considering that in the process of escaping, the outerwear might hang on the security net.
”Help me, help me!”
Streaks of blood were scraped from his body, the man’s expression twisted as something seemed to burrow into the bloody light, rumbling across his skin before a streak burst open.
Grayish-black blood flowed from the man’s lifeless body, the blood filled with black and of gray particles.
After probably only a few seconds, the particles gathered together and burrowed out from behind the man.
The scene in front of him looked eerie, it was as if the old man had gained a new life in this victim, Chen Ge felt a second emotion from him other than destruction, it was a kind of vengeful pleasure.
The man’s body was stuck in the middle of the security net, and what was even more horrifying was that after the body fell, a small stain appeared again in the same spot where he died.
The stain hadn’t yet taken shape, but Chen Ge had a hunch that if he didn’t go and stop it, in a few years, there might be another human-shaped stain on the windowsill.
”The person killed by the stain will also turn into a stain, this thing is just like an infectious disease.” The man’s death was extremely horrifying, and Chen Ge was even more reluctant to cross paths with these things, “The Shadow’s killer is truly terrifying, and when he’s done ‘cleansing’ it, the number of humanoid stains in Liwan Town will increase.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ……
Strange noises came from behind, the girl with no five senses was still following Chen Ge, and the old man in the room also spotted Chen Ge and chased after him.
”This thing must have a weakness as well, I just don’t have the time to slowly look for it right now.” Chen Ge wanted to shake off the girl and the old man, but realized that there were more humanoid stains in front of him.
”The situation isn’t good.” Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to look into the distance, the humanoid stains in all the buildings in Liwan Town were slowly waking up, and many homicidal maniacs had been forced onto the road, most of them fleeing for their lives in two directions.
One was the direction where Dr. Gao and Shadow fought, there were many stains on that road as well, but it was blocked by the blood mist and chains, they were unable to enter for the time being.
The other road Chen Ge didn’t know led there, so in order not to expose himself, he had to follow behind and mix in with the homicidal maniacs.
Those who could survive in Liwan Town, regardless of their abilities, were at least fast runners, and when being chased by ghosts and monsters, the only way to have a better chance of being able to survive was to run faster than the others.
Liwan Town wasn’t that big, and with the stains chasing them, the group quickly ran through half of Liwan, and they eventually stopped in front of an old residential building.
The architectural style was still the same as many years ago, and there was a sliding door type elevator installed inside.
This elevator was rarely installed in residential buildings and was mostly used to transport goods.
”Get out of the way!” The elevator had a limited number of people it could accommodate, and the sooner they got in, the more advantageous it would be, and when their lives were threatened, this group of murderous maniacs revealed their nature.
There was no such thing as teamwork in their eyes, they never considered a win-win situation, they only sought to be able to live alone.
The building had a total of nine floors, which already belonged to a very high building in Liwan Town, Chen Ge used his Yin pupil to sweep the building, and he also found something strange about the building.
There were stains appearing in all the other buildings, only this building was dead silent, no stains, no ghosts, and there didn’t seem to be any life present.
”Why do I feel that this building is more terrifying than those stains?” The homicidal maniac who ran at the front had already rushed into the middle of the elevator, and he pressed the switch very decisively, hating that the elevator door would immediately close.
”Boom!”
The people in the back sensed that the man was preparing to leave by the elevator alone, and directly threw the sharp objects in their hands towards the elevator, the elevator doors of those old-fashioned freight elevators were skeletonized, and the speed was very slow, which resulted in the result that everyone’s nobody’s don’t want to go by taking the elevator.
”I’d rather take the stairs.” Chen Ge had little interest in these homicidal maniacs, they didn’t even have the value of the employees that they had become, rather than hooking up with them, it would be better to go in and check it out yourself.
Walking to the stairway, Chen Ge hadn’t gone in yet, and the moment he looked up and scanned the area, he froze directly in place as if he had been electrocuted.
Right next to the building’s only hallway, there was a poster of New Century Paradise plastered on it!
The poster was already yellowed and mutilated in a large chunk, but Chen Ge still recognized it at once because right in the middle of the poster was his House of Horrors!
Many years ago when the park just opened, Chen Ge’s haunted house is the park’s signboard, when the information transfer is not as fast as now, the park will be their own advertisements and posters distributed to various places in Jiujiang, all visitors to play will also be free to give away the beautifully crafted posters of the park, so that they can help publicize.
If he had just seen the posters Chen Ge wouldn’t have been so excited, it would have been an accident at best, but he remembered something.
On the way here, he had received a call from Fan Cong.
On the phone, Fan Cong did say that he had already beaten the Boo game, and the last scene of the game was Boo entering the middle of a building that had the New Century Paradise posters plastered on its walls!
”Finally!” Chen Ge had been looking for this place when he was wandering around Liwan Town before, but he had never found it, and now he finally got what he wanted.
”Boo might be in here, and my parents might have left their own messages in this building!”
In the underground corpse vault, after Chen Ge and Dr. Gao fought, Dr. Gao, who was already barely controlling himself, had shown Chen Ge a photo.
On that photo, Chen Ge’s parents were with the little girl in red, and the girl in red was Boo, so Chen Ge could be sure that Boo must have known about his parents, and that there must have been communication between them!
The more he unlocked new quests, the more Chen Ge realized that this matter of his parents’ disappearance wasn’t simple, the wide range of involvement and the magnitude of involvement were far beyond his imagination.
Every time he thought he was close to the truth, he would uncover a deeper darkness.
Reaching out and touching the edge of the poster, Chen Ge looked at the building, summoned all of the severe ghosts on his body, and took a few steps towards the inside.
”Sealed?”
Chen Ge didn’t know if this was the work of the shadows or if the building itself was sealed off, the building passage was blocked by bricks, leaving no gap at all.
”Boom!”
Chen Ge took the skull-crushing hammer and smashed it towards the wall, he realized that the wall blocking the way was very thick, and it was time-consuming to try to hammer out a path.
”Looks like we can only take the elevator.”
Xiao Bu might be hiding in this building, involving the ultimate secret of Liwan Town and also related to his own missing parents, Chen Ge changed his usual amicable nature, lifted the skull crushing hammer, and rushed towards the elevator with Xu Yin in tow.
”If you guys dare to close the door, I’ll smash the safety that holds the elevator in place!”
Standing a dozen meters away, Chen Ge shouted loudly, his voice was flat and he didn’t use any particular tone, but it was just like that, and the homicidal maniacs were honest.
The building itself had no humanoid stains, and those outside began to slow down after approaching the building, but only just.
The building seemed to be the second forbidden place in Shadow’s mind, and after he realized that someone had ducked into the building, he began to make that strange sound again, as if he was calling out a name.
At the sound of his voice, the stains picked up speed and surged towards the building.
”If Shadow knows that Boo is hiding here, then why doesn’t he make a move and just grab Boo, this is Liwan Town, this place is his territory.”
Several homicidal maniacs huddled together, before Chen Ge arrived they had already fought each other because of their overweight, no living person wanted to be thrown out so they produced several corpses.
After Chen Ge entered, the elevator finally started up and wobbled as it began to descend.
”How is it going down?” The homicidal maniac standing next to the control panel exclaimed, “I clearly pressed up!”
”Don’t panic, it’s probably because there’s someone underground and it’s trying to come up.” The elevator was crowded, but even in this situation, Chen Ge had an empty circle around him.
There were two more floors underneath this building, all of which were basements for rent, to some outsiders who couldn’t afford to rent a house.
A few years ago, Jiujiang is ready to vigorously develop the eastern suburbs, everyone is optimistic about this place, and is building factories and buildings, attracting a large number of foreign workers similar to Jia Ming, who could not have imagined that a few years later the eastern suburbs would become like this.
The elevator was slow, and bizarrely, the elevator, which was used to carry cargo, stopped for a moment as it passed the first floor.
There was no one outside, and the man next to the control panel pressed the button leading upstairs a few more times in quick succession.
A few moments later the elevator doors closed, but it still didn’t go up, instead it continued down and opened its doors on the second basement level.
”What’s going on?” The man next to the control panel pressed the button a few times, the elevator door just couldn’t close, he tried half a dozen times and suddenly exclaimed out in shock, “How come this elevator is showing overweight?!”
The display of this old elevator was on the control panel, it was so small that you couldn’t even see the words at the bottom of the panel without paying attention.
”There has been no change in our numbers, so why is it suddenly overweight? Could it be that someone got on the elevator just now?” The people in the elevator at this time had all lived in Liwan Town for some time, and they were well aware of the various situations they might encounter here.
The question before them now was to remain in the elevator or to leave.
Stay in the elevator, the ghosts are around.
Leave, there might be more ghosts and monsters deep in the second basement.
”Is the elevator malfunctioning? Why don’t one of you go down and try?” Someone suggested, but it was quickly dismissed as no one was willing to leave.
Compared to the gloomy underground, going up was clearly a better option, at least at first glance.
It wasn’t a good idea to drag it out like this, Chen Ge couldn’t take out all of the other homicidal maniacs, and he wasn’t in the mood to do so, so he simply walked out of the elevator on his own.
Strange to say, after he left the elevator, it immediately returned to normal.
”What does it mean? Could it be that this elevator can measure the weight of ghosts? Is it counting them in as well?”
Seeing Chen Ge leave, the other few homicidal maniacs, fearing that he would backtrack, hurriedly pressed the button and prepared to run upwards.
This time the elevator doors moved, and as they slowly closed, Chen Ge saw a few more figures standing with their backs to him in the elevator.
”Good luck, guys.”
Chen Ge ran around the second basement level with the skull crushing hammer in his hand, and he found more and more strange places, such as the well-preserved posters of the park on the walls, and some scrap crafting equipment, which were all related to his haunted house.
After running all the way to the deepest part of the second underground floor, Chen Ge stopped in front of a certain door.
The door to this room was exactly the same as the other doors, there was no difference, but there were many cigarette butts thrown on the floor in front of the door, and this brand of cigarettes happened to be Chen Ge’s father’s favorite.
