Chapter 0973: What Zhang Ya Wants
This old mansion was a bit old, the ground was paved with mottled stones, the walls were made of green bricks, and there were yellow talisman paper stuffed in the cracks of the bricks.
The mansion was very ordinary, there was nothing special about it, but looking at it always made people feel uncomfortable, probably because of those talismans.
Pushing open the vermilion door, a thick musty smell floated out from the courtyard wall, yellowish paper money was sprinkled on the ground, white inverted blessings were pasted on the pillars, and the roof was filled with small people made of paper.
Going further in, entering the main hall, there was a copper mirror in the center of the lobby, with a sacrificial text written on the mirror, in front of the mirror were the heads of a pig, a sheep and a cow, as well as a copper stove with three sticks of broken incense inserted into it.
”The heads of that pig, sheep and cow are all real?”
Before he even got close, Chen Ge could smell the strange odor emanating from the sacrifices, the stuff already stank, but the paradise didn’t seem to have any intention of replacing it.
”I didn’t think I could see such a traditional scene in a virtual future paradise.”
Avoiding the bronze mirror, Chen Ge looked around, twenty-four pictures of evil ghosts hung on the walls of the main hall, and each of the evil ghosts in the pictures were missing a part of their bodies, some were missing an eye, some were missing a leg.
”Why are all the evil ghosts mutilated? Is it because they are afraid that if the painting is complete, the evil ghosts will run out of the painting?”
The paintings on the walls looked dated and didn’t look like imitations.
Chen Ge walked over to the evil ghost portrait and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, “It’s very similar to the evil ghost that Dr. Gao carved on the door of my haunted house, and when Chang Wenyu wanted to destroy that door of the Psychic Ghost School, she had a similar evil ghost picture branded on her back. Only the difference is that the evil ghost diagrams that Dr. Gao and Chang Wenyu took out were complete, while the evil ghost diagrams here are all mutilated and devoid of divinity.”
Holding up the head of the headless female ghost, Chen Ge asked the other party if she could perceive anything from the painting, and the headless female ghost looked at it for half a day, even touching the scroll with her blood threads, but she did not find any abnormalities.
”The entire old mansion is permeated with an air that makes people very uncomfortable, I don’t recognize many of the words on the rituals, but they don’t give me the feeling that they are praying for peace.”
Chen Ge wanted to study it for a while longer, but the sound of something being knocked over came from the side hall.
Lifting the chainsaw, Chen Ge pushed open the door to the side hall, blood stains remained on the floor, and red-stained paper money clung to the floor.
Just after entering this house Chen Ge had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if his body was wrapped in something and breathing became difficult.
”Not quite right.” He didn’t continue to walk forward, but stood at the door.
Not a moment later, he vaguely heard the voice of the man with glasses.
”You move fast, that guy might be coming over soon.”
”I know, the point is that I don’t seem to have the key to this door.”
”I thought you said you could open all the doors inside the scene?” The man with the glasses screwed up his throat, seemingly anxious, but not daring to speak up.
”Before we came in, I memorized the information of all the scenes, but I don’t have any impression of this scene! Really, I regretted it after I came in just now, I don’t have any information related to this scene in my head at all.” The youngest boy’s voice was trembling.
”There’s no record of this scene?”
”Yeah, you just asked me to open the door, I don’t even have the corresponding key, how can I open it for you?”
”It can’t be! Is it possible that the information was left out?”
”Bai Bu Xie personally gave me the information the day before he went to the haunted house in the western suburb, do you think there would be a problem?”
”With Team Leader Bai’s character, there would definitely be no mistakes.” The man with glasses was a bit confused, “Then what do you think the reason is because of?”
”When our haunted house was first constructed, some of the scenes were the responsibility of Directors Qing Ming and Jiang Jiu, this scene might have been added by them secretly.” The youngest boy said quietly, “That Director Jiang Jiu is secretive, he probably already knew that our haunted house would be haunted someday, and now he’s screwing us over.”
”Jiang Jiu? I remember, I heard that Virtual Future Land was not prepared to build a haunted house, but he insisted on doing so, and finally the top agreed.”
”Yes, that’s him, this guy has done a lot of harm.”
The two men whispered, their voices coming from outside the side hall.
”They don’t have a key for this scene? The mansion scene is not among the haunted house records?” Chen Ge didn’t directly chase after them, he had ghost ears, and at this moment, in addition to the voices of the two “tourists” in the mansion, he could also hear Xu Yin’s voice and the sound of singing ancient songs.
”Xu Yin doesn’t like to talk much, and being able to make him talk means that he has met a formidable enemy.” Chen Ge almost didn’t dare to imagine that he was now in the middle of a paradise that was in business, with the crowd outside and tens of thousands of tourists still visiting and playing, and in this situation, he could actually meet a red coat that was a match for Xu Yin.
”The two tourists are trapped in the courtyard, Xu Yin and the costume red dress should be outside the courtyard wall.” Chen Ge couldn’t help but sigh, “Those two tourists were really lucky, if they had the key, opening the door and going out might have seen the three red coats who were fighting, by then it wouldn’t be as simple as being stimulated, I’m afraid that their worldview would be directly turned upside down.”
Through the conversation of the two tourists, Chen Ge knew that this was the scene he was looking for, and he no longer needed a tour guide.
Waiting for the foul-smelling redcoats in the back to arrive, Chen Ge, accompanied by the two redcoats, pushed open the door to the side hall.
At this moment, the man with the glasses was crouching by the wall, and the youngest boy was stepping on his shoulders as he seemed to be preparing to go over the gap between the fence and the roof.
The two men held this position and saw Chen Ge who had come in, followed by the headless female ghost and the obese stench.
”Bam!”
The glasses man threw the young boys off, Chen Ge ignored them and raised his large saw to smash into the locked wooden door of the small courtyard, he gave the impression that he was being chased as well.
The courtyard door opened and Chen Ge ran out, the glasses man and the young boy sprawled on the ground, silently staring at each other with the two red coats.
Chen Ge didn’t bother about the screams behind him, after he ran out of the small courtyard, the first thing he did was to put the chainsaw across his body and stand with his back against the wall.
Only after making sure that he wouldn’t be attacked did Chen Ge use his Yin pupil to observe his surroundings.
The costume red dress was surrounded by Xu Yin and the red high heels, her breath was weak, she was already at a disadvantage, and she refused to dodge in the face of the attacks, and she touched them hard every time.
”She seems to be guarding something?”
Changing his angle, Chen Ge realized that there was another shrine behind the costumed red dress, and the shape of this shrine was exactly the same as the one in the Cursed House, with the difference being that there was a severed clay statue placed in the middle of the shrine.
The clay statue was filled with black and red blood stains, and the most crucial thing was that the word Chen Ge was written on the clay statue.
”Why did my name appear there?!”
Chen Ge had not yet recovered from his surprise when his heart suddenly began to beat violently, the outline of the shadow behind him slowly changed, and there seemed to be a voice deep in his consciousness telling him to approach the shrine and take away that clay image.
