Chapter 0960 – House of the Curse
The video in the DV was still playing, I don’t know if it was because of the light or something else, the video image was getting blurry, as if it was enveloped by a dark shadow.
The words of the man in the video attracted the interest of the others, and under their constant questioning, the man said something that happened to him.
When he was a child, there was also a shrine in his house, and that shrine was enshrined in a position directly opposite the living room door, covered with a thick black cloth.
Before his death, the man’s grandfather told his family not to open the shrine no matter what happened after his death, and when he was buried, to bury the shrine directly in his coffin.
Because of the inheritance issue, the family fell out after the grandfather’s death, and the quarrel quickly turned into a physical conflict, and the shrine was knocked over in the course of the fight.
The adults were so angry that no one cared about the fallen shrine, but the young grandson took a curious look into the shrine.
Then the young grandson made a move that no one expected, he called out to the shrine – Grandpa.
The sound scared the adults who were fighting over the inheritance, and they all stared at the little grandson, while the young grandson squatted in front of the shrine and stared straight at the shrine, as if his grandfather was hiding in the shrine at that moment.
In the countryside, there is a saying that children can see ghosts, and the adults thought that the old man was angry, and hurriedly put the shrine back in place, and finally sold the old house according to the will, and buried the shrine and the old man’s ashes together.
This would have been the end of the matter, but the man’s words turned, on the day of the old man’s burial, the little grandson, who had previously seen the contents of the shrine, also disappeared.
It was as if he had disappeared, no one knew where he had gone or what he had seen in the shrine.
In the video, several friends listened to the man’s story not only did not fear, and even began to encourage the owner of the ancestral home to open their own shrine to see.
Fueled by alcohol, several people were cajoling as they walked toward the corridor.
Some of them were holding wine glasses, some were holding cell phones, and others were videoing with DVs.
It was raining heavily outside the old mansion, and several people noisily stopped by the shrine.
The fat man who had just passed by the shrine stood at the front, he reached out and lifted the black cloth above the shrine, a pair of fat hands grabbed the door of the shrine.
As the fat man slowly exerted his strength and prepared to open the shrine, a flash of lightning streaked through the window, and all the lights in the room suddenly went out.
At the same time, just as several tourists were concentrating on watching the DV footage, the lights in the reality scene also went out!
Reality and the video were synchronized, screams came out from the video, and the tourists in the reality were also screaming, everything was like a replica and a re-enactment.
The sound of the shrine door being opened rang out in the darkness, and after a few seconds, the lights in the video and reality were restored at the same time.
The seven friends in the video were gathered in the hallway, dazed, as they realized that the shrine door had been opened.
Those seven people looked at each other, and finally all of them looked at Fatty, who was very puzzled, saying that he hadn’t exerted any force at all, and that he wasn’t the one who opened the shrine.
When he saw this, Chen Ge shouted at the tourists around him “All get out of the way!”
He looked to the end of the corridor, and in the dark corner, the lone shrine was opened!
”When was it opened?”
”I don’t know!” The policeman had an even more helpless expression, “I didn’t have this part the last time I came to play.”
The video was still playing, the DV was fixed to the suitcase, and the suitcase was stuck in the middle of the bed and the cabinet making it difficult to remove, Chen Ge and the others could only ignore the shrine for the time being and continue to watch.
As the light returned to the room, several people also saw that there was nothing in the shrine, and they all felt that the legend was just a lie, and then returned to the main hall.
They played for a while longer and found it meaningless, so they simply cleaned up the house, piling up the bottles and various trash in the corners, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
The DV was taken away by one of the men, who went back to his room, the house where Chen Ge and the others were now.
The man said goodnight at the DV and then turned it off.
The tourists thought that the video ended there, but after a while, a new video appeared.
The man, who had looked calm before, was now curled up under the covers, holding up the DV he had just turned on with a shaking hand.
Just when the tourists do not understand what he is doing, the man will be DV lens secretly out of the quilt, shooting the screen just to the bedroom closet.
There were no lights on in the bedroom, the light was dark, and the closet in the picture didn’t look too scary, except that it wasn’t closed tightly, leaving a gap.
The picture was almost still, and just then an eye suddenly flashed in the closet!
The image shakes a little, and you can tell that the man hiding under the covers is terrified, and he’s forcing himself not to make a sound.
The man could be sure that something was hiding in the closet, and he took the video and kept filming the closet, but the eye never appeared again.
After a while, the DV seemed to be about to run out of battery, the man grabbed the DV with one hand and went to reach for something with the other, but just then the picture suddenly trembled, seemingly because the man had touched something.
The man’s hand holding the DV then slowly turned, and he pointed the camera at himself.
The picture revealed his face, and also the other face under the covers.
The man tried to scream, but dirty black hair strangled his neck and stuffed his mouth.
The DV dropped and the image ended up in the doorway, and in the direction of the shot you could just make out the shrine that had been opened at the end of the corridor.
After watching the DV, the tourists around them were already in a cold sweat.
With the known strategy not working, all the tourists looked at Chen Ge, who seemed to have become the default centerpiece.
”The most dangerous thing in this scene is the shrine, normally tourists would never open it, but in Hell difficulty, someone helped us open it.” Chen Ge turned around only to realize that everyone was honestly waiting for him to continue, “My occupation is just volunteer work, is it okay if you guys have a little bit of your own ideas once in a while?”
In a team of seven people, six were all moleholes, and the only tourist was still mixed up as a team leader.
Chen Ge wanted to find out some information, and these “tourists” were still useful, so he could only force himself to act as if he hadn’t found out: “The video doesn’t tell us what’s in the shrine, but this house must have something to do with the shrine, and the key to escaping should also be in the shrine. I remember one of you is a detective and can get a clue to the location once we enter the new scene.”
”I am a detective.” The man with the glasses lifted his own wristwatch and looked at it for a moment, “That clue is hidden inside the shrine ……”
Several tourists walked out of the bedroom and to the end of the hallway.
The man with the glasses shines his cell phone inside the shrine, and several people bend down to look and find the word “DEATH” dug out with their fingernails all over the inner walls of the shrine.
